Helios again confronted Perses on the slopes of Olympia, holding an advantage over the Titan because of the blinding light he emitted. Afterwards, Helios was also seen battling the Titan of Destruction, Perses, and successfully dislodged him off the mountain. Helios jumped onto his Sun Chariot and began attacking Gaia, throwing a fireball, combusting a fallen tree to prevent Kratos from escaping the undead soldiers that swarmed the Titaness' shoulder. The Gods quickly took action to defeat the Titans once again. He is one of the first witnesses of the rescued Titans ascending Mount Olympus, led by Gaia and Kratos, who wanted revenge on Zeus for betraying him. Helios briefly appears in person at the end, during the council of the Gods on Olympus, along with Hermes, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. The second was found in the Garden of the Gods, as Kratos traveled through the Palace of the Fates. The first is the great Colossus of Rhodes, which, after being brought to life by Zeus, Kratos fought and destroyed. Two statues of the Sun God do appear in God of War II. While Helios does not appear in person in Ascension, God of War, Ghost of Sparta or God of War II (save the ending cutscene), technically he is always visible whenever the Sun is in the sky. Helios, praised his actions and grateful for Kratos' rescuing him, showed pity for his sacrifices, suggesting helping him further, only for Athena to disagree, claiming that "He'll live. On the cliffs, an unconscious Kratos was stripped of his items by Helios and Athena. After his final battle and Kratos returning Helios to the sky but fell off Helios' Chariot and nearly hit a cliff, though he was saved by the gods. The ray of sunlight he radiated was used by Kratos to weaken Persephone. During the battle with Persephone, Helios was held in Atlas' hand, forming of an orb of light. Helios was taken to the Underworld, where Atlas tried to use his power to destroy the Pillar of the World-and with it, the rest of the world and Mount Olympus (the home of the Olympian Gods).īefore this plan could be fully achieved, Helios was saved by Kratos, who defeated Persephone and chained Atlas to the world in the Pillar's place. His disappearance allowed Morpheus, the God of Dreams, who had been alerted of Persephone's plan, to take over the mortal realm and cast the Gods into a deep slumber. Helios was kidnapped by the mighty Titan by orders of the goddess Persephone, who felt betrayed by the Gods for being forced to stay with her husband Hades, God of the Underworld, six months out of every year. Although endowed with powers similar to Helios' own, his champion was killed in battle by Kratos. Helios appeared in the gods' wager, with a champion of his own. In Atlas' flashback of the Great War of the Gods and the Titans, Helios can be seen fighting alongside Hermes against the Titans.
