Conch Shell is a Keepsake in Hades. Conch Shell is a Keepsake related to the god Poseidon. Equipping this makes it so that the next Boon you find during your run will be from him. While the guaranteed Boon only happens once for the entire run, the increased chance for rarer Poseidon Boons will apply as long as this Conch Shell is equipped. Conch Shell is acquired after giving Nectar to Poseidon for the very first time. Poseidon can be found in the random rooms of the Underworld by interacting with encounter rewards that carry the
symbol.

Hades Conch Shell Keepsake Guide
- The Keepsakes cabinet can be found in Zagreus' room in the House of Hades, and in the Courtyard where you'll find the Infernal Arms.
- Players have to equip Keepsakes to gain their effects. Zagreus can equip 1 active Keepsake and 1 Legendary 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 cabinet 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.
- You can only switch between Keepsakes mid-run after completing the work order "Keepsake Collection, Regional" with the House Contractor. Keepsakes can only be switched in safe areas in between Locations or different environments in the Underworld.
