Undead Legionnaire
From God of War Wiki
"Foul beasts, I will send you back to the depths of Hades!" - Kratos
Undead Legionnaires are the most common enemies in the God of War series. Dressed in the armor of ancient Greek warriors, they appear as demonic skeletons with bits of decaying flesh clinging to their bones. A frequently encountered enemy, they sometimes come in clusters and are quite varied. Early on they wear little armor and wield short swords, but as the games progress, they begin to appear wielding larger swords and wearing heavier armor and eventually end up wielding massive shields and scythes.
In God of War, the Undead Legionnaires make up Ares' army of the undead. They return in God of War II and appear at spots throughout the Island of Creation, presumably protecting the Sisters of Fate.
Kratos can grab an Undead Legionnaire and then press a certain button to perform one of the following kills:
- Circle + Square = Kratos impales the Legionnaire in the gut with one of his blades and swings it away, which can also damage nearby enemies if it hits.
- Circle + Triangle = Kratos rips the Legionnaire in half with his bare hands.
- Circle + Circle = Kratos punches the Legionnaire several times, throws it to the ground and repeatedly stabs it several times in the head.
- Circle + X = Kratos throws the Legionnaire, which does damage to it as well as any enemies it may hit (God of War II only).
All four of these kills also apply to other types of Legionnaires and Undead Archers.
[edit] Trivia
The "Legionnaire" was actually the name/term for the common soldiers of ancient Rome, but Undead Legionnaires are probably a "zombie"-like version of the soldiers of ancient Greece.
