In God of War II
On his way to the Island of Creation, Kratos comes to the mountainous Lair of Typhon. There he finds Prometheus chained in his torment, and Prometheus tells him his story of how he helped mankind but was then punished by Zeus. Prometheus begs Kratos to release him from his torment, so Kratos attempts, but Prometheus falls and ends up getting caught in a chain nuse over the flames. In order to free Prometheus, Kratos had to obtain the power of Typhon's Bane. Once he did, he used it to release Prometheus, and he burned to death in the Fires of Olympus. Upon his death, Gaia gave Kratos his ashes, giving him the Rage of the Titans power.
