![]() ![]() They were the heavy-hitters in the franchise. The Cyclops had been a part of the GoW series since the very first game. Another character from history would have also had a bigger role. The engineer wasn’t the only person that was left on the cutting room floor. Before he was turned into a mummified corpse the team at Sony Santa Monica had plans for giving him a cut scene in GoW Ascension. He had engineered the mechanisms that kept the Methana Volcano from erupting, as well as the pumps that made Atlantis the masters of water. We had actually seen the work of Archimedes previously in the Ghost of Sparta. His type of genius wouldn’t be seen for another 1700 years when Leonardo DaVinci was born in another small town in Italy. He discovered formulas for geometry that were still taught to this day. He created new ways to pump water, and grain uphill. He mastered the lever, and perfected compound pulleys for moving heavy objects. He was a world renown philosopher, engineer, inventor, physicist, and mathematician. The first of these was Archimedes.Īrchimedes was born in Syracuse, Italy in 287 B.C. I have a feeling this might have been the case when we look at some of the characters that were planned to have much bigger roles in Ascension, including dialogue. Perhaps it would have visited some of the multiplayer sites. I don’t know if the co-op mode was going to share the story, and locations of the main game. The studio wanted to create a co-op adventure as well. They delivered on both counts, but the third goal for the game was dropped due to time, and budget constraints. They also wanted to create an Online Multiplayer mode. They wanted to create a single player adventure, in the vein of the classic GoW titles. Once the floor lowers, walk to the right side of the dome and the artifact will be sitting out in the open.When I began the portion on God of War Ascension I mentioned that Sony Santa Monica had three goals for the game.

Once at the top, the artifact is in the upper left corner of the platform.Ĭauses your health meter to slowly drain over time, never completely emptying it. 2): When you get back to the furnace after putting the lantern back together, you will have to throw enemies into a furnace to make the elevator you are on continue to go up. Increases the amount of stun dealt to the enemies. It is located in the bottom left hand side of the screen by the blue and green orb chests. The Furnace: The artifact is located in the area that you discover Archimedes body. Kratos automatically wins all context sensitive attacks. The artifact is located at the end of the walk way. Before you get to the health box, this artifact is slightly hidden by the rubble to the right.įorearm of Apollo: After using the stone of Orkos for the first time, Kratos will go up an elevator and then can take a right. From here turn 180 degrees and walk toward the closed door where the magic and health box is, NOT the open gate. Kratos will dispel the illusion by kicking the trickster Fury and be looking out over a cliff on Hectatochiles. 2): Found after Alectos (the Fury) plays an illusion of Kratos being honored in a ceremony. there will be a flashing beacon on the floor near the other half of that ships hull, grab it.Ĭauses health meter to increase over time. There will be half of a ships hull on the left. There will be a gap on the floor which Kratos can swim down. The Grotto: In the second area where Kratos can dive in the water. Jump from the chandelier to the hour glass and right in front of the mural of Aletheia will be this artifact. The Ice Caverns: Once you have all three snakes hooked up and you can step back into the tower, descend the spiral staircase rather than ascend and you will come across the Oracle Seeker's Offering.ĭelphi Catacombs: In the area with the hour glass. Kratos collects ten times the amount of red orbs. He can climb a wall and go in a second floor door Bonus: Phoenix Feather Located right next to Circe's Vial. The Village of Kirra: In the right part of the area where Kratos can move the cage. This artifact is located in the cell that opens after pulling the lever. The Sewer: Once you ascend the stones and reach the drain make your way up even higher to an over-look area with a few prison cells. Here are the locations and effects for every Artifact in God of War: Ascension. Artifacts are collectibles in God of War: Ascension.
