How to Get Nectar in Hades 2?

Nectar in Hades 2 is crucial for deepening bonds with characters, offering valuable Keepsakes that further enhance your abilities. Here is everything Nectar is used for and some of the best ways to get Nectar in Hades 2.

What is Nectar in Hades 2

Nectar in Hades 2 is an Indulgence item which is required to strengthen player interaction with various characters. It is used to improve relationships with gods, mortals, and other figures found in the Crossroads, Underworld, and Olympus.

By gifting Nectar to these characters, players not only increase their affinity with them but also receive Keepsakes on their first gift. Players can give Nectar to a character by accessing their inventory, selecting the ‘Gift’ option, and choosing Nectar. Each gift of Nectar boosts the player’s relationship level with the character.

How to Get Nectar?

There are several methods to obtain Nectar throughout Hades 2. Here is a quick rundown:

1. Encounter Rewards: Nectar can appear as an uncommon reward during encounters across all game regions. Players should keep an eye out for Nectar icons at the exit gates after each encounter.
2. The Wretched Broker: Located at the Crossroads, the Wretched Broker offers Nectar in exchange for Bones. After casting the Kinship Fortune Incantation, players can purchase one bottle of Nectar for 30 Bones. The availability of Nectar from the Broker resets nightly, so players can regularly acquire it each game day.
3. Charon’s Shop: Occasionally, Charon will have Nectar available for purchase in his shop. The availability is not guaranteed, making it a less reliable but possible source of Nectar. When available, it can be bought with Gold.
4. Kinship Fortune Incantation: By casting this incantation, players not only enable the ability to trade for Nectar at the Wretched Broker but also receive one bottle of Nectar automatically the first time it is cast.
5. Minor Prophecies and Quests: Completing specific minor prophecies and quests can reward players with Nectar. For example, summoning Moros a second time completes the Harbinger of Doom Minor Prophecy, rewarding players with a bottle of Nectar. Additionally, fulfilling certain conditions in quests like those from the Three Fates may also yield Nectar.
6. Alchemy Recipe: Later in the game, players can discover an alchemy recipe through a conversation with Aphrodite, which involves using a Golden Apple to create three bottles of Nectar.
7. Special Doors and Stages: During gameplay, players might encounter special doors or stages marked with a Nectar symbol. Choosing these paths can lead to Nectar rewards upon completion.
