He also says that, after his death, he could finally stay with his son again.
Daedalus was distraught hearing the bad news.Īfter dying in the assembly of the Labyrinth, Daedalus also left a note written in blood, in which he congratulated Kratos for his progress, telling him Zeus should pay for breaking his promise and letting Icarus die. When Daedalus asked where was Icarus, Kratos told him that he was already dead. When Kratos arrived at the enchained Daedalus, he presumed that Kratos was his son until he stepped on the light. In the first notes, he seems happy with the chance of having his son back, but his happiness fades as time passes and Icarus does not return to him, even though he does build the Labyrinth perfectly. Zeus had promised to take Icarus back to Daedalus in return for building the Labyrinth for him. In the Chambers of Daedalus, where he used to make most of his projects, he mentioned Icarus in several notes, saying how he missed his son and wanted him back. Icarus is briefly mentioned in God of War III. Screaming in utter terror, Icarus falls down into the Underworld again for the final time, while Kratos uses Icarus' wings to safely land onto the Titan Atlas whom he had years ago chained him to the top of the Pillar in order to keep him from interfering with his battle against Persephone. His pleas fall on deaf ears as he has had enough of this deranged old man's claims that he will be the one to reach the Sisters of Fate, as the battle culminates in Kratos ripping off Icarus' wings to save himself. "Wait! Perhaps the sisters have sent you to help me! I realize now!" They fight the whole way down, but Icarus soon suffers a beating at the Spartan's hands and pleads for his life stating he believes the Sisters sent Kratos to help him. Icarus states that Kratos will die if he tries to cross but Kratos declares "I will make it to the Sisters of Fate and I will use your wings to do so." Angered, Icarus states the Sisters will not allow Kratos, a fallen God reach them, before Icarus wiggles out of the Spartan's grip and pulls the two of them down into the chasm. Annoyed, Kratos tries to push the old man aside as Icarus yells about the futility of his quest stating that only he will fly across to get an audience with the Sisters and change his fate. He tries to get Kratos to stop his quest, rambling on about how he will never make it across the chasm. He appears as an old, filthy looking, insane man. When Kratos meets him he crawls from underneath a bridge in the Great Chasm. He is found on the Island of Creation in God of War II on a quest to change his fate. Unsatisfied, Icarus sought to save himself from his pitiful existence by reaching the Sisters of Fate and preventing his death.
Lacking much of his father's talent, Icarus spent decades crudely repairing his wings, eventually grafting them to the flesh of his back, which finally allowed him to escape the Underworld. In the God of War series, Icarus died and fell into the Underworld, where he was driven insane by the torment of his prison and his own prideful failure.
The loss troubled Daedalus so much that he refused to share the plans for his wings until his death. He flew so high, the heat of the sun melted the wax in his wings, and he plunged to his death into the ocean where he would drown afterwards. The two escaped, but Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun. The clever Daedalus plucked feathers from the birds that landed at the window and, over time, gathered enough to build two pairs of wings for himself and his son, Icarus. In reality, the father and son were Minos' prisoners, imprisoned in a tower. In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of Daedalus, King Minos' architect, who built the labyrinth for King Minos to imprison the Minotaur.
