If you’re deep into Neon Abyss 2 and wondering how to challenge the high-tier bosses like Talos, Apollo, or Hyperion, this guide walks you through everything you need to know—step by step.
Whether you’re stuck behind progression walls or just curious about boss triggers, here’s how to access each of the late-game fights.
Neon Abyss 2 How to Unlock All Late Game Bosses (Talos to Hyperion)
TALOS – GOD OF AI
To unlock Talos, you must first defeat Trojan – God of Hackers at least once.
- After that initial kill, Talos will start appearing in future runs.
- Talos usually appears on Floor 5, but it seems to alternate randomly between Trojan and Talos.
- If you don’t encounter him right away, don’t worry—he will show up eventually as long as Trojan has been defeated.
APOLLO – GOD OF EDM
Apollo becomes available after you defeat Talos.
- You must start a fresh run after beating Talos to be eligible to fight Apollo.
- Like Talos, Apollo’s floor spawn is pre-set, so just progress normally through the run.
ERIS – GODDESS OF PSYCHEDELIA
Unlocking Eris requires a bit more strategy.
Here’s the requirement path:
- Defeat Apollo once.
- Start a new run.
- Build up your Faith Bar before fighting Apollo on this new run.
- This is crucial—your Faith determines your progression beyond Apollo’s floor.
- Tip: Grab the Faith pedestal right before the Apollo fight to maximize your chances of reaching Eris.
- If done correctly, you’ll be sent to a new floor where Eris awaits.
DARK ERIS – GODDESS OF PSYCHEDELIA
Ready for a twist? Dark Eris is an alternate boss with a slightly more complex setup.
To face her:
- You must have already defeated Eris at least once.
- Unlock the Psychedelism Faith Bar from the bar/HUB area.
- During your run:
- Fill the Psychedelism Faith Bar.
- Look for a butterfly holding the Acid Token.
- Pick up the Acid Token before reaching the Eris floor.
- Watch out: There are hostile butterflies, so come prepared with plenty of health.
- Again, make sure you have a Faith bar active before Apollo to unlock Eris’s floor.
If all conditions are met, you’ll encounter Dark Eris instead of the standard Eris.
HYPERION – GOD OF ENTERTAINMENT
Hyperion sits at the very top of the late-game boss ladder.
Requirements:
- Defeat Dark Eris at least once.
- In a new run:
- You must face regular Eris, not Dark Eris.
- If you encounter Dark Eris again, the run ends after her—Hyperion won’t spawn.
- Make sure to have a Faith bar active when entering the Apollo fight, as usual, to access Eris’s floor.
If you manage to meet all these conditions and go through regular Eris, Hyperion will be waiting on the next level.
