The God of War, Kratos, is taking his games off the mobile PSP and causing mythological destruction in HD on the Playstation 3. Play through two of Kratos’ PSP adventures, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. That’s a lot of action packed into one box, with the same bombastic God of War action gameplay that focuses on large set-piece sequences and the occassional puzzle as you slice and dice mythological monsters with a variety of special weapons and unique abilities.
For more brutal lists, check out the trophies for both God of War PSP titles, and our cheats page.
Keep coming back for more updates.
God of War: Chains of Olympus
The Shores of Attica
Begin by taking out the attacking Persian soldiers with the awesome combos that Kratos is now famous for. After you kill the next wave of soldiers, walk over to the Ballista and pull down on the left analog stick to launch it.
Drop down through the hole in the roof and kill the attacking group of soldiers before opening the chest full of green orbs to boost your health. Walk to the right and tap O repeatedly to open the door…
Cyclops! Tap O again to avoid getting crushed. After he gets eaten by that huge beast, perform rolls to evade his chomps and the occasional fire blast. Hit him with combos in between his attacks.
Once he is knocked out, walk toward the broken pillar and use it to whack him and scare him off. Walk outside and stay clear of the red circles to avoid getting hit by cannon balls.
Get to the battering ram and hold O to push it toward the palace wall. Push it all the way to the wall, then get behind it and tap O repeatedly to pull it back and break through the wall.
Before you enter through, jump over to the platform on the left and open the chest to acquire a Gorgon Eye. Head through the wall and kill the Persian soldiers. Head up the steps, turn right, swim across the water and kill the group of archers.
Open the chest if you need the health, then pull the crank towards the camera, then sprint towards the closing door at the other side. Drop down and kill the group of soldiers.
Walk over to the wooden tower in the right corner and perform combos to break the bottom wall. Get the red orbs inside, then head up the ladder across the way. Kick down the mini bridge and kill the soldiers on the other side.
Open the chest of red orbs to the left. Carefully cross over the wooden plank to the right, then raise up the door on the other side. Following the cutscene, you’ll have to fight more Persian soldiers and there beaded leader.
For his normal swinging attack, just block, but for his charging attack where his blade turns red, just jump away or roll. Once you see the O above his head, do the button press sequence, which is done only after the cutscene.
Once outside, kill the soldiers, knock down both ladders and turn the ballista into position to fire at the Basilisk. Open the health and magic chests, then open the door. Break some jars on the sides and then up the ladder there will be an orb and Phoenix Feather chest. Then go turn the crank to go below.
Head down the path and pummel the cyclops with combos. Open the health and magic chests, then raise up the gate. Kill the soldiers in this next area before you save your game.
Grab the orb chest and the Gorgon Eye on the left. Go up the ladder to wall climb. At the top, make your way right and knock down two ladders, then jump across a gap to land on a roof with two archers. Kill them and grab the orb chest and the Phoenix Feather.
Jump back and go kill the other archer on the other roof, and go ahead and kill
the others and knock down the ladders. Go break the wall on the right and pull the lever
that will take you down.
Head down the stairs and go left for orbs in crates and a chest. At this time you should go to the pause menu where you will find the Power Up screen and can upgrade your weapons. Go through the door and up the steps.
Following the cutscene, kill the soldiers. Where you find the archers, there will
be an orb chest. Go around the corner to find an alley with two more. After you slash through the area for crates, go find the big box and kick it onto the pressure pad by the door.
Pick up the body you saw the Basilisk drop and take it through to drop it on another pressure pad. Go through the second door. Down the hallway pick up the the orb chest, health and magic chests before you save your game. Get the and Phoenix Feather, then open the door and go out into the open area to prepare for another boss fight.
Run to the edge of the bridge to have him show up. Like before, you only have to worry about his three attacks: claw swipe, chomp and fire sweep. Evade these by rolling and/or jumping and then hit him with combos in between.
When he retreats above the door, run toward his claw and watch out for the fireballs. Jump when they almost hit the ground and press O when you can. All you have to do is
spin the analog stick around circles, so that you are pulling him toward you.
Once you pull him back down, repeat the process of pushing him back one more time. After this, there will be one more go at his claw on the bridge, and as soon as you stun him, quickly run to his throat and press O. Follow the button sequence when prompted to in order to defeat him.
Open the chest for a Phoenix Feather, then climb over the ledge for an orb chest, and then climb down to the bottom.
The City of Marathon
After you save your game, break open the door. Following the quick cutscene. Take out the lone solider and use the Efreet if he’s blocking. Go through the doorway and break the wooden boards you see in front of you for an orb chest and another chest which doesn’t have an eye or feather.
Run into the open for a fight with three more undead (remember to do cyclones and
use the Efreet when they block). Get the orb chest in the first house, and then run into another fight with more undead archers that fire faster than humans.
Quickly kill the soldiers and then cyclone the archers to death. There is health and magic chests, as well as another orb chest in a house on the left side of the street, and then two in the next house on the right.
Following another cutscene, push the box through the fog for a short distance to open the door. Inside, near the door will be a chest with a Gorgon Eye. Move ahead to fight a Gorgon. Efreet over and over until the O button appears above its head. (When these things shriek, quickly tap the L1 and R1 to roll away and avoid the attack.)
Quickly turn the crank on the right to close the gate and stop the flow of Gorgon. Kill the archers down the way, grab the orb chest on the right and then go
back for a torch on the statue.
Bring the torch to the wagon down the slope and toss it in. Start pushing it through the fog until there is an archer on the left. Stop and then go and kill him and open the chests. Then push the wagon a bit further for an enemy on the right. Kill him and collect a Phoenix Feather in a chest for what should be your fifth to gain more magic.
Keep pushing the wagon to the end and run forward. What the Sabertooth Tiger? Don’t be intimidated, you can Efreet it until the O button appears and then follow the three analog stick sequences to defeat it.
Break the rock on the right, kill some archers, open some chests and then climb up the wall.
The Temple of Helios
Save and cross the bridge. Kill the soldiers and the Gorgon, then move along to the rocky area where you can bust some little spikes by the wall for orbs. Climb the cliff area to the very top.
Following the cutscene, check the statue, then go left across the pool for a Gorgon Eye. Open the orb chest in the corner of the other pool, then go save, use the health chest if you need to and take the lift up.

Pull out the large statue on the left and pull the lever behind it. Do the same with the statue on the opposite side. Head through the-now open door on the right and kill the three undead soldiers that will appear before pulling the lever in the back left corner.
Head back outside and through the doorway on the left. Save your game, open the multi-orb chest, then turn left through the doorway. Turn left in this huge roof and head down the stairs. Open the two red orbs chests over to the right (before crossing the bridge) and get the Phoenix Feather a little further down to the right.
Head onto the center platform and break the two clamps to get the lift dropping. Kill the same new enemies you just faced. These guys will be relentless, so keep the combos coming.
Once you reach the bottom (and all enemies are dead) follow the on-screen instructions to break the armor of this new enemy. The Square, Square, Triangle button combo will break his shield. After you do that, then follow up with an Efreet and maybe another. When you see the O button over his head, finish him off.
Step off the platform and open all the chests along the wall. Head up the stairs, break a few pots and advance toward the next room. Destroy the stature to the right, then, open the two red orbs chests over to the left.
Hack and slash the pillar to the right, then cross over it. Following the cutscene, read the tablet on the left, then go right for a blinking point on the ground that will let you grab the wall and bring down a piece. Cross over and then come forward to find an orb chest along with a Gorgon Eye.

Go back to the wall and pull it out again. As it moves back into position, go around the left side and jump in the opening to get on the other side. Go around to the right to find a Phoenix Feather. Then go pull both statues back so that the light goes into the two spots on the wall.
Jump on the platform, stand on the glowing spot, press L1 to use the Sun Shield and then tap the O button to use the light. Go back to the previous room and go up to the horse statue to set a light back at the shrine. Take the big steps down and you’ll hit a health chest. In this big room, turn to the right to find a Gorgon Eye, then go left through the portal.
The Caves of Olympus
After you save your game, jump in the water. Get the Gorgon Eye on the right and two red orb chests (you should be due for an upgrade if you haven’t already done so). Head left and start climbing the rock wall.
Once you find Triton’s Lance (in front of the statue), jump off the side and into the water. Swim left and dive with Square. Go all the way to the left for a multi-chest and a red orb chest. Then swim all the way right and dash through the bars to get through.
Dash through a second set of bars to find two red orb chests and a Phoenix Feather. Keep going until you hit the lever. Pull it to reveal another path along the rock wall. Take it up, carefully make your way across the ceiling and once you get to the top, lift up the door.
Minotaur time! His three main attacks (a double sword swipe, a headbutt and a charge) are easily manageable. Double jump to avoid the double swipe, block the headbutt with the Sun Shield (although this is tricky) and he only charges when you’re far away from him.
Combine combos with Efreet attacks, then when you see the O button to finish him off. After the fight, open the multi-chest to the right, then turn the crank and go across the bridge.
Following the…uh…revealing cutscene, open the multi-chest on the left. Keep going and dive when in the water to find a Gorgon Eye in a chest. Swim till you reach land and kill the attacking enemies. Save and open the chest before going to grab the Primordial Fire.
You will then see the three statues set their shields in front of you. Go to the back of the platform and wait for a shield to glow, face it, wait for it to fire, and tap L1 right before the fireball hits you. Do this three times and you get the Light of Dawn. Test out your new skill to kill the six enemies.
With them dead, go left and right for red orb chests and a Phoenix Feather, then go down the center. Open the door and go through, drop down and take out the group of attacking enemies. Jump off the side into the water below. Use the save point and go back through the portal.

Turn it right to reveal a statue and go pull it out and place it on the pressure pad. Turn the lever left to reveal another statue and go take this to the pressure pad in the lower left.
Go to the lever so that the beam shines and the statue’s beam will reveal another statue. Take it to the lower right pad and do the same. Get the two that point up (north) to be on the lower pads, and then get the other two to that face left and right to face each other on the upper pads. With all four on, a platform will rise with two more reflecting points.
With the statues set in place, you will get on the lever, the beam will shine, and if you jump on the raised platform, you will find a glowing spot where the two beams cross that you can use your shield. Then you will have a place to touch under the horse statue.
Following the cutscene, go touch the new spot where the lever was to take a ride down below. At the platform, proceed forward for a chest with a Phoenix Feather, go left for a red orb chest and head through the door on the right.
Open the red orb chest as well as the health and magic chests in the hall. After you head up the steps, obtain the Gorgon Eye in the chest to the right. Push the nearby statue onto the glowing spot. Once there, hack the statue up to reveal a glowing spot on top of it. Get up there and press L1, then go up the wall and touch the spot under the statue to light the final beam at the shrine.
Head through the door which will take you to the wall at the very beginning of this temple. Climb the wall down and press X to slide all the way down. Kill the group of undead as you continue down the path.

Kill the two Medusas here. Remember, if you see the green glare, roll away and keep moving to avoid being turned to stone. If you do get caught in there gaze, tap L1 and R1 to break free, quickly. Use Triangle button attacks and combos to take care of them.
Cross the ruined archway and come toward the screen to see a rock wall you can climb down. Double jump at the gap as far as you can and wall hug to carefully walk the ledge to find a Phoenix Feather. Then double jump back over and climb up.
Get to the upper gap in the stairs, double jump and follow take the path to a fight with two Cyclopses. If you Blades of Chaos are up to level 3, you shouldn’t have too much trouble here. Unleash some Efreets on them, then when the O button appears above them, finish ‘em off.
When the first is dead, soldiers will appear. Use some Triangle attacks on them and/or cyclone attacks to quickly kill them. Take care of the second Cyclops, then open the multi-chest.
Head into the ruined building to the right to find a red orb chest. At the gap nearby, just double jump to hit the higher ledge. Break the statue and kill the Harpies that appear. Continue forward and break the rock wall on the left.
Kill the Medusa that appears, then you the Gorgon Eye open the red orb chest. Next, grab the nearby box and push it to the right so that you are under the health chest, then use it to jump up and open it.
Jump up to the next ledge, climb up the wall and make your way across the lava waterfall to the right. Drop down on the other side and kill the three undead soldiers. Knock over the pillar on the right after and then go save. Use the pillar to double jump up to the ledge. Once up here, smash the partially broken wall to reveal a Phoenix Feather.
Cimb the two rock walls nearby, then follow the path around past the big tree. Fight and kill the Armor guys and Harpies at the gate. With them destroyed, open the health and magic chests, then head through the newly opened door.
Follow the path all the way to the room with the statue in the middle. Open the red orbs chests and get the Gorgon Eye on the right. Head into the next room and use several Efreets to help you kill the attacking enemies (make sure to take out the Harpies first).
Head through the doorway and take the path to find a red orb chest and a save point, then ring the huge bell. Following the cutscene, it will be boss time. Charon has a huge scythe and moves quickly, but other than that, he’s nothing to worry about.
Hit him with combos using the Square button, but when you see him “rev” up his scythe, just hold down L1 until his spinning attack is over, then go back to whacking away at him. When he disappears and then reappears, just stand back, wait for him to fire one of his green orbs, then reflect it with L1 right before it hits you.
Go back on offense to keep chipping away his health. At some point he will go recharge his health in the green fog, and that will be the end of this battle.

Following the cutscene, tap R1 and L1 to break out of the chains. Come towards the camera (kill the prisoner on the wall to the left for some extra orbs) and save your game and get the Phoenix Feather.
Move along the path and kill more the prisoners to gain health and orbs. Turn right at the fork and kill the six soldiers, followed by the four archers. Open the magic chest where the archers were, then come back to the fork and head left.

Jump back down to the open area and place his body on the pressure pad in the center, then use the key on the lock. Cross the bridge to open the two chests and another save point. Head into the shrine area and kill the two enemies in armor (Efreet time).
Press the O button while standing on the flashpoint on the center of the floor, then rotate the left analog stick to tear down the statue of Zeus. After you grab the Gauntlets of Zeus, you’ll have to fight a bunch of soldiers with shields. With them dead, cross back over the bridge and break the shinny wall.
Sprint down the hallway to escape the spiked wall that will be chasing you, making sure to bust a few walls along the way. Break the Statue of Zeus, then Poseidon for a chest and then Hades for the path.
Once you get to the huge room, kill the three Harpies that appear. Next, go right and cross over the lower chain to climb a wall where you will find a chest and a save point. Head through the tunnel, drop down and kill the Harpies and the armored Cyclops. Kill the Harpies first, then use the Gauntlet to break his layers of armor and then beat him up with charged hits (Efreets, as usual, work great, too).

Kill the two soldiers and and climb up the wall on the left and kill two Medusas and some shielded soldiers. Open the two chests on the left and then turn the single crank. Go back to the start area and double jump along the two platforms (Note: If you don’t time your double jump perfectly toward the second platform, you’ll die, so don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it at first.)
Kill the three archers, then make a right down the path and then open the door at the end. Following the cutscene, open the multi-chest on the right, then head up the rock wall.

Charon Round 2! Fight him just like before; however, when he goes to power up, quickly run to the green pillars with your Gauntlets and break one. Go back to attacking him, then when the second pillar appears, smash it.
Following this, he’ll send a shockwave across the ground. Wait for him to raise his scythe, then double jump until the wave passes. He’ll do it three or four times, then you’ll have an opportunity to hit him with some Cyclones. Repeat this process about three more times, then back to the original routine.
When he brings back the pillars for the last time, bust them and he will be stunned. Go up and press the O button. Go grab the mask, but the fight won’t be over just yet. Reflect three green orbs attacks, press O, follow two button sequences and then mash the O button to end the fight.

You’ll have a big fight with some archers and soldiers, then a Sabre and then an armor dude and some more Archers. With them all dead go open both chests, save and head up the stairs.
Final boss time! To start off, hit Persephone with several combos using your blades, then double jump away from her punches. She will eventually either fly up with green fists and charge at you for a double punch, or she will throw a rock at you—double jump to avoid the former, roll to dodge the latter.
With her health half gone, be ready to tap L1 and R1 and then go into a button
press sequence with Atlas. If you pull it off, you’ll regain your health and magic and go into the next part of the fight.
Once Persephone starts flying, get ready to deflect her energy ball. Once you hit her and she is stunned, then jump in the air and hit her with Cyclone attacks then quickly run away to avoid her light beam just run away. Continue to reflect her energy balls, but keep in mind you’ll have to hit her more and more each time.
Each time she’s stunned, hit her with Cyclone attacks. When her health is almost gone, she will fall to the ground. Tap the O button repeatedly to block her energy beam, then be ready for the button sequence to defeat her and complete the game.
God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Atlantis
Begin by destroying the group of underwater undead monsters by alternating between the X and triangle button. Quickly alternate between L1 and R1 to escape if one of them takes ahold of you.
Use your arsenal of combos to destroy this first wave, then do the same with the next. Hold L to block attacks and Hold down triangle to launch enemies into the air. These guys know how to use their tridents, so make sure to keep moving to avoid their strikes. While holding L1 and R1, move your toggle switch to perform a roll.
Once they are destroyed, kick through the door to head under the ship. Destroy this next wave of enemies before opening the green chest on the right to regain some extra health.
Before heading out the door, open the chest to the left to gain extra power ups for weapons and magic. Head up the stairs and kick open the door.
These little spiders can be annoying, but watch out for the huge tentacle of this giant squid as you fend them off. Take a few shots at the tentacle to cause it to crawl back into the sea.
Perform several lengthy attacks against the wall of tentacles to create a pathway to cross. Unfortunately, you’ll have to fend off more of those spiders as you do so. The best (and most entertaining) way to destroy them is to grab them and allow Kratos to team them in half.
Jump and perform a few arial combos against the other tentacle at this end of the boat. Once the monster is down, press the O button to initiate the mini game.
Scylla looks friendly! His mode of attack is simple: tentacle swipes and claw smashes. You’ll know when these about to come because he rear his head back before he unleashes them.
When he is about to perform an attack, stay up close and in the center of his body and hold L to absorb most of the blow. As soon as he finishes his attack, he’ll stick out his ugly head and when he does, get off as many arial combos as possible.
Once you cause Scylla to retreat into the sea, he’ll pop up in a different area and greet you with more of those annoying spiders. As you fight them off, he’ll attempt to take a bite out of you, so watch out!
When Scylla returns back to his original position, continue to get off arial combos in between his attacks. Once he falls, perform a double jump to get up to the crane wheel. Rapidly press the O button to activate it.
Carefully watch the screen and press O when necessary to complete the combo and send this beast back to the sea.
Jump back up to the area with the crane wheel. Double jump to grab onto the ledge above it and pull yourself up. Run around to the left and open the chest.
Run around to the right and jump up onto the next ledge. Open the chest to receive a Gorgon Eye, then jump up to grab onto and slide down the rope.
Hold R, then release it to do a dash and break through the underwater gate. Open the chest, then swim back out and come up to the surface. Walk over to the swirling light to save your progress.
Jump up the bricks, then jump up again and grab on onto the ledge. Move around to the right and around the turn. Drop down and jump up onto the next area. Take out the underwater sea monsters before getting the health orbs from the nearby chest.
Take a few whacks against the makeshift door to break it down, then head down the hallway. Look for the glowing point on the wooden plank above and use your blades to latch onto it and swing across.
The minotaur is a pretty intelligent fighter and will constantly be blocking your attacks. Wait for him to make the first move, perform a dash or block, then hit him with a few combos.
If you get to close to the right wall you’ll be paid an unexpected visit from Scylla. After you break his hold, finish off the minotaur. Just like in previous GOW games, press O when the icon is over its head, then when Kratos has him pinned down, tap O repeatedly to finish the kill.
Walk over to the lever on the right. Use O to hold it and pull it back. Jump up the ledges on the North wall and climb to the right. Before jumping up through the entry way, continue climbing around the turn to find two hidden chests.
After you jump up through the entryway, head down the hallway to the left. Destroy all of the enemies in this next area. Once they are dead, perform a wall climb to get up the next area.
Open the chest, then wall climb up to the ledge. Climb around the turn to your left, then jump up between the break in the rail. Turn to your right and tap L to block the oncoming enemy blades before they hit you.
Destroy these three enemies before opening the chest in the back left corner. Come back around and open the gate. Hold circle to pull out the block to the main area. Push it over to the right wall and jump up it to get to the chest on the left.

As soon as you take it, turn around and run like hell for the door. After Lanaeus brings one of those statues to life, hold R to use Thera’s Bane and ignite your blades. Regular attacks and combos won’t work on this guy––you have to use the Bane or magic to defeat him.

With Scylla finally dead, jump on and wall climb on the wall behind you. Move over to the right, but before you make a wall leap over the gap, drop down and you will find two hidden chests with one of them containing a Gorgon Eye.
Wall climb all the way up to the top, head down the hallway and swing across the two swinging points on the ceiling. Keep in mind that after the first swinging point you might have to perform a double jump by tapping X again in order to get close enough to latch onto the next one with your blades.
Climb up the short wall and move over to the right. With Kraotos’ right arm dangling over the edge, press X to jump across to the next ledge.

Pull the lower lever back to its original position, climb up the ladder and pull the lever to cause to huge block to drop. As soon as it drops, don’t waste your time climbing down the ladder, just drop down and make a mad dash for the block.
Walk through the doorway and open the two chests. Head down the pathway and grab onto the rope at the end. Move across to the right. Jump out to grab onto the other rope, then jump out again to land in the next area.

This will be a tedious battle because you’ll have to break his armor using Thera’s Bane before you can actually inflict any damage against him. With his armor destroyed, it’s clear that this is just another cyclops.

When you reach the other side, press O to latch onto the swing point and climb up the wall that you land on. Double jump back to your left to get a Phoenix Feather in the chest.
Jump back and head through the tunnel. This hedgehog-like creature moves a little quicker than previous enemies––and he has little clones to help him do his bidding. Keep moving and using your magic would probably be the best method for taking care of this beast.
Once you defeat him and the blue wall dissolves, head down that pathway. Navigate the crate across the bridge, but move quickly because the flying arrows will be pretty annoying. Once you get close enough, take out the enemies and open the two chests.

Despite her size, Erinys can withstand a lot of damage. Ergo, this fight will be tedious. Unleash combos and use all of your magic to defeat her. Once you see the O above her head, tap it to rip off her wings.
After she flies away, keep your eye on the screen and press the appropriate button when she flies by to lock onto her wings. After you bring her down, she will fly away again, but this time when she comes back she will destroy the platform that you are standing on.

After you destroy all of the enemies in this area, allow the gate to open in front of you, then proceed through. Open the chests, then head down the path where you will have to face the Piraeus Lion.
This guy is a beast. Between his migraine-inducing roars and his huge paw swipes, he is a bit of tricky boss. The Scourge of Erinys should come in handy, but if you run out of magic, he shouldn’t be too hard to take town with a few lethal combos.
With the lion dead, go hunt down that punk that locked you in there. After you kill him, pick up his body and head down the tunnel. Drop his body on the square indentation, open the two chests and climb up the ladder.

Save your game and open the two chests. Fall into the water and swim down the path. After you get pushed aside by the current, swim straight up and make a right down the pathway.
Open the chest of red orbs, then continue up the tunnel and to the surface. After you pass all of the panic-stricken natives, take note of that chick that falls in the water and don’t make the same mistake.
Press O to latch onto the wall with your blades. From there, jump out onto the wall and climb up. Jump off on the ledge on the right. If you want some more red orbs, run towards the screen and jump across the chasm to reach.
Jump back across and head into the room where you will have defeat another one of those enemies carrying the huge bolder on his back. After he has been destroyed, head through the now open gate and kill the enemies down the path.
Climb up the wall in between the waterfalls, open the chest and save your game. Break through the bricks to the left to find two hidden chests. (Don’t break the next set of loose bricks––it’s a trap!)
Head down the tunnel and jump into the water. Swim down and head through the pathway. Break through the gate to open the chest of red orbs, then swim up. Pull on the lever to the right, then the one on the left and swim through the opening. Dash through and tap O when prompted to in order to grab onto a plank.
Press R to push off to the left. Break through the gate and rise up to the surface. Head down the path. Swing from the swing point and make sure to not accidentally land in the water.
Turn the lever 360 degrees to cause the platform to raise. Naturally, you will have to fight off enemies along the way. Use the shield and spear for enemies in the distance throwing objects, then quickly switch back to your blades to fight enemies that join you on the platforms.
Once the platform reaches the top, defeat the rest of the enemies, then cross the bridge. Open the two chests and head up the first set of stairs. Turn right when you reach the circular room and head down the steps. Follow this pathway all the way down to talk to Athena.
Nexus of Atlantis
Head down the pathway, save your game and head outside. Destroy the enemies in this area. Walk over to the middle pillar on the left and tap O repeatedly to push all three over.
Walk to the nearby wall and climb up. Cross the waterfall and drop down the other side. Walk out to the edge of the water fall and press O to swing from the statue to the other side. Open the chest and climb down the wall.
Walk to the center area and kill all of the enemies before moving on. Head up the short set of stairs on the left and climb up the wall. Walk to the edge and press O to swing across the statue. Open the chests and save your game before opening the door.
Head down the pathway and like before, kill all enemies in the next area. Head through the next hallway and head up the stairs. Open the three chests once outside before crossing the bridge.
Press O to spin the wheel in front of the bright blue light. Head back across the bridge, down the stairs and into the circular room. Again, you have destroy all of the enemies before moving on.
Head through the next entryway, down the path and pull open the door. Walk to the edge and press O to swing across the statue to the other side. Climb up the wall to get up to the next level.
Open the chest in the right corner towards the screen, then head down the pathway. Open the chests and turn right down the path. Climb up the wall on the left, move over to the right and transfer down and across the ceiling.
After Lanaeus closes the gate on you, turn left and keep moving along the ceiling to make your way around. Climb down the wall once you reach it, then switch to your shield and spear and throw your spear at Lanaeus to knock him into the water.
With the gate now down, climb back up the wall and all the way back around. Press L when prompted to in order to drop down. Press O to pick up the Automaton Gear and knock that fool out in the face.
Jump over to the platform on the right and head down the pathway. Once outside, you will have to defeat a group of enemies in order to cross the bridge. Your shield and spear will work best here.
Walk toward the blue light, and press O to place the Gear inside. Run towards the screen and head back across the bridge. Cross the new bridge that extends to the doorway on the left.
Head down the hallway and jump inside the water. Swim to the bottom and open the two chests. Swim up and then through the tunnel. When you reach the two colliding walls, get as close as you can to them without getting smashed. As soon as they open, perform two quick dashes, press O you see the icon and quickly rotate your toggle stick to pull yourself in.
Press R to push off down the next tunnel. You will get caught in a current, so press O as soon as you see the icon in order to latch onto the pole and not get smashed. Reel yourself in, then press R to propel yourself down the next tunnel.
Turn left at the dead end and open the chest. Dash to break through the wall and the end of the tunnel. Swim to the surface, head down the pathway, destroy the enemies and open the chests.
Turn left and kill the two enemies up the stairs. When you reach the edge, jump off into the center area where you will again have to kill all of the attacking enemies. After the gates drop, walk upstairs and hold O at the device to cause the huge statues to raise a series of bridges.
Cross the bridges and save your game before running to the end and climbing up the wall. Run to the edge of the platform, press O, cross the bridge and enter inside The Domain of Death.
The Domain of Death
Once inside, pick up The Bonds of Ares and save your game. Head up the path and open the two chests. Throw your spear at the three lanterns, then use your blades to swing across to the other side.
Destroy all of the enemies in this area. After the blue shield goes down, climb down the wall. Move around to the right and destroy the plant with attacking arms. Continue down the path and double jump over the gap.
Jump up the two ledges. Kill the birds and open the two chests. Jump up onto the ledge and head through the path. Destroy the sets of attacking plants and strike the tentacle blocking the doorway to cause it to move.
Make the turn and take a few swings at the tentacle again to cause it to move. Latch onto the swing point, then quickly jump out to land on the ledge. Climb up two sets of walls as you make your way up the tower.
Destroy all of the enemies in this area. Turn right and walk past the block with the light. Press O to pull out the statue and open the hidden chest in behind to find a Phoenix Feather.
Grab the block and push it against the far left wall. Use it as a step and jump onto the ledge. Open the chest, then head around the path and save your game.
Turn right after you head into the Hall. Destroy the gremlins, then open the chests before you head upstairs. Before you can meet Thanatos, you’ll have to take on a few cyclopses first. Pretty simple: destroy their armor first, then finish them off.
Temple of Thanatos
One you enter into the temple, save your game and open the two chests. Continue through the doorway to the right. After you walk down the stairs, turn left to find a chest with some extra orbs.
Go back, grab the block and push it to the right. After the turn, go open the chest of red orbs and then place the block under the chain. Double jump to grab onto it. Make your way all the way across to get another chest of red orbs. (The best way to kill the attacking enemies is to grab onto them with your legs.)
Grab back onto the chain. Line up with the moving platform across the way and wait for it to stop before leaping across. Move around to the left front corner and then jump out to the chain on the other side.
Move to the right and drop down. Break through the fractured wall. Walk on through, open the chests and save the game. Hug the right wall and slowly move across the narrow ledge.
Jump up to the next ledge and move all the way across to the left. As soon as the huge moving wall closes in, jump out, climb up and sprint down the hall. Perform a quick dash to enter through the doorway on the right without getting smashed.
Walk towards the screen and turn right down the stairs. Turn left through the opening and head into the hallway. Use The Scourge of Erinys against your enemies while you run around and destroy the four large gears.
Kill the rest of the remaining enemies, then head out the same doorway and back up the stairs. Turn right out the doorway and press O to push the large block all of the way down the hallway. Once you pass the opening on the left, push it just a bit further to find two hidden chests.
Head through the pathway and open the chest at the end before opening the door. Open the chest on the other side before using you spear to knock down the lantern to the left. Walk to the edge and perform a series of swing and jump combos to get up to the next level.
Open the two chests at the end of the path, then jump up to reach the next area where you will have to kill a ton of enemies. After you have done so, turn left and head across the bridge.
Kill the enemies at the end of the bridge, open the two chests, then pull open the door to the right. Before you enter in, continue around to the right and pull on the lever. Head through the doorway and up the stairs.
After you make the turn, switch to your shield and use it to block the oncoming flames. Once you reach the center platform, throw you spear at the two gears on either side of the door to cause it to close.
Turn the lever so that the bridge turns 90 degrees. The mouth on the door will burn three times and on the third time the fire will come shooting out again. As soon as it does, grab your shield again to block it. Repeat the step of throwing your spear at the gears to cause the door to close, then turn the lever another 90 degrees to make the bridge meet up with the door.
Block the flames again, then run on through the doorway and jump over the furnace. Open the chest of red orbs, then head up the stairs. Open the two chests and save your game before heading up the stairs.
After you open the door to find your brother hanging from some chains, walk up to tree on the left and take a few whacks to break one of the chains. Switch to your spear and throw it at the other chain to free him.
Deimos will be a little pissed off and you are going to have to battle him. He’s a cagey fighter, but he lacks your combos and your magic. He will take a lot of damage, but after quite a bit of fighting he will charge you and push you over the balcony.
After he gets taken away, get to your feet and walk toward the edge of the cliff to follow after him.
Suicide Bluffs
Once you grab onto the wall, make your way up, destroying the rocks along the way. Jump across the gap and transfer under to the ceiling. Continue to make your way over until you reach the cliff, then walk up to Deimos and pull him up.
Follow Deimos up the stairs where you will open the two chests and save your game. Continue over to the right for the final fight against Thanatos.
Thanatos is quick, but you will have your brother to help you in this battle. As usual, your magic is the best way to inflict damage and get off crazy combos. But don’t waste all your magic here––you will need it later.
The first part is relatively easy, but Thanatos in his huge, beast form is a little trickier. He will be relentless with his fireball blasts from his mouth, so keep your finger on L to block them.
The only time you will be able to get a few hits in is when he is distracted by Deimos or when he is temporarily wounded and drops his head to the ground. Continue to work on his exposed left hand and use whatever magic you may have left.
Thanatos will revert back again to his…human form? Continue to battle him until he switches back to his beast form. When he does, once you get him to fall on his arm, get off as many combos as possible and press the O button when it appears. Keep your eyes on the screen and press the right buttons when prompted to.
Unfortunately, you will have to go solo the rest of the way. Go all out and get off as many hits as possible once he drops his head. When he reverts back yet again, approach him and tap O to engage in the last minigame to finally kill Thanatos.
Will Thanatos dead, go pick up your brother and carry his body up the stairs and burry his body to complete the game.
