The main plot

The passage of the game God of War Ascension begins with a scene in prison. The Erineans tortured young Kratos for betraying the blood vow given to Ares thousands of years ago. He is tortured by Megera, but still eludes his cruel warders. The Erineans pursue the fugitive, and along the way, the protagonist realizes that the whole dungeon is the body of the first violator of the divine oath - Briareus, who was subjected to metamorphosis for the betrayal of Zeus himself. At one point, Kratos falls under the influence of the magic of illusions created by Tisiphon and her friend Demon. The hero successfully overcomes this obstacle and begins the battle with Meger.
