Essential Resource Guide for Hyper Light Breaker

Hyper Light Breaker: A Comprehensive Guide to 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 effectively. All resources are conveniently stored in the inventory's items tab for easy access.

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:

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

• Unlocking permanent upgrades at Pherus Bit in the Hub.
• Accessing new vendor services in the Hub.

3. Abyss Stone:

Obtained by defeating Crowns (challenging bosses accessed via gates in the Overgrowth, requiring prior Prism collection – locations marked by yellow diamonds on the map). Abyss Stones facilitate meta-progression:

• Upgrading Sycom stats.
• Unlocking new characters (during loadout confirmation before entering the Overgrowth).

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. Crucially, MediGems are exchanged for Medkits at the Hub Telepad and Overgrowth Shrines (requires unlocking Medkit capacity at Pherus Bit using one Gold Ration).

6. Core:

Found in Stashes (marked by chest icons) or crafted by combining four Core Shards (obtained from enemies that yield Prisms and unmarked lootable objects). Cores are used to:

• Upgrade Sycom stats during loadout confirmation, boosting Breaker stats.

7. Material:

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

• Purchase gear from Hub and Overgrowth vendors (similar to Bright Blood, but with more limited applications).
