You must reach the depths of Tartarus to find poppy seeds in Hades 2

Gathering Hades 2 Poppy Seeds is essential to growing Poppies back in the Crossroads, but you need to reach the final Underworld layer to have a chance of digging them up. It makes getting these flowers a massive pain in Hades 2 and a slow process, particularly as you need quite a few to unlock the Argent Skull’s best Aspect and more. So, to help you dig up Poppy Seeds that you can grow into Poppies, here’s where you need to go and how you can get more.

Poppy Seeds can only be found in digging spots in Tartarus, which means you’ve got to get through the three previous regions and their Guardian bosses to be in with a chance of finding a digging spot.
However, as with Hades 2 Marble, you can boost your chances of finding a digging spot by avoiding location exits that follow the Express Route (the path marked with numerals) and by choosing Hecuba as your Hades 2 Familiar.
By intentionally delaying your arrival at Charon’s shop before facing Chronos, you’ll enter more chambers and will give yourself more chances of coming across Poppy Seed digging spots. That also means more chances to take damage, so only do this if you’re confident in your ability and build. Meanwhile, Hecuba’s perk makes digging spots more likely to occur in all regions, helping you gather more Poppy Seeds and maybe even get multiple in a single run to take back to the Crossroads.
Once you eventually get a Poppy Seed, treat it like any other seed and plant it in the Crossroads garden by Odysseus. The major downside is that they take a whopping 41 encounters for it to grow into just one Poppy (that’s basically one entire run). The painful thing is you’ll need five Poppies to unlock the Aspect of Persephone, which is the best Hades 2 Aspect for the Argent Skull, and you’ll need even more for a few upgrades and Incantations.
As well as helping you get Poppy Seeds, Hecuba can also make it easier to get Hades 2 Thalamus, and if you’re running the Surface path she’ll help you get Hades 2 Mandrake Root too.

“The game is the design document”: Hades 2 devs don’t have “long, elaborate” plans that “lay out the future of the things we’re making” because Supergiant is “a heavily iterative studio”

GAME REVIEWS
MOVIE REVIEWS
Ghost of Yotei review: “One of the first PS5 games to feel truly boundary-pushing, this hyper violent samurai revenge quest truly hooked me”
Hades 2 review: “Impeccable combat and flawless characterization across a huge roster make for a follow-up that surpasses even its excellent roguelike predecessor”
EA FC 26 review: “Ultimate Team’s huge, divisive changes have me torn – FIFA’s successor has moved away from serving football purists”
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles review: “Fantastic tweaks elevate a classic while leaving its spirit intact – this seminal tactical RPG has never been better”
Baby Steps review: “If you craved a tougher hiking challenge than Death Stranding, this is for you – though prepare to get dropped from many great heights”
One Battle After Another review: “One of the best studio movies in years and an instant classic”
The Conjuring: Last Rites review: “Not bold or memorable enough for the Warrens’ final chapter”

The Long Walk review: “One of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made”
Frankenstein review: “A classy, if somewhat safe, adaptation”
Marvel Zombies review: “A fun expansion of the What If episode with delightful MCU Easter eggs and truly gross R-rated kills”
Gen V season 2 review: “As strong as the first season, if not stronger”
Wednesday season 2 part 2 review: “Ortega shines, but it’s a zombie who steals the entire show”
Peacemaker season 2 review: “Darker and sadder than the first year, but there’s still a lot of fun to be had with the 11th Street Kids.”
Wednesday season 2 part 1 review: “Complex and exciting but weighed down by too many subplots”
