Kratos battles with a pack of Fate Sentries
The Fates Sentries are creatures seen throughout God of War II, and they are the most frequent enemies in the game.
His role in the game is similar to the Undead and Cursed Legionnaires' in God of War, since they appear in almost all the figths.
Sentries
Fate Sentry
They appear to be the standard protectors of the Sisters of Fate. From the waist up they appear as a lightly armored, decaying human, with a Greek centurion' helmet on their heads, and from the waist down they have the legs of an unidentified hoofed animal. They are armed with blades attached to their arms and a large sword which they carry on their backs.
They are first encountered in the Lair of Typhon, and then in the Island of Creation. At times early on in the game, these foes can also be seen riding Griffins. Also, they can climb walls, ropes, and hang on ceilings, to attack Kratos.
Later on, near the Cliffs of Lahkesis, Kratos will encounter a similar, but stronger enemy known as the Fates Guardian.
Fates Guardian
The Fates Guardians are one of the stronger minions of the Sisters of Fate. They are dressed in red armor, carry battle axes as weapons, and are more difficult to defeat. Also, like the Cursed Legionnaires, they must be first weakened to allow Kratos to grab them. The death moves that Kratos performs on the Fates Sentries may also be done to the Fates Guardians.
Counter-Attacks
At any time, Kratos can grab these enemies by pressing the Circle Button, and then press another button to perform one of the following kills:
- Circle + X = Kratos will stab the enemy, and infuse his blade with power, to launch it in the air.
- Circle + Circle = Kratos will stab the enemy in the chest multiple times (which gives Red Orbs with each stab), then rip off its arm and impale the creature in the face with the attached blade.
- Circle + Triangle = Kratos will slam the enemy to the ground, and twist its neck, breaking it.
- Circle + Square = Kratos will slam the enemy to the ground and then hurl it at a nearby enemy, which damages both of them.
- Circle (air) = If Kratos grabs a Sentry in mid-air, he will stab it in the chest, and throw it to the gruond, making it bounce, and allowing him to grab it again.
These same moves can be done on Fates Guardians, once weakened.
