Alright, I haven't beaten the other two games, but I have beaten this one. I understand the storyline for this game:

Well this game takes place before GoW1.

It sort of was devil link, but that was just for the beginning I think.

I thought he just kinda turned up in Elysum. I mean, he's on the chariot that kinda just went crazy, and he jumps off into Hades, and then eventually just turns up there.

I thought he had to go to Elysium to have himself purified, and to find his daughter. Then he saw Pershphione there?

Chains of Olympus storyline: Helios has disappeared and the Gods ask kratos to find him and bring him back before Morpheus takes control. Along the way kratos journeys through hades and finds that the Titan Atlas has been released from his chains in Tartarus. While in hades he meets the Goddess Persephone who reveals to him the way into the Elysium fields where Kratos' daughter resides. Once he has given up his powers Persephone reveals that it was she who released atlas and kidnapped Helios. Kratos forsakes his daughter to save the world by becoming the Ghost of Sparta again. He then kills Persephone and enchains Atlas on top of the now broken pillar that held the world (Atlas must now hold it on his shoulders).

God of War storyline: Kratos seeks forgiveness from the Gods for the deeds of his past as the Ghost of Sparta. Athena tells him that he must complete one last task and he will be free. She sends him on a quest to kill his former master Ares the God of War. The Oracle of Athens reveals the location of Pandora's box, the strongest weapon a mortal can wield. Kratos sets out across the desert of lost souls where he finds the Titan Chronos who has been forced by Zeus to carry Pandora's temple on his back. Kratos enters the temple and makes his way through it until he finds Pandora's box. Far away in Athens Ares knows that Kratos has found the box. He throws a broken pillar which impales Kratos just as he is leaving the temple. As Kratos fades away into death the minions of Ares carry the box back to their master. Kratos doesn't give up though. He fights his way out of Hades and confronts the God of War. Using the power contained in Pandora's box Kratos is able to kill Ares and take his place on Olympus as the God of War.

God of War II storyline: Kratos is now the God of War. But during a battle between the Spartan army and the city of Rhodes Zeus sabotages Kratos and kills him out of fear of the same prophecy that haunted his father Chronos. The Titans find Kratos as he enters Hades and encourage him to seek vengeance on the Gods who betrayed him. Kratos once again fights his way out of hades and sets off on a quest to gain an audience with the Sisters of Fate. while on the island he encounters others who seek the sisters (some old foes return) and kills them all to further his progress. He finally encounters the Sisters who refuse to grant him his wish of changing his fate. Kratos kills the Sisters and assumes control of the Threads of Life. He returns to the time when Zeus betrayed him and attacks Zeus. Just as Kratos is about to strike the final blow Athena interferes and Kratos accidentally stabs her with the Blade of Olympus (which holds the power he once wielded as the God of War). As she is dying Athena reveals to Kratos that Zeus is his father. Kratos uses the power of the Sisters to travel back in time once more. He travels back to the Great War between the Gods and the Titans. he rescues the Titans just as Zeus is attempting to banish them to Tartarus. He is last seen on Gaea's back as the Titans climb Mount Olympus to attack the remaining Gods.

That fill in the blanks for you Jesh?

You forgot Prologue:

what?

<sub>What he did was put the spoiler in the mark up. You can't do that, it needs to be separate from it. I figured it out the first time using the new spoiler thing. Just quote his thing and get rid of the spoiler to read.

Ville Jesh He was meant to go to the Elysium fields to stop the titan. After fighting the guy on the ship the second time, it directed him to the way where he needs to go, then he saw Persephone which asked him he can be with his daughter if he gave up his powers, but then realized that he needed to save the world from being destroyed, which included the Elysium fields. So he had to choose saving the world, or dying with his daughter. Which the rest explains it self.</sub>
