The underworld in Hades 2 is full of not only different enemies but also resources that Melinoe must collect. And while some look useful, others may seem less important, such as Rubbish. Therefore, in this guide, we will tell you how to get and use Rubbish in Hades 2.

As with other reagents, you will need Rubbish to unlock some Incantations. To get it, you'll have to clean up the Crossroads a little.

Hades 2: What To Unlock First

There are a lot of useful items and new features in Hades 2 – these are the five you should focus on unlocking first.

How to Get Rubbish in Hades 2

Foremost, it is worth noting that players cannot find Rubbish in the Underworld or on the surface. Also, this resource is not available in the early stages of the game. Therefore, to get Rubbish in Hades 2, you must first meet with Eris and then clean up after her.

Eris represents the strife personification in Hades 2, so she is more than happy with the current situation between the titan of time and the gods of Olympus. Plus, she is not the cleanest type. However, Eris will not be available to you at the beginning of the game. Therefore, you have to progress in your descent into Tartarus and, after each death, visit the location to the left of the Fated List of Minor Prophecies in the Crossroads.

One day, you will find Eris there, littering right in front of your eyes. Then, pick up Rubbish and it will be added to your inventory in Hades 2. After several runs, you will be able to collect quite a lot of this resource.

Hades 2: How to Use Rubbish

As we said earlier, you will need Rubbish for the recipe in the cauldron at the crossroads in Hades 2. This reagent is necessary for one extremely useful Incantation called Summoning a Colony of Bats. With it, you can interact with bat cages in the City of Ephyra and look around the entire area, searching for the most useful rooms for you. More specifically, for this Incantations, you will need 3 Rubbish and 3 Moss, which can also be found in the City of Ephyra.

At the time of writing, this is the only recipe that requires Rubbish in Hades 2. However, the game is at the early access stage, so the developers will probably add more recipes. Therefore, we are going to update this guide as new ways to use Rubbish appear in the game.
