Road 2

Kratos on the road to Athens

The Road to Athens is a long winding road that starts just beyond the Fortress of Athens and goes all the way to the Athens Town Square. The beginning of the road actually has both a left and right path, the left leading further into the city, and the right leading to the Desert of Lost Souls. The beginning of the road is also actually somewhat of a ledge, which overlooks what appears to be a battlefield.

Directions[]

Continue up the path ahead to pass under the curtains and witness the power of your foe. The path branches here, the road to the right leads to a dead-end for now, but you will find a chest with a gorgon eye at the end. For the moment, take the path to the left and follow it to a village road. As you near the village, the wall before you will crumble, forcing you through a gate to your left. Two minotaurs will appear in this confined tunnel. The only way to exit the room is to get one of the minotaurs to step on the switch in the center of the room. When you've got them there, use Medusa's Gaze to freeze them temporarily and run across the room to pass under the gate before it closes. If you need more magic, the blue chest in the room will constantly refill itself, so take your time and don't get hurt.

When you finally get beyond the gate, head back out to the main road. There are number of enemies along the road, and you can retreat inside of the buildings that line the path for some extra items (including two Phoenix Feathers, two Gorgon Eyes, and a bunch of red orbs). Don't forget to check some secnond floors, they are easy to miss. At the end of the path you'll run into some more difficult enemies, including a couple of gorgons and a pair of minotaurs. Deal with them as you have before, and continue down the path until you reach a road block and a miniature canyon. To get across, first destroy the road block with your swords and jump onto the nearby rope to swing forward. Jump off the rope when it reaches the maximum horizontal distance and you'll cling to a second rope that overhangs the canyon. From here you can reach the other side, though there's a bonus chest of red orbs up above (and to your left) if you care to go for it. When you've finally crossed the canyon, continue forward into Athens Town Square.
