Hades 2: What Are Obol Points & How to Use Them

Hades 2 masterfully builds upon the original game not only by making small improvements to all of the different gameplay mechanics but also by adding some brand new features and systems, which can be found inside and outside of your runs. The game has a ton of new and different resources that can be gathered, each with a unique way of enhancing Melinoe and making your future runs a lot more manageable. There are many meta-systems in the game, from the incantations in the cauldron to the different Arcana Cards that you can use, and making use of each of them is going to get you closer and closer to defeating Chronos.

One of these new resources is called Obol Points, and since they were not present in the original game, some fans of the series might be confused about how they work and how you can use them. Here is everything you need to know about Obol Points in Hades 2!

Hades 2: What Are Obol Points?

Obol Points in Hades 2 are a new currency that can be used to order supplies from Charon, Ferryman of the Underworld. You can earn an Obol Point each time you spend 1,000 gold in Charon's shop. You can reach this threshold across different runs, so you don't need to actively play around it; think of it as a way to have some passive income during your playthrough. Your Obol Points can be found in the 'Indulgences' section of your inventory, and you can also see how much gold you need to spend in order to earn another one.

Once you have spent 1,000 Gold in Charon's shop over your different runs, you are going to be able to be able to have a conversation with him, which will end in him rewarding you an Obol Point. When your run ends, you are going to find him in the Crossroads main hub speaking with Hecate, and this will unlock a new interactable box next to the river, called Charon's Stash. Each time you visit this stash, there is going to be a certain amount of resources available to purchase, and you can use your Obol Points to make an order.

Once you order these resources, they are going to arrive after a certain amount of time, so make sure to start a new run and check back later.
