Walkthrough - The Caldera

Jump down onto the steps with caution, and run and jump across to the platform before it falls into the lava. Fight off the bird enemies and jump to the set of ledges in front of you. Run through the doorway and continue down the hall. Open the chest with eitherGREENor BLUE ORBS and save your game before entering the next room.

Jump down from the ledge and run to the door at the far right side of the room. Open it and traverse through down the path until you meet Thera. After a quick conversation, walk to the edge closest to her and push CIRCLE to activate the mini game.

Trophy Alert: Here is your chance for your first chapter related missable trophy called "Make Her Scream". You must keep Kratos pulling the chain not too hard nor too soft. Right in the middle. The secret is to keep looking at his back.

As soon as you've taken Thera's Bane, run as fast as possible back towards the door. When you get back inside, one of the statues will be reanimated. Because he's wearing armor, however, he's invulnerable to regular attacks. Hold R while attacking to use Thera's Bane, and light your blades on fire. This will damage his armor and, eventually, bring about a large CIRCLE above his head. Walk up to him and press CIRCLE, which starts the mini game. Rapidly press CIRCLE until you've destroyed the enemy, and have obtained the Automation Gear.

Go to the door on the left side of the room and open it with your new key. Walk through the hallway until you get to the platform. Open the chest on the left side, and you've got your fourth GORGON EYE (4/15). Turn around and use Thera's Bane to take out the large screw on the right side, and cross the newly formed path. Enter through the doorway, and run down the familiar looking hallway. Approach the half-broken door and hold CIRCLE. When prompted, destroy it by pressing R.

Open the two chests in the next room for GREEN ORBS and RED ORBS, and proceed up the ramp. When you reach the top, drop onto the slope and slide down the path. Jump when prompted to get to the other side.

Two minotaurs and a pack of fiery harpies will attack you when you land, so proceed with caution. Once you've taken them out, open the treasure chest to either replenish your health or magic withGREENor BLUE ORBS. Pull the lever on the far side of the platform, and then run towards the opening. When the newly created surface on the lava starts moving, hop on. Some spider-creatures will try to hitch a ride, rip them in half and continue downstream.

Before the lava rock disintegrates, jump onto the wall and climb to the top. To the left is a save point and a chest containing the first MINOTAUR HORN (1/15). Walk to the right and sidle across the small ledge to get to the other side. When you get across destroy the large screw to the right using Thera's Bane, then jump up to get to the new path.

Walk down the path until you get to an opening. Open the chests to get some GREEN ORBS and BLUE ORBS, and then break down the door (Hold CIRCLE + R, when prompted). Go through the doorway and walk down the path. Before you sidle through the crack, open the chest with RED ORBS to the right. Squeeze your way through the crack, out onto the ledge.
