I'm at a part were I'm fighting with this witch in a round room and them, when i thought i killed her i go fight with this other witch on top of a sword. When i defit the witch she's locked inside this glass and while i'm fighting with the 1st witch from before she keeps appearing from inside the glass and throwing green fire on me. I can't get out of this part what do i do?? sometimes the witch stays on the floor with this green bubble around her, and the other witch still continues to blow at me, any help??

Answer 1

Here is a video walkthrough with a voiceover explaining how to beat this part (3rd battle with the Sisters of Fate).

I found this battle extremely difficult, too, but this video helped me immensely.

Here is the GoW2 main page of video walkthroughs in case you get stuck again:

Sometimes this site loads a bit slow, so if it takes a minute, be paitent. It will be well worth the wait!

Answer 2

i no it may seem long but i tried to remember everything i could this should get it done if this is the right part, if it isnt save it for later, but i am pretty certain this is the right part.

Prepare for one hell of a battle!

>> Attacks (Phase #1):

- Staff Combo: Lahkesis holds her staff to the side as green light glows from
the top. She floats toward Kratos and performs three strikes with her staff.
+ How to avoid: Block, roll, or deflect.

----------

- Energy Shot: Lahkesis holds her staff to the side as green light glows from
the top. She quickly fires an energy shot toward Kratos.
+ How to avoid: Roll or deflect. If you deflect, keep in mind that she can
reflect it right back at you and you can do the same until one character is
hit or dodges the attack.

----------

- Energy Shots: Lahkesis dodges through Kratos' attacks and moves to one side
of the platform. She holds back her staff and spins around then sends one
wave of three fireballs followed by another wave of fireballs.
+ How to avoid: Roll or deflect. Lahkesis will deflect these shots back just
like the other shots.

----------

- Energy Ball: Lahkesis dodges to the side while Kratos attack and leaves
behind an energy ball that explodes.
+ How to avoid: Block, roll, or deflect.

----------

- Energy Shockwave: Lahkesis hovers toward Kratos then flies into the air and
prepares her attack. She flies downward and plunges her staff into the
ground, making a small shockwave around her.
+ How to avoid: Roll.

Lahkesis only has two primary attacks from the start of the battle as well as a
few counter attacks. At close range, she will try to hit Kratos with her
three-hit staff combo and at a distance, she will try to shoot a green energy
shot at Kratos. Kratos cannot block the energy shot, but he can deflect it
right back at her and get a very good amount of blue and green orbs in return.
You should learn the timing since deflecting this move will pay off big time.
Lahkesis is not a total sucker though. She will actually deflect the energy
shot right back at you to which you can respond with another deflection. Both
of you can be locked in a battle of deflection until one loses, or the shot is
dodged on your behalf. She will also let loose a counter blast of three energy
shots at a time to which you can deflect, but keep in mind that she will still
deflect sometimes. Her counter moves are some of her most deadly attacks so be
sure to watch her while she dodges.

Attack her with whichever weapon you feel comfortable with and if you are good
at deflection, you can spam magic all you want to since you can always get some
back by deflecting her energy shots. All magic attacks except for the Head of
Euryale are useful during this battle.

Once she has been weakened she will mainly stick with her Energy Shockwave
attack as her primary attack. Watch for her to suddenly move toward you then
jump to the air. She will only hit the area below her, so just roll away from
her at that point to escape the attack. She will very rarely shoot a single
energy blast at this time and will mainly rely on only dodge moves and the
Energy Shockwave.

>> Attacks (Phase #2):

- Electric Floor: Lahkesis twirls her staff in front of her while flying then
strikes the floor with a green lightening bolt. This will electrify the
entire floor.
+ How to avoid: Grapple to any of the grapple points on the side of the room
and jump between them while avoiding her energy shots.

----------

- Downward Energy Shots: Lahkesis spins her staff while holding it upward and
unleashes energy shots that will rain down upon Kratos.
+ How to avoid: Roll or deflect. These can be deflected back at Lahkesis just
like any other energy shot.

When she releases orbs for the first time she will start to fly high in the
air. She will perform a whole new set of attacks at this time except for the
single hit energy shot. Her most deadly move at this stage is her electric
floor attack where she will electrify the whole floor. Grapple up to one of
the four grapple points found around the room. She will shoot energy shots
while you're grappled to a grapple point, so jump and grapple to the other
grapple points until the green glow fades away from the floor. You can jump
toward her and attack her as she shoots an energy shot then grapple back
without getting hit also (See Extra Note). One of the best ways to hit
Lahkesis during this phase is to deflect one of her energy shots at her. Keep
in mind that you can deflect the downward energy shots also. If it hits her,
she will fall to the ground and you will be free to wail on her as much as you
like until she recovers. Once she has been weakened enough to where the icon
appears over her head, you must grapple to the grapple point closest to her
then jump toward her and press the O button. A cutscene will begin once Kratos
delivers the final attack.

Extra Note: One way that I have found to totally take advantage of Lahkesis
while she flies is to grapple to a grapple point and wait for her to shoot an
energy shot. Right when she shoots, jump toward her and hit her with the /\
attack with the Athena's Blades then quickly grapple back when the move ends.
Do this again as she shoots the next fireball and keep doing it to get her in a
pattern that she will likely not break. She needs to be close in order for
this to work, but sometimes jumping toward her with a /\ attack from a grapple
point will lure her toward you.

This battle is just heating up!

>> Attacks:

- Energy Shots: Atropos shoots two energy shots toward Kratos from the
background. She will fire a single shot while up close. These shots will
follow Kratos until they hit a surface.
+ How to avoid: Roll or deflect.

----------

- Energy Beam: Atropos floats next to the platform and shoots electricity onto
the sword to make a slight energy field in front of her while she tries to
destroy the sword.
+ How to avoid: Deflect or stay away.

Atropos will start the battle by summoning Sentries to attack. The Sentries
will be your main source of magic during this battle and you will need magic in
order to attack Atropos since she will basically always fly in the distance.
Target her with Typhon's Bane and shoot her when the Sentries are not grouped
all over you. Deflect her energy shots just like you did with Lahkesis. She
won't release orbs from a deflection like her sister though. Keep in mind that
her energy shots will follow you until they hit something, either the platform,
you, or your blades through deflection.

She will sometimes fly toward the large sword that you are on and either shoot
a single energy shot or create an energy field in front of her in her attempts
to try to destroy the sword. You can really rack up the hits at this time with
a combo attack against her, but you can only perform jumping attacks while she
performs her energy field and that is usually what she moves toward the
platform to do. Pick up a Sentry and throw it at her with the [] button and
that will usually stop her from electrifying the sword.

She will cycle between the above two phases throughout the battle and will not
change. Use Typhon's Bane while she flies in the background and Cronos' Rage
whenever she gets close. Don't try for jump hits too often when she performs
her energy field attack or you will suffer damage. The main attacks you have
to watch out for are her energy shots since they will follow you. It's really
good to deflect them. Keep in mind that this is a timed battle and each time
she hits the sword with her electricity beams when she flies nearby it will
damage the sword. If she destroys the sword then the battle is over. When she
weakens, she will lean on the side of the large sword with an icon over her
head.

*******************************************************************************

* Kratos latches onto Atropos with his blades and tugs at her, but Atropos *

*******************************************************************************

Fun Fact: If Atropos manages to destroy the sword, an extra cutscene will take
place afterward that will change Kratos' fate.

Like I said, this is one hell of a battle!

>> Attacks (Atropos):

- Energy Shot: Atropos will fire a green energy shot towards Kratos. It
follows him a bit, but not as bad as the last round.
+ How to avoid: Roll or deflect.

----------

- Energy Beam: Atropos will start from one side and fire out an energy beam
then move it horizontally over the floor of the whole room.
+ How to avoid: Jump (double jump) or grapple. You can also stand by the wall
closest to her mirror on the opposite side of whatever side that she fires
the beam from. For instance, if she starts from the left, stand on the far
right side closest to the mirror.

Now Kratos is back in the Temple of the Fates with Lahkesis. Atropos is
trapped in another time where the past Kratos is about to defeat Ares. Atropos
can still attack during this battle however. She will be able to get half of
herself through the mirror and will shoot energy shots and fire a beam.
Atropos will retreat back into the mirror each time Kratos approaches the
mirror that she is attacking from. You can also deflect her energy shot back
at her to make her instantly retreat.

Lahkesis will have the same exact attacks as the last fight for this battle,
but she will alternate between flying and simply floating near the ground. You
need to go after Lahkesis first of all. Use Cronos' Rage to put a constant
hurt on her and do not let up with your attacks. Her life range for stunning
her is much shorter during this battle compared to the last. She will
eventually fall to the ground and lean over after taking enough damage. Notice
how her forehead glows at that time.

Quickly use the Amulet of the Fates as Lahkesis falls to the ground to slow
time and find the mirror that Atropos is hanging out of. Run toward the mirror
and attack Atropos as much as you can. She will fall over to the ground after
enough attacks and will retreat into the mirror at it cracks. Use constant
attacks once time resumes while the mirror is cracked to shatter the mirror
permanently. Fail to break the mirror in time and it will renew itself and you
will need to go through the whole sequence again.

Lahkesis will attack once again as the mirror breaks. Go back to wearing
Lahkesis down once again until she falls then quickly use the Amulet of the
Fates and find Atropos' mirror once again.

>> Attacks (after 2 mirrors are destroyed):

- Energy Pillars: Lahkesis summons electricity all around her then releases it
in flying pillars toward Kratos.
+ How to Avoid: Stand between the waves.

----------

- Energy Gust: Lahkesis summons electricity around her that will stay for a few
seconds.
+ How to Avoid: Stay away from her immediate area.

Once there is only one mirror left, Lahkesis will float over to it and stand in
front of it to protect the mirror. She will perform a few new attacks at this
time in an effort to guard the final mirror. Atropos will not attack at all
during this phase. Be sure to roll away from Lahkesis when she unleashes an
energy gust around her and it starts to stack up into pillars. She will
unleash several energy pillars at that time and you must stand in between them
in order to avoid them. She will also still shoot her energy shots, but she
will shoot more of them at a time. Reflect her energy shots from a distance to
help out in damaging her.

Lay out Cronos' Rage orbs near her and attack her from about mid range just in
case she performs her energy pillar move. You can also stand at a distance, in
between the waves, and fire Typhon's Bane - she will shoot energy shots at you
if you do this, but you can always deflect them. Once she falls, she will have
an icon over her head, so quickly tap the O button to start the Action
Sequence.

*******************************************************************************
* Action Sequence *
*******************************************************************************
* Kratos leans toward her and picks up her staff then [LEANS BACK] and hits *
* her on the back with it while she tries to get up. Kratos picks her up *
* and throw her to the middle of the room. Atropos crawls out from the *
* mirror behind Kratos and grabs him. Lahkesis recovers then readies her *
* staff. Kratos [NOTICES] the attack and quickly breaks out of Atropos' *
* grip and grapples to the side grapple point as Lahkesis flies toward *
* Atropos and stabs her with the staff. Kratos [SWINGS] toward Lahkesis *
* and grabs her then holds her and [STABS] her directly in the forehead *
* with his blade. Kratos pulls out his blade then pushes her into the *
* mirror to join her sister. *
*******************************************************************************

Now that both sisters are in the mirror, you must break it to end the fight.
The interesting aspect about this part of the battle is that you can take all
the time you want to gloat in your victory before breaking the mirror. The
mirror is broken and they cannot fix it. Go get yourself a soda and take a
restroom break while the game remains unpaused then come back and shatter the
mirror to end the battle.
