This requires you to fully max out a persons relationship bar. The first few require nectar to upgrade, but at a certain point you need to use ambrosia. Some characters will need several conversations before they allow you to continue increasing their bond (indicated by a locked heart in the codex).
The easiest choices would be a chthonic god in the house, as you will most likely see them more than a character in the run. For example, just give Achilles a nectar after every run and continuously talk to him. Eventually, you’ll have a “cutscene” where you go the lounge and drink together. Afterwords he’ll allow you to continue your relationship, and just give him ambrosia after every run until the meter is maxed out.
You can check your progress by opening the codex and seeing how many empty heart containers are on a character

Yeah just try to do it with one of the gods who can give you a companion to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Does Dusa count to this? Because I have all hearts with her but the cheevo didnt pop.
Edit: after 2-3 run dusa will talk to you and then the bond happens

The easiest character to forge a bond with would be Skelly. Though ThePuffyPenguin is correct in that doing this with one of the characters in the House of Hades is a more consistent strategy than doing this with one of the characters you meet during runs, most of them will be missing from the House every now and again; the only character that doesn’t do this at random is
Skelly is the exception, he will always show up in the room where you start your runs. To forge a bond with him, you will need 6 Nectar and 3 Ambrosia. After you’ve given him 6 Nectar, you will need to fulfil a favour in order to start giving him Ambrosia. The conditions regarding that are below (and censored for those that want to simply stumble into it).

This trophy requires you to completely max out any character's Affinity Gauge and complete their personal Favor quest. See all the way below for two easy ones to do.
Every character in the game has their own Affinity Gauge, which you can see on their Codex entry, represented by a list of hearts. To increase your bond with them, you need to give them gifts of Nectar, but you can only give 1 at a time, each time you see them. For the Gods who are located in the House, you can give them 1 Nectar every time you return from a run. For the Olympians, who you only see during runs, you can give them Nectar when you come across their Boons, prior to accepting the Boons, and same goes for Chaos. Lastly, you can give 1 Nectar to the other Gods you come across during runs (Charon, Euridice, etc.) if you see them during your escape attempt. Important Note: You can only give any person 1 Nectar per run, even if you see them multiple times, so make sure you give them Nectar every opportunity you have.
However, Olympian Gods do not work for this trophy. This is because Olympians only have 1 set of hearts. Once you've given them a certain number of Nectars, you've maxed them out. For all the other characters, this is not the case; they have two sets, split between a locked heart. After you've given them enough Nectar to reach the locked heart, if you've reached their personal requirements, you'll be given a personal side-quest called their "Favor" quest. You'll know it's their quest as it will give you a new prophecy to complete it. Do whatever their quest requires, and it will unlock the heart and allow you to continue working on their Affinity Gauge, but this time, you'll need to give them Ambrosia instead of Nectar. There will be just 3 more hearts to fill with gifts of Ambrosia, and once you've given the last one and maxed out the gauge, the trophy will pop as you will have now forged a bond with them!
When you've forged a bond with the character, you'll notice a small, cute chibi icon of them on their Keepsake when equipping it from the Keepsake display case.
Skelly is one of the easiest to do and parts of it are also required for a few other trophies in the game. Plus, you'll need to do it for his Chthonic Companion for Complete Set
anyway. Charon is also another easy one.
SKELLY'S FAVOR QUEST & COMPANION:
First, to get his Favor quest, you'll need to have maxed out the first section of his Affinity Gauge at 6 Hearts and you'll also need to have unlocked any 4 weapon Aspects other than Zagreus Aspects. Once you've got that, the next time you speak to him, he'll give you his quest. It's very simple. Level up the Stygius Blade's Zagreus Aspect to Level 5 (max), and then kill Skelly with it. Once you do, the next time you return to the Courtyard after your run, you'll be able to give him Ambrosia. Give him 1 Ambrosia and he'll give you his Chthonic Companion called "Companion Rib". Then just continue giving him Ambrosia until the remaining 3 Hearts are done and his Affinity Gauge is completely maxed out.
CHARON'S FAVOR QUEST:
His is super simple. You'll first need to max his Gauge out at 7 Hearts, after which he'll give you his Favor quest. All you need to do for this one is to spend a total of 10,000 Charon's Obols in his shops over time. That's all!
