Explore the Combat Arena and Temple of Zeus in God of War: Sons of Sparta. Learn about unlockables, costs, and how to farm Red Orbs.

Walkthrough

    Access the Combat Arena to customize enemy types, counts, health, attack settings, and respawn (on/off) options, along with Kratos's health, magic, and costume, and the arena backdrop and difficulty.
  2. 2
    Visit the Temple of Zeus to spend your Red Orbs on various unlockables.
  3. 3
    Purchase all unlockables to access a secret path via the statue of Zeus to obtain the final hidden collectible, the Gravedigger's Shovel.
Tips
  • To farm Red Orbs quickly, utilize the Combat Arena.
  • The King's Ring is recommended for all Red Orb farming attempts.
  • The God Armor costume provides a special effect for earning more orbs.
  • The Horn of Boreas can freeze and shatter clustered enemies.
