* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: Erebus. Tartarus - the part where the Titans are imprisoned - is never shown, but presumably it's much the same. Interestingly, the Norse refer to it as Niflheim, which in actual myth was more like a Frost And Icicles Hell. |

* [[Finish Him!]]: When Arkantos's army defeat "Gargarensis"'s in the Norselands, the heroes manage to capture "Gargarensis" (take note of the quotation marks; he's actually {{spoiler|Kemesyt, but transfigured into the form of Gargarensis via Loki's trickery magic}}. In the end, Ajax even resorts to asking Arkantos whether or not {{spoiler|to put him in a cage somewhere in Atlantis}}, rather than {{spoiler|cutting off his head}}. Arkantos refuses, saying {{spoiler|he has done too much against the Atlanteans, and orders to kill him}}. Ajax {{spoiler|chops off his head with a ''large axe'', with no remorse}}. |
