Now there is no hope." He then casts himself off the highest cliff in all of Greece. The game itself then goes back three weeks prior, showing the events leading up to his unfortunate fate as he is sent on a mission to save the city of Athens by slaying Ares, the god of war. Kratos was once a warrior feared throughout the civilized world, famous for his relentlessness in battle, cunning combat tactics, and prowess as a leader.Then came the day that Kratos could never have foreseen - the day that he would meet his match on the battlefield. In desperation, he called on Ares, pledging his eternal loyalty if only the god of war would destroy his enemies.Ares, seeing the potential of a god in this mere mortal, answered Kratos' plea and ripped the barbarian hordes apart in seconds.True to his word, Kratos did Ares' bidding from that day forth. His former savagery paled in comparison to his acts under the watchful eye of the god of war. The god of war orchastrated Kratos into thinking that the village was trying to overpray them to Athena. Demanding that his men burn the village to the ground, the soldiers obeyed. During the raid, Kratos came upon a temple which gave him a feeling to never step foot inside. Before entering, the Oracle of the village warned him that the dangers of the temple were greater than Kratos knew. Ignoring her pleas, Kratos entered and carved a bloody path of murder through the temple attendants who dared to stand in his way, blinded by his bloodlust. Kratos came to his senses to find his wife and daughter lying dead before him, slain by his own hands. The god of war appeared before Kratos, and explained that the death of his wife and child were meant to sever the last vestiges of his humanity and transform him into death itself.From that day Kratos Would no longer Be loyal to the insane God of war,But swore to kill him for what he had done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.Bosses ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.The Hydras=You Have to fight 5 Hydras...Three at the same damn time.

Diffculty-5/5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Enemies --------------------------------------------------------------------- Undead Legionnaires=These Legionnaires belong to Ares' army of the undead. A frequently encountered enemy,For the most part they come in large Clusters. Very easy to kill being they are so weak...just use your blade of Artemis. Minotaurs=they are rather common enemies in the game. They only get bigger and stronger. Kratos can kill them by Cramming a sword in their mouths and out the back of their heads. This will cause health orbs to drop if you can pull it off.Or you can Use the Stone Gaze and shatter them.Make sure you watch out For his axe he's Fast to attack with it. Cyclops=These Bastards are more powerful than the Minotaur,But also alot slower and can be killed by speed attacks.The eye is its weak spot...Not like you need it.Just spank that ass with the Blades of Chaos.His Attacks are easy to Spot and dodge. Harpies=Very weak and just a pain in the ass.They are no real problem until later in the game where they get a powerful dive bomb attack.Kill them off as fast as you can. An easy way to do this is to Grab them and rip their wings off.No red orbs will drop but they drop small orbs anyway. Wraiths=Wraiths are the spirits of fallen soldiers.They can dive into the ground and pop up for a sneak attack.Just be ready And counter Them with a Combo or magic. Once you do enough damage you can grab them and tear their bladed arm off and chop their heads off...and thats always fun. Centaurs=the Centaurs found within the Path of Hades are powerful Warriors with a urge To kill.They have blunt weapons,bows,and are fast to attack.The blades of Chaos and some Magic can deal with them fast. Madusa/Gorgon=Shes a pain in the ass.Shes fast And can freeze you with her stone gaze. If she uses her stone gaze roll dodge until shes done.Hammer her with your Blades of chaos until the O shows up...Once it dones Claim her head as your own. Cerberus=Can deal alot of damage,but thats not the main problem.They can puke up Cerberus Pups and they can grow into full Cerberus dogs....I find the blade of Artemis to be a fast way to kill them off. Siren=Only A few in the game...Can be a problem but for the most part are easy Just damage them and Break them in half.....lol. Satyrs=Fast,agile,and can kick your ass in a hurry.They can block your blades of Chaos with ease.Use the Blade of artemis and The army of hades.One of the most skilled foes in the game.See if you can take their weapon to score the final blow. Yourself=You will only have to fight yourself one time in the game,but you have to fight a whole alot of them. They are very powerful and have the same powers as you, most use the blades of chaos,but a few will use the Blade of artermis. Use the army of hades if they get to be to much this will thin them out a bit.make sure you keep an eye on your family,and use your blade of artemis it worked well for me.Keep an eye open for Clones Floating around using Zeus' Lighting Bolts.If you see one just fire back with one of your own Bolts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.Contact me ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not e-mail me about spelling or grammar mistakes.
