God of War Sons of Sparta Quest List and Goal Guide

Quest List by Goal Category

The God of War Sons of Sparta quest list includes story goals, Adventures, Conquests, temple objectives, and collection tasks. Knowing which category an objective belongs to helps you separate your next assignment from a challenge that takes much of the game to finish. Use the checklist below to find named goals, then follow the specific quest and exploration tips further down.

Opening Goals

• Sparta Calls
• The Sculptor's Assignment

The opening brings Kratos and Deimos back to Sparta before sending them after the sculptor’s stolen chisels. During that assignment, you begin enhancing the bust and using its abilities to investigate the trail.

The final main story quest is With it or on it. Follow the main quest marker on your map whenever you want to return to the story.

Adventures

• Never Caught Stealing
• A Boy's Belongings

Conquests

• The Ephor Trials
• The Rotten Nests

Temples of Olympus

• Honor Apollo
• Honor Hestia

Temple offerings improve Kratos’s capabilities. Apollo’s offerings strengthen the Dory, while Hestia’s increase maximum magic.

The Lexicon

• A Collection of Knowledge

Landmarks

• Lands of Laconia — explore all 21 regions of Laconia.
• In Full Bloom
• Sight to Behold

Artifacts

• The Royal Family
• Creations of Clay

These categories cover different kinds of progress, so an unfinished collection goal can remain on your checklist while you continue the main adventure.

Side Quests and Turn-Ins to Finish

Some optional objectives involve returning to a character after finding an item or defeating enemies. Keep those return visits on your checklist.

The Escaped

Start The Escaped by speaking with the apes in the Passage of Monuments. The objective requires finding and defeating 5 cyclops.

Activate Vermilion Globes while exploring and check each region’s item list to help organize your search alongside other unfinished activities.

Return the Treasure Map

Defeat The Katergaris in The Splintered Peak during the story to receive the Treasure Map. Bring it back to the Kerkopes in the Laconian Woods to unlock Rightful Owners.

Make the return trip after obtaining the map so the hand-in does not get buried beneath later objectives.

Bring the Cats Back to Circe

Collect Circe’s scattered cats and return them to her on the Isle of Aeaea. Circe provides gear upgrades in exchange for helping recover them.

Check your regional lists for Forgotten Felines while working through other collection tasks.

Speak to Amara After the Story

Kratos receives the coat during With it or on it. After finishing the main story, return to Amara in Sparta for the related trophy.

Ephor Trials and Muse Chambers

The Ephor Trials and Muse Chambers have separate completion requirements. Track each set individually during cleanup.

Complete All 9 Ephor Trials

Find the Ephor Trials altar on the left side of the Gallery region, interact with it, and select the trials.

For Battle Tested, complete all 9 trials. Meeting the lowest time requirement is enough; you do not need to satisfy every additional time or skill condition.

Repeat the Ruination Ephor trial if you need more Blood Orbs for skills. Buy skills at a campsite through the Learn menu.

Unlock the Muse Chambers

The Muse Chambers are on the second floor of The Sanctuary. Story boss victories unlock access to them:

Chamber	Required Boss Victory	Challenges
Muse Chamber #1	Ioke	3
Muse Chamber #2	Ponea	3
Muse Chamber #3	Apate	3

After finishing every chamber challenge, take the Sanctuary elevator to the top floor. Exit left, continue forward, and head upstairs to unlock Amusing.

Feats to Track Alongside Quests

Feats record ongoing combat, exploration, and collection milestones. They are divided into Well Rounded, Routine Training, and Fatal Demise, with Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum reward tiers.

Use these selected targets to track activities you can advance while completing quests:

Feat	Objective	Final Target
Box of Bounty	Open Armoury Depots	15
Dead on Target	Destroy Solar Sling targets	9
Ironclad	Collect Iron Bars	20
Like a Charm	Collect Gouri	36
Paid in Full	Activate Vermilion Globes	20
Mass Destruction	Break world objects	5,000
Like Clockwork	Parry attacks with Spartan Deflect	250
The Exterminator	Kill enemies	1,000

Routine Training also tracks named attacks, including Nightfall, Sky Impact, and Vanguard. Fatal Demise tracks kills by enemy type.

Work the relevant attacks into ordinary fights and break objects along your route to advance those counters during exploration.

How to Find Objectives and Revisit Blocked Routes

Open the map and press Square to display the regional item list. Use it to identify unfinished activities before searching an entire area again.

Vermilion Globes reveal regional points of interest in exchange for Blood Orbs. Activate them to make nearby collection work easier to organize.

Several other tools help with quest cleanup:

• Place custom markers with distinct symbols and colors at blocked routes.
• Return after upgrading the Bust of Licurgus. Its story upgrades include abilities for revealing hidden objects and removing harmful gas.
• Use Gifts of Olympus on environmental targets. Some puzzles require a specific ability.
• Strike suspicious walls. Breakable walls and illusions can conceal passages and rewards.
• Find campsites to save, recover, learn skills, and enhance equipment.
• Unlock Crossings of Olympus at temples to travel between crossings you have already activated.

For collectible hunting, obtain and equip the Jewel of Ziteo Gouri from The Gallery when you have 7,500 red orbs. It pings nearby secrets and collectibles. Accessibility settings can also highlight interactable objects, including collectibles, in a different color.

What to Leave for Postgame Cleanup

You can revisit every area after completing the story, and there are no missable trophies. Collect what you can during the campaign, mark obstacles that require later abilities, and return with your expanded moveset.

For trophy cleanup, focus on the objectives tied to equipment parts, Gouri, lore, artifacts, Vermilion Globes, Olive Tree Battles, and challenge completion. Every Blood Coffer and Supply Chest is not required for Platinum, so use the regional checklist selectively if trophies are your goal.

Keep the game updated before tackling Battle Tested and Like a Charm. Patch 1.005.000 fixed tracking problems that could prevent those trophies from unlocking on earlier versions.
