All Reagents in Hades 2 And How to Get Them

Players need to gather reagents during each run to cast their spells to unlock new abilities and progress through the underworld in Hades 2. Here is a list of all the reagents in Hades 2 and how to get them.

What Are Reagents in Hades 2?

In Hades 2, you step into the role of the young witch and princess of the Underworld, Melinoe. As part of her witchy ways, she uses a massive cauldron to cast incantations. These spells have helpful effects that will make it easier to survive your nightly adventures or even unlock new areas of the game. All incantations require ingredients known as reagents.

These reagents can be acquired using specialized tools or as rewards for defeating enemies in a particular area. You won’t find certain ingredients until you’ve reached further depths or unlocked the seal to the Surface, so it’s helpful to know when and where you’ll encounter these components. Some also require equipping a specific tool before you head out for the night; otherwise, you won’t be able to harvest them.
