The Divine Pools
At the end of the chain, get onto the climbable wall in front of you, destroy the portion of wall blocking your path and then climb up onto the walkway. There is a save altar at the end of the walkway that you can use to save your progress. From the save altar, enter the area beyond the walkway and jump up the waterfall on the right side of the area. Get to the high rock on the far left that has a torch on it. From there, jump over to the ledge on the left and follow it to a climbable wall.
GORGON EYE (10/37): Move straight across the wall, over the gap, and onto a stone balcony. Move to the other end of the balcony to find an unmarked chest. The Gorgon Eye is inside this chest.

PHOENIX FEATHER (6/30): Slide down the wall to the lower ridge. At the bottom, turn right and slide down the wall there. When you reach the end, follow the wall around to the rock ceiling. Sling across the ceiling to a large, breakable rock wall. Slash the rock wall until it crumbles. The Phoenix Feather is inside the unmarked chest behind the boulder.

On the lower ridge, turn left and kick in the giant door around the corner. Drop down from the right side of the bridge up ahead.
PHOENIX FEATHER (7/30): On the bottom level, turn around and walk under the platform. The Phoenix Feather is inside the unmarked chest on the right end of the dais.

GORGON EYE (11/37): From the Phoenix Feather's location, follow the dais to the left end. You'll encounter an unmarked chest containing the Gorgon Eye along the way.

Below the bridge, move around to the back of the plant display in the middle of the fountain, then grab hold of it and pull it back. Dive down into the underwater tunnel that was being covered by the plant display. Hold R1 to charge and smash through the obstacle, following the underwater tunnel to its end. Approach the statue at the end of the room and press R1. Kratos retrieves the �Amulet of the Fates� from the statue. Swim back through the underwater tunnel and return to the main room.

Amulet of the Fates
|
Stand on the push button directly across from the Fates Statue. When you stand on this button, the platforms on both sides of the rooms are raise. However, when you step off of the button, the platforms are lowered. While standing on the button, press the L1 and R1 buttons at the same time to use the Amulet of the Fates. The Amulet slows down time, allowing you to make it up the raised platforms on either side of the room. The yellow meter below your health and magic bar displays the amount of time left until time returns to normal. While the Amulet is activated, jump up onto one of the platforms and get back onto the bridge above.
GORGON EYE (12/37): While standing on the button directly across from the Fates Statue, wait until the platforms are raised then activate the Amulet of the Fates and run towards the platforms on the right side. Once you are on the top platform, turn right and jump towards the wall. Smash the wall to destroy it, revealing an unmarked chest that contains a Gorgon Eye.

Run back to the entrance and stand on the push button just before the bridge. While standing on the button, the statue in the distance lowers its two hands. Wait until the statue's hands are completely lowered, then activate the Amulet of the Fates and run into the statue's open hands to trigger a cutscene. When you have regained control over Kratos, slash what is left of the statue's head to knock it out, creating an exit.

PHOENIX FEATHER (8/30): Once the statue's head has been broken off, drop down onto the walkway below. Follow the walkway along to the left. There is an unmarked chest containing a Phoenix Feather at the end.

Jump through the exit created by the statue's head and drop down to the area below. Outside, you will face a couple of Wraiths. These guys can be tough as they can block most of your attacks and their own attacks are quite damaging. Luckily you don't have to fight them when they're at their best. Use the Amulet of the Fates to slow down time, giving you a huge advantage against the Wraiths. If time returns to normal before you are able to kill both of the Wraiths, simply use the Amulet to slow it down again.
You can afford to use heavy attacks while you are moving faster than your enemies. Stand in front of a Wraith and use �Spirit of Hercules� (Triangle, Triangle, Triangle), you should be able to lock them into a combo this way. When you have killed one Wraith, another appears, accompanied by a few Bats. You'll need to kill about four Wraiths until they stop spawning. Once enemies stop spawning, slash the statue head until it crumbles.

Destiny's Atrium
Drop down from the bridge to the area below. A Cyclops and a couple of Boars immediately spawn. The Boars are there to both annoy you and to be used as projectiles by the Cyclops. The Cyclops' physical attacks are quite harmful but he is very slow, therefore his attacks are easy to dodge. If the Cyclops is about to strike you, simply roll out of the way, then start slashing him. Normal attacks are preferable since they can be executed much faster than heavy attacks, allowing you to get a few hits in, and then quickly roll out of the way to avoid the Cyclops' retaliation. However if you can manage to get behind the Cyclops, you may as well throw some heavy attacks in there.
You can use the Boars to fill the Rage of the Titans meter. Simply get close enough and grab one, Kratos will automatically kill the Boar which subsequently releases a number of Gold Orbs. You can also gain some Green Orbs from a stunned Cyclops. Approach the stunned Cyclops and press the Circle button to deal some damage and receive Red and Green Orbs. Once you've killed the first Cyclops, two more enter the area. You're going to have to fight both of them at once. Rage of the Titans would come in handy right about now.
Once you have killed both of the Cyclops, climb up the shorter ladder that is along the left wall (that would be the left wall while you're facing the giant statue). Turn left and pull out the shield-holding statue from the crevice. Drag this statue over to the small indent along the bridge. The shield the statue deflects the energy protruding from the statue's eye. Head over to the statue at the opposite end of the bridge. Pull the lever in the small crevice on the left side of the tiled floor to lower the lift. Drag the statue and place it on the lift and then pull the lever again. Jump up and climb onto the lift, then get behind the statue and hold X to charge a kick. When the kick is fully charged, release the X button and Kratos will kick the statue over the tiled floor.

Place the second statue into the indent on the bridge. With the two statues in place, the statue head is destroyed and the barrier below is removed, allowing you to progress. Drop back down to the lower area. Use the save altar to record your progress if you wish, then start down the trail.
