Hades 2 has a lot of roguelite and roguelike elements to help you get a little bit further into the game each time you run through it. If you have made a few runs, you have probably come across the Well of Charon, where you can pick up all sorts of helpful items.

There are a total of 18 possible, randomized items that can pop up in Charon's well, and there are also a variety of other items that Charon himself will sell you. No matter which ones you want to see, you can find both in this article.

How to Earn Gold in Hades 2

Hades-2-All-Well-Of-Charon-Shop-Gold-Coins
A sample shop from Charon in Hades 2.

Similar to the Obols from the first Hades game, players will need to pay Charon in a currency called gold coins. These are not to be confused with Obol Points, which are an entirely different currency altogether. Gold coins can be earned by killing enemies, selecting the coin icon when choosing a door, and can even be dropped from some boons. It appears that all the items in Charon's shop must be purchased with coins and no other currency, though some of this may change if more items are added as Hades 2 goes through Early Access. These gold coins are not kept between runs, though there are some items that allow you to start with a number of Gold Coins.
