Before leaving the Crossroads for a surface run, make sure to prioritizeHades 2’sSilver Spade.This will ensure that you see Seed Mounds on your climb to the top of Mount Olympus.
Olive Branchesare one of severalnew itemsthat players will find on Mount Olympus, the region added throughHades 2’s Olympic Update. Using theSilver Spade,players must dig up Olive Branches from the typical mounds that contain seeds.
These mounds will always containOlive Brancheson Mount Olympus. New players will want to look for small patches of bare earth, sparking with a small flicker of light. When you claim a chamber’s reward, verify to listen for the audio cue that alerts Melinoe to any resources in the chamber, as seed mounds are easier to miss than most.
How to Reach Mount Olympus:
New players unsure of how to reachMount Olympusmust first progress throughHades 2’searly sections, eventually unlocking the ‘Unraveling a Fateful Bond’ incantation at theCauldron. This will allow you to begin surface runs whenever you want. Mount Olympus is the third surface region, after theCity of Ephyraand theRift of Thessaly.
How to Get Olives in Hades 2
Once you have collectedOlive BranchesfromMount Olympus, you will need to return to the garden at the Crossroads to plant them. EachOlive Treewill take24 encountersto grow, and will produceone Olivefor Melinoe.
Most players will think of completing Encounters as completing each chamber you encounter on a run. This is true, but it is not the only way to tick off Encounters at the Cauldron or Garden. Special interactions with characters, such as visiting the Hot Springs or Fishing, will all take time. Check each character at the Crossroads to see if they are available for these encounters. CompletingChaos Trialsat thePitch-Black Stonewill also pass time.
