Part 2

Continue your journey through God of War: Sons of Sparta with Part 2 of our walkthrough, covering Atlantis and the first boss fight.

Alright, time to dig into Part 2 of our God of War: Sons of Sparta adventure! We're kicking things off as Kratos sails towards the magnificent, yet dangerous, city of Atlantis.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on a ship approaching Atlantis. Get ready, because you'll immediately face some Atlantian Sentries. After you take down a couple of small waves, make your way to the front of the ship. Look for a door on your right that's glowing faintly – give it a kick to open it.
  2. 2
    Inside the cargo hold, more enemies will burst in. Deal with them, and then grab the GREEN CHEST on your right for some much-needed health. On the far side of the room, you can break down a damaged door on your left to find a RED CHEST. Once you've looted everything, kick open the only other door to reach the bow of the ship.
  3. 3
    Your main objective now is to take out the tentacles that have latched onto the ship. While you're fending off those pesky crab-spiders, focus on destroying the main tentacle.
  4. 4
    After the ship crashes into the rocks, you'll have to face the first boss of this section.

Boss Fight: Scylla

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Scylla is vulnerable after its major attacks.

Phases:

  1. The first stage involves Scylla attacking with its tentacles, which you can block. It will also try to crush you with its claws – you can deflect these. After staggering Scylla twice, it will move to the other side of the arena.
  2. In the second stage, Scylla will summon smaller crab-spiders while continuing to lash out with its jaws. Your priority here is to manage the smaller enemies while still blocking Scylla's strikes. Keep up the pressure, and you'll eventually defeat it.
Tips
  • Deflecting Scylla's claw attacks can create good openings for you to counter-attack.
  • Don't get overwhelmed by the crab-spiders; try to clear them out quickly so you can focus on Scylla.
