Controls for Hades 2 showcases information regarding the input mechanisms for Melinoe's movement, combat, and interactions. Listed below are details on the default configuration for PC, keyboard and mouse as well as controller.
Hades 2 Controls Guide
Although you can play and complete Hades 2 using a mouse and keyboard on PC, the developers recommend using a controller for a superior gaming experience. Mouse and keyboard users might find it advantageous to reassign Special to the right mouse button and Cast to a more accessible key or another mouse button. Special is utilized more frequently than Cast, and Cast only becomes a powerful offensive tool after obtaining talent upgrades in the Mirror of Night, making this configuration more efficient for gameplay.
