Quick Links
InHades 2, similar to its predecessor, Melinoe can give gifts to the fellow inhabitants of The Crossroads and the gods they meet on their journey in the Underworld to reach Chronos. Aspecial item called Bath Saltscan also be given to some of the NPCs to raise their friendship levels; however, as far as early access goes, it seems you may only give Bath Salts and invite people to theCrossroads Hot Springsif they are staying at the Crossroads themselves.
So far, we’ve only been able to give Bath Salts to the following characters:Odysseus,Dora,Hecate,Nemesis,Moros, andEris. Of course, this might change as we play more and the developers add more content leading up to the eventual 1.0. launch.
Hades 2: How to Get Bath Salts and Unlock the Hot Springs
Rite of Vapor-Cleansing
The first thing you’ll need to do to unlock the Crossroads Hot Springs is to keep playingHades 2until theRite of Vapor-Cleansing Incantationappears at the cauldron in front of Hecate’s usual spot. Performing the chant will let you invite guests to the hot springs and give Melinoe a single serving of Bath Salts.
To do the Incantation, you’ll need two Moly, two Lotus', and two N-Shades. You can find Lotus' in Oceanus;Moly is in Erebus; N-Shades can be grown using Nightshade Seeds.
Bath Salts
To get more Bath Salts, you can purchase them (while supplies last) at the Wretched Broker shop at the Crossroads. You can also dig them up using the Silver Spade (shovel tool) in different regions.
Who to Give Bath Salts to?
Ok, so most of the NPCs at the Crossroads will be happy to take Bath Salts as a gift and join Melinoe for a steamy bath, but not everyone will partake in the activity right from the get-go. In our experience, Nemesis needs at least three regular gifts (Nectar) before she feels comfortable taking the Bath Saltsfrom Melinoe.
And if you do happen to give someone Bath Salts, a short conversation will take place at the Hot Springs, with unique character art for Melinoe and her bathing pals. For now, you’re able to give Bath Salts to Odysseus, Dora, Hecate, Nemesis, Eris, and Moros.
Below, we have thefirst Hot Springs scenes for eachHades 2characterwe’ve managed to give Bath Salts to.
