Hades Summons: How to Acquire Companions

Hades Summons are Companions with different abilities that can be acquired by gifting lots of nectar to specific characters.

Although it has players constantly slaying underworld fiends throughout numerous escape attempts, Hades is also a game about nurturing relationships with its varied cast of characters. Doing so is a must for players that wish to discover the hidden Erebus realm and have continued success on their runs.

Each character will provide Zagreus with a keepsake the first time he gives them a gift, but six of them can also be leveled up to the point that they give Zagreus a Keepsake Summon. Read below to find out how to get them.

To get any of these Companions, the player must level up their respective character by gifting them five or six nectars. Then, the player will see a heart with a keyhole in that character's Affinity Gauge in the Codex. The keyhole means that a favor must be completed for that character, and completing it will reward the player with their Companion Keepsake.

Each Companion is initially a one-time Summon, but can be upgraded for up to five uses per run if the player gives it Ambrosia.
