The next part of the God of War timeline picks up in the first game in the franchise. Olympus then abandons Kratos, refusing to free him from his nightmares. Afterward, Kratos rescues Helios, and the sun god ascends to the sky in his chariot.Įxhausted from the recent events, Kratos falls out of the chariot and the gods bring him to the cliffs above the Aegean Sea. This leads to Atlas carrying the world on his back for all eternity. Kratos also subdues Atlas, but, in the struggle, the pillar holding up the world breaks. Kratos then chases Persephone and they fight, which leads to Persephone’s death at Kratos’ hands. He regains his powers by killing many souls in the afterlife and once more becomes the Ghost of Sparta. She makes it clear that she intends to destroy the world by getting Atlas to break the foundations of the planet.Įventually, Kratos realizes that he cannot let this happen. Persephone then reveals that it was her plan to get Atlas to abduct Helios. When there, Persephone tricks Kratos into relinquishing all of his powers to become a normal human once more so that he can join his daughter in the afterlife. This leads Kratos to the Temple of Persephone. When Kratos finds Charon again, the Spartan takes the ferryman’s boat and follows the light of Helios, which is currently lighting up the underworld. Kratos eventually makes his way back up to Charon, but not before seeing Atlas traversing the underworld. A fight breaks out, which leads to Charon tossing Kratos into Tartarus. Kratos meets Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, who does not let the Spartan warrior pass. This puts most of the gods to sleep.Īfterward, Kratos ventures into the underworld to seek out Helios in an attempt to rescue him at the request of the gods. Also, Morpheus has taken this opportunity to release a sleeping miasma across the world in order to seize control of it for himself. Here, the Spartan learns that the titan Atlas has abducted Helios. Kratos makes his way to the last place of remaining light: the Temple of Helios. Though, Kratos then notices the sun fall from the sky and he sets out to investigate what has happened. During the battle, Kratos kills the Persian King. Kratos is tasked with defending Attica against a Persian invasion. The game begins about halfway through Kratos’ 10-year servitude to Olympus during the God of War timeline. This does the trick, however, Kratos then begins having unending nightmares about his dead family, which were apparently being suppressed by the immortal bond. Orkos tells Kratos that the only way to be free from their immortal bonds is to kill Orkos.Īlthough he does not want to kill his ally, Kratos eventually heeds Orkos’ advice and slays the oath-keeper at the latter’s request. Afterward, Kratos goes home but is met by Orkos. This leads to Kratos rampaging through the prison and slaying all three Furies. While torturing Kratos, Megaera accidentally breaks his bonds. He gets imprisoned within Aegaeon and is tortured by the Furies. In the process, Kratos cuts off the arm of the Fury Megaera, but the Spartan loses the fight in the end. Later on in his quest, the Furies confront Kratos and a battle ensues between the two parties. After seeking out the oracle, Kratos learns that the only way to be truly free was to kill the Furies. Orkos, who saw injustice in how Kratos was being tormented, told the Spartan that he could find a way to free himself of Ares by seeking out the oracle Aletheia. Ares became angry at this, which led the Furies to begin plaguing Kratos with countless visions of his dead wife and daughter. However, after the death of his wife and child, a depressed Kratos became a recluse and vowed never to serve Ares again. Ares made a blood oath with Kratos, but then tricked him into killing his wife Lysandra and his daughter Calliope.Īres did this so that Kratos would become the ultimate killing machine who was unbound by emotional bonds. Many years later, Kratos caught Ares’ attention due to his prowess in battle. However, Ares deemed him too weak, and Orkos then became an oath-keeper. Orkos was supposed to be the perfect warrior and the one to lead the charge against Olympus. This led to Ares and the queen of the Furies, Alecto, mating and giving birth to Orkos. Ironically, ages later, the Furies began plotting with Ares to overthrow Olympus. His now immobile body would then become a jail for all of the most hated oath-breakers. In retribution for breaking an oath to Zeus, the Furies punished Aegaeon (one of the Hecatonchires) by turning his body into a stone prison.
