Hades 2 Ambrosia Guide – How to Bond With Gods in Hades 2 Hades is the God who rules the Underworld. This is the place where people go after they die. Hades was a cruel ruler and was revered throughout the Ancient Greek world. He loved his wife Persephone deeply. Her annual return to Hades was responsible for managing the seasons. Her absence led to harsh winters, and her return brought spring-like life. Nectar The primary method of ingratiating yourself with gods in Supergiant Games' epic roguelike, Hades 2, is by gifting Nectar to various characters around the Crossroads and Underworld. Nectar is an item that can be used to gain access to new dialogue with gods, increase your level of affinity with them by a factor of one and even get the gods' Keepsake once you give them your first bottle of Nectar. You can obtain Nectar if you give it to certain characters in the Underworld. For example, Headmistress Hecate or the divine Boon gods. It is also possible to obtain it by completing God Quests and sometimes from the Wretched broker in the House of Hades. Additionally, certain god-specific Boons like Sunken Treasure from Poseidon or Premium Vintage from Dionysus can drop it. Finally fishing in Elysium is a good method to get it. After you've gifted your character with their first bottle, they'll offer to gift you a Keepsake as a reward. Keepsakes are special souvenirs of your relationship with a character, giving you various buffs that can make a big difference in combat. After a character has received his third or fourth Nectar bottle, you will unlock their Fated List Prophecies. This allows you to grow in your relationship with this character by increasing the number displayed on their index cards. You can also continue to offer them Nectar to build your relationship with them and to earn more Keepsakes. You can switch Keepsakes between characters in the big room of the House of Hades with Skelly the training dummy close to your weapons and accessories. You can also buy the Keepsake Collection Regional upgrade from the House Contractor in order to switch your Keepsake to another region. This allows you to quickly switch between your favourites and get the most from each god that you have a good relation with. Ambrosia If you're playing the godlike roguelite Hades, then you've probably already discovered that Nectar is essential to build relationships with various deities. Ambrosia is a less common cousin of Nectar and can be used in other ways. In this guide, we'll take you through the best ways to get your hands on this powerful source. Ambrosia is a mystical ingredient that the Greek gods consumed or drank. It was believed to confer immortality to those who consumed it. It was also used to mask foul smells. In the Odyssey, for example when Menelaus, his army, and the seal skins they wore were disguised Ambrosia, a goddess who carried ambrosia descending from heaven appeared to disguise the noxious smell. Ambrosia was a food that was reserved for the Olympian gods, and it was often used in rituals to mark the line between death and immortality. It also served as a symbol of divine perfection, as shown in the story about Achilles who was anointed by his mother Thetis with ambrosia to make him immortal. He died in the end due to the fact that his heel had not been treated. Ambrosia, in addition to being drunk and consumed by the Olympian Gods it was also used to treat wounds or apply anoints to bodies. In two different myths it was believed that Apollo applied ambrosia on the bodies of Sarpedon and Patroclus, while Thetis applied ambrosia to Patroclus. These stories could be intended to convey that immortality was a blessing that could be revoked in the same way as it was granted and thus establishing the value of ambrosia, as well as the demarcation between immortal and mortal. While contemporary scholars have posited that ambrosia could be honey, there is also the possibility that it was intended to be a hallucinogenic fungus known as Amanita Muscaria. It would explain the belief that it brought immortality, since it was a popular hallucinogen in the time of the ancient people. Keepsakes Keepsakes, like Ambrosia in Hades 2, are used to gain the respect of the gods. Supergiant Games' epic reimagining of Greek mythology features some of the most powerful pantheon-building techniques in recent times. While you battle through the Underworld you can offer Nectar as you go to any god or NPC. Certain gods will reward you with the player with a Keepsake. These unique items provide useful enhancements that can assist Zagreus escape the Underworld. Keepsakes are, in contrast to Boons can be upgraded through many runs. This can be done by defeating enemies in areas where the Keepsake of the god associated with it attached, or visiting the store specifically for gods at the Crossroads. Once the item's Rank is raised, it will give a bonus effect that can be activated during combat. Keepsakes can be ranked based on the number encounters they have been used in. This is a great way to boost your damage or heal. There are 16 Keepsakes in total, each with a unique benefit. They're a great way to make your choices when fighting for survival in the Underworld. These are an excellent alternative to the standard gods' boons if you don't want wait for them to spawn in the Rift or God Gate. Certain gods have unique keepsakes, but you must visit their respective shops in the Underworld. These include Charon, who offers an exclusive shop location in the Rift of Thessaly, and Sisyphus, who can be located in the Merchant's Circle on one of the vessels or Medea, who is located in the City of Ephyra. akun demo zeus vs hades holmestrail is another god that gives you a Keepsake when you give her Nectar in the city of Thebes however, hers isn't easy to find since she only appears during battle above the ground. Hecate's Keepsake, for example, allows players to restore some of their magick each night, up to a certain amount determined by Keepsake Rank. It also reduces how much damage the player takes from the front, and deals slightly more damage when attacking behind. Keepsake Keepsake Hades also has other characters with whom you can develop relationships (purely platonic – sorry). Gifting them bottles of Nectar may give them special abilities that boost Zagreus in his quest to escape the Underworld. These gifts are known as Keepsakes and are one of the most important items in the game. It's as simple as that: each time you finish an adventure, a character could receive a Keepsake upgraded by up to three levels. Once the Keepsake has reached rank three the buff will be applied to your next encounter. Some examples of these buffs include: Sigil of the Dead: Increases Zagreus the God Gauge's percentage by default at the start of an encounter. Hades's Aid Call fills the gauge after activation. It can be upgraded by upgrading it, but unquipping it in between levels resets God Gauge to zero. Each god's Keepsake provides unique buffs that can be extremely beneficial both in the early and late phases of the game. Our top recommendation is grabbing the Cerberus Keepsake or the Old Spiked Collar, as soon as you can in order to boost your health by a significant boost. The rest of the gods' Keepsakes are also worth getting as soon as you can. The Arachne and Narcissus ones are particularly good since they'll allow you to pick up an entirely new weapon before you even start, while the Poseidon and Megaera ones will allow you to take on more damage when attacking from behind.
