7500 Blood Orb Door Gallery Rewards in God of War Sons of Sparta

By newsgame


After defeating Ioke, the first major boss in God of War: Sons of Sparta, you’ll return to the city of Sparta and eventually be introduced to an area called The Gallery. This location is where the Sculptor, one of the game’s important NPCs, is found for most of the game. If you explore the area at the base of the scaffolding that leads to the Sculptor, you’ll find a Vermilion Globe that does not serve its normal purpose. Instead, it blocks entrance to an unknown chamber at the cost of 7500 Blood Orbs. This guide will answer whether you should pay 7500 Blood Orbs to open the Gallery Door in God of War: Sons of Sparta.

Santa Monica Studio’s God of War has produced many great games. Naturally, some of Kratos’ bloody PlayStation adventures are better than others.

After climbing the first section of scaffolding that leads to The Gallery, you’ll find yourself at the base of the second set of scaffolding that leads to the Sculptor. Instead of heading up, look to the right of the scaffolding, and you’ll see the Vermilon Globe.

Approach the globe like you would any other, pressing triangle to interact with it. You’ll see that it will cost 7500 Blood Orbs to remove the barrier blocking entrance to the eastern structure.

Short Answer – Yes:

In short, yes, you absolutely should pay 7500 Blood Orbs to remove the barrier as soon as you can. This is because the barrier is blocking access to one of the most helpful items in the game.

Inside the chamber, you’ll find a chest that contains the Jewel of Ziteo. This item is a Gouri, which are the charms that you can equip in the Belt of Tyche.

What Does the Jewel of Ziteo Do?

The Jewel of Ziteo, when equipped, produces both audio and visual cues when you are near loot and hidden areas. The visual cues are the most useful, as they reveal breakable and illusory walls that would otherwise be almost impossible to locate. Many of the games’ collectibles are hidden behind these walls.

If you are hoping to reach 100% completion in all regions of the game, the Jewel of Ziteo will be your best friend.

While there are certainly other important uses for Blood Orbs early in Sons of Sparta, we highly recommend getting and equipping the Jewel of Ziteo as soon as you can. This is because having this Gouri equipped will result in far more Blood Orbs being collected, as well as many of the game’s most powerful items.
