After destroying the three pillars that Charon use to regain health, and weakening him enough, Kratos impales him with Charon's Scythe. ![]() After a short battle, however, Charon knocks Kratos unconscious and throws him into the depths of Tartarus.Īfter Kratos obtains the Gauntlet of Zeus and escapes Tartarus, he once again encounters Charon. Upon arrival, the ferryman refuses to give Kratos passage, as he is still living, so the two of them fight for the control of the ship. Kratos comes to Charon's docks upon the River Styx. It appears that Charon despises his job as ferryman, as he tells Kratos. As a weapon, he carries a large, deadly scythe, which he also uses as a walking stick. He wears dark robes with several decapitated heads attached to them, and a golden mask covering his skull-like face. In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Charon is depicted as a tall, gaunt man with pale skin. It's also possible that he was a demigod, but still a mortal, like the Jailer of Tartarus, and that after he died, he served Hades and Persephone for the rest of eternity. Since Charon's past was never mentioned or revealed in the Series, it's possible that, in the God of War Mythos, Charon would have been a very powerful being, like the other Primordials, but would have died in the war, making him become the undead ferryman seen in Chains of Olympus. Even his powers in Chains of Olympus seem to come from Persephone, and not from himself. Albeit having enough power to knock out Kratos once, he doesn't seem to be powerful enough to have participated in this war and survived it. It's unknown if Charon took part in the war of the Primordials. Those who are dying place a gold coin under their tongue or over their eyes so that their souls would have a coin in order to pay the ferryman.Ĭharon does not actually appear in this game but can be considered a Primordial being (although not necessarily a god), since he's a son of Nyx. In order to board the ferryman's boat a dead soul must pay Charon with a gold coin in order to go on board, otherwise, the soul has to wander the docks as a beggar and pray for anyone to give him/her a spare coin. In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman of the Underworld who ferried the souls of the dead across the rivers of Styx and Acheron which separated the world of the living from the world of the dead. ![]()
