Hades 2 Serpent Scales: Where to Find Them
In brief
Serpent Scales are a rare and valuable resource in Hades 2, obtainable only at the Summit of Mount Olympus after making your way through several zones. You'll recognize them by their green-and-silver plates in the ground, and you'll need to use the Moon Pick to harvest them.
In Hades 2, Melinoë must gather a plethora of materials to progress through her quests. Among these resources, some clearly stand out as exceptions given how rare and difficult they are to obtain. Serpent Scales, one of these exceptional treasures, can therefore only be collected with time and quite a bit of elbow grease.

Scale Location
Scales, one of the rarest materials in Hades 2, are a commodity available in a specific area of the game, unlike other resources that you can gather right from the start of your adventure, many of which are within easy reach.
To find them, you need to reach the Summit, the final level of the Surface in Hades 2. This location represents the final ascent, a massive challenge for any player to overcome. It is only at the Summit of Mount Olympus that you'll be able to find the Scales you're after.
You'll first need to unlock the Surface, then you'll have to cross several successive areas:
- the City of Ephyra
- the Rift of Thessaly
- Mount Olympus
Finally, once you reach the Summit, look for silvery-green scale plates on the ground, with an edging of branches or vines emerging from them: this is where you'll find the Scales you want to obtain.

Strategies to Maximize Your Chances of Obtaining Scales
There is no classic method to “farm” Scales in Hades 2, but you can still optimize your chances of getting some as soon as you arrive at the Summit. Choose Raki as your familiar, a white bird that will increase your chances of spotting a rocky outcrop during your exploration.
Note
The Scales are part of the reagents/resources that include metal and mineral outcrops, which can only be harvested with the Moon Pickaxe.
