Charon Quotes[]
This details the quotes, as little as there may be, between the Stygian Boatman, Charon.
Conversations With Zagreus[]
Charon 'talks' with Zagreus, if just a bit. He's not exactly good at speaking, but Zagreus seems to understand him to a degree.
Charon: "Gguhhhhhh..."
Zagreus: "Why good to see you, Charon mate! Just minding my own business, taking in the sights, and, sure is awfully convenient running into you like this! I'd all this coin I wanted to get rid of."
- The first time speaking with Charon.
Zagreus: "Good to see you out here mate! And it looks as though you've got some fine wares up for sale, don’t you?"
Charon: "Urrrnngghhhh…"
Charon: "Haahhhhh…"
Zagreus: "Fine day to you as well there mate! Now let's have a look at your supply shall we?"
Zagreus: "Hey Charon, if there happens to be something really horrible awaiting me beyond that door there then… give me a sign won't you?"
Charon: "Hhhaaaaaaahhh…"
- Chamber before Fury fight.
Zagreus: "Care to provide me insight as to just what sort of hideous monstrosity awaits me over on the next infernal island, Charon mate?"
Charon: "Hheeehhhhhh….."
- Chambers in Asphodel
Zagreus: "Charon Mate, now hypothetically if I provided you with say, a thousand coins, would you be willing to give me a ride in your beautiful boat? Upriver I should say, specifically."
Charon: "Nrrnnhhh, hhnnn, hrnnn, hrnnnn…............"
Zagreus: "I had to ask."
Zagreus: "Charon, mate..? I don’t suppose you’ve given any further though to my proposal to just, you know…ferry me up to the surface? Seeing as it's not out of your way."
Charon: "Rhhuuaaaauugghhhh…."
Zagreus: "I'll take that as a no."
Zagreus: "You must have a lot of stops around these parts don't you Charon mate. Most of the dead are here in Asphodel correct?"
Charon: "nnnnrrhhhh…."
Zagreus: "Hey Charon, I'm in Asphodel now, aren't I? I'd always heard this was some sort of flower-covered meadow type place, not such a…terrifying hellscape."
Charon: "hhhaaaaaahhh…."
Zagreus: "Hi Charon! I finally met Hermes, god of swiftness, travel, bringing souls of the departed to your boat. Calls you his professional associate. You and he, you've been working together for a while, haven't you?"
Charon: "Hrrrrnnghhhhhhhhh….:
Zagreus: "You don't say."
Zagreus: "Tell Hermes hey for me."
- Upon leaving shop, no response.
Zagreus: "Charon, I always thought Olympians never consorted with Chtonic gods such as yourself. But it sounds like Hermes is a close colleague of yours. You wouldn't…happen to know why he's helping me, would you?"
Charon: "Grrhhoooaaahhhhhh..!"
Zagreus: "I'm sorry mate i meant you no offense."
Zagreus: "Charon, Hermes told me that the other Olympians are unaware he's been lending his support to me. I'm curious to know what's going on. I'm thinking of asking Nyx. Figured I'd check with you first. "
Charon: "Mmnnnrraaauuugggghhh!!"
Zagreus: "I'll…keep it to myself from now on, thanks!"
Zagreus: "Well, look at you Charon mate, you're looking well! Something's different about you, can't quite put my finger on it. Have you done something with your hair?"
Charon: "Urrraaaaauuhgggghhh"
Charon: "Hhhrrhhhh… hhrrnn…. Hrrrrhhhhh..."
Zagreus: "I'm pleased to have you as a friend as well, Charon. The pleasure's mine."
Gifting Nectar[]
Nectar 1[]
Zagreus: "Charon, you've been such a reassuring sight I thought I'd offer you a token of my gratitude."
Charon: "Hrrrhhroooohh, hnnnn…."
Zagreus: "Wait you don’t have to give me something in return, it was a gift! Though, you're insisting aren't you."
Nectar 2[]
Charon: "Hohhh….."
Zagreus: "Glad you like it mate. Thank you for helping me out with your supply. Even if you fleece me with those prices."
Nectar 3[]
Charon: "Hrrnnn…?"
Zagreus: "You enjoy that mate! And, when it comes time to reconsider your price structure, hope you think of me!"
Nectar 4[]
Charon: "Hrrn, hhmmmmmm hmmmmmm…."
Zagreus: "Enjoy it, Charon mate! Don't go thinking I'm just being kind to get you to lower your prices for me, that would be unconscionable!"
Nectar 5[]
Charon: "Hrroooooooohhhh…"
Zagreus: "You know, I thought you'd say that Charon mate, but I insist you take it and enjoy it all right?"
Nectar 6[]
Zagreus: "Charon, mate? As a long time customer, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for your invaluable service as a part of my repeated attempts at getting out of here. What would I have done without your wares all these many times? Besides dying a lot faster."
Charon: "Hrrnngghh, grhhh, grhaaaaaaahhhh....."
Nectar 7 (Final)[]
Zagreus: "Charon, I realize you have a very busy schedule and certainly needn't keep going out of your way for me like this, so here. Just a small token of my appreciation for you. If you ever want to talk, know that I'm here."
Charon: "Hrrrnnnnnn…! Thhhrrrrrrrnnnn...kkrrrrrhhhh...!"
Conversations about Charon[]
Zagreus: “Mother, one thing I was wondering about was, how did you summon Charon to your surface residence? Especially without, you know, being dead.”
Persephone: “Oh, why… he gave me his calling card after he graciously helped get me out of here the first time. No doubt at Nyx’s request, but still. Never thought I’d use it, but… I still kept it. Just in case.”
Zagreus: “No idea what a calling card is, but, OK!”
