Earlier in this list, we glossed over Kratos stealing the magic loom from the Sisters of Fate so he could travel back in time for a rematch with Zeus. In this entry, we'll discuss how he got it because that battle also saw Kratos use some weird and wonderful tactics to punch the Fates across time and space.

In the fiercest fight with the Fates - battling Atropos and Lahkesis simultaneously - Kratos is hurled all around his own history. Crossing his own timeline with enough audacity to make a Doctor Who fan shudder, Kratos fights Atropos on top of the gigantic Blade of the Gods - while a past version of himself is still wielding it.

Finally, he manages to wrestle Atropos back into the present, and in doing so he realises the key to their power: they both left and returned through a portal in the shape of a mirror.

After a tense exchange with both Lahkesis and Atropos, Kratos tricks Lahkesis into flying at her own sister - giving him a chance to throw both the Fates into the mirror. Before they can portal out, he shatters it behind them, trapping them outside of time.
