Much like its predecessor, inHades 2, Melinoe has various ways to engage with the residents of The Crossroads. These interactions can go a long way if you’re looking to bond with them and maybe even take things a bit further. One such way is to invite them for a much-needed soak to unwind after your numerous failed descents into the underworld.

However, a certain type of Indulgence known as Bath Salts is required for this relaxing experience to take place. Below, you’ll learn the different means of acquiring Bath Salts and how to use it.
