Kratos' ten years of service to the Olympian Gods, he is sent to the city of Attica to help defend it from the invading Persian army.

After successfully killing the Persian King, decimating his army and slaying their pet basilisk, Hero observes the Sun fall from the sky, plunging the world into darkness.

As he fights his way through the city of Marathon, god of war Chains Olympus witnesses the black fog of the Olympian Morpheus cover the land.

He hears a haunting flute melody, which he recognizes as a melody once played by his deceased daughter Calliope.

Finding the Temple of Helios, Hero is tasked by Athena to find the missing Sun God, as Morpheus has caused many of the gods to fall into a deep slumber in the absence of light.

The Spartan eventually locates Helios' sister, Eos, who tells Hero the fire steeds of Helios.

The steeds take the Spartan to the Underworld, where he has two encounters with Charon at the River Styx.

Although Charon initially defeats Hero and banishes him to Tartarus, the Spartan returns and destroys the ferryman.

After locating the Temple of Persephone and confronting the Queen of the Underworld,

Hero is given a choice: renounce his power and be with his deceased daughter (at a cost to mankind) or proceed with his mission.

Hero sacrifices his weapons and power to be reunited with his daughter,

but discovers that Persephone is embittered by Zeus' betrayal and her imprisonment in the Underworld with her husband Hades.

While he was distracted by his reunion with Calliope, Persephone's ally Atlas was using the power of the kidnapped Helios to destroy the Pillar of the World,

which would also end Olympus. Choosing to abandon Calliope forever, Hero takes back his power and binds Atlas to the Pillar of the World he sought to destroy,

forcing the Titan to hold the weight of the world on his shoulders. Hero then battles Persephone to the death.

Although victorious, he is warned by a dying Persephone that his suffering will never end.

Atlas also warns Hero that he will eventually regret helping the gods and that he and Atlas will meet again.
