How to Get Garlic in Hades 2

Garlic is one of the most innocuous and normal-sounding resources in Hades 2. That’s why it’s hard to imagine that you’ll find it in one of the hellish biomes below the Crossroads. However, its location makes plenty of sense. So today, we’ll go over how to find Garlic in Hades 2.

Yes, like many other plant resources, Garlic is also a plant that needs to be grown. This means that you need to find Garlic Seeds before growing Garlic. If you’re on the hunt for Garlic, then look no further than the City of Ephyra.

All you need to do is head to Ephyra with your trusty Silver Spade by your side and get to clearing the rooms. The rooms all have a chance of containing a Digging Spot. If you’re looking to get Garlic Cloves very early, you can try going for suicide runs without completing the ‘Unravelling a Fateful Bond’ Incantation.

Interact with this Digging Spot, and you will be rewarded with one Garlic Clove for each pit, and more if you have upgraded your Spade or have a Boon that increases this amount.
