Typhon's Bane is a weapon introduced in God of War II, stolen from Typhon's eye.

As Kratos made his way to the Island of Creation, he comes across Typhon's Lair. After making his way through the cavern, he encounters Typhon, and stabs him in the eye repeatedly. Kratos rips out Typhon's Bane from behind Typhon's eye, and uses it to free Prometheus from his torment. A magical bow-like weapon, Typhon's Bane allows Kratos to fire gusts of wind instead of arrows. It can be leveled up as well, increasing its power and to gain new abilities.

Trivia Edit

• Before God of War II's release, it was an Unnamed Wind Magic in place of being called Typhon's Bane.
• There is a glitch with Typhon's Bane that gives Kratos a brief window of invulnerability after drawing the bow. This can be used tactically to avoid heavy hits and, if perfectly timed, the ability to never get hit. This is also the case with the Head of Euryale.
• Some instances in the God of War community have reported using Lethal Vortex during certain boss fights, including Theseus, Mole Cerberus and Lahkesis, will cause the game to freeze and crash.
