Use it to help complete missions and guide the Spartan around levels. Rage Bar Enemy Health Bar ARROWS This counter tells you how many arrows you have left. It is only displayed when the Spartan's bow is drawn. POWER OF THE GODS Radar/Compass The Power of the Gods can be used in conjunction with any of the Spartan's weapons, including the shield. HEALTH BAR Look out for green shrines to refill your health bar. Some defeated enemies will drop green orbs, which will also replenish your health. POWER OF THE GODS Pray at the blue power shrines or collect blue orbs from defeated opponents to increase your power. Each use drains the Power from the Spartan, so praying at shrines or harvesting the souls of the dead is essential for replenishing his powers. RAGE BAR In addition to the Power of the Gods, the Spartan can strengthen his attacks when this bar is full. Rage builds up with each successful hit on an enemy, and when fully charged, powerful moves can be executed by clicking and holding L and either of the attack buttons. Both the Rage Bar and the current weapon being used will glow when you are ready to start a Rage Move. Check out the controls on page 10. 10 11 Spartan xbx manual 2 10/20/05 12:35 PM Page 12 Weapons As the Spartan progresses in his journey through the game, he will obtain different weapons that can be added to his inventory.

The shield forms a critical part of defensive and offensive moves, and it is essential to become skilled with the shield in order to advance through the story. All the weapons can be charged up for Rage and Power moves. Ancient Artefacts BOMBS: Look for bombs placed around the level. They will not always be in obvious places, and may even be hidden inside other objects. If you are having trouble finding a way forward a path may be revealed once these explosives have been used. He is confident in his own ability to conquer any obstacle and is certain of Sparta's invincibility.
