You can find Bronze after reaching the surface area of Hades 2. That’s easier said than done, of course. You’ll need to remove wards barring your path, and then figure out how to not die in minutes due to Melinoë’s blood curse. There are, clearly, some steps involved, so let’s get to work.

Hades 2: How to get to the surface and mine Bronze

With the default version of the pick, you’ll get three Bronze per Ore Deposit.

What to do with Bronze in Hades 2

As Bronze is used to unlock and upgrade weapons in Hades 2. Like me, you probably first became aware of it as a needed resource to unlock the fifth weapon in the game, the Argent Skull. Well, rub your chin in perplexity no more, friend; the riddle has been solved. You’ll also need Glassrock for the Skull, which you can find in the Fields of Mourning.
