God of War II Walkthrough Part 21: Wrangling Horses to the Garden of Lahkesis

In the last God of War II walkthrough I promised you that you'll be able to ride horses, and I wasn't lying. Approach the center of the animal and tap the R1 Button, and you'll be ready to catch the rest of them. On your screen you'll be given a direction in which you need to rotate the analog stick to round up the other horses. After doing so, you'll be given a cut scene and you'll need to make your way back to the Garden of Lahkesis.

Once you arrive at your next destination, take out all the Minotaurs to unlock the gate in God of War II. Now you can cross the large chain to get back to the temple where you'll need to scale the wall and destroy any rubble that stands in your way. At the top, run around to the other side of the ledges to find a save point and save the progress of your game.

Walk into the Divine Pools where you'll encounter an enemy you've seen several times throughout the game, the Harpie. Before you go on a rampage killing these enemies, be careful as these particular ones explode upon death. Now that they're all gone and the hard part is done, head to the back wall near the waterfall and destroy to find a lot of blood and a blood chest in God of War II.

Start climbing your way up the waterfall and make a right turn when you can to find one more blood chest. You'll also be glad to know that there's a Gorgon's eye nearby and to get to it you need to go left and find the balcony. Make your way around it and climb the wall on the left side where you'll find a hidden ledge with three chests inside.

Run back to the wall you just scaled up, but this time you need to be going down to the ledge on the bottom in God of War II. Once there, turn right and continue climbing down and go left when you can. Crumble the wall by attacking it to find another hidden chest, but this time it contains a Phoenix Feather.

Now that you've found all the secrets, let's go back up to the top ledge and take out all of those fearsome exploding Harpies. Kick open the double doors and you'll be face to face with another pesky puzzle room. You can learn all about how to get past this difficult puzzle in the next part of the God of War II walkthrough series.
