When it says "breakable objects" I mean the little breakable things that hold
a small ammoun of red orbs. These things include wooden crates, barrels, tiny
forts etc.

Throughout the walkthrough there will be stuff like (G E 1) or (P F 1) these are
locations of gorgon eyes and phoenix feathers, the number beside them tells you
in which order they are obtained.

To find them just type in (GEX) for gorgon eyes and (PFX) for phoenix feathers
in the Ctrl+F menu. Replace the X with a number ranging from 1-15.

You start of on a roof of a building (which you'll soon enter) and 5 Persian
soldiers will come at you thinking that they have a chance, you'll soon teach
those scum. The game will tell you the basic fighting moves, the soldiers are
nothing just experiment with the attacks and before you know it they'll be
killed. Once you've killed them a enemy ship will shoot it's cannons at your
direction. A dying Spartan will say "must return fire" which you must do. But
before that more enemies will come, 11 of them, dispatch of them and then
go towards the shining part of the balista and shoot the ship. Now more
cannons will shoot at the building one will break the roof allowing you to
access the inside of the building.

Once inside you'll see some Persians fighting with some Spartans. The Spartans
will not attack you but it's okay if you kill them by "accident" along with
the those Persian scum. There will be a green orb chest in here, don't use it
as yet. Once you kill off the Persians go towards the shining part of the door
and open it by tapping O. Before you even get it half way off the ground
a cyclops will come and try to smash you with a pillar. Tap O to defend
against it once you do another big baddy will come, the Basilsk, he makes mince
meat out of the cyclops and is still hungry so get ready.

This guy is a piece of cake, just do around 4-5 hits or a plume of prometheus
on him and then roll away. Anytime you see him readying his fireball just back
off and time it well then roll to dodge it. You tend to get quite a bit of
green orbs from him for just 3 hits so you won't be dying anytime soon. If you
feel you must and havn't opened the green orb chest as yet, go ahead and do so.

After he's taken a a number of hits you'll have to initiate a button mini game
by pressing () near his head. When you're done the game you have to pick up
the pillar (the one the cyclops tried to crush you with earlier, remember?) and
Kratos will smash it into the Basilisk's eye with such force blood splatters
everywhere. Damn, that eye won't be working anymore.

The Basilisk is now invading the city, it's blood trail is a sign of injury.
Those fence like objects and pathetic forts can be smashed to get some red
orbs. As you proceed in this are you will see that those Persian ships are
still attacking, shooting they're balista arrows in the air causing them to drop
down on the sandy surface creatinga small explosion. Maneuver through the sand,
trying not to get hit from the arrows and make your way to the battering ram
(in front of it is a rams head heh heh). Go to the shining part and hold circle,
use the analog up or down to push it. When you push it a little bit up an arrow
will come flying down so stop and then proceed until you make it to gate. At the
gate if you go to the right you will see a red orb chest at the left end there
is a chest containing a Gorgon eye(GE1). Now use the battering ram and bust that
gate open.

As you enter you will see the Persians killing your fellow men, doesn't this
piss you off, go ahead and release your rage on them. Continue the path and
you'll be faced with a new enemy, the Persian Archer. Jump in the water and
you'll notice that you can't dive...as yet. Just continue on with the rampage
and kill of the archers and soldiers. Now head toward the crank and turn it,
the moment you start turning it two soldiers will come, kill them. Now turn
it all the way so the door will be fully opened...wait, damnit two more
soldiers appeared, murder them. Ah damn the door closed. DAMN YOU PERSIANS!
Open the door and roll on through.

and you'll see a red orb chest. Now Head to the right side and walk across the
high beam, the Basilisk will shoot a fire ball at you and you'll be hanging of
the ledge. Just press X to get back up. When you are across there will be a
green orb chest and a door for which you must open.

This guy isn't to hard, his attacks don't take up much but they can be
annoying. 13 soldiers will accompany him.

He's way easier now than in the demo. He hardly ever does Efreet so you can
just combo him up and roll away when necessary. Those soldiers get kinda
annoying so kill them and you'll get red orbs too, yummy. When the king is down
to a little bit of HP you'll have to initiate a mini game.

(cutscene)

Hear comes a brutal part, as the king pleads for mercy and offers you women
Kratos doesn't give a crap about, or so he thinks. He'll pick up a box full of
gold and with your aid of tapping () he'll smash it on the kings head leaving
him in a bloody mess.

Now you will get the Efreet magic. Now 6 soldiers will come and they are
basically guinea pigs for you to test out your newly aquired magic on. You won't
lose any MP until you kill them all. Once you do two gates will open, go on into
the right one first, I guarantee you'll like it.

Ah here comes a mature part. It's been in all of the games, always in the
first stage, although in GOW2 it was kinda tricky to find, that's right the
sex mini game.

For saving the two women they thank you in a more pleasurable way. To initiate
the game walk up to the ladies and press (). There are 6 actions to do, the
1st,2nd, and 6th actions are random, the 3rd,4th, and 5th are not. They are
rotate analog counter clockwise, rotate analog clockwise and tap L and R. When
you are doing it take a look at the candle, at the end it'll show well you'll
see and you might get it. Of course you'll get a reward, some red orbs.

Head into the left gate and you'll see a shining light, that's a save point
go ahead and save. Open the door and you'll be confronted with the Basilisk once
again.

Aww no more 100 soldiers instead you get 22, of course you can still knock down
the ladders so that they will stop climbing up for a while. Well the objective
here is to shoot the balista at the basilisk so that he'll stop breathing his
fire ball at you when you try to open the door. But before you get to hasty
when turning the balista turn it only until it reaches the centre and it's
pointing straight into the buildings. Now shoot it and it'll destroy a building
which you will access later. After that shoot the crap out of the Basilisk,
right in the neck, then open the door.

{Objects: 11 }

As you enter you'll see a crank, don't be so hasty, just continue on and climb
the ladder at the back. You'll see two treasure chests a red orb one and one
containing a phoenix feather (PF1). Now rotate the crank and it'll lead you
down.

As you enter this area you'll see a Cyclops climbing a building and slaughtering
your fellow Spartans. Now he's comming after you. Just do 4-5 hits and the
moment you see him starting to attack roll away as quick as you can. Do Efreet
if you want it'll make him flinch and theres a blue orb chest so you can fuel
up when low. Keep doing this until you see a () above his head and you know
what to do from there.

Now continue on and open the gate and 4 archers will be sniping you, obliterate
them. Walk towards the left and you'll see a red orb chest and a chest with
a gorgon eye (GE3). Move on to the right climb the ladder and then the wall.

Now do you remember the building you shot with the balista? It's here, just
continue up and go across the ramp. You'll see the building with a hole in the
wall and a chest inside. In the chest is a Gorgon eye (GE4). (this was the e
extra one I was talking about) Now theres a red orb chest and a grey one on the
other side, jump across to access it and in the grey chest theres a phoenix
feather(PF2). Jump back across and destroy the wooden wall and activate the
lever.

Get the red orb chest and do whatever, then go up the stairs and open the door.
The Basilisk is on the roof and it has a dead man in it's mouth like a toothpick
he spits it out on to the stone floor. It's your first puzzle, an easy one, not
quite sure if it's even a puzzle but some people got stuck on it. Theres a red
orb chest where the archers are on the ledge behind the pillar and 2 more chests
all the way at the left side of the screen. Kill off all of the enemies as they
will get in the way.

You'll come across a large box which you must push it towards the gate and onto
the switch on the ground. Then get the body and walk to the other side and put
his dead carcass on the other switch. Go on through and you'll be confronted
with a WHAT... a red orb chest. Continue on and you'll come across a save point,
save. After the save point there is a chest containing a phoenix feather (PF3).

\_________________________________________________ _________/

Well it's the Basilisk again, he's still easy. For this fight you if you want
to make it easier on yourself just stay in the middle and attack from there. If
you go to either the right or left side he'll just swipe at you and it's
unblockable. If you stay in the middle he'll just bite you and that is in fact
blockable.

As you might have noticed, he has no life bar. Your objective here is to keep
hitting him until he backs up. If you do it perfectly you'll only have to do
this 2 times. When attacking get around 4-5 hits, remember stay in the middle,
and then hold L to block his bite. Keep doing this. Every time you knock him
back he'll do fire breath, this is easily avoidable, just jump. Sometimes he'll
do his chomp attack to avoid getting chomped on just tap L + R when prompted
to. When you knock him back all the way he'll climb up the wall and rain down
fireballs. To dodge these just zig zag through the field until you reach his
arm to press () on. When you press () you have to rotate the anaglog nub. Do
this twice and in the 3rd phase you just have to hit him until the () appears.
In the 3rd phase his attacks are quicker, so you'll only get around 2-3 hits on
him then block.

Right off the bat you'll see a chest, open it and you'll get a phoenix feather
(PF4). Climb down the cliff and half way there will be a red orb chest.
Continue climbing down and there will be a save point and a building to enter.
Break the door down and you'll be confronted with a new enemy, the Fog Soldier.
He has dual blades but is really easy. He tends to block when you are doing
combos so hit him with some grabs and heavy attacks. Continue on after you've
killed him and break the wall down to get a red orb chest and a some random
orbs.

As you enter enemies will come, theres a house directly up which has a red orb
chest. Then theres another house below the blue orb chest that a red orb chest
in it. You'll see a house with a lanturn, in it there are 2 more red orb chests.
Have you been killing the enemies, good job.

See that box head to the left of it and there will be a building in which you
can enter, in it is a gorgon eye (GE5). Hear that man saying STAY AWAY FROM THE
FOG, you better take his advice. Push that box and open the gate.

Upon entering you'll see a chest if you walk up, they tried to hide it in the
rocks, but I mean come on. In it is a gorgon eye (GE6).

If you walk to the right you'll come into contact with a screamer, they kinda
look like a medusa but they don't have snake hair or petrify you, instead they
burst your eardrums. They will respawn over and over and after you've killed
the first three they will stop dropping orbs so your plan for unlimited orbs
is a fail. To make them stop respawning just turn that crank.

To the right is a red orb chest and 4 fog archers. Well let's move on shall we,
go to the centre and grab that torch. Go back to the right and light the hay
with your torch and move the trolly up until the camera pans to the left. Stop
and kill the archer and open the 2 red orb chests. Move the trolly up again
and now the camera will pan to the right revealing two more chests and an archer
The grey chest contains a phoenix feather (PF5), yays upgrade! If you need
health open the alter chest when it's green.

Keep moving up with the trolly and you'll find yourself in an open area. Battle
time, a fierce sabretooth. It's easy enough when it pounces on you just tap
L and R. The grab animation is kinda brutal. After you deal with that break
down the wall on the right and continue on.

You'll be at the steed shrine, you can't do anything here as yet so just
continue on.

Go all the way to the lower left and open the chest at the end to receive a
gorgon eye (GE7) and then go to the upper left to open a red orb chest. Make
your way into the temple and save if you wish. Pull the lever to go down and
when you're down there 2 ram bombers will be fighting you and one will be
throwing the bombs from across the gate, that cheap bastard. If you walk to the
right of the lever you will come across a chest that holds a phoenix feather
(PF6). Because of him you won't be able to open the door since he keeps hiting
you. So what do you got to do, reach him, to do that you have to go to the left
of the lever and then you'll be in a battle. Kill those monsters and continue
onwards and you'll come into contact with another lever which will open a gate.

Head back to the upper level and up the stairs through the gate and kill that
annoying bastard. Pull the lever to open the gate and now you can open the
shiny door. Press () next to is and you have to rotate the analog nub.

As you walk open the red orb chest and the statues here are breakable so you can
receive more orbs. Keep walking and a couple of demon birds will attack you.
After you've dealt with that get the red orb chest on the left side of the room
near the entrance.

Grab both statues and pull the two levers. Enter the door on the right and you
will have to fight a new enemy, the fireguard. When you're done pull the lever

a gorgon eye (GE8). Head back downstairs and destroy the throne. Pick up the
sun shield. With this you can parry attacks, just time it right, the moment
the enemy attack hits press L. You have to fight now, it's like practice, to
try out your new shield.

Press () on the door and there are green and blue chests here so fuel up if you
need it. Save if you want and head up the long stairs.

chest, it'll contain a Gorgon eye (GE11). Continue onwards kill the enemies that
confront you and you'll come up to a save point. Save, then open the door and
pick up the item on the ground. With this you can reflect back projectiles that
the enemy will shoot at you. 3 statues will come alive and shoot fireballs, you
have to reflect them back by pressing L right when the attack hits or when its
close enough. After that you'll get new magic, the light of dawn, your very own
projectile attack. Try it out on the flame fists that appear.

Head to the left side and get the phoenix feather (PF10), and on the right side

Start out by pressing () on the shiny to unlock the lever. Move the lever to the

statue and move it to the right lower pad. Now pull the lever to the right and
it'll open the door on the high right, pull out the statue, then shine the
light on the statue on lower right pad, grab the new statue.

Now for the formation, put the statues facing north on the lower pads. Then put
the statue facing left on the upper right pad and the one facing right on the
upper left pad. It'll open up a new statue and you have to shine the light on
that one. Do that and then jump on the platform that is behind the statute in
the middle and into the circle of light, press L and tap (). Go towards the
horse and activate it.

Start off by heading up towards the wall scaling it. When you reach the part
where you hanging you can always drop by pressing R, but don't drop in the water
Do you see those stone statues? They're kinda hidden in the colour, anyways they
can be destroyed, remember that. Don't forget to get the chests and then climb
up the wall at the end. Some enemies will come now, wall climbers I call them.
They're easy and depending on what level your blades are you can kill them in
one shot with a heavy attack.

At the top you are faced with a new enemy, the infamous medusa, and yes she can
still pretrify you. Fortunatly this battle is easy since there are no other
enemies to interfere with the battle. If you get pertrified quickly tap L and R.
Once you kill her 2 more will come. When your done head out and head down, don't
jump across the stairs as yet. Do you see that weird rock thing, that's a statue
and can be broken. Break it and follow the path to reach a phoenix feather(PF13)
Head back up and now jump across the stairs and follow the path and you'll be
in another battle, but more fierce since it contanins 3 cyclops. After you're
done with that jump across to the cliff and more enemies will come, kill them
all and head to the upper left. That wall can be destroyed and when you do a
medusa pops out, a little bit of foreshadowing here. The tresure chest here
contains a gorgon eye (GE14).

Now are you stuck again, you don't know what to do, where to go, you keep
falling in the water when you try to jump the ledge. Never fear this guide is
here. Head to the middle of the room and to the right side. Theres a wall that
can be broken here. When you break the wall go on in and move the block to
where the ledge of the green orb chest is. Jump on the block then jump on the
ledge. Scale the wall behind the waterfall and jump down when you reach the
end. Some enemies will be here, take care of them. Now attack that pillar
and then it'll turn shiny, press () on it and it'll fall down. Head into the
room, save and get the red orb chest.

Climb the ledge and destroy the odd coloured wall on the left to reveal a chest
with a phoenix feather (PF14) in it, then scale the wall on the right. Head
straight and you'll be in a battle. The objective here is to kill both hell
defenders so that their light will open the door. When the door is open head
through it and up the stairs. There is a gorgon eye (GE15) in this room and
guess what it's the last one, you got max health. Head out into the arena.

There's annoying demon birds and 2 hell defenders. The harpies are easy enough
you can just grab them and Kratos stomps on them, but there are also these saws
that keep going around the floor, they can be annoying. Once you're done head
out save and ring the bell. Don't worry about the shiny door for now.

Well it's been a long time since a boss battle hasn't it, unfortunatly this one
won't last too long for now. You can parry all his attacks and even all of his
scythe combo if your good enough, but you if you don't like parrying you can
just block them it all then attack when he's done. Just combo him up and block
when necessary. When he is doing his energy ball just reflect them all back at
him, this is also a good way to get back health if you're low on it. When you
bring him down to half HP he'll do an attack that'll kill you in one shot.

You'll have to tap L and R to break out of the chains. Walk down and there will
be a save point and a chest with a phoenix feather (PF15). Make sure to kill
the people in shackles if you want some health, you will be low on it and plus
you're doing them a favour if you think about it. Those big chains that you
see can be broken. When you reach the fork you can choose to go right to fight
or left to progress, there is a blue chest at the end of the right side just
to let you know.

These harpies can be annoying since they always back off when you try to grab
them. An easy way to kill them is to jump and press /\ so that they get hit and
fly into the air then grab them. When you're done continue on, killing the
people and open the door at the end. Kill all the enemies, open the alter chest
if you need health or magic and head across the big chain.

Save then start climbing the wall and when you reach the top you'll have to
fight. Make sure to kill the harpies first because if you get petrified they
will hit you and you will die. On the right side there is a red orb chest and
on the opposite side is a random chest. Pull both statues and turn the crank.

Walk through the hallway and go through the door, it'll close behind you. Now
you have to fight a minotaur. Kill the archers first because they can get
annoying, a simple grab should suffice. When you're done enter the left and up
the stairs, a hell soldier will attack you kill him and you might break the
wall behind him, if not break it anyways. Theres a red orb chest at the end
of the path open it and then sidle across to the other side of the room. Break
the wall and enter it.

Pull the lever and drop down to enter the newly opened room. Go upstairs and get
the key and press () on the throne. Jump back down and put the body on the
switch then insert the key into the hole. Cross the bridge and save.

Kill off all the enemies then press () on the shiny. It'll break the Zeus statue
and you'll obtain the gauntlet of Zeus. This is your second weapon and it's damn
strong. You'll get to test it out on the enemies that appear. To break their
shield just hold down [] and Kratos will break them. Head back across the bridge
and break the shiny wall with your new weapon. Now there will be a pitiful
escape the spiked wall game, just run and break the wall up ahead, then break
the statue. You can break the statue on the left to get a chest with random
orbs and then break the one on the right to gain access to the next floor.

Scale the wall and defeat the enemies then rotate the crank. Climb back down
and go across the chain and climb the wall.

o-----------------------------o

Kill of the enemies, the cyclops will have body armour, to break it just charge
up your punch and attack him. Rotate the cranks and go jump to the platforms.

*I've been getting a lot of questions for this part, jumping the platforms. Why
it wasn't in the guide in the first place is because for my many times playing
the game I never had this problem, I always made it to the second platform on
my first jump. After trying it some times I see why people don't make the jump.
Don't run right to the edge of the first platform then jump because this will
make Kratos momentarily pause and make your jump too short. So what you do is
run and just before you reach the edge (don't touch it) jump and while in the
air jump again (doing a double jump) and you should grab onto the platform. I
always did this and I always made it.

Open the door and then head into the upper room straight ahead. Open the
door at the end.

(cutscene)

Scale the wall and if you want you could head left and into another room which
has a good ammount of red orbs in it, if not then head straight up. Kill all
the enemies and for those archers either use the light of dawn or just reflect
their arrows back. Rotate the cranks and one will yield a red orb chest the
other will grant your access to the next area.

Shackles of Hyperion

Open the door and kill of the enemies that await inside. Pull the two levers and
scale the wall on the right to reach to the other side. Pull the lever there
and head back down to the newly opened area. Scale this wall killing the
enemies on your way.

Chains of Atlas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o-----------------------------o
{Enemies: 5 Hell Soldiers }
{ 7 Demon Birds }

Save then jump on the platform. You have to rotate the crank to move to the
other side, when you rotate it enemies will come and try and stop you but I mean
a freaking 100ft tall monster couldn't stop you much less they can. When you
reach to the other side there is another platform in which you must do the same
thing that you just did. When you reach the end climb the wall and press ()
on the shiny, then walk across the huge chain.

Well you're back, and you're in the arean again. This time you can destroy
those saws by punching them with your gauntlet of Zeus. Kill the enemies and
go through the door. Save and break the shiny gate.

As you can see he has more attacks, but he's still easy. Just do the same thing
you did in the first battle, block when necessary. This time when he goes on top
of the ship quickly go towards the flames and destroy one of the pillars.

2nd phase: Now he will start doing his most cheapest attack, Charon's Wrath.
If you get hit it'll make you stop for about 3-4 seconds and he keeps doing
it over and over. Just roll and hit, roll and hit until he stops and does
something else, you'd probably only get 2 hits in with the blades of chaos.
Remember if you need health wait till he does his energy ball and reflect it
back. Just like before he'll go back on top of the ship, do the same as before.

3rd phase: He'll start doing his scythe explosion attack, it's easy to dodge,
just jump and do some aerial attacks. He'll go to all 4 corners then go to the
middle and do the bigger explosion. When he does this his scythe will get stuck
in the ground for a bit and allow you to attack him.

4th phase: Now you'll be fighting his chest and up, just reflect all the energy
orbs at him and press () when the time is right.

There ya go, you killed him.

You'll get Charon's Wrath, your final magic. To test it out some enemies will
appear, you won't lose any magic until you kill them all. Head into the temple.
This place is basically an arena, you have to fight a lot of enemies, what do
you expect it's the last place. Just play the way you do and usually after
every round there will be health or magic chests. When you reach the rooms with
the medusa statues in them quickly destroy the first 2 or 3 with your gauntlet
so that you can have some room to fight in. Save whenever you get the chance.
When you reach the crank you can break the walls, and some demon birds will come
out.

At the top you have to fight a fierce medusa, she does a different attack than
the normal medusa. She grabs you and you can't escape and pertrifies you
instantly, and with those harpies around this area can be annoying. Kill the
birds first then focus on the medusa. Exit north and save.

running about, start by snaping their necks. Once you get your blades back
some enemies will come, keep killing the spirits till you get all your powers
back, kill the enemies and head towards the stairs. You'll be in another battle,
kill them all and continue on. Save and fuel up, you'll need it for the final
boss. Walk up the stairs.

Well you made it, the final boss, you should be able to take her down quite
easily if you upgraded your equipment. There are 2 phases for this battle.

She starts out by doing charge, double punch and rock throw. You can parry both
the double punch and charge, but of course rolling away is another option. Don't
try to parry the rock throw you'll just get hurt. Make sure to always parry her
charge then she'll be sent backwards and do a rock throw, dodge the rock throw
by rolling and hit her once with a charged punch then quickly roll away to dodge
her double punch. Efreet can come in handy here also since it makes her flinch
when you use it.

There is an alternative, but it is a little bit harder to pull off. When you've
dodged her rock throw walk up to her and wait till the her rock throw animation
is done. Right when it's done hold /\ to hit her and soar into the air, while in
the air move the analog nub in a direction that will leave you behind her. This
will allow you to dodge her double punch. She'll most likely just start back her
charge and repeat the pattern.

She'll drop a good amount of health for you if you drop her health down by 1/6.
When you get her down to half HP a minigame will start.

2nd phase: now she's mad, when she does her dark ball you can reflect it back
to her and make her fall then attack, that's really what you have to do here.
Don't worry about the circle of light just yet you'll need it later, it can
be sometimes annoying though since you might find yourself in the light and
trying to reflect her dark ball only to shoot out a beam of light that doesn't
hit her. You can also use your light of dawn here, if it's upgraded to the max
then it'll take up a good ammount on her. To dodge the dark pillar and dark
light either roll around or run around. After you bring her HP down a bit more
she'll move to the pillar on the left, now when you reflect back her dark ball
she'll reflect your reflection back once. She'll then move on to the middle
pillar again and now she'll reflect it back to you twice, and when she moves the
right pillar she'll reflect it back three times. You gotta reflect the
reflection, yeah.

So when you bring her HP down significantly she'll fall and a black mist will
surround her. You have to go into the circle of light press L and follow the
button commands. If you are sucessful you beat her, and you beat the game.
