When it comes to crafting games like Little Alchemy 2, the more abstract the concept, the harder it is to make – and that’s certainly the case with Idea.

How to Make an Idea in Little Alchemy 2

To make Idea in Little Alchemy 2, you must ultimately combine Light Bulb with Human. Fortunately, if you’ve already made a Corpse in the past, or even a Hero, you’re more than halfway there. Here’s a breakdown of how to make Idea in Little Alchemy 2.

Once you have Idea on your table, there’s no shortage of new things you can make. But some of the most interesting new creations come from combining Idea with the four elements. Combine Idea with Air to make Gas, or Fire to make Heat. Or get theoretical and combine Idea with Wind to make Motion. Perhaps step in the shoes of Alexander Fleming and combine Idea with Mold to create Penicillin.

But don’t sleep on how good some of the components you’ve made are, either. With Glass and Human in your arsenal, you’re pretty close to making Science. And Science, unsurprisingly, opens up an entirely new field of exploration for your alchemy lab.
