After that, the following are a few ways to get Nectar in Hades 2:

  • Encounter reward: Get Nectar as a reward in Encounters across all regions after every run. However, it is quite uncommon, which means it should not be expected all the time.
  • Kinship Fortune: Cast this incantation to possibly get a single bottle of Nectar.
  • Wretched Broker: Cast the Kinship Fortune Incantation to be able to purchase a Nectar for 30 Bones per visit to the Wretched Broker at the Crossroads post-run. It's available once per night.
  • Charon: Charon sometimes offers Nectar during your runs for 75 gold.
  • Harbinger of Doom: Complete the Harbinger of Doom Minor Prophecy quest from the Fated List to receive one Nectar.

While it is certainly beneficial to boost your affinity with the potent mythological entities in Hades 2, it would be considered rather unwise to exhaust all your gold reserves on Nectar.
