Highlight to read...

There's a small part of the story I don't understand. It's when you pull some levers and losen some chains, and there's a small cutscene showing a Titan being loosened.
Then, just after, Kratos sees the broken chains of Atlas and comments "Who would release such evil?"
It seems like he pulls these chains, frees Atlas, and then ponders in disgust who would do such a thing...
Hope there's enough information for someone to figure what I'm talking about

Ps. Can you tell from my influx of posts that I finally got around to playing the game this weekend? Passed it all in one day, plus an hour or two the night before. Just as I planned.

You raise a very good point here, it does appear that Kratos releases Atlas...Hmmmmmm.

Arikardo

he didnt loosen the chains of atlas...it was hyperion...he just moved them so he could get to his next spot. No story or plot point there.

Why Hyperion? Does he ever get free?
It's odd that it shows a Titan getting lose that has no relation to anything. Maybe it is that Cronos.

Ps. I NEED Shadow of the Colossus.

hyperion is the titan that you loosen but doesnt go anywhere. The way you know this is the save point right next to the viewable titan is titled something like "Hyperion, a fallen titan". Also, Breaking the chains around the stage doesnt mean anything. You could go thru that whole part not breaking the chains in tartarus and you'd still get the same result. its just there for more stuff for you to break. We all know atlas was freed by persephone. At no point did Kratos help atlas in this game.

The chains give you red orbs. They're like the petrified people in the caves, and the other stuff you can break just for orbs.

Im sticking to Cronos its the only logical explanation.

kratos did not free anybody. If you go back and play god of war 1 it will tell you that all titans were banished to tartarus except kronos, who was forced by zeus to carry the temple of pandora on his back wandering the desert until it killed him. Cronos has nothing to do with this game. In this game...you only see 2 titans....the one chained up...hyperion, and atlas. Thats it.

Kratos only loosened Hyperion's chains so he could progress. Kratos did not free any Titans. Atlas was freed by Persephone and later recaptured by Kratos and forced to hold the world on his shoulders. Chronos was never banished to Tartarus. His punishment was to wander the desert of lost souls carrying the temple of Pandora until the sand stripped the flesh from his bones

that clear it all up?

the game did not mention hyperion in the storyline...but like i said a few posts ago...the save point right next to the titan mentions his name. Every time you save, there is a title for the save spot...the title for this save spot is something like hyperion, fallen titan.
