10 Secret Video Game Bosses That Punish You For Being A Jerk

9. Charon - Hades

South Park Morgan Freeman

Charon from Hades, just like his mythological counterpart, acts as the ferryman of the underworld who carries the souls of the dead across the river Styx.

However, he also has a little side gig as a merchant, selling random stuff that he dredged out while traversing the river, and although the trade isn’t his main profession, he takes it very seriously.

So much so that if you try to steal from him, he will not hesitate to rain down his full, terrifying wrath upon you.

Whenever you’re near a proper boss fight, Charon will appear to sell you his wares. When this happens, there is about a 20% chance that he will spawn with a pouch of shiny coins to the side, which, if you’re one to not care about things like property and earning things legitimately, you might be tempted to steal while he isn’t looking.

However, this action will cause Charon to instantly attack you, triggering a secret boss fight that is considered one of the hardest encounters in the entire game.

That paddle he holds isn’t just for ferrying. It’s also the perfect tool for a severe ass whooping!
