Hyper Light Breaker: A Comprehensive Guide to Resources

Hyper Light Breaker features seven crucial resources vital for gear acquisition, permanent upgrades, enhanced survivability, and character roster expansion. This guide clarifies their acquisition and usage. Resources are conveniently tracked under the "Items" tab in the inventory menu.

1. Bright Blood:

This common resource is obtained by defeating enemies, destroying objects, opening crates in the Overgrowth, and selling gear to Hub vendors. Bright Blood is used to:

  • Loot Blades and Rails.
  • Open Stashes and crates.
  • Purchase gear from Overgrowth and Hub vendors.
  • Upgrade gear at Hub vendors.

2. Gold Ration:

Earned by completing Cycles (typically by using all four Rezes and resetting the Overgrowth via an NPC at the Hub Telepad after providing required materials). Gold Rations are key to meta-progression:

  • Unlock permanent upgrades at Pherus Bit (Hub).
  • Access new vendor services in the Hub.

3. Abyss Stone:

Acquired by defeating Crowns (challenging bosses accessed via Overgrowth gates after collecting Prisms – locations marked by yellow diamonds on the map). Like Gold Rations, Abyss Stones facilitate meta-progression:

  • Upgrade Sycom stats.
  • Unlock new characters (during loadout confirmation).

4. Key:

Occasionally found in unmarked small containers within the Overgrowth. Keys are used to:

  • Bypass barriers to access Stashes and other containers.
  • Enter Labs (subterranean areas with enemies and loot).

5. MediGem:

Earned by interacting with glowing flowers in the Overgrowth. Essential for obtaining Medkits (requires Medkit capacity upgrade at Pherus Bit using one Gold Ration).

6. Core:

A meta-progression resource found in Stashes (marked by chest icons) or by combining four Core Shards (obtained from Prism-rewarding enemies and unmarked lootable objects). Cores are used to:

  • Upgrade Sycom stats (during loadout confirmation).

7. Material:

Primarily obtained by using Bright Blood to open small chests (often marked with gems) and by selling gear at the Hub. Materials are used to:

  • Purchase gear from Hub and Overgrowth vendors.

Mastering these resources is key to conquering Hyper Light Breaker!
