How to progress Hypnos's favor?

Sleepy boy is everything that holds me from 100%. I got him an autograph from Asterius, did about 10-12 runs and now i'm stuck.

Hypnos is notoriously tedious to get max favor with, primarily because it requires several conversations with Thanatos, who's rarely available. And a lot of unrelated dialogue seems to have priority over the conversations that progress his favor, so it can seem like you're stuck for a long time. It took me dozens of runs to finally get the last relevant conversation to trigger after everything else was done.

If you're curious about what conversations you're looking for, they're described here: https://hades.fandom.com/wiki/Hypnos#Favor

Some sources claim that you also need to buy the tombs upgrade for the Great Hall and hear a conversation regarding it, but I've seen that disputed. I had already done that long before reaching max favor, so I'm not sure whether it's required.

Thanks for your response with all the details.
So basically, i just have to keep playing and hope for the best, huh?
Also, what's a tombs upgrade? Pretty sure i got it, but i can't put my finger on it.

Yeah, all you can really do is keep doing runs. If you really want to get it done as quickly as possible, you can intentionally die after Thanatos encounters so that you can get back to the House of Hades and talk to him immediately.

Oh, and I just remembered this post I came across when I was stuck on this. I didn't end up utilizing it because I didn't want to throw runs, but it seems like it could really help if your only concern is getting Hypnos to max favor: https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/jia771/very_unofficial_guide_to_spawning_thanatos/

The upgrade is called "Tombs, Royal" and adds decorative tombs in the floor of the entry hallway where Hypnos is. It triggers a conversation between Hypnos and Dusa, if I remember correctly, wherein it's mentioned that the tombs scare the shades and keep the check-in line moving faster.

Buy him a couch to sit on from the House Contractor, that's what did it for me at least
