Hades 2: How to farm Psyche

Farming this resource is the same as you’d farm for BonesClear 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.

Using Psyche

Hades 2 has a bunch of different currencies. Psyche is used to buy and equip more Arcana. These are buffs that trigger under specific conditions during runs. 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. This should help keep some pressure off. 

Psyche can make you deadly over time, but Keepsakes can amplify those attributes.
