Let’s learn everything you need to know about Romance in Hades 2. Unlock unique character interactions with Romance gifts.
The romance system in Hades 2 goes beyond just gifting Nectar to NPCs like in the first game. While that’s still a core way to raise relationship levels, you can unlock special gifts that trigger unique interactions and scenes with romanceable characters. You can invite them to new hangout spots in the Crossroads area between runs. Here’s a complete Romance guide in Hades 2 for you.

Hot Springs, Cold Beverages, and Lazy Fishing Days
You need to complete certain tasks that add cozy new hangouts to the hub area:
- Rite of Vapor Cleansing — This will unlock the Crossroads Hot Springs, where you can gift Bath Salts to take a relaxing bath with a companion.
- Rite of Social Solidarity — This will construct the Crossroads Taverna, letting you share a round of Ambrosia drinks with your chosen NPC friend.
- Rite of River-Fording — This will open up the Crossroads Fishing Pier, where you can spend a lazy day fishing with help from gifted Twin Lures.
While NPCs won’t always accept your invitations, these new locales provide perfect settings for romantic conversations.
