Hades 2 Keepsakes, ranked

This is, in my opinion, the best to the worst of the Keepsakes in Hades 2 ranked. However, everyone’s playstyle differs, so if you disagree, sue me. As I discover more Keepsakes in Hades 2, I’ll continue to add them. After all, the game is still in early access, there could always be more to come.

A few notes on Keepsakes

Each Keepsake can be ranked up in Hades 2, meaning if you have worked with one for a while, it will end up better than the original. If you find that you like one in particular, it is always worth sticking with it as you smash through a few more runs. It’ll only get better. It will take about 25 runs to level up once, and 50 more to get to the highest level.

Each Keepsake in Hades 2 can only be acquired by talking to the NPC marked in the brackets. If you haven’t met them yet, you just need to keep driving through those levels until you do. When you meet one you don’t have the gift from yet, make sure you have some Nectar to hand to get the new Keepsake.
