Welcome to my God Of War Walkthrough for PS2. This guide will detail everything you need to know about the game from the intricate puzzles to boss strategies. All strategies and tactics here apply to ALL difficulties. Before you read this guide, I urge that you play the game first and figure out the puzzles for yourself. If you still get stumped, then you can come to me for help, my babies. ENOUGH CHIT-CHAT, FIGHT! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ THE GAMEPLAY ASPECTS +++ ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Welcome to the world of Ancient Greece! War is a bitch and so are your Enemies! Kill them with everything you got! 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 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ WEAPONS +++ 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. 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. To fill the Rage 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'S 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. The game offers you FOUR different opportunities to retrieve two keys, so don't worry if you missed some of them. +++BIG NOTE: The Prima Strategy guide lists 36 Gorgon Eyes and 36 Phoenix Feathers available in the game. In actuality, 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. STUPID PRIMA!!! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= == 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 Combo meter adds up your total hits 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 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 +++END OF GAME NOTE: Your upgraded items DO NOT carry over to another new game! When you start a new game or difficulty, Kratos will begin with the usual weak weapons. Yes, it SUCKS that it works that way! STUPID DAVID JAFFE!!! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ THE MAIN WALKTHROUGH +++ ____ __ __ __ _ ______ _/ / /__/ /_/ /_ _________ __ ______ _/ /_ | | /| / / __ `/ / //_/ __/ __ \/ ___/ __ \/ / / / __ `/ __ \ | |/ |/ / /_/ / / ,< / /_/ / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / /_/ / / / / |__/|__/\__,_/_/_/|_|\__/_/ /_/_/ \____/\__,_/\__, /_/ /_/ /____/ Welcome to God Of War! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ THE AEGEAN SEA +++ ________ ________ ___ _____________________ _ __ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / | / ____/ ____/ ____/ | / | / / / / / /_/ / __/ / /| | / __/ / / __/ __/ / /| | / |/ / / / / __ / /___ / ___ |/ /___/ /_/ / /___/ ___ |/ /| / /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ /_/ |_/_____/\____/_____/_/ |_/_/ |_/ _____ _________ / ___// ____/ | \__ \/ __/ / /| | ___/ / /___/ ___ | /____/_____/_/ |_| ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ++AREA: SHIP BOW First things first, test out all your combo skills and eliminate all the enemies that appear until a cutscene occurs. After the baddies are gone, 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 up the Blood Meter. Enter through the hallway on the right side and destroy the barricade. Continue through the hallway to your first sub- boss battle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA SPAWN +++ __ ____ _____ ___ ___ _______ ___ _ ___ __ / // /\ \/ / _ \/ _ \/ _ | / __/ _ \/ _ | | /| / / |/ / / _ / \ / // / , _/ __ | _\ \/ ___/ __ | |/ |/ / / /_//_/ /_/____/_/|_/_/ |_| /___/_/ /_/ |_|__/|__/_/|_/ This battle may look difficult but it actually ISN'T. The Hydra Spawn only does a one or two-Chomp attack and can simply be evaded with evasion rolls. Here's what you do: Stand near the entrance doorway (you'll be safe here) and wait for it to do a two-Chomp attack. Immediately roll in twice and perform ONE combo on the Spawn and then IMMEDIATELY ROLL BACK towards the doorway! Repeat this simple tactic until it keels 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 the sequence is performed correctly, you'll witness an INTENSE display of brutality. Memorize the button layout of the controller! If you can't figure which button is which, now is the time to do so! If you screw up the sequence, the spawn's health will regenerate and you DON'T want that! Defeat the spawn to continue with the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ++AREA: BACK OF THE SHIP After the battle, head forward and walk through a series of scaffoldings Prince-Of-Persia style. Continue through the destroyed hole on the left side and continue through. Ignore the stupid prisoner (you can't help him anyway) and make your way upstairs. Destroy the barricade and then open the door and exit. Eliminate all the winged foes with some grab moves and kill the defenseless humans to replenish any Health. Continue through to another Hydra spawn battle on the deck. Unfortunately, no button pressing Brutality can be found here. Goddammit! Now that you are in a different area, the Hydra spawn will have a few new moves for you. --HEAD POUND It'll pound it's head on the deck in a left, right, center 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 with some hard combos to trigger the next Checkpoint. Jump down to the water and swim to the other side. Climb up the ropes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ++AREA: SHIP TO SHIP Climb up the wall and eliminate the enemies here. Carefully cross the scaffoldings to the other side. TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL! There's a Chest on one side filled with Blood if you need it. Cross the bars and head for the ship to trigger a cutscene. Once the cutscene finishes, open the Chest to replenish Health. SAVE GAME ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: CRATE-PUSHING PUZZLE +++ Make your way 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 of the ship? You need to push that thing all the way to the other side to jump to the stern above where the archers are standing. If you try to push the crate manually, it will get destroyed halfway though. Instead of all that drama, press the R2 Button to grab the crate and then press and hold the X Button to do a charged kick. Doing this will fling the crate a far distance. Keep using charged kicks until you can safely position the Crate under the pillars. Once you make it to the other end, jump on the Crate and then jump up top to slay those sonofabitch archers. 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 scale the ropes all the way 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: THE LORD POSEIDON Jump to the top of the Ship's sail and then grab onto the long rope and slide down to the next area. There are three barricades to destroy: the left barricade contains a Blood Chest, the right barricade has a Gorgon's Eye, and the middle barricade leads to 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 with your newly acquired Magic. Once that's done, head through the halls outside to find the next Save Point. SAVE GAME Replenish your Health and Magic Meters at the Chests and then climb up the rafters to encounter your first boss! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA - PART ONE +++ __ ____ ______ ____ ___ / / / /\ \/ / __ \/ __ \/ | / /_/ / \ / / / / /_/ / /| | / __ / / / /_/ / _, _/ ___ | /_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_/_/ |_| For this battle, Kratos needs to subdue both of the Hydra spawn so that he can reach the main boss. 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 nearby large anchor-spear to pin it down. Do this for both Spawns. 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! After each spawn does an attack, counter with a 2-Hit Combo and pull back. Subdue both of the spawns to trigger the second part of this battle +++ BOSS BATTLE: HYDRA - PART TWO +++ Finally! Climb the ropes to trigger the epic battle. Hydra only has one attack (technically two): a painful Chomp bite and a pretty useless Roar that sends you flying to the bottom of the ship. 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! DO NOT walk on the planks on the left or right side. STAY WHERE YOU ARE! Lure the Hydra to chomping the plywood by standing in front of it. When it starts moving its head back, IMMEDIATELY go back to the Safe Spot to evade the attack. When it chomps the plywood, quickly do a 2 or 3-Hit Combo on his head. Repeat this tactic until you whittle its health to 50%. See how simple that was? Once the boss keels over in pain, run up to his head and press the Circle Button to trigger the kill sequence. Kratos will fling his blades and pull the Hydra's head. Rapidly tap 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 and expose into a large stake. Once the stake is exposed, whittle the boss's health until it keels over. Trigger the kill sequence and start tapping until Kratos completes the fatality. OUCH!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle is over, walk inside the Hydra's mouth to obtain a Key Item. Make your way out and climb up the crates to the top. Open the left Crate for a Gorgon's Eye and then slide down 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. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ THE GATES OF ATHENS +++ ________ ________ _________ _________________ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / ____/ |/_ __/ ____/ ___/ / / / /_/ / __/ / / __/ /| | / / / __/ \__ \ / / / __ / /___ / /_/ / ___ |/ / / /___ ___/ / /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ \____/_/ |_/_/ /_____//____/ ____ ______ ___ ________ _________ _______ / __ \/ ____/ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / /_ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / /_/ / __/ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / \____/_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Once all that M-Rate foreplay is finished, head out of the bedroom and SAVE your game. +++POON-TANG CLAN: If you want some extra lollipop licking from the lovely ladies, jump on the bed and press the Circle Button to get your freak on with the honeys! Press 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 towards the elevator. Before using the first elevator, jump through the large crack on the right side of the building. 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. Now go and use the Elevator and go up to encounter a new enemy. --NEW ENEMY: MINI-TAUR 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 another 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 also a hidden Chest in this room with a Gorgon's Eye, so grab it! Enter the doorway and walk up to the Power-Up station to trigger a cutscene. After that, its battle time! --NEW ENEMY: GORGON The Gorgon enemies are NOT a difficult 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 to the top. Do you 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 contraption and then activate it to break open the wooden door. Enter the next 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. Scale 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 tap the R2 Button to topple it over to trigger a cutscene clue. Jump down and climb the ladder on the other side while killing the baddies. Destroy the weak pillars to reach the higher roof and climb up. Kill the enemies here and activate the Bow and Arrow set. Jump on the rope to shimmy Sam-Fisher style to the other side. Rid the enemies in your way and then slide down the ladder and open the metal door with the Helmet logo. Use the Bow and Arrow contraption 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ THE ROAD TO ATHENS +++ ________ ________ ____ ____ ___ ____ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / __ \/ __ \/ | / __ \ / / / /_/ / __/ / /_/ / / / / /| | / / / / / / / __ / /___ / _, _/ /_/ / ___ |/ /_/ / /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ /_/ |_|\____/_/ |_/_____/ __________ ___ ________ _________ _______ /_ __/ __ \ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / / / / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / / / /_/ / / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / /_/ \____/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ++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 to take. Take the one on the left side first. Head down the stairs and an explosion will block the way. Make your way through the gate for another battle. --NEW ENEMY: MINI-TAUR W/MALLET and SWORD To evade its Mallet Smashwave, roll to the left or right! Double jumping will only get you hurt. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: STEP-BUTTON PUZZLE +++ There is a Step-Button on the other side of the floor. If you step on it, the exit door will open but you will NOT have enough time to exit before it closes. To solve this puzzle, you need to use the Medusa's Gaze to freeze the Mini-taur as it steps on the button. Lure the enemy onto the button and then freeze him when he steps on it. From there, quickly roll to the opened gate before the enemy un-freezes. This will take a few of attempts but the Magic Chest here will always replenish your Magic just in case you need it. Exit outside to the next area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ++AREA: ATHENS VILLAGE ROAD As you battle through the town, you can destroy the doors for each house to find some Chests. There are 2 Phoenix Feathers and 2 Gorgon's Eye in this road alone, so start exploring! Kill all the enemies that appear and then approach 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? Use a double-jump towards the rope to grab it and then 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 Use simple evasion and hard Combos on this bitch. 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, so do it! 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 paintings. Destroy them and open the Chest to find a Phoenix Feather. Follow the woman as she runs upstairs. 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. Collect the goodies and then continue. Jump the gap and continue up the stairs to a cutscene. SAVE GAME Open the Chest on the left side of the Save Point to find a Phoenix Feather. Jump down to where the woman fell and grab the Key Item. With the Key Item in your possession, you have to make your way all the way BACK UPSTAIRS 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ ROOFTOPS OF ATHENS +++ ____ ____ ____ ________________ ____ _____ / __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ ____/_ __/ __ \/ __ \/ ___/ / /_/ / / / / / / / /_ / / / / / / /_/ /\__ \ / _, _/ /_/ / /_/ / __/ / / / /_/ / ____/___/ / /_/ |_|\____/\____/_/ /_/ \____/_/ /____/ ____ ______ ___ ________ _________ _______ / __ \/ ____/ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / / / / /_ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / /_/ / __/ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / \____/_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 You have to be creative with your evasion and BLOCK his attacks! 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 and then ascend the stairs to kill more 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 on a ledge. Jump to 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. Enter 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 door on the left side to find a lever and some enemies. Kill the enemies that appear but DO NOT PULL THE LEVER YET! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: ZEUS PUZZLE SOLUTION +++ Notice that the Bow and Arrow contraption is facing opposite the wooden door. You need to rotate the contraption so that it faces the doorway. 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 to bust open the door. See how easy that was? Proceed through to trigger a cutscene. ++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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: THE COWARDLY BITCH PUZZLE +++ Continue up the roofs until you meet a cowardly bitch who won't open the Drawbridge. To get him to raise the bridge, shoot a lightning bolt with your new Magic power up his ass and the bridge will rise. 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. Enter the elevator and go down. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PATH TO THE ORACLE +++ ____ ___ ________ __ __________ / __ \/ |/_ __/ / / / /_ __/ __ \ / /_/ / /| | / / / /_/ / / / / / / / / ____/ ___ |/ / / __ / / / / /_/ / /_/ /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ \____/ ________ ________ ____ ____ ___ ________ ______ /_ __/ / / / ____/ / __ \/ __ \/ | / ____/ / / ____/ / / / /_/ / __/ / / / / /_/ / /| |/ / / / / __/ / / / __ / /___ / /_/ / _, _/ ___ / /___/ /___/ /___ /_/ /_/ /_/_____/ \____/_/ |_/_/ |_\____/_____/_____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cross the scaffoldings 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 that there's 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 then double-jump onto that ledge with the chests. 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! Make your way to the Oracle Garden to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, eliminate all the enemies here to trigger ANOTHER cutscene. After that 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: THE HARPY PUZZLE +++ Enter into the temple and take the stairs to a large room. Before opening the door on the left side, you'll notice a bunch of Harpies entering the room via the cracks on the wall. To cover up those cracks, Kratos will need to use something to block the crack. Make your way to the front of the room and grab the golden statues with shields. Line up the statues to cover each of the cracks to stop spawning the winged demons. Now open the door and head upstairs and then carefully cross the bars to the other side without any Harpy interference. ++NOTE: There's a large piece of glass on the other end of the scaffolding that you can smash that has a Chest with a Gorgon's Eye! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE GAME Continue up the halls while killing fools on the way out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ PUZZLE: THE HANGING ORACLE PUZZLE +++ AAHH!! SHUT UP ALREADY!!! To solve this puzzle, Kratos will need to use an elevated stand in order to reach the top of the area. 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.) --Grab the other statue and then wait near the elevator. --When the elevator goes down again, drop the statue ON TOP of the first statue. --Jump down and drag the two-tiered statue near the water fountain. Climb up to the top of the gazebo and use the two-tiered statue as a platform to reach the hanging vines. From there, you have 66-Seconds to make your way to the other side and save the Oracle. GOOD LUCK! The solution is tedious but quite simple: you just need to place one statue on top of the other! Before you leave the area, find all the hidden Chests and a Gorgon's Eye. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +++ THE SEWERS OF ATHENS +++ _____ _______ ____________ _____ ____ ______ / ___// ____/ | / / ____/ __ \/ ___/ / __ \/ ____/ \__ \/ __/ | | /| / / __/ / /_/ /\__ \ / / / / /_ ___/ / /___ | |/ |/ / /___/ _, _/___/ / / /_/ / __/ /____/_____/ |__/|__/_____/_/ |_|/____/ \____/_/ ___ ________ _________ _______ / |/_ __/ / / / ____/ | / / ___/ / /| | / / / /_/ / __/ / |/ /\__ \ / ___ |/ / / __ / /___/ /| /___/ / /_/ |_/_/ /_/ /_/_____/_/ |_//____/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE GAME There are two paths to take: the Sword path and the path going up the mountain.
