perhaps Athens will survive at that careful I don't want you dying before I'm done with this grave grave in the middle of a battle who will occupy it old man you will my son oh I've got a lot of digging to do indeed all will be revealed in good time and when all appears to be lost Kratos I will be there to help me Harley Kratos I'm slipping you must get here quickly I can help you we can save Athens but you must hurry thank you and with that act Kratos said in motion the events
that would lead to his downfall Kratos as Athena herself has foretold but you are late perhaps too late to save Athens or is it Athens you have come to save and when the Oracle looked into his soul she saw a beast as well as a man once a captain in the Spartan Army Kratos had begun his command with only 50 soldiers but soon his numbers grew to the thousands [Applause] brutal but effective drunk with power he was feared by all except one his wife was the only one to Brave his Fury how much is enough
Kratos when will it end when the Glorious Sparta is known throughout the world the glory of Sparta you did this for yourself his desire for conquests knew no bounds but that which he desired would ultimately consume him why would Athena send one such as you head choose your enemies wisely Kratos your brute strength alone will not be enough to destroy Ares only one item in the world will allow you to defeat a god Pandora's Box which lies far beyond the walls of Athens hidden by the gods across the desert to the east but be warn
Kratos many have gone in search of Pandora's Box none have returned Kratos the journey forward is perilous but one you must complete if you are to have any hope of saving Athens the Oracle spoke of Pandora's Box can it be real the Box exists it is the most powerful weapon a mortal can wield and with such a weapon with the Box many things become possible and so it is hidden well far across the desert of Lost Souls there is safe Passage through the deadly Sands but only those who hear and follow the siren song will
Discover it you must find the sirens Kratos only they can guide you to Kronos the Titan a Titan lives Kronos is the last Zeus has commanded him to wander the desert endlessly the Temple of Pandora chained to his back until the swirling Sands ripped the very flesh from his bones stay true to the song of the siren Kratos your Journey Begins here pray it leads you back to Athens with Pandora's Box foreign [Music] Chronos the last of the mighty Titans emerged from the desert sands on his back Pandora's Temple awaited massive and patient ready to
challenge all who went in search of its guarded treasure thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] Kratos climbed the sheer walls of the mountain he knew he would either recover Pandora's box or perish inside the cursed Temple never to return to the world of man [Applause] [Music] [Music] so you think you can conquer the Temple of the gods do you it's never been done you know sooner or later the harpies will bring what's left of you back for me to burn the gods hid Pandora's Box in here so no mortal would ever claim its power and
yet year after year I open the gate for more and more soldiers and place more and more bodies on these pyres if I were you I'd leave now but I can see you are determined very well May the gods Grant you strength to conquer the perils that lay before you good luck Spartan [Music] Artemis Kratos the gods demand more of you you have learned to use the blades of chaos well but they alone will not carry you to the end of your task I offer you the very blade I used to slay a Titan take
this gift and use it to complete your quest take this weapon Kratos take this power and use it to defeat your enemies [Music] go with the gods Kratos go forth in the name of Olympus the wrecked bodies of those who had gone in search of Pandora's Box lay before him and at once Kratos knew who was responsible for this was not the first time he'd seen the ruined Aries and his minions had left in their wake Kratos had experienced it firsthand years before the youngest and oldest captain in the Spartan Army Kratos inspired Fierce loyalty
in his men it had always been enough to carry them through any battle until this day barbarians to the east numbered in the thousands and descended on the Spartans without Mercy the battle lasted in your hours [Music] the discipline and training of the Spartans did little of the stem the tide the merciless barbarians [Music] the soldiers faced a massacre while their young Captain faced the end of His Brilliant career and his life but to Kratos victory was worth any price even his soul s destroy my enemies and my life is yours that desperate call for
Aid will come to haunt Kratos for all his days by the Gods what have I become thank the gods you've come break these bombs get me out of here what are you waiting for let me out we can find our way back to Athens the gods demand sacrifice from all of us no no no no oh [Applause] my God foreign Lord Hades your progress is impressive craters but your skills will not carry you to your ultimate goal I offer you the sounds of Hades itself The Souls of the Dead who sound ready to fight by
your side take this weapon greatest take this power your progress is impressive Kratos but be warned once you were sent to the upper levels of the temple you will not be able to return without Pandora's Box [Music] as Kratos Rose through the massive template constructed to guard Pandora's Box he realized it was a monument not only to regards of Olympus but of The Madness of the world he conquered the lower floors in Pandora's Temple but what lay and wait above would test even the Great [Music] [Music] [Music] Kratos had been in service to the guards
long enough to know the harpy had been sent as a warning a reminder from his former Master of the decision that had cost Kratos everything had it been that long since he'd almost met his end at the hands of The Barbarians at long since he traded everything to save himself the skies split apart and the God of War stepped through ascending from Olympus he saw the makings of a God in a mere mortal Ares would save Kratos he would turn him into the perfect Warrior his servant on Earth only a simple pledge of loyalty was
required my life is yours Aries from this day I shall carry forth your will and his fate was sealed as promised Ares rescued his new disciples bringing forth the power of a god destroying those who would Slaughter Kratos and his men know me a sword and shield would befit the newest servant of the God of War it's of Chaos forged in the fouled as depths of Hades once attached the chains remained so Chained and seared to the flesh a part of the bearer's body a permanent reminder of kratos's pledge in return ultimate power The Rage
of Aries exploded from within soon he would learn the true cost of such power a course too high even for Kratos to pay [Music] ratchet Beast I know who it is you serve return to your master tell the God of War I am his no longer tell him he is not safe while I walk the earth I will find Pandora's Box and I will use it to see him tremble and fall before me the path before Kratos was clear but still the memories came rushing back as familiar and permanent as the blades changed his wrists
memories of what he'd done in the name of aerys memories of how he become a servant to the God of War a beast his Humanity robbed and replaced only with the will to murder no one was safe entire armies fell before Kratos and the soldiers who followed him on his unending path of Conquest all in the name of his master those who offered resistance of any kind were dealt with quickly they've built this Temple to offer prayers to Athena this entire Village stands as an affront to Lord Ares burn this Village back to the ground
emboldened by the God of War kratos's Army was useless feared throughout the world for their brutality all that mattered was Conquest in the name of Kratos their great leader who had become near Invincible he feared nothing but there was something about this Temple something forbidden all his instincts told him he should never cross its threshold never step inside beware Kratos the dangers in the temple are greater than you know but the village oracle's warning fell on deaf ears his ambition would not be denied oh [Music] in that instant the glory he had reveled in turned
to horror the image of his two final victims would stay with him for all his days with that act Kratos knew he could no longer serve his master he had but one calling now the death of Aries he would murder the God of War you will die for what you did that night [Music] Kratos your quest is at an end you are the first mortal to ever reach Pandora's Box there is still time to save Athens you must bring the box back to my city and use it to kill Ares return to Athens Kratos return
and save my city [Music] you must bring Pandora's Box back to Athens Kratos you cannot defeat Ares without it after a thousand years Pandora's Box was at last freed of its confines Kratos had found the means to destroy the God of War far away in Athens Aries knew Kratos had succeeded in his quest so little Spartan you've recovered Zeus's precious box but you will not live long enough to see it opened I will see to that goodbye Spartan you will rot in the depths of Hades for all eternity as the life began to leave Kratos
his thoughts returned to that fateful night even in death the memories the Visions would not fade for how could he forget spilling the blood of his own family cruel trick orchestrated by the God of War my wife [Music] how they were left inspired you are becoming all I'd hoped you'd be Kratos with your wife and child dead nothing will hold you back you'll become even stronger you will become death itself it is the Flames consume the temple Kratos realized his true enemy was The God Who once saved his life the same God who had now
taken everything from him Aries from this night forward the mark of your terrible deed will be visible to all the ashes of your wife and child will remain fastened to your skin never to be removed and with that curse all would know him for the Beast he had become his skin white with the ash of his dead family Ghost of Sparta had been born land in death he had failed as the minions of Aries claimed Pandora's Box kratos's life faded and his cursed Soul was cast into the fires of Hades and Kratos fell into the
younger world the river sticks beckoning below currents strong enough to carry even the strongest mortal to his eternal resting place but Kratos had no intention of resting yet he intended to live to return to Earth and complete his quest let's go forth you won't drag me down to that cursed River there is a task left for both I will see it completed you again [Applause] ah Kratos and not a moment too soon I only finished digging just a moment ago who are you now that is an interesting question but for now you must hurry Athens
need you but how did you know I'm Athena isn't the only God keeping watch on you Spartan complete your task Kratos and the guards will forgive your sins Kratos had traversed the desert of lost souls bested the deadly traps of Pandora's Temple and escaped Hades itself there was but one task left Zeus do you see now what your son can do you cast your favor on Athena but her city lies in Ruins before me and now even Pandora's Box is mine would you have me use it against Olympus itself Kratos returned even from the underworld
best you can do father send a pro mortal to defeat me the God of War thank you [Music] after thousands of years Pandora's Box was finally open power of the Gods Unleashed [Music] [Applause] just a mortal every bit as weak as the day you beg me to save your life I am not the same man you found that day the monster you've created has returned you have no idea what a true monster is Kratos [Music] your final lesson is at hand I have taught you many ways to kill Immortal craters flesh that burns bones that
break but to break a man's spirit is to truly destroy him do you recognize this place Spartan the location of your greatest failure perhaps there is a chance you can undo the Deeds of the past the nightmares that had haunted Kratos for the past 10 years had now taken form and substance [Music] past stood before him [Music] Kratos what's happening where are we by the Gods can this be real [Music] Daddy Aries there is nothing you can put in my way to stop me I will save my family great toes please take us home do
you see God of War you took them once but you'll never have them again you cannot save them Kratos you gave them up in your quest for ultimate power there is a price to pay for everything you gain not that price I didn't want them to die no price is too high for what I offered her and you rejected me oh God now it will have no power no magic all that is left for you is death oh not not again you should have joined me Kratos Island s the battle was not over the guards
it seemed had a final gift for Kratos [Applause] now you will see how strong I am I remember Kratos it was I who saved you in your time of greatest need I haven't forgotten Aries I remember how you saved me that night I was trying to make you a great warrior you succeeded oh Kratos had done me impossible Immortal defeating a god Ares was no more the city had been saved and would Thrive again the same could not be said for creative crater for as he sought to rebuild his soul with the help of the
Gods the truth was revealed to him read me of the memories that haunt me still you have done well Kratos though we mourn the death of our brother the gods are indebted to you we promised your sins would be forgiven and so they are but we never promised to take away your nightmares no man no God could ever forget the terrible Deeds you have done in the end knowing the visions of his past would never leave him Kratos made his way to the Bluffs overlooking the Aegean Sea the gods of Olympus have abandoned me now
there is no hope [Music] and Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece after 10 years of suffering 10 years of endless nightmares it would finally come to an end death would be his escape from Madness the fate of Kratos was not as it seemed the guards had other plans born Aloft like a feather Kratos found himself risen from the sea and placed on solid earth you will not die this day Kratos the gods cannot allow one who has performed such service to perish by his own hand Barry's tactics were brutal his
path of Destruction had to be stopped now there is an empty throne in Olympus God of War is take these stairs Kratos they lead to your ultimate reward from that point forward throughout the rest of time whenever men rode forth to battle for good cause or for evil they did so under the watchful eye of the man who had defeated a god they were driven forward by Kratos the Mortal who had become the new God of War [Music]
