It can be a little difficult to obtain Lotus in Hades 2, as you have to complete the Erebus region first. After clearing that place, you can find Lotus in Oceanus (the next location after overpowering Hecate).

Eliminating Hecate can be difficult, especially for players new to this genre. Thus, it may take you several trials to vanquish her. After your victory over Hecate, you will enter a room with an unnamed mysterious character and then proceed into Oceanus.
