Arms of Hades

From God of War Wiki

"As the life drained out of Kratos, the Arms of Hades reached out to claim their prize." - Gaia

The Arms of Hades are the large black arms, all left-handed, seen in God of War II that drag the dead, in this case Kratos, into the Underworld. When Zeus betrayed Kratos out of fear and killed him with the Blade of Olympus, Kratos was taken into the Underworld by the Arms of Hades. With the help of the Titan Gaia, motivation to kill Zeus and the desire to live, Kratos kills various hands and escapes the Underworld yet again.
