Hades 2 Post-Launch Patch 2 Hotfix 4 fixes Medea, Hermes, and Artemis bugs

Supergiant Games dropped Post-Launch Patch 2 Hotfix 4 for Hades 2, targeting a handful of specific bugs that slipped through earlier updates.

Suffering on Sight, the Medea boon, was incorrectly damaging enemies already present when entering a new Location — that's fixed. Tall Order from Hermes was handing out its bonus even when the Element requirement wasn't met, which is also patched out. Artemis had a chance to appear singing by the Crossroads Cauldron instead of her correct spot, and Dire Auto-Seekers were becoming stun-immune if their Armor was stripped while in defensive mode — both resolved. The patch also fixes a spoiler-tagged issue where the Boiling Blood indicator stayed visible during Melinoë's Return to Shadow sequence against Zagreus. Notably, the previous hotfix introduced a regression where command inputs sometimes failed to queue correctly when clearing an Encounter — that's now corrected too.

Hades 2 has been in Early Access since May 2024, with Supergiant steadily pushing balance passes and bug fixes between larger content updates. Post-Launch Patch 2 is the second major update since the game hit version 1.0, and these hotfixes show the studio continuing its hands-on approach to squashing regressions quickly.

No community reaction is noted in the patch notes, but fixing the command input regression from the previous hotfix will likely be the most immediately felt change for players mid-run.
