Template:Infobox gods"Have mercy, Lord Kratos. Don't do this, I beg of you! Why? Why have the gods forsaken me?"- Lanaeus
Lanaeus was a man who Kratos encounted while inside the Methana Volcano.
In God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Lanaeus is a servant to Poseidon, who is charged with maintaining the machinery that supports the volcano and Atlantis. He is featured as the instigator of the Automaton mini-boss fight in Ghost of Sparta.
Shortly after having battled Scylla, Kratos runs into Lanaeus and his men, who are working to keep the geared supports stabilized. Making his way past them, Kratos finds a door leading to Thera, only to be threatened by Lanaeus not to open it, as it would unleash the mountain's fury, undoing all of his work, which would be destroyed, but his words fell on deaf ears. Releasing Thera, Kratos actions' caused the mountain to fall apart, being consumed by the unstoppable lava. Infuriated, Lanaeus cursed Kratos for undoing the years of work he had spent by erecting the supports of the city and keeping the volcano dormant. Seeking revenge, Lanaeus activated one of the metallic statues onto Kratos, known as the Automaton. Vulnerable only to Thera's Bane, the Automaton eventually succumbed to Kratos' attacks and was destroyed, releasing the Automaton Gear for Kratos to use as a key on the nearby door.
Later in his quest, Kratos found himself returning to the now sunken city of Atlantis. There, he found a helpless Lanaeus, calling out for aid, along with a disfunctional Automaton, that had electrocuted the surrounding water. With no other options left, Kratos hung from the ceiling, climbing forward. Seeing the Spartan get ever closer, Lanaeus warned him to stay back and pulled the switch, which closed the gate. Quickly finding an alternate route, Kratos made his way onto a safe platform, and attacked Lanaeus with his spear. This made Lanaeus fall back into the water, thus killing him from electrocution. Kratos then descended onto the platform, destroyed the last remaining Automaton, aqcuired his gear, and ventured forth into the nearby hallway.
While alive, Lanaeus was very proud of his work, having called himself "the lord of the mountain".
