Where to get Thalamus in Hades 2

Where will you find Thalamus in Hades 2? Thalamus is tough to come by, but it's a vital resource for staying alive in the later stages of the game, as you need to use it for an incantation to breathe on the surface.

Unlike finding Myrtle in Hades 2, Thalamus has a few stages before you can use it, including unlocking harvesting tools at the Silver Pool and using a Hades 2 incantation to plant Origin Seeds. You won't, however, need Thalamus until the later stages of Hades 2, and so far it's only required to perform one incantation at Hecate's cauldron.
