In the early stages of your journey in Hades 2, the new roguelite action title from Supergiant Games, you will be introduced to the cauldron. Now the cauldron is not just a place you can craft incantations to do a variety of things, but you will also be able to access the shop, summon allies and also grow your crops. You will find the Cauldron at the first part of the crossroads, and past Melinoë’s room and also past the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. Headmistress Hecate will be stationed behind the cauldron.
