The Three Judges
The three giant stone Judges hold down the chain with iron resolve, and the only way to loosen their grasp is to destroy them. The underworld inhabitants prepare a nice welcoming party for the arriving Spartan: an enraged Cerberus and a couple of Satyrs (these guys join a bit later). Each head of the three-headed dog must be severed before the Cerberus truly dies. The Satyrs make this a little difficult, but they can be mostly ignored while you focus on the hellhound. The Cerberus attacks by spitting out smaller dogs and charging. Kratos can spend a lot of time at its flank, where it is more prone to a savage beating. Cut up the mutt and the Satyrs to drop the gates.
Step on the circular platform and take the portal, which takes Kratos to a familiar area. Head to the left and locate the Onyx lionhead (?) statue for a beating. Apparently these are the only things holding up the Judges, and without them the Judges slump over like rag dolls. There are three total. After the first one is destroyed, Sirens and dogs storm the scene. Mop the floor with them and proceed on toward the right of the screen. The second Onyx is within sight, but a few enemies stand in the way. After dealing with them and the second Onyx, run through the tunnel and shine Helios' light at the gold speckles outside the tunnel to find the last Minotaur Horn. By now--as long as you've been following the walkthrough--you should've collected all the upgrades!
Continuing on, Kratos meets more bad guys, and the final Onyx stone lies on a platform just below. Reach it by climbing down the vine wall. With all the Judges down, nothing resists the pull of the Labyrinth, except for the Onyx casings surrounding the base of the chain. Go ahead and hammer away at them to break the chain free. Now what comes down must eventually go up (wait…that's not how the saying goes…). Kratos rides an updraft back to the surface and must dodge falling debris and obstructions on the way.
