Ligyron

**Spoiler Alert!**
Spoilers from the game to follow!

**Ligyron** is the older half-brother of Fenyx, and the game secondary antagonist. An accomplished soldier and warrior, Ligyron himself drafted his younger sibling into war. He is the second-to-last boss, right before Typhon. He was tricked by Typhon into working for him and into fighting Fenyx.

## Appearance

Ligyron appears as a extremely tall, muscular, and confident man. He has black middle parted hair and a black beard. He can be found wearing classic Greek armor and a bracelet on his left arm.

## Personality

Ligyron is a very confident and at times pretentious person. He has lied about himself and his achievements to Fenyx before, like his tale of supposedly annihilating an entire Spartan fleet singlehandedly, and he isn't the accomplished and strong warrior he tells everybody he is. Ligyron is shown to be desperate enough to throw in his lot with Typhon. He also displays some narcissistic tendencies, believing that he would serve well as a King of the Gods, while belittling his younger sibling and saying they could be a god of storytelling, solely to embellish his legend further.

## History

Ligyron is first referenced by Fenyx's mental images of their crewmates, and again by Fenyx herself upon retrieving the Sword of Achilles from what appears to be Ligyron's stone form.

## Role in the Game

In actuality, however, Ligyron was either never frozen in stone or was, in fact, released by Typhon, with whom he made a deal: help Typhon kill the Gods, and Ligyron would be placed on Olympos's throne instead.

He makes a brief appearance at the end of the Vault of Ares, snatching the War God's essence before Fenyx can grab it, then reappearing and revealing himself inside Ares's treasury room. He reveals several other items he has taken, hands the essence over to Fenyx, then proclaims that the prophecy Fenyx heard was about him, not his younger sister, and he would be the one to deal with Typhon.

Ligyron makes a sudden reappearance after all four Gods have been freed from their torment, proclaiming his plan to use chains forged by Hephaistos - enhanced by the blood of the Gods themselves - to bind Typhon permanently. He then takes samples of the Gods' blood and leaves for King's Peak.

Upon Fenyx reaching the Peak herself, however, she eavesdrops on her brother and learns he has been working with Typhon rather than against him. Following Typhon's instructions, Ligyron then brews a poison capable of killing Gods before being interrupted by Fenyx. Following a long battle, and with an angry Fenyx punching him repeatedly, he finally admits all his exploits were lies, told to embellish himself and at least partially inspired by Fenyx's storytelling skills. He then calls out to Typhon, distracting Fenyx long enough to escape through a portal made by the Titan to the Gates of Tartaros, intent on delivering the poison.

Upon reaching Typhon's lair, however, he is betrayed by the Titan and captured (it's initially implied he was turned to stone, but this was later revealed to be a lie told as part of Prometheus' story). Ligyron is then not seen again until he appears in front of Zeus' prison-like cell in the Vault of Typhon, from which he watches his sister fight the Titan.

Later, as Fenyx celebrates victory over Typhon with the Gods on the Golden Isle, Ligyron climbs up to Prometheus's perch, clutching a giant key, implied to be the key that will release him. Ligyron then reveals he was sent by Zeus to release him, but not before telling Prometheus a story - the same story Prometheus had told Zeus, a fact that annoys him greatly.

## From Great Beginnings

Ligyron makes a minor appearance in the graphic novel set after the events of the game, now residing on Mount Olympos alongside the relocated Prometheus. Because of Ligyron's less-than-stellar storytelling, he is still in the midst of retelling the tale of Fenyx to Prometheus after many months, with the Titan complaining that his sense of pacing is an "abomination".

## Strategy

Ligyron has decently fast attacks, but are fairly easily avoided if payed attention to. Hephaistos's Hammer and Ares's Wrath are the most useful Godly Powers against him, as the hammer does lots of damage and ares's wrath can stun him, he also doesn't have very good stun resistance. He gets harder throughout the battle, but can still be easily defeated by quick players. His AoE attack can be avoided by hiding behind rocks and broken pillars.

## Trivia

• Ligyron's name is a reference to Achilles, as it is a name occasionally attributed to the hero.
