In the vibrant world of Hyper Light Breaker, mastering the seven essential resources is key to unlocking gear, permanent upgrades, enhancing survivability, and expanding your character roster. However, the methods to acquire these resources and their uses might not be immediately clear. This guide aims to demystify these elements, providing a comprehensive understanding of each resource in Hyper Light Breaker.

All resources are conveniently stored under the items tab in the inventory menu, allowing players to easily track their collection.

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, smashing destructible objects, and opening crates within the Overgrowth. Additionally, players can acquire more Bright Blood by selling gear to vendors in the Hub.

Bright Blood serves multiple purposes, including:

• Looting Blades and Rails from bodies in the Overgrowth.
• Unlocking Stashes and other crates in the Overgrowth.
• Purchasing new gear from vendors in both the Overgrowth and the Hub.
• Upgrading gear at vendors in the Hub.

How to Get & Use Gold Ration in Hyper Light Breaker

Gold Rations are earned by completing Cycles. In the game's early stages, players typically complete Cycles after dying four times and exhausting all their Rezes. After using up all four Rezes, players can find an NPC at the Telepad in the Hub who will request materials to reset the Overgrowth, aiding in the accumulation of Gold Rations.

Gold Rations are crucial for the meta-progression system, allowing players to unlock permanent upgrades through Pherus Bit in the Hub. They can also be used to unlock new services from vendors in the Hub.

How to Get & Use Abyss Stone in Hyper Light Breaker

Abyss Stones are obtained by defeating Crowns, challenging bosses found through gates in the Overgrowth. To battle Crowns, players must first collect Prism, which are marked by yellow diamonds on the in-game map.

Like Gold Rations, Abyss Stones contribute to meta-progression, enabling players to upgrade their Sycoms' stats and unlock new characters during loadout confirmation before entering the Overgrowth. These upgrades provide significant advantages in future runs.

How to Get & Use Key in Hyper Light Breaker

Keys are occasionally found in small containers within the Overgrowth, which are not typically marked on the in-game map, making them somewhat elusive.

Keys are essential for bypassing 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 are vital resources obtained by interacting with small glowing flowers in the Overgrowth. They are crucial because they can be exchanged for Medkits at the Hub's Telepad and at 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 are another meta-progression resource found in Stashes within the Overgrowth, marked by chest icons on the in-game map. Players can also obtain Cores by combining four Core Shards, which are earned from defeating enemies that drop Prisms (marked by yellow diamonds) and from unmarked lootable objects like bone piles.

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 acquired by using Bright Blood to open small chests in the Overgrowth, often marked with gems on the in-game map. Additional Materials can be gained by selling gear to vendors in the Hub.

Materials are used to purchase gear from vendors in both the Hub and the Overgrowth, making them similar to Bright Blood but with more specific applications.
