In the immersive world of Hyper Light Breaker, players have the opportunity to harness seven unique resources to enhance their gameplay, unlock permanent upgrades, boost survivability, and expand their character roster. However, the methods for acquiring these resources and their uses might not be immediately clear. This comprehensive guide aims to demystify these elements, offering players a thorough understanding of how to effectively utilize each resource in Hyper Light Breaker.
All resources are conveniently stored under the items tab in the inventory menu, allowing players to keep track of their possessions easily.
How to Get & Use Bright Blood in Hyper Light Breaker
Bright Blood is the most abundant resource in Hyper Light Breaker, obtainable by defeating enemies, destroying objects, and opening crates within the Overgrowth. Players can also acquire additional Bright Blood by selling gear to vendors in the Hub.
With Bright Blood, players can:
- Extract Blades and Rails from bodies in the Overgrowth.
- Unlock Stashes and other crates in the Overgrowth.
- Buy new gear from vendors in both the Overgrowth and the Hub.
- Enhance gear at the Hub's vendors.
How to Get & Use Gold Ration in Hyper Light Breaker
Gold Rations are earned by completing Cycles in Hyper Light Breaker. In the game's early stages, completing a Cycle typically involves dying four times and exhausting all Rezes. After using all four Rezes, players can find an NPC at the Telepad in the Hub who will request materials to reset the Overgrowth and progress toward earning Gold Rations.
Gold Rations are crucial for the meta-progression system. They allow players to unlock permanent upgrades through Pherus Bit in the Hub and access new services from the Hub's vendors.
How to Get & Use Abyss Stone in Hyper Light Breaker
Abyss Stones are acquired by defeating Crowns, challenging bosses located behind gates in the Overgrowth. To battle Crowns, players must first collect Prism, indicated by yellow diamonds on the in-game map.
Like Gold Rations, Abyss Stones are vital for meta-progression. They enable players to upgrade their Sycoms' stats and unlock new characters during loadout confirmation before entering the Overgrowth, giving players an edge in subsequent adventures.
How to Get & Use Key in Hyper Light Breaker
Keys can be found by opening small containers in the Overgrowth, though these are often unmarked on the in-game map, making them somewhat elusive.
Keys are essential for overcoming barriers in the Overgrowth, granting access to Stashes and other lootable containers. They also allow entry into Labs, underground areas filled with enemies and valuable items.
How to Get & Use MediGem in Hyper Light Breaker
MediGems, a crucial resource, are obtained by interacting with glowing flowers in the Overgrowth. They are used to acquire Medkits when deploying from the Hub's Telepad or visiting Shrines in the Overgrowth.
Before using MediGems, players must expand their Medkit capacity to one by visiting Pherus Bit in the Hub and spending one Gold Ration to unlock the Medkit Capacity node.
How to Get & Use Core in Hyper Light Breaker
Cores, another meta-progression resource, can be found in Stashes within the Overgrowth, marked by chest icons on the map. Players can also combine four Core Shards to form a Core. These shards are obtained by defeating enemies that drop Prisms (marked by yellow diamonds) and from unmarked objects like bone piles in the Overgrowth.
Cores are used to upgrade a player's Sycom during loadout confirmation before entering the Overgrowth, enhancing the stats of their Breakers.
How to Get & Use Material in Hyper Light Breaker
Materials are primarily obtained by using Bright Blood to open small chests in the Overgrowth, often marked with gems on the map. Additional Materials can be gained by selling gear to vendors in the Hub.
Players can use Materials to purchase gear from vendors in both the Hub and the Overgrowth. While similar to Bright Blood, Materials have more specific applications.
