Wrath of the Titans
Ten years after defeating Hades' Kraken, Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus, now lives as a fisherman with his son Heleus, after the death of his wife Io. Zeus visits Perseus, warning him that, since humans stopped praying to them, the gods are losing their powers and becoming mortal. They can no longer sustain the walls of Tartarus which are holding back the imprisoned Titan Kronos with him. Perseus, valuing his family's safety, refuses to help.
Zeus meets his brothers Hades and Poseidon and his son Ares in Tartarus. He asks Hades for help in rebuilding Tartarus' walls, but Hades rejects the offer and attacks Zeus, as does Ares. Poseidon is fatally injured in the ensuing fight. Hades and Ares imprison Zeus, stealing his thunderbolt. They plan to make a deal with Kronos: in exchange for remaining immortal, they will drain Zeus' divine power to revive Kronos. The walls of Tartarus break, unleashing monsters onto the world.
After killing a two-headed Chimera in his village, Perseus decides to see Zeus. He instead finds a dying Poseidon who informs him of the situation and tells him to find his demigod son Agenor, who will lead him to Hephaestus, who knows the way into Tartarus. Poseidon then gives Perseus his trident and succumbs to his injuries. Perseus, Andromeda and Agenor set out to find Hephaestus on a hidden island.
Agenor explains that Hephaestus created three weapons which Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon wield: Zeus' thunderbolt, Hades' pitchfork, and Poseidon's trident, which can jointly form the Spear of Trium, the only weapon that can defeat Kronos. After an encounter with three Cyclopes, the travelers eventually meet the now-mortal Hephaestus and reach the entrance of a labyrinth leading to Tartarus. Hephaestus sacrifices himself during an attack by Ares to enable Perseus, Andromeda, and Agenor to enter the labyrinth. Inside the labyrinth, a Minotaur attacks Perseus, who kills it.
The group eventually enters Tartarus. Meanwhile, Zeus has been almost entirely drained of power as Kronos awakens. Zeus apologizes to Hades for banishing him to the underworld and asks his forgiveness, as he has forgiven Hades for his actions. Hades decides to help Zeus and stop Kronos in contrast to Ares. Perseus arrives and frees Zeus. Ares wounds Zeus with Hades' pitchfork, allowing Perseus to obtain it before he and the others escape Tartarus with Zeus.
Aiming to retrieve Zeus' thunderbolt from Ares in order to defeat Kronos, Perseus challenges him to a duel. Meanwhile, Andromeda's army is overwhelmed by the Makhai. Hades revives Zeus and together they defeat the creatures. Kronos appears and begins to attack Andromeda's army. Zeus and Hades hold off Kronos while Perseus duels Ares, eventually killing him with the thunderbolt. Combining the gods' weapons into the Spear of Trium, Perseus destroys Kronos by traveling to his heart and throwing the spear into it.
Zeus reconciles with Perseus and then dies of his wounds and Hades leaves, accepting mortality. Heleus tells his father that he wants to return to his life as a fisherman, but Perseus tells him they cannot, and encourages Heleus to be proud of himself, as he is the son of Perseus and the grandson of Zeus, with Perseus giving his sword to Heleus.
