Meeting Icarus
CUT SCENE:
Kratos runs across the decrepit bridge and then something even more decrepit slithers up to the top. It is Icarus. And every time I think that it would be
great to live in the splendor and debauchery that was ancient Greece, I remind myself that by age 40 most people would have looked like Icarus. He
tells us that only way to get across this great chasm is to use his wings. Icarus, like everyone else in this game, is trying to reach the sisters of
fate. I think he is trying to go back in time to relive his 8-bit glory days. Kratos threatens to take his wings and Icarus resists by climbing up and
roosting on his shoulders.
Then Icarus pulls Kratos off the side of the bridge and they go falling into the chasm, punching all the way down. Follow the on-screen cues. When Kratos
and Icarus fall, keep hammering on the [] and O buttons and watch for the random prompts.
When you beat him enough, Kratos steals the wings and glides softly away from the bird man. Icarus falls through the hole and past Atlas. I had to laugh
because he does that aaaaaah...take a breath.....aaaaah thing. Then, the earth opens up and Icarus falls through the Upper Mantel and I wonder if he
will reach the Outer Core or just stay in the Mantel Proper.
