Engraved Pin is a Keepsake in Hades 2. Engraved Pin allows players to fight for a short time after dying, and even may revive them if there are no more foes around. Keepsakes can be equipped by Melinoe at the start of a run, and grant a passive benefit to that run. Players have to give Nectar to NPCs in order to be able to unlock Keepsakes. 

How to Get Engraved Pin in Hades 2

• In order to obtain Engraved Pin, players have to obtain Nectar and give it to Moros. In return, they will receive Engraved Pin.
• NPCs only give a Keepsake the first time you give them Nectar. If you give Nectar repeatedly to the same NPC you will not receive more Keepsakes.
• Nectar can be found in rooms that have its icon on the door
• Nectar can also be purchased from the Wretched Broker, only one per run can be acquired.

Hades 2 Engraved Pin Keepsake Guide

• Once you give Nectar out to a NPC for the first time, you will find a glass showcase, in the last area before starting a run, near the Nocturnal Arms area. Interact with it to check your available Keepsakes. 
• Players have to equip Keepsakes to start using them. Melinoe can equip 1 active Keepsake at a time. If players select a second Keepsake while interacting with the Keepsakes menu, it will replace the first one. When checking the Keepsake's showcase in the corresponding area, just click on the one you want to equip it. A golden frame will indicate which Keepsake has been selected.
• Keepsakes, unlike Boons, are permanent and WILL NOT be lost upon Death. Once unlocked, they will remain unlocked on that save.
