feature one of Hades 2 soot

A Unique, One-Time Quest Item

Hades 2 Soot is not a farmable resource. It's a special item you can only get once per save file, specifically for waking Hypnos. Don't waste time looking for it in random encounters or expecting it to drop.

The Final Ingredient to Wake Hypnos

Soot is the key component for the 'End to Dumbest Slumber' incantation. Without this specific piece of Hades 2 Soot, you cannot complete Hypnos's storyline or fulfill the 'Soundest of Sleepers' prophecy.

Strictly a Post-Game Material

Crucially, you cannot obtain Hades 2 Soot until you have beaten the final boss, Chronos, and seen the credits. It is a reward that only becomes available after you complete the main narrative of the game.

How to Get Hades 2 Soot: The 3-Step Process

Step 1

Step 1: Beat the Game & Reach Tartarus. You must defeat Chronos first. Then, begin a new escape attempt and fight your way to Tartarus, the final biome, before the boss.

Step 2

Step 2: Find Hades' Special Room. In Tartarus, look for a unique character room (marked with a hand icon). Hades may now appear here. Note: It might take a few runs for his room to spawn.

Step 3

Step 3: Gift Nectar to Hades. Once you find your father, simply interact with him and offer one bottle of Nectar. In return, he will give you the single piece of Hades 2 Soot.

FAQ - Your Hades 2 Soot Questions Answered

What is the primary use of Hades 2 Soot?

Hades 2 Soot has only one purpose: it is the essential ingredient for the 'End to Dumbest Slumber' incantation. This is the final ritual needed to wake Hypnos from his deep sleep at the Crossroads and complete his personal quest.

I'm not done with the story. Can I get Hades 2 Soot?

No. The ability to acquire Hades 2 Soot is strictly locked until after you have successfully defeated Chronos for the first time and the main story credits have rolled. It is an endgame-only item and cannot be found before then.

Where exactly is the room to get Hades 2 Soot?

The room appears in Tartarus, the last area before the final boss. On the screen where you choose your path, look for a door marked with a white hand and a dialogue bubble. This signals a non-hostile character room where Hades may now appear.

I found Hades, but I didn't get the Soot. Why?

You must give him a gift. Make sure you have at least one Nectar in your inventory. When you interact with Hades in his Tartarus room, you will have the option to gift it to him. He gives you the Hades 2 Soot immediately after.

Is Hades' room guaranteed to appear on my first post-game run?

No, it is not guaranteed. The room's appearance is based on random chance (RNG), similar to other character rooms. If you don't see it on your first run through Tartarus post-credits, simply complete the run and try again. It will eventually appear.

What rewards do I get for using the Hades 2 Soot?

Using the Hades 2 Soot to complete the incantation finally wakes Hypnos. This progresses his story, completes a major prophecy ('Soundest of Sleepers'), and rewards you with two Nightmare, a valuable endgame crafting material for weapon aspects.

What other materials are needed with the Soot?

To cast the 'End to Dumbest Slumber' incantation, you will need the 1 Hades 2 Soot, 2 Poppy flowers (grown from seeds found in Tartarus), and 1 Shaderot (a ghostly plant also found exclusively in Tartarus).

Is it possible to miss my chance to get Hades 2 Soot?

No, you cannot permanently miss it. Once you have beaten the game, the event to get Hades 2 Soot is unlocked forever. It is simply a matter of having his room spawn in Tartarus, which will happen eventually as you continue to play.
