Charon's Obol
Charon's Obols is one of the currencies in Hades.
Basic information
Obole is one of several currencies which you can find in this underground world. It evens out after the hero dies, so avoid amassing it, and spend it at every opportunity.
Obols can be spent on items in Charon's shop or at his well.
Getting Oboles
This currency can be received as a reward for defeating enemies or for opening hellish treasures. The amount of received Oboles can be increased thanks to Chaos Affluence boon.
Charon's Oboles can also fall out of jugs if you purchase a suitable upgrade.
Nectar
Nectar is one of the currencies appearing in the game.
Basic information
Nectar is one of several currencies you can find in this underground world. It is not removed after the hero's death so collect it as often as you can.
It is used to increase the bond with the encountered characters. Any character to whom you will give the Nectar to will give you a keepsake.
Characters receiving their first Nectar from Zagreus will repay the favor by giving him keepsakes.
