Helios head

y" - Athena

Helios' Head is an item Kratos uses to light his path, or daze his enemies. It was aquired by taking, and therfore actually is, the head of Helios.

God of War III

The Head of Helios is the second item obtained in God of War III. It is acquired by shooting Helios when he is fighting Perses in the city of Olympia, defeating the Undead Legionnaires that protect Helios by riding the Cyclops, then defeating-and decapitating-Helios himself. The head emits a beam that can illuminate dark areas, functioning as a lantern of sorts. The beam can also reveal hidden objects, such as doors or chests. Such secrets are often given away by the presence of golden particles floating around them

When Helios' head shines on enemies, it temporarily blinds them, and does slight damage. Kratos can also charge the head in order to release a powerful burst of light that stuns and damages all enemies in the vicinity. This blast also illuminates the enemies themselves, eliminating the need to use the head itself until all affected foes are defeated. It is also used to remove the invisibility of Siren Seductress, and is integral to Kratos' defeat of Cronos. As with the rest of his equipment, the Head of Helios is discarded after Zeus' spirit ambushes Kratos in the ruins of Olympus.

It can be leveled up once for an increase in damage and a decrease in charge time.
