Keepsakes and Companions

Keepsakes

Keepsake is like an accessory item that provide a boost to a specific stats or even grand a unique ability. Some of them provide a much better stats but has a negative effect. Some can force the next boon to be a specific god.

To be honest, only a handful of them are useful. Here are some of my recommendations:

  • Olympian God boons are handy when you first your escape because it will force the very first boon to be whatever god you want to go with.
  • Pom Blossom: you'll get free upgrade every 4 encounters for a random boon. Buying an upgrade from Charon is costly.
  • Broken Spearpoint: useful at higher regions because it'll help reduce the damage from consecutive attacks. Basically, you'll only take the damage for the first hit, then for the next 1.5sec you are invulnerable.

Companions

Companion is another accessory that grand you additional unique skill depending on the companion itself.

The best campion in my opinion is Battie. Mort deals more damage but has a delay when casting and enemies can move away from the area.

UNLOCK: Keep giving Nectar and Ambrosia to respective characters until you fully bond with them, they'll give the Companions.
