Supergiant Games doesn't usually offer official mod support, but there's still plenty to choose from. Some of the studio's developers, like Kid_Zomb, even mentioned that they were “…curious to see what interests our gaming community on this front.” Unsurprisingly, many mods are designed to outright cheat in-game, but there are utility mods available to players. The modding community for the game is starting to grow and a popular discord community has been created to help people with their modding endeavors. Here's our list of the best mods currently available for Hades in no particular order.
Please note that while some of these mods allow players to cheat, we suggest staying away from them until you have completed at least one successful run. It's a fantastic game and we encourage its players to experience everything the game has to offer. Some of these mods are waiting to be updated after the recent 1.0 version.
mod utility
This is a MagicGonads mod that does nothing on its own. This utility makes modding Hades and Pyre a bit easier. It is mainly used for mapping tables and wrapper functions. Many mods use this utility to run. It's a good idea to go ahead and install and keep it up to date so you can use a lot of mods that are currently available. If you want to start creating mods for Hades, or just creating mods in general, this utility provides a good base to start with and the creator has a GitHub repository with a ton of great information to use it.
Loot Choice Extender
This mod by MagicGonadsNEW lets you expand the loot choice menu to give you more than three options. This mod requires a bit of setup to get the most out of it. To configure the mod you will need an editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Players can edit the MinExtraLootChoices and MaxExtraLootChoices lines to change the number of options that appear each run. This can alter options like the Boon and Hammer of Daedalus menus. This is a very useful mod if you're trying to create a very specific weapon build but are worried about not getting the right perks or upgrades for it in your run. If you are interested in creating your own mods, the creator of this one designed it for use in other mods. This mod requires the use of ModUtil.
Zagreus the fisherman
Now you can spend more time enjoying the best part of Hades, fishing. This mod by AkemiNakamura makes some small changes to the game's fishing mechanics. You can spend more time fishing, and pools spawn more frequently. The mod also removes fake bobs and increases the spawn rate of all fish.
Ello Starting Perk Selector
This mod allows you to choose the seed used to generate each run. The mod focuses specifically on the RNG seed needed to decide the first perk you get. You can change the seed by opening the Boon menu before you go racing and clicking the new button at the bottom. You will receive a new interface with arrows to choose the seed. The interface will also show you which God will appear first in the race. You can also configure it to get a Hammer of Daedalus instead. This is a great mod to get the Boon or upgrade you need for a particular build at the start.
Codex menu
LRevolution's Codex Menu mod turns the codex into a cheat menu. This is a good mod to have if you're on your second playthrough and want to go through certain parts of the game. After opening the codex spawn rewards, change weapons, open the Pact of Punishment, or even clear all your benefits. Simply click on any relevant item in the codex and hold 'C' for a few seconds for it to appear or for another menu to appear. It's also a good tool to have if you run off and realize you forgot to switch weapons or Mirror of Night abilities.
