Ambrosia You've probably discovered that Nectar is a rare relative of Nectar can be used to build relationships with gods when you play the godlike Roguelite Hades. Have you ever come across Ambrosia, a rarer cousin to Nectar that can be used for different reasons? In this guide, we'll guide you through the best way to get your hands on this potent resource. Ambrosia was a mystical drink the Greek gods consumed or drank. It was believed to bring immortality on whoever consumed it. It was also used to cover bad smells. For instance, in the Odyssey in which Menelaus and his army were disguised in seal skins, a goddess containing ambrosia rose from the heavens to smother the dangerous odor. Ambrosia was a particular food that was reserved for the Olympian Gods, was used in rituals as a method to distinguish between immortality and mortality. It also was a symbol of divine perfection as depicted in the tale of Achilles who was anointed by his mother Thetis with ambrosia in order to make him immortal. However, in the end Achilles relapsed into mortality because his heel was left untreated. Ambrosia, as well as being consumed and drunk by the Olympian Gods, was also used to treat wounds and apply anoints to bodies. In two myths, it was mentioned that Apollo used ambrosia on Sarpedon's body, and Thetis applied the ambrosia to the body of Patroclus. These stories could have been meant to suggest that immortality is a gift which can be snatched away as easily as it was given. While contemporary scholars have posited that ambrosia was likely honey, there is the possibility that it was meant to be a hallucinogenic mushroom called Amanita muscaria. This would explain the belief that it brought immortality, as it was a popular hallucinogen among the ancients. Keepsakes As in Ambrosia, Keepsakes are used to ingratiate yourself with the gods of Hades 2. Supergiant Games' epic version of Greek mythology is packed with one of the most powerful pantheon-building mechanics that have been seen in recent history. The game lets you give Nectar to any god or npc as you battle through the Underworld and certain gods will give you a a Keepsake in return. zeus hades pragmatic play Holmes Trail are useful bonuses that make it easier for Zagreus to escape the Underworld. Keepsakes like Boons can be upgraded through several runs. This can be done by defeating enemies in areas that have the god's Keepsake attached, or by visiting the god's store at the Crossroads. Once the item's rank is increased, it's going to provide an additional effect that can be activated during combat. Keepsakes can be ranked by the number of battles they have been involved in. This is a great way to boost your damage or heal. There are 16 total Keepsakes with each offering an individual benefit. If you're trying to survive in the Underworld, they're an excellent option to prioritize your possessions. They're also a great alternative to the traditional god's Boons when you don't wish to wait for them to appear at the Rift of Thessaly or in a God Gate. Some gods provide special keepsakes that require you to visit their corresponding shop in the Underworld. This includes Charon who has a unique shop location in the Rift of Thessaly and Sisyphus is found at the Merchant's Circle on one of the vessels or Medea, who is located in the City of Ephyra. Hecate is god who will grant you a Keepsake in exchange for a gift of Nectar to the city of Thebes. However Hers can be difficult to find since she only appears during combat above ground. For example Hecate's Keepsake allows the player to automatically restore a portion of their magick each night, up to a maximum amount determined by the Keepsake's rank. It also reduces the amount of frontal damage taken by the player, and deals slightly more damage when attacking from behind. Keepsake Keepsake In addition to the gods themselves, Hades offers a number of other characters with whom you can build relationships (purely platonic sorry). Giving them bottles of Nectar will sometimes grant them special gifts that increase Zagreus ability when he is trying to escape from the Underworld. These gifts are known as Keepsakes, and they're one of the most important items in the game. The way they work is easy when you complete an encounter, there's a chance that a character will have their Keepsake upgraded by three ranks or more. Once a Keepsake attains rank 3, it will unlock an additional buff that can be applied to the next encounter. The buffs include: The Sigil of the Dead It increases Zagreus' God Gauge's percentage by default at the beginning of an encounter. Hades's aid call fills the gauge upon activation. It can be enhanced by upgrading it but unequipping it between levels resets God Gauge to zero. Each god's Keepsake has unique buffs that are extremely beneficial in both 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 to provide your health with a substantial boost. It's also worth picking up the rest of the gods Keepsakes as soon as you can. The Arachne and Narcissus ones are especially good as they let you acquire a new weapon early on and the Poseidon and Megaera ones allow you to take on more damage when attacking from behind.
