Talk:Charon (Fallout 3)

Chat page cleaned up. I got onto it, and I was like -.- So enjoy the new cleaned up page. And don't bitch if your stuff has been removed. You're lucky I left the unsigned stuff. If you claim to know a glitch, prove it. If you can't spell, get a spell checker. If English is not your first language, DONT SPEAK IT. Vault-BA 00:39, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm presuming from that last comment that speakers of Japanese, Chinese, French, German, and so on should post in their native languages. That doesn't seem a very useful policy to me (well, maybe to me, since I read Chinese, Japanese, and French, but I'm guessing not to you). On the other hand, if it's meant as a criticism of ungrammatical English, it comes rather oddly from the pen of a writer capable of producing the phrase "...and I was like -.-"


 * Remember the guy who dressed in the style you'll be familar with from the Pip-Boy picture of "The Last, Best Hope of Humanity," the one who lived a couple of thousand years ago? He had some useful advice: "And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?" I'm not a huge fan of him in general, but that's good advice. Listen to it.

Stupid Charon (And clueless Charon)
what the hell???? i bought Charon's contract and didn't take it from Azhurakhal's dead body (cause didnt kill him, Azhur-whats-his-name, was perfectly ALIVE when I got it, and when I talked to Charon Azhurkhal was alive too) and talked to Charon and he just said "talk to Ahzrukhal." and i was like "wtf?????" and i choose the dialogue subject "yeah, but-" "TALK. TO. AZHURKHAL." just gave away 2000 caps for NOTHING. that ghoul bastard!! i know its a bug or something... ;( ...just wasted 2000 caps for 6 damn words...

-

hey its the same girl who wrote the stupid charon story. tell me if you had any bugs like this or something to do with charon being bugged?!? btw, i restarted and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, didn't help.... so am i just stuck with a loss of 2000 caps or what??!!

-

you should have just started from last save file or autosave file and tried again. If not it's no big deal, 2000 caps isn't that much, I've got 12000 caps atm and nothing to really spend them on, and there is better companions available.121.208.176.155 09:13, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

thanks. i never thought of that before. i did create a save file before i bought that contract :) thanks, man/lady lol

Lost his shotgun??
Charon used to use his shotgun. But after I fired him and rehired him, he just uses his knife. Even if I tell him to go to range weapons, he still fights enemies with knife even if they are out of range. Any idea on how this could Of happend??? -

I've had that. It's because it's condition fades as it's shot & it is dropped or flies off when it's condition hits 0%.BLACK LENNY 04:13, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

maybe because its in poor condition where he cant use it?

CHARON GONE
I did mission tranqulity ane with charon as my follower but when I came out of the pod he was gone and I cant get a new follower help!!!

He should be standing next to the pod you got out of.BLACK LENNY 08:19, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

stuff to make Charon deadly
you can make charon deadly by adding a t-51b, a magnum or Chinese assalt rifle, some .44 ammo or 5.56 ammo, some Granades, Stimpaks, a Flamer, some flamer fuel, And a Shishkabob.

Magnum: when charon uses the magnum he does a kill here a kill thare

Granades: charons a follower that doesent rapidly use granades plus he's good with them

Flamer: When enimies get to Close he pulls out his flamer and toasts them

Shishkabob: When tactics are turned on close combat he'll slash and burn them to a crisp

Chinese assalt rifle: a bloodbath when its in Charon's hands

Charon & Anton Chigurh
Charon reminds me of a ghoulified Chigurh from no country for old men.71.61.140.76 23:25, September 8, 2010 (UTC)Goo

charon on mine seems to us his shot gun like a lever action rifle, the sounds and the animation are the same as one. also its a lot more accurate then a regular shot gun, almost as if it is loaded with slugs instead of shells. it doesn't causes any issues but it does look kinda weird

That's his unique shotgun. It fires about 5 small bullets instead of lots of little pellets.--BLACK LENNY 19:29, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Questioning about Mr. Crowley
According GECK, there are several dialog lines for Charon that I never had seen in a game, including questioning him about Mr. Crowley with a speech check, some idle conversation with Ahzrukhal, and, with Broken Steel, option to ask him how he ended up at Ahzrukhal employee. I never had seen anything of these in game. Are those options disabled, bugged or I just never fulfilled the requirements to activate them?


 * What does he say? 24.62.59.89 19:16, March 17, 2011 (UTC)Kaz

If you hire him right away, the opportunity doesn't normally arise to have these conversations with Charon. However, messing around with console commands on PC (such as resurrecting Ahzrukhal if Charon's already killed him and talking to him about Crowley) sometimes will open them up. You can question Charon about Crowley and subsequently do the speech challenge if he's your follower. That conversation goes like this:

Player Character: What's the deal with Crowley?

Charon: Ahzrukhal doesn't like it when I talk about his customers.

PC: (speech challenge) Come on. You can tell me. Ahzrukhal said so. 

(succeed) Charon: Oh, well that's different. You're the third human he's tried to get to kill those guys. He won't ask me, or anyone else in Underworld. It's kind of weird. (fail) Charon: Get Lost.

(If choosing to opt out of the speech challenge)

PC: Sorry. Just forget it. Charon: You're too nosy for your own good. It can be a dangerous habit.

The other conversation option you can have with Charon is probably only available if you don't hire him and talk to Ahzrukhal first. I'm not sure when/why it appears normally in the flow of the game since again, I resurrected Charon using console commands when he died and he reappeared exactly as he was before I hired him and that's when the new conversation option appeared. (note: doing this makes him think that you aren't his employer, even if you have his contract. I had to reload the game to get him back as a follower). Anyway, here it is.

PC: How did you end up working for... Charon: Not your business. / Not going to talk about it. Don't ask.

Those two answers are the only thing(s) he answered with.

Help for 5 specific followers.
I'm thinking about having 5 followers:Cross, Charon, Dogmeat, RL-3 and Butch, but I'm not sure how. I already have dog meat, and was thinking about hiring with Cross, going to underworld, fire her, hire Charon and when he kills Azrukhal hire cross. Then go for RL-3 and fire Charon and before RL-3 talks to me, rehire Charon and repeat the step for Butch. Cross won't leave once my karma goes to neutral, right? --TheReaver74 16:52, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Added background
Just added what little background there is on him to the main article. 24.62.59.89 00:21, March 24, 2011 (UTC)Kaz

Revive
I resurrected him but he's acting like I don't have his contract. How do I fix this? 202.156.11.12 10:12, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Cant find Charon during the Broken Steel add on.
i went into the purifier and had Charon as a follower but when i woke up he wasnt there and isnt at the nineth circle.

Multi-Companion glitch
I've seen a number of people saying that Charon will join you the first time regardless of whether you have a companion or not at the time, but I haven't been able to accomplish this. Are there any other requirements to make this glitch work? TheShotgunShogun 07:32, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
