Giving a character Nectar increases your relationship level with them by one and, the first time you do this, you’ll be given a Keepsake from them in return, which can be a huge help on your runs. Early on in Hades 2, when you first start finding Nectar, you should give it out to several characters to quickly build up a small collection of Keepsakes that you can switch between. You can give Nectar to most characters in the Crossroads, such as Hecate, Nemesis, and Odysseus, and you can hand it over to any friendly characters you find during runs. This includes all divine Boon gods, like Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Zeus, as well as special characters, such as Charon and Arachne.

Once you’re happy with some of your Keepsakes, you can consider giving Nectar to just one character, ideally the one you like the most, to start improving your relationship level. You won’t get anything in return for every Nectar bottle you hand over after the first, but you can eventually get unlock Fated List prophecies and opportunities to offer other Indulgences, such as Bath Salts and Twin Lures for bathing and fishing with a friend respectively.
