Welcome to the God Of War Walkthrough for PS2. I will detail everything you need to know throughout the game. All strategies and tactics here apply to ALL difficulties. I urge that you play the game first and figure out the puzzles yourself. Only use this guide as a reference when you need help. No more talk, FIGHT! ************************ GOD OF WAR CONTROLS ************************ Welcome to the world of Ancient Greece! War is a bitch and so are your Enemies! Kill them with everything you got! == MELEE ATTACKS == Circle Button: GRAB/PUNCH (during Grab) Triangle Button: STRONG ATTACK/MUTILATE (during Grab) X Button: JUMP/DOUBLE JUMP/KICK (while dragging item) Square Button: REGULAR ATTACK/SWORD SWIPE (during Grab) L1 Button: BLOCK L2 Button: USE MAGIC POWER L3 Button: RAGE OF THE GODS (press with R3 Button) R1 Button: SHOULDER TACKLE/DASH R2 Button: OPEN CRATES/DRAG & LIFT ITEMS R3 Button: RAGE OF THE GODS (press with L3 Button) LEFT ANALOG STICK: WALK/RUN RIGHT ANALOG STICK: EVASION D-Pad UP: MAGIC POWERS SELECT D-Pad DOWN: MAGIC POWERS SELECT D-Pad LEFT: MAGIC POWERS SELECT D-Pad RIGHT: MAGIC POWERS SELECT START Button: POWERUP MENU SELECT Button: OPTIONS MENU == EQUIPMENT OF THE GODS == To upgrade the weapons and magic bars, simply press the Start Button to go to the Enhancement Screen. Choose your weapon or Magic of choice and press the X Button to funnel Blood into the Meter per item. BLADES OF CHAOS WHERE OBTAINED: DEFAULT FOR KRATOS UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 2250 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 3750 RED ORBS --LEVEL 4 - 9000 RED ORBS --LEVEL 5 - MAXIMUM, CANNOT UPGRADE FURTHER BLADE OF ARTEMIS WHERE OBTAINED: RINGS OF PANDORA UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 3750 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 10000 RED ORBS BLADE OF THE GODS WHERE OBTAINED: DURING SECOND BATTLE WITH ARES UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 5 - ALREADY AT MAXIMUM == MAGIC POWER OF THE GODS == To upgrade the weapons and magic bars, simply press the Start Button to go to the Enhancement Screen. Choose your weapon or Magic of choice and press the X Button to funnel Blood into the Meter per item. RAGE OF POSEIDON WHERE OBTAINED: BEFORE FINAL HYDRA BATTLE UPGRADE COST: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 1650 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 4500 RED ORBS MEDUSA'S GAZE WHERE OBTAINED: AFTER BATTLE WITH MEDUSA UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 3000 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 7500 RED ORBS ZEUS' FURY WHERE OBTAINED: ROOFTOPS OF ATHENS UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 750 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 3500 RED ORBS ARMY OF HADES WHERE OBTAINED: AFTER OBTAINING ARCHITECT SON'S SKULL UPGRADE COSTS: --LEVEL 1 - DEFAULT --LEVEL 2 - 4500 RED ORBS --LEVEL 3 - 10000 RED ORBS == RAGE OF THE GODS == Once Kratos upgrades the Blades of Chaos to Level 2, he can then use the Rage of the Gods power. It's sort of like Devil Trigger (from Devil May Cry). When activated, Kratos enters God Mode and can decimate enemies like flies. But you can only use ROTG when the Rage Meter is full. To fill the meter, you need to kill enemies. The more enemies dead, the faster the bar fills. Press the L3 and R3 Button to activate Rage. Once Rage is activated, you CANNOT deactivate it! It continues until the meter empties so use it wisely! == ENERGY ENHANCEMENT == --GORGON EYE Every six of these that you find increases Kratos' health bar. --PHOENIX FEATHER Same as above but it increases Kratos' Magic meter. --MUSE KEYS You only need two Muse Keys to open the secret Chamber of the Gods room inside the Rings Of Pandora. Can't find them? Read the walkthrough to find them. **BIG NOTE: The Prima Strategy guide lists 36 Gorgon Eyes and 36 Phoenix Feathers available in the game. In actuality, Kratos can only extend his Health and Magic bar 4 times. Kratos only needs to find 18 of each item to extend the meters (that's 3 meter extensions) and then the last upgrades come from the Chamber of the Gods. == ESSENCE == There are three types of Essence: --RED ESSENCE (BLOOD) This is used to Power-Up your Weapons and Magic in the Menu screen. --BLUE ESSENCE (MAGIC) Found only after obtaining Rage of Poseidon. --GREEN ESSENCE (HEALTH) Found by killing humans or opening specific Chests. == THE COMBO METER == As you rack up your Combos with hard hits, the meter on the bottom right, adds up your each time and labels your brutality as follows: 10 HITS: VICIOUS 10-20 HITS: GORY 30-40 HITS: SAVAGE/INHUMAN 40-100 HITS: BLOODTHIRSTY/RELENTLESS/MERCILESS 100-200 HITS: PITILESS/TYRANNICAL/IMMORTAL 200-300 HITS: FEROCIOUS/GODLY 300-400 HITS: OMNIPOTENT/OLYMPIC 400-500 HITS: ALL POWERFUL/HERCULEAN 500-1000 HITS: SUPREME/UNEARTHLY/IMPOSSIBLE VARIOUS TERMS When enemies are killed in specific conditions, new terms appear. --RUTHLESS KILL: Kill any enemy using a simple Grab (not when the Circle Button appears) --BRUTAL KILL: Kill any enemy using the buttons that appear above their heads when they are weakened --MUTILATION: Kill an enemy with the Blade of Artemis --RUINED: Kill an enemy that is airborne (like those Harpies for example) with Medusa's Gaze and let them shatter as they drop --CRUSHED: Kill an enemy frozen during Medusa's Gaze **BIG NOTE: Whenever you finish the game, your upgraded items DO NOT carryover to another new game. Whenever you start a new game, you begin with the usual weak weapons. Yes, it SUCKS that it works that way! That's all you need to know for this section. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ / /_/ /_ ___ / __/ __ \/ _ \ / /_/ / / / __/ \__/_/ /_/\___/ ____ __ __ __ _ ______ _/ / /__/ /_/ /_ _________ __ ______ _/ /_ | | /| / / __ `/ / //_/ __/ __ \/ ___/ __ \/ / / / __ `/ __ \ | |/ |/ / /_/ / / ,< / /_/ / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / /_/ / / / / |__/|__/\__,_/_/_/|_|\__/_/ /_/_/ \____/\__,_/\__, /_/ /_/ /____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me.

Test out all your skills and eliminate all the enemies until a cutscene occurs. After eliminating all the enemies, walk up to the metal grate and mash the R2 Button to open it. Jump down to the next area. Open the Chest to replenish Health and destroy the Barrels to fill the Blood Meter. Head through the hallway on the right and destroy the barricade. Continue through the hallway to your first sub-boss battle. ++ SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA SPAWN ++ MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMM MMMMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMMM MMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MMM MMM MM MMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM Woohoo! Boss battle time, YEAH! BOSS TACTICS AND EVASION: This battle may look difficult but it actually ISN'T. The Hydra Spawn only does a One or Two-Chomp attack every time and can be evaded with simple back rolls. Stand near the entrance doorway and wait for it to do a Two-Chomp Attack (you'll be safe here). Immediately roll in twice and perform ONE combo on the Spawn and then IMMEDIATELY ROLL BACK TWICE to the doorway! Repeat this tactic until it keels over. Believe it or not, that is the pattern for this particular fight. Practice this tactic and you can basically beat this boss unscathed. Once you've dealt enough pain on its scaly ass, it'll keel over and a series of Buttons will appear above its head. Get up close to the head and press the following buttons when they appear: CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE When performed correctly, you'll witness the most INTENSE Brutality of a boss you'll ever see on a game. If the opportunity is missed, you'll have to start all over again. The boss's HP will fully regenerate AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --AREA 2: BACK OF THE SHIP After the battle, head forward and walk through a series of bars Prince-Of-Persia style. Continue through the destroyed hole on the left side and continue through. Ignore the prisoner (you can't help him anyway) and head up the stairs. Destroy the barricade and then open the door. Head outside. Destroy all the winged foes and kill the defenseless humans to replenish Health (BRU-TAL!). Continue through to another sub-boss battle on the deck. ++ SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA SPAWN ++ MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMM MMMMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMMM MMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MMM MMM MM MMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM Unfortunately, no button pressing Brutality can be found here. DAMMIT! BOSS TACTICS AND EVASION: The sub-boss has three attacks. --HEAD POUND It'll pound it's head on the deck in a left, right, center pattern. Remember this pattern! --SWALLOW It'll grab Kratos and try to swallow him alive. Mash the Circle Button to open the jaws and counterattack. --SWIPE It'll do cheap swipes with its head to knock you off your feet. Use timed double jumps (straight up) to avoid getting damaged. --WIND GUST Technically not an attack, but it uses this move if Kratos moves too far away. SISSY! Whittle the boss's health down to ZERO to trigger the next Checkpoint. Jump down to the water and swim to the other side. Climb up the ropes. **If you need Health, open one of the doors on the right side of the boss and then open the Chest to replenish. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --AREA 3: SHIP TO SHIP Climb up and eliminate the enemies here. Walk the bars to the other side. TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL! There's a Chest on one side filled with Blood. Cross the bars and head for the ship to trigger a cutscene. Once the cutscene finishes, open the Chest to replenish Health. SAVE GAME Head down the ship and hide behind the large Crates to avoid arrow damage (which you can block, BTW). See that small crate on the right side? You need to push that thing all the way to the other side. If you try to push it manually, it will probably get destroyed halfway though. Instead, press the R2 Button and then press and hold the X Button to do a charged strong kick. Doing this will fling the crate a far distance. Do this until you can safely push the Crate under the pillars. **If you need extra Health, slay the humans hiding behind the Crates (BRU-TAL!). Jump on the Crate and then jump up to where the bitch-archers are and slay them all. Open the nearby Chest to replenish Health and continue through the hallways outside. Unfortunately, you cannot save the women and children locked in the Captain's Quarters. Instead climb the ladder and then the ropes all the way up to the top of the Ship. Eliminate enemies on the way up or just keep pressing the Jump Button to quickly get to the top. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --AREA 4: THE LORD POSEIDON Jump to the top of the Ship's sail and then grab onto the long rope. Slide down to the next area. There are three barricades: the left barricade contains a Blood Chest, the right barricade has a Gorgon's Eye, and the middle barricade is the next Checkpoint. Destroy the middle barricade and head through to a cutscene. ++MAGIC POWER OBTAINED: RAGE OF POSEIDON After the cutscene, destroy all the enemies that appear. (Use your newly acquired Magic if you want.) Once that's done, head through the halls outside. SAVE GAME Replenish your Health and Magic Meters at the Chests and then climb up the rafters. ++ BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA, HYDRA SPAWN x2 ++ MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMM MMMMMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMMM MMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MMM MMM MM MMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM Remember the last sub-boss battle? Yeah, same thing from that battle applies here. BOSS TACTICS: You need to attack each Spawn (one at a time) until it keels over. Next to each Spawn are stacks of Crates. When the Spawn is down, jump on those Crates to the top and then jump on the large anchor hanging to Brutally pin it down. Do this for both Spawns. ENEMY STUPIDITY: This is my best tip ever! When fighting the two spawns, stand in the corner near the crates (on the bottom of the TV screen) on either side. Kratos can stand here for the entire fight and NOT GET DAMAGED! WOW! After each spawn does an attack, counter with a 2-Hit Combo and pull back. Once it keels over, bring the hurt. ++ MAIN BOSS: HYDRA ++ MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM Finally! Climb the ropes to trigger the epic battle. BOSS TACTICS: Hydra only has one attack (technically two): a painful Chomp bite and its useless Roar. BOSS STUPIDITY: Does this fight look hard? Absolutely NOT! This battle is even easier than the Hydra Spawns! After Kratos climbs the ropes, stand in the spot where he emerges (this is what I call the Safe Spot). You can stand here for the entire battle and not get hurt! WOW! KILLER STRATEGY: Don't walk on the planks on the left or right side. STAY WHERE YOU ARE! Lure the Hydra to chomping the plywood. Stand in front of it to lure it. When it starts moving its head back, IMMEDIATELY go back to the Safe Spot. When it chomps the plywood, quickly do a 2 or 3-Hit Combo. Repeat this tactic until you whittle its health to 50%. No damage when done correctly. BLOODY BRUTALITY: Once it keels over, run up to the head and press the Circle Button (Kratos has to be standing opposite the pole from the Hydra's head). Kratos will fling the blades and pull it. Mash the Circle Button to smash the Hydra's head against the pole! After doing that, the Hydra is released. You need to do this tactic two more times to break the pole into a large stake. Once the stake is exposed, whittle its health down some more and when it keels over, press the Circle Button and start MASHING! Kratos will pull out its eye and impale its head on the stake! HELL YEAH! GODDAMN BRILLIANCE! NOT EVEN DEVIL MAY CRY 3 IS THIS BLOODY! After the battle, go and walk inside the Hydra's mouth to trigger a cutscene. You'll obtain a Key Item. After that, head out and climb up the crates. At the top, open the left Crate for a Gorgon's Eye. Slide down the rope back to the other ship. SAVE GAME Ignore the enemies here and go back to the Captain's Quarters and open the door. Head through to end the level. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ________ ________ _________ _________________ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / ____/ |/_ __/ ____/ ___/ / / / /_/ / __/ / / __/ /| | / / / __/ \__ \ / / / __ / /___ / /_/ / ___ |/ / / /___ ___/ / /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ \____/_/ |_/_/ /_____//____/ ____ ______ ___ ________ _________ _______ / __ \/ ____/ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / /_ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / /_/ / __/ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / \____/_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch the titillating cutscene! After that, head out of the bedroom and SAVE GAME. THE CANDY SHOP: If you want some extra lollipop licking (wink, wink), jump on the bed and press the Circle Button to get your freak on with the honeys! Follow the buttons shown onscreen for maximum...satisfaction! You get some extra Blood for scoring. Remember, you can come back here anytime during the first half of the game. AREA: ATHENS DOCKS Exit the ship and you'll encounter stronger Demon soldiers. Use simple Blocking and counters to kill them. Continue on after that. Before reaching the first elevator, jump through the large crack on the right side. Swim towards the ledge and double jump to the door. Kill the enemies here and continue through the hallway to a Chest with a Phoenix Feather. Jump on the Crates outside the hall back to the Dock. Head for the Elevator and go up to encounter a new enemy. ++ NEW ENEMY: MINI-TAUR ++ MMM MMM MMM MMMM MMM MM MMMM MMMM MMM MMMMM MMM MM MMMMM MMMM MMM MM MMM MMM MM MM MM MM MM MMM MM MM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MM MMM MM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MM MMM MM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MM MMM MM MMMM MMM MM MMMMMMMM MM MM MM MM MMM MM MM MMM MM MM MMMM MM MMM MM MMMMM MM MM MMMM MM MMM MM MMMM MM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MM MM MM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMM MM MM MMMMMMMMMMMMM MMM MMMMMM MM MM MM MM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MM MM MMM MMM MMM MM MM MM MMM MMM MM MM MM MM MMMMMMMMMMMM MMM MM MM MM MM MM MMM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MM MM MM MM MMM MMM MMMMM MMM MMM MM MM MMM MMM MMMMM MMMMMMMM MM MM You'll encounter 3-4 mini-taurs here. Use simple blocks and quick Combos to whittle its health down. When the Circle Button appears above its head, press the button to tackle it down. Mash the Circle Button to do a fatality. Do it for all of them and continue to the other elevator. Head up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA: OUTSIDE ATHENS Exit the elevator to encounter a new enemy. ENEMY: MACE-WIELDING FIENDS Use simple evasion and hard Combos to whittle its health down. When the Circle Button appears above its head, press the button and a series of Random buttons will appear. Press them quickly to perform a fatality. Kill all the Fiends to break the Red Seal. There's a Chest hidden in the corner just near the open doorway. Enter the door and continue through the hallway to a room with metal Crates. See the wooden Crates holding the Metal ones? Break those apart! There's two Wooden Crates to break. The Crate in the upper left triggers a new doorway. Jump and shimmy your way to that door. **There's a hidden Chest in this room with a Gorgon's Eye. Enter the doorway and walk up to the Power-Up station to trigger a cutscene. After that, its battle time! ++ NEW ENEMY: GORGON (MEDUSA) ++ MM MM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMM M M MMMMMMMM MM MMM MMM M M MM M M MM MM MMMM M M M M MMMMMMMM M MM M M MMMM MM MM M MM MM M M M MM M M MMMMM MM MM M MM MM M M M MM M M MM M MMMMMMMMMM M MMM M MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MM MM Medusa is NOT a hard enemy to kill. Use continuous rolls to avoid the Stone Gaze and simple Blocks to avoid its tail swipes. Pile on the hurt until the Circle Button appears above her head. Get up close and grab her. Rotate the Left Analog Stick in the directions you see on the screen to perform a fatality. ++MAGIC OBTAINED: MEDUSA'S GAZE From here, use the newly acquired magic to kill the mini-taurs. Use the Chest to replenish magic if you need to. After all the enemies are dead, continue through the hallway and climb the ladder up. **See that dead soldier hanging there? If you can jump to his beam, you'll find two hidden Chests with Blood. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE GAME Pull the lever at the top to rotate the large Bow and Arrow. Use it to break open the wooden door. Head through the hallway and take the path to the left. Slide down the ladder and kill the enemies. Open the Chest here for a Gorgon's Eye. There's nothing else here so go back up the ladder. See that other ladder on the right? Climb it up to head outside. Climb the walls and jump from wall-to-wall while evading and killing enemies. At the last wall, climb down and carefully tread on the ledge. Stand in between the pillar and the giant statue and rapidly mash the R2 Button to topple it over to trigger a cutscene clue. Jump down and climb the ladder on the other side. Kill all enemies here on the way up. Destroy the weak pillars to reach the higher roof and climb up. Kill the enemies here and use the Bow and Arrow set. Jump on the rope to shimmy Sam-Fisher style. Rid the enemies in your way to the other side. Slide down the ladder and open the metal door with the Helmet logo. Use the Bow and Arrow set here to bust open to the wooden door. Kill the Mini-Taurs and head for the ladder and go down. (Go up the ladder for extra Chests with Essence.) Exit the area and head for the middle of the bridge to trigger a cutscene. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ________ ________ ____ ____ ___ ____ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / __ \/ __ \/ | / __ \ / / / /_/ / __/ / /_/ / / / / /| | / / / / / / / __ / /___ / _, _/ /_/ / ___ |/ /_/ / /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ /_/ |_|\____/_/ |_/_____/ __________ ___ ________ _________ _______ /_ __/ __ \ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / / / / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / / / /_/ / / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / /_/ \____/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA: ENTRANCE TO ATHENS Walk up the stairs and head for the center of the bridge to trigger a cutscene. Enter through the large curtains to trigger another cutscene. SAVE GAME There are two paths. Take the one on the left. Head down the stairs and an explosion will block the way. Head through the gate for another battle. ENEMY: MINI-TAUR W/MALLET and SWORD To evade its Mallet Smashwave, roll to the left or right! Double jumping will get you hurt. STEP-BUTTON PUZZLE: You need to use Medusa's Gaze to freeze the Mini-taur as it steps on the button to open the gate. From there, quickly roll to the open gate before it un-freezes. This will take lots of attempts but the Chest here will always replenish your Magic. AREA: ATHENS VILLAGE ROAD As you battle through the town, you can destroy the doors for each house to find Chests. There are 2 Phoenix Feathers and 2 Gorgon's Eye in this road alone (I'll let you find them.) Kill all the enemies here. Head for the roadblock and destroy it. Can't find a way to the other side? At the tip of the roadblock is a piece of hanging rope above it. Do you see it? Double jump up to grab it and swing your way to the other side. Head outside to Athens Town square. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA: ATHENS TOWNSQUARE Continue on until you see another new enemy causing havoc. ++ NEW ENEMY: CYCLOPS ++ MMMMMM MM MM MMMMMMM MM MMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM M MM M MM M MM MM MM MMMMMMMM MMMMMM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM M MMMMMMM MM MMMMMMM MMMMMMM MMMMMMM MM MMMMMMM Use simple evasion and hard Combos on this fool. When the Circle Button appears above its head, press the Button to fling the weapon to its eye and pull it out. You have to do this 3-4 times before it dies. Kill all the one-eyed freaks to continue on through the newly opened doorway and through the hallways. Inside the first room is a hidden Chest behind the Greek painting walls. Destroy them and open the Chest to find a Phoenix Feather. Follow the woman as she heads up the stairs. Before you jump the small gap (where the woman is waiting for you), bash open the large wooden door near the gap to find a hidden room with a couple of Chests. Head outside and continue. Jump the gap and continue up the stairs to a cutscene. SAVE GAME (open the Chest on the left side of this Save Point to find a Phoenix Feather) Jump down to where the woman fell and grab the Key Item. Sigh, make your way BACK UP AGAIN! This time you'll encounter enemies on the way back. Follow the onscreen directions to kill them and head back to the Save Point upstairs. Jump to the mini-bridge on the right side and use the Key Item. Open the hatch and jump down. SAVE GAME Head through the hall and open the large gate at the other end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ____ ____ ____ ________________ ____ _____ / __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ ____/_ __/ __ \/ __ \/ ___/ / /_/ / / / / / / / /_ / / / / / / /_/ /\__ \ / _, _/ /_/ / /_/ / __/ / / / /_/ / ____/___/ / /_/ |_|\____/\____/_/ /_/ \____/_/ /____/ ____ ______ ___ ________ _________ _______ / __ \/ ____/ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / /_ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / /_/ / __/ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / \____/_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Make your way to the green shrubbery on the wall and climb to the top. Enter the doorway to encounter a new enemy. ++ NEW ENEMY: SHADOW WRAITH ++ MM MM MM MMMMMMMM M MM MMMMMMMMMM M M MM MM MM M M MMM MM MM M M MM MMMM MM M MM MMMMM MM MM M M MM MMMM MM MMMMMMMM M M MM MM MMMMMMMMM MM MM MM MM M MM MM MM MM MM M M MM MM M MM MMMMMMMMMMM MM MM M M MM MM M MM MM MM MM MM M M You have to be creative with your evasion and BLOCK! Counter with a Cyclone Of Chaos to whittle down their health. Another way to stop them is to grab them. They rarely block so it's easier to grab them. Press the Circle Button when prompted to perform a fatality. You need to kill ALL the enemies in this area in order to proceed. Kill the enemies on the floor your on and then ascend the stairs and kill the enemies on the rooftop. Once that's done, exit through the doorway and you'll come across a platforming area with Archers. Jump and climb your way to the other side and continue. **You'll notice there's a Chest with Blood on a ledge. Jump on the first pillar and crawl and jump your way to that ledge. You can also bash down the door next to the Chest and kill the enemies AND those annoying Archers if you want. Head for the building with the Save Point inside. SAVE GAME ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT CLIMB THE LADDER NEAR THE SAVE POINT YET! I will explain why in a second. AREA: ZEUS'S BUILDING Exit the Save Point room and head for the mini-bridge (you'll see Archers on the roof). As you make your way up the bridge, turn left to see a large Bow and Arrow contraption. You'll also see an open doorway next to the Bow and Arrow and a sealed doorway across from it. Push that contraption into the open doorway and into a small room with a large wooden door. You'll see a door on the left and one on the right side of this room that can be opened. Open the left door to find a lever and some enemies. Kill the enemies that appear but DO NOT PULL THE LEVER YET! ZEUS PUZZLE SOLUTION: Notice that the Bow and Arrow set is facing opposite the wooden door. To spin that thing around, look at the large circular tile in front of the left door (it has a Helmet logo on it). --Place the Bow and Arrow set on top of that Helmet logo tile and then pull the lever in the room to spin it 90 degrees. --Remove the Bow and Arrow from the tile and pull the lever to reset the tile. --Place the Bow and Arrow set on the tile AGAIN and pull the lever to rotate it 90 degrees more. When done correctly, the Bow and Arrow should be facing directly at the doorway. Drag that thing across the doorway and shoot an arrow into it. Proceed through to meet with Zeus. ++MAGIC OBTAINED: ZEUS'S FURY Head outside and kill the Archer's with your Magic to continue. Head into the newly unsealed door and break open the crack in the wall to find Chests that contain a Phoenix Feather and a Gorgon's Eye. Make your way back to the Save Point room. SAVE GAME ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOW CLIMB THAT LADDER UP TO THE ROOF! Kill the enemies that appear on each roof top. Use Zeus's Fury on the Archers when trying to cross the ropes to a set of Chests. **Continue up the roofs until you meet a cowardly bitch who won't open the Drawbridge because he's PUSSYWHIPPED! To get him to raise the bridge, shoot a lightning bolt up his ass and the bridge will rise. (**This is dedicated to all the people who couldn't figure out how to get this dumbass to open the bridge. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!) Continue past the bridge into a small room with Chests that contain a Phoenix Feather and Gorgon's Eye. Head down the hallway and kill the Wraiths on the way to the elevator on the other end.

After the cutscene, cross the bar to the other side. PUZZLE: THE THREE HARD-TO-REACH CHESTS PUZZLE Before you go up the mountain stairs to save the Oracle, you'll notice a ledge in Athens Town Square with three Chests across from the Save Point on the broken bridge. Do you see them? To obtain their contents, have Kratos shimmy on the broken bridge towards that ledge and jump onto the ledge and open the Chests for some freebies. You'll have to time your jumps so that Kratos hangs on the ledge with his hands so you can shimmy over. SAVE GAME --OBJECTIVE: HEAD TO THE ORACLE GARDEN Continue up the stairs and eliminate enemies on the way up. Watch for a hidden Chest in one of the mountain walls! Continue to the Oracle Garden to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene eliminate all the enemies here to trigger ANOTHER cutscene. After the cutscene, head up the stairs and collect the Gorgon's Eye and Phoenix Feather in the Chests on both sides of the temple. SAVE GAME Enter the temple to the top of the stairs to large room. Before opening the door on the left side, head to the front of the room and grab the Statues. Use the statues to cover up the cracks that keep spawning the winged demons. Now open the door and head up the stairs and then carefully cross the bars to the other side without any interference. **There's a large piece of glass on the other end that you can smash that has a Chest with a Gorgon's Eye! SAVE GAME Head up the halls while killing fools on the way out. Head outside to trigger a cutscene. ORACLE PUZZLE SOLUTION: AAHH!! SHUT UP ALREADY!!! Here's how to solve this puzzle: --Grab and drag one statue that's near the entrance and place it on the elevator. (The elevator goes up and down every 10-20 seconds.) --Wait for the elevator to go up so you can grab the other statue. --When the elevator goes down again, drop the other statue ON TOP of the first statue then jump down. --Drag the two-tiered statue near the water fountain. Climb up to the top of the gazebo and jump your way to the hanging vines. --You have 66-Seconds to make your way to the other side and save the Oracle. GOOD LUCK! **The solution is simple: put one statue on top of the other! Watch the cutscene. Before you leave the area, find all the hidden Chests and a Gorgon's Eye. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- _____ _______ ____________ _____ ____ ______ / ___// ____/ | / / ____/ __ \/ ___/ / __ \/ ____/ \__ \/ __/ | | /| / / __/ / /_/ /\__ \ / / / / /_ ___/ / /___ | |/ |/ / /___/ _, _/___/ / / /_/ / __/ /____/_____/ |__/|__/_____/_/ |_|/____/ \____/_/ ___ ________ _________ _______ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Head thru the hallway outside. SAVE GAME There are two paths: the big-ass Sword path and the path going up the mountain. There's nothing useful at the top of the hill (except a Phoenix Feather). Take the pathway with the big-ass Sword Bridge and continue down a circular flight of stairs to the sewers. You'll encounter Archers, Demon soldiers, Mini-Taurs, and Cyclops on the way past the Sewers. Equip your best Combos and bring on the hurt. Fight your way out of the sewers to the ladder on the other side leading to a Spiral stairway. Head up the stairway and pull the lever to end up at Athens (again). AREA: ROAD TO ATHENS Remember this place? Take the right path and then enter the doorway to the Desert Of Lost Souls. Remember to SAVE GAME!

These two have Mini-taurs as bodyguards. Kill all three Sirens to continue on. Head to the opened temple. SAVE GAME Head down the stairs to a mini-puzzle. CONVEYOR BELT PUZZLE: Open the door with the Spartan logo to reveal a large block and a Chest. You need to kick the block to the wall all the way to the left. Watch out for soldiers! Jump up to the top and open the door and continue through. Enter through the doorway and use the large horn to part the sands "Ten Commandments" style.

Quickly jump up to the top to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, a new enemy emerges. NEW ENEMY: MEGA CYCLOPS These guys are a mixture of the Mace-Wielding fiends (from the beginning of the game) and the regular Cyclops. The strategies are the same: Evade and counter. When the Circle Button appears, grab it and press the buttons that appear to perform a fatality. There are four total to kill so get killing! After the mass slaughter, head up the stairs. Open the Chests at the top for Essence and a Gorgon's Eye and Phoenix Feather. Rotate the turnstile to open the doors. Head through to a large room.

Across that door is an open hall with spiked smashers. Make your way through the spikes and proceed to the next area. We'll call this the Save Room. SAVE GAME AREA: SAVE ROOM Head to the lever across the Save Point and pull it. A turnstile will emerge outside the room. Head for the turnstile and rotate the room until you see a Red Power-Up room. Head through it to a cutscene. ++WEAPON OBTAINED: BLADE OF ARTEMIS After the cutscene, head through to the Challenge of Atlas. SAVE GAME --OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN SHIELD OF ZEUS Continue thru and kill all the enemies in this area. Don't go up the stairs yet! Head to the doorway and kill the remaining enemies. Across the doorway is a stack of wood. Drag it towards the door at the other end of the room. When you've gotten far enough, kick it towards the button and quickly head for the door before it spins (so you can spin with it). Make your way up the stairs and cross the poles and obtain the Shield. Attach it the door on the bottom floor. --OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN THE SHIELD OF HADES Now head outside and go up the stairs. Kill everyone up here and cross the bars to the lever at the other end. Pull the lever to lower a large piece of metal. **There's a Gorgon's Eye across from the lever. Grab the rope holding the metal and slide down. At the bottom of the pit, shimmy across the ropes while defeating enemies to the other side. Head up the stairs and grab the Shield of Hades. After grabbing the item, kill the enemies that appear to stop from being crushed. After that's done, cross the ropes and head back up. Go back to the room and place the Shield to open the door. Head through the hallway. SAVE GAME AREA: CHAINSAW MILL Ignore the levers in this area and head for the doorway across the chainsaw mill. Destroy the barricade (and the enemies) and go to the conveyor belt. Dodge the spike traps and head to the other side. Climb the ladder and make your way up the mountain (while killing fools on the way). Make your way to the top ledge and jump down. Pull the lever at the doorway but don't go down yet! Enter the room to trigger a big enemy battle. --OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN HANDLE OF ATLAS Kill all the Sirens and Soldiers with shields and obtain the Handle Of Atlas. Make your way back out and to the chainsaw mill. Now you have to pull the levers inside the chainsaw mill to open the gate. Pull both levers in the room quickly before the other lever closes. When the door opens, head for the entrance and shimmy to the other side. Open the door and be ready for an onslaught of enemies. Kill them all and use the Handle of Atlas at the crank near his statue. Head up the stairs on the right side (while killing fools) and pull the lever to get the "ball rolling" **There's Chests that contain a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather up here. Head outside to a large golden Coffin. Open the Coffin and jump towards the dead body. Rip off the "Architect Son's Head" Key Item. Head down the newly opened hole and make your way up the darkened and empty hallway until a cutscene occurs. After the cutscene, continue through and open the door. Welcome back to the Save Room. Head back out to the Rings of Pandora. Kill the enemies that block the way and use the Architect Son's Skull on the other door. AREA: STEAMROLLER RING Don't enter the room yet! Let the steamroller make its way past Kratos first! Head up to find a set of stairs. After the clue scene is revealed (with the ladder), wait for the steamroller to pass by. Jump on top of it and keep up with it as it rolls towards the ladder. Jump on the ladder to trigger a cutscene. Climb the ladder to the top.

Kill it and its little mini-hounds to unseal the red door. Continue through the mountain and kill all the enemies that emerge (Mega Cyclops, Archers, mini-hounds). Kill them all to unseal the door to the building at the other end. Enter the room and pull the lever. As the room rotates, it reveals Blood Chests. If you try to open them...you'll see. DON'T OPEN THEM! Wait for the room to rotate 180 degrees and it'll open a new doorway. Head outside to encounter a new enemy. ENEMY: MEGA SOLDIER These guys are practically taller versions of themselves and wield a large sword. Use blocks and hard Combos to whittle their health down. Use the Circle Button when it appears to perform a fatality. Head near the ledge and jump towards the mountain. Jump your way to the top and shimmy to the right. Open the Chest at the end to obtain the MUSE'S KEY. DO NOT JUMP DOWN! Instead shimmy all the way to the left of the mountain to the other side and jump down. Kill the Mini-taurs and continue on. SAVE GAME SACRIFICE TO THE GODS PUZZLE: The turnstile is missing its handle. Head for the room at the other end and find it there. Go back to the turnstile and use it. After the cutscene, push the cage down. Destroy all enemies that appear first before pushing the cage up the slope. Once that's done push the cage into the other room and onto the button. Turn the lever to fry the victim inside and open a new pathway. AREA: TRIDENT ROOM Head down the path towards the walkway to Poseidon's Trident. Remove the Trident from the pedestal to obtain the ability to breath indefinitely underwater. **There's a Chest with a Phoenix Feather in this room. SAVE GAME AREA: UNDERWATER PUZZLE Jump in the water on the right side and dive into the large hole. Swim your way to the other side and jump out. Kill the mini-hounds and then open the door at the other end and pull the lever. Dive back in the water back to the Trident Room. Emerge from the water and destroy all the enemies that appear here. Jump up the newly revealed pedestal to a circular pathway. Head down the pathway to a watery area. Dive down and swim to the other end. --Sub-OBJECTIVE: KISS POSEIDON'S DAUGHTERS You'll encounter Nyad, a child of Poseidon here. Press the Circle Button to give her a Kiss. You'll obtain some goodies everytime you kiss her. There's four of these girls, three of them are hidden behind cracked walls in the water. Think you can find them? Dive further down underneath her. Turn right and swim down a corridor with tons of spikes and chainsaws. If you don't get to the other side before the gaps close, you're dead. Use the R1 Button Dash to quickly swim faster towards the other side. Emerge out of the water on the other side and kill all the enemies that appear in the dry area. Once that's done, pull the lever. Now swim back to the spikes and chainsaw corridor (use the R1 Dash!). Before heading to the opened Poseidon doorway, swim further and you'll emerge to a hallway with Mega Soldiers. Kill them all. See that row of pots? Smash them all to reveal a Chest with a Muse Key. Now head back to the Poseidon door and swim further down. SAVE GAME AREA: FLOODED PASSAGE There are a couple of breakable walls near the Save Point with hidden Chests (if you want to find them). See Poseidon's Statue? Dive underneath that to a mini-puzzle. You have to swim really fast to avoid being shoved by the barricades. There are two safe places to stay safe. Use them and use a fully charged R1 Dash to quickly make the most of this situation. You need to dive under the cage at the end of the passage. This will take an ASS-LOAD of tries to get right. Once you make it, emerge out of the water and onto dry area. Kill the Mini-Taurs first. SAVE GAME AREA: AMPHITRITE PUZZLE ROOM There's a puzzle to be solved here but how? How do you find your way out of the room? Simple. When you pull the lever to raise the pedestals, jump into the water and dive quickly to the bottom pedestal at the very end and you'll see a small room under one of the pedestals. Enter that room to exit this area. Swim out to the next area. Welcome back to the Rings of Pandora. SAVE GAME --OBJECTIVE: USE THE MUSE KEYS If you obtained both of the Muse Keys, go back to the turnstile at the Rings of Pandora and turn it until you see a doorway. Enter that doorway and insert both Keys to open a special "Chamber of the Gods". I'll let you see it for yourself. ;) Exit back to the Steamroller Room (while killing fools on the way) and jump into the large pool of water. Look for a hole to dive into and swim all the way to the other end. Emerge out and head down the hallway. AREA: MINOTAUR ROOM Ignore the lever at the top for now. Look for a crack on the wall near the stairs and break it open.

Press the Circle Button to perform a fatality on them. In order to open the door, you need to stand on the Black Circle on the floor and kill an enemy on it until 4 of the Rings start glowing. Do this for the second Black Circle to open the whole door. This may take a lot of tries but you can do it! Enter through the opened doorway and head outside. Open the Chests here for Essence and a Phoenix Feather. Open the door on the other end and enter. AREA: MAZE OF HADES You absolutely MUST kill every enemy in the Maze. There are a lot of halls here but the main thing you're looking for is enemies. Once all the enemies in the first floor are gone, head for the turnstile and turn it to go to the second floor. Again, kill everyone here. After that head to the room with the smashing pillar and jump on top of it towards the Hades' door. Kill the last of the enemies here to proceed out. Once outside, depress the button to raise the Hades statue out of the water. Jump down to the water and dive under the statue to find a lever. Pull the lever to activate the Hades head. Swim back up and climb up to the statue head and rotate it using the turnstile and jump down. SAVE GAME AREA: INDIANA JONES ROOM Head into the room for some Indiana Jones hi-larity! DO NOT HEAD FOR THE ROOM AT THE OTHER END OF THIS PUZZLE! There's nothing useful for you in that room! There are four doors on the left side and four on the right of this massive corridor. The door to exit this room is the third one on the left. Time your evasion and open that door as quickly as possible and enter!

Kill the enemies here to unlock the red sealed door. Head up the stairs on the right first and kill the enemies here. Make your way back and head for the stairs on the left. Shimmy on the rope while killing fools on the way. Head to the other end and jump down the arena. Kill all the enemies here in order to proceed. GOOD LUCK! Once that's done, climb up the ladder and up to the doorway. Traverse the hallways to the other end. SAVE GAME AREA: UPPER ROOM Carefully traverse the bars as you double jump the sharp blades. Make your way to the upper area and climb the ladder. Find the rope and slide down to the next area. See that Minotaur Door? Walk up to it and press the R2 Button to rotate the handle. Make your way down the stairs and back to the Minotaur Room. SAVE GAME!!!

EVASION, people! --BULLHORN SMASH It pounds its fist on the ground and then slams its head down (then up). Roll back to avoid damage. --GRAB It's...a grab. --FIRE BREATH It only does this move after you smash its armor. Double jump to avoid being burnt. KILLER STRATEGY: Use simple evasion and rolls to evade its attacks. Pile on it with VERY HARD Combos to whittle down its armor. When one part of the armor starts smoking steam, you've figured the pattern. You need to get 5 parts of its armor smoking (not in any specific areas though, WHEW!). Once all 5 parts of its armor is blasting steam, it'll keel over and the Circle Button will appear above its head. Run up to the head and press it! BLOODY BRUTALITY: When Kratos wrangles the big bull, move the Left Analog Stick in the directions indicated onscreen to wrangle it up. When done successfully, the bull will stand up (just dazed and confused). Quickly run up the stairs to the lever near the bottom of the room and pull it to shoot a large log arrow at it. You need to do this tactic twice to expose the boss's true body. Immediately jump down to avoid being smashed as the boss tramples down towards you. ++ BOSS BATTLE: MECHA-TAUR PART TWO ++ The exposed boss has a new ground attack so be evasive! Continue the same tactics from above and then shoot a log arrow at it to finally impale this big piece of BULL-SHIT on the door! HA! See what I did there...I'm so funny...? WOW! THAT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF SHEER BRILLIANCE! Exit through the open door and head up the stairs. SAVE POINT Enter the room and open the Golden Coffin. Grab the other Architect Son's Head and exit the area. Head back to the Minotaur Room to acquire the final piece of Magic. ++MAGIC OBTAINED: ARMY OF HADES Kill all the enemies that appear in order to proceed. Head back out the doorway and into the water. Swim back to the Steamroller Room and use the Skull on the underwater Skull Doorway to drain the entire area. RINGS OF PANDORA PUZZLE: Rotate both of the turnstiles until the Center room aligns with the Save Point Room. When they're aligned, run back to the Save Room and align the statues to enlighten the Crystal Eye in the Center room. Once the cutscene ends, head back to the Center Room and pull the lever and make your way to the top. Head out and towards the mountains to trigger a battle with a new enemy. ENEMY: PANDORA'S GUARDS These guys aren't so hard to kill. Dodge and use Hard Combos and they'll fall quickly. Kill all of them and proceed forward to a cutscene. SAVE GAME **To the right side of the Save Point is a cracked wall. Break it open to acquire more Blood. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ________ _____________________ ____ ______ / ____/ / / _/ ____/ ____/ ___/ / __ \/ ____/ / / / / / // /_ / /_ \__ \ / / / / /_ / /___/ /____/ // __/ / __/ ___/ / / /_/ / __/ \____/_____/___/_/ /_/ /____/ \____/_/ __ ______ ____ _ __________________ / |/ / | / __ \/ | / / ____/ ___/ ___/ / /|_/ / /| | / / / / |/ / __/ \__ \\__ \ / / / / ___ |/ /_/ / /| / /___ ___/ /__/ / /_/ /_/_/ |_/_____/_/ |_/_____//____/____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Head up the cliff and kill all the enemies in the way. Head for the elevator and go up. SAVE GAME There are two paths here near the Save Point: the ladder path going up and path to the right (of the ladder). Take the ladder path first (since it's longer). --OBJECTIVE: FIND THE NECKLACE OF HERA Climb the ladders up to the top to a cave entrance with a Minotaur head on top of the entrance. Work your way up the caves and up the Cliff. Head up the cliff until you see a large monument. This is where you'll place the Necklaces. Just down from this monument is a ladder. Go down the ladder and continue traversing the cliff until you reach an area with a long piece of rope to slide down to a cave entrance on the other side. Enter the cave and kill all the enemies that appear. Once that's done, proceed further into the cave to a room with a large Block Puzzle. NECKLACE OF HERA BLOCK PUZZLE: In this room, you'll see five large alphabet-like blocks and a turnstile that can rotate the blocks. Here's the way to solve this puzzle: --First, remove the tiny moveable block that's in front of the gate. You don't need this piece. --Next, grab the block that looks like half of the number "5". Drag it to the turnstile and rotate it until it looks like half of the number "2". Drag and place this block into the middle of the gate. --Next, grab the block that looks like the letter "T". Drag it to the turnstile and make it face forward. Now drag the block and place it to the left of the number "2" block. --Next, grab the block piece that looks like the number "7". Drag it to the turnstile and rotate it in the opposite direction. Now drag this piece on the far left of the gate. And the last two pieces are super simple to figure out. Drag both of them into their places and the gate will open. Grab that Necklace and head back out to the Save Point. SAVE GAME As you exit the cave, head to the ladder next to the Save Point and go up. Climb the cliffs up here to the other side. You'll find a lever on a ledge that you can pull to make the next objective much easier. Once you pull that lever a cutscene clue will show. Continue scaling the cliffs back to the other side back to the large monument. Place the necklace in the monument if you want. Head back to the entranceway with the Minotaur head on top of the doorway. Head to the left of this doorway to where the large block in the cutscene clue fell. Climb the rope up to a cave entrance and Save Point. SAVE GAME --OBJECTIVE: FIND THE NECKLACE OF APHRODITE Enter the cave and pull the lever. Once the gate opens grab the stone block and quickly drag and kick it to the other side. Jump on top of it and jump up to the ledge before the spikes on the ground come up. If done incorrectly, you die. ;) Open the Chest to find a Phoenix Feather. Jump across the gap and grab the Necklace of Aphrodite and head back outside. --OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN PANDORA'S BOX Head back to the monument where you placed the Necklace of Hera and use the Necklace of Aphrodite on the other side of it. The ledges near the monument will start moving. **SECRET AREA: Before you jump on the moving ledges, there is a secret cave behind the large monument. Head around the back of the monument to find the cave and enter. Kill the Archers and swim into the large pool of water to the other end. You'll emerge on a humongous water fountain. Break the cracks on the wall in this area to find lots of Chests with Blood. Swim back and continue the objective. Jump across the moving ledges to the top and continue through until a cutscene occurs. Once that's done, continue through while killing enemies on the way. Head forward and look for the ropes to swing on.

Once over there, open the doorway on the right side and proceed through. Kill the enemies as you make your way up. After that's done climb up to the large balcony and climb the ladder to a large crane. ==Turn the turnstile to move the crane until you see the shadow of the stone above the crack on the ground. Head towards the stone and pull the lever to drop the stone and break the crack. ==Head back to the Crane and turn it again until the shadow of the stone is above the other switch. Head towards the lever again and pull it to drop the stone on the switch to open the first set of bars. Leave the crane alone now and head back down. SWITCH #2 ==On the left side of the building is a statue. Drag that thing towards the newly opened crack on the other side and drop into the opened crack. Drag the statue to the switch inside and place it on top of it to open the second set of bars. SWITCH #3 ==Jump back across the Chasm (where the Save Point is) and step on the last button to open the doors completely. Make your way across the Chasm again and enter the doors. Enter the room to see two dead bodies. Get behind the dead body sitting on the chair and rip the head off. Enter the newly opened door and head outside. SAVE GAME AREA: PATH TO PANDORA'S ROOM Head up the stairs and make your way down to Pandora's Room. You HAVE to kill every enemy here in order to proceed. Once that's done, enter Pandora's Room. Pull the lever at the globe to trigger a series of cutscenes. Once that's done, drag the big box outside to trigger a cutscene. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ____ ___ ________ __ __________ / __ \/ |/_ __/ / / / /_ __/ __ \ / /_/ / /| | / / / /_/ / / / / / / / / ____/ ___ |/ / / __ / / / / /_/ / /_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ \____/ __ _____ ____ ___________ / / / / | / __ \/ ____/ ___/ / /_/ / /| | / / / / __/ \__ \ / __ / ___ |/ /_/ / /___ ___/ / /_/ /_/_/ |_/_____/_____//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Hell! SAVE GAME Time to put your platforming skills to the test! Jump and kill your way to the other side. Cross the bars carefully! I don't know how else to help you out here, sorry. **Most of the Chests on all the ledges contain Blood. Some Chests will contain Phoenix Feathers. SAVE GAME AREA: STYX BELOW You'll have to use Zeus's Fury in order to get past the floating ledges to the other side. Once there, you HAVE to kill every enemy that appears in order to proceed. Once that's done, you'll have to climb two (count it TWO) REALLY long sets of rotating spiked walls. GOOD LUCK! I really wish I could help you here. SAVE GAME In order to reach the last area, you HAVE to kill enemies. Each enemy killed brings up a new pedestal until it reaches your area. Once that's done continue through and climb up the rope at the other end AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HELL! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________ _______ __ ______ ____ ______ /_ __/ ____/ |/ / __ \/ / / ____/ / __ \/ ____/ / / / __/ / /|_/ / /_/ / / / __/ / / / / /_ / / / /___/ / / / ____/ /___/ /___ / /_/ / __/ /_/ /_____/_/ /_/_/ /_____/_____/ \____/_/ ________ ________ ____ ____ ___ ________ ______ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / __ \/ __ \/ | / ____/ / / ____/ / / / /_/ / __/ / / / / /_/ / /| |/ / / / / __/ / / / __ / /___ / /_/ / _, _/ ___ / /___/ /___/ /___ /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ \____/_/ |_/_/ |_\____/_____/_____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE GAME This is it! The final area before the BIG BATTLE! Kill all the enemies in your way as you head back to the Oracle's Garden. FINAL SAVE GAME Exit the Oracle's Garden and head down the stairs until a cutscene occurs. ++ FINAL BOSS BATTLE: ARES ++ MMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMM MM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMM MMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM Let me be the first to say this: PANDORA'S BOX IS PURE HORSESHIT! IS THAT ALL IT CAN DO?!? Anyway, get ready for the first of a three-part Epic Battle! I'm recommending that you have the Blades Of Chaos upgraded to Level 5. ++ ARES BATTLE PART 1 ++ The first battle is tough but there is a flaw in fighting Ares: You can block all but ONE of his attacks. Ares uses three regular attacks: Strong attacks, his tentacles, and Magic. He tends to mix and combine his attacks but it's super easy to just block them all. SPECIAL MOVES: Ares has two special moves - --FLAMING HAMMER He spins the Hammer around and flames spit forth like a flamethrower. This attack is long range and is hard to evade or block --METEOR ATTACK He floats in the air and begins flinging numerous fireballs at you. Simply run and roll your way to safety. KILLER STRATEGY: Simply block his melee attacks and pile on your heaviest Combos on him. His Health Meter slowly replenishes but keep piling the hurt and the effect will stop. Once a lot of damage is dealt, green and blue Essence will start coming out of Ares' body and replenishing your Health and Magic. BLOODY BRUTALITY: When Ares has nearly no Health left, the Circle Button will appear above his head. Get in close and press the Circle Button and mash it. When Kratos climbs above Ares' head, press the buttons indicated onscreen to end this battle and trigger the next sequence. ++ ARES BATTLE PART 2: NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE ++ Now is a good time to activate Rage of the Gods. If you upgraded the Blades of Chaos to Level 5, you can activate Rage and your magic Meter will be infinite as long as Rage is active. Keep close to your family and protect them at all costs. If their Health decreases, quickly go up to them and Press the Circle Button to replenish their Health. Pile on the hard Combos on your "clones" and use Poseidon's Rage while Rage of the Gods is active to rack up an assload of Combos. Keep the pain coming until a cutscene occurs. ++ ARES BATTLE PART 3 ++ Now for the final Epic Battle! You no longer have Magic or Rage so you'll need to be careful. Just like in the first battle with Ares, there is a SUPER big flaw here: You can block EVERY attack except one. BOSS ATTACKS: Like the first battle, Ares mixes and combines his melee attacks with his tentacles or Magic. You can block every single one of these attacks and NOT take damage at all. If you do take damage while blocking, it was because you tried to counter while he was still attacking. SPECIAL MOVES: --VALLEYS OF OLYMPUS Ares summons four large mountains that surround Kratos and slam in on him. You cannot block this attack but you can avoid damage by simply rolling out of the way. Very rarely does he use this move but be on watch when he does use it. KILLER STRATEGY: To beat Ares flawlessly, hold the L1 Button (Block button) for the duration of the fight. Every melee and magic attack he does WILL NOT hurt Kratos (unless you tried to counter at the wrong time). All of your new weapon's attacks revolve around the L1 Button. The best time to counter Ares is when he performs his 3-Hit Combo (where he does an uppercut slash). When he misses the uppercut slash, KEEP HOLDING THE BLOCK BUTTON and counter immediately by pressing the Square Button. This attack is faster and won't bog down Kratos as he recovers. Do this tactic for the entire fight and you WON'T take any damage! Now my last tip: KICK HIS ORANGE-FACED ASS! **BTW, the strategy I've given above DOES NOT apply to God Mode. In God Mode, Ares is tuned to super cheapness and is probably one of the WORST boss fights EVER! God Mode can blow me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Once the battle ends, watch the cutscenes that occur. After the cutscenes, head up the stairs towards...hey, wait a minute! I ain't spoiling it! You can see the extended ending for yourself! Congrats, you beat God Of War! Now try the god-awful God Mode for more god-awful hijinks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __ ___ ____ ____ ________ __ ___ ____ __ ___________ / / / / | / / / / __ \/ ____/ //_// | / __ )/ / / ____/ ___/ / / / / |/ / / / / / / / / ,< / /| | / __ / / / __/ \__ \ / /_/ / /| / /___/ /_/ / /___/ /| |/ ___ |/ /_/ / /___/ /___ ___/ / \____/_/ |_/_____/\____/\____/_/ |_/_/ |_/_____/_____/_____//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The following are already unlocked: --THE MAKING OF GOD OF WAR This is basic behind the scenes stuff that was featured in the Demo. --GOD OF WAR TRAILERS Internet trailers used to promote GoW.

And for the Jessica Alba fans out there (c'mon, you know you can't resist her), I've got some HOT screencaps of her directly from the movie and some of her other flicks just for you.

And while you're at it, make the trek to your local video store and rent the excellent documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys" which was the basis for the movie. It's a great way to kick off your summer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is only for use on GameFAQS.
