As Prince Zagreus battles his way throughHades, he’ll face certain enemies more powerful than the rest, each of which guards the exit to a region of the Underworld. Defeatingeach of these bosseswill reward the player with a powerful type of currency, known within the game as a Bounty.

However, players will quickly notice that once they’ve beaten a boss with one of the Infernal Arms, they will not receive that Bounty by fighting that boss with that weapon again. Considering the value of Titan’s Blood, Diamonds, and Ambrosia in upgrading weapon aspects, purchasing contracts, winning friends, and more,Hadesplayers may be curious as to how they can obtain more of these items.
Types Of Bounties
There are three different items that appear as bounties inHades.Each of these items may be earned in other ways; namely, by trading with the Wretched Broker or byfulfilling prophecies on the Fated List. However, the term “bounties” refers to items collected through the methods below.

How To Make New Bounties Appear
Earlier in the game, the only way to collect bounties is todefeat each boss with each weapon. However, after defeating the game’s final boss for the first time, Zagreus will unlockthe Pact of Punishment. This allows the player to select certain conditions to make the game more difficult, increasing the heat level. Before unlocking the Pact of Punishment, Zagreus can only obtain six of each bounty; however,each increase in Heat allows him to collect bounties with each weapon once again.

Note, however, that new bounties will not unlock until Zagreus has collectedallthe bounties with that weapon on the previous Heat level. For example, if the player has defeated the Fury Sister and the Bone Hydrawith the Shield of Chaoson Level 3 Heat, but perished in Elysium, cranking the heat up to 4 will not allow them Zag to collect new bounties from those enemies. The player mustclear the game with a given weapon on a given heat to obtain new bounties from higher difficulty.
This only applies to individual Infernal Arms, though — there’s no need to clear Level 1 Heat with all weapons before advancing to the next Heat.Players are free to crank it up to 15 on their best weapon before trying 1 Heat on their worst.
