Hades - How to get food as a chamber reward

Here's how to get a food reward: first, the initial spawn has to be the hammer with a Chaos Gate. Then, that Chaos Gate must have 3 exits and they have to be blue laurels. Then, you have to re-roll one of those exits with Fated Authority.
Explanation:
There are only 4 possible rewards in blue laurel rooms: Gemstones, Cthonic Keys, Darkness and Nectar. Since you don't have any Boons because you started with the Daedalus hammer, you cannot get offered Nectar due to the Contractor upgrade that makes Nectars level up one of your Boons. Also, when you re-roll a door, you can't get the same reward twice in a row, and you can't get the same reward that another door already has (Erebus Gates are the exception; I've seen them have the same reward as the door ahead). So, when you try to re-roll one of the three blue laurel gates, the game doesn't know what to offer you, since it can't give you the same reward you just re-rolled out of, and it also can't give you any Nectars, so I guess that triggers a failsafe that makes it spawn food. If you re-roll one of the other doors, it will roll into the reward you rolled out of on the first door, and now you can re-roll the first door back into the reward that the second door had. If you re-roll any of the doors again, you get food again.

Wow. Such a rare set of circumstances that you basically have to go out of your way to find, and Zagreus still has a voice line for it.

this is just a guaranteed way of getting it, I once got it in asphodel (not after a chaos gate), i don't know what I did to trigger it though. It was pretty early in the save file though, that may have had something to do with it.

It isn't a unique voice line -- it's reused from one of the possible lines Zag has when finding food in pots via Dusa's keepsake.

Wow. TIL that Hades has a food room despite having played hundreds of hours of this game on multiple platforms. And wow how can you play with a mouse and keyboard??? Respect 💯

I'm used to playing MOBAs, so making Hades control similar to a MOBA felt more natural to me. It also lets me do some wacky stuff like beating Hades using nothing but the right-click button: czcams.com/video/r5E-8X_0Ej8/video.html

You can also see the food room very early in the game before hammer and certain gods' boon rooms are added to the pool. I saw it when I replayed the game and got to asphodel on the very first run, one of those 3-exit rooms had food as the option. It basically shows up when there's no other more interesting option.

i had a run today i started with dionysus boon and went instantly to chaso chamber where i found legendary boon that gives u 1 death defience (i had the 1 death defience per room upgrade active) and the chamber i think had 3 exits (i don't remember)
i wanted to roll for nectar so i can upgrade my dionysus boon but i found food i dunno if it was an accident or not but yeah
that happened i guess

Maybe it has something to do with how much life you have left.

[@Pr1est0fDoom]

No, it doesn't.
