Access to the secret stash in Hades can open up new Keepsakes for players to use. However, upon first looking at them in the Keepsakes menu, there is no indication of how to get them. While it may seem like an unsolvable mystery, the opposite is true. Rather it is easier to do than players think, but it just takes time.
Below, we have created a guide on how to get access to the secret stash within Hades. Many players beginning the game or those returning may not have opened it yet. However, with our information on it, you will be able to get it straightforwardly.
How to Open the Secret Stash in Hades
To open the secret stash in Hades, players must greatly strengthen the relationship of six different characters as there are six stashes to unlock. Players can enhance relationships by providing the characters with Nectar. Furthermore, they will give you a personal quest that must be completed to boost the relationship more. Getting Nectar is your first step and the item is given in various ways such as:
- Beating chambers
- Clearing Infernal Troves
- Fated List of Minor Prophecies
- Wretched Broker
- Using the Sunken Treasure Boon from Poseidon for a chance to drop it.
- Fishing in Elysium.
After players acquire Nectar, they can go to any of the six characters, and above their heads will be a picture of the item. By pressing the button associated with it, you will gift them it. Although there are many characters in the game, players need to only focus on a select few to be able to get to the secret stashes faster. The following characters to woo are:
- Achilles (Located in the left room of the House of Hades)
- Dusa (Moves to different rooms in the House of Hades, is a floating head with snakes for hair)
- Megaera (In the Lounge area of House of Hades)
- Sisyphus (Found in Tarturus during runs)
- Skelly (Can be found at the Weapons & Training Room before starting a run in the House of Hades)
- Thanatos (Find him in Elysium and he will begin to appear just near Achilles at the House of Hades)
Once players begin to get Nectar, ensure you give it to those characters to build up their relationships quickly. Players must find the nectar, gift it to a character, check for the unlock, and repeat. Additionally, ensure you complete their quests.
How to Unlock the Keepsakes in Hades
Players can unlock the Keepsakes cabinet in Hades by earning their first Keepsake in the game. This can be done by giving Nectar to any character in the game. In exchange, they will give you a Keepsake to use throughout your runs. Once you have one, players will be able to access it in the Courtyard where Skelly is in the House of Hades. Furthermore, players will be able to equip different ones from the same cabinet.
The secret stash is located at the bottom of the Keepsakes cabinet, with there being six gold slots for players to unlock. So it is best to check the cabinet from time to time just in case you missed the notification that you received one from the stash. Furthermore, always take a Keepsake with you to help make your runs easier.
