All Reagents, Greeneries, Indulgences and how to get them in Hades 2

From moss to pure darkness, you will need it all.

During your endless runs in Hades 2, you’ll collect resources used to strengthen Melinoë, unlock new abilities, or even grow closer to allies. These items are split up into Reagents, Greeneries, and Indulgences, and managing how to get them all is no easy task.

Unlike the Artifacts you collected with Zagreagus in Hades, Melinoë will gather Reagents, Greeneries, and Indulgences in Hades 2—though they serve essentially the same purpose, just with different names. The way you collect these items, however, does not follow the same structure as you’ll be foraging, mining, battling, and bargaining to get all the resources you need to give Melinoë a boost as you challenge Chronos.

For new challengers or those returning to the depths, here’s a list of all Reagents, Greeneries, and Indulgences in Hades 2, along with what they do, how to get them, and links to longer resources for guides on locations and other key details.

Hades 2: All Reagents, Greeneries, Indulgences, and how to get them

In Hades 2, Reagents, Greeneries, and Indulgences technically replace Artifacts as items you use to help Melinoë grow and progress her journey. Here’s a list of every Reagent you can collect as a resource, with a brief overview of how to obtain them.
