Cinder inHades 2is one of the reagents that players can obtain by killing enemies. It will be useful to you for upgrading fire incantations, and also unlocking Umbral Flames weapons. Cinder can only be found in one place, and in this guide, we’ll break down how you can obtain and use it inHades 2.
Hades 2: How to Get Cinder
Cinder can be compared toTitan’s Blood, which dropped from bosses once for each weapon in the originalHades. But in the case of Cinder, you won’t have to spend that much time farming it.More precisely, to get Cinder inHades 2,you need to kill Hecate, the Guardian of Erebus.
She is the boss of the first biome, so you will have to deal with her quite often. Thankfully, she is one of the easiestHades 2bosses. It’s also important to note thatCinder only drops from this boss.
So, to farm this reagent, you need to defeat Hecate and then return to camp. Luckily, you don’t have to do this with a new weapon every time. The boss drops Cinder even if you defeat her with the same weapon several times in a row. Therefore, just choose what you like best and head to the Guardian of Erebus.
What Is Cinder Used for in Hades 2?
You will need 3 Cinder and 3 Silver to unlock Umbral Flames inHades 2. These are two staves that shoot fire projectiles at a decent distance. Their disadvantage is their rather low attack speed, so you’ll have to keep your distance from your enemies. The weapon is great for a ranged build but takes a lot of time to get used to compared to other options.
Additionally, players will want to collect Cinder to upgrade the Aspect of Melinoe of the Umbral Flames. This Aspect increases the duration of Omega Special, which plays an important role in battles. To reach Rank 4 in Aspect of Melinoe, you will need a total of 9 Cinder and 9 Silver.
