What are Daedalus Hammers?

Boons That Upgrade Weapons

Like Boons, Daedalus Hammers augment certain attacks of Melinoe's equipped weapon. These Hammers switch up your gameplay for a power up, but the effects are exclusive to the run you found it on.

For example, Double Cataclysm gives the Witch's Staff two frontal strikes for its Omega Attack, but removes its rear strike.

List of All Boons

Get From Room Rewards or Charon

Item	How to Get
Daedalus Hammer	・Reward for clearing Encounters in Erebus and beyond ・ Purchased from Charon

Daedalus Hammers can be obtained in a similar way to Boons as well. Keep an eye out for these Hammers from the Room Rewards of Encounters.

However, if you find a Hammer on sale from Charon, consider buying it if you have 200 Gold Crowns to spare.
