⚔️
Defeat Israel Hands in Foothills
Charon's Obol drops only from this boss. No alternative source has been confirmed.
Gate Item
Charon's Obol
The single item that gates the entire endgame biome. No Obol means no Cursed Marshes. This guide covers drop source, inventory rules, and how to use it.
🎒
Keep the Obol on your character
The Obol travels with the player, not the host world. Do not stash it in shared chests.
🗺️
Sail to the Cursed Marshes gate
The gate is marked on the world map after defeating Israel Hands. Bring a Brigantine or stronger.
🪙
Consume the Obol at the gate
Interact with the gate to consume the Obol and unlock the biome permanently for the host world.
Common questions
Can I get another one if I lose it?
Israel Hands respawns depending on world settings. A re-kill is the only confirmed way to obtain another Obol.
Does every co-op friend need their own Obol?
No — the host's single Obol unlocks the biome for the entire world. Everyone can enter after the gate opens.
