Long before Kratos became Ares' chosen one, he searched for Amborsia, which was going to be a cure for his sick daughter. While searching for the Amborsia, he encountered a Phoenix that originated from Hades. The Phoenix was a savage, and fiery fire beast. The God of Underworld intended to use the Phoenix for another person to find the Ambrosia. The fire beast was intelligent, and tried to discourage Kratos, But Kratos managed to kill off the beast with his sword.
