How to get Hades 2 Darkness
How do you get Darkness in Hades 2? There are many things you need to juggle in Hades 2 if you want to get powerful enough to topple time itself. There are a multitude of ingredients to gather, seeds to plant, and weapons to upgrade. One thing that is vital to a strong run is a potent combination of Arcana Cards, and if you're hoping to get those as strong as possible, you'll need Darkness.
With the Hades 2 early access in full swing, players are delving ever deeper in the hopes of spoiling Chronos' fun. With the help of Hades 2 gods, and maybe even a little nudge from the Hades 2 familiars, people are finding a lot of success in their runs. One thing that is important to collect to become an overpowered demi-god is Darkness. Here's where to find it.

Early Access Update & First Patch Plan
Thanks so much to everyone who's taken the time to play Hades II in Early Access so far! We've been delving into all your impressions and feedback, and we're very excited to move forward in this new phase of development. In this post, we wanted to share our short-term plans.
[h2]We're Focused on a Smooth Play Experience[/h2]
Following our launch, we've deployed several small hotfixes that alleviated rare crashes and progression bugs. We typically don't provide patch notes for small technical hotfixes such as this, though they help us make sure we're building on a solid foundation. We are continuing to watch for error reports closely.
[h2]We're Gathering Feedback and Data[/h2]
Impressions posted here on Steam, our official Discord, and beyond are letting us gauge how everyone's feeling about the game and how that aligns with our goals. With the help of our translators, we're getting feedback from players all over the world! We're also collecting anonymous gameplay data voluntarily submitted by players, which helps us identify opportunities to improve the balance of Boons, weapons, foes, and so on. This is an ongoing process that's just getting started.
[h2]Our First Patch is In the Works![/h2]
Our first patch should be coming later this month, though note we don't have a more-specific timeline. With it, we're looking for improvements we can make in the near term, in a way that makes Hades II better for everyone and come closer to realizing our goals. For example:
Our first patch will likely have a few other enhancements and fixes, and we'll have comprehensive patch notes when the time comes. So stay tuned!
[h2]We're Considering Our First Balance Changes[/h2]
If you were with us for the Early Access development of the original game, you know we love making balance changes! We're always looking for opportunities to make the content and choices in the game as interesting as we can. However, we're still gathering feedback and data that helps inform the kind of changes we like to make, so don't expect too many such changes just yet.
[h2]Thank You For Your Support![/h2]
We will likely have at least one more patch after our first, to make additional improvements and fixes in the short term. From there, we will focus on the development of our first Major Update planned for some months from now, which will contain various new features and content.
Early Access has already been incredibly instructive to us about ways in which we might make Hades II the best it can be. We really appreciate you playing and taking the time to share your impressions with us! Death to Chronos!

- Resource Gathering: We want Hades II players to focus on goals that are important to them, though don't want resource gathering to feel too frustrating, such as if you didn't bring the right gathering tool along for the ride.
- Getting Around: It's important to us that Melinoë have her own distinct style, and for players to be able to navigate her battles and other interactions in a nimble, responsive, expressive way. We have ideas for how to improve her Dash and Sprint.
Our first patch will likely have a few other enhancements and fixes, and we'll have comprehensive patch notes when the time comes. So stay tuned!

All Hades 2 familiars
What are the Hades 2 familiars? Taking down Time itself is a grueling task. Chronos has wronged you, your family, and pretty much everyone you know, and it's up to you to take him down. A helping hand never goes amiss, however, and while you get your fair share of boons from the gods, having someone by your side in your battles can be the difference between life and death.
The Hades 2 early access release is here, and it's superb. We have a Hades 2 review here if you want to know our in-depth thoughts, but if you had even a passing interest in the first roguelike game, you'll love this one. Melinoë can partner with a host of familiars in Hades 2 as she attempts to save the afterlife and bring back what was taken from her. Here's what those familiars are, and how to get them.

Where to get Wheat in Hades 2
Where can you find Wheat in Hades 2? Wheat is a fairly common resource you can harvest in Hades 2. You can find it in the open area, the Mourning Fields, but there are a few steps to follow to grow the seeds and produce Wheat.
Wheat in Hades 2 has a few uses; it comes in handy to upgrade your gardening plot by adding two new slots to your garden. It's main use, however, is to buff your Animal Familiars using an incantation, so when they've rested in the Training Grounds, so you can harvest more ingredients, to craft further Hades 2 incantations!
