How To Get Companions In Hades

Companions are powerful legendary items in Hades that can turn the tide of battle during your escape attempts. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to unlock and equip companions from all six characters and gods available in the game.

Understanding Companions in Hades

Companions in Hades are legendary keepsakes that you can unlock and equip to aid you during your runs. They provide unique effects and benefits that can help you succeed in your escape attempts.

Which Characters Offer Companions

You can unlock companions from six different characters and gods in Hades:

Achilles

Sisyphus

Dusa

Skelly

Meg

Thanatos

How to Unlock Companions

Step 1: Give Nectar to Characters

To unlock a companion, you must first max out all six hearts for a character by giving them nectar. Start by gifting nectar to your chosen character—you’ll see six regular heart slots appear as you progress.

Step 2: Complete Character Favors

After giving nectar six times, the seventh heart slot will become locked and display a keyhole symbol. This indicates you need to complete a quest or favor from that character before you can continue bonding with them.

Step 3: Give Ambrosia for the Companion

Once you’ve completed the character’s favor, give them an Ambrosia. The first time you gift a character Ambrosia, you will automatically unlock their companion. The ribbon symbol on their heart indicates that you’ve already given them Ambrosia.

Equipping and Using Your Companions

You can view and manage your unlocked companions in your Keepsakes section. Each companion has its own unique effects that activate during your escape attempts. For example, Skelly’s companion can be used to assist you during runs.

Upgrading Your Companions

Companions aren’t set in stone—you can upgrade them using Ambrosia to improve their effects and make them more powerful. Invest in your favorites to maximize their benefits during your escapes.

Summary

Getting companions in Hades is a rewarding process that requires patience and dedication. By giving six doses of nectar to a character, completing their favor, and then offering Ambrosia, you’ll unlock powerful keepsakes to aid your runs. Remember, you can upgrade these companions further with additional Ambrosia to enhance their effects. Work through all six characters—Achilles, Sisyphus, Dusa, Skelly, Meg, and Thanatos—to build a complete collection of companions.
