< 2 - INTRODUCTION > [ CG02 ]
\================/
Greetings, Spartans! Do you desire great strength? Do you wish to raise your
health to its peak as quickly as possible? Do you need a boost of magic power?
Then you've come to the right place! This guide was designed to lead you to
each and every chest in the conflict known as God of War II. Follow these
simple instructions and you'll be as powerful as a titan in no time!
This guide gives detailed locations of all the chests that contain red orbs,
Gorgon Eyes, Phoenix Feathers, the three "gift" chests, and four of the six
Urns (the other two Urns are not found within the main game, hence their
exclusion). Regular green/health, blue/magic, and yellow/Rage of the Titans
chests are not covered because, quite frankly, they're all so obvious you'd
have to be playing with your eyes closed to miss any of 'em!
Of course, it's not necessary to find all these chests in order to complete the
game, but why wait till Bonus Play to max out your health and magic meters or
the power of your weapons and magic spells when you can do it the first time
through, eh?
Let's get started!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

/============================\
< 3 - UNDERSTANDING THIS GUIDE > [ CG03 ]
\============================/
< CHEST TYPES >
-> RD: Denotes a chest with a red "glow" on the outside, which contains red
orbs on the inside, used to increase the power and/or skills of your
various weapons and magic abilities. Some chests containing red orbs *do
not* have the standard red glow on the outside, but instead are just a
plain looking grey chest. These grey chests *with* red orbs are more
common in the later half of the game after you've acquired all of the
Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers. Some red orb chests also give small
amounts of blue/magic or yellow/Rage of the Titans orbs as well.
-> xRD: Denotes a regular grey chest which contains red orbs. However, if you
don't collect all of the Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers at the
earliest opportunity, they may still be found in some of these chests.
-> GE: Denotes a normal grey colored chest which contains a Gorgon Eye. This
type has no "glow" to it like the red orb chests, or the green and blue
chests with health and magic refills. There are a total of 18 Gorgon
Eyes in one new game. Every six you collect permanently increase the
health/life meter of Kratos by a small amount. If you miss any Gorgon
Eyes they can not only be found in other chests later in the same game,
but they'll also appear in chests in a Bonus Play game. So, if you only
get 15 on your first playthrough on normal, when you start a Bonus Play
game on the same difficulty, the other 3 will continue to spawn in the
grey chests till you have all 18. Get it? Good!
-> PF: Denotes a normal grey colored chest which contains a Phoenix Feather.
Like the chests with Gorgon Eyes, these do not glow either. There are
a total of 18 Phoenix Feathers in one new game, and like the GE's, every
six you collect permanently increase the magic meter of Kratos by a
small amount. Again, if you miss any they'll continue to spawn in the
grey chests later in that same playthrough and in Bonus Play till you've
found all 18.
-> URN OF X: Denotes a normal grey colored chest which contains one of four
different urns available in the main game. Like the GE and PF chests,
these do not glow. Each of the four urns can only be found in one
specific chest. If you miss one of them during one playthrough you can
get it the next time around in Bonus Play at the same location.
-> GIFT OF X: Denotes a chest which contains one of three "gifts", health/life,
magic, and experience. The health and magic gifts give Kratos a small
permanent increase to the respective meter, while the gift of experience
rewards you with a whole bunch of red orbs. Each of the three is only
available in one specific location and they can be found in a subsequent
playthrough if you miss them on the previous game.
-> Green/Blue/Yellow chests: As stated in the intro, these chests, containing
orbs that refill your health, magic, and Rage of the Titans meters, are
not listed in this guide due to the fact that they are generally all
right out in the open and almost in your way (not to mention that there
are a hell of a lot of 'em). If I were to list all of these chests as
well, the guide would be unnecessarily long.
*Note: During Bonus Play, if you collected all of the GE's and PF's on your
previous playthrough, some of those chests which were just a plain grey
color before will now glow red instead (and some don't; go figure).
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
< LOCATION GROUPINGS >
1. XX ~ Denotes one chest at this location.
2. XX ~
3. XX ~
4. XX ~ When two or more chests are listed in this manner, it doesn't mean I
forgot to tell you where the first one (or two) is/are, instead it
means said chests can all be found together in the same location, or at
least within close proximity of each other.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
< LOCATION DESCRIPTION >
-> Each section of the guide is broken down into the main areas of the game in
which the chests can be found. Subsections, listed in parenthesis, are named
according to the nearest (usually the previous, sometimes the next) save
point in order to help narrow down the specific location of a chest. If you
don't know the name of the subsection of your current position, find a save
point, save your game, resume, then choose the save option again. The game
will list the name of the subsection on the file you just saved.
-> In some instances I used north, south, east or west to describe which way
you should go/look to find a chest. North always means up/forward, south
always means down/toward the screen, east always means right, and west
always means left. Unfortunately, the camera sometimes shifts a bit as you
move around, thus going east can sometimes suddenly mean going north. Know
what I mean? Eh, don't worry though. This doesn't happen very often, so you
shouldn't have any trouble understanding my directions.

enemies into the fire to melt the ice on all four chests.
(Fire of Olympus)
23. GE ~
24. RD ~ As soon as you exit the tunnel, don't swing across the gap. Instead

swing across to find these two chests.
25. RD ~
26. GE ~

on the opposite side of the ladder and green chest.
38. GE ~
39. RD ~ In the round chamber with the giant chain hanging above, and where you
encounter your first Siren Widow, jump onto the small ledge on the
wall where the lower part of the large chain is. Jump onto the chain

front of the green switch (not the group of colored levers) and down a
few steps.
(The Divine Pools)
48. RD ~ Hidden behind a breakable wall in the small room with the waterfalls,
after returning from the Steeds. Go straight ahead and destroy the

52. GE ~ On the same ledge and just around the corner to the left of the
previous two chests.

with Euryale's Key.
(The Ruins of the Forgotten)
64. PF ~
65. RD ~ Around the bend in the hallway after pulling the block out near the
tilting platform you'll see a crate on the ground and another hanging
from above over it. Jump on the crate on the ground and use a blast or
two of Cronos' Rage to break the hanging crate and release the chest.
Then smash open the crate on the ground to reveal the other chest.
66. RD ~ Go left where the path splits just a bit after the previous two
chests and proceed to the end of the pathway.
67. GE ~

ladder up to a small ledge. Climb it, hop on the rope and shimmy
across (watch out for the baddies) to reach the chests.
69. RD ~ After "rocking" the pillar and toppling it, climb up and check the
nook on your immediate left to find the chest hidden here out of
sight.
70. GE ~
71. RD ~ After "rocking" the pillar and toppling it, climb up and run forward
a bit and you'll see a blue chest on the right. Stop at the edge of
the ledge for a moment. Before jumping down into the circular room,
use Typhon's Bane and destroy the stuff on the far wall to the right
(at about the 1 o'clock position) inside said circular room to reveal
a grapple point. Jump forward and latch on to it to land on the ledge
with the chests.
72. RD ~ After climbing along a rope you'll come to a large spinning wheel that
you can only cross after slowing time using the nearby Fates statue.
Do so and proceed forward to a ledge where you can see a green health
chest. Hang from the ledge and shimmy along it to the right till you
see a small break in the wall, just over a spinning spiked wheel
below. At the break, pull up onto the ledge to find the chest hidden
on the right.
(River of the Forgotten)
73. PF ~
74. RD ~ After toppling the building into the swamp proceed across its roof,
climb onto the wall and head across into a tunnel. After (or before,
if you wish) talking to the dying soldier and placing him on the
conveyor belt to break the spiked wheel, head on past the conveyor
into the right corner to find these two chests.
75. GE ~ After defeating the Cerberus and getting the Golden Fleece, head back
through the tunnel the way you came in. On your left you'll notice the
large stone wheel has now stopped spinning. Destroy it and enter the
small passage to find the chest at the end.
76. PF ~
77. URN OF THE GORGONS ~ [ URN2 ]
78. GE ~ After getting the Golden Fleece and before entering Euryale's Temple,
return to the conveyor belt with all the gorgon beams flashing on it
(in the area after where you fought the Rock Minotaur). Press L1 to
deflect the gorgon beams, which will break open one of three separate
sections of the wall, revealing a chest hidden in each nook. The
middle one contains the chest with the Urn of the Gorgons.
*If you didn't miss any, this is the 18th and final Gorgon Eye, and
with it, the final Health upgrade (except for the one gained from
the Gift of Health, which comes later).
(The Temple of Euryale)
79. RD ~ In a section of wall already broken open, with a beam of light shining
on it, just after exiting the previous large chamber you were briefly
trapped in while fighting a horde of enemies, some of which were
already petrified.
80. PF ~ Hidden behind the seal on the wall at the base of the elevator shaft.
*Feather #12, time for another Magic upgrade.
81. RD ~ Crank the elevator down just enough to squeeze Kratos out under the
gate surrounding it and enter the opening at the base of the elevator
platform to find this chest hidden inside.
(Euryale's Defeat)
82. RD ~ In the chamber sectioned off into smaller rooms surrounded by water
with the pillars you must raise, destroy the wall on the platform of
the third pillar (the one with red lights on the ground).
83. RD ~
84. RD ~ In the same watery area as chest #80, head into the passage opposite
of the pillar surrounded by yellow lights and climb the ladder. Both
chests are towards the front of the screen, directly behind Kratos
when he reaches the top of the ladder.
85. RD ~
86. PF ~ Still in the same watery area as the 3 previous chests, after raising
all of the pillars, slow time and grapple/swing from one pillar to the
next. While on the fifth pillar, instead of jumping off straight ahead
toward the exit, jump off to your right to land on the platform with
these two chests.
87. PF ~
88. RD ~ After reaching the bottom of the shaft in which the ceiling tries to
crush you and a bunch of dogs attack you'll come to a section of the
tunnel with no floor and some beams you must balance on to get across.
Cross the beams and shimmy along the wall. Upon reaching the other
side you'll see a rope hanging from above right nearby. Jump onto it
and climb up to find these two hidden on the upper ledge.
(Destiny's Atrium)
89. GIFT OF EXPERIENCE ~ [ GFTE ]
90. RD ~ After ascending a spiral staircase you'll find yourself back in
Destiny's Atrium. Head to your left and return to the swamplands to
the spot where the Barbarian King first attacked Kratos to find these
chests. The larger chest on the left contains the Gift of Experience,
which rewards Kratos with a TON of red orbs!
91. RD ~
92. RD ~ Shortly after leaving Destiny's Atrium you'll come across an area with
some waterfalls and a few grapple points. On the second platform after
the first grapple, climb the wall to find these two up top.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
/=======================\
< 8 - THE HALL OF ATROPOS > [ CG08 ]
\=======================/
(Courtyard of Atropos)
93. RD ~ After raising a platform and placing a small pillar under it to hold
it up, you'll find this chest right around the corner by a ladder.
94. RD ~ In the room with a small pool of water and two Satyr Champions, pull
the block out from the doorway (do not push it forward yet) and jump
up on it to reach this chest.
95. PF ~ In the outer area with the giant face shooting beams from its eyes,
climb to the upper balcony, cross the beam in front of the face and
head to the left when you see the green chest in front of you.
(The Edge of Creation)
96. PF ~ Grapple along the side of the building and stand on the button to make
the tree roots extend, then slow time. Run out to the central land
mass and drop down to a small ledge between the two trees for this
chest.
97. PF ~
98. URN OF OLYMPUS ~ [ URN3 ]
99. RD ~ After getting the Spear of Destiny, push the Fates statue into the
hallway and park it at the edge of the path by the water. Swim across
to the other side and climb out. Slow time and quickly grapple across
the gap. See the statue of the man at the corner holding the sword
and pointing? Head around that corner and run forward over the
pressure plate on the floor. With time slowed down, the pressure plate
won't activate the gate, which will allow you to get into the small
room with the three chests. The middle one contains the Urn.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
/=========\
< 9 - ATLAS > [ CG09 ]
\=========/
(The Face of Atlas)
100. RD ~
101. PF ~ After landing at Atlas' face and gliding across the platforms you'll
come to a chamber with a couple of Satyr Champions and Harpy's
waiting to be disposed of. Once done with them, attack the "tendrils"
that are holding the block in place (or is it some weird giant piece
of flesh?), pull it out and place it against the wall on your left.
Climb on the block and jump to the upper ledge to find the chests.
*Assuming you haven't missed any, this is Phoenix Feather #18, giving
Kratos his final magic meter upgrade.
102. xRD ~
103. xRD ~ After defeating the Titan Minotaur, jump to the upper ledge to exit
the chamber, and from there glide down to the left (don't land in
the lava! or is it blood? whatever...)
(Inside the Mighty Titan)
104. RD ~ After riding on a rock across some lava and grappling across the
chasm you'll be in a chamber with a stone sticking out of the ground
right in front of Kratos, which when destroyed reveals a vent so you
can glide, and a small pit below. Jump down into the pit and destroy
the left part of the wall when facing forward. If you are standing
under the torch facing that wall, turn to your right 90 degrees.
That's your target.
105. URN OF PROMETHEUS ~ [ URN4 ]
106. RD ~ After the room with all the bugs and nests where you must scale the
walls and ceiling, you'll come to another part, sort of outside,
where you must scale along the ceiling again. There's a stalactite
hanging from above which will reveal an opening when destroyed. Climb
up into this opening to find the chests. The one on the left holds
the Urn.
(Ascension of Atlas)
107. RD ~ After gliding across a couple platforms and sliding down a chain to
Atlas' hand you'll land right by a save point and the chest.
108. RD ~ In the area where you place one rock on top of another via the help
of a ramp, upon reaching the ledge where you see the nearby green
chest, jump to the back wall kinda to the left and grab onto the
climbable surface. Head to your left to find the chest on a small
ledge.
(The Great Chasm)
109. RD ~ Immediately after the save point glide over to the first ledge, then
glide to the back of the tall ledge on the left. Climb to the top to
find the chest.

< 10 - THE PALACE OF THE FATES > [ CG10 ]
\============================/
110. RD ~
111. RD ~
112. RD ~
113. RD ~ These can all be found in the small side rooms of the large chamber
with the spiked floor and rotating gate. The best thing to do is just
wait for the open section of gate to be in front of the room with the
block and pull it out to stop all the traps. Upon doing so, all the
side rooms will be open for you to pillage. Much safer than trying to
open the chests before the spiked walls in each room close in on you.
114. RD ~ On the left side of the hallway where the circular floor pattern is,
across from a blue chest, and just beyond the previous spike-trap
room.
115. RD ~ In a nook on the ledge where you land after turning off the flame
shooting from the wall and slowing time.
116. RD ~ Straight ahead and against the far wall after getting out of the trap
with the two spiked walls that slowly close in on Kratos while
fighting a bunch of enemies.
(The Garden of the Gods)
117. RD ~
118. RD ~ In the small round room with the statues of the gods, these two
chests can be found in the lower left corner, at the 7 and 8 o'clock
position from your perspective.
119. RD ~
120. RD ~ After the room with the statues is a hallway in which you must shimmy
along the wall. While doing so you will see the two chests in front
of Kratos, but behind a gate. Continue along one more section to the
right, drop down from the ledge to a floor and proceed forward, up
the ladder, then to the left to get to the chests.
(Sacrifice to the Fates)
121. RD ~
122. RD ~ After taking a swim in what seems like blood, look directly behind
Kratos, towards the front of your screen, for these two chests.
123. RD ~
124. xRD ~
125. RD ~
126. RD ~ In the round glowing room with all the ice, use the phoenix statue in
the middle of the room to melt the ice walls blocking the nooks that
contain each of these chests.
(The West Auditorium)
127. RD ~
128. xRD ~
129. RD ~
130. RD ~
131. RD ~ After the round room where you fight some Cerberus's you'll climb a
ladder and find a save point. Glide across to the ledge on the right
to find the first chest, then head slightly north for the next two.
While still up on that ledge, drop down to the floor on the left,
landing in the fenced-in area for the last two chests.
(Auditorium of Atropos)
132. GIFT OF HEALTH ~ [ GFTH ]
Just a bit past the previous save point you'll find a Fates statue. Push
it all the way to the right/forward to a gate and park it at the right end
against said gate. This will trigger a cutscene where a man jumps off the
ledge outside. Pull the lever on the left and immediately push the statue
under the gate to keep it from closing. Run through the mirror on the left
in the next room and you'll emerge in front of the gate. Immediately slow
time and run back to the nook where the statue originally was. You must
get there before you hear the man jump off the ledge again. When done
correctly the chest with the Gift of Health will have materialized. Open
it to receive a health meter upgrade (your last if you collected all of
the Gorgon Eyes).
133. RD ~ After dealing with the translator you'll come to a spot with a vent
on the ground. Glide up to the ledge, pull the lever to open the vent
further, and glide up to the ceiling. As you pass by the broken arch
take a short right towards the back wall and drop down onto the small
ledge to find this chest.
(Entrance to the Underground)
134. RD ~
135. RD ~ Upon exiting the elevator shaft with the spiked ceiling and all the
skeletons, these two chests will be at the front of your screen,
right before the stairs.
136. RD ~ In the lava-filled room, after you shimmy across the rope, climb up
on the wall, then the ceiling and proceed around to the opposite side
of that section of wall to find it hollowed out. The chest is on the
small ledge in here.
137. GIFT OF MAGIC ~ [ GFTM ]
138. RD ~ Upon descending from the ceiling just after getting the previous
chest, you'll fight a few enemies, then look around the corner to see
some steam rising and a glowing disc on the wall right in front of
Kratos. Use Typhon's Bane to shoot the disc and destroy the wall.
Glide over to get the red orb chest and the Gift of Magic. If you've
already collected all of the Phoenix Feathers, this will be your
final magic meter upgrade.
*Here's a helpful tip: destroy the wall to the right of the Gift of
Magic to find a lever to pull which will retract the spikes on the
rotating columns just ahead!
139. RD ~ In the same area as the two previous chests, as you glide over the
lava and around the second column, look for a ledge on the right
where this chest lies.
(The Phoenix Chamber)
140. RD ~ Glide to the lower set of stairs to the left of the platform where
the save point is in the Phoenix Chamber to find this chest.
141. RD ~
142. RD ~ Taking the left path out of the main area of the Phoenix Chamber, the
next room has a spiked floor. Pull the lever and run up to the wall
on the left. Destroy it and run back to the lever, lest you get
impaled. Take care of the two enemies, then pull the lever again and
slow time. Run to and open one chest, run back, let the spikes pop,
pull the lever again, slow time, then run to and open the second
chest.
143. RD ~
144. RD ~
145. RD ~ After getting past the spiked floor room you'll see the next three
chests behind some bars in the hallway. Continue around the hall to
the right, jump and grab onto the wall on the right, then jump
backwards to the left side of the hall. Hop over the ledge to get the
chests.
146. RD ~
147. RD ~
148. RD ~ In the room where a phoenix sends a wall of flame at you, two chests
can be found behind a gate on the right. Push the statue till it's in
front of the lever towards the front of the room in order to deflect
the fire so you can open the gate and get to the chests. The other is
behind a gate on the left, with a blue chest. This one may require
you to have the statue right nearby as you lift the gate, so as not
to get hit by the fire.
149. RD ~
150. RD ~ One chest is at the far right end of the upper stairway you ascend
after releasing the phoenix, the other is at the far left end.
151. RD ~ After using the Hail of Boreas to lower the door, head into the hall
and take two lefts to find this chest at the end.
152. RD ~ Blow the horn to free the phoenix, then glide across the pillars to
reach a new room. You can see the chest behind a gate, so pull the
lever, climb up onto the ceiling, and smash the chain over the gate
to open it. Drop down and open the chest.
153. RD ~ After cranking the lever and raising the pillars outside, you'll be
in a small, dark round room. Crank the lever around so the opening of
the gate is on the right, at the 3 o'clock position, then enter the
nook and open the chest.
154. RD ~
155. RD ~ On the platform with the Phoenix, after defeating the Kraken.

< 11 - THE TEMPLE OF THE FATES > [ CG11 ]
\============================/
156. RD ~
157. RD ~
158. xRD ~
159. RD ~
160. RD ~
161. RD ~ The first three are on the right side of the room and the second
three on the left. Grapple up to the central platform and smash the
crystal to restore normal time. Jump in the water at the base of the
platform and pull the lever down below. You'll see a short blue lever
sticking out of the base near the surface. Push (or pull) it to move
the large ram platform till it's at about the 6 o'clock position and
slow time immediately. Grapple up to the central platform, jump onto
the ram platform, head to the end of it and jump off and glide over
to reach the ledge in the corner with the chests. After, move the
blue lever till the ram platform is at 6 o'clock again and repeat the
remaining steps to reach the chests on the other side of the room.
This can sometimes be a bit of a pain in the butt, so try not to get
too frustrated if it takes a couple attempts.
162. RD ~
163. RD ~ After passing through the smashed face of the statue of Lahkesis,
head into the immediate left and right corners for each of these
chests.
(The Inner Sanctum)
164. RD ~
165. RD ~ After defeating the two sisters you'll enter a hallway with a save
point on the path. The chests are right under that circular part of
the path where the save is. Jump in the water on the right and left
to access them.
166. RD ~
167. RD ~
168. RD ~
169. RD ~ In the room just after the previous save point, climb up the center
column and make your way along the ceiling, around the pillar, to the
back of the room, and drop off onto the ledge of the upper hall.
Whether you went around the left or right of the pillar while on the
ceiling, surely you saw one of the ledges where the chests are.
Before proceeding into the hallway, jump and glide back to each ledge
on the left and right side of the room. Two chests are on each.
(The Loom Chamber)
170. RD ~ On the second level platform that surrounds Clotho, immediately to
your right after you climb up to this area and the camera pulls out
and pans around, there's a hole in the floor that you need to open
and trap one of Clotho's arms in by closing the hatch on it. Pull the
lever to the right of this hole to open it and jump down inside it to
find the chest (and make sure you beat up the arm so it stops moving
and doesn't smack Kratos).

< 12 - Q & A > [ CG12 ]
\==========/
Q1. Why aren't the green and blue and yellow chests listed? I need to know
where those are!
A1. Because they're all right out in the open and very easy to find. Yeah,
there are a few that are kinda hidden, but they're so plentiful it's pretty
unlikely you'll need to use each and every one or that you won't be able to
find them on your own.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q2. I found a chest you missed. What should I do?
A2. Knowing how well hidden some of these suckers are I wouldn't be surprised
if I missed one or two (though I'm pretty certain I got them all). Should
you come across one I missed, email me with its location and what type of
chest it is. Once I confirm your information, whenever the next update
occurs, I'll add it to the guide and you'll be credited for it.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q3. Er, I don't understand the location you described for chest #xx. Where the
hell is it?
A3. Some locations were tricky to describe without getting too wordy and making
things even more difficult to understand, so I tried to keep it simple. As
long as you're playing the game while using the guide you really shouldn't
have any difficulty finding any of the chests in their respective location.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q4. When I opened chest #xx, red orbs came out but they weren't added to my
total. What's the deal?
A4. You must be playing on the "Titan (Very Hard)" difficulty setting. On Titan
Mode red orbs are only worth 75% of their normal value, so not only will
you get less, but in some instances, despite seeing red orbs exit from the
chest, you may get none. That's right, NONE. This is normal, so don't
freak out and think your game is glitched.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q5. Bah! I missed a chest that had a Gorgon Eye/Phoenix Feather in it. Can I go
back for it?
A5. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You can backtrack to certain areas if you
missed a chest and want to return to it, but sometimes the game erects
blockades, thus preventing you from going back the way you came. Other
times you may have had to jump down from a higher platform to reach a new
area and you can't climb back up in order to go back. As I stated in
section 3, even if you miss a GE or PF, they will appear in other chests
later in the game. It's up to you if you want to backtrack or not (assuming
you *can* go back). You may have a limited opportunity to backtrack for an
Urn you missed as well, but if not, they *do not* appear in other chests
later on. Try not to miss these the first time you're in their respective
areas.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q6. How come you didn't list which of the later grey chests specifically
contain GE's or PF's and just put "xRD" instead? I passed by some of the
earlier ones and now I need a couple more.
A6. Well, the whole point of using this guide is to make sure you *do* get all
of the GE's and PF's as early as possible. If for some reason you didn't
get all of them right away, the "xRD" chests will let you know you can
expect to get an eye or feather should you need another. Maybe in a future
update I'll specify whether a GE or PF is in those xRD chests, but for now
the current format should be plenty reliable.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q7. How come you only list four of the Urns? Where are the other two?
A7. The other two, the Urn of Poseidon and the Urn of the Fates, are not found
within the main game. Instead, after completing the game once you will
unlock the Challenge of the Titans bonus game. Complete CotT with a rank of
Mortal (or better) to unlock the Urn of the Fates, and complete it with a
rank of Spartan (or better) to unlock the Urn of Poseidon.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Q8. Do I get anything special for opening all these chests?
A8. Besides the obvious rewards of red orbs, GE's, PF's, Gifts, and Urns? No.
