As the other demigods fight in the world above, Percy and Annabeth's group reach the Doors of Death and fight the personification of Tartarus, eventually destroying the chains holding the Doors in place. Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth travel through Tartarus to the other side of the Doors of Death, aided by the Titan Iapetus, who now goes by "Bob" after a previous encounter with Percy, the giant Damasen, and a few other beings. Each of the demigods uses some aspect of their newly strengthened powers or identities to help defeat these monsters for example, Hazel's new power and alliance with Hecate helps her defeat Pasiphaë and Clytius. Arriving at the Necromanteion, the reunited crew is attacked by Clytius, Pasiphaë, and a group of their minions. Jason later gives up his praetorship to Frank in accordance with this decision. While Leo is detained, the rest of the crew meets with Notus, who helps Jason to realize that he has chosen to be a Greek rather than a Roman demigod, settling an internal conflict within himself. Although he leaves the island, Leo promises to return for her.
