Where To Find All Resources And Materials In Hades 2

Hades 2 has so many items for you to amass, that things can get very confusing within a couple of hours. As such, it’s important to ascertain where you need to go and what implements you need to bring. Here’s our guide on where to find all resources and materials in Hades 2. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains spoilers.

Where to find all resources and materials in Hades 2

Our Hades 2 resources and materials guide is organized a certain way. We’ve grouped up certain items based on their location (i.e. Crossroads, dungeon zones, and more). These are even those that are found in the Surface World. Likewise, we have a few sections with items that are part of a certain theme or activity.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that the vast majority of these materials can be collected if you have certain Gathering Tools equipped:

• Crescent Pick – Used to mine ore deposits.
• Silver Spade – Used to dig up dirt mounds to obtain seeds.

These resources are then used for the following mechanics:

• Incantations/Alchemy
• Nocturnal Arms
• Arcana Cards
• Romantic interactions

These resources tend to appear in dungeons. They might be rewards when you clear rooms, or you’d see them being sold by Charon. Some NPCs (i.e. Narcissus) might also hand them to you when you speak with them:

• Bones – Used to purchase materials from the Wretched Broker.
• Ashes – Used to unlock and upgrade Arcana Cards.
• Psyche – Used to increase Grasp points so you can equip more Arcana Cards.
• Nectar – Given as gifts to supporting characters so you can obtain their Keepsakes.
• Obols/gold coins – Used to buy items from shops/wells in the dungeon (i.e. Charon’s or Hermes’).
• Charon’s Shop/Obol Points – Receive one of these for every 1,000 gold you spend on items sold by Charon. You can then use Obol Points to order resources from Charon’s Chest in the Crossroads.

These items are mostly found in the Crossroads. They’re either rewarded when you complete certain objectives, or purchased/ordered from NPCs.

The Wretched Broker sells:

• 1x Ashes for 15x Bones
• 5x Psyche for 30x Bones
• 1x Fate Fabric for 60x Bones
• 1x Moon Dust for 80x Bones
• 1x Star Dust for 800x Bones
• 1x Nightmare for 1,000x Bones
• Note that you can sell the fish you’ve caught to earn Bones, too.

Charon’s Chest, meanwhile, lets you order several materials in exchange for the aforementioned Obol Points. You need to complete encounters until they’re ready to be picked up. These include:

• Ashes
• Psyche
• Fate Fabric
• Moon Dust

The Fated List also has an assortment of resources that you can receive as rewards if you complete objective tallies (i.e. choose all boons from a deity). Lastly, the Rubbish item is dropped by Eris at the Crossroads. You’re bound to see some trash near her spot, which is just behind Moros/the Fated List.

These Hades 2 resources and materials come from the game’s gardening mechanic. Here’s what you need to do:

• Unlock the Silver Spade tool and equip it when you make your dungeon delves.
• If you see a mound of dirt, use the Silver Spade to dig for seedlings.
• Back at the Crossroads, complete these incantations when they become available:
  • Flourishing Soil
  • Rich Soil
  • Verdant Soil
• The above incantations create new plots for your garden, allowing you to plant seeds.
• Each seed requires you to finish a number of encounters in dungeons before they can be harvested.

These are the plants that you can harvest:

• Nightshade – Nighshade Seeds from Erebus.
• Cattail – Cattail Seeds from Oceanus.
• Wheat – Wheat Seeds from the Fields of Mourning.
• Poppy – Poppy Seeds from Tartarus.
• Garlic – Garlic Cloves from the City of Ephyra.
• Mandrake – Mandrake Seeds from the Rifts of Thessaly.
• Thalamus – Origin Seeds from the Realm of Chaos.

These items are the Nectar, Bath Salts, Twin Lures, and Ambrosia. Completing certain incantations unlocks new functions/areas in the Crossroads. You’ll then receive that item, and you may purchase additional stuff from the Wretched Broker.

These items can then be used to improve your relationships with supporting characters. Our character romance guide has all the details.

These battles are sure to test your mettle, and you can learn about each Guardian opponent in our boss fights guide. As far as the loot goes, here are the rewards that you can obtain:

• Erebus: Hecate – Cinder
• Oceanus: Scylla and the Sirens – Pearl
• Fields of Mourning: Cerberus – Tears
• Tartarus: Chronos – Zodiac Sands
• City of Ephyra: Polyphemus – Wool
• Rifts of Thessaly: Eris – Golden Apple

These materials in Hades 2 are found in Erebus, the first region that you visit in the game:

• Flower – Moly
• Ore – Silver
• Seed – Nightshade
• Boss – Cinder

These items are found in Oceanus, the second zone in the Underworld section:

• Flower – Lotus
• Ore – Limestone
• Seed – Cattail
• Boss – Pearl

These items are found in the Fields of Mourning, the third zone in the Underworld section:

• Flower – Myrtle
• Ore – Glassrock
• Seed – Wheat
• Boss – Tears

You have to reach the fourth Underworld zone, Tartarus, to get these materials:

• Flower – Shaderot
• Ore – Marble
• Seed – Poppy
• Boss – Zodiac Sands

To get these Hades 2 materials, you must first complete a convoluted process that lets you survive while on the Surface World. Once you’ve done that, you should be able to explore the City of Ephyra to grab the following:

• Flower – Moss
• Ore – Bronze
• Seed – Garlic
• Boss – Wool

Next up, there’s the Rifts of Thessaly, where you battle foes aboard ships. You can find the following in this zone:

• Flower – Driftwood
• Ore – Iron
• Seed – Mandrake
• Boss – Golden Apple

The Realm of Chaos is a place you’ll stumble upon randomly while exploring dungeons. We’ve got all the details for you in our Primordial Chaos boons guide. As for the items themselves:

• Flower – Darkness (technically a gem but it’s gathered by hand like other flowers)
• Ore – Plasma
• Seed – Origin/Thalamus
• Boss – N/A

Last but not least, there are certain items that can only be obtained by completing late-game activities, which need to be unlocked first. You can refer to our guides below:

• Chaos Trials – Receive Star Dust, which is used to upgrade Arcana Cards.
• Oath of the Unseen – Receive Nightmare, which is used to ugprade weapon aspects.

That does it for our Hades 2 resources and materials guide. We told you there are a lot of items in the sequel. Hopefully, you’ll be able to collect them all so you can unlock new features, items, and functions.
