How to make life in Little Alchemy 2
Making life in Little Alchemy 2 is a long and complicated process in which you need to mix and match the following items: electricity, energy, primordial soup, lightning, time, storm, volcano, ocean, sea, and/or lake.
Unlocking each one, however, will take some time. Fortunately for you, we’ve got the full list of combinations in the game right here, which tells you that to create energy, for example, you need to use one of the following combinations:
Energy = Fire+ atmosphere / fire, science / heat + science / fire + fire
The following combinations can be used to create a primordial soup: lava + ocean / lava + sea / ocean + planet / earth + ocean / sea + planet / earth + sea
The trouble is getting to the items needed for the combinations - it’s a whole thing. You use the items at the start of the game and snowball with combos until you reach new discoveries. The following item combinations will give you life but you need to create the items here first:
- Energy + primordial soup
- Electricity + primordial soup
- Time + primordial soup
- Storm + primordial soup
- Volcano + primordial soup
- Ocean + electricity
- Sea + electricity
- Electricity + lake
- Ocean + lightning
- Sea + lightning
- Lake + lightning
- Primordial soup + lightning
Whichever combinations you opt to use to create life in Little Alchemy 2 will require some steps to complete. Let's stick with energy and primordial soup for our example.
The combinations that work to create energy and primordial soup can be seen above. As you have fire from the start of the game, it’s definitely easiest to stick with the energy and primordial soup method to create life.
To create energy simply add fire to fire. Primordial soup is a little more complicated and requires some steps to complete. Earth + ocean is easiest, though.
To create a primordial soup in Little Alchemy 2 with earth + ocean, follow these steps:
- Earth (you have this from the start)
- Ocean:
- Water + water to create a puddle
- Puddle + water to create a pond
- Pond + water to create a lake
- Lake + water to create a sea
- Sea + water to create an ocean
Now you have created life, it’s time to combine it with other items to make all sorts of new and exciting item discoveries.
