“ | Hey boss, found you, good. Hermes, at your service. Pleasure! You are the talk of Olympus! Normally I wouldn't get mixed up, but for you, I will be making an exception. Now, come on, we both got places to be! | „ |
~ Hermes |
Hermes is the Olympian God of commerce, trickery, and travel, as well as the messenger of the gods and conductor of souls into the afterlife (called a psychopomp). He offers boons that enhance Zagreus's speed in various ways. His boons can also improve Zagreus's dash and cast recovery.
Hermes is one of five Olympian gods (the other four being Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon and Aphrodite) who will not appear in the very first run of a save.
Affinity
If given Nectar, Hermes will give you the Lambent Plume.
Hermes' affinity gauge is maxed out at 8 hearts.
Favor
Hermes' favor requires speaking with him while having the Lambent Plume equipped and max leveled to 3*. It does not matter how many stacks of its bonus you have.

Boons
Boons from Hermes function slightly differently to other Olympians. None of his boons occupy Attack, Special, Cast, Dash, or Call slots, as they are designed to be mixed with and support other gods' boons. In addition, none of Hermes' boons can be enhanced with a Pom of Power.
His boons are in a different item pool than other Olympian boons for the purposes of Fated Authority and Charon's shop. His boon can take priority in appearance even if one equips other gods' keepsake. Additionally, his boons will never spawn as the first chamber's reward or in mini-boss encounters. You can only obtain up to three of his boons in one run - with the third only available in Charon's shop in the Temple of Styx - and he never appears in a Trial of the Gods.

Additional notes
Hermes seems to be the only Olympian God that Zagreus actively interacts with that knows that Zagreus is continually "failing" to get out of the Underworld. How he attained this information is unknown, but could be attributed to his speed and access to Charon on a normal basis. He also states that he is fine with keeping the information secret, possibly due to his "God of Trickery" nature.
