Many players have reported that the “Natural Talent” Steam Achievement (for completing the Natural Talent prophecy) does not trigger, even after meeting all the apparent requirements.

This issue is tied to the Minor Prophecy in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies that’s supposed to appear after your first encounter with Hecate but for some players like myself, it never shows up at all.

This bug usually occurs if you defeated Hecate on your very first run.

Doing so seems to break the trigger for adding the prophecy to your list, meaning the achievement becomes permanently unobtainable until you manually fix the trigger in the game’s script files.

How to Fix the Missing Natural Talent Prophecy

Disclaimer: This involves editing one of the game’s local script files. Make a backup before changing anything.

Step 1: Locate Your Game Folder

In your Steam Library, right-click Hades II → Manage → Browse local files.

Go to this directory:

Steam\steamapps\common\Hades II\Content\Scripts

Step 2: Open the Script File

Find and open QuestData.lua using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++).

Step 3: Find the Hecate Quest Section by searching for: QuestBeatHecate
Under that section, look for this part:
{
Path = { "GameState", "TextLinesRecord" },
HasAny = { "HecateBossFirstAppearance", "HecateBossFirstAppearanceAlt" },
},

Replace it with this code instead:

{
PathTrue = { "GameState", "TextLinesRecord", "HecateBossFirstAppearance" },
},


Step 4: Save the file. Go in-game and trigger the fix

Once you’ve saved the edit, play Hades II and re-trigger the event by fighting Hecate. Try dying to her and see if that triggers her speech the next time you face her while having Arcanas. Once she mentions Arcanas, that should add the Natural Talent prophecy to the Fated List.

After completing it, the Steam Achievement will unlock as intended. By the looks of it this has been happening for a while now and hopefully will be fixed oficially by the devs soon.
