Chimera fight | Chapter 7: The Tower of Delphi GoW: Ascension Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
On the top of the tower you'll be attacked by chimera. It contains of three animals and so killing this creature has three phases.
In the first one, chimera fights on all four and attacks mostly with a snake, who splits with acid. If you come into it, you get immobilized and knocked down. This stage is simple: avoid hit, make some attacks and dodge again. Do so until you stun enemy and cut off the snake head.
In the second phase, it stands on two legs and begins attack with hands and cones of ice. But attacks are short ranged. You should attack more frequent when beast finishes hitting her claws at you. You can block claws with Spartan's Revenge (an upgrade). Successful block will make beast vulnerable for additional hits. When you stun it (white arc) grab chimera. When Kratos jumps on it, perform 4-5 strong blows before beast throws you down.
In the third phase, chimera returns to all four and you begin a fight with the goat. He'll charge at you and breath with ice. Avoid attacks, moving on sides. Most time you'll spent avoiding its attacks and looking for a space to retaliate.
