The Temple of Lahkesis God of War 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Time for another Pegasus-based sequence. You have to defeat a group of Griffin riders. At the end you'll fight a slightly more powerful mini-boss. He's not very different from the previous riders, just remember to chase him (X) each time he flies away. At the end of the duel you have to enter a proper button sequence. Keep your focus, because when the battle ends, you'll have to press a certain button in the exact moment when you're prompted to - if you miss it, you'll fall to your death. If you do it right, you'll be climbing a vertical wall on one of the mysterious islands.

Climb up. On the left side of the platform you'll see two chests (one contains a few types of orbs, second - a Phoenix Feather), and on the right - a save point. There's a ladder nearby, climb it and defeat some guards. Go up even further. You'll be attacked by some guard dogs - the most efficient way of dealing with them is to press O in order to kick them. Before you take the elevator, go to the right and get the experience from the chests (you can also get some red orbs for hitting the hanging skeletons). Pick up the body that's laying there (it's barely visible) and place it on the elevator, then pull the lever to go down.

Place the body on a button here and push the lever. Now quickly go to the next room. Smash the gate and watch another cut-scene. Go back a few steps and go towards the back of the screen, along a tight path. Watch out, as it will collapse under your weight - you have to time your jump right. You'll reach a room where you have to defeat some more guard dogs as well as a three-headed, Cerberus-like beast. To deal with the latter, first hit it with your blades and then press O to tear away its heads. Regain your strengths using the chests in the back of the screen.

Destroy the statues on the right side to get some experience. Under one of them you'll see a moving piece of stone - grab it and place it as indicated on the left screenshot below, then use it to get to the upper platform. In there, you'll find a save point. Grab the wall to the left and go down. Get some experience and health points, then climb the ceiling. Go along the bottom side of the bridge, defeating the enemies. When you see a glowing blockade before you, smash it to pieces and reach the other side of the bridge.

Defeat a group of dogs and soldiers (use the bow to get rid of the archers). Jump to a place where archers were standing. Defeat more enemies and approach the lever to use it. You'll now encounter Sirens - they are quite similar to Gorgons, but use sonic attacks instead of stone-turning. Always keep evading their attacks. When you defeat them, jump on a small platform to the right and climb the chain. Go along the ceiling to get to two chests (smash the chain that's blocking your way) - one of them contains a Gorgon Eye.

Go through the main gate and jump on a gigantic chain. Run towards the Steeds of Time.
