GEAR

Keepsakes

Give Nectar to an NPC to receive their Keepsake — an equippable trinket you can swap at the start of each biome for a powerful edge.

Standouts

  • Old Spiked Collar (Cerberus) — bonus max health; a great early survival pick.
  • Lucky Tooth (Skelly) — a free extra Death Defiance for the run.
  • God keepsakes (e.g. Thunder Signet from Zeus) — guarantee that god's Boon from the first chamber.
  • Swap keepsakes between biomes: a fishing keepsake early, a combat one for the boss.
