Obols are a new type of collectible, an in-game currency based on real coins. The Greeks and Romans put these coins in the mouths of the dead, believing that their souls would have to pay the carrier Charon. In this guide, we talk about the best ways to earn obols, for which you can unlock bonuses and get the "I love money" achievement.
Obols in The Devil in Me are divided into several types depending on the value of one coin:

To be clear, it is not actually necessary to collect all the obols in the game. Coins respawn every time you restart/reload a chapter. What's more, The Devil in Me has a ridiculously fast way to farm coins. The gist is this:
We are interested in the mission "Interrogation". After Jamie solves the third fuse box puzzle, go through the wall and enter Kate's room (lit in red). On the table is an obol with a "Skull".
For now, don't take it! Make a backup of your save and place it in a separate folder.
As soon as you are done, take a coin, which will be immediately credited to your account. Exit to the main menu. Copy and paste the backup file into the SaveGames directory, then continue playing. After the reboot, you will find yourself in the corridor, where you got after the wall and the fuse box. Run back, pick up the coin and repeat the process.
An even faster way to farm obols can be found in the Labyrinth chapter. Regardless of the character you control, you must successfully complete the Don't Breathe mini-game.
Either way, drop down to the lower level and head towards the statue of the two dancers. Climb the stairs, take the lever and bring it to the electrical switch at the bottom. Climb the stairs and press the three buttons on the control panel to open a hidden passage under the statue.
Don't get down. Instead, create a backup. Return along the same path from the stairs. Instead of going left, where n?Move the lever and control panel, turn right. You will see an obol with a Dove lying in the corner. Its value is 10 obols. Exit back to the main menu.
Copy and paste your backup save into your SaveGames directory. When you reload, you will find yourself next to the control panel, as if you had just opened a secret passage. Just go to the opposite corner and pick up the obol. Repeat 20 times and you will be able to collect 200 obols, which is necessary for the "I love money" achievement.
