How to get Thalamus in Hades 2

It's arguably a plant.

After removing the wards preventing you from reaching the surface world, you can now breathe the fresh air. Except, you can’t. At least not yet. You have to complete an incantation to keep you alive on the surface, and for that, you need to find Thalamus in Hades 2.

To get Thalamus in Hades 2, you must grow it by planting and growing Origin Seeds. Yes, Thalamus is technically a plant (I guess?), which means you’ll have to first get the right tool to unearth seeds, and also complete an incantation needed to create plots of soil in the Crossroads. It seems easy enough, but getting the seeds may be tricky.

Hades 2: How to get Thalamus seeds

Thalamus is grown from Origin Seeds, which can be unearthed in the Chaos realm of Hades 2 using a Silver Spade tool. You can unlock the Silver Spade by spending 10 Silver at the Silver Pool in the Crossroads Training Grounds. You’ll need to use the Crescent Pick and find the Silver Ore in the first Region of Erebus.

To grow seeds, you’ll need to obtain and cast the incantation ‘Flourishing Soil’. If you don’t have it, keep progressing in the game until it appears in the Incantation menu when accessing the cauldron at the Crossroads.

Now, for the hard part: Getting the seeds. The Chaos realm appears randomly in Hades 2. You’ll need to keep playing until you see the portal appear on the floor and be prepared to spend some life to enter. It’s also completely random if Chaos contains a Digging Spot, so you’ll have to keep trying until you manage to achieve both.

In my recollection, however, the Primordial Chaos provided me with Origin Seeds for free. It happened after I spoke with them following me getting the ‘Unraveling a Fateful Bond’ incantation, which is needed to remove Melinoë’s curse. You may be just as fortunate.
