Hades 2: How to Get Wool and Beat Polyphemus

Wool is on of the important resources needed for various crafting recipes and Incantations in Hades 2. However, getting Wool in the game is not as straightforward as farming other materials like Silver. This guide will walk you through the process of getting Wool and defeating the boss who drops it in Hades 2.

How to Get Wool in Hades 2

To get Wool in Hades 2, you must first reach the City of Ephyra on the surface. To do this, follow these steps:

Perform the Permeation of Witching Wards

Unlock and perform the "Permeation of Witching Wards" Incantation. This Incantation requires:

• Cinder x1
• Shadow x1
• Moly x3

Doing this Incantation will destroy the ward guarding the gateway to the surface.

Perform the Unraveling a Fateful Bond

Collect enough Moss and Thalamus from your surface runs to perform the "Unraveling a Fateful Bond" Incantation, which requires:

• Lotus x2
• Moss x2
• Nightshade x2
• Thalamus x2

Journey in the City of Ephyra

Once you have access to the City of Ephyra, you will need to complete the following objectives:

• Locate and destroy the six spirit prisons scattered throughout different locations within the city.
• Clearing these rooms will unlock the path to the boss, Polyphemus.
• Look for the Wool symbol and boss icon, indicating the route to Polyphemus.

How to Defeat Polyphemus in Hades 2

Polyphemus is a strong boss with powerful AoE attacks that can quickly overwhelm unprepared players. When you are finished destroying the six spirit prisons and ready to face Polyphemus, keep these tips in mind:

• Watch out for his jump attack, which creates a damaging shockwave within the arena. Move outside the affected area to avoid taking damage.
• Be prepared for multiple consecutive jump attacks, so you need to anticipate and time your dodges accordingly.
• Prioritize defeating any additional enemies that join the fight before focusing on Polyphemus.
• Most of Polyphemus' attacks are relatively slow, so take advantage of this by timing your dodges precisely.

Upon defeating Polyphemus, he will drop the resource material you are looking for, Wool.
