Vault Of Ares Guide
In this guide, I'll be walking you through the Vault of Ares in Immortals Fenyx Rising. Getting to this vault requires the Jaws Of War quest. Ares gives you this quest after you discover War's Den (the bottom right portion of the map).
Enter the vault and activate the first switch you come to. Grab the pomegranate if you're low on health. When the switch is activated a large cube will appear in front of it. Strike it with your sword or axe. This will cause the cube to light up and float allowing you to use Hercules Strength to carry it. Move it to the wall, strike it again, and use it to get on top of the wall.
Continue along the path until you can carefully drop down to the platform below and activate the next switch. Two cubes will appear this time. Climb onto the first and strike the second with an arrow to activate it. Jump onto the second, now floating, cube. Use Hercules Strength to pull one of the many already floating cubes closer. Let go, double jump on top of the third cube, and jump to the next platform
Hit the next switch, strike the cube that appears with an arrow, and pull it to yourself. Prepare to throw the cube back at the platform it came from but aim at the middle of the wall instead. Throw it, double-jump on top of it, and proceed to the platform above. Strike the two cubes blocking the path allowing you access to the doorway.
After the cut scene, smash the red rock with your axe and watch one of the chains disappear. Follow the chain to the bottom right corner of the room and climb the floating cubes. Continue on the path, ignoring the chain for now. Activate the next switch and receive three cubes this time. Ideally, you will be able to throw the cubes across the gap and line them up like a bridge. However, if that doesn't work you can toss one halfway across, use the other two cubes to jump across to the first cube, and glide to the platform from there. The next one is very similar but this time you'll need to toss the cubes to create paths between the broken platforms. Once you've made it across there is a chest atop the arched column. Pull the two large cubes over and use them as stairs to climb to the top and snag the chest.
Glide off the column, activate the switch, and, once again throw the cubes to create a pathway. Be sure to bring one of the large cubes along and place it on the pressure plate. Move forward, destroy the chain, and glide back to the main chamber.
Continue clockwise (Bottom left corner of the room) until you reach a platform filled with enemies. As if our life wasn't hard enough. Drop down and defeat them. Activate the next switch when you're done and use the boxes that appear to climb up to the next platform. You may need to pull them around if you can't reach one with a double jump. Continue and find more enemies. Drop down and take them out. Head into the first room, eliminate the enemies, then do the same in the second room. Go through the right doorway to find a chest.
Go through the right doorway to find a chest.
Once all enemies have been dealt with go across the way (the left doorway), grab the floating cube, and use it to get to the next platform. Bring it over, drop it on the pressure plate, and go break that third chain.
Next up is the top left corner of the room. climb up the boxes and follow the path to an air vent activate the button to make a cube appear in front of the vent. Follow behind it or ride on the cube until you've made it across. Take it to the left side of the platform. Use it to climb up onto the taller platform for a chest. Then drop it onto the pressure plate. Do the same thing with the next two and break the fourth chain.
Onto our last chain, climb the cubes in the top right corner of the room and follow the path. Activate the switch and a metal ball will materialize on the ramp. Unfortunately, Houston we have a problem. The ramp is broken and the ball will fall onto the area below. Not to worry though, we have cubes. Drop down off the ramp and head right, activate the switch, and get a cube! Strike it and carry it between the broken parts of the ramp. Strike it again to ground it and climb back up to the first switch. Activate it and the ball should roll right across the cube now.
Head to the next Phoenix symbol on the floor. Veer off the right, next to the pomegranate, and glide to the chest. Return to the top either by falling off the edge or climbing up via the platform across from the chest. This section has two broken ramps that will need the large cubes and two sections with no wall that need the small cubes to block the ball from falling. After you've put them in place and let the spheres settle in their slots, proceed and break the last chain.
Head back to the main chamber where you'll find Kottos The All-Seeing come to life now that his chains are broken. You'll need to defeat him before you can get the essence. Watch out for his rolling attacks and earthquakes. This battle is best fought with arrows, Phosphor, and swift attacks. Keep that dodge button handy. After you manage to beat him, you can finally go get Ares' Essence only for it to be stolen from you at the last second. After you did all the work for it too.
