Hades 2 Adamant is required to get the game's final weapon and for several incantations, but you can only find it in Mount Olympus. That means you've got to unlock the Surface path, sever Melinoe's curse, and then make it through the City of Ephyra, the Rift of Thessaly and their respective bosses to be in with a chance of even finding some Adamant. This Hades 2 region also doesn’t mess around, with hordes of heavily armored enemies and even the Olympians’ own automatons trying to stop Melinoe. So, since it's one of the harder materials to get, here's everything you need to know about mining Adamant in Hades 2.

Adamant is a resource found in the third region of the Surface path, Mount Olympus, appearing in outcroppings that can be mined with the Crescent Pick. You should have already learned how to survive on the Surface in Hades 2, but if you haven't cast the 'Unraveling a Fateful Bond' incantation, make sure you do as Adamant will be impossible to get otherwise.

Once you've beaten Eris in Hades 2, you will enter Mount Olympus and need to look for glistening jagged deposits (a bit like Hades 2 Glassrock but more colorful). Selene's Reagent Sensing will guide you to them, but they seem to be quite rare anyway.

My best advice for maximizing your chances of finding Adamant is to avoid choosing the launchpad exit doors that some encounters have. These help you ascend the mountain quickly, avoiding threats and getting you to the Hades 2 Prometheus fight faster, but you'll also have fewer opportunities for Adamant to spawn.

If possible, you should also have Raki the white raven as your active Hades 2 Familiar as he makes outcroppings more likely to appear in any region. Since you've got to tread the Surface path on your quest for Adamant, having Raki around will also help you get Hades 2 Bronze in Ephyra and Hades 2 Iron in the Rift of Thessaly.

The Black Coat is one of the best Hades 2 weapons, so it's worth getting as soon as possible. It also has its own Hades 2 Aspects to unlock, with the Aspect of Melinoe requiring more Adamant!
