Design:

For her Elemental form

She could be a “mermaid”

But instead of having a mermaid fin, she could have Kraken tentacles, lobster pinchers, crab legs, etc

She could have a crown made of megalodon shark teeth,

As for her body

It could combine stunning beauty with brutality

She could have pale skin with blue tattoos that glow a ghostly neon blue when she’s mad

She could be topless

she could a gorget made of blackened ship timbers

she could have solid milky eyes

She could have pulsing gills on her ribs she could use to spray water

Personality:

Instead of Poseidon who’s an arrogant moron who thinks he’s a warrior and is blinded by rage, and is fighting for his own ego but pretending he’s a hero

She could be manipulative

And could be fighting to save the sea, and could try to manipulate kratos into staying away from it (which would likely not work)

Dialogue:

She could try to knock some sense into kratos and tell him to stop his mass destruction and telling him humanity and the ocean will suffer

Kratos could pause and hesitate for a moment

But Oceanus (her father) Would just shrug it off as bullshit and cowardice and knock some sense into kratos, He wouldn’t care about humanity or her slaves, he just wants his old job back

Fight:

Phase 1:

Kratos is fighting her slaves while she tries to strike him from afar with a bone-whip in her normal humanoid form

She could also be using her trident to control the tides to shake kratos off

She could use illusions of kratos’s family and siren voices to slow him down or creep him out

this would end with kratos killing her slaves ignoring her illusions and siren voice for a while

they could fight on Oceanus’s body, where he may try to crush the slaves like annoying insects

Phase 2:

She could use some of her slaves again, but instead of just humanoid goons, she could have mini Leviathans, mini hydras, Etc,

She could could use her pinchers to try to snap kratos

She could use her tentacles to spray him with ink and blind him

She could try to blind him with her water spraying gills

And she could use her trident to control the tide and shake them off

They could be on a sinking ship Amphitrite may try to tilt to shake kratos off

Oceanus could use his Strength to stop pin or stop the tentacles and crab pinchers

He could also try to stabilize the ship and prevent kratos from falling

Phase 3:

eventually kratos would destroy all her tentacles and crab pinchers, leaving her elemental form as just a mermaid queen

and then he would snatch her trident from her, leaving her somewhat defenseless

Then Oceanus could seal away or destroy her elemental form

then as she gets kncoked into her stunning normal form, instead of being toxic and arrogant like Poseidon’s, she could try to beg for mercy, But kratos would deny her

Execution:

kratos could rip her torso open with her own trident and pull out her heart,

Consequence: Amphitrite is the heart of the seas, since she’s dead, the sea could proceed to blacken and be uninhabitable

what do y’all think?

I feel like this is not said enough, but Persephone and atlas have bad character writing in chains of olympus

Starting with Persephone

For starters, Her plan is ridiculous

She is destroying all of reality just to escape a bad marriage

What’s even the point of her revenge on the gods if nobody will ever know about it and everybody If dead and all of Greek reality is gone

If Persephone really wanted to die, she could have just politely asked Atlas to kill her, all atlas would have to do is squish her like a bug with his massive arm

The way she failed is also stupid,

When kratos was with his daughter, all Persephone had to do was just walk away and let atlas continue smashing the pillar

But nope, she told kratos about it, which and fled kratos up the pillar for them to battle, which led to can you guess, it? Her being defeated

And another thing, why did she not just unchain atlas when kratos chained him if that was what prevented the world from dropping which was her goal? She instead just continued getting her ass kicked by kratos

And she honeslty is wasted as a character,

Next there is Atlas

Gow COO literally wrecks him as a character

In gow2, atlas is a powerful and formidable general who almost killed kratos 2 petrified and severely scarred fingers

In Gow COO: Atlas is Persephone’s mindless hound on a leash

And the “leash” is atlas’s own idiocy and submissiveness

To capture Helios, he would have needed to descend to the surface, based on his gow2 personality if he did get to the surface, a logical thing he would do is plot another rebellion againts Zeus, but nope, instead, he went back to the underworld to help collapse reality

This literally goes againts his gow2 personality, like why would he do that?

It’s illogical for him to go from this Mindless slave of Persephone in Gow COO right back to his normal general self in Gow 2,

And another thing, When kratos chained him to the pillar, why did he not just, not apply force to hold the world? Then the world would be dropped

It’s strange, and doesn’t really make any sense, It makes him look like a mindless brute even more

Other related characters:
Hades

Hades for whatever reason, is nowhere were to be found in the game, which is stupid because he is the ruler of the underworld, you think he wouldn’t notice Persephone and atlas’s plan? If this were realistic to gow3/gow2 atlas, hades would catch them immediately, unless maybe atlas defeated hades before this (he probably could do that tbh)

Demeter
In Greek mythology, Demeter and Persephone have one of the best mother-daughter bonds, Demeter literally froze the earth just to get her back, yet in Gow COO, not only is she not a big character like she should be, but she doesn’t make an appearance, she literally isn’t even mentioned in the game, which is ridiculous

Incompetent characters, Hades and Eos

Again, Hades is the ruler of the underworld,

And yet, he didn’t try to stop them, he is rarely even mentioned in this game, just a few times by Persephone

There is only 1 possible explanation for this

Which is that hades didn’t know about it, which just makes him seem incompetent

Hades is the literal ruler of the underworld, and he didn’t realize that a major titan was freed? That the world pillar in Elysian was being destroyed?

This also makes Eos stupid as well

It’s heavily implied that she knew that atlas was the one who kidnapped Helios and that he escaped Tartarus,

if she had any sense, she would alert hades immediately

And If hades knew of there plan, he would be quick to take action,

But nope, hades is nowhere to be found, and is mostly just in the background, he was briefly mentioned by Persephone, but that’s it
