The Sigil of the Dead. IMAGE: Hades Wiki.
As we said above the Sigil of the Dead is a keepsake given to Zagreus by his father, and the game's final boss, Hades, but differently from other NPCs in the game, giving him Nectar proves to be a little trickier than most, after all, after killing each other a few hundreds of times, relationships tend to get a little awkward.
With that said, to get the Keepsake you will have to get past that awkward stage and give him 2 bottles of Nectar, something you will only be able to do after beating him in a duel at least 10 times and unlock the game's true ending. Easy, right?

The Keepsake also allows him to start battles with his god gauge already partially full, going from 10% to 30%.
Differently from the other keepsakes, Sigil of the Dead has two distinct effects, since after using it at max gauge Zagreus becomes Unseen, a state in which turn him invisible for 5 seconds, increasing his damage drastically and enhancing his speed.
