You get Zeus' Eagle early in the game; actually the first time you enter Gaia during the Poseidon battle. When you reach the heart area, instead of moving the stone column to the left like instructed, simply climb the vine on the right hand side of the screen and you'll reach an area where you can get it.

Probably the ice thing from the scorpion, and something else along those lines that I can't think of at the moment.

Ah motherfucking Chaos mode, where regular enemies are more fucking difficult than the bosses. :| At this rate I think it's going to take me double the time to finish it than on god/titan.

This for sure will be my one and only Chaos run. Any other playthroughs will be done just on Titan. :p

I just beat the
Scorpion
boss and holy shit, it took me over an hour. However, when I did kill him, it only took me about 3-4 minutes. I completely forgot I could air dodge :lol

Ah man, end game starts now. I kinda don't wanna play. I remember I felt the same way about UC2 T_T

Nope, but you can pick it up from any save file. No need to do it in the same playthrough during which you collected the rest.

I had 3 missing from my Titan run. I collected 2 during the Easy one and then simply loaded a Titan save file to access the location where the 3rd one was hidden (as I didn't save at the same location on the Easy run). I got the trophy the moment I collected it.

Nice! :D Thanks everyone! :mad:

Oh and speaking of Platinum, I'll take my time since they require replayability. Will get all three platinums at the same time! :mad:

Stayed up till 4AM+ last night to beat this...

AND WOW.... All the bosses impressed me Greatly except
Hermes
... :( kinda disappointing.

Question...
Doesn't Kratos lop off Gia's arm like 20% through the game? How is it that she still has two hands to attempt to crush you and Zeus in the end of the game?

Anyway the game was absolutely epic. Now to get the trophies...

OH AND THAT FIGHT WITH THE CERBERES AND THE SATYR OMG!!! SOOOO DIFFICULT!!
I had to check gamefaqs for a strategy for that fight i'm sorry lol..... when i saw you could use the
Gorgon
on the satyr i was like.. thank you jesus..... Before i saw that strategy i must have played that fight like 10+ times.. :( and that was only on Normal..

I'm seriously scared to attempt this game on chaos

Also: I got the AMazed trophy on my first run :) (although i kinda cheated and exited and reloaded everytime i died) LMAO

Platinum get.

Can't quite decide at the moment if I want to do Chaos mode or not. Maybe later.

Titan was really the ideal difficulty, Normal is just too easy.

If I remember right,
she basically has just roots for a hand at that last scene

So, in the final sequence of the game
where Kratos is in his own mind, and jumps from the cliff. If you hang around long enough you hear a voice say "True Spartans never fall on their back, right brother?" There's another one that says "Kratos, don't leave me again!"
What games are these quotes from?

I'd be in the dick
Made a lot more progress in my Titan run. Surprisingly I found
Skorpius
to be the easiest boss so far, aside from
Hermes
, of course. I guess I just had a good strategy for him. I could see it being really awful if it was your first time through with no idea how to approach him. I was fearing that fight when I saw how many people were complaining about it, especially since the bosses on Titan have been kicking my ass. Should be able to finish Titan and get the Platinum tomorrow. :D

So what are some of your favorite moments in the game?

Despite all the epicness that goes on in this game, I think my fave one is
when you've already sliced one of Hermes's legs and he's begging for dear life. Just the way Kratos walks over to him with the lightning flashing in the background and the music blasting the chorus chant of KRATOS! KRATOS!
...you feel like such an evil badass motherfucker. Dunno, it just stuck with me!

I like the Kratos theme in each of his God kills, it puts a smile on my face to be this evil with that theme playing :D

I think that on-rails part near the end of the game where you have to dodge fireballs and bullshit may be the single worst segment I've ever played in an otherwise great game.

I have to always wonder what in the FUCK developers are thinking with putting shit like that in. Reminds me of the stupid asteroid section in Dead Space.

They really need stop putting these horrible segments in their games in the name of adding "variety", because it doesn't - it just smears shit onto golden tapestry.

I dunno if it's a bug or what, but it annoys me how on some caverns in Path of Eos my weapons don't illuminate the scenery. :p

Like I was dying before the flying segment and right after my health and magic is replenished.

The flying segment is a life saver when you pass it.

It's because you have a completely different lifebar there. I did a quick easy run and STILL died on the segment
with the scorpion where you fly because you still died in 3 hits
, it caught me off guard.

I didn't mind those segments, but I can certainly understand why people would hate them. They're a rush when you do it perfectly, but messing up on the harder parts makes you literally unable to see which makes it random chance whether or not you'll keep getting hit again and again and again.

Even if you get hit after you finish you are completely replenished. I got hit once and it took off at least a quarter of my health when I finished I was fully healed and my magic before starting it was diminished. It was fully restored after finishing as well.

Try it out and you'll see.

Icarus vent sections are some of the most amazing looking sections in the entire game. It is a fantastic idea, but implemented rather averagely. The biggest problem I had was not being able to align myself with the openings partly due to camera angle (placed at the heels of Kratos) and not being able to distinguish obstacles from scenery other than slamming right into them. Its an easy fix. Pull out the camera and give Kratos more room to maneuver by making the openings larger. The part where I was flawless was
at the falling down part at the end where there are dozens of fireballs falling down and you have to maneuver around them. Why, because the obstacles were easy to make out and openings were easy to see. Not to mention it was fun too.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It fully heals you before those parts and after because it just takes a separate health bar so it can redo the damage scaling.

I've just started my second playthrough of the game. So this is the first time ever I'm replaying a game. Never have I done that before. I haven't replayed Uncharted 2 (although planning to) and even my favorite game of all time, Shadow of the Colossus. So that says something about God of War 3. I might even go for the platinum even though I hate trophies.

So anybody know what the deal is with the website the Platinum Trophy mentions?

I just visited it and didn't see much, is there anything besides the thunder and rain?

You've never replayed any game ever? Wow.

I can kind of relate to you on GoW III though, I only played through I and II once each, and I've finished this one three times and still might try Chaos mode.

I never used to play through games more than once. But since trophies, I do it regularly. Getting way more milage out of games this gen than previous as a result.

I'd never play a game just for the trophies, though. I've only got 3 plats- all GoW related. :D

Just started a new playthrough on Titan mode, and I got to say, you get a much greater feeling of satisfaction from the combat on higher difficulties!

Boss Battle Discussion(Beware Spoilers)

I really enjoyed the first encounter with Poseidon. After a white-knuckle battle with Poseidon it feels so satisfying to beat the ever living shit out of him on the side of Mount Olympus. That entire encounter while fighting the Hydra then the entire form of Poseidon is just a lot of damn fun!

I just finished off Hades, and damn does that battle test your limits! You really need to evaluate the moves and strategies you are using in order to find the best way to defeat Hades. I got to admit, I died a lot, but once I figured out what I needed to do Hades fell like a ton of bricks. Again, SSM does a great job of rewarding the player by allowing you to beat the shit out of the boss once you defeat them.
