Triangle - This is a strong, but slower attack. Circle - This grabs an enemy, and allows for brutal kills and moves. X - This jumps. Press it twice to double jump. L1 - This blocks. Press it just before an enemy's attack to parry. L2 - This uses your selected magic, assuming you have some. R1 - This button is not used. R2 - This is the basic action button for talking, opening doors, etc. D-Pad - These buttons select magic, assuming you have it. Left Stick - This is used to move. Press hard to run, or a little to walk. Right Stick - This allows you to roll and avoid attacks. Select - This brings up a menu for you to upgrade magic. Start - This brings up a basic pause menu. [Climbing] ========== You can climb ladders. There are also many types of walls you can climb; For example, cliffside walls, with rocky surfaces, or building walls, with vines growing up them. You can jump on these to climb them, then move with the analog stick. Pressing Up and X will cause Kratos to jump upward, while left or right pressed with X, will cause him to jump sideways. You can jump over ledges in the wall, that are to the left or to the right of you, by doing this. Some walls you can jump off of, and some you can't. Basically, if the camera changes to a view directly facing the wall, you can't jump. If it's a sideview, you can. You can fight while climbing walls. Just as on when you are on the ground, you can use quick attacks by pressing square, strong attacks with triangle, and grab attacks with circle. [Rope Swinging] =============== Every so often, you'll come across a rope hanging in the air. If you jump to it, Kratos will automatically grab onto it. You can then rotate around it by pushing the analog stick left or right, or climb it by pushing the analog stick up and down. You can cause the rope to swing by holding circle. You'll swing in the direction you are facing, and the arc of your swing is derermined by how far up the rope you are; The closer you are to the bottom, the further into the air you will go. You can jump off of the rope at any time with the X button. Logically, you'll go further while swinging though. You can use these to cross platforms -- Especially by jumping from rope to rope. [Swimming] ========== From the start of the game, you'll be able to jump into water, and swim around on the surface with the analog stick. However, later in the came, you'll find an item called Poseidon's Trident. With that, you'll gain the ability to dive down under the surface, by pressing the square button. You can then swim around with the control stick, diving deeper with aquare, and rising with triangle or X. You can't do many attacks under the water, but you can press and hold R1 to do a tackle attack. You can use this technique to break down certain walls. _ _ |\___/ |----------------------------------------------------------------| \___/| | ___ | 03. Weapons and Magic [WEAPO] | ___ | |/ \_|----------------------------------------------------------------|_/ \| Blades of Chaos Description: ------------ These blades, are both a gift and a curse. They are permantently chained to Kratos's hands, enflamed into the skin. They do give him almost godly power though, and they look pretty cool. Kratos is able to use them both as if they were whips, or as swords, in his combos. They were a "gift" from Ares. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Icarus Lift X,X Double Jump Ascension Hold /\ Launch enemies and Kratos into the air Orion's Harpoon Tap () Slam a launched enemy into the ground Hades Reverse Tap L1 Press before an attack connects to parry Plume of Prometheus [],[],/\ Quick and powerful combo Level 2 Abilities: ----------------- Apollo's Ascension Hold L1+X Launches enemies and Kratos into the air Apollo's Offensive(Air) Hold L1+X Slam enemies back to the ground Hermes Rush R1 Ground Dash Attack Hermes Stomp (Air) R1 Air attack that drives Kratos to ground Level 3 Abilities: ----------------- Cyclone of Chaos Hold L1+[] 360 spin attack Cyclone of Chaos (Air) Hold L1+[] 360 spin attack in the air Spirit of Hercules /\,/\,/\ Powerful but slow combo Valor of Hercules /\,/\,[] Powerful but slow combo Hades Revenge []or/\orR1 USe this after parrying your foe Level 4 Abilities: ----------------- Rising Helios L1 + /\ Multi-hit attack that targets a single enemy Falling Helios (Air) L1 + /\ Multi-hit attack that targets a single enemy Hermes Fury R1,R1,R1 Multi-hit dash attack Achilles Flip X While evading press X to attack Level 5 Abilities: ----------------- Lance of the Furies Hold L1+() Continue to hold circle for a greater attack Lance of the Furies(Air)Hold L1+() Continue to hold circle for a greater attack Might of Hercules [],Hold [] Hold square in a combo for a powerful attack Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 1500 Rage of the Gods, Greater Damage, New Attacks Level 3: 2250 Greater Damage, New Attacks Level 4: 3750 Greater Damage, New Attacks Level 5: 9000 Greater Damage, New Attacks Rage of the Gods Description: ------------ Rage of the Gods is a burst of power that Kratos gets, which will allow him to kick even more ass than he normally would. However, it's not like your other weapons or magic, as you don't level it up, it doesn't use magic power, and it isn't listed seperately. You'll gain it when you upgrade the Blades of Chaos to level 2. When the Rage of the Gods meter is filled, you can activate this effect by pressing the L3 and R3 buttons at the same time. (Blades of Chaos) Level 2 Abilities: ----------------------------------- God Mode Activate L3 + R3 Activates Rage of the Gods (Blades of Chaos) Level 5 Abilities: ----------------------------------- Tempest of the Fates [],[],[] Powerful space clearing attack Athena's Blessing -------- Inf. magic while Rage of the Gods is active Poseidon's Trident Description: ------------ Poseidon's Trident is actually not a weapon. It is a special item that can be found in the Temple of Pandora, that will allow a user to breathe infinitely under water. It also gives Kratos the ability to dive down, which he could not do before. Abilities: ---------- Swim Down Hold [] Underwater, hold square to dive Swimp Up Hold /\orX Underwater, hold triangle or X to surface Swim Dash Hold R1 Hold then release to dash. Breaks barriers. Blade of Artemis Description: ------------ This is the only physical weapon, besides the Blades of Chaos. It is a huge sword, that can allow you to keep back even the toughest of foes. It's quite a bit slower than the Blades of Chaos though, and you can't do grapples while carrying it, unless there's a circle above your opponent (at which time Kratos will switch to the Blades of Chaos, before finishing them off.) Whether you upgrade this or not, depends on if you like shear power, or speed and a large moveset. If you want strength, obviously you'll want to make this weapon even stronger. If not, just ignore it and stick with the Blades of Chaos. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Sword Summon L1 + R1 Summons the Blade of Artemis Sword Summon (Air) L1 + R1 Summons the Blade of Artemis in air Sword Sheath L1 + R1 Switches back to Blades of Chaos Wrath of Artemis Hold L1+X Multi-hit sword spin Revenge of Artemis Hold L1+[] Slow and powerful multi-hitting attack Ascension of Artemis Hold L1+/\ Launches enemies and Kratos into the air Retribution of Artemis Hold L1+() Most powerful of all sword attacks Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 3750 Blade Power Increase Level 3: 10000 Blade Power Increase Poseidon's Rage Description: ------------ This is the first magic ability that you'll obtain, and it's a gift from Poseidon, given to Kratos so that he would be able to easily rid the sea from the evil Hydra. Basically, it's a large blast of energy, that surrounds Kratos, hitting enemies for damage. This will be one of your favorite skills throughought the game, and you should definitely upgrade it whenever possible. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Poseidon's Rage L2 Activate Attack Poseidon's Rage(Air) L2 Activate Attack Level 2 Abilities: ----------------- Wrath of Poseidon L2 + () Rapidly press circle for this powerful attack. Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 1650 Bigger Damage Area, More Power, Spin Attack Level 3: 4500 Bigger Damage Area, More Power Medusa's Gaze Description: ------------ With this ability, Kratos shines the eye of a Gorgon at his enemy, causing them to change to stone after a few seconds of staring. While in stone, an enemy can be killed with just a few hits, causing you to gain 15 red orbs. However, if they are not finished off, sometimes they'll be able to shake themselves free. Aphrodite says it was her gift, but you don't get it until you kill Medusa. The attack seems great at first, but in reality, it will be quite hard to use it efficiently in any real battle. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Gorgon Torrent Hold L2+[] Turns enemies to stone Level 2 Abilities: ----------------- Gorgon Flash Hold L2+/\ Rapidly freezes enemies Gorgon Flash (Air) Hold L2 Freezes enemies in the air Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 3000 Stronger Freeze Beam, Gorgon Flash Level 3: 7500 Stronger Freeze Beem, Gorgon Rage Zeus's Fury Description: ------------ The Thunderbolts are Zeus's gift. With this attack, you can lock onto enemies, and toss thunderbolts at them. This is the only projectile attack in the game. Because of that, it's the only attack you can take enemies far away out with. Still, it's not one of your stronger attacks, and may not be worth upgrading. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Zeus's Fury Hold L2+[] Hurls powerful thunderbolts at enemies Zeus's Fury (Air) L2 Hurls thunderbolts in the air. Level 2 Abilities: ----------------- Might of Zeus Hold L2+/\ Charge thunderbolts for a massive attack Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 750 Stronger Attack, Charge Attack, Faster Bolts Level 3: 3500 Stronger Attack, Super Charge Attack,Faster Bolts Army of Hades Description: ------------ This is an extremely powerful magic ability. You'll cause several souls to rise up from Hades, and fly around the area, killing enemies. This attack is really devestating, especially on high levels, where there the souls will be larger not only in strength, but in number; The souls easily dispose even armored enemies. As you can guess, it was a gift from Hades. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Army of Hades L2 Press L2 to summon the souls of the dead Army of Hades (Air) L2 Press L2 to summon the souls of the dead Level Experience Needed Upgrades -------- ----------------- -------- Level 2: 4500 More Powerful Souls Level 3: 10000 Most Powerful Souls Blade of the Gods Description: ------------ This is the weapon Kratos will use in the final battle with Ares, and nowhere else. It has four moves: One given by each of the Gods, to help Kratos take down Ares. Level 1 Abilities: ----------------- Zeus's Gift Hold L1+X No description Poseidon's Gift Hold L1+[] No description Athena's Gift Hold L1+/\ No description Hade's Gift Hold L1+() No description _ _ |\___/ |----------------------------------------------------------------| \___/| | ___ | 04. Walkthrough [GUIDE] | ___ | |/ \_|----------------------------------------------------------------|_/ \| --|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------|-|-- | | The Aegean Sea [G0001] | | --|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------|-|-- This game, starts by putting you on own a ship, which happens to have large numbers of Ares' minions on it. You'll be tossed right into a battle at the start of the game, but there's nothing too bad. Like many games, the first few areas are designed with an easy learning curve, to help you get used to things. That's exactly what you should be doing now. Take out the Undead Warriors in front of you, get used to things -- maybe even rip a few of their spines in half, by grabbing them and pressing triangle. However, if you strictly follow on-screen directions, you'll go through a process of learning the basic (square) and strong (triangle) attacks first. Use whatever method you like, as you clear out the hordes of enemies climbing onto the deck from the side of the ship. After a short session of fun, gore-filled brutality, a trapdoor on the ground in front of you, will bust open, with more enemies pouring out from it. You shouldn't have any problems, but try using a square-square- triangle combo. That'll take out groups at a time. When they're all gone, head over to the trap door on the ground. An R2 icon will appear on the screen. Repeatedly press it, until Kratos lifts the door, then jump downto the deck below. There, you'll find a treasure chest, with a green glow surrounding it. For future knowledge, green orbs, represent health, and if a treasure chest has a green glow, it will always contain green orbs. So, position yourself in front of it, and press R2 -- as the onscreen text tells you to -- and hold it, until Kratos opens the chest. After you've cleared its contents, walk to the right of it, and use a few attacks to destroy the pile of baskets in front of you, as well as the pile of rubble and planks just beyond them, clearing a path into the next room. For whatever reason, the game explains how to block (the L1 button). This may seem strange, as there doesn't appear to be any enemies in the room, but let it soak in, because when you try to walk down the next hallway, a Hydra's head will smash through the floor; It's time for your first BOSS fight! .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Hydra Head | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Attacks: | | ------- | | + When he first comes out of the wall, you'll take damage. | | + He'll stretch his head back, than take a couple of bites at you. | | + He'll make a quick head thrust, from side to side. | | + He can stop and roar, which is really more of a taunt. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strategy: | | -------- | | To start off, first, make sure that you either press block, or move | | away when you first here him breaking through the wood ahead, so that | | you don't get hurt. After that, hold bock until he sticks his head at | | you, and it hits twice. Then, slash him a couple of times with your | | Blades of Chaos, then hold the block button again, until you get a | | chance to attack again. Keep this up, until his life reaches near the | | two-third mark. At this time, he'll put his head down, and a circle | | icon will appear above it. When this happens, grab the beast with the | | circle button, and hit the correct buttons, as are shown on screen. | | Kratos will start whipping the Hydra into walls, and will end the | | combo by stabbing it's eye, causing it to retreat for now. | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------' After the Hydra's gone, head past where it was, towards the edge of the platform ahead. There, you'll see some planks of the platform remaining, over a large pool of water. Walk across the first of these planks carefully -- which won't be hard after a bit of practice, as Kratos has a slower, more balanced walk animation, for when walking on thin platforms. If you should slip, you can pull yourself up, by quickly pressing the X button. If you fall, swim to the side of the room you started on, walk up the stairs, and try again. After you get used to plank-walking, you'll be able to get to the other side of the room with ease. At first, however, you'll probably want to take your time, and go slow. There are several connected planks, so it's not just a straight line. After crossing, destroy all th barrells you see for more red orbs, then head through the door on your left. For some fun, you can head to the end of this hallway, and talk to the prisoner in the cage. He'll say that he'd rather die than be saved by "The Ghost of Sparda." And so, he shall perish! From his cell, head up the stairs to your right, where you'll find a red, glowing treasure chest. Red orbs can be used to upgrade your weapons and magic, and similair to how green chests always hold green orbs, red chests always hold red orbs. As you turn the next corner, you'll be told how to evade (by pressing the right analog stick.) This will prove useful in many of the future boss battles. For now though, head down the hall, and destroy another pile of rubble. Then, walk to the door in front of you, and open it with the R2 button. As soon as you open the door, you'll see many innocent humans running around, trying to escape their fate of being ripped apart by Harpies. You can actually rip some humans apart yourself, if you want (they are an excellent source of health orbs!) although believe or or not, the Harpies are your target. You can take them out without must trouble, by going in and whipping around your Swords of Chaos. However, you should try grabbing at least one, to see Kratos rip its wings off, for an instant kill. It's quite funny, although it provides no experience orbs. After a short while of exterminating Harpies, another Hydra will burst through the ground, setting you up for a second round. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Hydra Head II | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Attacks: | | ------- | | + He'll roar, than sweep his head in a full circle, along the ground. | | + He'll smash his head on the ground, 3 times -- Right, Left, Center. | | + He'll bite you, and toss you into his mouth. (You can counter this.)| | + He can do quick bites at you. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strategy: | | -------- | | This fight actually has more of a pattern than the original, and if | | you know what to do, it's much easier as well. First of all, stay in | | front of him, in the center. It will really make this fight easier. | | Hold L1 to block his attacks, if he roars and sweeps his head. If he | | smashes his head on the left, know that a smash to the right, followed| | by a smash in the center are coming up, so after you see that, roll to| | the left, until he finishes, then move back into the center. Make sure| | to be blocking as his head hits the floor though, or the shockwaves | | may knock you over. You can block his bite attack too. After each of | | these attacks, attack him a few times. Now, if he uses his *other* | | attack -- a quick side-swipe with no notice, take it like a man. It's | | actually going to help you. He'll take a tiny bit of health, and toss | | you into his mouth. There, you'll be able to rapidly press circle to | | push your way out. Doing so, will cause big damage on the Hydra, and | | it will even stun him. Furthermore, it often releases green orbs as | | well, which make up for the damage taken being bit in the first place!| | This is your only chance at a fancy finisher, but the Hydra will be | | going down eventually, reguardless. | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------' After the Hydra is taken out, head to the right side of the area -- the side opposite where you entered. You'll find two stone doors there. Lift them, and you'll find a chest in each side. Neither chest has a glow, and for reference, that means the chest will either contain red orbs, or a non-orb treasure. Both of these chests happen to contain red orbs. After emptying the contents of both, head to the center of the area, and jump into the whole the Hydra was sticking out of. You'll land in a flooded room of the ship. Swim to the top-left hand corner of the room, down a hallway there, to reach some netting on the wall. Jump onto it, and push forward to climb it up to the next deck, then jump off, onto the deck, at the top. There, you'll be told how to launch enemies into the air (by holding triangle) and you'll be given a group of Undead Warriors to practice on. For more joy in this, try pressing circle repeatedly after you launch someone. You'll keep smashing them into the ground! You could also grab enemies in the air, like they say, and that reaps some interesting kills as well; No pun intended. After the Undead Warriors stop respawning, head to the right-side of the deck. There, you'll flind a long wooden plank. Now it's time to test your real balancing skills; Because, if you fall here, you'll die. Walk slowly and carefully along the wooden platform, until you come to a fork. If you are confident in your balancing act, you can head to the right to reach a chest full of red orbs, then return to the fork. However, the path ahead lies by going straight. When you reach the ship on the othr side of the plank, move forward, and you'll see a cutscene of a man begging for you to help him -- right before he makes his bloody demise. After the cutscene ends, and before you move any further, open the green glowing chest in front of you for some health orbs, then press R2 on the yellow glowing stature on your left. These statues are used to save your game. Learn to love them, and use them often. After saving, drop down to the deck below. This next scene, is actually the first puzzle of the game. You'll be told how to move boxes (hold R2, move it with the analog stick, or kick it forward by pressing X). Conveniently, there's a box on the ground, just to the right of there. Could it be coincidence? I think not! Push the box to the right of the crate it's positioned behind. Then, immediately grab it, and kick it forward, with as much power as you can. Then, before the Undead Archers on the platform ahead can arrow it to death (if they manage to do that, you can find the box back at the start again) push it forward, up against the next crate. Push the box to the left of this crate, then give it another mighty kick forward, before you push it up against the next crate. After that, push it to the right, give it one more kick, then slide it between the two pillars (the ones with the archers on it) yourself. Jump ontop of it, then do a double jump by pressing the X button twice, to reach the ledge above. Pull yourself up, then slaughter all of the archers -- you can either jump to their platforms, or use your launching attack from the ledge you are on; whichever suits you. With them out of the way, open the green glowing chest from the left, to refill any of the health that you might have lost, then head into the room via the doorway on the right. Follow the short hallway, until you come out on another deck. Head to the left side of the deck, and press R2 near the large door, and you'll hear some women screaming -- but it's locked. If you wait a few seconds, you can hear the women scream as if they are being taken away. For now, however, you can't do anything about it. So, climb the ladder on the wall on the right, to reach the ship's masts. Jump onto it, and begin climbing. You'll be told of how to fight while climbing (square or tirangle, with the analog stick) just in time for some enemies to climb down after you. Defeat them -- and although the game hasn't told you of this move yet, you can grab them with circle, which is easier. If you use circle, know, that grabbing them from the side, will repeatedly bash their head into the wall, until they die, and from below, will grab their leg, and toss them to the ground. Both are instant kills. If people are below you, however, you'll have to attack them the old fashioned way. Make your way to the platform above, as you kill both people below, and above you. From there, begin climbing up the next mast. This time, the game will actually tell you about grabbing the enemies with circle. And since more enemies will attack you from the side, rather than below, you can make use of all the extra bloody kills! Make your way to the top of this mast, to another platform, then slaughter both of the Undead Warriors that are there as well. You'll then have three paths that you can take; Balancing across either of the sails, or jumping to the rope, and sliding down to the next ship. The sail on the right, goes nowhere, so don't bother crossing it. The sail on the left, leads to a chest full of red orbs, which you can get if you want. However, you'd then have to come back to the platform with the rope, as it's the only real way to move ahead in the game. When you're ready, jump onto the rope, and Kratos will slide down to the deck of the next ship. There appears to be three doorways here, but all three are blocked off by wooden planks. Smash the planks on the left and right-hand doors. Both doors have chests behind them. The chest on the left contains more red orbs, but the chest on the right, contains a new item: A Gorgon Eye. If you collect six of these, you're health meter will be increased. After you've plundered both of the chests, smash down the planks from in front of the middle door, to reveal a hallway. Walk down it, and you'll see a blue portal, with a Lightning Bolt symbol in front of it. This symbol, represents the Gods. Whenever you stand on one of these symbols, you'll gain a new weapon, or magic ability! This portal is guarded by Poseidon. He'll be willing to give you the magic power, Poseidon's Rage, if you are willing to go and kill the Hydra once and for all. You will then be told how to use magic (Select Poseidon's Rage by pressing right on the D-Pad -- which isn't hard, since it's your only magic now -- then use it by pressing L2.) No sooner should you learn this, will a gang of Undead Warriors appear. Test out your new ability, and barbecue them with it. When they're gone, head down the next hallway, and save at the savepoint outside. After saving, head over to the right, where you'll find two chests: A green one, and a blue one. The green one restores health, as you know. And if you can guess, the blue one restores magic energy, which you use-up with your magic attacks, such as Poseidon's Fury. Open both crates, then grab onto the netting, which is hanging off of the ship in front of you. Climb up onto the deck, then after another cutscene, you'll enter your first real boss battle, against the full form of the Hyydra -- three heads. This will also be the first battle where you have to put some thought into beating -- Simply attacking will not work. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: The Hydra | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Attacks: | | ------- | | + The first two heads, can do quick bite attacks. | | + The first two heads, can do sweeping attacks. | | + The first two heads, can pull you towards them, with their breath. | | + The first two heads can knock you off the mast, if you try to climb.| | + The main head can bite down on you, as well as the platform. | | + He can roar, and attempt to knock you off of the platform. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strategy: | | -------- | | Now if you payed attention to the cutscne, you would have heard one of| | the men screaming, that the main head keeps healing the others. If you| | try and climb the mast to reach him, however, you'll be knocked down. | | So, you'll have to do something about it. Stand in front of either one| | and hold block, to avoid damage. Then, whenever you get a chance to | | hurt them, do so. Throw in Poseidon's Rage now and again too, for a | | bit more damage. When one pulls you away from the other, with its | | breath attack, don't fight it. Just head over to the other one, and | | start hurting it instead. You should be getting both blue and green | | orbs from this damage, so it shouldn't be hard to keep up your assault| | on them. After you have one head to about a fifth of it's total | | health, it's head will smash into the boxes nearby, and it will be | | stunned. At this point, you'll have to focus on it, before it can get | | up again. Jump to the nearby crates, and jump up them, until you reach| | the top. There, you'll see a platform with a harpoon on it. Jump to | | it, and you'll cause it to drop, piercing their head to the deck. Now | | *that* will keep them out of the fight permanently. After doing this | | to both of the first two heads, climb up the masts in the middle of | | deck, to reach the main head. | | | | Now the main head looks intimidating, but it isn't too bad either, if | | you know how to take him down. First of all, he'll do two attacks | | that you'll have to watch out for, a roar, and a bite, where he'll | | slam his head down onto the platform. If he goes for the roar, just | | hold L1 to block, and you'll be fine. If you don't you'll fall off | | the platform, but you'll just be able to climb back up anyway. If he | | bites however, make sure to roll away. That attack will own you, if | | you try to stand still and just block it. Assuming you dodge it, he'll| | be stuck in the platform for a second, and will spend a few more | | seconds after that, shaking his head. Take this time to hit him a few | | times with your Blades of Chaos -- and if you can reach him before he | | pulls his head out of the ground, try nailing him with Poseidon's Fury| | as well. After you take off about one third of his health, his head | | will drop down. Take this time, to grab him, then rapidly press circle| | to ram his head into the column in the middle of the platform. After | | this, he'll restore some of his health, but don't worry. Just do it | | again. The real point of this, is to break the pole in the middle, | | apart. And on the third time, you'll succeed in doing so. After that, | | you'll be able to get the Hydra's health down to about 20 percent. | | Soon after that, a circle icon will appear above its head. Press it | | once, to jump on the beasts head, then press the button shown, to | | latch your swqord into its eye, as you jump off onto the netting on | | the side of the mast. Then, rapddly press circle, to impale the Hydra | | onto what's left of the pillar, killing it! | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------' After the Hydra's dead, walk into its mouth, and head down it's throat, until you see a man hanging on for his life. Watch the cutscene, which is quite funny, and you'll end up having the Key of the Captain. Take it, and leave the Hydra's head the same way you came in. Then, head to where the right of the first two Hydras was. Jump to the top of the boxes that were there, again, and you'll see some netting on your left. Jump to it, and pull yourself onto the platform that's there. Open the two chests that are on this platform. One contains green health orbs, and the other, a second Gorgon Eye. After you have both of the chests opened, jump onto the rope that's in the air, to slide down to where you had to move a box around earlier. Take the time to save at the nearby save point after you land. Walk ahead, along this deck, and some Archers and Undead Warriors will form. If you can take out 5 hydra heads in total, you should have no problem with these guys. Go for the archers first, then take out the warriors. When they're dead, make your way to the north bside of this deck, and you'll find the same box you pushed around earlier, still in top condition. Jump onto it, and from there, double jump to the ledge above, and pull yourself up. From there, again head through the hallway on your right to reach the deck with a locked door on it. This time, you have a key though. Open the door with R2, as said by the on screen message, then head down the hallway to another door. Youll see a cutscene of an awesome masscare here, as well as a cutscene which shows a bit of Kratos's past. Athena will then tell Kratos, that his final task for the Gods, is to kill Ares, the God of War, who is currently laying seige on Athens. The next stop is clear: The Gates of Athens. --|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------|-|-- | | The Gates of Athens [G0002] | | --|-|----------------------------------------------------------------------|-|-- This area starts you off next to a bed, with two women in it. Yes, this is the location of the infamous threesome mini-game. If you jump onto the bed, and press circle to grab the women, you'll enter a mini-game where you can press the buttons shown on screen to "do it." One icon you have not seen yet, is a circle with an arrow on it. This represents the control stick. Start by pushing it in the direction the arrow begins, and move it to where the arrow ends. It's not enough to push it in the right direction, you have to push it at the correct angle as well. You'll be watching a vase shake on a table during this, and if you make the correct button presses, you'll cause the vase to shatter onto the floor. The first time this happens, you'll earn quite a large amount of red orbs, but after that, you'll only earn a little. When you've had your fill -- Even Kratos is bound to have a limit -- leave the room, and walk through the next one, until you reach a save point. Save here. Walk down the next hall of the ship, where you'll find a ladder next to a blue and a green chest. Open both chests for a refill of your magic and health, then climb the ladder to the deck of the ship. There, walk to the right, where you will find a plank which goes from the ship to the dock. There, some Undead Warriors will form; But wait, these ones have armor! What that means, is that you can't just grab them and rip them in half. You'll have to fight them normally, until a circle icon appears above them. When that happens, it is all clear for you to grab them. Butcher the whole group of them, then head down the street further, to where there's a bridge. Cross it, and you'll find a few more warriors. Take them out, just as you did the first group. Then head forward, to the end of the path. You'll see a short bridge there. Walk to the end of it, and jump through the hole in the brick wall on your right. You'll land in a pool of water. Swim to the top-half of the pool, and jump onto the land there, then walk into the doorway. Head down the hallway, until some Undead Warriors come from around the corner to stop you. Slaughter them, then move on, to where you can see a chest. Open it, to obtain a Phoenix Feather. Collecting six of these items, will increase your overall magic meter. After you've got that, turn the next corner, and open the green chest you see for some health orbs. Then, climb some nearby boxes, and jump down to the street behind them. You'll notice that you're at the first bridge of the area, that you crossed after leaving the boat. Once again, cross the bridge, and walk down the path, until you reach the end of it. Again, walk across the wooden bridge here. However, this time, don't jump through the hole in the wall. Instead, jmup over the water in front of you, to the next platform. You'll see a lever there. Press R2 to pull it, causing the platform you are on to rise, like an elevator. When it reaches the top, walk to the right, and open a green chest for some health, then turn the next corner. You'll see a cutscene of some Minotaurs slaughtering a pair of soldiers. After the cutscene ends, you will of course be left to fight the Minotaurs. Unlike any of the other enemies you've seen, these guys are quite stong. They can hit you even when you block, sometimes, and they can guard against many of your attacks, as well. You can hit them with your Blades of Chaos to weaken them -- launching them into the air, by holding triangle works good -- but using Poseidon's Rage, will make things much easier. Also note, that when they are hurt, a circle icon will appear over their head. If you grab them when this appears, you'll be able to rapidly mash the circle button, to shove a sword down their throat. This can be especially useful, as it always grants you health orbs! After you've finished butchering the Minotaurs, head around the next corner, and open the blue chest that's there, to replenish your magic. Then, walk down the path further, and you'll see another lever. Once again, press R2 to pull it, causing the ground below you to rise as if it were an elevator. No sooner than you arrive, you'll see a few more soldiers be killed. After that, you'll be able to move forward, where you'll be greeted by another new type of enemy, the Cyclops. These guys are very dangerous, and will be able to withstand most of your attacks without flinching. You'll only have to face three of them though, so you should be able to take them. Roll out of the way when they swing their maces, and then hit them whenever you can. Using Poseidon's Rage may also help. When they have a circle above their heads, grab them, and press the buttons shown on screen for kills that are a bit cooler. After the fight, walk to the far north-east corner of the area, to find a red chest. Then, head to the far south-east corner of the area, to find a ladder. Drop down the ladder, to find a green chest, then climb the ladder again. Once you've opened both of these chests, walk across the main area, to find a temple on the left. There's a blinking chest in front of it; Something you've not seen up until now. The light blinks blue and green. Whichever you open the chest on, is the color orbs you'll get. For example, if you were low on health, you'd wait until the chest flashed green, then you'd open it. After you've taken your pick for the color orbs you want from this chest, head into the temple, and walk through the hallway until you enter a room with boxes and crates everywhere. Walk forward just after entering this room, and start hacking away at the wooden box, at the bottom of a column of metal ones. Then, head to the north-east corner of the room, and destroy another wooden crate. Destroying this one, will cause a doorway high upon the wall to be revealed. From there, head to the south west corner of the room, and jump onto the single metal crate there. Jump from there, to the top of the column of crates, two units high (the one which you shattered a wooden crate from earlier.) Then, jump to the column on your right. From the top of that column, you can see some treasure chests in an alcove on the wall. Jump to it, and open the two chests there. One contains blue orbs, and the other contains a Gorgon Eye. Open both, then jump back towards the column of crates, two units high. Jump to the next column from there -- the one with a treasure chest on it. Open the chest for some red orbs, then climb the ladder sitting against the wall, to reach a ledge. Walk across this ledge, to another pile of crates. Then, jump from there, onto the netting hanging off the top of the next pile. Pull yourself onto the top of it, then jump down to the next pile of crates, which is right in front of the doorway. From here, you can jump two piles to the left, and open a chest of red orbs, if you'd like. When you are ready to head onward, go through the doorway. As soon as you step into the next room, Kratos will look at a portal on the wall, with a Thunderbolt Symbol in front of it -- It's time to gain another magic power! Drop to the ground, to where you'll see another blue-green blinking chest. Open it while it's green, if you need health, but otherwise let it be. You're about to have a fight. Step onto the Thunderbolt symbol, to talk with Aphrodite. She'll offer you the power to "freeze your enemies where they stand." However, she'll need Medusa's head to do this. You're in luck though. No sooner than she says this, Medusa will slide down from the ceiling, and enter a fight with you. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Medusa | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Attacks: | | ------- | | + She has a green beam attack. It can turn you to stone. | | + She can rush forward, and scratch you. | | + She can do a tail swipe at you. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strategy: | | -------- | | She does have a few melee attacks, but you don't have to really worry | |
