After surviving the Bone Crusher, Kratos reaches this room, where he learns that he must find the ashes of the Phoenix, and drop them into the chamber's fires to awaken the creature. The entire area has huge lava pits, with multiple areas belching out fire blasts to kill any who try to enter. Additionally, spike traps are utilized to prevent progress; and there are also hordes of Hades Legionnaires, Harpies, reanimated skeletons and Hades Minotaurs, which Kratos has to fight.
