Quick Links
Hades 2has tons of different resources to gather, each used for helpful items that make you stronger in between trips into the underworld. Getting your hands on these resources can be difficult, but not impossible.
Pearls are a somewhat rare resource that can only be obtained through a single source. However, they are used for a variety of Incantations and Arcana unlocks, making them essential for progression. Below, we’ll detail exactly how to get Pearls in Hades 2.
Hades 2 is currently in Early Access, so the information in this guide is subject to change as development progresses.

How To Make It Through Oceanus
Before you can fight Scylla and the Sirens, you’ll need to make it through Oceanus. This area is quite different from Erebus, posing a higher threat through different enemies and environmental traps.
Compared to Erebus, the main thing you’ll want to be mindful of as you explore Oceanus are theenvironmental trapsthat appear in most locations. You’ll frequently come across largebronze steam boilersthat willexplode if they are hitenough times, dealing high damage in the area before leaking steam, which deals damage over time.
Additionally, the enemies you face in Oceanus are muchmore aggressivethan Erebus. Fish-like enemies will attack relentlessly, meaning you’ll have to quickly shift your focus from defending to attacking when the time is right.
In Oceanus, you may come across rooms with exits that need to beunsealedfirst. Attempting to unseal one of these exits will force you tobattle another round of enemies, but you’ll get the chance at a different reward in the next room!
Finally, at the end of Oceanus, you’ll have to defeatScylla and the Sirensbefore you can claim your Pearl. We have a detailed guide to this fight linked above, but in general, your strategy should be tofocus on Roxy the drummer first, then Jetty the guitarist, and finally Scylla herself. Defeat the Sirens to get your Pearl!
