Developers Supergiant Games’ highly-anticipated sequel to their roguelike action role-playing game is finally here, and fans, for valid reasons, want to know how to get bronze in Hades 2. Bronze is one of the rarest crafting materials in the game, and, without our Hades 2: How to get bronze guide, it can take up to 10 or more hours of game time for you to get your hands on it. Why? Well, that’s because this elusive metal can only be found on the surface – an area that is only unlocked after you’ve beaten the first boss, and chatted up several gods.
Now all this may sound difficult, but with our help, you can have all the bronze you want, and start crafting cool new weapons like the mighty Aspect of Melinoë or the Argent Skull Weapon in no time! Here’s everything you need to know about finding bronze in Hades 2.
How to Get Bronze in Hades 2
Before you can figure out how to get bronze in Hades 2, you’ll need to progress through the game and catch the attention of Hermes. After battling your way through numerous challenges, Hermes will request your aid on the surface, accessible through the stairway in The Crossroads.
Once you’ve gained access to the surface, bronze can be found exclusively in or near the city of Ephyra. Keep your eyes peeled for sparkling piles of brownish-yellow metal debris—the telltale sign of bronze. To mine it, you’ll need the Crescent Pick.
