How To Forge Bonds With Olympians In Hades

Forging bonds with Olympian gods in Hades follows the same mechanics as building relationships with other characters in the game. This guide will walk you through the complete process of strengthening your connections with these powerful deities, from your first gift of nectar through to unlocking the Forge Bond status.

Starting Bond Formation: Giving Nectar

The foundation of forging bonds with Olympian gods begins with giving them nectar. During escape runs or encounters, you will come across bones of Olympian gods scattered throughout the game. For example, when you encounter the bones of Athena, you can offer her nectar as a gift.

To give nectar, simply select the “give” option when prompted. Once you do, you will receive a heart in return. This heart represents your relationship level with that particular god.

Filling Up Your Heart Meters

Each time you give nectar to an Olympian god, you fill up their heart meter. Continue playing the game and keep giving nectar to the same gods whenever you encounter them. The heart meter will gradually fill up as you progress.

You will notice that once a heart is fully filled, it becomes locked. At this point, you can no longer give that god nectar to increase that particular heart level.

Completing Favors to Unlock Locked Hearts

When a heart becomes locked, you need to complete a favor from that Olympian god in order to unlock it and continue building your relationship. These favors vary depending on the god.

For example, with Hermes, you may need to equip his keepsake at level 3 and then talk to him during an encounter. Each Olympian god has their own unique set of favors that must be completed before you can give them nectar again and progress further.

Progressing Beyond Nectar: Using Ambrosia

Once you have unlocked a locked heart through completing a favor, you can resume giving gifts to that god. However, at this advanced stage, nectar is no longer the currency—you will now use Ambrosia instead.

Continue giving Ambrosia to the Olympian god until you have maxed out all of their hearts. This process mirrors the method used with other characters in Hades, such as Cerberus.

Achieving Forge Bond Status

Once you have completely maxed out all hearts with an Olympian god, you will achieve “Forge Bond” status with that character. This is the highest level of relationship you can reach with any character in Hades, including the Olympian gods.

The process for maintaining this status is identical to other characters—you must continue completing their favors and providing gifts as they become available.

Summary

Forging bonds with Olympian gods in Hades is a straightforward process that mirrors relationship-building with other characters. Start by giving nectar whenever you encounter their bones, fill up their heart meters, complete their unique favors when hearts become locked, progress to using Ambrosia, and continue until you reach maximum Forge Bond status. With patience and consistent engagement, you’ll strengthen your connections with these powerful deities throughout your runs.
