How To Unlock Hearts With Characters In Hades

In Hades, unlocking hearts with characters is an essential part of building relationships and progressing through the game. This guide will walk you through the multiple methods available to earn hearts, whether through gift-giving or completing character-specific quests.

Understanding the Two Currencies

Hades features two primary currencies you can use to unlock hearts with characters: Ambrosia and Nectar. Both serve as valuable gifts that characters appreciate, and each can be used interchangeably depending on your current inventory and preferences.

Gift Characters With Nectar or Ambrosia

The most straightforward way to unlock a heart is by giving a character a gift during conversation. When you interact with a character like Nyx, you can present them with Nectar, and they will immediately grant you a heart in return. You’ll receive a “+1 heart” notification, and the character will engage you in additional dialogue following the gift exchange.

Talk to Characters After Every Escape or Death

Consistently interacting with characters is crucial for unlocking hearts. Make it a habit to speak with characters after each escape attempt or death during your runs. These conversations often trigger prerequisite dialogues that are necessary for heart progression. Regular communication ensures you don’t miss out on dialogue-dependent heart unlocks.

Check Your Prophecies List

Your Fated List of Prophecies contains valuable information about character quests and requirements. Some prophecies directly relate to unlocking hearts with specific characters, so regularly reviewing this list will help you identify which characters have heart-related quests available and what conditions must be met to complete them.

Complete Character Favors

Certain characters require you to complete favors or quests before you can unlock their hearts. For example, Hades himself has a heart with a key symbol that unlocks only after you complete his favor quest. Each character has their own unique set of favors associated with their heart progression, so you’ll need to work through their individual requirements to fully build your relationship with them.

Summary

Unlocking hearts in Hades requires a multi-faceted approach: gift characters with Nectar or Ambrosia, maintain regular conversations after runs, check your Fated List of Prophecies for quest requirements, and complete character-specific favors. By following these methods, you’ll steadily build stronger relationships with all the characters in the game.
