God of War Guide : Temple of The Oracle

At the end of the bridge you'll be thrown into a battle with a ton of those flying nuisances and a couple of gorgons, defeat them all to open up the blocked paths. There's a scene here as well afterward, when it's over climb the stairs and grab the chests on the left and right side of the temple entrance for a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix Feather. Inside the actual temple run to the top end and grab the staties there, you can pull them out to reveal two chests, both multicoloured. These statues actually serve a purpose, you may have noticed by now that the swarm of harpies is literally unending, and for that reason you cannot continue any further (you'll see why if you climb the stairs.) What you need to do is drag the left statues down and use it to block the left hole, then drag the right statue down and use it to block the right hole. Now take out any remaining harpies and voila, you're free. Take the lower left gate next to yet another multicoloured chest and lift it up. Before going up the stairs jump up onto the ledge to your right, here you will find a chest with another Gorgon Eye. On the adjacent side there's a chest full of red orbs. Now climb the stairs and begin to make your way across the ceiling beams Head left to find one at the end leading up that doesn't collapse then follow along to the right until you find another one. Head up and jump off beside the save point here. Save your game and head left.

Follow this hallway all the way to the end past the normal enemies and watch the scene there. All right here's what you need to do. First of all head right and notice that there is an elevator there that goes down when you stand on it. Beside the door where you came from are two statues. What you need to do is go and get one of those statues and then place it on the elevator. Now after doing that go and get the other and set it beside the elevator but not on it. Stand on the elevator so that it goes down but jump back so you don't go with it. When the elevator hits the bottom push the second statue on top of the first one. Now jump down yourself and drag it off the elevator. Notice that in the background there is a large platform held up by four pillar and beside it a smaller structure with a treasure chest on top containing red orbs. Well here's the first thing to do. Push the pillar over to these two structures and place it on the right side a good few feet from the tall thing. In order to follow this you'll need to have an idea of what I'm trying to do. If you double jump into the air to the right of these two structures you should see two treasure chests up top of the rock ledge. Well what you need to do is jump onto the small structure with the chest, and from there jump onto the taller platform. Now from here jump over to your two-story statue and then to the rock ledge with the two chests, trust me, it works.

After opening all the chests drop down. Make your way around in a clockwise direction staying alongside the walls, you'll notice two place where there is a cracked wall surrounded by a kind of archway. Break these cracked walls with normal attacks to reveal two chests, one with a Gorgon Eye and then other with red orbs. Now it's time to save that stupid lady. Drag the statue pillar over to the left side in between the tall platform and the fountaing. Now jump up and get on top of the tall platform via the smaller one and jump to your pillar. From here you can jump across and grab hold of the vines. As you start to shimmy across to the left a scene occurs and a time limit starts.

You have approximately 70 seconds to get from here to saving the girl, before you start I'll dispell your main worries and say that if you fail you'll automatically restart at the beginning of the timed challenge so don't worry too much. Head across the vines and position yourself for a jump, be sure to wait for each rotation of these things to finish before you actually make the jump yourself. Use techniques like the sideways and upward jump to get across the vines faster. Double jump from the highest vine to reach the rope and swing across to the other side. You'll need to balance along the thin beams here but you can save time by double jumping when you're about half way there. Jump across to the rope and from the rope to the large fountain, when you move toward the girl a scene automatically cuts in. Now leave through the door.

When you come out you'll find a save point and have the choice of two paths. If you take the stairs up beside the save point it's a long path leading to a large emblem and a cliff. The main reason to come up here is the treasure chest behind the emblem containing a Phoenix Feather. Return to the save point and head right across the large sword. Descend the enormous spiral staircase and open the chest at the bottom to get another Phoenix Feather. When you jump over the barrier here you're officially down in the sewers.
