Walkthrough God of War: Ascension Part 1 (Chapters 1-7)

Chapter 1: Prison of the Damned
Start when you get control of Kratos. Use the left stick to dodge the attacks. Once you break free, fight your way forward. Follow the prompts and attack the small beetles with Circle, Square, and Triangle. Keep advancing forward until you enter a building. Turn to the right after you enter the door to find a red-orb chest and a Letter opposite of the chest. If there are gaps or objects in the way, use X to jump or double jump out of the way. Keep fighting forward until you fall into a jail. Fight off these creepy beetle-men. Some will attack with swords, so kicking them will disarm them. Once the room is clear, you will have to interact with the ramp that falls through the ceiling. Walk over to the shiny spot on the ground, and press R1.

Jump up through the hole, and continue forward. There is a green-orb chest directly ahead, and
a Letter on the ground right by the ladder. Go up the ladder by walking towards it. Once up top, there is a red chest to bash open.
 

Now, enter through the door by pressing R1 and mash Circle. Advance forward into the fighting arena. Fight off the two waves of beetles then start the mini-boss battle with the hand thingy. Fight it until you can grapple it. Follow the prompts, then the level will turn sideways.
 

Jump, then attack the hand monster now. When he attacks one side of the stage, drop down into the lower parts to dodge his sweep attack. Again, fight him off until you can grapple him, then follow the QTE prompts. This will cause you to start sliding.
 

Dodge objects in the way with Right Stick. Eventually you will get all the way down to The Sewer.
Chapter 2 The Sewer
There is a page to collect right as soon as you land in the sewer. Once you grab it, jump towards the left wall. You will start to climb your way out. Follow the path of jutting stones, they have a slight silver lining.
 

Climb up to a drainage tube, and use R1 to kick out the grate. Once back outside, go towards the right, and hug the wall to walk along the edge. Once at the end of the wall, jump to the other wall.
 

Again, climb up to the top. Once up top, there is a green orb chest and two red orb chests tucked back into a jail cell.

ARTIFACT LOCATION

Prisoner's Oath Stone can be found in the jail cell with enemies in it. After clearing them out, go in to find the artifact.
After collecting all the orbs, interact with the lever all the way to the left of the stage. This will unleash a few enemies and open up access to a big chain.
 

Kill the guys, then interact with the chain to open the gate next to it. Go down the hallway that you just opened. This will set up you getting grabbed by some giant hands. Kill off the enemies that get sent your way. When a green shining spot shows up, press R1 to use it as a swing to get out of that building chunk.
Chapter 3: The Guard House
Go all the way to the left. There's a green orb chest here, so snag that. Now, interact with the lever to close the gate, and extend the ladder. Climb up the ladder, and drop down to where you just were.
 

Go interact with the glowing bit at the top of the platform. Walk backwards towards the screen once you are latched on to the glowing bit. This will cause a cyclopse to start attacking you. Once you fight him some, you can grapple with him. This causes you to jump on top and control him. Bash away the new enemies who are spawned. Once they are all cleared out, you will automatically kill the cyclopse. Now drag that chain again. This will drop the gate, so go climb the ladder again. Use the new hang spot to jump to the next ledge.
 

There's a red orb chest up here, so snag that. Use the other hang spot around the corner to swing your way forward. Hand guy is back! Fight him until you can grapple. This will pull a huge chunk of building down onto Hand Man. After this happens, you will have to do it again on the other side of the stage
 

After all of this, fight him again until the red grapple line appears. This will enter into a big QTE segment to kill off the Hand Man.
Once all that is done, you are now in a small corridor. Go down the hallway in front of you to find two red orb chests and a lever. There is also a wall you can get some information about.
 

After pulling the lever, a gate opens, so go back the way you came, then over through the gate. After killing off the dog-beetle enemies, go to the left, climb some stairs, then double jump to get to a red orb chest. Once that is done, go over to the giant sideways cylinder. Grapple it to send the platform you are on upwards.

 

It will stop, so fight off another wave of dog enemies. Once clear, go to the sides to release the clamps holding the platform in place. Then go use the grapple in the middle of the platform to send yourself back up.

 

This will cause that harpy to throw boulders at you, causing the platform to stop again. Kill off the last wave of dog enemies, then jump and use the green glowing spot to swing over to the wall. Start climbing as fast as you can. Jump between the wooden structures to get to the top. Once up top, grab the page by the ledge then snag some green orbs. Climb on up the ladder in front of you.
Chapter 4: The Hecatonchires
Walk all the way down the walkway past the door to find a page. Now, go through the door. This is a big, round cutscene. Now for the epic finale. Kill all the enemies on the platform you are on. This will cause the Fury to bring the whole place to life!


Fight off the new enemies while attacking the fleshy vice grips holding onto the platform. You will get taken to a small horizontal platform, with Hand Guy.
Fight off Hand Guy as you have been in the past, then when Grapple time comes, jump on that! Use Square and Triangle to attack the face with the hand. This will end Hand Guy's life (finally), and you will grapple onto the Fury.

When you are close, hit Square to attack. After killing everyone, this will end the first section.

Chapter 5: The village of Kirra
Walk forward until you first see buildings. Go all the way to the right to find a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix Feather (on the way you can smash two doors open to collect two red chests). Now go back to the buildings, then forward until you are in the clearing.
Advance until a giant elephant man attacks. Kill him off, and the whole area is opened back up. Go all the way to the right to find a moveable block. Climb on top to get to a Phoenix Feather, then jump down and move the block.

ARTIFACT LOCATION

Circe's Vial can be found by climbing up the cage/movable block and into the buildings. It's on the ground.

Carry it over to the left to get to a platform with a red chest. Go around the left to the back, and find a post that you can move. Press R1, then walk around to rotate the post, and turn the giant gears next to you. Once done, go around to behind the gears to find a Gorgon's Eye.

Now, backtrack back to the big clearing where you fought Elephant Man. Climb the moveable block back up to where that red orb chest was. Now jump up to get to the rope overhead. Move along this to the other end. Advance forward over the bridge, and kill the bugs that pop up.
Start to climb the ladder, then notice the slightly glowing white bits on the wooden beam next to you. Jump over there, and climb along the beams where there is a slight white light. You will have to jump a few times. Once across the gap, there is a door you can break down on the right that has a red orb chest in it. Snag that then advance into the next clearing where there is a big flaming door. Go over and press R1 to get the Fire of Ares upgrade.

Kill off the spawning enemies using your new abilities by pressing either R3+L3 or R2. Once all dead, the flaming wall will open up. Continue through here to a clearing for a big fight with a minataur. Take out the ranged attack guys first, as they are really weak but can mess up combos while fighting. Now, kill everyone else.

Once the area is clear, the black vortexes open up. There are two red orb chests on the right, and a red orb chest and a Gorgon's Eye on the left.
Jump forward, then across the broken bridge until you can use the Sling for the first time. Kill off the monsters, then go all the way to the left. Now for some platforming. Jump up to the lip on the left (can be hard to see, so look for spots of snow in a straight line). Move along, jumping across gaps. After two big jumps to the left, start to climb up. One last jump upwards, and you can climb up to a platform with what looks like a big ferris wheel on it.

   

Kill off the enemies, then go around back of the water wheel to get two red orb chests. Now, back in the front, there is a chain to grapple. Grab on to it, and walk backwards. This will get the water wheel spinning. At the farthest point back, let go then quickly run up the wooden beam on the right and jump up onto a water wheel car. Once at the top, jump across to a bridge

   

Follow this along until the door ahead of you is blocked. Go off to the right, and wall-walk around the side. Fight your way through until a bridge breaks under you. Kill everything, and go around to the right to find a building with a red orb chest and a Gorgon Eye chest.
 Keep going around to the right to find a big puzzle room. Avoiding the massive cylinder of death, run around to the back and smash a wooden wall to jump to the center of the room. Once there, wait until the cylinder goes past the left side, then pull the left-most grapple chain. Pull the one at the top, then the one to the right.

Assuming the cylinder is now caught with the first big wall you moved on the left, run over to the right, and climb up the blocks. Up top you will find two red orb chests, a Phoenix Feather and a Gorgon Eye. This will also net you the trophy Round and Round.
Now, go all the way back to where that bridge collapsed under you. There is a very small glowing point on the ground, and when standing on it, a grapple arc pops up above the pillar in front of you. Grapple it to make it fall over, then use the rubble to climb up. There is a Medusa up here, so kill it. You will have to grapple with it multiple times to take it out. Then advance through the door in front of you. Walk forward. You will be attacked by a few bugs on your left. Kill them, and go to the left. If you do, you find a mysterious painting and a broken chest. Back out, and now going forward, you enter into The Cistern.
Chapter 6: The Cistern
Kill off the few bugs in the way, then climb up the side of the big Minataur head. Keep jumping to get up to the aquaduct. Go backwards to get a Gorgon Eye and some red orbs.

Now, advance forward until you get to a slide. Slide down it, then at the end, jump and use the grapple spot to swing to the cliff. Climb up the cliff, then go forward to the big blue wall. Get the Ice of Poseidon upgrade and kill off the enemies.

Advance through the big open door, and keep going forward. You will walk right into a Gorgon's Eye chest and some other chests. Jump to the back of the big snake, and continue forward. Go until you get to a grapple point, and unleash the clamp holding the snake in place. Ride along through the cutscene. After, notice the green grapple point. Grab onto that, and then climb up the wall.

Once you see a ladder to the left, jump over there. Go up, and you will end up on a huge spiral walkway. Going down will net you a Phoenix Feather. Now, go up the spiral walkway until you can't. Go out to the right to find two red orb chests tucked in the far corner. Then head left and smash some eggs. Instead of going up the ladder, keep going to get a Gorgon's Eye and some red orbs.
Chapter 7: The tower of Delphi
Now, go up the ladder and fight the Chimera. Once dead, grapple with the grapple chain, and pull it backwards. That almost worked, so now jump through the gaping hole in the red snake next to you. Directly backwards is a red orb chest. Go forward now, and slide down the slide, jumping when needed.

Destroy all of the eggs in addition to the other monsters. If this is your first time facing a guy with a shield, Grapple with them to yank the shield out of their hands. You can now pick this up to use if wanted. Fight to the back of the room.
Once the black vortex clears, jump up the boxes and clear the eggs out of the doorway. There is a red orb chest behind them. Now, go to the right, and jump out, and then on top of the snake. Go to the left, and walk until you get to a lot of green grapple points.

Grapple to the first one and start swinging. Press X at the right time to jump, then grapple on to the next one. Continue until you are across the gap. Once there, go backwards to find a green grapple spot that takes you up to a Gorgon's Eye and some red orbs.
Now, go forward until you drop down by a big Zeus statue.

Quick Time Events, or QTEs, are a game mechanic where the game will ask you for a specific input of button presses. These usually occur during fights with larger enemies or during platforming segments. Most of the time, the specific button inputs are randomized and there is no pattern
