Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into Hades 2 lately, and let me tell you, getting Z Sand – or Zodiac Sand – is a whole thing. I spent a good chunk of time scratching my head, trying to figure out how to get my hands on this stuff. So, I started by just playing the game, you know, progressing naturally. I beat Chronos a few times, thinking maybe that was it. Nope, not that easy.
My Steps to Farming that Z Sand
Then I started thinking about the incantations. I’d unlocked a bunch at the cauldron, and I remembered seeing something about gathering special resources. So, I double-checked and found the “Greater Favor of Gaia” incantation. Turns out, that was the key!

Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- First, I made sure I had that “Greater Favor of Gaia” incantation brewed. If you haven’t unlocked it, keep doing runs and talking to the gods – it’ll pop up eventually. You need some gods, need some fates, need some ashes.
- I started hunting for those special gathering spots that show up after you beat a Guardian in the Rift of Thessaly. You know, those glowing spots that give you a choice of resources? I got lucky.
- Once the incantation is active, I started going to the Rift of Thessaly.
- I then needed to beat the Guardian there. After that I got a couple options, and among those, I had to choose one, which will give me some of that Z Sand.
It took some time, and I got lucky, Finally, I selected a spot, and boom – Zodiac Sand! I felt like I’d cracked the code, haha. I kept repeating those steps.
Honestly, it took a few runs to get the hang of it, and to encounter the location, but once I knew what to look for, it became a lot easier to farm that Z Sand. Now I can finally upgrade those aspects and really kick some Underworld butt! Keep grinding, keep experimenting, and you’ll get there!
