Really, really glad I started on Titan. Even though it's pissed me off a few times, Normal would have been like a cakewalk for me.
Especially now that I just got the
, it's on! Combat is so much fun in this game.
I really love the battering ram addition. Really helps me just throw enemies off the board when I don't want to bother with them :lol

It happend to me but i finally got used to it and haven't died like that in a while. I think there is only a small window when you can hit jump again. If your timing is off, it doesn't work. Once I could do it consistently, I wondered what the problem was.

It happens right when you return to the 3 judges towards the end of the game.

Just got platinum, the 1000 hit combo i got
right after the Hades fight, after swimming in styx you come to a challenge where you have to use hades magic. Don't use it and just spam L1 + O. It helps if you don't upgrade anything all the way up to that point and then use all the money you have gathered and upgrade the Hades weapon. So there are more of those skulls flying around thus quickening your combo.

Wish this had a "Bloody Palace" style mode...combat arena is okay but I'd prefer something a bit meatier, especially since the combat is so damn good.

Vent section from the demo?? That was so easy, and no, you didn't have to rely on luck at all as long as you were looking ahead. I thought that was like a next-next-next gen section of those tunnels from Superstardust on AmigaTom Penny said:

Okay guys gonna give what I do for easy goat kills on that one part people get stuck on
I beat the game dying about 16 times on titan first play through mostly on
Avoid killing the first goat get two heads down then when all 3 are out use the max level electric spell, it cost the least amount of mana and stuns them for easy kills

One small gruesome detail I didn't notice until after I mauled a large group of enemies using the Hyperion Fury attack, I saw that Kratos's body was COVERED head to toe in BLOOD!@ So cool. I just stared at him until the blood slowly faded away from his body. What a great touch of detail, and it really gets you into a blood thirsty rage whenever you see it. Badass!

i just got the game this morning, and i've noticed that hold button controls randomly drop quite often. like, hold r1 to open a chest, i do, and for some reason he lets go and i have to do it again. more troublesome is when i'm holding x to glide over a pit, my wings disappear early and i plummet to my death. it's not like the controller cuts out, i can still steer. for some reason the game thinks i let go of the button.

It's semi-broken but hitting X again instantly will work every time - it feels 'off' but it guarantees a safe passage. The broken aspect is because hitting X slightly later ONLY breaks during important jumps. Try jumping around just on the floor - you can hit X as late as you like and it works fine.
Obviously it's not a huge problem because hitting it again instantly is the solution, but the inconsistency of pressing later is curiously sloppy all the same. Just a minor thing which I'm surprised wasn't scrubbed up.

I died a lot in the beginning due to that double jump. I learned to just mash X,X, and hold X.
The previous GOWs I never had this problem. There is also the opening treasure chest lag and saving.
That's my only gripes about this game.

Just got through the area from the demo. Shit it's not even the same game. The difference is mind blowing.
Also right before you fight
. There's one of those exploding flame pots which I'm sure is for a secret but my game glitched and I couldn't drag the pot or explode it. Did I miss anything important?
Also right before you fight

I don't think so. I might be wrong but those are the equivalent to exploding barrel traps for enemies.Rated-Rsuperstar said:

Also want to say that the battering ram and grab towards your enemies are fantastic additions to the combat. I use both all the time.
These challenges are pretty meh.
I beat get stoned on my second try, got pretty crazy but the parry fail breakout definitly makes it way easier. I only need to finish bare handed and the el matador one, but I don't really get bare handed. Is this seriously a challenge built around grabbing fodder enemies while big ones are nearby? Kratos constantly grabs the wrong thing, it's annoying as hell.
I also don't really get the way you can replay. So there's no new game+, just the relics? And one fucking costume, I still can't believe that. :|
Is there anyway to backtrack for more orbs? I was kinda close to maxing out before, and have saves from all over the game. But I didn't think the game meant max out in one playthrough.
The problem here is that it isn't a boss, it's a random encounter that ends up being harder than any god you'll see in this game. :lol

Here's what I did on titan:
First off, do not kick the dogs. I tried it for awhile, and there's so many times you get blown up by another dog right after you finish kicking one, so it's too luck based for a fight you can't risk getting hit. I personally had maxed out cestus, so I stayed close and pounded its face in. If you start it back a little, you lunge into the face and kill nearby dogs, but you still need to dodge attacks. The good thing about being this close means the dogs that blow up near you are easily dodged and end up hurting the cerberus. You should start to be able to consistently beat the first heard without getting hit, and the second isn't much different aside from the satyr, which is pretty easy if you can put some orbs in the claws of hades. Also, don't use magic for the first head at all.
Set the Gorgon as the soul summon for the claws. If it isn't there you need to get to..level 3 I think, so hopefully you either have that already or atleast have the orbs. You can ONLY use this magic twice on a full bar though, so you need to be careful. Get the satyr when it's recovering from an attack then smash it like nothing. Then just repeat like the first head and cut off head 2. Now the wonderful part...
For the 2 satyrs, if the planets align and the gods want you to excel in life, you will be able to get both in the gorgon's stare. I never was able to get that lucky, but you need atleast one out of the picture. After this you have a chunk of magic, but not big enough for another summon, so I used the blade of exile's magic by the cerberus here. Then be slow, air dash around if needed and only hit the dog with 1-2 hit cestus light attacks while it throws up pups. After it does, run around and basically just get the satyr away from you. Soon the dog will have the prompt, do it, kill it, relish the moment and the fact that if you're almost dead you'll get more health, then spam throws on the last satyr to easily beat it.
