- Level 3 – +100 Health

- Level 2 – 4 Hits
- Level 3 – 5 Hits
3. Lambent Plume
This Keepsake is given to you by Hermes and gives you a couple of different bonuses.

- Level 2 – +1.1%
- Level 3 – +1.3%
4. Pom Blossom
This Keepsake is given to you by Persephone, and levels up a random Boon that you’ve already acquired every time you survive an encounter. For each level the Keepsake raises, fewer encounters will be needed for the Keepsake’s ability to activate.

- Level 3 – Activates after 4 encounters
5. Owl Pendant
This Keepsake is given to you by Athena and increases your chances of Athena’s Boons being rare or better, in addition to making sure your next Boon encounter will be with Athena. With each level the Keepsake increases, so does the chance for the Boons to have a higher rarity.
