funny thing: at the start of the game,in typhoons place thingy where at the beginning u gota climb down the wall thingy and ceeling thingy,yea, that part took me 2 hours and i beat zeus on 1st try...lmao
WTF KRATOS ARE YOU REALLY GONNA LET ZEUS KILL YOU AFTER ALL OF THAT? -sees O button- aw I gotcha Kratos. Imma kill this bitch.
Oh yeah why's it that when Zeus steals the Blade of Olympus from Kratos he just takes it and hurls him to the ground but when Kratos steals it back he has to press O tons of times? I probably enjoyed seeing Zeus bleed way too much by the end of the game but hooooly fuck it was so satisfying to kill him at the end of Titan mode.
Thanks a lot for the video I used your strat and got it to work after a while. The hardest part of Titan Mode for me was Clotho's gauntlet, that thing is a bitch.
Has anyone ever wondered? Kratos is able to kill zeus as a mortal, but was not able to "kill" the Colossus when he was a God.... Where's the logic in that? :S
@HixXxXxiH, Zeus had drained most of Kratos' god powers and infused the Colossus with it. So Kratos wasn't anywhere near the height of his power when he fought it.
Still, it is truly strange... In GoW, Kratos needed the powers within Pandora's Box to kill Ares. In GoW2, he could fight Zeus evenly with his blades only. There, the only way to kill gods was the BoO.
Well, nevermind. It would be more interesting where the producers took their inspiration for Clotho... O_o
His blades would've been useless without the Blade of Olympus, which contained ALL of his godly power at that point. In Phase 1 of the Zeus fight, Kratos stabs him in the hand to drain enough of his power to force him into a "human-sized" fight. One could argue if he had a similar weapon against Ares in GoW instead of Pandora's box, the same thing would've happened.
As for Clotho....yeah I'd rather not see anything with that design again, much less in 720p.
So I think my problem I have with Zeus on titan mode is that my attacks don't so as much dmg to him as all these videos. What's the super secret way to get phase 1 to end with only 3 banshees? I need like 6-7. And I don't care if a spam max level CR and use half my RoT, he ain't giving up his circle prompt anywhere close to this quickly in phase 3.
Is it because my batteries are rechargeable? I bet if I use more powerful batteries Kratos will be able to draw from that power!
Hey!... If Kratos helped Kratos fight Zeus then why would Kratos ever have to travel back in time in order to save Kratos from Zeus? What the f***!? Holy S***, my computer just exploded! Now I can't post this message on YT!
but i thought that the sisters would be immortal because they're like gods znd stuff so if they are mortal meaning they can die means they could age and die of old age
this is a common mistake made by people when talk of divine beings are discussed. The reason Gods can die, including beings like the sisters of fate is because immortality just makes it so that you cannot die by natural means, like sickness or old age. This does not mean that they are invulnerable. There is a difference.
All together, whereas I beat the regular game in about a week (normal difficulty), Titan Mode took me two solid months the first time around. Being a "God" of course I plowed right through in like 2 hours.
The Charged Wind Blast from Typhon's Bane easily takes out Zeus' lightning orbs so you could instead use RotT for earlier phases or use it to destroy Zeus after the orbs are down...just something I realized when I was playing around with Typhon's Bane.
Hardest part in titan mode! i did eurale, translator, cerberus breeders in one day. 20 mins to do the thing before clotho and now im taking ages 2 do this. bt i spent 3 days on theseus lol.
The internet is the last free west, my god, nerd rules? I bet your in favor or security over freedom, and I bet you are also in favor of tiered internet2 as well? -- The internet was built by nerd for nerds.
Yes nerds built the internet, in fact I very much miss the time when only nerds used computers and the internet, instead of now a days when any retard and their dog can use it with ease. Greatly Saddened.
Yes, and in that time when only nerds ruled, there WAS etiquette RIGHT, like for example not starting time paradox arguments or which final fantasy is the best!?
Shit man dont remind me of the CLONESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That was hard as F$^^&**( I remember dying like 100000000000000 times until finally the only one left was the one who had lightning bolts and I was out of magic & was like fuck then one spawned out with a sword when I kill him the other die then I was like Im not taking the game out until I beat it
man,I have spent so much time and patience breaking a joystick , but at the end I've kill all clones and I finished the god mode of gow1 (see the secret message in my videos to believe).
to do this you must have ass and luck ... and then you can reload the rage of the gods "embracing" the family so you can still use the magic.
I died 4 or 5 times on zeus. No help from a guide 2 defeat him or a video. But i was playing on normal and it took me like 45min. I think im going 2 try titan mode... on bonus play 2 make it easier :D
I just mean new games and not bonus play. I died a lot on my first titan mode game and I die a lot on certain parts of the game now. I might try a speed run sometime but I know I'll be pretty slow compared to these guys on you-tube.
You don't need to play a game fanatically all the time to get good at it; you know the Genesis classic "Disney's Aladdin?" Got up every morning at 7 a.m. sharp, played it 30 minutes a day every school day before going to school, and after only a month I got really good. Even though its been years since I played it I know it so well I can do a speed run. Just play, have fun, and the skill comes of its own accord.
wouldnt shit like this cause a time paradox? you know , destroy the universe ? oh well its cool so i dont care. best way to die is watchin this kinda stuff before ya go i guess.
Well Well. I wish i had that much confidence, but you know what a game is like, always likes to play with your mind. Of course i have no mind. Wich is part of the probolem.
Shit, your better than me. I died like...i don't know...a gazillion times? And you beat use just like that with zero kills? Dude you need to train me. 5 Stars.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is nothing, I'm better than this one. Maybe he is fast, but he was almost dead. I only use golden fleece and kronos' rage the first time, blades of chaos in the second one, again golden fleece and kronos' rage and finally rage of the titans. It takes a little more time but it is more efective.
First siren widow to minigame in about 3 seconds. I love it. People saying its not Titan when it says it quite clearly on the load screen. That just cracks me up.
lol ridiculous eh, it's not even like I edited anything. It says TITAN and further proof can be found in the behaviour of the actual game (damage dealt/taken etc).
If you know what you are looking you van tell it is Titan. If you bother to read you can also tell it is Titan. Or do they think you edited on a different load screen?
Brutal Handling again you showed them no love whatsoever.
Brilliant and quick battle against Zeus, right now I'm stuck at that phase when Kratos brakes the pilar and smash it against Zeus, always right after that, I get killed. Really frustrating...
Awesome! Haven't knowed that CR is so useful in stage 2. I think it's very necessary for me to redo this part...... I have learned a lot from you, thanks.
Looking forward to the next one. Be sure when going from climbing on a wall to a ceiling, jump off the wall as soon as possible, if possible. I only noticed you do it once. ;)
Yeah I only did it at the nymph hives before the cerberus breeders and the short climb after killing the sisters. I'll definitely use that everywhere else.
