Note: Spoilers follow, obviously.
You’ve been warned.
Floating Orichalcum cubes can be moved with Herakles’s Strength, but non-floating cubes cannot.
Below are just my solutions.
With this first cube, activate it and move it up to the wall.
Then let go, and jump and climb up it.
The central mechanic of the Vault of Ares is the manipulation of Orichalcum cubes to reach unreachable platforms.
From the top you’re free to reach the next platform.
The third button summons another cube at the next level.
Hit both the cubes blocking the doorway to raise them out of the way, allowing you passage through.
The central mechanic of the Vault of Ares is the manipulation of Orichalcum cubes to reach unreachable platforms.
Don’t let that button below fool you into thinking you have to go down there.
Buttons like those will just spawn more cubes for you in case you run out.
From the next platform, again ignore the enemies below and jump over to the far cubes.
The five chains in the Vault of Ares must be destroyed by attacking the corruption areas connected to each chain.
From there, jump through the broken wall to the east, and onto the next floating cube.
Drop down, defeat the enemy, and collect the chest at the end.
Pull the nearest cube to you and deactivate it to place it on the pressure plate.
There is a hidden chest at the top of the giant archway. You’ll need to stack all three cubes to reach it.
Press this button to spawn three cubes.
You’ll only need two.
Activate any two of them.
One section of the Vault involves the use of air streams to direct cubes towards the next chain.
The next button again spawns three cubes.
For the final puzzle for this chain, press the final button to again spawn three cubes.
You’ll only need two.
The final chain must be accessed by rolling balls down unfinished ramps with the help of Orichalcum cubes.
Stack one atop the other.
but throw the top one slightly in front of you.
Grab the cube before it can disappear on you, and place it down on the pressure plate.
Kottos the All-Seeing is the boss fight at the end of the Vault of Ares, and he uses many unblockable attacks that must be dodged.
Go through the door, break the chain, and glide down to the statue once more.
Then reactivate them to get a boost upwards to reach the next stream.
Once you reach the end, place the cube on the next pressure plate.
Place the final cube on the final plate to remove the barrier to the next chain.
Break the chain and return to the statue.
Fly down and open it, then reach the top again.
Activate the nearest big cube and place it in the gap in the ramp before you.
Beyond that ramp there are two more floating cubes.
Deactivate both so they fall to the ground.
He’s got a lot of nasty unblockable attacks, so don’t attempt to parry this guy.
The worst move to watch out for is his roll.
The other dangerous move is his slam.
He’ll continuously pound the ground with his many fists, creating pools of red where you stand.
Don’t venture to dodge these, just keep running and you’ll evade them far more easily.
After killing Kottos, just head north up the stairs and retrieve Ares’s Essence!
And that’s everything you should probably know about perfecting the Vault of Ares!
