You get Keepsakes by doing one thing: hand over Nectar to an NPC and get one back. There are 26 in total, each from a particular character. Story progress and how characters feel about you might block you from giving Nectar sometimes. Keep at it!

How To Get Every Keepsake And How To Upgrade Them

Leveling up Keepsakes is easy too. They go from rank one to three. To level one up, equip it and win a set number of fights:

  • To upgrade from rank one to rank two, you'll need to win 25 encounters with the Keepsake equipped.
  • To upgrade from rank two to rank three, you'll need to win a further 50 encounters with the Keepsake equipped.

A Full Keepsake Collection In Hades 2

Encounters are fights, not simply locations - you need to be beating enemies for the Keepsake to progress.

The table below lists every Keepsake in the game, its effects (with each rank's effects separated by slashes and boldened), and who you receive them from. Numbers that we aren't sure of but can make a guess at are in italics.
