Mastering resource gathering is crucial in Hades 2, rivaling combat prowess in importance. Exploring the game world and utilizing your tools to collect valuable resources is key to crafting incantations, upgrading arcana cards, and unlocking powerful new weapons and tools for Melinoe.
Melinoe cultivates a garden at the Crossroads, planting seeds that yield essential ingredients for spellcasting and upgrades.
Hades 2 is currently in Early Access, so the following details are subject to change.
*Updated March 8, 2025 by Alexis Campbell**: Revised seed acquisition methods. Included updates from Olympus and War Song patches, encompassing new garden customization options and seed types.*
To utilize the garden, Melinoe must first unlock Soil Plots using incantations:
| Incantation | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Flourishing Soil | 1 Moly |
| Rich Soil | 3 Lotus |
| Verdant Soil | 1 Wheat, 1 Garlic |
Moly and Lotus are Flora resources found in Erebus and Oceanus, respectively. Their spawn rate increases with the late-game familiar, Gale. Wheat and Garlic must be grown in your garden. Each incantation unlocks two additional Soil Plots, for a total of six.
If these incantations are unavailable, continue playing and interact with every character displaying an exclamation mark – particularly Odysseus and Hecate.
Dora, located south of the cauldron, offers Garden Decorations in exchange for Prestige. These purely cosmetic items (such as a Well and Gardening Tools) do not affect plot availability, plant growth times, or yields.
Seed acquisition requires the Silver Spade. Seeds are obtained by:
Soil patch frequency increases with a higher-level Silver Spade and by using the familiar Hecuba (and upgrading her Earth Bond skill).
