How to Get Keepsakes in Hades 2

KeepsakesĀ are obtainedĀ by gifting a Bottle of Nectar to any friendly NPC you find before or during your runs. Each character has a single keepsake, obtained as soon as they accept your bottle gift. Some characters, such as Nemesis, may notĀ acceptĀ the bottleĀ right away, so keep trying the next time you visit the Crossroads. Characters will onlyĀ acceptĀ one gift at a time.

You can get Nectar by going through specific Chambers during your Underworld explorations, but you can also buy it from the Wretched Broker after you obtain your first bottle. The Broker offers up to three Nectars per run attempt. Dying in your next run resets the Broker’s shop, as well as letting you give others more bottles.

All Keepsakes & Their Effects in Hades 2

There’s a total of 27 Keepsakes inĀ Hades 2. You can check your collection at the training fields and can freely change them after each Guardian boss once you complete the Kindred Keepsakes incantation.Ā 

As many of them have single-use effects and are more valuable during certain portions of your run, changing them from time to time is highly recommended. Their effects increase the more chamber encounters you complete with them (chambers without enemies, such as Charon’s shop, won’t count).
