Feather Plucker

Description: get twelve hidden phoenix feathers – detailed description - where to find those - below.

Type: silver

Realm of Hades


The item is located in a place where you get the bow of Apollo. Before you return to the blocked passage in the cave notice that on the first floor, where you a few moments ago knock the container down, is one more alcove. Open it with the bow and jump gliding above the burning container. You will find there a chest with the phoenix feather.

Judges of the Underworld


Another item is in the cave, after the sequence near the statues of three kings. You can find it in a place where you will have to solve an easy puzzle. When the furnace will be on the fire (the stronger one, after knocking down the container), glide up in the air, lower the bars and sjum on it. In that way, you can open the door to the secret room. Inside, in addition to a large number of demonic hands, you will find the phoenix feather.

Palace of Hades


Another item you'll find in the upper chamber of the palace of Hades. You can get it right after the scene with the Persephone’s coffin. First, you have to go to the end of the hall on your left. You will discover there a ladder. Being at the top, you'll find two chests with experience, and one (hidden behind a wall) with the phoenix feather.

Path of Eos


During the Path of Eos you will enter the dark cave. At the beginning of it harpies will attack you. At the other end of that room (where the battle with harpies will take place), there will be a hidden passage (use the head of Helios in order to open it). A bit further you will come across a rope which leads toward the end of the stage. Before you use it, jump down on a hidden shelf. You will find there a chest with experience and the phoenix feather.

The Chain of Balance


During the first level of the flight along the chain, in its final phase, you will come across the sequence of climbing with falling rocks. After the climbing, jump down on the shelf, use the head of Helios in front of you and uncover a hidden chest with the phoenix feather.

Olympian Citadel


After the death of Hermes you will reach an involving-agility-sequence. Make use of the boots in order to climb vertical walls. Being outside the building run up the walls to the top, to the place shown in the left image (in the background will be a characteristic scolapture, illuminated with yellow light). You'll find there a hidden chest with the phoenix feather.

The Flame of Olympus Part 2


Another feather is hidden in the room where you will have to solve the puzzle (with the shattered picture of a sword) and performe a piece of music (a mini game which is a very characteristic part of the game, I’m sure you'll recognize it). In that room, on the left side at the top (after the flight over the hot air) you will find two chests: with the phoenix feather and experience.

Poseidon's Chamber


The next feather can be found at the end of the Poseidon’s Chamber level, after killing the princess (and making through the previously closed bars). On the other side of the bars a cut-scene with the Pandora will be triggered. You will also find there a hidden chest (in order to expose it use the head of Helios) with the phoenix feather.

Tartarus


A very visible chest, almost at the center of the path, at the early stage of Tartarus level. Go along the only possible path, which will take turn into the right after a few meters, and after a while you will hit it (with the phoenix feather).

Gates of Tisiphone


This item can be found behind the gates of Tisiphone (after solving the puzzle). After watching a short cut-scene go through the open gate. Just behind it you will find the light to save the progress of the game and a chest with the phoenix feather.

Daedalus' Workshop


This item has been hidden in the workshop of Daedalus. To get it, first you have to rise the ballista - just pull the nearby lever. Then run up the wall on the right side and jump to the golden teleporter, so as to find yourself near another lever (time-lever). Use it and go back to the ballista. Now, you just have to shoot the rope into the teleporter in front of you (after opening - in the same way - the blocking bars) and knock down chests to the ground. Inside one of the chests you will find the phoenix feather.

Hera’s Garden


The last feather can be found at the beginning of the Hera’s garden. After the first cut-scene go straight. You will find a chest with experience, and another two on the right. On the left hand, you will uncover a hidden chest with the phoenix feather.

Gorgon Eyes

Eye Candy

Description: get twelve hidden gorgon eyes – detailed description - where to find those - below.

Type: silver

Realm of Hades


After getting control over your character’s body – just after the scene with Athene – you will be forced to go ahead and make a jump with a swing (R1). In that way, you will reach a platform below. You’ll find there two chests, one with red orbs and one with the gorgon eye.


When you reach the place where you have to glide in order to land on a stone platform, a longer sequence of climbing will be ahead of you. After getting to the top, go towards the waterfall on the left. Jump through it and made the hidden recess with the chest of gorgon eye.

Judges of the Underworld


This hidden item should be find at the very beginning of the level, just after the battle. Before going towards the statue of judges turn into left. You will spot there a destroyed bridge – jump over and go to the very end of the platform. You will find there a chest with experience and the gorgon eye.

The Forge


The item can be obtained during the visit in the forge. After the conversation with Hephaestus – before setting off – turn into left and go towards the closed gate. Next to it you will find another gorgon eye.

The City of Olympia


At the beginning of the level you will have to go through the cave. During the trip you will come across two precipices. In order to travel over them you have to make use of harpies. During the second flight you will get a chance to reach a hidden ledge on the right – jump on it from the second harpy. You will find there chests with experience, the gorgon eye and the minotaur horn.

Path of Eos


At the beginning of the path you will come across the light which gives you the possibility to save the progress of the game. Near that area is the chest with the grogon eye – on the left, beyond the scope of the game camera.


A bit further, covering the path which leads towards the top, you will discover two chests with red and blue orbs (just after the fight with the new breed of enemie). However, more important will be one which is hidden on the right behind the wall (use the head of the Helios to uncover it). Thanks to that you will get another gorgon eye.

The Flame of Olympus


Just after the starting piont of the level you job will be to catch the messenger of the gods. Before you go after him, walk towards the place where the fragment of the chain of the balance is located. On the left side of it you will find hidden room with some chests – use the head to open the enterance – in one of them will be the gorgon eye.

The Flame of Olympus Part 2


During the second trip through the corridors in the Flame of Olympus level, you will ended up in the very long corridor. Some wraiths will attack you there. Dispatch those creatures and go down the stairs – at the bottom you will find a hidden chest, use the head to uncover it. Inside the chest will be the gorgon eye.

Poseidon’s Chamber


Another eye is in the chember with the Poseidon’s princess – you will reach that place at the end of the level, just after the room with many teleports. On the right, in one of the alcoves (in the one which is a bit more further from the camera), you will find the godly possession. Near that place a chest with the gorgon eye is hidden too (an alcove closer to the camera).

Daedalus' Workshop


In order to get this upgrade (one of many in this room) you have to launch the rope into the teleport on the left side, whereas the launcher is raised. In that way the rope will give you a chance to reach the platform with the chest and the gorgon eye.

Hera’s Garden


During the level in Hera’s Garden you will get yourself into the corridor with satyrs (the new type of enemies). After leaving the narrow path, on the right, behind the hedge, you will find another two chests with experience and one with the gorgon eye (it will be hidden – use the head to uncover it).


Godly Possessions

Priceless

Description: the trophy will be unlocked after collectiong all 10 secret items. They are located through out the whole campaign. Below you wil find the detailed location of each item.

Type: gold


Zeus’ Eagle: during „Gaia’s Heart”, in the room with the heart itself, you will find the first secret item. To get it, you have to climb the right wall (don’t move the stone block) to its top and get onto the stone ledge. That’s where you will find the Possession.


Hades’ Helm: after you finish fighting Hades (during the „Hades” stage), you will be able to save your game. Do so and dive into the Styx. At its bottom (before you swim with the current to the boss’ dead body), you will find Hades' Helm.


Helios’ Shield: before you move on after killing Helios during „The City of Olympia”, go to where the god has been killed. There you will find the secret item.


Hermes’ Coin: during the chase after Hermes in „Olympian Citadel” you will eventually launch yourself from a ballista. Upon landing head forward, towards the big statue head. Right behind it you will find it.


Hercules' Shoulder Guard: after dealing with Hercules during „The Forum” you will ended up in the sewer. Before you move on, dive into the water to which the body felt. At the bottom you will find the secret item.


Poseidon's Conch Shell: during „Poseidon’s Chamber”, you will eventually reach a room in which you’ll meet the god’s lover. Push her through the teleport and then take a look round the area. On the right, in one of the nooks you will find Poseidon's Conch Shell.


Aphrodite's Garter: the item can be found in Aphrodite’s Chamber, during the stage of the same name. The item is hidden on a barely visible platform behind the goddess’ bed. Glide there (you have to jump or you’ll fall into the pit) and pick up Aphrodite's Garter.


Hephaestus' Ring: during another visit to the Forge (the last one, after killing Cronos), you will have to fight Hephaestus. Kill him and take a look behind the water container on the left to find the item.


Daedalus' Schematics: the item can be in one of the chests hanging from the ceiling in Daedalus’ Workshop. You will get there after the „Upper Gardens” stage. To knock the chest down, you have to firstly pull the lever on the balcony (use the yellow teleport on the right) and ten fire a rope into the teleport in the front. Open the chests once they fall down.


Hera's Chalice: this item is the only Godly Possession needed to finish the game, so missing it is pretty much impossible (Kratos will pick it up automatically during a cutscene). You will obtain the item during the beginning of „Hera’ Garden”.

Challenges


Up to the Challenge

Description: you will get the trophy after successful completion of all seven challenges which are available after finishing the main story. Each challenenge is described below.

Type: gold


Population Control: you have to prevent a total of 50 enemies from appearing on the arena for 90 seconds. It’s quite easy and can be completed on the first try. The enemies are plain undeads and your weapon is the Cestus. Attack by using the Square, Square, Triangle combo and as the enemies are in the air – finish them off with L1+Square.

Keep an eye on the situation and watch where the enemies gather. Attack the biggest groups.


Bare Hands: you have to eliminate all the enemies in 75 seconds. Achieve it by constantly grabbing the normal undeads and then charging (Square) into others. At the beginning your target will be two stone statues and afterwards an armoured Cyclops will take over the role of the main enemy.

Before the Cyclops show up, you should weaken the statues a lot (it’s quite possible). During one charge you can deal damage several times. In order to make it in time, you can’t waste time for normal finishers.

It’s a quite demanding task and you probably won’t finish it on the first try.


Get Stoned: it’s by far the hardest challenge, requiring both time and patience. In order to complete it, you have to get petrified 10 times. Would be easy, if not for the arena filled with enemies.

Before I move on to the main strategy, some tips: don’t fight the enemies (it’s not your main task and you won’t have enough health), don’t jump (if you get petrified during the light, falling down will equal death) and above all – don’t attack the Medusas (keep a distance and provoke them to petrify you.


The key is to know how to behave during the petrification. If you get hit by the green beam, stop and block the attack. It will only work if you press one of the basic buttons during the activated QTE – don’t do it. This way you will speed up the process. Once it’s finished, quickly move the left stick to free yourself.

After 2 waves of enemies Harpies will appear, after 4 a Medusa and Satyr and after 8 an armoured Cyclops (which will additionally make thinks harder). Constantly keep moving, run from enemies and block their attacks if you need to. Also try not to waste any green beam.

El Matador - Ole: it’s a very hard challenge, if you don’t know the trick (which makes it very easy in fact). For this challenge to be completed, you can’t let any Minotaur hit you or any undead grab you (the enemies won’t use any other attacks). Stand at the edge of the arena and wait for the enemy to approach. Afterwards you have to jump in the direction of the pit and glide back onto the arena. The Minotaurs will fall down and you’ll only have to deal with the undeads (L1 + Square), which isn’t hard.

Knockout: a very easy task which can be completed on the first try. You have to get 1000 points on 60 seconds by throwing enemies out of the arena. To make things easier, I will add that you can (or even must) take over the Cyclops. Once he shows up, attack him with a full Triangle combo (start hitting even before he fully materializes) and press Circle once the QTE mark appears (no more buttons are required, Kratos will automatically do the rest).

During knocking off, use the faster attack under Square and head to where more precious enemies are (it this case, Minotaurs).

Hades' Kids: this challenge is one of the most demanding. You will have to kill four armoured Cyclops. Deal with the first one using Triangle combos. After he’s dead, two more will appear. Continue using Triangle, while keeping in mind that the last attack knocks the enemies back. Try to make it hit two enemies at once (you can make it so the enemies don’t even have the chance to counter attack). Once they’re dead, as much as four more will appear. This is where this challenge gets tough.

You can focus on one of them, while trying not to get killed and what’s more probable – getting knocked out of the arena. Keep attacking the chosen one of them and wait for a QTE mark to appear – once it does, quickly activate it – it will require pressing four basic buttons. You can also try to run along the edge of the arena (while constantly jumping) and try to make one of the enemies fall down (Cyclops are quite big and they tend to fall down often).

Simply Smashing: it’s quite easy, but might require several tries. Your task is to destroy 30 pots in 20 seconds. Use the Square, Square, Triangle combo. Try to aim the first two attacks and make use of the third, powerful one. You should also try to destroy the pots while following a pattern and not leave any behind.
