Hades 2: How To Unlock The Argent Skull

With the surprise release of the highly-anticipated Hades 2 from Supergiant this week comes a flood of new gameplay and mysteries to explore; one such mystery is the newest weapon added to the Hades roster, the Argent Skull.

After all four of these weapons have been unlocked, the Argent Skull will appear as an option in the armory for players to unlock.

One of these resources, Bronze, comes from the surface, so you'll have to head towards Olympus in order to gather the material you need.
