Nectar is the first “gift” item that powers your social progress. Hand a jar to characters in the Crossroads, to Olympian sigils, or to certain allies you meet mid-run, and the bond ticks upward.
Most first gifts unlock a Keepsake, which you equip in the Training Grounds display case before a run.
Keepsakes level as you clear encounters while they are fitted, so your build flexibility grows alongside your friendships.
If someone cannot accept a gift yet, they give it back, meaning you never lose a jar.
Here’s how to get and use Nectar in Hades 2 without running dry.
How Can You Reliably Get Nectar Early?
The most dependable way to stock up is to follow door symbols.
When a chamber exit shows the Nectar icon, clear that room, and you’re guaranteed a jar at the end. Focus on those doors first until you’ve got a good set of Keepsakes.
At the same time, always check Charon’s shop. His inventory changes and sometimes includes Nectar for Obols.
It will not appear every time, but if your build is already solid, spending coins on Nectar can be a smarter long-term play than chasing small stat boosts.
How Does the Broker Help With Nectar Farming?
Your nightly safety net arrives once you perform the Kinship Fortune incantation.
Doing the ritual lets the Wretched Broker appear in the Crossroads and offer one Nectar per visit for thirty Bones.
It’s capped at one, but because you loop through the hub between attempts, it acts like a slow drip that keeps your supply steady.
You can feed that Bone economy by selling fish or just clearing more rooms, so this becomes a repeatable loop.
How Does Alchemy Help You Farm Nectar Later?
As you progress, Alchemy becomes a main system, and the Sweet Nectar brew unlocks after the Surface boss.
Spending one Golden Apple produces three Nectar at once after brew time.
Golden Apples count against other upgrades, so hold off on spending them on brewing until weapons and aspects are sorted, then this recipe becomes an effortless way to top up jars.
How Should You Use Nectar Efficiently?
Early on, spread your gifts wide instead of stacking them on one character.
Giving each ally a single jar quickly builds your Keepsake case and equips you with safety, strength, and economy advantages.
After you’ve got a healthy lineup, rotate Keepsakes so they gain encounter clears and rank up.
If a bond features a lock or is tied to a story moment, skip it for now and revisit it later.
Always carry at least one jar during runs so you can gift a new face or god sigil the moment you encounter them.
