Players are recommended to provide Charon with at least a single Nectar as this will provide the player with his Keepsake, the Bone Hourglass, which becomes very useful for Artifact grinds.Įssentially the Bone Hourglass will increase the duration of all items that are sold at the Well of Charon and while these items are not usually used for progression content, unless a player is very lucky with their rolls, it does come in very handy for players who are looking to multiply how many Artifacts they pick up.Ĭharon has a total of 7 Hearts to fill with Affinity, though players are encouraged to avoid doing this too early so they can focus on gods who provide them with Companions instead.Ĭharon has an easy favour request that players do not have to focus on and instead can simply play the game in order to acquire it.

Much like many of the other gods in the game, players can also gain Affinity with Charon. Note: Watch me play Hades and similar games on Twitch! Always happy to answer questions there! There comes a time for most players that they will understand which Boons they can regularly rely on, making sure they focus on getting these Boons each time so they don’t need to make any alterations along the way.Ĭharon is a relatively expensive NPC to buy upgrades from, though he also operates Wells of Charon which do not provide players with as drastic of an upgrade, but can still be very useful especially on Artifact runs. I would strongly recommend that players try to avoid using Charon shops along the way as early as possible as long as it doesn’t impede the player’s ability to complete a run successfully.Īt the end of the day, completing a run is going to be the most important part to a player as it will help a player unlock more rare Artifacts (as Bosses on new Heats are guaranteed to drop a rare Artifact), so if ever you think you are struggling, go to Charon. Charon is a bit of a hit and miss kind of NPC in Hades and quite frankly is much better in the early game to visit than in the late game.Įssentially, Charon is the in game shop for players, helping them collect Boons or upgrades along the way, though in the late game, this is going to become a much smaller priority as players will want to save up all of their Charon’s Obol in order to buy the rarest Artifacts at the end of the escape.
