Defeat Thanatos in God of War: Sons of Sparta Part 12

Walkthrough

1
In the first stage, Kratos must dodge Thanatos' downward slash. When Thanatos flies off, Deimos should throw his spear to bring him down, staggering him. Assist Kratos when Thanatos grabs either character.
2
In the second stage, Thanatos attacks with orbs that must be reflected back at him to stagger him. Approach and use the Fire Blades (Hold R1) to break his left arm's armor. Dodge his arena-wide swipe when he recovers. Repeat the staggering process with normal blades until he transforms back to humanoid form.
3
In the third stage, Thanatos becomes more aggressive, using wing slams (dodge) and a three-strike combo (deflect first, block second, dodge third). He will eventually transform again.
4
In the fourth stage, reflect orbs to stagger Thanatos, then attack his arm. When he recovers, he will either swipe the arena or slam the ground. Jump over the ground slam and dodge the swipe. Repeat this pattern until a QTE appears.
5
In the final stage, Kratos must attack while dodging Thanatos' transformed attacks: arena swipes and ground slams. Dodge the swipes and jump over the shockwaves from the slams. Continue attacking until Thanatos staggers. Perform a QTE to force him back into humanoid form, then complete the final QTEs to defeat him.
