Hades 2 allows you to meet many characters who are eager to help you on your journey. Of course, there’s also a way to boost your affinity and standing with your allies. This is done by giving your comrades a special gift. Here’s our guide on how to get more Nectar in Hades 2.
How to get more Nectar in Hades 2
The Hades 2 Nectar item can be obtained through various means, which we discuss in our guide. But before that, let’s talk about its function in the game.
What is Nectar used for in Hades 2
The Nectar is primarily a gift for supporting characters, such as those in the Crossroads, various Olympians, and even denizens you encounter in your dungeon runs. To select the nectar, simply walk up to an NPC (or a god’s sigil) and press the Gift button.
There should be a special dialogue where the NPC accepts your gift. If they don’t need it at the time, they’ll simply return it to you so you don’t waste the item. You can learn more about this feature in our romance guide.
Reward from the Kinship Fortune Incantation
As you progress, you’ll learn about different Incantations that unlock additional features. One of these is called Kinship Fortune, and it requires 60x Bones, a resource acquired as you clear dungeon encounters against enemies.
Once you have the materials, simply complete the Incantation to receive +1 Nectar. This also unlocks the Wretched Broker NPC.
Buy from the Wretched Broker
The Wretched Broker is a merchant NPC who will spawn at the Crossroads once you’ve enacted the Kinship Fortune Incantation. This vendor is a great source of Nectar in Hades 2, since you can buy one for 30x Bones. Note that you’re limited to just one per visit to the Crossroads, so you might need to do several (failed) runs if you want to buy more.
In addition to this, the Wretched Broker also sells other indulgences (i.e. gift items), such as Bath Salts, Twin Lures, and Ambrosia. These items and related functions are unlocked once you’ve completed their respective Incantations, which only become available as you progress.
Nectar rewards in dungeons
While delving deep into the underworld, there’s a chance that doorways/pathways have the Nectar symbol. This means you’ll receive Nectar upon clearing the encounter.
Purchase from Charon
It’s also possible to spot Charon while you’re exploring. The Ferryman of the Dead sells various goodies, including Nectar. You need Obols (i.e. gold coins), as opposed to Bones, if you want to buy stuff from him.
Harbinger of Doom Fated List objective
Lastly, you receive one bottle of Nectar upon completing the Harbinger of Doom objective. It requires you to summon Moros so you can speak with him.
This is done by finishing the Doomed Beckoning Incantation, which requires 3x Fate Fabric and 1x Nightshade. On your next visit to the Crossroads, Moros should appear, and he’ll eventually become a resident of the hub.
These are the ways for you to get more Nectar in Hades 2. As mentioned earlier, you will need this item if you want to romance characters.
