Thera's Bane
“Free me. Free me and my power will be yours. Without it we will both remain prisoners of our torments.” - Thera
Thera’s Bane is a new ability that Kratos acquires in God of War: Ghost of Sparta. He rips this power from the chest of the Titan Thera as he frees her from her prison beneath the volcano of Atlantis. It has the ability to engulf the Blades of Athena in fire, increasing their damage and allowing Kratos to destroy the shields and armour of various creatures. Thera's Bane can also be used to open damaged doors by placing a Searing Core in the center of the door, causing an explosion.
Thanatos and Erinys wore armour that rendered them invulnerable to all attacks. Kratos was only able to defeat them by using this ability against them to destroy their shielding.
