As such, the line-up for this evening is leaning more toward the lighter side.

How to unlock the hot springs in Hades 2

Nothing like a dip in a hot springs, but in order to get the geologically heated water pond inHades 2, you’ll have to take care of a few things. This is how to unlock the Hot Springs. The Crossroads Hot Springs is unlocked using the cauldron. However, the spell (and the cauldron itself) isn’t available from the start.
