    The Hand of Charon is one of the four new wonder weapons on the map Ancient Evil. As is the case with many of the Zombie achievements in this game, this can be completed on Casual difficulty, so I would highly recommend using it over the other difficulties if you're going for this.

    To begin, you'll need to find one of the four Dormant Hands found scattered throughout the map. There are 20 spawn locations for them, all of which can be found in this video:

    Alternatively, if you would like pictures of their locations, this Reddit link will also show all 20.

    After you've found your first Dormant Hand, take the Pegasus (or a portal if you've already used the Pegasus) to the Pack-a-Punch portion of the map, also known as the "Dark Side." Once here, go to the Python Pass region of the map and look for the glowing red circle on the ground. Deposit your Dormant Hand into the statue and you'll begin a little ritual. It will require you to kill roughly 10 zombies that are glowing red in the chest, all the while you are required to stay within the glowing circle. After all 10 have been killed, you will be able to pick up the Hand of Charon. We're halfway there!

    This weapon will need to be upgraded in order to use the charged ability required to unlock this achievement. In order to upgrade to the Redeemed Hand of Charon, take the normal version (the one we just got) back up to the River of Sorrow and use the Hand to get kills in the water in front of the Odin Perk Machine. As you do this, you will notice the water begin to turn red, eventually you will be prompted to hold cn_X to Drink from the River of Sorrow. (IMPORTANT NOTE: You will NOT regenerate health for this next part, so it may be best to wait til the end of the round before attempting this.) Once you drink from the river, your vision will change and you will begin to notice glowing coins scattered throughout the entirety of the Dark Side. You will need to go around the area searching for three coins, but take note of what it tells you when you walk over them, as some will be counterfeit. Once you've collected all three, head back to the statue and hold cn_X to begin your trial.

    This part is pretty straight forward, and is more or less a tutorial teaching you how to use the charged ability of the Redeemed version of the gauntlet. After killing the 30ish Zombies that spawn in, another portal will appear allowing you to exit with your newly upgraded Hand.

    With the hard part out of the way, you now need to kill 15 zombies with one charged shot. This can easily be obtained anywhere you desire, but I find the easiest place to horde Zombies is in the Amphitheater. Simply horde up 15-20 zombies, hold down cn_RT, and when you kill 15 in one go, the achievement will pop!

    If any of my steps were confusing to you, or if you just want a visual aid, be sure to check out this super quick (less than 2:00) video of a YouTuber named Glitch on how to build and upgrade the Hand of Charon.

    For this achievement you will need to firstly find the Primordial Weapon also known as the Doormant Handle. When you go back to the Oracle in the spawn area after activating the artifact, she will say "Seek The Primordial Weapon..."

    Now there are 20 possible spawn locations of the Primordial Weapon and below I will list all of them with a time stamp so that you don't have to go through the whole video.

    Primordial Weapon Time Stamps

    00:30 - Guided Taurus is in the Spartan Monument area that’s near the Gaia shrine.
    00:45 - Arrow Splits The Road is in the Intersection of Treasuries area and it’s on the floor next to a big giant arrow.
    01:01 - Fallen Statesmen is in the Spartan Monument area that is on top the stiar you go down to get to the Zeus perk machine.
    01:18 - Workbench of Hepaestus is in the Cliff Ruins area on the table on the right side.
    01:38 - Shieldbearer's Fountain is in the Stoa of Athenains area on the fountain.
    01:52 - General's Column is in the Spartan Monument area down the stairs from the big fountain.
    02:08 - Top of the center of the world is in Center of the World area and it’s on top the slope on the left side.
    02:22 - Shrine of Wind and Sky is in the Center of the World area and it’s on the right side near the ledge.
    02:40 - Where sorrow flows beneath is in the River of Sorrow area and it’s on your left down the stairs.
    02:54 - Chaos of Treasuries is in the Intersection of Treasuries area and it’s inside a crystal.
    03:08 - Where the serpent snared the eagle is in the Cliff Ruins area and it’s next to the big bird cage that’s on the ground.
    03:23 - Beneath the watchful gaze of zeaus is in the Spartan Monument area and it’s next to the Zeus perk machine.
    03:39 - Where sorrow washes over is in the River sorrow area and it’s next to the Odin perk machine.
    03:52 - Near the purple blossoms in the Intersection of Treasuries area and it’s next to the purple flowers next to the stairs.
    04:06 - On the steps of flesh and bone is in the Python Pass area and it’s on the floor next to the Charon shrine.
    04:20 - Near the wheel of water is in the Cliff Ruins area and it’s on the floor left of the blue fire.
    04:36 - On the broken bridge is in the Cliff Ruins area and it’s on the bridge that you go over and it’s on the ledge.
    04:49 - Chaos of venom is in the Python Pass area and it’s next to the buyable trap just before you go to the area before Pack-a-Punch.
    05:04 - Near the barque of gold is in the Stoa of Athenains area and it’s on a green box.
    05:20 - Where the mighty titan points is in the Python Pass area and it’s inside a crystal that’s on the floor left of the Titan wallbuy.

    Now that you've found yourself a Doormant Handle, you need to go to the Charon Alter that is in the Python Pass area and place the Doormant Handle on it. Then keep on the killing the zombies inside the red circle that appears for a set amount of time. Once that is done pick up the Fallen Hand of Charon from the alter.

    Once you have done that head to the River of Sorrows which is infront of the Odin perk machine. You will notice a giant puddle in front of you and you have to kill around 10 - 15 zombies with the Fallen Hand of Charon to make the puddle go red. You will have enough kills when the game gives you a prompt that says "drink from the River of Sorrows."

    Next you to drink from the River of Sorrows and you need to be on the lookout for coins. Now there are two types of coins that you can find and they are as follow.

    Obtain Charon's Obol (Real Coin)
    Extinguish the False Obol (Fake Coin)

    Now for this you will need to find three Real Coins, now the only way to tell if it's a real coin or not is when you go up to it and read the Prompt text the game gives you. You are looking for the prompt text "Obtain Charon's Obol." Also these coins are really easy to spot as they light up when you have drunken from the River of Sorrows. However, whilst doing this your health will not regenerate whilst looking for these coins, so I recommend that you do this at the end of the round with at least 1-2 zombies chasing you.

    Once you have found three Real Coins take them back to the altar and a teleporter will open in front of you. Go through the portal, and keep on killing the zombies in the reward area, once that's done will you have obtained the Redeemed Hand of Charon Gauntlet that is required for this achievement.

    Now for the next section you will need to train at least 15 zombies and use the charged attack on the Redeemed Hand of Charon, you do this by holding down RT and releasing it.

    Overall this achievement is pretty doable, I think.

    I hope this helped you out, thanks again!
