An order that reduces missed opportunities
- Before the first escape, expand weapons, Mirror talents and Keepsakes. Use prophecy marks to identify uncollected boons and Hammers during runs.
- After the first escape, progress successes with the 6 weapons, Heat bounties and House Contractor functions. Activate alternate Mirror talents and record successful escapes too.
- Continue the main story's 10 escapes and later conversations; collect 25 Keepsakes, 6 Companions and contract prophecies.
- Reserve separate attempts with suitable equipment and goals for butterfly, plume, Trial Calls and selling a Legendary.
- God Mode does not make Steam achievements unavailable. This covers the original Hades's 49 achievements, excluding the sequel, unofficial mod achievements and daily completion-rate changes.

Checks for butterfly 30% and plume 20%
- Raise the target Keepsake to rank 3 before the attempt: butterfly increments become 2%, plume increments 1.2%.
- For the butterfly, prioritize hitless encounters: inspect enemies before attacking and avoid hazardous floors and traps. For the plume, seek quick eligible clears.
- After each room, check the displayed bonus. In Styx, the final encounter of a wing is eligible; do not simply add every small room.
- Do not switch to another Keepsake. Judge the target from that Keepsake's displayed bonus, not combined dodge chance from the Mirror or other boons.
Bad Call: which god to oppose
- Acquire a Call first. With a setup that can reach a full gauge, look for a Trial of the Gods.
- If your Call god is one of the Trial's 2 gods, select the other reward first. Make your Call god the opponent.
- Fill the entire gauge during the Trial encounter and use that god's Greater Call. Do not spend it early on short Calls.
- Smoldering Air caps the gauge, so it is excluded from this plan. Hades's Call is not treated as a substitute for this Olympian Trial condition.
Before selling a Legendary
- Check Codex prerequisites and acquire a god's Legendary. Distinguish the Legendary label from Duo.
- Find a Pool of Purging and check whether it offers that boon. If not, use a later purging opportunity.
- Selling may temporarily weaken your setup. Decide whether your main attack remains viable. The selling action is the condition; do not add an extra requirement to win the final battle.
