Hades - Cthonic Gods Favors (Max bond requirements)

Chtonic Gods are Gods that you meet in your base (House of Hades) and you will have to progress most of them to get certain rewards such as Chtonic Companions for example. You can find all requirements how to unlock locked bonds for all these Gods. Unlocking hearts after reaching the locked one is called completed some God favor, so down below you can find what the favors are and how to complete them.

Achilles

You need to have purchased the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" Work Order from the House Contractor after purchasing the "Found Chamber, Tartarus". Also note that if you start a propechy, you will probably be locked out of other related ones until you finish what you started (even though the conversations with Gods are random).

You need to complete the "Divided by Death" Prophecy, the one about reuniting Achilles and Patroclus. To unlock it, first give 6 Nectar to both Achilles and Patroclus and make sure you've completed "End to Torment" or "Musician and Muse" Prophecy. You need to keep talking to Achilles and Patroleus until Patroleus mentioned something about "risk it all".

Afterwards, speak with Achilles to obtain the "Divided by Death" Prophecy, which requires you to purchase the "Hero’s Sacrifice" Work Order (5 diamonds) - unlocked by talking to Nyx until she mentioned a contract, which you can then find in the Administrative Chamber. This will allow Achilles to visit Patroclus in Elysium, and complete both of their Prophecies (you need to reach Patrocluc in Elysium to see him and Achilles). If you can't get this one to appear, make sure you complete any other connected prophecies with mentioned characters to progress, but it's very random to activate the specific conversation with Achilles.

To unlock their bond, keep talking to Achilles and Patroleus afterwards until you do so.

Alecto

No favor nor bonds.

Cerberus

Pet Cerberus at least 20 times.

Charon

Spend at least 10,000 gold in his shops. You can find him in the shop area during your escape attempts.

Chaos

Check details under "Nyx".

Dusa

Like all Gods, keep gifting her until you reach the locked bond heart level, then complete the "A Place of Revelry" prophecy.

To trigger the prophecy, simply talk to Dusa enough and progress the storyline regarding the Lounge area. You will need to buy 12 different Lounge upgrades (so, you can't just buy 3 rugs, that counts as 1), plus the ones for diamons (house service ones). Fulfill the propechy and keep talking to her to unlock the bond.

If you keep talking to Nyx, eventually Dusa will come back, and eventually she will ask of you (after talk in your room, in private) if you want Ambrosia you gifted her back. Say to accept politely, it doesn't change anything and you will need Ambrosia.

Eurydice

Check under "Orpheus" for details.

Hades

You can only give him 1 Nectar and continue after you beat the game (10 successful escapes). He will reaward you with his Keepstake when you give him your second nectar.

Hypnos

Like all Gods, keep gifting him until you reach the locked bond heart level. Talk to both Hypnos and Thanatos (while both are in the House of Hades, they even talk with each other for some scenes) enough times to progress the storyline of improving Hypnos’ work ethic/ability. This can take a while, so be patient and talk to him every time you return Home.

Once the storyline is complete, Hypnos' heart will unlock.

Megaera

Like all Gods, keep gifting her until you reach the locked bond heart level. Once you encounter Megaera enough times while escaping Tartarus, a cutscene will appear where Megaera will talk to Zagreus in his room. After the second cutscene in your room, the heart should unlock and now you can max out your bond level with her.

Nyx

You need to have purchased the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" Work Order from the House Contractor after purchasing the "Found Chamber, Tartarus". Also note that if you start a propechy, you will probably be locked out of other related ones until you finish what you started (even though the conversations with Gods are random).

Give 6 Nectar to both Nyx and Chaos first. You also need to have access to the Administrative Chamber (Buy "Administrative Privilege" Work Order when you unlock it).

Afterwards, speak to Nyx until she asks of you to upgrade the Eldest Sigil located in the Administrative Office. This will unlock the "Eldest Sigil Restoration" Work Order (Costs 3142 Darkness shards).

After you purchase it, she will go towards Chaos, meet them there, and then you can go to the desk in Zagreaus’ room to complete the "Night and Darkness" Prophecy. You can now keep talking to Nyx and Chaos until you unlock their locked heart.

Orpheus

You need to have purchased the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" Work Order from the House Contractor after purchasing the "Found Chamber, Tartarus". Also note that if you start a propechy, you will probably be locked out of other related ones until you finish what you started (even though the conversations with Gods are random).

Finish the "Musician and Muse" prophecy to unlock the trophy. You need to reunite Orpheus and Eurydice (she is in the second lava area, if you enter the "!" room when you get it as an option).

The first step is to buy "Court Musician's Sentence" work order (Reach Asphodol area at least once, purchase "Fountain Chamber, Tartarus" work order from the House Contractor, purchase "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" work order from the House Contractor). Now you also need to give nectars to both of them until you reach the locked heart icon (check with L1, but 5 should be enough for both), and you need Orphes to sing the song the Eurydice is singing when you enter her area. To make this happen, talk to Orpheus and buy the "Pool, Scrying" work order (1 diamond), "Court Music Stand" work order (1 diamond), and encounter Eurydice enough times and give her enough Nectar so that she gives you sheet music when you meet her (this could be covered with the above step, if she is at max, keep talking to her on your runs).

Now, when you hear Orpheus sing "Good Riddance" (the song from Eurydice), you need to talk to Euridyce twice (so, 2 different run), plus Nyx (she needs to talk about Administrative Chamber) and Hades about Orpheus' contract (found in the Administrative chamber, get it from there). That will finally unlock the prophecy needed for the trophy. Now buy the "Singer's Gamble" work order (3 diamonds), complete the prophechy and visit Euridyce where she will be with Orpheus.

To unlock their max bond, keep talking to them (it will happen when they appear separate, not together).

Patroclus

Check under "Achilles" for details.

Persefone

Keep talking to her and fulfill her epilogue prophecies (check under trophy guide for details).

Sisyphus

You need to have purchased the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" Work Order from the House Contractor after purchasing the "Found Chamber, Tartarus". Also note that if you start a propechy, you will probably be locked out of other related ones until you finish what you started (even though the conversations with Gods are random).

Sisyphus can be found in "!" rooms in the first areas prior to the first boss during your runs. Finish his "End of Torment" prophecy, or if we translate this - you need to help him escape from his builder punishment (poor guy). Start by giving him 6 Nectars. You also need to unlock Administrative Chamber (Buy "Administrative Privilege" Work Order when you unlock it). Talk with him every time until he introcudes his "Bouldy" companion, and then talk to his boulder at least once (yeah, you can do that).

Next step is to talk to Hades, Megaera, Nyx (they need to talk about his punishment), but you also need to speak with Nyx until he speaks about the Administrative Chamber (after you unlock it of course). You will find the document about Sisyphus' contract inside afterwards. Then you can complete the "Knave-King’s Sentance" Work Order for 4 diamonds (appears when you do the above steps).

To unlock their max bond, keep talking to him in his room.

Skelly

Like all Gods, keep gifting him until you reach the locked bond heart level, then "kill" Skelly with a Level 5 Aspect of Zagreus Stygian Blade (sword).

Tisiphone

No favor nor bonds.

Thanatos

Like all Gods, keep gifting him until you reach the locked bond heart level. This one is very random. You need to beat him during his encounters and talk to him afterwards at Home. Eventually he will comment about how Zagreus is strong enough and during an encounter with him you should complete his favor. Keep doing these 2 steps until you do, it can be a bit frustrating since it's random.
