| WALKTHROUGH
- THE TEMPLE OF PERSEPHONE
Walk through the temple entrance up ahead.  The doors
will seal off once Kratos
steps inside. Calliope will appear in the distance and
lead the way forward.
Walk around the columns on both sides of this new room
and open the --UNMARKED
CHEST-- on the left side then the --UNMARKED CHEST (GORGON
EYE [20/21])-- on the
right side. Destroy the small pedestals near both sets
of doors in this room
to gain some extra red orbs - these pedestals are scattered
throughout the set
of rooms up ahead.
Walk through the doorway that Calliope went through
then open the door at the
end. Step into the next room. The doors will seal off
as a tiger attacks then
fire satyrs and soldier satyrs will begin to attack. Start pummeling the tiger
with charge punches from the gauntlet of Zeus - each
hit will stagger him so
that Kratos can easily hit him again. Kill off the first
tiger as quickly as
possible then get ready for the second tiger. Fight
off the fire satyrs with
charge punches until the second tiger spawns then pressure
the second tiger
with charge punches until it is defeated. Finish off
the fire satyrs with
charge punches then defeat the soldier satyrs with charge
punches. Don't be
afraid to use The Efreet or Charon's Wrath since the
enemies will release blue
orbs - just don't use magic too often.
After the battle, enter the hallway with the two pedestals
in the back of the
room then break the pedestals and open the --UNMARKED
CHEST (PHOENIX FEATHER
[19/19])--. Find the hallway on the right side of the room
then open the --RED
CHEST-- and other --RED CHEST-- inside. Enter the hallway
directly ahead with
the stairs leading upward then kick through the door
at the top followed by the
next door.

Calliope will appear once again and lead the way. Notice
the stone gorgon
heads on the right wall. These will be performing gorgon
gazes during the
battle that is about to take place in this room. They
can be destroyed with a
few hits from the gauntlet or many hits from your blades
of chaos. Run toward
the first gorgon statue head then destroy it, destroy
the next one as enemies
spawn in the room. Soldier satyrs and harplings will
attack in this area.
Don't move past the gorgon heads that perform gazes
- allow the enemies to come
to you. Grab the harplings for one hit kills then fight
the satyrs off with
charged gauntlet punches or jumping Triangle attacks
with the blades of chaos. The
blades of chaos really work better in this area since
Kratos won't have to move
near as much to attack with them if he attacks in the
air. The satyrs
basically stand back and try to lure Kratos into the
gorgon gazes, so just
stand back and jump then attack them with Triangle attacks
from the blades. Use
Charon's Wrath to help damage the enemies quicker -
don't be afraid to use all
your magic here.
Break all the gorgon statue heads after the battle
then kick down the door on
the opposite side of the hall. Save your game at the
--SAVE PILLAR-- in the
next room.
CHASING CALLIOPE
Open the --RED CHEST-- on the left side in the back
and --GREEN CHEST-- and --BLUE CHEST-- if needed. Kick through the next door then
move up the stairs.
Calliope will appear once again and step through a doorway
before it closes.
What is with her? Step into the room up ahead.
An Armored Cyclops will appear from the floor then
harpies will enter the room.
You can use Charon's Wrath to fully strip the armored
Cyclops of his armors if
you want. Attack the Harpies then grab them. When only
the Cyclops is left,
stand at one side and charge an Olympic Strike then
unleash it as the Cyclops
steps toward Kratos - rinse and repeat as you roll out
of the way of his
attacks! It only takes three fully charged Olympic Strikes
to defeat him with
level 3 gauntlets. Two armored Cyclops will appear after
the first has been
defeated - Charon's Wrath really comes in handy here
for stripping them of
armor. They only attack one at a time so take each one
down with charged
Olympic Strikes.
Kick through the door in the background after the fight
then run and open the --RED CHEST-- and the --BLUE/GREEN CHEST--. Return to
the previous room then
open the door to the right followed by the next door
up the stairs behind it.
Once again, Kratos will enter a hall with gorgon statue
heads to the right
side. Take out the gauntlet then destroy the first two
statue heads as enemies
appear up ahead. The same type of enemies will appear
just like in the last
hall with gorgon heads - harplings and soldier satyrs.
The harplings are very
few in number this time but the satyrs are quite numerous,
so be ready to use
jumping Triangle attacks with the blades of chaos along
with a few Charon's Wrath.
Don't fully use up your magic gauge in this room since
there is another tough
fight up ahead before Kratos has another magic refill.
Break the gorgon statue heads after the battle then
kick through the next door
followed by the next door. Calliope will lead the way
once again. Notice the
--GREEN CHEST-- across from the current doorway. If
you need some health then
run straight toward that chest and open it, otherwise,
get ready to fight the
enemies in this next room as Kratos enters. Once Kratos
enters this room two
armored minotaurs will spawn.
Much like the armored Cyclops, these enemies are the
same with or without
armor. Use the gauntlet of Zeus or Charon's Wrath to
strip them of armor then
defeat them as you normally would.
Pick one of the armored Minotaurs then use Charon's
Wrath to strip his armor as
you pressure him with charge punches from the gauntlet.
Roll away when he is
about to attack then stand away from him and roll out
of the way of his ram
then perform charge punches on him as he recovers. Much
like the Cyclops,
these enemies will usually only attack one at a time
even in groups of two.
Soldier satyrs will appear after the first two minotaurs
- you can easily get
rid of the satyrs with the gauntlet of Zeus this time
since there are no gorgon
heads to worry about. One final armored minotaur will
end the wave of enemies.
Kick through the door to the side after the battle
then run down the hall ahead
and kick through the next door. Step onto the lift then
rotate the crank
counterclockwise. Carefully look at the wall and watch
for cracked portions of
the wall as the lift rises. Stop the lift then break
the cracked portions of
the wall with attacks to fight harplings in the first
two hidden alcoves - they
give up red orbs so destroy them. The final cracked
wall hides an --UNMARKED
CHEST--.
Once the lift stops at the top room harplings will
attack along with gorgon
queens.
Despite their blue color, the gorgon queen is much
like the standard gorgon but
they have a very slippery unblockable stoning attack.
They will coil up then
strike toward Kratos. If they grab your character, then
they will instantly
turn Kratos to stone. This move cannot be blocked -
you must roll away from
it. They still fall much like the standard gorgon. Hit
them with charge
punches from the gauntlet to defeat them quickly.

Grab the harplings to finish them quickly then use
charge punches with the
gauntlet to defeat the gorgon queen. Watch for the gorgon
queen's grab attack
where it will coil up - roll to avoid it. An armored
Cyclops will attack after
the gorgon queens along with another harpling. Use the --BLUE/GREEN CHEST-- after the battle if needed. Kick through the door on
the right after the
battle then open the --UNMARKED CHEST (GORGON EYE [21/21])-- and the --RED
CHEST-- at the end of the hall. Run back to the middle
room then open the door
in the back and enter the next room. Calliope will lead
the way once again!
THE GROVES OF PERSEPHONE
Save your game at the --SAVE PILLAR-- then open the
nearby --GREEN CHEST-- and
--BLUE CHEST-- if needed. Open the door that Calliope
just went through to
continue. Move up the stairs and enter the area above
for a cutscene.
As Persephone said in the cutscene, in order to gain
access to the Elysium
Fields, Kratos must become pure and rid himself of his
past sins. Stand in
front of the tree to the left up ahead and press the
Circle button to enter a
sequence where Kratos must give up his powers.
>><< = Circle Button tap
!!!! = L and R tap
@@@@ = analog rotation
Kratos drives his blades into the tree and >>RELEASES
HIS STAMINA<< into the
tree. While still holding onto the tree with his blades,
Kratos !!RELEASES ALL
OF HIS MAGICAL POWERS!!. He finally @@RELEASES ALL OF
HIS EXPERIENCE AND HIS
BLADES OF CHAOS@@ to the tree rendering his soul pure
and his humanity
restored.
Kratos now has nothing except his grab and guard. Go
ahead and check your item
menu to see that everything is gone. Persephone will
confirm that Kratos is
worthy to enter the Elysium Fields, so step through
the portal on the left to
enter the fields.
