Several months later, a now amnesiac Kratos seeks council with Orkos (the son of Ares) and with the oracle at Delphi to be permanently free from Ares’ control and to bring back his memories. Kratos learns the only solution is to kill the Furies, as they hold his bond with Ares. But, in a twist of irony, the Furies lock Kratos in a prison made out of the still-living corpse of a hundred-armed giant known as a Hecatoncheires.

Kratos escapes the prison and fights  his way past the Furies’ tricks, including illusions and parasitic creatures that painfully twist the Hecatoncheires into a writhing mass of spikes and teeth. Kratos brutally kills the Furies, only to learn Orkos now holds his bond. Kratos reluctantly (and mercifully) kills Orkos, which is probably the only time Kratos is reluctant to run someone through with a sword. This breaks Kratos’ bond and restores his lost memories, which are actually nightmares of murdering his family. This sets Kratos on a path of servitude for Athena, just so he can rid himself of his night terrors.
