With that, Kratos sets off yet again into Hades, his vengeance so close but yet oh so far.įrom here, the game proper begins. The flames, apparently, grant the gods strength and by removing them, their permanent defeat is possible. Giving our confused Spartan a new set of weapons, the Blades of Exile, Athena tells us to seek out the Flames of Olympus and extinguish them. Before he can contemplate his situation, however, the pale shade of none other than Athena appears! The goddess explains that she has found a new level of existence and tells our hero that her father, Zeus, must be put to an end for the good of all Greece, lest it be destroyed in his madness. Though our withered warrior makes it out of the Styx, he is both furious and weary, having been betrayed by another seemingly benevolent force. Being partly divine, our forlorn fighter does not instantly join the deceased in their agony, but they do still drain every last drop of godhood from him, bringing us back to square one yet again. With a vengeful roar, our hero falls and is dashed on the rocks below.įollowing suit with the other titles, Kratos finds himself in the River Styx, surrounded by the souls of the dead.
While he demands her help, Gaia lets it be known that he is just a pawn who has done what was needed and is now expendable. Once he reaches Gaia again, Zeus has finally had enough and starts throwing a veritable storm of thunderbolts at his enemies, striking the Titaness as she climbs! As she tumbles, Kratos too begins to fall, clinging to her with his giant sword. With Poseidon dealt with and the thrill of victory in his veins, Kratos begins making his way up Mount Olympus in order to catch up with the Titans, whom he parted with during the battle. Our merciless hero beats the divine out of the oceanic deity, resulting in his foe erupting and the seas to foam and swell in rage! I was not expecting this. In the previous two games, we’ve basically spent the whole experience chasing and trying to defeat a single god or godlike entity, but when Kratos squares off with the kinda Jason Momoa-looking Poseidon, the result is a shockingly violent death… but for the God. That is until Poseidon gets within punching distance. Sure, he is still a force to be reckoned with, but the amount of divine fury being thrown around is such that even he can’t seem to keep up. The introduction to the game is honestly fantastic, with the constant action and feeling of scale! Teeny-tiny Kratos seems so insignificant next to and around the humongous Titans and Gods. The gods, however, disagree with this plan and join the fray, with Poseidon summoning deadly Hippocampi, Helios burning all in the wake of his chariot, Hades reaping souls, and Hermes being a general pest. The game kicks off pretty much where God of War II left off: our livid living legend Kratos is fighting off the forces of Olympus atop the Titaness Gaia, who is, in turn, climbing Mount Olympus in an effort to cast down the current gods and bring about the second age of the Titans.

If this is your first time joining me on my journey, I recommend starting from the top to get the full experience! But without further ado, let us dive into the final leg of this Sisyphean quest and explore the final title, God of War III. My goal, simply enough, is to figure out who the main character, Kratos, is and how he goes from a man angry enough to squeeze diamonds out of coal with his frown alone to the slightly-less-angry but responsible father figure we see now. In this mini-series, I have been going through my own little labours by playing through the mainline God of War games (with the addition of God of War Ascension) that precede the 2018 soft reboot of the same name.
