God Of War 3 Weapons - NEMEAN CESTUS - MAX RANK COMBOS

"Kratos, you now possess the Nemean Cestus. Use their strength to make the very earth tremble." –Athena The Nemean Cestus is a weapon seen in God of War III and briefly in the multiplayer of God of War: Ascension. They are a pair of large metal gauntlets, each forged to resemble a snarling lion's head, that greatly increases the strength of its wielder when worn. The Cestus was apparently given to its original owner, Hercules, after he slew the Nemean Lion as one of his 12 Labours, their relation to the beast itself is relatively obvious as it shows lion's face and the paws of the lion, itself. In Greek Mythology, this was also used by Helios and Hermes.
