Hades 2is a fine sequel to the breakout hit that was the original, and this one comes with far more bells and whistles. And by bells and whistles, we mean resources to collect for use in various recipes, whether crafting or incanting. While many require specific tools to collect, others can be found lying in wait, ready to be picked up with bare hands.

Moly is one such resource. This plant is used in many early-game (and late-game!) recipes and serves as your primary source of progression unlocks over the first few hours of the game.

How To Find Moly

Moly is aplant that grows in Erebus, which is the first region of the path to the underworld. It’s not guaranteed to spawn, but it will turn up sooner or later if you’re looking out for it.

Moly appears as a small plant thatglows with blue sparkles. In case you have trouble finding it still, you’re able to cast theReagent Sensingincantation at the cauldron back at the Crossroads, which will give you a silver trail towards any resources after an encounter ends. Ironically enough, this (and many other starter incantations) requires one Moly to cast.

Despite being a plant, Moly cannot be grown at the Soil Patches that you may unlock at the Crossroads, and neither can you sell it to the Wretched Broker as you can with most other plants.
