Bronze in Hades 2 serves as a crucial crafting material for unlocking pivotal upgrades. This guide outlines efficient methods to acquire it during your journey through the Underworld and beyond.
Accessing Surface Realms for Bronze Collection
Bronze becomes obtainable only after reaching the game’s surface areas, requiring progression through specific stages. To bypass the initial barrier, craft the Permeation of Witching-Wards incantation at the Cauldron. This becomes available post-encounter with Hermes, requiring:
- Cinder from defeating Hecate
- Moly flowers from Erebus
- One Shadow (crafted via alchemy using 30 Psyche, 30 Ash, and 3 Fate Fabrics)
After brewing the Shadow and performing the ritual, surface exploration becomes accessible.
Neutralizing Surface Realm Limitations
Melinoë’s underworld origins impose a health-draining Surface Curse during initial visits. Permanent access requires:
- Harvesting Thalamus from Chaos-gifted Origin Seeds
- Using 2 Thalamus, Nightshade, Lotus, and Moss to create the Unraveling a Fateful Bond incantation
Completion removes the curse permanently, enabling extended surface exploration.
Acquiring Bronze in Ephyra
Within the City of Ephyra, bronze deposits appear randomly during encounters. Essential steps include:
- Equipping the Crescent Pick before surface journeys
- Identifying bronze armor clusters (each yields 3 pieces)
