Hades 2 - Crescent Pick

The Crescent Pick allows Melinoe to mine ore deposits in Hades 2. See how to use the Crescent Pick, the resources you can gather with it, and how to equip and unlock it in this guide!

List of Contents

How to Use the Crescent Pick

Mine Ore Deposits With the Crescent Pick

Hades 2 - Collect Minerals with Crescent Pick

The Crescent Pick allows you to collect resources from ore deposits you encounter in each region. To gather, simply walk next to the resource and press the Interact button to start collecting.

We also recommend unlocking the Reagent Sensing incantation so you do not miss out on these ore deposits after a battle!

Once you have crafted the Crescent Pick, you can equip it by locating it in Silver Pool.

Afterwards, press the Interact button on the Crescent Pick, and it will be equipped by Melinoe.

Can Only Bring One Tool per Run

Hades 2 - Cannot Collect Minerals with Tablet of Peace

Similar to Weapons, however, you can only bring one Tool with you per run. Thus, you cannot collect resources that are associated with another Gathering Tool.

Before heading out, select which Tool and Resource you would like to focus on for the run. Your currently equipped Tool will be displayed on the lower right hand corner of the screen.
