Walkthrough | Chapter 12: The Oracle's Chamber GoW: Ascension Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You'll fight Castor the Prophet. First, you'll have to run after him over collapsing bridge.
Stay to the right side and run, jumping over the breaches.
When you see a green light at a columns' joint, catch it, run a bit and next grab sticks you to the wall. Move a bit right and jump onto a bridge with Castor.
Running forward, you'll jump onto a column and star sliding. Focus on pressing buttons which will appear on the screen.
When you find yourself in front of Castor, grab a rock from your left and throw at him.
He'll make an arena and then make the middle part grey. Run to left or right. The encounter begins.
At the beginning, Castor is hardly aggressive, attacking from distance and with short range combos. Avoid or block his attacks and damage him using maximum range of your Chaos Blades. If you get to close, he'll combo you.
When you make him angry enough, he'll make a barrier around him and start destroying the environment. Floor diminishes counterclockwise. Elements which fall first, will reappear before the half of the floor disappears. Place on the right of Castor on the outer circle of falling ground and wait until its middle part returns - then simply jump on it.
The battle's tempo increases. Castor will make much more combos, teleportation and hit you with powerful blows from the air. Avoid the latter ones, trying to block remaining. What is more, Castor will produce green circles - jump out of them to avoid getting slowed.
You can make this part of fight easier by destroying columns and throwing them at boss. Castor also will destroy few of them, giving your necessary missiles.
When you make the boss angry again, he rebuilds columns and start firing at you with the decay blasts. Avoid them and try to destroy the column on which he is standing. If he runs away, and you've destroyed it already, use rocks to throw at him.
As the columns got destroyed, Castor's attacks will get stronger and begin to decay the floor. Run away from the grey area.
When the all columns are destroyed, boss will attack you with combos. You can block them unless Castor attacks you from the air. When he ends his combo, do yours.
Making him angry again, force him to run towards the Oracle and destroy the ground. Run at the other end of arena and wait for an attack. You need to press buttons appearing on the screen. After that, you'll fight Castor's twin.
Block and avoid his distance attacks to get closer. Again, use your maximum range of Chaos Blades. If boss begins the combo, jump away.
When Castor starts destroying the ground, approach the center of the arena and block his missiles.
When the floor and columns return, he'll summon a slowing barrier. Destroy it, by throwing a rock at him.
Now you have to finish him. Use all you've got to end the most difficult part of the fight. Broken columns will be very useful.
When the Oracle is dead, run to the boss and attack him to stop destroying the arena. When he is stunned, grab him and finish the deal.
