Similar to its predecessor, Hades 2 also allows players to equip Keepsakes, which are a huge help during the player's numerous runs through the Underworld and above. In this guide, we will tackle the Keepsakes in Hades 2, how to unlock them, and their effects.
Hades 2 – What Are Keepsakes?
Keepsakes are equipable items that players can equip before heading out into their run. After unlocking and brewing the Kindred Keepsakes Incantation, players will also be able to switch Keepsakes in between regions, allowing players some flexibility.
Some of these Keepsakes have one-time effects, like Charon's Keepsake, while others give continuous effects, like those from the game's various gods and goddesses. It is up to the player what Keepsakes they will run each night.
Hades 2 Keepsakes Unlock Guide
Unlocking Keepsakes is actually pretty simple. To unlock a Keepsake, players must gift one of the game's various NPCs one piece of Nectar. This will give players a short cutscene, and will then reward them with that NPC's respective Keepsake.
Afterward, players will be able to go to the Keepsake cabinet, which allows them to equip any of the Keepsakes they have unlocked. Initially, the player's Keepsake will persist throughout their entire run. However, as mentioned above, unlocking the Kindred Keepsake Incantation lets players switch Keepsakes mid-run.
Additionally, the effects of a Keepsake will improve the more Encounters the player uses them in, upgrading their effects up to twice.

There are a total of 26 Keepsakes currently in Hades 2 right now. As the game is in Early Access right now, there is a chance that more Keepsakes will be added in the future. For comparison, Hades had 25 Keepsakes, so Hades 2 already has more keepsakes than the original game.
