A sack of 300 Charon's Obol randomly appears behind him under some circumstances. It only appears at shops mid-way through biomes, not ones immediately preceding a boss fight, and requires that you have beaten the final boss at least once. It has a 22% chance of appearing. If the player steals the sack, Charon will send Zagreus into a room in Erebus filled with his treasures and four tall, golden jars. Initiating a fight with the player, the boatman has the following attacks.
Ghost Charge: Charon hovers to the sides of the field, sending a wave from the west or east side of the room. Throughout the battle, the pattern changes depending on his health (he also hovers to the center of the room instead), sending waves from the top and bottom, both east and west sides in a V-shaped pattern, or in a full room rotation counter-clockwise.
Floor Wave: Charon pushes a small wave that bounces once around the room towards the player. As the battle progresses, Charon will send up to three waves.
Oar Swipe: Moving to the player, Charon swipes his oar twice in a wide range, dealing heavy damage if caught.
Stun Wave: If too close to Charon, he will pulse a wave that deals knockback and a brief stun to the player.
At 75% max HP and 45% max HP, Charon will shatter two of the golden jars, destroying the player's cover from his attacks.
At 20% max HP, Charon will call off the fight, granting Zagreus a Loyalty Card for his troubles, and you also get to keep the 300 Charon's Obol "borrowed" from him.
The fight has the same difficulty regardless of the biome, so players will have the best chance of defeating Charon if they initiate the fight in Elysium, after they've received some boons. However, defeating him in Tartarus or Asphodel will give the player more opportunities to use the Loyalty Card.

Requirements: This cannot be done until you've completed the main story quest (10 full clears).
This is a very simple trophy to explain, but the toughest to do. To get this trophy, you need to defeat Charon and claim the reward, the Loyalty Card. It gives you a 20% discount on all Well items and Charon's wares in the Temple of Styx, but it only lasts for that specific run and disappears upon death.
This will most likely be among the very last trophies you earn. Charon is the rather quiet ferryman of the river Styx and he helps you throughout the game by selling you various Boons, heals, and items in exchange for Charon's Obols (gold coins). For 99% of the game, that is the extent of your relationship with him. However, after you've completed the story, you might notice that once in a blue moon, a large sack appears behind Charon. That is a pouch of 300 obols that you can steal. If you do, though, Charon will become angry and will send you to Erebus to battle him. To get this trophy, you'll have to defeat him. Good luck!
Charon is by far the most challenging boss fight (or any fight) in the entire game, so you're not going to want to do this until you really know what you're doing and have unlocked all of the Mirror of Night talents and so on. This is probably going to take a few attempts until you learn what to do. In addition, because the fight is the same no matter which biome you do it in, it's probably best to do it in Elysium, by which time you'll have more Boons and upgrades.
Note: The sack has a 22% chance of appearing, but will never appear in the Charon chamber that immediately precedes that biome's boss fight. Also, it will never appear in the fourth biome, the Temple of Styx, for obvious reasons, as Charon does not have store chambers there.
See below for more details on the boss fight [SPOILER WARNING]:
Charon:
As aforementioned, when you pick up the sack, Charon will send you down to Erebus to fight. There you'll land in a large chamber with 4 tall, golden jars which you're going to need for cover. When Charon reaches 75%, he destroys 2 of the jars, and at 45% he'll destroy the remaining 2 jars. Thankfully, you won't need to completely kill him. Once he reaches 20%, he'll stop the fight and reward you with the Loyalty Card and this trophy.
