Getting Keepsakes in Hades 2

Acquiring Nectar is crucial for obtaining Keepsakes in Hades 2. This valuable resource can be collected by passing through doors marked with its symbol and can also be bought from the Wretched Broker once per cycle.

Once obtained, Keepsakes can be acquired by giving Nectar to the different Characters located in the Underworld and Beyond. Gods can also receive Nectar by interacting with their insignias.

To present a Nectar to someone in Hades 2, all you have to do is interact with the character or insignia and choose the ‘Gift’ option. Your first reward for giving someone a Nectar will be a Keepsake.
