Growing Hades 2 Mandrake Roots from Mandrake Seeds will help you cast several incantations, but you need to reach the Rift of Thessaly first. It can be a tricky region to get through as you teleport between decrepit ships and small isles in between, but it’s the only place you can get these important seeds inHades 2. You’ll want to keep an eye out for them too, as the incantations the roots are needed for unlock things like Shrines of Hermes, Warding Circles, and Infernal Troves, so here’s everything you need to know about Mandrakes in Hades 2.
Where to find Hades 2 Mandrake Seeds to grow Mandrake Root
Mandrake Root in Hades 2 is a greenery item that can begrown in the Crossroads soil plots by planting Mandrake Seeds, taking 17 cycles to become harvestable.To get the necessary seeds, you need to finddigging spots in the Rift of Thessalywhere you can use the Silver Spade to unearth these grubby-looking bulbs. This obviously means you need to knowhow to reach the Surface in Hades 2, as the Rift, and therefore Mandrake Seeds, can only be reached on the Surface path. If you make it all the way to Mount Olympus, you might even be able to getHades 2 Adamant.

Prior to starting a Surface run, make sure you’ve got the Silver Spade selected as your priority tool in the Crossroads training grounds as this will increase the chances of digging spots appearing across all regions you enter. Although, be warned that I’ve found the Rift of Thessaly can be quite stingy with its offerings, so you might not get many Mandrake Seeds per run.
You’ll find that Mandrake Roots in Hades 2 are required for several cauldron incantations later in the game, all of which are quite handy:
