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.

Scan the World is an open source, community effort, if you have interesting items around you and would like to contribute, find out how you can help.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. Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free. In the catabasis mytheme, heroes – such as Heracles, Orpheus, Aeneas, Theseus, Sisyphus, Dionysus, Odysseus and Psyche – journey to the underworld and return, still alive, conveyed by the boat of Charon. Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee, or those whose bodies were left unburied, had to wander the shores for one hundred years. A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person. Charon is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.
