God of War II: infinite red orbs example

[DJJOKER1989]

well... it doesn't work for me... why ??

[AKheon]

@DJJOKER1989

All I know about this trick is in the video description... sorry if you can't get it to work.

[DJJOKER1989]

@AKheon i was doing it at the same spot as on your vid but red orbs do not follow over after checkpoint restart, whatever... i have platinum.

[AKheon]

@DJJOKER1989

Was the last enemy a gorgon which you had stonefrozen? If yes, strange it doesn't work.

[DJJOKER1989]

@AKheon yes, exactly same as in the video, also checkpoint restart exactly same as in the video

[Cloud00456]

will it work on gow collection

[AKheon]

@Cloud00456

It most likely does.

[juaneliasll]

@Cloud00456 I tried it in Collection, exactly as in the video and it didn't work...

[metalfiredope]

@Camuseiya it's right after the skelevator. If I'm not mistaken..

[Camuseiya]

when is this video?? it looks like the chamber of the phoenix is that right?

[AKheon]

@Camuseiya

It's a bit before chamber of the phoenix, yeah.

[Camuseiya]

@AKheon where exactly friend?

[wtblogger]

[40088922]

hey, wanna know a real annoying glitch? in "the great chasm" part (before u meet icarus) i went to d last platform n nothing happens! i got back to land n nothing happened to! i died a lot trying to understand that. every time i restarted i saw icarus wings under d platform, but when i got too close it just disapear! just in d next day i tried for d last time, i did it! but unfortunaly my game stoped for short moments until i get out of atlas ´s "empire"

[AKheon]

@40088922

Some sort of loading error probably...

[housam7]

haha good

[Metroidknot]

well if you still need to upgrade things in your inventory beat the game and then with the blade of olympus just upgrade that to second upgrade and have urn of gaia and then use the latest power to drain thousands of orbs from a crowd of enemies. but u need to find that urn first.

[clustro]

eh

its not as good as the gow1 infinite orb glitch

this is at nearly the end of the game, and would take forever to upgrade something like lvl 5 blades.

[j3tang]

I have the exact same issue as chadc745, it will only work once unfrozen and then wait for the gorgon to attempt to freeze me and so on.

[chadc745]

It appears they might have fixed this glitch on the GoW Collections. I was able to replicate the scenario above perfectly (ie freeze gorgon, smash, restart, smash frozen gorgon) only it would reset my orbs back to the original count from when the gorgon was first frozen.

I found that if I let it unfreeze, froze it again, smashed, restarted I could collect more orbs. Not as efficient as the method above but still works I guess.

Unless I was screwing up something which is entirely possible.

[AKheon]

I doubt they fixed anything for the collection, but who knows. The conditions for this glitch to work are a bit hazy, though. For example, it doesn't seem to work with two gorgons at once either.

[chadc745]

I would agree with you, especially considering I was able to get the harpy glitch to work no problem in GoW 1.  If they didn't fix that one, I doubt they touched anything.

Thanks for the reply.

[presadorisafag]

@chadc745

no they didnt fix the glitch for the god of war collection. they might have tried. but they are still VERY do-able. like god of war one. there was a harpy glitch. I tried alot couldnt get it to work. then like 50th time BAM infinite red orbs.

so yea the glitches are still there. Just might take a few extra tries is all.lol

[cocoloco39]

@chadc745 i think they did cause i did this too exactly and well no extra orbs unless i let the gorgon unfreeze

[icebad123]

@chadc745

on the collection, it does work, but u have to let the gorgon unfreeze, then refreeze it, smash it, then restart, then let it unfreeze, refreeze etc.

[Blade2xtremeFTW]

If anyone wanted to know where this area is, it's after you get the Warrior's Skull key and force the translator (again) to read.

[lanicol1]

is that after the octapus and fire pheonix thingy

[AKheon]

No. Way before it.

[lanicol1]

[blackhollywooddeath]

could this work with that chest that gives you like 5k orbs?

[AKheon]

Nah, it's a glitch in petrifying and checkpointing.

[ittooryu]

no way :O thats amazing

[tadeuk2k]

it work's but the problem is...

ah never mind nice one

[butts991]

i did this but i didnt mark it as a checkpoint? it just took me back to before u go on the rope that breaks

[AKheon]

So, you fought the fight, petrified the last gorgon and then smashed it, then retried but got sent back to the area before rope?

Checkpoints need time to load too. After the first time of smashing the gorgon, wait for a few seconds to make sure you actually get it.

[bANDynamiTe]

ahhh I checked it again. It adds bonus orbs as you finish it with a crush plus the combo plus the orbs= you can get about 300 orbs for this one simple enemy

[AKheon]

Yeah, it's good.

[bANDynamiTe]

yeaaaah!!! I love this glitch. The enemy goves about 150 orbs.

[zeus111980]

i loled hard xD

[ManeshM84]

Nice vid, if I remember correctly, GMG and AD found this very early on when they were on the GOW2 forums at gamespot/faqs. I'd never tried it, but cool to see it in action.

[AKheon]

GMG acted unkowing when I asked him a few days ago, so I don't think it was him. Of course, if the proof was in old GameFAQs threads, they're gone forever...

[AKheon]

AD? Whozzat?

[Izak412]

i pretty dont much understand how you did this

[addaminsain]

have you tried reading the description?

[Izak412]

oh I get it

[addaminsain]

Could take a while but a nice illustration none the less.
