God of War III

Story Related Trophy. Cannot be Missed.

Make your way through Hera's Garden of weird perspective. This garden is essentially an M.C. Escher drawing .

When the cutscene with Hera ends, go to the left and pick up Hera's Chalice. You need this for the stone in it. Now continue in this direction until you come to a hallway that curves around to the right. The gate will rise after you step in to the hallway (that's how you know you're in the right place). As you make your way down this hallway, two new enemies will appear. Take care of them in the usual way and go to the end of the hallway and open the gate here. Make your way to the only place you can go. The gate will rise behind you. Walk forward and step on the pad here to trigger a quick cutscene showing you the power of the Hyperion Stone.

Walk towards the screen and activate the gate here to lower it. It won't lower it all the way so jump over the remaining section of it and head up the stairs on the left. When you reach the top, the Hyperion Stone will wear off and things will go back to normal. Go to the end of the platform here and lift the gate. Jump down to the ground below and jump across the gap to the far side. Here there is a pillar with stairs on the top. Drag the stairs to the left, rotate them once to the left and place it beside the bowl on the right side if it. If you did it correctly, the water from the waterfall will travel along the stairs and fill up the bowl. A platform will lower in the distance and the gate in front of you will lower. Go through the new opening and you'll encounter Hera again. After the cutscene, go to the right and shoot a flame-charged arrow at the bramble wall to set it on fire and burn it down. Now go pick up the corpse of Hera and place it on the circle pad, activating the Hyperion Stone. Now go to the right and grab the stair pillar the you placed earlier and bring it to the left side of the area next to the bowl here, making the water go in the bowl and filling it up.

After the quick cutscene showing the new flow of water, grab the stair pillar and drag it to the very bottom of the area and rotate it twice to complete the staircase. Now go up the staircase on the left side. When you get to the top, the effect of the Hyperion Stone will go away. Jump back down and push the stair pillar over to the circular pad on the ground, pressing it down. This will enable the Hyperion Stone indefinitely, allowing you to follow the path back up the stairs and around to the north part of the garden. When you reach the end, you will see a quick cutscene in which Kratos destroys the Hyperion Stone.

The trophy will unlock here.
