How to survive on the surface in Hades 2: spell and ingredients

IN Hades 2 features a variety of maps and locations, and while most start in Erebus, players can also explore the Surface. If you’ve progressed far enough in the story, you probably know that you can go to the surface and explore individual rooms, fight unique enemies and find valuable materials. But the problem is that the main character cannot stay here for long. In this guide, we’ll tell you how to break the curse and live longer on the surface in Hades 2.

While outside the Underworld, due to a family curse, Melinoe will gradually lose her health until she eventually dies. Add to that the numerous opponents you’ll face, and you’re unlikely to last long. Even some arcana cards designed to restore the heroine’s power reserves will not help her survive here. However, there is an effective way to remove the family curse: create a special spell that allows you to stay on the surface for as long as you want.

If you thought you’d come far enough to unlock the passage to the Surface, we hasten to disappoint you – it was but a small step. As we’ve already noted, you won’t get very far there as long as the heroin is cursed. To counteract the effect of the constant decrease in health and survive on the surface in Hades 2, you will have to make some additional runs on the Surface until Moros appears in front of you. In a dialogue with him, you will learn about the disease and also receive the spell ‘Unraveling Fatal Ties’.

To create the spell “Untangling Fatal Ties”, you will need to obtain many ingredients:

Lotus is easy to find at the location Ocean. Moss collects Surfaces, we could often see him in the starting areas, so even with the curse it won’t be difficult to find him. Nightshades are also very easily available on site Erebus with the help of a silver shovel (you will have to plant the seeds at the intersection and wait for them to germinate, but this is a trifle). But there can be problems with the Thalamus.

To find an ingredient Thalamus, you will have to spend many hours in the dungeon before you get the chance to face the Gates of Chaos. You will have to enter through them and face the Chaos yourself. It is recommended to equip the Silver Shovel in advance and stock up on Nectar, which is needed as a gift to Chaos to increase the loyalty level. This is important because encounters with Chaos Gates are extremely rare, and increasing Chaos loyalty increases your chances of finding one.

Continue visiting the Realm of Chaos until Moros is mentioned in your conversation. At this point, Chaos will give you unique Chaos Seeds. In the future, every time you visit the Gate, you can collect these seeds from a specific location using a shovel.

Then plant the seeds in the ground at Crossroads and wait for them to germinate. If you already have all the necessary ingredients, all you need to do is create a spell that will rid Melinoe of the disease and allow you to move around the surface without any restrictions.
