What is Boons in Hades 2?
In Erebus, each god has its own special symbol. You'll spot these symbols on gates as you journey through the land. When you complete challenges, you'll be given a choice of three blessings from that god as a reward. These blessings come in different levels of rarity and you can only choose one at a time.
Equip a god's Keepsake to boost your chances of getting their blessing and to upgrade its rarity. Offer Nectar to earn Keepsakes from each god, but do so before choosing their blessing or their symbol will vanish. You can also enhance your blessing's quality by consuming a Pom of Power, resembling a pomegranate, found in doorways or Charon's shop.
