Combat is important in Hades 2, but without buffs and power-ups, the fighting can be a challenge. One way to make you stronger and combat easier to handle is by getting Psyche. If you farm Psyche can me you a threat fast, and we’ll show how to do it in Hades 2.
Hades 2: How to farm Psyche
Farming this resource is the same as you’d farm for Bones. Clear stages and enter doorways with the Psyche icon on them. Additionally, you can buy the resource from the Wretched Broker at the Crossroads. He’ll be south of the cauldron. You can also find mini-checkpoints during each run and collect gold in your runs to spend there. Here you can find health, power-ups, and other things that make your current run easier. I found Psyche at these mini-checkpoints. However, it may not be there every time, so this method won’t be the most consistent way to get Psyche.
What to use Psyche on
Hades 2 has a bunch of different currencies to use on different things. Psyche is used to buy and equip more Arcana. These are buffs that trigger when certain things are happening to you during a run. For example, I have an Acrana card that gives me plus two health each time I enter a door. You can probably imagine how much this changes things for me.
Collecting Psyche as much as you can is a golden rule of Hades 2. Each time you go back and do a run, it might get slightly harder. When you’ve banked a lot of Psyche, there’s more options available to you. The best part is that while everything you have on you goes away when you die, Psyche is one of the things that stays, even in death. If you’re worried in the later stages about losing it upon death, keep that in mind. This should help keep some pressure off.
Psyche can make you deadly over time, but Keepsakes can amplify those attributes.
