Hades 2: How To Get Poppy

In Hades 2, Melinoë's quest to vanquish Chronos involves more than just combat; resource gathering is crucial for upgrading abilities and equipment. Collecting seeds, particularly Poppy Seeds, is vital for enhancing weapons, magic, and unlocking new tools to aid allies. This guide details Poppy Seed acquisition and cultivation. Note that as Hades 2 is in Early Access, details may be subject to change.

Obtaining and Cultivating Poppy

Poppy is cultivated in Soil Plots located in the Crossroads using Poppy Seeds harvested from Tartarus. Finding these Digging Spots is random, but using the Silver Spade or Hecuba (Hecate's loaned hound familiar) significantly increases your chances. An upgraded Hecuba, enhanced with the Witch's Delight, possesses the "Earth Bond" ability, further boosting the appearance of Digging Spots.

Locating Poppy Seeds

Poppy Seeds are exclusive to Tartarus. The Silver Spade, unlocked via Night's Craftwork after collecting ten Silver (easily obtained in Erebus with the Silver Pick), is essential for harvesting them. Equipping the Silver Spade increases Digging Spot spawn rates. The Reagent Sensing incantation (one Moly after gathering five Silver) highlights nearby resources. Hecuba effectively replaces the Silver Spade, automatically collecting seeds.

Recruiting Hecuba requires having Frinos, Toula, and Raki in your party.

Once collected, plant the Poppy Seeds in the Crossroads.

Growing Poppy

Soil Plots are created using incantations: Flourishing Soil (one Moly after six Moly collected) creates two plots; Rich Soil (three Lotus after growing Nightshade and Cattail) adds two more; and Verdant Soil (one Garlic and one Wheat after having Rich Soil) creates the final two. Poppy takes 21 time units (rooms traversed) to grow. Time also progresses in areas like the Hot Springs or Fishing Docks.

Utilizing Poppy

Poppy is a key ingredient in several incantations and weapon upgrades:

Use	Effect	Ingredients
End to Deepest Slumber Incantation	Crafts Dream Vapors to awaken Hypnos.	1 Moly, 2 Mandrake, 3 Poppy
Insight Into Offerings Incantation	Reveals Olympian Boon information in the Book of Shadows.	2 Ambrosia, 1 Golden Apple, 2 Poppy
Summoning of Personal Insights Incantation	Summons the Record Keeper to the Crossroads.	2 Poppy, 2 Shaderot
Argent Skull's Aspect of Persephone	Unlocks the Aspect of Persephone for the Argent Skull weapon.	5 Poppy, 1 Moss

Note: Some incantations require prior task completion (e.g., gifting

to Olympians for Insight Into Offerings). Summoning of Personal Insights unlocks after completing other incantations and defeating Chronos.

Remember, your journey through Tartarus to confront Chronos provides ample opportunities to gather Poppy Seeds.Nectar
