With Poseidon's Trident in his possession, Kratos dives and swims through a passage in the center pool of Pandora's Temple, which brings him to the Challenge of Hades. This is the third and final challenge of the temple's lower levels. In the end, he fights and defeats a gigantic armored Minotaur called Pandora's Guardian. Upon defeating the beast, Kratos enters the tomb of the Architect's second son and takes his skull. After that, just before leaving, Hades appears to Kratos, and gives him the Army of Hades ability.
