From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
[edit] Level 2: Titan Stronghold: Tablet X4 CoinX1
Head through the crack in the gate and enter the Argos Statue challenge.
[edit] Quad Damage Challenge: Kill all enemies in 100 seconds
Reward: Ability to gain X4 damage drops(Foes that have this drop will have blue armor)
Then continue to the next section. Soon in the path a piece of wall will fall blocking your return to the entrance. You will find a Blood Gauge skull here. Defeat the enemies to drop the gate and head to the left wall. Jump over the gap and climb the column to a lever. After a second set of foes you’ll be free to cross the barrier. Step on the door plate to proceed. In the next room you’ll battle some Psychocompos. Their defeat signal the Shadows to come. You will have to break the new active Herculean Symbols to stop the flow of darkness. When the task is complete and the path is open. There are two challenges in this room, one by each door.
[edit] Sword Gauge Challenge 2: Kill all enemies in 100 seconds with the sword
Reward: Sword Fight gauge Lvl 2 (adds more panels to the gauge)
The other side of the door where you find this challenge has a chest containing a Titan Tablet.
[edit] Health Slot Challenge 3: Kill all enemies in 130 seconds
Reward: Max Heath +1
After completing them head to the next area. Don’t bother heading down the stairs yet, as there is nothing you can do yet. You will see a vase along the wall standing on a ledge. Break it and walk the ledge turning onto the first metal beam you come to. There is a Blood Meter Refill Skull here as well as a chest containing a key here. The metal beam just to the left of the box leads to another challenge.
[edit] Health Slot Challenge 4: Break all Herculean Vases in 140 seconds
Reward: Max Heath +1
This one is a bit harder that most because you have a lot of vases to break and the enemies are tougher. Remember to only beat the Cyclops enough to fill your gauge then break vases. If you concentrate on killing the Cyclops first, you’ll never make it. It helps if you have a full Blood Bar when you enter and I’m convinced that’s why they put the Bloody Gauge Refill there. Anyway… Now return to the stairs and head down. At each lock you will teleported to a small platform where you will battle Cyclops for a key. The final one will lower the cage around the lever. The lever starts the large gears working opening a bridge and lowering a path to the vase the game showed you as you entered. The vase contains another titan tablet. As you approach the bridge a dark portal opens, enter it for a challenge.
[edit] Axe Challenge 1: Kill all enemies in 130 seconds with the axe
Reward: Imperator - Master axe
The barrier is now gone so you can proceed. Take the stairs up and defeat the Cyclops to drop a part of the gate. On this floor you will find a chest containing one of the Emperor’s coins hidden in the bushes near the challenge.
[edit] Health Slot Challenge 5: Kill all enemies in 65 seconds
Reward: Max Heath +1
Now head to the dropped gate and jump down. There is another challenge waiting in the far back of this area.
[edit] Titan Tablet Challenge 3: Kill all enemies in 70 seconds
Reward: Titan Tablet
Defeat the skeletons for the key and to drop the gate. Unlock the door and proceed. You will find a challenge as son as you enter this area on the right.
[edit] Axe Gauge Challenge 1: Kill all enemies in 100 seconds with the axe
Reward: Axe Fight Gauge Lvl 1
As you proceed you will be blocked by shadow walls. Defeat the shadows to get enough blood then hit the gate with the Herculean strength. The Fetter you will soon meet knows how to use dark magic and will drain the life of the nearby psychocampos to refill its health bar. Continue to the end of the path across the broken floor for another challenge.
[edit] Titan Tablet Challenge 4: Kill all enemies in 110 seconds
Reward: Titan Tablet
This is the final Tablet, you can benefit from this as soon as you return to Elysium. Slide down the rope to the next set of platforms you have to jump across where you will find another challenge.
[edit] Health Slot Challenge 6: Kill all enemies in 70 seconds
Reward: Max Heath +1
Defeat the next shadow wall to pass into the final chamber.
[edit] Boss: Phobos – God of Fear
He protects himself in a shadowy form making him invulnerable to attack. You will have to dodge his attacks until he gets weak and needs to rest. His final attack before resting will always be a Jumping drop kick move. Repeat until you have enough blood stored up to hit him with Herculean Strength. This will take three hits for an empty bar. After hit once with Herculean strength he gets a new move, he will stream a green energy at you which can be dodged by rolling under it as it comes near. He only uses it once cycle (a cycle being ended each time he has to rest) and is usually the first attack he will make at the start of a new cycle. After your second Herculean hit the battle is over.
You now receive the first of four parts to Rome’s life force. And a new challenge to accept in the Elysium fields.
[edit] Elysium: Gateway Hub
Go to the Titan Head in front of the first area and place the tablets to unlock a new challenge in the isle of the titans. You will find it in the cave wall right after the first gate among some barrels.
[edit] Sword Gauge Challenge 4
Reward: Final Sword Gauge
[edit] Elysium
[edit] Plutonian Challenge: Kill all enemies in 110 seconds
Reward: Power of Pluto (allows you to drain life from tagged enemies when they die) This will cover your current power gauge with a blue line when you have herculean strength. You can use Herculean strength even when you have the power of Pluto as the currently showing power by pressing the button twice instead of once.
