One of the best parts of Hades 2 is being able to recruit animal companions to come with you in your fights against time or in Olympus. But if you have been wondering how to recruit Hecuba the Hound in Hades 2, then you just nee♔d to keep reading to find out wಌhat to do.
How to recruit Hecuba in Hades 2
Hecuba is the fourth animal companion in Hades 2 that Melinoe can get to come with her. You might have seen Hecuba in Echo’s room a few times, but besides a few pets, the dog does not seem very interested in coming back with us.
In order to get the sweet hound to join you, you have to become friendly with your other three companions. Make sure you have done several runs with your o🌠ther animals, Raki the Raven, Toula the Cat, and Frinos the Frog. Get friendlyꦑ with them, and also be sure to upgrade them a couple of times whenever you can.
Eventually, you should see the titaness Hecate with an exclamation mark over her head. Speak to her, and s🃏he will mention how much closer you have become to your familiars.
You can also talk to Hecate in Chaos trials, so you are not required to complete a full run just to speak to her. Once the Titaness is sure that you are good enough with animals, she will agree to let you meet Hecuba and lend her to Melinoe. You will find the dog in Echo’s room, make sure you have some animal treats with you, and the hound will be more than happy to come back with you.
