I break down how to find the Legendary Weapons and Legendary Keepsakes aka Companions. Thanks for tuning in!
Guan Yu
The Aspect of Guan Yu is revealed after the following requirements are met:
Purchase the Fated List of Minor Prophecies from the House Contractor
Reach the final boss (defeating the boss is not required)
To meet the unlock requirements while spending the least amount of Titan Blood, invest 5 into 5 different weapons with 1 each in non-Zagreus aspects
Wait for Achilles to tell you how to proceed.
Arthur
The Aspect of Arthur is revealed after the following requirements are met:
Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu (does not need to be unlocked with Titan Blood)
Invest 5 or more into Blade aspects
Wait for Nyx to tell you how to proceed
Beowulf
The Aspect of Beowulf is revealed after the following requirements are met:
Unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu
Invest 5 or more into Shield aspects
Wait for Chaos to tell you how to proceed
Rama
The Aspect of Rama is revealed after the following requirements are met:
Unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu
Invest at least 5 into Bow aspects
Wait for Artemis to tell you how to proceed
Gilgamesh
The Aspect of Gilgamesh is revealed after the following requirements are met:
Unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu
Invest 5 or more into Fist aspects
Wait for Asterius to tell you how to proceed after defeating him (in his chamber)
You likely need to bring the Fists into his fight at least once for him to acknowledge it; he may tell you the command to awaken the Aspect in a subsequent run without using the Fists.
Lucifer
The Aspect of Lucifer is revealed after:
Unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu
Invest 5 or more into Rail aspects
Wait for Zeus to tell you how to proceed
Companion Batty
5 Nectar
Once completing her favor, giving her Ambrosia will earn you the Companion Battie.
Favor
After a random number of encounters with the Furies, Megaera will approach Zagreus in his room. After this interaction, Megaera can receive Ambrosia the next time she is met in the House of Hades.
It is NOT necessary to enable the “Extreme Measures” condition of the Pact of Punishment.
Companion Mort
6 bottles of Nectar
After completing his favor, giving Thanatos Ambrosia will give you Companion Mort in exchange.
Favor
Thanatos’ favor is not mentioned, and acts more as a narrative event between Zagreus and Thanatos.
Beating Thanatos after giving him 6 Nectar
Once Zagreus proves his strength to Thanatos, Thanatos can be given Ambrosia the next time he is encountered in the House of Hades.
Companion Skelly
5 Nectar
Once completing his favor, giving him Ambrosia will earn you the Companion Rib.
Favor
He won’t give you the quest until you’ve unlocked 3 non-Zagreus aspects of weapons. After you’ve done that, the next run he should offer the new quest
He will request that Zagreus kill him with the Stygian Blade, but using its Level 5 Zagreus Aspect (which costs a total of 5 Titan Blood)
Once this has been done, Zagreus will be able to gift him Ambrosia the next time he encounters Skelly in the courtyard.
Completing Skelly’s favor also completes the Eternal Rest prophecy.
Companion Shady
5 Nectar
After completing his favor, giving Sisyphus Ambrosia will give you Companion Shady in exchange.
Favor
Sisyphus’ favor involves lightening his sentence.
This involves speaking to Sisyphus, Megaera and Hades about lightening Sisyphus’s sentence. After doing so, the Knave-King’s Sentence can be purchased from the House Contractor (for 4 ). (You also need to visit nyx for 2+ conversations about sisyphus, who will give you the location of the scroll in the archives)
After this is done, Sisyphus may be given Ambrosia the next time he is encountered in Tartarus.
Completing Sisyphus’ favor also completes the End to Torment prophecy in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies.
Fidi (Dusa)
6 bottles of Necta
Completing the favor and gifting her a bottle of Ambrosia will have her give you Companion Fidi in return.
Favor
Dusa’s favor involves the lounge renovations, which she has fallen behind on doing. Using the House Contractor to complete a minimum of 12 Lounge-focused renovations, which must include at least one rug for the area as well as cleaning up Cerberus’s fur and the scratches he left in the floor. Doing so will complete the A Place of Revelry prophecy and unlock the ability to give Ambrosia to Dusa.
Antos
6 Nectar
gift him Ambrosia, and he will give you the Companion Antos in return
Favor
Part of the Fated List of Minor Prophecies, Achilles’ favor involves finding a way to reunite him with his lifelong companion Patroclus. He will ask Zagreus to alter his pact with Hades to allow him to enter Elysium and see Patroclus. After Zagreus locates the pact with the help of Nyx, it will cost 5 to grant Achilles’ wish at the House Contractor. He will then leave for Elysium, and Zagreus can find him by Patroclus’ side in his resident chamber.
Upon his return to the House of Hades, his affinity gauge will be unlocked

I will start a run to die on purpose in the 1st room to start new interactions with NPCs so I can finish quests quicker
5:55 oh cool! they have a conversation? What kinda conversation?
When you say unlocked Guan Yu do you mean unlock as an option, or do I have to spend blood to actually unlock the thing?
Perfect. I shit you not I've been googling for the last couple days how to unlock them 4th Aspects and haven't found shit. Great work!
This game is amazing! I'm almost 100% done with it. I really hope we see an expansion in the near future! Thanks for this guide too. Helped 😀
i put me zagweapon of the gun up to the max but zeus wont tell me the words…i got allready arthur
snort
Thank you so much! Iv been getting annoyed with Meg for a week now… I couldn’t find anything on the wiki either
so to unlock the aspect of Gilgamesh do you have to have the other aspects maxed out or just five blood used in one or more of the aspects
good video thanks. Now if only I could get through Elisium without being wrecked by those shield dudes and traps in the first chamber.
In order to unlock guan yu, do you need to spend blood on 5 different weapons or do you just need to spend 5 blood on anything?
I unlocked the aspect of gilgamsh for the twin fists but i didnt invest 5 titan blood, i invested 1 only in the aspect of zagreus and i met the bull asteruis alone a lot, then we i got back i said the phrase and it opened the gilgmash twin fists.
May I ask, cuz i beat the last boss using chiron's bow but i cant seem to unlock guan yu. Like why??
I can't even get guyan you to unlock. I have at least 5 blood invested and cleared hades with all weapons. But Achilles does nothing.
I destroyed Hades over 50 times, played 80 hrs, used all weapons fairly evenly but I never got the Guan-yu aspect. At this point I'm glad I spoiled myself a bit. Cheers mate! Thx for the tips.
fantastic stuff. this isnt clear at all in the game haha.
I had to subscribe dude Hades is an amazing roguelike and I love it I play all my roguelikes on my switchlite because I'm in the army so it's perfect for being mobile. But you have by far best hades content keep up the good work dude!!!
I ended up unlocking the aspect of Rama without unlocking the aspect of guan yu. Is this a new change introduced in 1.0?
The Day of Grace is Coming to its End Repent and Live, Says the Lord This is the Final Call
Ohhh.. thank you, Achilles never spoke to me about Guan Yu after 15 successful escapes with the spear, I was sooo done man, I will try again ;-;, I wonder, can we just kill ourselves everytime to speed up the dialogues? I may be too tired to do full runs again
I've been trying to trigger the Dusa quest, but I guess I accidently triggered the Meg one. Thanks 🙂
what are non ZAG weapons? doesnt zag use the weapons so they are all zag weapons?
I cant fuckin understand i need a turkish substictle!
So… “having the Aspect of Guan Yu unlocked”, does it mean I actually need to invest blood in it so I can equip it, or do I just need to finish the quest so it shows up in the weapon selection? Believe it costs 3 and I don’t have much blood left
Man I didn’t even finish a run yet. Probably should do that first before figuring this stuff out yeah? Lol
"Super convoluted."
I mean, it sounds like it's just, spend the time to get all the necessary resources spent, and then talking to them over and over till they give the right quest, then complete that, then talk/resource again, and you get it.
I don't think it's convoluted at all, so much as there's dialogue priorities. Example being the main story > all. So if you escaped to progress the actual story can limit the options for side quests, and inverse that if you died so story doesn't have a progression tick it means a side story can pop. Add into that side stories having priorities as well means one side story can supersede another.
Just wanted to say that I got the legendary aspect Gilgamesh for the fists and I don't have Guan Yu unlocked, I have it available but haven't put any blood into it
Everything I see and here talks about meg using 'a certain number of times'. Is the number known? Even a guess? Is it completely random?
Hmm … I don't have Guan yu but I've got rama and Beowulf. Maybe it does a pity unlock if you're stuck in the Achilles quest for forever
Anyone talk with everyone every time that you die?
Cant get that lucifer aspect. I unlocked Guan Yu and invested around 10 or more into Rail aspects – zeus still tells me nothing, I equip his keepsake and he talks about other things from the first boon…
I'm having trouble getting sisyphus's keepsake. Got all his nectar, but still I'm not seeing the quest dialog. I've done at least 15 runs since but every time I see him its just a short useless dialog not the mission one. Does heat matter? Cuz I'm doing some low heat farming darkness. Maybe that's why it's not happening?
6:00 still can't give her Ambrosia…. she came in my room and broke up with me…but can't gift her anything 🙁
I love this game to death, but I do have to admit I am confused by this questline/sequence stuff. I never really know what triggers what, and once it IS triggered, I don't know how to resolve the quest line so I can do more of them, since you said I can't do other one's while I am in one. What if I'm stuck in one and I don't even know? I managed to get Guan Yu, and now I'm trying to get Dusa's Legendary Keepsake, but I followed your instructions by giving her 6 nectar and talked to her and nothing is happening. I just defeated Hades for the 5th time, is it because I'm in the middle of main story stuff that I can't do side quests? I guess I just don't know how to play this game efficiently for my time's sake, I guess.
I cant upgrade any weapons I have titan heart but where I use them
I have beat hades multiple times and got a bunch of the aspects but I haven't gotten the quest
I hope they add more weapons and gods and stages i need more variety
Ah yes, just like highschool. I give a favored friend some ambrosia and they then aid me in my next fight. Makes sense.
I finally beat hades for the first time last night. Aspect of talos fists were SO good. I also got some insane boons. Aphrodites legendary and one of her duo boons with I think ares. I also got the Demeter cast turret things and all my skills were about level 3-4. I also got lucky with my HP and bought back one of my death defiances so I went into the hades boss fight with 3 death defy uses, and 175 HP.
i just got Guan Yu today! I didn’t even know how I got it lol, can’t wait to get frustrated and burnt out 😀
Pa-tRok-o-luss
I think I broke my bouldy quest by finding mom 🙁 I've definitely started it, but now everyone just wants to talk about her and me and my new job and stuff. It's frustrating
I had absolutely no idea unlocking things in this game was this deep, and I have 40+ hours
Is it necessary to give nectar to any other npcs to trigger quest dialogue or is it only needed to trigger the quest initially?? Rather, if i were only trying to unlock everything and didnt care about all the flavor dialogue, do i need to give nectar to any npcs besides the ones who trigger the quest and give the companion??
Just started playing this game a couple days ago and I’m absolutely in love. The shield and the spear are my favorite weapons rights now. I can beat the bone hydra easily but now elysium is whooping my ass.
It’s crazy how much there is to this game and that it keeps being interesting and fun even after so many escape attempts. I’m currently at about 35 attempts, defeated Hades twice, but feel like I’m only getting started. And I almost gave up playing after about 2 hours.
You should put your twitch link in the description. Found it tho. Good informative vid appreciated the effort not to spoil anything.
I’m not sure if this has been said in the comments yet but you have to wear the fists for Gilgamesh until Asterius comments on someone beating before with the “bare fist method” then any other time you see him after that it doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe me check the wiki
