Phoenix Feathers are located in white chests and will increase Kratos' maximum magic for every five you collect. Once you collect 15 Feathers in total, Kratos' magic will be completely maxed out and any other chest containing one will yield red orbs. There are more chests than needed, so it's possible to miss some and still be able to max out Kratos' magic.
#1) The Village of Kirra - When you come to a fork where there's a hammer on the ground for you to pick up and right before you go forward and fight Elephantaurs for the first time, go to the right to find two White Chests with a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#2) The Village of Kirra - From the previous chest, fight the two Elephantaurs and after the fight, go to the right. You should see a cage that you can move, but don't do that yet. Jump on top of it, then jump to the ledge to the right to find the Phoenix Feather (Circe's Vial is also here).
#3) The Village of Kirra - This one is in the room with the rotating wheel. Break the wooden barrier and once the wheel passes the left-most switch, pull it and then the other switches, going clockwise. This will allow you to jump up the newly-formed platforms to a ledge with two White Chests, one with a Gorgon Eye and one with a Phoenix Feather.
#4) The Cistern - Jump onto the snake and remove the clamp to make it move. Once it stops, grapple to the tower and climb inside it. When you're inside, don't go up, but instead go down to find the Phoenix Feather at the bottom of the stairs.
#5) The Python's Belly - After grabbing the Lightning of Zeus upgrade and killing the enemies, go through the gate and jump to the top of the red snake. As soon as you're outside, head towards the screen to find two Red Orb Chests and the Phoenix Feather
#6) The Temple of Delphi - When you first encounter the mist that turns everything to stone, you need to go to the giant door and attack it until it busts open. Instead of doing that, head to the right until you get to a smaller door that you can break. Inside that room are two chests with a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#7) The Temple of Delphi - You will see a cutscene with Castor killing someone over not building a statue. After the scene, hit the mist and then go up the stairs on the right, breaking through the door. Kill the enemies in this hallway, then place the statue on the right side, and hit the mist to make a platform fall on top of the statue. Jump up to the platform and then the ledge above, where you'll find a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#8) The Temple of Delphi - After collecting the previous chests, go back into the center room, step in the mist and then break through the door up the left set of stairs. Kill the enemy in this hallway, then drag the statue into the room closer to the stairs. Push the statue onto the switch in the middle, step into the mist, then push the statue off the switch. Go north and hug the metal gate, waiting until the mist wears off and it opens, allowing you to go and grab the Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather..
#9) Delphi Catacombs - You will come to a section where you are on two chandeliers and must grapple to swing them, where you will go into some stone mist. After the second one, you'll break through a wall. As soon as you break through the wall, go back into the room with the chandeliers to find two Red Orb Chests, as well as a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#10) Delphi Catacombs - Once you get the large statue into the room with the hourglass, put it on top of the switch from earlier. This will open up the door on the left side, which houses the Phoenix Feather.
#11) Passage to Delphi - After the cutscene with the Oracle, continue on until you jump the gap and have to shimmy along some ledges. On the bottom ledge, go to the right until you come to a secret area with the Phoenix Feather.
#12) The Grotto - Swim down at the start, but don't go forward. Instead, go right and keep swimming around until you find a secret cave. Surface in this area to find a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#13) The Grotto - This is in the area with all of the boats. There are two White Chests with a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather on the left side of the docks.
#14) Prison of the Damned (2) - After killing the enemies at the beginning, restore the structure with the Amulet. At the end of the first hallway, go left to find a Red Orb Chest and the Phoenix Feather.
#15) Delos Landing - You will come to a section after riding on the sea creature's tentacles where you will have to fight two Lightning Talos. After killing them, jump up to the next ledge and go to the left. You should find another ledge you can jump up to, which has two Red Orb Chests and the Phoenix Feather.
| NOTE |
| If you've gotten all of the Phoenix Feathers up to this point, then every chest after this one will give you Red Orbs. |
#16) Delos Landing - You will come to a puzzle room with a bunch of gears, a ledge on the right, a movable block, as well as a switch you can grapple and pull left/right. Grab the block and use it to get onto the ledge on the right, hitting the chain to clear the debris. Drop down and use the Amulet to repair the chain in the middle, then move the block back to where you found it. Pull the switch all the way to the left, then rush over to the block and push it to stop the gear from moving. You can use the gear on the left to climb to a ledge with the Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#17) The Foot of Apollo - After killing the Delos Warrior and two Centaurs, yank the chain down and then get the ledge above. Don't go through and into the leg yet, instead going right and jumping to the ledge above to find the Phoenix Feather (there's a Red Orb Chest underneath).
#18) The Forearm of Apollo - You need to use the Oath Stone on a pressure switch to keep a door open. Go through that door and you'll land on a platform and battle will ensue. You should see a gate with the white chest behind it. Climb the wall to the left and all the way to the right until you get to a ledge with a platform you can grapple. Pull this all the way back, then use the Oath Stone to keep it in place, allowing you to hop down and find the gate now open.
#19) The Forearm of Apollo - This Phoenix Feather is in the exact same place as #17.
#20) The Ribs of Apollo - After jumping on a series of platforms and falling through the third one, you'll grapple and land on a platform where you fight some enemies. Kill them and jump onto a ledge on the left side to find two Red Orb Chests, Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
#21) The Furnace - There is a switch you grapple and pull back that you need to create a clone to hold it in place. Do that and then jump into the opening to drop down, where you'll find a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather in plain sight.
#22) Eyes of Apollo - There are two chests with a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather in plain sight when you climb the ladder to reach the conveyor belt.
#23) The Trial of Archimedes - As soon as you get through the portal and enter this chapter, you'll spot two chests to the north of your position, so open them for a Gorgon Eye and Phoenix Feather.
