Discover Thalamus and its Purpose in Hades 2

May 09, 2024 12:11 PM

Gamers looking to master Hades 2 will need to familiarize themselves with a vital resource in the game called Thalamus. In recent news, a guide was shared to help players find Thalamus and its uses. Thalamus is essential for surviving the toughest region in the game, and it's linked to a special "deity." To locate Thalamus, players will require Ur-Seeds, which are available exclusively from the Chaos entity after defeating the first boss. Special gates, which can be accessed at a cost to your health or via an offering to Charon, lead to the realm of Chaos where these seeds can be dug up with a Silver Spade.

Once obtained, players must plant the seeds, complete seven levels in a run to harvest Thalamus. Thalamus is then used to cast a spell at the Brewing Kettle, helping players avoid constant damage in the games' Upperworld region and reach Olympus. Moreover, while Thalamus currently has a singular use, hints suggest its application might expand as the Early Access progresses; thus, players are advised to hold onto any surplus.

For those new to Hades 2, an action rogue-like developed and published by Supergiant Games, the game is set in the world of Greek mythology and is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Hades. Hades 2 expands on the roguelike mechanics with a new protagonist and more challenges for players to overcome, as they go deeper into the underworld and beyond to face the divine powers.

Where do I find Thalamus in Hades 2 and why do I need it?

To find Thalamus in Hades 2, you need to collect Ur-Seeds from Chaos’s realm and plant them. After progressing through seven levels, you can harvest Thalamus. Thalamus is necessary for crafting the "Untangling of Fate Threads" spell at the Brewing Kettle, which allows you to survive in the Upperworld without constant damage and ultimately reach Olympus.
