4-Lost Soul

Wandering Souls are skinless, lost souls, which are the size of a normal human.

In God of War III[]

  • Found only in the Realm of Hades and in Tartarus, this Enemy moves slowly, and is quite often found at small groups and sometimes all alone.
  • They will not attack you, unless you get too close. After killing them by grabbing the "O" they will drop a small green orb.

Trivia[]

  • It was shown during the trial of The Three Judges, some of the deceased mortals fall on the judges' court. Some of them were dragged by the Arms of Hades that appeared on the floor into a black void. When they emerged, they were turned into the wandering souls. During the second trial, when they were in contact with the metal bars surrounding the Three Judges, the energy transformed them into either Minotaurs or Olympus sentries who then proceed to attack Kratos.
    • According to the first Trials of Erebus, "The Condemned: Fuelled by fear, the lost from the world above have nowhere to escape from their sins" and the second, "The Lost: Why do the condemned souls of Hades continue to seek salvation, when they are eternally damned?", some of the souls were sinned mortals that earn damnation (first text) and they attempt to earn salvation but were transformed into monsters instead (second text) with their former selves lost.
  • During Kratos' trip in the underworld, it is possible to see some of them in different positions, such as sobbing, praying and arguing with each other, implying that they still retain their memories when they were still alive.
    • According to the texts of the Trial, they are sinned, condemned souls who attempt seek salvation in vain. This, however, may change after Kratos selflessly sacrificed himself to release the power of Hope.
