God of War 2005 - The Path of Hades Part I

The first obstacle you'll run into is a series of narrow platforms that branch off in different paths. There are a couple of red orb chests to find if you do some exploring, but to continue you should just head right at the first branch, and then left to fight a few legionnaires on a larger platform. Kill the first set and then continue up to the next platform to fight even more.
As you continue forward, you'll run into another obstacle: a maze of rotating logs that are lined with blades. Again, the paths branch, and you can get some extra red orbs if you go out of your way to find them. At the first branch in paths, turn right to follow a quick set of log runs to find a chest with tons of orbs (watch out for the archer). Backtrack to the previous branch and head left to continue.
You'll reach a second branch in the path-this time, head left if you want to collect more orbs, but watch out for the harpies as you reach the solid platform at the end. They'll give you a ton of orbs if you kill them with your blades (don't rip them apart), but you'll need to watch out for their dive-bomb attacks (and you need to kill them all before trying to return). When you've got your fill of orbs, back track to the second branch and take a left. You'll have to fight more harpies (use Might of Hercules) before following one last rolling log north to the next platform.
You can jump out to the first floating platform ahead, but don't jump after that. On the far end of the chasm are archers that'll shoot you down out of the air if you're not careful. Use charged Zeus' Fury shots to take them out from afar and move closer to the next ledge. As you do, more archers will pop up so you'll have to continually stop to take them out. When you're close enough to the ledge, jump out to it and fight off the minotaur and archers.
More enemies will spawn on the plateau to the right, so jump up to kill 'em off. When you've killed the enemies on this plateau, enemies will spawn on the plateau to the right. Run over to the next platform to fight off the enemies (use Achilles' Flip to launch the minotaurs into the air for quick air combos) and repeat the process until all plateaus are cleared. The magic barrier at the top should disappear, giving you access to the next obstacle.
A rotating column that's covered with blades poses your next challenge, and it's not exactly easy. You won't suffer any damage if the rotation of the column pushes you into the walls on either side, but you will take damage from touching the blades, and you'll drop down to the very bottom of the column. On most of the column pieces you'll find spots that aren't troubled by blades. When you reach these parts, take the opportunity to slowly move against the rotation of the column to make your next bits of climbing easier. To get past certain parts, you'll also want to jump up the column-just be careful not to jump into a blade.
When you reach the top of the first column you'll come to a second column that's just the same. Use the same strategies you learned for the first column to climb your way to the top and stock up on health and magic when you finally finish the climb. Once you reach the top of the second column, head forward a bit to find another set of narrow platforms. Again, you'll reach a branch in the path. Head right to grab a chest full of orbs, and then continue around the left path to jump up to a large platform.
You'll have to battle a pair of satyrs when you reach the next platform, so be prepared to dodge and attack from afar. Use Poseidon's Rage if you've got the magic to spare. Every satyr you kill will summon another small platform, forming a bridge to the next area, so continue to fight the enemies until they stop spawning-when the bridge is fully formed, hop across the platforms (there are chests on the left and right) to reach another large clearing with a few archers.
When you finally reach the end of this run, a rope will drop down from the sky. Jump to grab the rope and climb it up to the level's end, returning to the Temple of the Oracle. (not this video because of the stupid spike tower)
