We walk you through the PS2's last great epic, one step at a time

X.Typhon's Cavern
Head through the cave and you'll come across Typhon, a grumpy Titan. Quickly run past his face and hide behind the rocks, as he'll start blowing air at you. Get caught in these blasts, and you'll fall off the edge, so time your runs to cover carefully. Once you reach the top of the shelf, there's a rock bridge to bash, so attack it and you'll be able to attack his face. Run up close and press R1 to leap onto his eye and rip out Typhon's Bane - a bow.

Head left and reach the grapple point. Kill the archers before you swing across, and head out of the cave. You'll be able to save on the way out. Now run all the way back to where you left Prometheus dangling, and shoot him down to kill him. You'll now be granted the Rage of the Titans, which you can activate by pressing R3 and L3 together. You can test it out on the soldiers and Minotaurs that appear to attack you, so tuck in.

Climb up the wall to your right and you'll come to a chain bridge. Don't climb it yet! Head up the wall next to it, and you'll come across three crates, two containing red orbs and a third with a Phoenix feather in it. Now drop down and climb across the chain bridge.

You'll find yourself in front of a locked door, which you can break down using Rage of the Titans. Now run back to the start of the level, saving along the way. Bash Typhon's fingers until your Rage meter is full, then activate it and slash at the fingers again. Once they've all lifted up, Typhon's hand will move, freeing Pegasus for your escape. Climb on and leave.
