In Hades 2, the romance options for the protagonist Melinoe include four characters: Moros, Icarus, Nemesis, and Eris. These characters offer romantic storylines that players can develop by gifting Nectar, Ambrosia, and participating in activities like visiting the hot springs and fishing. The romance system in Hades 2 is a bit more involved compared to the first game, requiring filling out bond meters and special conditions to advance the romance stages. Other characters in the game may offer platonic or friendly bonds but not full romance options at this stage of the game. Here are the main romanceable characters in Hades 2:
- Moros: One of the male romance options who is affection/starvation motivated.
- Icarus: Another male character with a past connection to Melinoe, noted for a cutesy and tense relationship dynamic.
- Nemesis: Female romance option with a rivals-to-lovers dynamic.
- Eris: Female character also romancable, connected to Melinoe’s story, with a "traitor" aspect.
Other notable characters like Dora and Odysseus appear to have more platonic or ambiguous relationships with Melinoe rather than romance. To progress romances, players must both enter romantic territory by surpassing a Cupid's Arrow mark on the bond meter and fill it out completely using Nectar and especially Ambrosia for later stages. Some romances might also require special prophecies or crafting special items like cocktails. Thus, the confirmed romance options in Hades 2 are Moros, Icarus, Nemesis, and Eris.
