| WALKTHROUGH
- FIELD OF ELYSIUM
A cutscene will trigger right as Kratos enters the
fields from the temple.
>><< = Circle Button Tap
Kratos gives Calliope one final look as she stands
by his side then he looks
away from his daughter and >>GENTLY PUSHES HER
AWAY<< in order to fulfill his
duties to the gods. Calliope moves back toward Kratos
with the shout of "Father!" as Kratos turns around to look at
her then quickly looks away once
again. With a bit more force Kratos places his hand
on her chest and >>PUSHES
AT CALLIOPE<< once again. Calliope moves away
then quickly wraps her arms
around her father once again with a shout of "Please!".
With a solid will,
Kratos looks down at his daughter and grabs her arm
then >>PUSHES HER AWAY AND
TO THE GROUND<<. "Father... Father, no!"
rings through Kratos' ears as he
gives up his current paradise in order to revert to
the monster that he once
was in order to save humanity.
Once the cutscene is over, Kratos must seek out the
pure souls around the area
and kill them all in order to get his strength back.
Well, these technically aren't enemies. Kratos is more
of the enemy in this
case. Pure souls will move about the Elysium Fields
in their white ghostly
appearance. Kratos must simply run up to each one and
grab it or attack it
(once his blades of chaos have been restored). Kratos
must kill all of the
souls in the field to gain his powers back once again.
Run up to each of the pure souls in the field and grab
them to make them
release red orbs. Killing enough pure souls will allow
Kratos to regain his
strength. All the power along with the nightmares of
his past must be regained
in this field before leaving it. After the first few
pure souls have been
killed, Kratos will regain his blades of chaos. Hades
soldiers will begin to
attack Kratos in the fields at that point. Try to focus
on killing off the
rest of the pure souls with a simple strike from the
blades of chaos and fight
off the Hades soldiers with jumping Triangle hits if
they try to interfere. The
blades of chaos, The Efreet, Light of Dawn, the gauntlet
of Zeus, charon's
wrath - all powers will be restored as Kratos continues
to kill pure souls then
a cutscene will eventually trigger. After the cutscene,
slaughter what remains
of anything that moves on the field - use magic if you
must since there is a
refill up ahead. Once there is nothing more to kill
then run toward the stairs
in the back of the field.

The front of the stairs will seal off and Kratos will
be trapped in the
circular area as shield soldiers and archers appear.
Run toward the archers
and grab them as they spawn and continue to respawn.
Defeat the shield
soldiers then get ready to fight the tiger that will
spawn after their defeat. The tiger can easily be taken down with charge attacks
from the gauntlet -
remember that each charge attack will stagger him so
you can keep on hitting
him without the worry of getting hit until he is defeated.
Archers and a
warrior wraith will attack in the final wave. Grab all
the archers (they will
respawn a bit) then use charge punches with the gauntlet
of Zeus to easily take
down the warrior wraith.
Use the --SAVE PILLAR-- up the stairs to save your
game. Open the --GREEN
CHEST-- or --BLUE CHEST-- if Kratos needs to refill
his health or magic meter.
This will not be Kratos final fight, but up the stairs
is the final battle for
Chains of Olympus so make any last minute adjustments
that you may need then
continue up the stairs to trigger a cutscene.
Attacks:
Ram - From up close, Persephone rams Kratos with her
shoulders then performs a
side punch to knock Kratos down.
Lunge - Persephone lunges at Kratos then hits him with
both her shoulders and
performs an overhead punch with both hands.
Concrete Stomp - Persephone stomps the ground and plows
up a piece of concrete
then kicks it toward the area directly in front of her.
First of all, all of Persephone's attacks cannot be
guarded against. She will
perform a lunge from far away that can be parried very
easily with the sun
shield so you might want to try to learn the timing.
Press the L button right
when she yells and this will parry the move every time.
If you don't parry the
move then roll to the side to avoid it. If Kratos keeps
his distance from
Persephone, she will constantly switch between her lunge
and concrete stomp.
To avoid the concrete stomp, simply move away from the
area in front of her.
She will kick the concrete piece towards the wall in
front of her, so just stay
away from that area and you won't even have to roll.
Her only other attack is
a ram that she will perform from up close. This is unblockable
as well, so
just keep your distance from her and she will not perform
this move. Both hits
of the close range attack can be parried with the sun
shield but the timing is
rather hard.
One way to go about beating her is to parry her lunge
attack then run toward
her while moving to her side (in order to avoid the
concrete stomp) then hit
her with a charged Triangle hit with the gauntlet. Hold
down the button so that
Kratos leaps into the air after the attack. Persephone
will try to attack
while Kratos is in the air, so charge an Olympic Thunder
(L + Triangle) in mid-air
then bring this move down upon her. The Olympic Thunder
will usually cancel
any attack that she is performing. Roll away immediately
after the Olympic
Strike. You can also run up to Persephone and perform
this same string of
attacks after dodging her lunge attack - you won't have
to worry about the
concrete stomp if you do this.
Light of Dawn's Radiant Sun (R + charge Square) works
very well for taking her down
fast from a distance. For instance, if you dodge her
lunge attack you could
charge a Radiant Sun and fire it off directly afterward.
The Efreet's Demon
Fury and Charon's Wrath work fairly well but Radiant
Sun works the best. If
you use Charon's Wrath be sure to get close to her and
if you use Demon Fury
with The Efreet, you need to try to trap her in a corner.
Either way, you go
about beating the wife of Hades, you must get in a few
attacks (or just one
attack) then roll away immediately or be prepared to
deal with her
counterattacks. One of the cheapest parts about this
boss fight is that
Persephone's moves will even hit Kratos while he is
grounded, so avoiding any
of her attacks is vital!
She will release green orbs and blue orbs once she
has taken enough damage -
she will do this about three times. Once only half of
her health remains,
Persephone will grab Kratos and an action cutscene will
trigger.

Persephone flies into the air then swoops down and
grabs Kratos by the neck. Seeing that Kratos is nearly broken by giving up Calliope,
Persephone tries to
influence him to "Go to her" as she waves
her hand in front of his face and
comforts Kratos in a black aura. !!"BE WITH HER",
"LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND"!!.
Persephone's words comfort and drain Kratos enough to
make him fall to the
ground silently, but Kratos is no fool. Upon hearing
Persephone yell for
Atlas, Kratos +ROLLS+ out of the way of Atlas' fist
as Atlas pounds the
concrete floor. Kratos quickly latches onto Atlas' hand
with the blades of
chaos. Atlas brings his hand back up and tries to smash
Kratos against the
ceiling but Kratos +RUNS+ along the titan's hand then
falls from the other side
and +PUNCHES+ the spike on Atlas' chain making it bind
his left arm to the top
of the world. Kratos continues to fall and +MOVES TO
THE SIDE+ to avoid Atlas'
fingers from his right hand. Kratos plows his blades
into Atlas' palm then
falls with one blade still attached and +PUNCHES+ the
second spike on Atlas'
arm so that it buries into the ceiling of the earth
above the titan bounding
his right hand to the earth above him. An enraged Persephone
swoops by and
grabs Kratos then tosses him back toward the area where
the two fought. "You
will not stop me" Persephone cries.
Attacks:
Light Sphere - Persephone holds up a greenish black
ball of light then hurls it
at Kratos.
Light Ray - Persephone holds out both arms then fires
a light ray toward Kratos
and follows him with the light ray for a few seconds
or until the ray hits.
Light Geyser - Both of Persephone's arms glow and a
black aura appears around
her as she leans downward and summons forth greenish
pillars of light that
blasts forth from the ground around Kratos.
Healing Aura - Persephone falls to the ground. She
wraps her wings around her
then produces a greenish black energy field that recharges
her health.
Kratos will have full life and magic once again as
this portion of the battle
begins. Persephone will stand on one of the broken pillars
in the background
for this battle. Notice the circle of light in the middle
of the area - Kratos
can use this to reflect light but there is no need for
it right now. There is
not much fighting involved this time around. Kratos
must simply focus on
avoiding her attacks for the most part. Whenever she
shoots out a green light
ray, run toward her then circle the current area to
avoid the light ray.
In order to hit Persephone, her greenish black light
spheres must be reflected
through the Helios Reflect move of the sun shield. Tap
the L button right
before a light sphere makes contact with Kratos to deflect
her projectile
attack. This will make Persephone fall and hang off
of her current pillar. At
that time, you are free to run up to her and hit her
with charge punches from
the gauntlet (jump then hit her with a charged Triangle
attack and charged Square attack
in one jump) or stand back and charge a Radiant Sun
with the Light of Dawn and
hurl a few of those at her. Try to get in plenty of
attacks before she pulls
herself up. The Light of Dawn can actually hit her while
she is still on the
pillar, but you risk getting hit while doing this.

Eventually, she will move to another pillar. She will
summon forth light
geysers. Watch for the greenish black circles to form
on the ground around
Kratos then move away from them. Don't just circle the
platform - watch for
the glowing circles then run away from them then look
out for the next glowing
circle. If the light geysers every pin Kratos down then
roll! Reflect her
light sphere again. This time she will reflect it back
at you, so you must
prepare to reflect the projectile right back at her.
After a few reflections
she will fall once again. Run over to her and hit her
with mid-air charge
punches from the gauntlet or stand back and perform
a few Radiant Suns to drain
her life gauge.
She will eventually move to another pillar. Nothing
really changes this time,
but she will not be hit as easily with a reflected projectile
for the rest of
the battle, so prepare to get into a long game of reflecting
in order to finish
her off. Toward the end of the battle she will mainly
perform her other
attacks instead of her light sphere, so be ready to
dodge her attacks while
waiting for her to throw a light sphere.
Once Persephone falls from her current pillar, she
will attempt one final move.
She will wrap her wings around herself as a greenish
black aura surrounds her. At this time, run toward the center glowing circle in
the middle of this area
and press the L button to reflect light off of the shield.
Tap the Circle button to
bathe Persephone in yellow light to finish her off. If she is allowed to
finish this move then she will heal one quarter of her
life and you will be
forced to fight her in order to drain her once again.
An action cutscene will
follow once the Circle button is tapped enough after Kratos
shines light on her.
++ = random button tap
Kratos bathes the wife of Hades in Helios' sunlight.
Persephone cries out then
walks toward Kratos while saying "I am a goddess"
but Kratos answers by
+PUSHING HER BACK+ with the ray of light making her
fall back. Persephone
struggles with the light while walking forth. "I
am a queen" is heard from
Persephone as Kratos +BOUNCES HER BACK+ with more light
which causes her to
fall back once again. In one final attempt, Persephone
fights through the
light, "I am a..." Kratos blasts the goddess
with light once again then runs
up to her to deliver the final blow.
