In this scene, you’ll head to The Reliquary to meet both Asterion and Hecate, learn a bit about the night Calliope died, and possibly even get to play magical matchmaker as you search for clues. For help at The Reliquary in Stray Gods, we’ve got you covered.
The Reliquary
Talk To Pan To Get The Key To The Reliquary
Either before or afterAphrodite’s Party(the order you do these tasks in doesn’t seem to matter much), you’ll need to gospeak to Panagain, after he sent a calling card to Grace’s Apartment.
SelectTalk to Panfrom the overworld menuof the town, and you’ll be brought to the fantastical home to many of the gods and Idols -Olympus.
you may ask him several questions about Olympus or the Idols and their history, but the gist of this meeting is thatPan needs a favor- the oneyou promised him earlierin exchange for Calliope’s address.
Someone has asked for Pan’s help with romance, but Pan thinks Grace would be of more help. He offers more information about The Reliquary when asked, and you’ll have a chance to flirt with Pan, but choose"I’ll consider it"to move on.

Find Hecate At The Reliquary
Interestingly enough, regardless of who you’ve sided with before, it seems Freddie will always accompany Grace to The Reliquary. We tried having chosen her, chosen Pan, and going it alone, and Freddie came with us every time.
Grace and Freddie enter a shipping container and are transported to The Reliquary. Banter with Freddie a bit about the situation and Hecate overall, and then choose"It doesn’t matter"when given the option to move on.
Once you’ve entered The Reliquary, it doesn’t take long forHecatetonotice Grace and Freddie, and you’ll need to talk your way out of her anger.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to lock yourself out of this scene, but essentially, you need tointroduce yourself as Grace to Hecate.
Hecate tells you thatCalliope wasn’t meant to die yet, not for another several months, and not in the way she died at Grace’s Apartment. And since"the books" are all-knowing and cannot be changed, Hecate is unsure who has the power to operate “outside the realm of fate.”
She offers to help figure out what happened, but warns that it’ll take time. After speaking with Hecate for a moment, you canask to see Asterion, who will come to introduce himself - but seems bashful about wanting to talk. Hecate sees you out after Asterion leaves.
Helping Asterion
After Grace and Freddie are escorted out of The Reliquary,Asterion catches up to you outside -hedoesneed your help, but was hesitant in front of Hecate becausehe needs help to confess his love to Hecate, who he simply calls Kate.

He has information about Calliope, and is willing to share with you if you help with his confession.
you’re able to ask him some probing questions, but move on by choosing"Let’s assume I help you…“and then exhaust all the dialogue options to segue into the song.

Song: “Cast A Spell”
In this song, Grace and Freddie are in the audience while Asterion and Hecate are singing together in something of a Romeo and Juliet balcony scene whileAsterion tries to confess his feelings to Hecate.

Asterion Was At The Reliquary The Night Calliope Died
Regardless of the outcome of the confession, Grace and Freddie leave The Reliquary, and Asterion catches up with them outside tooffer what he knows about the night Calliope died.

Depending on the order in which you’ve done this scene and Aphrodite’s Party, Medusa’s name may already have come up for you. Either way, you’ll be brought back to the main menu after chatting with Asterion - time topay Medusa a visitto see what she knows.
