Walkthrough God of War: Ascension Part 4 (Chapters 20 - 25)

Chapter 20: The Gauntlet Of Apollo
The Furies are attacking again, and this time they have an army. Kill off the army guys, and use their spears to attack the Fury. Use the Chaos Blades when she is on the ground.

 
After enough hits, she will be grapple-able. This also explains why that Fury only has one arm. Now it's time for a Fury fight. Dodge the Fury's bird-thing while attacking it on the building.


 
Now fight the Fury. Keep on attacking her, dodging her charge attacks. After a few hits, she uses an attack where it rains down. Dodge the circles on the ground to not get hit. Fight until you can grapple with her, then her sister - the spider one - comes back. It's more or less a free-for-all for a while now. After a few hits, the spider Fury will get an orb surrounding her. Stop attacking her at this point, and only focus on the bird Fury.

 
After a few hits, she becomes grapple-able, so get ready for some good QTEs. A rotate QTE shows up here, the first appearance in the game that I have found. Kill the bird Fury now, but not before a sequence of QTEs. It will enter first-person view for a bit, and it isn't that clear when you are and are not in charge of attacking. Hitting the Square and Triangle buttons every now and then is a good idea. Now for a nice cutscene.

 
After this cutscene, you earn The Oath Stone of Orkos. Once that is done, go turn the crank directly in front of you. Once the crank is turned as far as possible, hold L2 and press Triangle to create a duplicate of yourself to hold the crank in place. Run and climb on the box in front of you now. Hold L2 and press Triangle again to remove your duplicate and raise the box all the way to the top.

 

Chapter 21: The Forearm of Apollo

ARTIFACT LOCATION

Stonemason's Chisel can be found by going backwards as soon as the chapter starts.

Go backwards once up top to find the Stonemason's Chisel. Keep going past that to find some red orbs and a Gorgon's Eye/Phoenix Feather chest. Now go to the left to find a pressure pad. Create a clone of yourself here, then go to the left and swing from the green grapple point.

 

Kill the enemies that spawn here, then go all the way to the left and climb up the wood wall. Move your way around the wooden beams and jump to a platform with a blue/green chest. Grapple the platform on the other side of the room and yank it over.

 

Jump on that quickly and let it take you to a see saw. Create a Kratos clone on the far end, and use the gears and fence to climb up and to the left.

 

Use the green grapple point to slam through the wall, then use the multiple green grapple points to swing across the water and back to where you were before.

 

Kill the Cerberus and the other monsters that spawn, and get yourself back up to that circular room by grappling with the massive chain, yanking it to the left, and then healing the chain half-way. Climb up it and go to the right for red orbs. Jump up to get above the red orbs for a Phoenix Feather/Gorgon's Eye/Red Orb cache. Now enter the building.

 

Put a clone on one of the pressure pads and ride up past the first stopping point you got to last time. Enemies will spawn, so kill them off. Keep an eye on your clone, as he might disappear. Avoiding the fire for the whole ride will also net you a trophy. Once at the top, head outside.

 

Chapter 22: The Ribs of Apollo



Time to grapple. Go to the left and jump for the next grapple spot. Keep swinging across the water, then slide down the wooden wall. Be ready, because there is another green grapple point at the bottom of the wall.
 
Swing from here to another point, then over to a wall. Climb the metal beams up and to the right. At the top, use the last green grapple point to slam through the wall. Be quick with your fingers for another grapple spot on the other side.
 
Start climbing the rock face up to a wooden platform. Climb up the ladder, then keep climbing the rocks. Get to a hanging wood platform to use the two green grapple points here. Now go around to the right and climb a ladder.
 
Snag the two red orb chests up here, then jump off to the hanging wood platforms. Jump from platform to platform, but time your jumps right so you don't miss. Once on the other side, kill the freshly spawned enemies. Before going into the cave, go to the left and get the Gorgon's Eye/Phoenix Feather chests and the red orb chests.
 
Go into the cave and to the left. Press R1 to move some big gears and get to a blue/green chest. Advance around the chest, then press R1 to get to a second gear to push. Run forward into the clearing.
Chapter 23: The Furnace
Kill the cyclopse that crawls up to where you are. Avoid attacking the eggs, because about half of them are filled with more enemies. Once the cyclopse is dead, destroy the remaining eggs and the last few monsters. The gate to your right drops so go behind it to find what looks like a big pile of wood. Drag that out and push it to the middle of the room for now. In the middle of the arena is a gear. Grab that and turn it to pull a platform over to you.
 
Jump on it and let it take you across the room. Follow the path up to an opening. Look at all the items up here, and snag Archimedes' Treasure from the table.

ARTIFACT LOCATION

Archimedes' Treatise can be found by looking at the table on the top of The Furnace in The Furnace.
Grapple with the grapple chain on the ground to open up a flap in front of you. At the furthest point back, create a clone of yourself so you can jump down the flap. Drop down and crank the gear right next to you to open the big gate to your right. Grab the Gorgon's Eye/Phoenix Feather chests here, then find another gear down here to turn. This drops the big gate right next to you. Grab the stack of wood and move it into the slot next to the gear.
 
Turn the gear again to send the shower of sparks down onto the wood pile. The wood then catches fire and burns out immediately. Take this smoldering pile back to where you found it. Use the Amulet to heal it until flames are back. This causes whatever is above the fire to ignite, melting some oil.
Take the wood pile out again, and bring it to the wooden door right next to where you are now. Smash the door down, and stick the pile of wood in this slot. Turn the gear next to where you are now (the one used to haul the platform over to you). This drops the oil into the wood pile.
 
Take the wood out now, and all the way back to where you first caught it on fire. There is another slot right in the middle of the room, so stick the pile there. Use the Amulet again to get flames, but this time the oil catches fire too. This causes the coals above the flames to catch on fire and in turn taking the furnace back online.
 
Kill the enemies that spawn now, then use the gear to pull the platform back over to you, and ride it. Go back around the path and up top to use all three flaps as stepping stones. Once in the chamber above the three flaps, you are taken up on an elevator.
 

Chapter 24: The Shoulder of Apollo

Get off the elevator and jump to the platform behind you. Watch out for the fire falling from the ceiling; timing is key. Keep going down the walkway until you get to a green grapple point. Take it up, then make your way along the wooden beam to the left.
 
When you can, jump up on the conveyor belt. Going all the way to the right will net you a few red orb chests. Going all the way to the left now, you find a green/blue chest and a gear. Turn the gear to get the two sets of platforms next to you moving. Go back down the conveyor belt now, and you get surrounded by fire and enemies.
 
Kill the enemies while staying in the middle of the two fire fountains. Use area attacks and throws to clear out the multiple enemies that swarm you. Once all dead, the fire fountains will stop. Continue down the conveyor belt until you can jump forward onto the platforms. Make your way along these to the left now, jumping at appropriate times. You will have to jump on a big turning cylinder to get to the last platform, so be prepared for that.
 
Once past the platforms you make it to a clearing. Kill off the Elephant men that spawn here. Once everyone is dead, go over to the massive chain and heal it. Now jump up to the green and red orb chests. Now go through the door up here to start a sliding sequence. Follow the path and jump when prompted. Also be ready for green grapple points.
   

Chapter 25: The Furnace (Part 2)

You are now back at where you caught that wood pile on fire. Turn the gear to drop the gate then go out and turn the other gear to pull the platform to you. This causes the whole clearing to lift off. Only a few enemies spawn now, but you have to grapple them then throw them into the fire in the middle of the platform to keep it going upwards.
 
Once at the top, use the grapple chain to pull open a door and at the furthest point back make a Kratos clone. Run over to the freshly exposed gear and turn it. This causes a massive light to turn on and the platform to continue raising. Kill the Knight that spawns. More enemies will attack now, so continue throwing them into the center fire.
 
A few of the squares will also become unstable so avoid them when they are covered in flames. I actually recommend ignoring the knights and focusing on the weaker enemies so that you can throw them into the fire and lift yourself up as fast as possible. Once at the top, kill the remaining enemies then get the crucial blue and green orb chests and the two red orb chests.

ARTIFACT LOCATION

Statue Worker's Idol can be found in the top left corner of the rising platform. It MUST be picked up before continuing to get it, otherwise you have to play through the whole chapter again.
Now jump into the light. This lifts you to the top of the statue. Walk forward and heal the bridge. This will go to a cutscene where you fully heal the statue.
