Within moments, the Barbarians were eliminated by the powers of the God of War. Before Alrik could deliver the final blow to the young Captain, Kratos called upon Ares. Standing atop a hill of dead bodies, he looked into the eyes of Alrik as he raised his large hammer to end Kratos’ life. The Barbarians showed no mercy to the Spartans, leaving their dead bodies filling the battlefield.Įven Kratos, who fought against Alrik himself, was no match for the wrath of this enemy. The furious Kratos called out to his men and led them into combat. Alrik began the battle by launching an arrow into the face of a single Spartan soldier. Kratos, gazing upon the massive army, realized this was an unwinnable battle. Even with the superior combat skills of the Spartans, the Barbarians numbered in the thousands. Alrik, as the new Barbarian King, then vowed vengeance on Kratos.ĭuring his conquest, Kratos overcame his most powerful and ruthless opponents, until he encountered the Barbarians from the east yet again. As the Barbarian left for his home, he found his dead father's body being cremated. As Alrik lay bruised, bloodied, and near-death, Hades healed him and commanded him to slay the Spartan who denied him victory in the wager. Kratos then flew away on a Roc to Sparta, taking the Ambrosia with him and leaving Alrik to his fate. As the spilled Ambrosia healed Alrik, Kratos took the head of Danaus and commanded more Rocs to slash away at Alrik. The battle then took to the ground, as Kratos tackled Alrik over the Roc. Kratos and Alrik then met up with each other, and fought for the Ambrosia, spilling some on themselves in their struggle.

Kratos then flew on a surviving Roc to catch up with Alrik, at the cost of his own men. Kratos then slew the Rocs that were torturing him, yet Hades had then sent many devilish arms in order to kill the Spartans. Alrik then flew away, clutching the Ambrosia in his hand. He then used the head to command a massive army of Rocs to tear the Spartans apart. In their battle, Alrik unleashed the head of Danaus, who he revealed to be a commander of animals.

The Barbarians then encountered the Spartans, and fought them after the latter's leader acquired the Ambrosia. Alrik and his Barbarians then discovered that a warrior named Kratos and his Spartan army was searching for the Ambrosia as well, resolving to destroy them shortly after. In his journey, he encountered Danaus, Hermes' champion, but decapitated him with haste and pressed on. The God Hades chose Alrik as his champion, who went on a quest for Ambrosia after his father fell ill (Hades secretly placed this disease on him). A contest was created by a few of the Gods of Olympus, where they choose mortals to be their champions, with the ultimate goal being the capture of the healing elixir known as Ambrosia.
