As a roguelike, each run in Hades 2 will feel unique meaning there is no guarantee that a boon will appear twice. This is also the case for the Daedalus Hammer, as it can only be obtained during specific runs in Mel's quest to take down the titan and her grandfather, Chronos, and save her family from his clutches.

Similar to its predecessor, Hades 2 also allows you to buy the Daedalus Hammer from Charon's shop for 200 Gold, although it is heavily dependent on the RNG.
