| You'll meet some more Undead Legionnaire on the deck. You'll be told you can press and hold {{psx|T}} to launch them into the air. Defeat them. Now you'll see that you're at the end of the ship. There will be a pole positioned on the deck to lead to another location. Balance on the pole and walk across. There will be two other poles to walk across after crossing the first one. Cross the one that's going straight to reach another ship. | | You'll meet some more Undead Legionnaire on the deck. You'll be told you can press and hold {{psx|T}} to launch them into the air.

| ==Ship Deck 2==

| |
| When you reach the next ship, a cutscene will ensue. Arrows are being thrown at you by armed Undead Legionnaire, who are all the way on the other side of the deck. This calls for some stealth. First though, you are given a chance to save, the save point being a light. After saving, jump down onto the lower deck to see some dying soldiers of the Spartan army. Though you will have to take cover, you also need to bring one box all the way to the front to give you a boost to the higher deck, where the Undead are shooting from. You will be told to hold {{psx|R2}} and charge {{psx|X}} to kick the box. Be careful though; the box is a little weak, and will break if arrows are shot at it. This means you'll have to start all over and go back to where the box has regenerated. When you take cover, take the box with you. This is when you are told you can press {{psx|X}} and then {{psx|X}} again to double jump. Double jump up and kill the shooting soldiers. Open the treasure chest in the opening and go through the door on the left.

| ===Going Up===
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 climbing and attacking.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 sliding.png|150px|right]]
| |
| After going through the hall, you'll see a door that, if gone against, gives you the chance to press {{psx|R2}}. Instead of giving you the chance to take action, you are told it is where the women are hiding from the massacre, which happens to be the Captain's Quarters. You'll need to find a key to open it. Climb the ladder to see a net. Start climbing on the net. Unlike the net you've seen in the flooded interior of the first ship, the Undead will be climbing on this net, and they'll be trying to hurt you. Move {{psx|Neutral|Lstick}} in the direction the soldier is, then {{psx|S}} for a quick jab of Kratos' blades on the enemy. You can also move {{psx|Neutral|Lstick}} in the direction of a soldier and press {{psx|T}} for a long swipe. After climbing up the net, you'll land on a round platform only to see another net. Climb up that enemy-infested net as well to reach another round platform. Kill the Undead here and jump on the rope to slide down it.

| ==Poseidon's Rage==
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 gorgon eye.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 poseidon's rage.png|150px|right]]
| |
| Smash the wooden boards blocking the chests and open them. One will contain a Gorgon Eye. Collecting six will increase your maximum health. The one on the left will contain the usual orbs. Smash the boards in the middle to find a narrow hallway. Go through it to see a glowing blue wall and a blue save point flanked by two tall statues. Touch it to initiate a cutscene. You'll see the face of the God of Water, Poseidon. He tells you that, before you can reach Athens, you must fulfill a task: defeat Hydra. He will give you Poseidon's Rage to assist you on your quest. Press {{psx|Right|Dpad}} and then {{psx|L2}} to activate the new power, which will let you use lightning.
| |
| ==Hydra: The Final Battle==
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 magic power.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 final battle.png|150px|right]]
| |
| Go through the opening the face has left, which will lead you outside. Use the save point if you wish, and on the side opposite the save point will be two treasure chests. One is the usual health, but the other will introduce blue orbs, which give you power for magic. Keep going right and climb up the net. A cutscene will follow showing Spartan soldiers trying to fight off the third Hydra head. One of the soldiers is eaten up, and another tries to run away before running right into a second Hydra head, who swallows him. The third soldier is chewed up by the first Hydra head. Now only Kratos is left, and he isn't afraid. Now you will have to face all three Hydra heads.
| |
| ===Hydra Heads 1 & 2===
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 first head.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 second head.png|150px|right]]
| |
| The two smaller Hydra heads on the left and right of the larger one will be the ones you have to tackle first. Use the same strategy for both. Slash the head until it goes down and start to climb the boxes. When you reach the platform at the top, jump on it and Kratos will bring it down with his weight. It'll go down on the head, trapping it no matter how much it struggles against it. After trapping both heads, move on to the last one.

| ===Hydra Head 3===
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 third head.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 third head qte.png|150px|right]]
| |
| Climb the net and you'll see the largest head, the third one. Keep slashing at it, and use Poseidon's Rage when it gets close enough. When it roars, hang off the ledge instead of having to go all the way down. After hurting it enough, the head will go down. This is when you press {{psx|C}}. Kratos will grab it by the mouth and try jamming it into a pole. Tap {{psx|C}} and the pole will break a little. Repeat this and the pole will get weaker and weaker, and so will the head. After a couple of jams, another large {{psx|C}} above the head. You will enter a QTE where you will again press {{psx|C}}. Tap {{psx|C}} to get the Hydra's head through the pole by the eyes. It will eventually die and the other heads, without the support of the third and largest one, will also die.

| ==Captain's Key==
| |
| [[File:God of War Ch1 inside hydra.png|150px|left]][[File:God of War Ch1 captain's key.png|150px|right]]
| |
| After the cutscene, go into the Hydra mouth right in front of you. When you reach the end of the throat, you'll see one of the soldiers who was swallowed by the Hydra head, who happens to be the captain. Unlike the other soldiers, he wasn't chewed up, so he's still alive. Press {{psx|R2}} to activate a cutscene in which Kratos lets the captain die but takes his key. Go back out and climb up the boxes on the right to see a net. Climb up the net and open the treasure chests. One of them will contain the second Gorgon Eye. Slide down the rope once you're done. Jump down onto the deck and jump down onto the lower deck. After killing the Undead Legionnaire, jump on the box you placed there earlier and climb up the net and onto the upper deck. Go through the opening and you'll be back outside. Open the door you couldn't open before by pressing {{psx|R2}}. Go through the door and follow the path to find another door. Open it with {{psx|R2}} and you'll see a long cutscene bringing you to your next destination.
