'''Ambrosia''' is one of several [[Artifacts|Artifact]] currencies that can be earned within the Underworld. Along with [[Diamond|Diamonds]] and [[Titan Blood]], they are a resource obtained via bounties. It is primarily used as a special gift for those who have deepened bonds with [[Zagreus]]. Most characters are eventually able to be gifted Ambrosia. However, there are a few who cannot: [[Bouldy]], [[Hades]], and those unable to be gifted [[Nectar]]. A few characters, upon receiving their first Ambrosia from Zagreus, will return the favor with a [[Companion]].
 
 
Ambrosia can also be used to increase the effectiveness of a Companion, giving it more uses per escape attempt. In addition, it can be used to purchase two themes - Lovely and Sonorous - from the [[House Contractor]].
 
 
A total of 10 Ambrosia can be traded to the [[Resource Director]] at various ranks to rank up.
 
 
==Codex entry==
 
{{Codex|... Mortals must regularly nourish themselves with food and drink merely to stave off death. The gods of Olympus have no such fear, and consume only for sake of tradition or revelry. They have access to all the splendors and delicacies the world has to offer, yet they favor one, in particular. And only very rarely does it make its way down here, into this realm. Ambrosia's savor simply cannot be described; so I am told. Some say its qualities adapt to the imbiber, tasting of whatever is the richest, most delicious substance their mind can imagine. Others say it gains its potency once transferred to another through a selfless act of giving.}}
 
 
== Ambrosia Uses==
 
Ambrosia is used to:
 
 
* Increase your affinity with other characters (56 {{Ambrosia}} to max out everyone)
 
*Increase the rank of [[Companions|Chthonic Companions]] (10 {{Ambrosia}} each, 60 {{Ambrosia}} to max out all of them)
 
*Purchase the '''Lovely Theme''' and '''Sonorous Theme''' from the [[House Contractor]] (15 and 10 {{Ambrosia}} each, 25 {{Ambrosia}} together)
 
*Purchase ranks from the [[Resource Director]] (10 {{Ambrosia}} total along with other currencies).
 
*Purchase {{Titan Blood}} from the [[Wretched Broker]] indefinitely
 
 
Fully upgrading all companions, maxing out everyone's Affinity, obtaining all Resource Director ranks (not including non-Ambrosia currencies), and purchasing the Lovely and Sonorous Themes requires a total of 151 {{Ambrosia}}.
 
 
==Obtaining Ambrosia==
 
 
*Ambrosia is primarily earned by beating [[Theseus]] and the [[Asterius|Minotaur]] and collecting a [[Pact of Punishment#Bounties|Bounty]] for escaping [[Elysium]]. (126 {{Ambrosia}} total, 6 {{Ambrosia}} for clearing for the first time with each weapon, and another for the first clear with each weapon on each [[heat]], up to 20 heat for a total of 120{{Ambrosia}})
 
*Ambrosia can be obtained by completing some prophecies from the [[Fated List of Minor Prophecies]]. ( 68 {{Ambrosia}})
 
*Ambrosia can be traded for 2 [[Diamond|Diamonds]] at the [[Wretched Broker]] (it can also show up in limited deals for a different price).
 
*It's possible to obtain Ambrosia by turning in a Bass to the [[Head Chef]] in the lounge (See [[Fishing]]).
 
 
A total of 194 {{Ambrosia}} can be obtained from defeating bosses and fulfilling prophecies.
 
 
==Additional Notes==
 
Ambrosia was added in patch 032. Prior to that patch, [[Nectar]] had been known as Ambrosia.
