There's a large vine growing up the side of the wall on the right side, this 
is where you need to start climbing up.  When you reach a point where you 
can't climb any higher press the left analog stick in the opposite direction 
and double jump across to grab the vine on the other side.  Continue up and 
then do this again, finally jump across to the left when you reach the top and 
get the chests containing blue and green orbs,  when you go outside you'll 
encounter a new type of enemy.  This enemy moves about underground and bursts 
up dealing damage to you in the process, to defeat them you should always 
block when they are approaching from underground and then start attacking when 
they pop out.  Soon after some rather obnoxious guys with bows will appear on 
the stairs, take the time to run over and kill them otherwise they'll probably 
end up really pissing you off while you're trying to fight.  Grab the chest 
with the green orbs after the battle and start to climb up the stairs.  This 
part can get rather difficult so stay on your guard and only attack when it's 
safe, you need to fend off a bunch of those skeleton warriors as well as the 
large beast with the spikey ball.  After the battle grab the chest with the 
green orbs at the top and then go back down and through the door.

Head down at first and you'll find a chest full of red orbs.  Now start to 
cross the bridge where all those soldiers met their end and double jump across 
to the platform.  From here you can double jump and grab hold of the vines 
that line the side of the pillar in the middle.  Shimmy around to the right 
side and then jump to the next pillar.  Try to time your jumps between the 
arrows fired from the enemies so that you aren't struck in mid air and fall to 
your doom.  On the second pillar climb around to the right side and jump 
across.  Open the chest here and get the red orbs.  You'll come to a fork up 
the path, at this fork is a chest that changes colour, refill either your 
health or magic whichever needs it more.  Take the right path at the save 
point and save your game in the next room.  Ascend the ladder at the top.

You'll find a ladder at the upper right corner of the roof, go up and get the 
two treasure boxes here for eithe magic or health and a Gorgon Eye.  Drop down 
again and jump across to the other building on the left side.  Here you'll 
find a multicoloured chest again and if you jump across to the left you can 
grab onto a rope.  Swing and jump to reach the other side where you'll find a 
treasure trove of health, magic and red orbs which you can barely open thanks 
to those stupid archers in the background.  It's possible to kill them later 
and come back for these so you can do that if you wish.  Head back and smash 
the wooden barrier beside the chest so that you can jump across to the next 
building.  Break the barrier and this building and double jump across, you 
certainly won't make it to the ledge but you will grab onto the vines that 
adorn the wall.  Climb up and open the chest to refill your magic power.  

There's a shiny object on the ground up the ramp, press the R2 button for a 
quick scene and then continue along the path to a ramp which you can kick down 
with the R2 button.  Head back down to the save point room and go out the 
door, this time take the upper left path.  You'll come to a large ballista
(crossbow thing) which you can grab hold of with the R2 button.  Push and kick 
this thing down into the next room.  Now in this room you will notice an odd 
panel on the floor, go to the door beside it and use the R2 button to pull it 
open.  Inside a ton of enemies spawn but you can take them all out quickly 
using the Poseidon's Rage.  After they're taken care of go out and place the 
ballista on the gear shaped panel in the floor, now pull the lever.  Leave the 
room and grab the ballista which has been turned 90 degrees and pull it off 
the panel.  Pull the lever once again to reset it and put the ballista back 
on.  Turn it one more time and it will be rotated to face toward that 
immovable door.  Set it in the middle of the room, then pull back and fire.

Before going through the door that you just smashed open, climb up the ladder 
that the lever brought down and get the chest containing red orbs.  Pull open 
the door at the upper right as well to find a multicoloured chest.  Now head 
through the door in the centre and follow the path to find another of the many 
gods.  He grants you the magic power Zeus' Fury.  Head through the door that 
Zeus blocked previously and cross the bridge.  While standing on the bridge 
with Zeus' Fury equipped you can hold down the L2 button and press square to 
fire lightning bolts at the archers in the background.  Destroying all of them 
opens up the door that had the red forcefield before down the hall to the 
right of where you came out of the Zeus door.  Through there is a large room 
with a crumbling wall at the top end, break down this wall to find three 
chests containing magic refill, a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix Feather.  Head back 
across the bridge and make a right at the fork, save your game here.

Head up the ladder to the roof again and jump across.  You now have the 
ability to kill those damn archers in the background and get all those chests 
across the swinging part if you wish.  When you're ready jump across and 
return to the part where the guy wouldn't put the bridge across for you.  Take 
aim with your Zeus' Fury and eliminate his face off.  You'll find two chests 
in the first room on the other side containing a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix 
Feather.  Follow the path down the hall to the room at the end where you'll 
find another two chests both with sashes of red orbs.  Stand on the circular 
button for a second to ride the elevator down to the area below.  Start 
running and as you cross the bridge a cutscene will occur.  Balance your way 
across the bridge support beam and save your game at the save point on the 
other side.  Ascend the stairs to the top where you'll need to fight your way 
through a number of normal enemies.  You can break a hole in the wall to 
reveal a chest full of red orbs around here.  Keep climbing the stairs until 
you finally reach the Temple of the Oracle.  Open the two chests here 
containing green orbs and blue orbs then start to cross the bridge.
