What does giving Nectar do in Hades?
Hades Nectar is one of the many artefact currencies in the underworld. Gifting Nectar to NPCs is critical for your growth as your kinship with each character aids you in your escape from the underworld. By gifting Nectar to people they in turn gift you with Keepsakes, which bestow Zagreus with unique abilities.

Keepsakes are very powerful items you can take with you on your escape attempts, and you can learn much more about them by reading our Hades Keepsakes guide.
Why did Hades get sent to the Underworld?
Ancient Greeks believed in Hades, the Underworld and the home of the dead. Accordingly, once a person died, the soul would leave the body, became a shadow of his/her former person and would go to the Underworld [Hades] to be judged. It was the original idea of the ancient Greeks for the afterlife.
Who should I give the Nectar to in Hades?
If you’re just starting out in Hades, we recommend giving Nectar to Skelly and Cerberus early in the game. Their item rewards will give you increased health and an extra revive, which come in handy when learning the ropes. Keepsakes will level up as you complete their challenges, increasing their effectiveness.
