Off The Shelf (Let's Play): God of War 2 [PS2] - Part 8: Set Prometheus Free

Listen to Prometheus' sad story (or is it...) and set him free from his prison. Climb down the mountain and fight some more sentries. Find another Gorgon Eye (3/37). Climb back up and re-enter Typhon's cavern. Head up the zipline and use some puzzle-solving to get a Phoenix Feather (1/30). Head down the path to find some Gorgons, who are ready for a tough fight. Guess we shouldn't have been collecting their eyes...

lol 37 gorgon eyes wtf 6x6=36 so u cna olny get 6pairs of gorgon eyesso why is there 1 mroe left...

[skorch82]

@MrLuk20000 You can only get 18 of each. The extras become red orbs once you get them all. They are there because sometimes people miss them, so it's extra chances to get them all.

what is prometheus god of?

[skorch82]

@nanoman172 nothing, he's not a god.

[EmpKazbar]

A few things:

1. Unwarranted insult

2. I never said anything about the three snake-people being "one being". I know they're separate

[andromada369]

Medusa is actually one of three gorgon sisters. The other two are Stheno and Euryale. It could have been one of the two remaining sisters.

@nanoman172 Skorch is incorrect. Prometheus USED to be a god. He created man out of clay (I think he had help from someone else but I'm not sure). When he saw his creations (man) on earth walking blindly, he gave them something that only the gods at the time had: fire. Zeus got all pissed off and condemned Prometheus to have his liver eaten by a raven in the morning, and at night be healed.

Considering that he gave man fire, it's rather ironic that he burnt to death.

[Shadohime]

Did anyone else notice that one of the Gorgons turned a harpy into stone, killing it? I had no idea friendly fire was enabled for their gaze! :P

[Jarateispiss]

@andromada369 its euryale

[bloodvein3]

thank god, i couldnt find out how to kill prometheus for some reason

[nanoman172]

@dbzlotrfan oh ok thx

[dbzlotrfan]

@nanoman172 He was the Titian brother of Epimethius, Prometheus "gave" Humans 'fire', for his punishment Zeus had a eagle eat his liver every day.. . . .

[ConRyan107]

This part reminds me of an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess, where Xena, Gabriell, Hercules, and Ioluas went to release Prometheus b/c all the fire was gone and no one could heal on their own and all wounds led to death.

[Entropy3ko]

BTW it was Heracles (Hercules) that released Prometheus from his torment at the request of Zeus himself, since Prometheus could aid Zeus with his gift of prophecy.

Zeus (poseidon and Hades as well) wanted to have a child with the very beautiful titanessTetis, mother of Achilles, but Prometheus warned Zeus that Tetis' son would be 'far greater than his father'... so Zeus let Heracles liberate Prometheus and gave Tetis in marriage to Peleus, king of Phtia and father of Achilles.
