The Hand of Charon is one of the four Primordial weapons and a wonder weapon featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It can be obtained on the map Ancient Evil.

Overview[]

The Hand of Charon, like the other Primordial weapons, is derived from a Primordial god, in this case being Charon, the ferryman of Hades in the underworld.

The Hand of Charon will shoot a three small blobs of blood magic that auto-target, which will manifest into a portal in the ground, which will cause zombies to be dragged into the Underworld. With the Redeemed and Exalted Hand of Charon, the player can charge the weapon to create a large pool of blood on the ground, which will attract more zombies.

Fallen Hand[]

Step 1[]

In order to obtain the Hand of Charon, the player must first locate a Dormant Hand around the map, which the Oracle will provide a cryptic clue to a location of one when visiting her after activating the Sentinel Artifact. The player will know the Dormant Hand is there when they can see a small part of the map that is producing purple particles. Once the player finds this part, melee the area, and the weapon will be shown to pick up. The hints and locations are as follows:

  • Chaos of the Treasuries - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a giant red crystal the player can see when coming from the Gymnasium Bathhouse. There should be part of the crystal glowing purple
  • Near the Purple Blossoms - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a patch of purple blossoms. There is a dirt patch that is near
  • Barque of Gold - In the Stoa of the Athenians, next to a boat full of gold that has a shield and arrows on top. There should be a pot glowing purple
  • The Shieldbearers Fountain - In the Stoa of the Athenians, on the fountain of the statue in the middle. There should be a pot glowing purple
  • General's Column - In the Spartan Monument, there is a pot at the base of a column that has a statue on top
  • Fallen Statesman - To the left of the Zeus statue, up the stairs there should be a patch of dirt glowing purple
  • Beneath the Watchful Gaze of Zeus - In front of the Zeus statue, there should be a patch of dirt glowing purple
  • Golden Taurus - In the Spartan Monument, there should be a pot at the base of a golden taurus statue
  • Where the Arrow Splits the Road - In the Intersection of Treasuries, there is a huge arrow that is in the middle between the Intersection of Treasuries and the Spartan Monument. On the ground next to this arrow, there is a pile of bricks that will be glowing purple

The next hints are located on the other half of the map, where Pack-A-Punch is:

  • Where Sorrows Flow Beneath - In the River of Sorrow, when exiting from the Pegasus ride, down the stairs and to the left should be a pile of bricks glowing purple
  • Sorrow Washes Over - To the left of the Odin statue, there should be a pile of dirt glowing purple
  • Wheel of Water - In the Cliff Ruins, on the ground next to the blue fireplace, there should be a pile of bricks glowing purple
  • Workbench - In the Cliff Ruins, to the right of the blue fireplace, there should be a pot glowing purple on top of a desk
  • Where the Serpent Snared the Eagle - In the Cliff Ruins, to the left of the yellow cage holding the eagle, there should be a pile of dirt glowing purple
  • Broken Bridge - Going from the Cliff Ruins to the Center of the World, there is a bridge the player has to cross. On the right side there should be a pot glowing purple
  • The Shrine of Wind and Sky - To the left of the Ouranos altar in the Center of the World, there is a pile of bricks glowing purple
  • Top of the Center of the World - In the Center of the World, going behind Pack-A-Punch, there is a pile of bricks glowing purple
  • Chaos of Venom - In between the Center of the World and the Acid Trap from Python Pass, there is a small bundle of crystals that are glowing purple
  • Where the Mighty Titan Points - In Python Pass, to the left of the Titan wallbuy, there is a crystal glowing purple
  • The Steps of Flesh and Bone - In Python Pass, next to the Charon altar, there should be a pile of stone glowing purple

Step 2[]

Once the player obtains a Dormant Hand, the player must bring it to the Shrine of Charon in Python Pass and place it on the shrine. The player will be condensed in a small circular barrier and must survive until the barrier disappears. The Fallen Hand of Charon can now be grabbed from the shrine.

Redeemed Hand[]

Step 1[]

Once acquiring the Fallen Hand of Charon, the player must go to the River of Sorrows and get kills with the Fallen Hand in the water in front of the Odin statue. Once the player has gotten enough kills, the player will be prompted to “drink from the River of Sorrow”. Upon drinking the water, the player will now have a red effect on the edge of their screens and they will not be able to regenerate health. The player must now search for three of Charon's Obols, that are scattered around this side of the map, which will be highlighted by the vision and can be seen through walls if close enough. The player will encounter several fake obols, which the player can extinguish in order to help find the real obols. The player will know that you have a correct Obol when they see a prompt to “Obtain Charon’s Obol”. If the player goes down in this state, they will need to drink from the River of Sorrow again.

Step 2[]

Once all three obols are found, the player can bring them to the Shrine of Charon, which will allow the player to teleport to the Shadow's Bank. You will be given the Redeemed Hand of Charon and unlimited ammo to kill zombies. Once enough zombies are killed, the player will be teleported back to the map with the Redeemed Hand of Charon.

Exalted Hand[]

Step 0[]

To start obtaining the Exalted Hand of Charon, make sure to first have the Redeemed Hand of Gaia, Redeemed Hand of Hemera, and Redeemed Hand of Ouranos.

Step 1[]

The player will need to light the Eternal Flame by completing Trials and claiming an Epic and Legendary reward.

With the Eternal Flame lit up, the player must pull out Apollo’s Will and melee the Eternal Flame to make the spear catch on fire. Going outside to the left of the Eternal Flame and looking up the player will see a large bowl on top of a pillar. The player will need to aim slightly above the top of the bowl and throw the spear to light the bowl on fire.

Step 2[]

The player needs to kill a specific Catalyst Zombie in the circle at each Shrine. The kills are as follows:

  • Kill a Fire Catalyst at the Shrine of Gaia
  • Kill an Electric Catalyst at the Shrine of Hemera
  • Kill a Poison Catalyst at the Shrine of Charon
  • Kill a Water Catalyst at the Shrine of Ouranos

Once the player has killed a catalyst at a Shrine, they will need to get zombie kills near that Shrine to collect souls. The player will need about 10 and they’ll know when they are done once souls stop going into the Shrine.

Step 3[]

The final step is to take one of the Hands and go interact with Pack-A-Punch to initiate the Primordial God’s Challenges. Unlike upgrading to the Redeemed Hand, the player doesn’t have unlimited ammo, but can use their full arsenal. There are four challenges the player must complete, but they will be teleported back to the map after completing each one. The Challenges are as follows:

  • Challenge of Gaia:
    • Kill a whole bunch of Catalyst Zombies.
  • Challenge of Ouranos:
    • Kill a whole bunch of skeletons.
  • Challenge of Hemera:
  • Challenge of Charon:

After completing the Challenge of Charon, the player will then be able to Pack-A-Punch any Hand, bringing it to its Exalted form, and increasing ammo as well as damage.
