Hades 2 players can obtain Tears by conquering the Mourning Fields’ Infernal Beast/Cerebus, which is the third region in the game after Erebus and Oceanus. This three-headed dog, Hades’ powerful companion, acts as the last obstacle and ultimate boss of the Mourning Fields.

Players will face a challenging journey to reach the Infernal Beast, having to first conquer the two preceding regions, defeat Headmistress Hecate, Scylla and her Sirens, and navigate through the vast open spaces of the Mourning Fields. This process can be quite time-consuming, especially since each successful defeat of the Infernal Beast will grant them One Tear.

Even though the fight is challenging, the giant three-headed dog’s attacks and ability to summon elite monsters make it even more difficult. Players must constantly dodge its paw swipes and area-of-effect spells while also dealing with the summoned monsters. The only strategy is to stay on the move and attack its back until its health is depleted.

Although Tears are considered a scarce resource, there are not numerous upgrades that demand it. This implies that players should have a few Tears in their possession by the time they are needed. The most significant upgrade that requires Tears is the Attending a Faithful Beast Incantation, which enables your Animal Familiar to assist you. Additionally, Tears are also necessary for obtaining the Moros Weapon Aspect for the Umbral Flames weapon, but this also requires the relatively rare Bronze resource.
