God of War: Chains of Olympus/Enemies

Armored Cyclops
Heavily armored and smart to boot, the armored Cyclops is a fierce opponent. In order to properly attack the beast, Kratos must first get past the Cyclpos's armor. Powerful blows with the Gauntlet of Zeus do the trick. Once the Cyclops has been stripped of it's armor it's time to hack and slash.

Armored Minotaur
The one flaw in the Minotaur is it's lack in defense. The armored Minotaur correts that. Layered with a thick coat of armor, this Minotaur is ready for whatever Kratos has to offer. But the armor isn't on too tight and can be removed with some magic or a powerful attack. Once the armors gone it's time to take this beast to the slaughter.

Athenian Solider
The Athenian Soliders defend the streets of Attica from the invading Persian army. They have a pretty hard life. Not only must they face a foreign army, they also have to tackle the problem of the rampaging Basilisk and try to avoid the wrath of Kratos. Their pathetic armor and weak attacks aren't helping them much.

Banshee
Legendary screamers, Banshee voices are enough to ruptuer eardrums and give even Kratos a migraine. But a Bnashee is more than just a powerful set of lungs. Their half-women, half-serpent bodies act like giant whips, delivering heavy block-breaking blows.

Basilisk
A massive beast of legend, the Basilisk is a mixture of vicious animals. Unleashed upon the city of Attica, it crawls over buildings devouring civilians and soliders alike. More than once it torments Kratoswith it's mammoth jaws, colossal claws and blazing breath. Luckily, most of the monster's attacks can be blocked or evaded. If Kratos can successfully execute a few combos and activate the Basilisk's Context-Sensitive action, he's in the clear.

Charon
The ferryman of the dead, Charon is just as menacing as one would expect. Cold, cruel and intense, Charon is unbeatable the first time Kratos fights him. The ferryman's blurring speed makes him nearly impossible to touch and his long scythe has an incredible reach. It isn't until Kratos has gained some netherworl experience and obtained the Gauntlet of Zeus that he is able to make a stand against Charon.

Cursed Harpling
Found in the realm of Hades, Cursed Harplings are born into a world of death. They gather together in flocks, swooping in ununexpected prey. Their attacks are quick as are their retreats. It only takes a hit or two to send these pests packing, but beware a flock of them!

Cursed Harpy
Real female fatales, Cursed Harpis dive bomb their adversaries using their talons to rip flesh from bone. Their fluttery movements make them difficult to track, but not impossible. Sweep them away quicly via area attacks.

Cyclops
Servents of the King of Persia, these towering creaturesaren't know to be the smartest bunch. The one thing they do know is how to fightand they display their mightbefore Kratos on a number of occasions. Their thick hind acts as natural armor, while their arms act like mallets, crushing their small targets. But, the one-eyed beasts' large size slows them, often leaving them open to counterattacks.

Dark Satyr Grenadier
Like the Satyr Grenadier, Dark Satyr Grenadiers launch blazing projectiles. When they have their eye on a target, they care not who else gets in the way. Their fireballs can be deflected using the sun shield.

Dark Satyr
A more menacing version of the Satyr, Dark Satyrs appear in the Grove of Persephone's Temple. More powerful, Dark Satyrs are also equipped with sai's and attack mercilessly.

Death Knight
Brothers of the Hyperion Guards, Death Knights are huge demons tha excel in defense. Unlike their weaker relatives, Death Knights also have powerful offensive manuvers. Their equipped shield can be dispelled by a powerful combo or by unleashing Efreet, but it returns quickly.

Fire Guard
Protecters of Helios 's sacred temple, the Fire Guards are determined creatures armed with fiery blades. They are able to cut through combos like butter and their powerful jumping attack can shatter Kratos's standard block.

Fire Sentinel
Specializing in support attacks, Fire Sentinels act like backup to the other creatures that appear in the temple. Their beams of light burn when they make contact, But if Kratos brings up his Sun Shield in time, he can reflect a Fire Sentinel's attack and send it right back at them.

Gorgon
Sisters of the legendary Medusa, Gorgons have the ability to turn their targets to stone on sight with just a single gaze. Once their target is stoned, they can use their whiptail and smash them to dust.

Gorgon Queen
More tempting and more deadly than the standard Gorgon, a Goron Queen slithers up to its prey and sensually wraps itself around their body. Once in the Gorgon Queen's grip, their advaseries have no chance of escaping the Gorgon's famous stone stare.

Harpling
Smaller than their full grown sister, Harplings are little more than pests when they attack Kratos individually. However, they rarely act on their own, choosing to move in flock of at least five. They take turns attacking, swooping in one at a time for a continuous rain of blows.

Harpy
Half-female, half-bird and all trouble, Harpies act in flocks and attack their prey in groups rather than attacking individually. Like their smaller counterpart, Harpies use diving attacks, taking turns so that at any given point that any of the Hapies in the flock is attacking.

Hoplite
The skeletal soliders, Hoplites, reign as the general army of the underworld. They gather in troops, keen blades shredding souls who wander from their destined path. As Kratos enters the underworld they set their eyes on the living Ghost of Sparta.

Hoplite (Wall)
Lingering on the walls of Hades, these Hoplites are excellent grapplers. They leap onto their enemies holding them in a death grip and dragging them down into despair.

Hoplite Archer
Usually stationed just out of reach, Hoplite Archers give spport to ground troops. Their fiendish arrows rain down onto their targets, forcing them to keep on the move to stay alive.

Hyperion Guard
The Hyperion Guard protects the Temple of Helios's most inner chambers its seemingly impenetrable defense is all the Guard has going for itself. Once its shield is destroyed with either a powerful combo or magic attack, the Guard doesn't stand a chance agaibst Kraots's inevitable onslaught.

Innocent Souls
These Innocent Souls appear in the Elysium Fields. They are in their version of the favorable afterlife, what most commenly refer to "Heaven." This provides Kratos with an incredible bonus...

Minotaur
More bull than man, the Minotaur charges at enemies with its piercing horns, tossing them into the air like a rag doll. If the Minotaur's target does somehow dodge the charge they still have its large blunt sword to deal with. Its substantial size coupled with its huge attack radius can instantly destroy an enemy. Thank the Gods it has a terrible defense.

Morpheus Beast
Giant fangs, razor-sharp claws and blue fire breath are the ingredients for one fearsome creature. Morpheus Beast, one of Morpheus's fog-borned beasts, and its non-sequential array of attacks are all offense and no defense. Sneak in a couple of combos and it's bye-bye kitty.

Persephone
Within the tower in the fields of Elysium the agile Persephone attacks Kratos while the Titan Atlas attempts to destroy the world. Persephone is a master of the magical arts and darts through the air with her four black wings. Her armor is one of a kind but fails to protect against any of Kratos's attacks.

Persian King
The leader of the Persian attack ot Attica, the Persian King isn't the king for nothing. His magic can cripple enemies by the dozens and his massive size and blade crush all who haven't already run away in fear. Too bad he isn't a inventive combatant. His basic sword maneuvers can be blocked and the King's large girth slows his movements, allowing Kratos to unleash a series of counterattacks.

Persian Archer
The Persian Archers work in groups and act as support for their close-combat comrades. Always found at a distance, the archers have hawk-like eyes and flaming arrows that lock onto the targets with pinpoint percision. If their line is breached though, their deadly arrows become worthless and their light armor does nothing to save them.

Persian Warrior
As part of Greece's sworn enemy, the Persian Warrior is not one to be underestimated. Equipped with light armor and scimitars, the soliders are weak when they face Kratos individually, but as an army, they can surround and overwhelm even the legendary Spartan General.

Satyr
More confrontational than their fire-weilding brethren, Satyrs live for hand-to-hand combat. Equipped with two large sais and well-armored, these Satyrs attack their targets relentlessly and working in team, overwhelm their prey.

Satyr Grenadier
Stationed within the Temple of Helios, Satyr Grenadiers specialize in projectials, namely ones that are flaming. Their fiery ammo creates temporary burning pits, so even if the miss their target they still restrict its movements. Liking to keep a safe distance from their enemy, the Satyrs hop away at the first sign of an enemy's offensive charge.

Shade
Summoned from the depths of Morpheus's murky black fog, shades fear little, since they are already dead, and attack their prey with vigor. Their swords glow with a mystical power and their armor is able to withstand numerious blows. Still, they are just bones and armor; how much damage could they possibly do?

Shade Archer
Part of Morpheus's army, Shade Archers fire glowing arrows powered by the black fog. Always found at a distance, the archers have light armor that is not ment to protect against direct blows.

Shielded Hoplite
Heavily armored and equipped with a large shield that covers most of their bones, Shielded Hoplites attack in short quick strikes before hiding once again behind their shields. Remove the shield and they become easy prey.

Sphinx
Similar to the Morpheus Beast, the Sphinx is a large cat-like creature that pounces onto its target and devoures them with its fangs. If the Sphinx's meal does slip away it can always use its fire breath to roast the target instead.
