Legendary Boons are a type of orange-outlined Boon provided by a single god. Legendary boons offer extremely unique skills, and are considered the top-tier blessings. Legendary Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons and, like normal boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.

There are currently 12 Legendary Boons in Hades, shared between 10 different gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Demeter, Poseidon, Zeus, Hermes, and Chaos. Poseidon and Hermes each offer two Legendary Boons.

All Legendary Boons with the exception of Chaos' are classified as "Tier 3 Boons" similar to Duo Boons. (This means that they require at least 2 other Boons from Tiers 1 or 2 to appear.)

The chances for Legendary Boons can be increased with specific gods' Keepsakes, Mini-Boss encounters, Eurydice's Refreshing Nectar, Well of Charon item Yarn of Ariadne, and the Mirror of Night talent God's Legacy.

  • Note that when using certain Weapon Aspects, prerequisite boons may have different names. Example: Aspect of Beowulf: Flood Shot -> Flood Flare
