HERA’s GARDEN
Watch the scene with Hera and Kratos. Once it’s over, use the Save Point.
Head to your right and you should see a red chest in front of you. Open it and go to the path on your right. You will face six Olympian Sentries here and find two red chests.
On the other side, use Helios’ Head to reveal a secret treasure. It will contain another Phoenix Feather.
Go back to the Save Point and go left this time. Kratos will pick Hera’s Cup up.
A Stone Brute and Sentries will attack you. Take out the Sentries first and focus your attacks on the Stone Brute. Once they’re all dead, to the North of you should be chests that will contain a green and red chest.
Go to your right and you will enter a passage way.
Fight the two of the most annoying enemies in the game. Most of the time, these enemies will block most of your attacks. The easiest way to defeat them is by grabbing their weapons. However, since there will be two that will spawn in this passageway, you have no choice but to run!
Get the green chest and go to your right. The camera will turn into a semi bird’s eye view. Use Helios’ Head to reveal a secret treasure.
You should now have another Gorgon Eye. Open the two red chests.
In the middle of the garden, we’ll solve some puzzles. Go to the center where you will see a bronze circle platform where you can stand. You will then reveal Hera’s Stone from her cup which will then reveal a path that cannot be seen to the Naked Eye.
Step to the Circle platform and the screen will turn green. You will see things being shifted. Head south and open the gate. Go to the stairs that wasn’t there before.
In the second floor, open the gate to your right. Drop down and you should see a Red Chest.
Glide to the other side and grab the pillar. Drag the pillar to your left. Rotate it with the stairs going up to your right. Push it against the mini-waterfall. You will then fill the bronze pot revealing a passageway above you.
The door will open south of where you’re at. Go there and you will have another scene with Hera.
Since Hera annoys Kratos too much, he has no choice but to kill her.
With Hera’s death, the leaves in the area will wither. The rubble that you saw earlier will now turn red. Use the Bow of Apollo to burn it down.
Grab the pillar and place it to the empty space to your left. Go in the middle and step on the circle platform that turns your screen green. You will then activate another pathway and the pot will be filled with water.
For the last part of the puzzle, grab the pillar south where the circle platform is. Go a little bit south and you will see some broken stairs. Put the pillar in between and step onto the circle platform. Thanks to Hera’s green stone, you can now cross the broken ladder. Drag Hera’s corpse to the pot and that will reveal the final path above you.
Grab the pillar for the last time and put it to the circle platform. You now have time to go to the path above you.
With the puzzle solved, Kratos will break Hera’s stone.
To get to the temple, you have to use the Harpies as your way to get there.
Open the chests here to replenish your health and magic. Go above where the Green Chest is and use Helios’ Head to reveal a secret treasure. You will now have another Gorgon Eye.
Turn the crank to open the big door. Head inside and fight a dozen of scorpions. Grab the scorpion to kill them instantly and get green orbs.
