God of War/Gates of Athens

Once you get through the Aegean Sea, a cutscene will show a conversation between Kratos and Athena, a goddess assisting Kratos, and also a few brief flashes of Kratos' past. After the cutscene, you'll be in control of Kratos again.

Ship Interior


You'll start in a room consisting of a bed and two naked women. If talked to, they ask Kratos to stay. You can either leave or start an optional mini-game. To start it, jump on top of the bed and a large psx: C will hover over them. Press psx: C and the camera will zoom in on the bedside table. What follows is a QTE sequence. Press psx: T, psx: S, psx: X, psx: C or move psx: Neutral lstick as prompted and eventually, the vase which was bouncing unsteadily on the table will fall to the ground and smash into pieces. Your health will be fully-restored and, if playing in the collection, you'll get a trophy. Once you've completed the mini-game, head through the doorway opposite the bed to the right and go through the passage. You'll come across a save point and then the path will turn. A chest should be at the end of the path, along with a ladder and another chest opposite that. Open the chests and climb up the ladder to reach the deck of the ship.
