How To Make Money In Little Alchemy 2?

Little Alchemy 2 is a cute, fun sequel that (like the original game) is all about creating new elements by combining existing ones.

There are three different ways to make money in Little Alchemy 2.

Those three ways are:

  • Combine Paper + Gold = Money
  • Combine Paper + Diamond = Money
  • Combine Paper + Bank = Money

Since we already look at combining paper and gold earlier, let’s now turn our attention to making money with a diamond and a bank.

The BIG Element

However, it’s first helpful to know that Little Alchemy 2 introduces the Big Element.

The Big Element allows you to grow other elements to full size, shape, and maturity. One of the uses of the Big Element is to turn a plant into a tree.

You make the Big Element like this:

  • Combine Life + Fire = Phoenix
  • Combine Phoenix + Phoenix = Egg
  • Combine Earth + Fire = Lava
  • Combine Lava + Air = Stone
  • Combine Stone + Fire = Metal
  • Combine Metal + Earth = Plow
  • Combine Plow + Earth = Field
  • Combine Stone + Stone = Wall
  • Combine Wall + Wall = House
  • Combine House + Field = Barn
  • Combine Barn + Egg = Chicken
  • Combine Chicken + Egg = Philosophy
  • Combine Philosophy + Planet = Big

How To Make Money With Paper + Diamond in Little Alchemy 2

To make a diamond in Little Alchemy 2, you’ll need pressure and coal.

You create pressure by combining Air + Air. That one’s pretty easy if I say so myself.

Making coal takes a few more steps:

  • Combine Earth + Earth = Land
  • Combine Land + Land = Continent
  • Combine Continent + Continent = Planet
  • Combine Air + Air = Pressure
  • Combine Pressure + Earth = Stone
  • Combine Stone + Planet = Moon
  • Combine Air + Stone = Sand
  • Combine Sand + Fire = Glass
  • Combine Glass + Moon = Telescope
  • Combine Water + Earth = Mud
  • Combine Mud + Stone = Clay
  • Combine Water + Water = Puddle
  • Combine Puddle + Water = Pond
  • Combine Pond + Water = Lake
  • Combine Lake + Water = Sea
  • Combine Fire + Earth = Lava
  • Combine Lava + Sea = Primordial Soup
  • Combine Earth + Lava = Volcano
  • Combine Volcano + Primordial Soup = Life
  • Combine Life + Clay = Human
  • Combine Human + Telescope = Science
  • Combine Science + Life = Organic Matter
  • Combine Pressure + Organic Matter = Coal

Now all you need to do is combine Pressure with Coal (Pressure + Coal) to create a diamond.

As we mentioned earlier, paper + diamond = money.
