God of War II strategy guide

VII.The Underworld
You're down but not out, clinging to the walls of the earth's crust. Use sideways hacks and throws to clear the hands, and make your way to the surface.

VIII.Pegasus
Now you're on the flying horse, but there's griffon-shaped turbulence ahead. Attack enemies by slamming them with your steed (L1 and R1), or by using Square and Triangle. It's easier to use Kratos' attacks, and then jump aboard using Circle and take them down with a Quicktime sequence.

He's hovering over the fire, but don't worry about him now - you can deal with him later. Run to the next climbable wall and shimmy down. You'll be attacked here, and after that, you'll be able to save your game again. There's a chest with a Gorgon eye here, so grab that and then head up the wall nearby. You're in another cave now, and the first thing you'll encounter is a set of three Gorgons. To kill them, keep moving and avoid their stares, because if you're hit when you're petrified you'll instantly die.
