Nectar from chamber and special rewards

Build a supply for first Keepsake gifts and later affinity progress.

PC / Global release; full base game
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Nectar-marked chamber doors and eligible special rewards during escape attempts; give it to characters at the House or when the game offers an eligible interaction.

Nectar comes from chamber rewards and certain special rewards, including Poseidon’s Sunken Treasure and eligible Infernal Troves. It is useful for gifting to characters, so decide whose Keepsake or relationship progress matters before spending it. Some Nectar can also be traded upward, but that competes with character gifts.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Begin an escape attempt and unlock character gifting at the House.
  • Choose a character whose Keepsake or affinity you want to advance.
  • Keep track of Nectar reserved for gifts before considering a Broker exchange.
  1. Inspect chamber doors and choose one marked with Nectar when relationship progress is your goal.
  2. Clear the encounter and collect the chamber reward.
  3. Check any available Sunken Treasure or eligible Infernal Trove reward during the run.
  4. Continue collecting only while Nectar remains the planned priority.
  5. Return to the House and interact with the character you intend to gift.
  6. Give Nectar, then use the resulting Keepsake or relationship progress as appropriate.

Farming tips

  • A first Nectar gift to most characters grants their Keepsake; later gifts contribute to affinity progress.
  • Nectar has an upward Broker trade, so weigh that exchange against the next character gift you want.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable from eligible chamber and special rewards, though the specific opportunities vary by run.

Common mistakes

  • Spending every Nectar at the Broker before unlocking useful Keepsakes; keep a gift reserve.
  • Expecting every Trove or special reward to offer Nectar; choose from the reward actually presented.
  • Giving Nectar without a target; decide which Keepsake or affinity step is useful next.

When to stop or switch

Pause Nectar targeting when the next planned gift is funded and redirect to the run resource or relationship goal that is currently short.
