The Rage of Sparta appears as the new rage ability in God of War III. When the rage is active, Kratos can use only the Blade of Olympus. In rage mode, Kratos' attacks and overall speed become faster, his defense rate increases, and his attacks deal much more damage. The camera zooms in slightly, and all colors become unsaturated, except for Kratos' tattoo and the blade which glow blue and the tattoo glow red. The Blade of Olympus is received in the depths of Hades, after Kratos lost it when he fell off Gaia.
