God of War 2 Throne of Lahkesis Walkthrough

CUT SCENE:
Kratos swings out to the platform and the fate that we saw in the two Auditoriums is back and in the flesh. She floats down and I thought she was a moth but is really just wearing a huge metal cape. In her hand is a crook. In
Greek mythology that stick would determine the length of a person's life thread.

She looks at him and says "We've been expecting you." Get it? Because they are the fates. Kratos says "out of my way." She then uses a lot of words to say that no one can change their fates and that as the fates, they are the most powerful creature in all of Greece. Kratos offers that he can control his fate and she pretty much shoots him down right there by calling him on the fact that Gaia has been lying to him all along. Kratos takes it the same way he does most things, not well, and grabs her by the throat.

BOSS: Lahkesis

Part I

Attack her as much as you can but be ready to roll away from her because she attacks quickly
When she shoots green fireballs, use the L1 gold fleece to block and fire them back at her.

Part II

Reflect the beam at her and you will volley the beam back and forth like fighting Gannon in Zelda Ocarina of Time.
When she fires a green electric beam at the floor, she is electrifying it so jump up and grapple to the hooks that line the walls. Keep moving amongthe hooks to avoid her additional attacks.
When she finally gets an "O" over her head, follow the on-screen prompts to destroy her.

CUT SCENE
Actually, I lied, you don't destroy her. She just calls in her sister Atropos for some more fighting. Sometimes end bosses remind me of gratuitous encores at concerts. Those moments you realize that the band really isn't that good live and then when they fake pack-up and are off stage teasing the audience to start chanting "encore" but you want to shout "No! Your guys are just alright, that set was fine as is." Then you actually get mad when they come back out. This boss is just like that. She does not need an encore. But Lahkesis rises anyway and points her hook at Kratos and says "You do not defy the fates Kratos. For we have woven the events of your life." Then a black cloud circles the room and the other fate drags Kratos back to the inlet where he battled Ares in God of War 1. There in the background you can see Kratos and Ares battling it out and I just got Back to the Future II deja
vu. Atropos explains the rules: she is going to destroy this huge sword which is bad news for Kratos because in GOW1 Kratos needs this sword to defeat Ares. You need to stop Atropos from destroying this sword.

CUT SCENE
You see the final scenes of GOW 1 (spoilers in the background if you have not played it). GOW1 Kratos is about to get stabbed by Ares but because GOW2 Kratos saved the sword, GOW1 Kratos is able to grab it and used it to finish off Ares. But who left their Malibu Atropos Doll lying on that sword? She falls when Kratos grabs the sword and then she tries to fly back up and out of this time period but is stuck there. It's not entirely clear how but Kratos is able to get back to GOW2 time and back to the Temple of the Fates.

BOSS: Lahkesis and Atropos

Kratos now has to fight both fates. Atropos will pop in through the mirrorand fire a few fireballs at you while Lahkesis will perform the same attacks she used in the first fight.

PART I:

Attack Lahkesis using the same tactics used in Part I and Part II.
When Atropos pops in, deflect her beams and keep attacking.
After enough hits on the Lahkesis sister, Atropos will slump down into the mirror stunned. Use L1 + R1 to slow time and attack the mirror bound sisterwith everything you have. Magic, attacks, Titan Rage, everything. When you hit her enough, the mirror cracks and she starts pounding on it. Keep attacking the mirror to break it for good.
Repeat all the steps in part IV to destroy the other mirror.

PART II:

When there is one mirror left, Lahkesis will guard the central mirror and launch her attacks from there.
When she sends out 6 beams, hang back so that they are spread out by the time they reach you.
When she is not launching the 6 beams, run up and attack her at point blank range but watch her carefully and get ready to roll out of the way when she raises her staff.
When she is low on power she will have a circle on her head. Watch out because there are about 6 key press that you will have to follow and they are spaced out so far that you think it is the last one and then another will come.
When she finally gets stuck behind the mirror, destroy it and both of the fates will be dealt with.
