Kill all the gladiators for a key to the cage around the lever. Pull it to stop the blades and youll break it off and take it with you. Place the lever into one of the empty slots near the blades to unlock one of the spike guards to final area. Head back to the start and go down to the left to another area where you will do the same thing. Now finally take the path to the left to do it one last time. After setting the third lever, return down the left path to exit to the final area.

Boss: Deimos – God of Terror
Just like her brother she has gained one new power for this fight. She can not steal your health from you when she gets up from a rest only if you don’t hit her. So be sure and hit knock her down each time she rest. You will have to use the power of Jupiter to activate the urn things here. But once they are all activated the light only remains for a few minutes. So make sure you wait until she is about to rest before hitting the third one. You can not summon the light on her while she is resting, you must make it appear and then hit her into it. (this could be because the cinematic of the light appearing the first time keeps it from doing so, I never tried it on the second cycle. So if it works when you try it, great!) The level will reset and you have to do it one more time.

You get the last piece of Rome’s Life force.
