The Fated List of Minor Prophecies is a piece of furniture for Zagreus's room which offers the player rewards in return for Zagreus helping to complete the Fates' various designs, with a total of 55 tasks that unlock as the game and storyline progress. Zeus can work pretty well too. I really love getting him in the pool with Aphrodite, since Smouldering Air with Zeus's call is epic regardless of weapon, and his boons for improving the lightning strikes are all good. See full list on ign. Those three Gods profit highly from Duos and stacking up synergies within their own pool of Boons, contrary to say Artemis, Aphrodite or Demeter, which have an incentive to look for Chaos boons, or Hermes boons. Other Zeus Boons can empower the lightning strikes, adding more damage, increasing the affected area, and even a chance to strike twice.
