Hades 2: How to Get and Use Poppy?

Poppy is a valuable resource in Hades 2, used to create powerful Aspects and Incantations. But getting Poppy requires you to venture into the depths of the Underworld and overcome various challenges including several bosses. Here’s a guide on how to get and use Poppy in Hades 2.

How to Get Poppy Seeds?

To begin your quest for Poppy, you must first obtain Poppy seeds. These seeds can be found in Tartarus, the fourth and final region of the underworld. However, reaching Tartarus is no easy feat and requires you to defeat several challenging bosses along the way:

1. Hecate in Erebus

2. Scylla and the Sirens in Oceanus

3. Cerberus in The Fields of Mourning

After defeating Cerberus, you will gain access to Tartarus, where you can find Poppy seeds in digging spots. To dig up these seeds, you will need a Silver Spade, which can be crafted at the Crossroads' Cauldron using the Night’s Craftwork Incantation and 10x Silver.

Planting and Harvesting Poppy

Once you have acquired Poppy seeds, return to the Crossroads and plant them in the Soil Plots using the Flourishing Soil Incantation. It will take several encounters before the seeds are fully grown and ready for harvesting. It's important to note that Poppy is one of the more challenging resources to obtain and requires patience and persistence.

Using Poppy Seeds

Poppy is a crucial ingredient for crafting powerful items in Hades 2. Two notable uses of Poppy are:

1. Weapon Aspect of Persephone (Argent Skull): This Aspect enhances your attacks, generating Glory which enhances your Omega Special. To craft this Aspect, you will need one Moss and five Poppy.

2. Insight Into Offerings Incantation: This Incantation provides a detailed list of all available Boon and Duo Boon in the Book of Shadows. To perform this Incantation, you will need two Ambrosia, two Poppy, and one Golden Apple.

Poppy is a scarce and valuable resource in Hades 2, requiring effort and strategy to acquire. However, its benefits in crafting powerful items make it a worthwhile endeavor for players. By following these guidelines, you can efficiently get and use Poppy to your advantage in Hades 2.
