ghost of Sparta: God war

A series of flashbacks reveals that an oracle had foretold that the demise of Olympus would come not by the revenge of the Titans,

who had been imprisoned after the Great War, but by a marked warrior.

The Olympians Zeus and Ares believed this warrior to be Deimos, the brother of Heroes, due to his strange birthmarks.

Ares interrupted the childhood training of Heroes and Deimos, with Athena on hand, and kidnapped Deimos.

ghost of Sparta: God war attempted to stop Ares, but was swept aside and subsequently scarred across his right eye by the Olympian.

Athena stopped Ares from killing Heroes, knowing his eventual destiny.

Taken to Death's Domain, Deimos was imprisoned and tortured by Thanatos. In honor of his sibling, Heroes marked himself with a red tattoo, identical to his brother's birthmark.

Years later, when the game begins, Heroes has taken Ares' place as the new God War on Mount Olympus.

Still haunted by visions of his mortal past, Heroes decides against Athena's advice to explore his past and travels to the Temple of Poseidon, located within the city of Atlantis.

The sea monster, Scylla, attacks and destroys Heroes' vessel off the coast of Atlantis, although the Spartan drives the beast off.

After a series of skirmishes across the city, he eventually kills Scylla.

Reaching the temple, Heroes locates his mother, Callisto, who attempts to reveal the identity of his father.

When Callisto is suddenly transformed into a hideous beast, Heroes is forced to battle her, and before dying, Callisto thanks him and beseeches him to seek out Deimos in Sparta.

Prior to departure, Heroes encounters and frees the trapped Titan, Thera, which causes the eruption of the Methana Volcano, and subsequently destroys the city.

During his escape, he has another encounter with the enigmatic gravedigger, who warns him of the consequences of alienating the gods.

After a battle with Erinys, Heroes arrives in Sparta and witnesses a group of Spartans tearing down a statue of Ares, intent on replacing it with one of Heroes.

Heroes then chases a dissenter loyal to Ares into the Spartan Jails, who attempts to kill Heroes by releasing the Piraeus Lion.

Defeating both foes, Heroes journeys to the Temple of Ares,

where he encounters the spirit of his child self and learns that he must return to the now sunken Atlantis and locate the Domain of Death.

Before leaving, a loyal Spartan provides him with his former weapons—used during Heroes' days as a Captain of the Spartan army—the ghost of Sparta: God war.

After returning to the sunken Atlantis, Heroes receives great resentment from Poseidon for sinking his beloved city.
