This article provides a comprehensive overview of Iris in Hades 2, along with effective strategies for obtaining it.
Where to find Iris in Hades 2
Mount Olympus is the latest region in the game that came with The Olympic Update free expansion in Hades 2. Furthermore, it's the only place where you can find Iris in Hades 2. To reach Mount Olympus, you must go through the following path:
- Firstly, ensure you have the latest The Olympic Update installed in Hades 2.
- Navigate to the Surface.
- Clear the City of Ephyra region by defeating The Cyclops Polyphemus (final boss).
- Complete the Rift of Thessaly region by defeating Eris (final boss).
Upon achieving victory over Eris, you can access the Mount Olympus region. This area contains numerous chambers inhabited by a variety of formidable foes. Additionally, within these chambers, you can expect to discover at least one or two Iris flowers during each run.
However, there is no specific chamber where you can reliably locate the Iris flowers. You must go through all of the chambers and search thoroughly. Notably, utilizing the incantation of Observance of Gaia’s Secret can enhance the likelihood of discovering these flowers.
