Hyper Light Breaker: A Comprehensive Guide to its Seven Resources
Hyper Light Breaker features seven crucial resources vital for acquiring gear, unlocking permanent upgrades, enhancing survivability, and expanding your character roster. This guide clarifies how to obtain and utilize each resource. All resources are conveniently stored in the inventory's items tab.
1. Bright Blood:
This common resource is earned by defeating enemies, destroying objects, and opening crates in the Overgrowth. Selling gear to vendors also yields Bright Blood. Its uses include:
- Acquiring Blades and Rails from corpses.
- Opening Stashes and crates.
- Purchasing gear from Overgrowth and Hub vendors.
- Upgrading gear at Hub vendors.
2. Gold Ration:
Obtained by completing Cycles (typically by depleting all four Rezes). After death, find the NPC at the Hub's Telepad; provide required materials to reset the Overgrowth and progress towards earning Gold Rations.
Gold Rations are key for meta-progression:
- Unlock permanent upgrades via Pherus Bit in the Hub.
- Access new vendor services in the Hub.
3. Abyss Stone:
Earned by defeating Crowns (challenging bosses accessed via Overgrowth gates). Requires collecting Prisms beforehand (locations marked with yellow diamonds on the map).
Abyss Stones are another meta-progression resource:
- Upgrade Sycom stats.
- Unlock new characters (during loadout confirmation before entering the Overgrowth).
4. Key:
Occasionally found in unmarked small containers within the Overgrowth.
Keys unlock:
- Barriers blocking access to Stashes and containers.
- Entry to Labs (subterranean areas with enemies and loot).
5. MediGem:
Acquired by interacting with glowing flowers in the Overgrowth. Essential for obtaining Medkits at the Hub's Telepad and Overgrowth Shrines. Requires expanding Medkit capacity (using one Gold Ration at Pherus Bit).
6. Core:
Found in Stashes (marked with chest icons) or by combining four Core Shards. Shards are obtained from enemies that yield Prisms and unmarked lootable objects.
Cores are used to:
- Upgrade Sycom stats (during loadout confirmation).
7. Material:
Primarily earned by using Bright Blood to open small chests (often marked with gems). Selling gear also provides Materials.
Materials are used to:
- Purchase gear from Hub and Overgrowth vendors.
Mastering these resources is key to fully experiencing Hyper Light Breaker.
