Beyond your usual resources and reagents, you also need to gather plants and seeds throughout the world of Hades 2. They’re used in Incantations, so finding them is a must. Here are all the plants and seeds you can find in Hades 2 and what they are used for.
Most plants are used as materials for Incantations you can cast using the Cauldron in the Crossroads. Some can be gathered by hand, but others must be grown. To grow seeds you find, you must play the game long enough to unlock the ‘Flourishing Soil’ incantation, which gives you two plots of soil in the Crossroads. You should get the incantation not long after gathering Moly, the yellow flower needed for it. Later, you’ll be able to get even more plots for a higher plant yield.
Growing seeds in Hades 2 doesn’t require water or fertilizer, just patience. Every seed will show you just how long it’ll take until they’re fully matured into harvestable plants. The time by something called ‘While’, which indicates how long it will take until the seeds grow. Learn more about While here.
All plants, seeds, and where to find them in Hades 2
Plant seeds in Hades 2 are unearthed by using the Silver Spade tool. Look for plots of soil in each Region to get seeds. You can unearth seeds without taking the Spade on your journey, but you won’t gather as much seed. If you need certain seeds, it’s smart to take the Spade to the respective Region in which they can be found.
