Keepsakes are an essential item that can provide you with plenty of effects in Hades 2. If you want to obtain some Keepsakes, here’s a complete in-depth guide on how.
What are Keepsakes in Hades 2
Keepsakes are items you can obtain from gifting nectar to various characters in Hades 2. Whenever you’re near a character, you can interact with them by gifting them with nectar. You’ll instantly receive a Keepsake for gifting them.
You can only get one Keepsake from each character. If you plan on unlocking all the Keepsakes in Hades 2, you’ll need to interact with a lot of characters.
You can equip your Keepsakes in the cabinet in the chamber you prepare for your runs. Keepsakes can only be equipped one at a time, and once you unequip it, you can’t reequip it on that run.
