There are oodles of resources to collect inHades 2, and they only get more difficult to acquire as you get further in the game. While some are hidden behind late-game bosses and extracted using tools from end-game areas, others are a little more mysterious in their origin.
One such resource is Darkness. If you’re a veteran of the first game, you’ll be very familiar with this purple gemstone. In this game, however, it is not nearly as plentiful, and it’ll take some legwork and some luck for Melinoe to gather a big stash of the stuff. She’ll need some, too.
Hades 2 is currently in Early Access. As a result, the details below may change over the course of development.
How To Get Darkness
Darkness is obtained fairly simply—it’spicked up from the realm of Chaos, accessible throughChaos Gatesthat spawn randomly throughout the game. However, you will first need to progress very far in the game (possibly even beating Chronos for the first time) before they will start to spawn.
You’ll know that you’re ready to start gathering Darkness when a conversation with Chaos grants you one for free. From then on, you’ll be able to pick up Darkness from time to time just floating in the air whenever you enter a Chaos Gate.
Some tips for gathering Darkness include:
Other than repeatedly having as many encounters with Chaos as possible, there is little you can do to improve your chances of acquiring Darkness.
