What do you mean when you say 'Death'? It's been a bit since I've played through the game so I might have just forgotten about it?...
I've been wondering if that scene in the original labyrinth under the stars where Asterion gets his star back, if that isn't him becoming divine. He is technically a demigod, right?... So perhaps that scene was him redeeming himself for the supposed 'cowardice' at the hands of Theseus?
