BoonEdits

A Hades II mod that reworks and rebalances over 30 boons. Every change is independent and can be switched off on its own.

Check out the companion mod, MoreDuos!

Features

• Reworks various boons and some keepsakes — see the Wiki tab for the full list.
• One toggle per change in ReturnOfModding/config/SWu-BoonEdits.cfg, fully configurable.

Install

Install through a mod manager (Thunderstore or r2modman) to pull in dependencies.

To install by hand, drop the folder into ReturnOfModding/plugins/ and make sure these are present: Hell2Modding, ENVY, Chalk, ReLoad, SJSON and ModUtil.

Configuration

Launch the game once to generate ReturnOfModding/config/SWu-BoonEdits.cfg, then configure (enable/disable) any boon edits.

Experimental changes are off by default (includes limited support for Zagreus' Journey and Wrath of Olympus) -- enable at your own risk!

Be sure to relaunch the game each time you make changes to the config.

Credits

Built on Hell2Modding, ENVY, and SGG_Modding's Chalk, ReLoad, SJSON and ModUtil. No game art and no other modder's code is redistributed here.

1.0.5 - 2026-10-24

Fixed

• Scalding Vapor: now triggers on anything your Steam boon counts as a fireball, so More Duos' Hot Iron weapon strikes can apply it

1.0.4 - 2026-10-23

Changed

• Thermal Dynamics: inflicts Scorch equal to 30% of damage from all lightning from Zeus except chain lightning (was 100% of Blitz only); any core Zeus boon satisfies its requirement

1.0.3 - 2026-10-23

Changed

• Chain Reaction: recharge skip chance lowered to 25% (was 30%)
• Ripple Effect: Phalanx Shot and Support Fire projectiles can now repeat

[1.0.2]

• text changes

1.0.1 - 2026-10-23

Changed

• Sun Worshiper: extra summons now capped at 10 per location instead of per encounter
• Olympian keepsakes: new Heroic rarity moved to Experimental, off by default (Experimental.Keepsakes.OlympianKeepsakes in config)

1.0.0 - 2026-10-22
