How to increase Grip in Hades 2

In Hades 2, Melinoë's amount of Grasp determines how many activated tarot cards she can carry at once. I'll show you how to increase her Grip of the Arcana to help you get even closer to defeating Chronos.

You will need to use Melinoë's altar to increase her Grip. This is the same place where you can unlock and activate Tarot Cards.

In the Melinoë change, select the Melinoë image in the upper right corner. It will bring up text describing the Hold of the Arcana.

There are a few things you need to pay attention to in this picture.

  • The arrow shows a set of two numbers below Melinoë's face. The number on the left shows how much Grasp she is currently using, while the number on the right shows how much Grasp is available to use.
  • The description of the Capture of the Arcanes explains that each upgrade increases your Grip by 2 points. Grip is updated using Psyche.
  • The image in the yellow circle shows how many Psyche are needed for the next upgrade. If you don't have enough, the text will be red.
    • The small symbol and white text below the Psyche image shows how many Psyches you have in your inventory.

Once you have collected enough Psyche to upgrade your Grasp, the text will change so that Psyche is written in black and the required amount is written in white.
