Where to get Thalamus in Hades 2
Thalamus can only be grown from Origin Seeds in Hades 2.Origin Seeds are special seeds which can only be found inChaos, a realm you can access via Chaos Gates in the ground.
These Chaos Gates are circular and feature a multicoloured symbol of two eyes, as you can see in ourHades 2 symbolsguide. They crop up quite frequently in runs through the Underworld, and you must take a small amount of damage to enter through one.
Origin Seeds don’t always appear every time you enter Chaos, but they are fairly commonplace there. What’s more, after acquiring the Permeation of Witching-Wards Incantation and exploring the surface world at least once, at your next meeting Chaos will give you an Origin Seed that you can use to grow your first Thalamus.
Go to Chaos with the Shovel, dig up Origin Seeds, plant them back home, harvest the Thalamus. Rinse, repeat. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Supergiant Games
Once you’ve found some Origin Seeds, you canplant them in your soil plotsback in the Crossroads. If you don’t yet have soil plots unlocked, you must first cast the Flourishing Soil Incantation at your cauldron. It’s a very simple Incantation which only requires 1x Moly, and you should unlock it fairly early on in your playthrough.
How to use Thalamus in Hades 2
Thalamus is a crafting ingredient that is currently only used in a single Incantation:“Unraveling A Fateful Bond”. However, this is an extremely important story Incantation, because it allows Melinoë to resist the frequent damage taken whenever she ventures out onto the surface. Before this Incantation is complete, every foray onto the surface is short-lived, because Melinoë will take steadily increasing amounts of damage until she dies.
The total recipe for the “Unraveling A Fateful Bond” Incantation is:
You can alsosell Thalamus to the Wretched Brokerat the Crossroads in exchange for Bones. Each Thalamus sells for 19x Bones in the third tab of the Wretched Broker’s shop.
