Elemental Talos
Elemental Talos is a group of enemies in God of War: Ascension. They appear in three types: Fire Talos, Ice Talos, and Thunder Talos.

They receive damage in a similar way to both the Stone and the Bronze Talos and are killed in the same fashion as the two others.

Fire Talos
Fire Talos are first Elemental Talos to be encountered. Their face and raster at their stomach glow red from the fire that burns inside them. From the moment they are activated, their hammers also start glowing red. They slam their hammers in front of their feet to make small fire explosions on the ground towards their enemies. Fire Talos can spring into the air and plummet down to earth in a ball of flames.

Ice Talos
Ice Talos are second Elemental Talos to be encountered. Their face glows blue when activate, just like their hammers. They can create an ice wave that comes out of their helmets and hits anything in front of them. As they smash their hammers in the ground, they create huge ice crystals growing out of it.

Thunder Talos
The Thunder Talos are third and last kind to be fought. Their face and hammers glow yellow. They can charge their hammers with electricity and dash them forward, electrocuting and pushing their enemies back. Their special attack is creating a thunder shield around themselves, damaging everyone who comes too close.
