There's a save point here of course. When you're ready head up into the
temple. Fight your way through here which pretty much just entails defeating
hordes of normal enemies until you reach the large outdoor area where you
rescued the girl from the rope. Save your game at the back door and head
through it to find a number of chests with all kinds of orbs. When you exit
the hall you'll find yourself outside and a cutscene triggers.
Here's the deal, for this first boss every single attack Ares uses is blockable so you'll need to use that to your advantage. I'll tell you this now, the key to victory is the Army of Hades spell, level it up as much as you can before the fight. You attacks deal very little damage to the boss and his deal a lot so you need to play defensively and block at any sign of an attack. Use whichever weapon you prefer for the fight, but keep the Army of Hades going, often the attack alone will blast multitudes of health and magic out of him so much so that casting the spell pretty much cost nothing. You should also use Rage of the Gods early in the battle, because even though you'll need it later if you use it early then it should refill by the time the fight is over. After dealing enough damage to Ares the circle button appears over his head, at this point grab him and start tapping. Immediately after it disappears stop tapping and go into a button combination. You need to make this transition quick or you'll screw up, after this a scene occurs. Now the next part involves you protecting your family from clones of yourself. There are a lot of clones, more than anyone could ever count and it goes on for along while so you'll need to keep yourself alive. Before actual battle tips it's important to note that running up to your family and holding the circle button transfers your health to them, you'll probably have to do this a couple times throughout the battle. Anyway like before your primary weapon should be the Army of Hades magic. Ares' first form dropped a ton of red orbs so you should be able to max out the power. Use this often during the fight, the damage it does should knock out a fair bit of magic power but not enough to replenish it fast enough. The solution? Rage of the Gods which gives you an infinite amount of magic power when the blades are maxed, which they should have been a long time ago. Have this and start using Army of Hades like mad, it should be enough to, if not end the battle, give you the edge you need. After one more scene it's finally time to take on his last form. There's one full health bar between the two of you, damage to him means healing you and vice versa. Most of the battle complications have been removed and you're left with what can most accurately be described as a fighting game type battle on a 3D plane. Here's how it works, all his attacks aren't blockable anymore, most of them are but not all. The first is sort of a fire burst he shoot out of his hand, learn to see this coming and dodge it because it will hit you every time. The second is easier to dodge, he'll pass through the ground and pop up elsewhere. This means that four pillars are about to rise and try to hit you. You can get hit by these nor can you even be standing on the ground if you wish to avoid damage so after he teleports start running normally, forget rolling. If you're running around by the time they pop up you should be outside they're hit range and all that remains is for you to jump in the air before they crash together. Now let's look at damaging him. After most of his combos he'll stop for a moment and kind of roar, this is your chance to strike. Go in with both square and triangle attacks to deal damage to him, if you hit him and interrupt an attack you'll get the chance to do a circle button tapping "tug of war" where if you win it means massive damage AND he gets temporarily stunned. Good all around. The most important things to keep in mind is that you must not try attacking unless he's doing the roar, if he blocks more than three of your attacks in a row he'll do a fire burst that is undodgeable and unblockable because it occurs in a little cutscene type thing, the point is when he starts blocking then you stop attacking. Play more offensively than you did the first time, even knowing how to block and dodge he's likely going to hit you sometimes, and that heals him. Good luck. That pretty much does it, there's one more section where you have control, but if you need a guide for that, then... I don't know what to say. Update: VjDj779 has suggested that destroying the statues in the throne room will unlock one of the game's secret messages, so there you have it. You beat the game. Good job! Now sit back and enjoy the ending. |
