[scarytrollface]

HYDRA IS SO HARD I THINK ITS GLITCHED

[hydras2danewbunch]

Kratos: Why don't you cowards fight that thing?

Captain: Because I'm hydra-phobic!

*Kratos facepalms*

[stilltippin718]

you could've made this soooo much easier. there's a shitload of exp hidden over the boat. all you need is poseidon rage at lv.2 and that L1 + sq move.... gravy

[ronclete]

guys pls help me how to kill the hydra boss here?maybe i cant find the tricks in this game,but pls help me,just a few details or procedure,thanks!

[Jounathhann25]

When I first played this, I saw the intro and though (Oh fuck, gotta kill the biggest one first so it won't keep healing the others and wasting my time...)

[MrXicoFelipe]

First time I played this game I was like "ok, one I get up here I will just kill the last head and..."

Hydra: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR

Me: O.O

[calebmaloneblog]

I can never Press O fast enough.

[insectlover602]

GET ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!!

[empoarachomp22]

GUYS KEEP GOD OF WAR 1 ALIVE! IT MAY BE OLD BUT IT IS STILL AS AWESOME AS DREW BREES GETTING A WIN FOR THE SAINTS FOR ONCE!!!

[zertzeomg]

[mw2freak991]

how the fuck do you do this its so fuckin hard

[Videot01]

Get up on the Hydra's back Kratos!!!

[Jason026P]

i came here only for his roar

[RanaRandom]

@Jason026P me too

[Deangelo21530]

@Jason026P Me too!,... I love the hydra because its just so bad ass!

[thedarksavior0]

Wow, is that the first time you faced him?



[bisquick21]

@thedarksavior0 i dont think he wouldve known half the mechanics required if he hadnent already done this. i dont play this game but thats just my view.

[thedarksavior0]

@bisquick21 I just asked because the dodging/defending were next to nonexistent, and the video makes the game look kinda 'slash-em-up' when in truth it requires a little more finesse.

[biovenenonova]

buahhhh.....

[mysterious2012]

at 00:42 Kratos takes the blades out and he's like "oh fuck, another fish to kill"

[harvey5992]

gaggawggwgwf

[shadowhedge016]

GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!

[yashvon]

@shadowhedge016 Lol Hydra ride xd

[thrashmetalmike]

This game is wayyyyy better than God of War 3

[Bthakilla4rilla]

even now in 2011, this is still one of my favorite games of all time

[Sportfan825]

how do you beat it when it says press O i press it i grab the st the pole.

[vegeta8770]

that dude he saved at the end well he didnt he killed him three times

[devildeamond321]

the big hydra isnt that freaky people!

[devildeamond321]

the big hydra isnt that freky people!

[devildeamond321]

those little freaking hydras are annoying as hell!

[97PrinceOfPersia97]

is this ps3 version? (ri-edited)

[BermudaPenguin07]

Nothing like fighting monsters from Greek mythology as well as Greek Gods

[gratzy123]

this is so easy :)

[TwiztedMessiah]

Ryu would have the hydra and Kratos dead before Kratos could pin the first head.

[RLseries]

@TwiztedMessiah which ryu

[TwiztedMessiah]

@RLseries Hayabusa, of course. Who else?

[RLseries]

@TwiztedMessiah good because for a moment there i thought you meant the street fighter ryu but you right ryu hayabusa would kill them all

[femen1]

thanks so good video you help me thanks!

[Spoli17]

@xchickenmanx yeah. just mash.

[exema14]

nice video but it took u for ever to kill that hydra lol

[matthew129101]

@exema14 true but he was probably playing a difficult mode or he didnt upgrade his swords.

demons demons demons a transformer for some reason.

[realmasscer]

how can you kill the hydra

[IamCreature1]

11 people got owned trying to kill this

[thepedro1996]

I´D LOVE TO SEE THIS ON XBOX

[SquigPie]

I can't play non of the GOW games frankly, for some reason the circle button spam minigames are next to impossible, I may not be the greatest button spammer in the world, but do the games really demand me to press the button more than 10 times per sec to tilt over a freaking tree on easy?

[shadowthepikmen]

wow thats one strong mass to with stand the hyrda

[Godofthemagi]

i remember when i was playing thsi and i didnt know you had to crush/impale the hydra heads and they kepty coming back to life i was 6 or sumthing and i was going DIE ! WHY WONT YOU DIE!

[Kwatsu]

I remember playing this when it came out and going "Holy crap, this is the FIRST LEVEL?"

The Hydra battle is still one of my favourite gaming moments ever. That Hydra roar brings it right back.

[MegaLeoplurodon]

If this was Semi-Real, I think the Hyrda would win.

[vidaa22]

i cant even begin to explain how hardcore, tough, and scary that hyrda roar is. imagine bein on a planet full of hydra's, it's midnight and you hear that roar from 10 miles away. its coming....and theres nothing you can do about it.

[sasuketheuchiha2444]

the only thing that can compare to the big hydra is my ex-gf!

[Necrosnape]

hydra is so beautiful non

[LtheKyuuketsukiNeko]

gaaah after the part where you hit O and hold on to the big hydra's head what do you press so that it bangs its head onto the pole thingy? it keeps killing me! ><

[killerjames56]

the captain dosen't help

[grabiod44]

awww the hydra looks cute

[kaiyas909]

@grabiod44 ... o.O

[ErasmusBasset]

Stereo sound. HAVE. YOU. HEARD. OF. IT?

[MegaScoobyman]

i found out something dum if u play hard mode u can beat her easy i did lol dum right try it

[phantomofopera3]

i'm a beginner at god of war and i just got killed by this thing. thanks for posting this video.. maybe i wont die a second time lol

[oldsnake8592]

why were the fishermen trying to fight a HYDRA with a paddle ? o_O

[Zizerx11]

@oldsnake8592 well i guess they were trying to catch it and they forgot their nets lol

[JediXful]

spartan total warrior is better!

[TitanWar93]

When I fought the Hydra the roar was very loud

[deckmaster25]

fuck you idiot

[Volviert]

The first time I saw Hydra`s head...HOLY SHIT?! One of the best boss fighting ever

[amartinez97]

The Hydra VS the Kraken who wins? i say the Hydra by far

[realmwarss]

@amartinez97 and thats when Kratos jumps in and kills them both.

[MrMeineNamen]

at end

Man:Thank the gods you came for me.

Kratos:I didnt come back for you.

*breaks key off necklace* *man plumets*

[Portilloizay]

Poseidon; save me. :(

[sn00ps66]

I can't press O fast enough can someone help?

[dylantiger2]

@sn00ps66 you just gotta press it!

[Kajo83]

you're fighting like a lame with hydra - 5 combo, poseidon, 5 combo, poseidon ect. = over 60 combo untill hydra falls down :) Hydra is squeking then like a murdering pig ;D

[SailorMars768]

The hydra's roar is bone-chilling.

[chhor92]

Hell yeah! It's the 2nd best roar ever next to Godzilla's.

[MrCampap]

my cousin finish up this boss so fast. he was like freaking expert. like 5 mins he's done with this

[Punkrockfan001]

see how choppy the framerates are.

thats all smoothed out and running perfectly and higher graphics on the remastered ps3 version

[BakedSoda]

Hydra will always be one of the coolest monsters ever

[thuglifex2]

would the Hydrta be considered a titan or a sea creature

[sixsamuraijoe]

Hydra was the off spring of Typon, who is a titan, so yeah hes a titan

[ZachM1324]

Typhon wasnt a Titan *facepalm* hes the father of all monsters and husband of Echidna (mother of all monsters)

[Punkrockfan001]

the graphics and the framerates are alot higher on the remastered edition of god of war 1 and 2 for the PS3

AWESOME GAME

[4eyedCyclopes]

ha, you bunch of homos...i told my girlfriend what keiltyrules said and she did it and bet the hydra in 2 minutes...if you fucks jack off as slow as you tap a button, i bet yall never get off.

[gooddeath]

God damn this retarded game. I can't press O fast enough to beat him. This is the most retarded reason for not being able to beat a game that I've ever had: not being able to tap O fast enough? Are you fucking KIDDING me?

[radecsnipez]

same here

ive tried 2 days non stop and still cant

have you

[Punkrockfan001]

@gooddeath

if you cant press 0 fast enough,then its you thats retarded dude,not the game...lol

I almost finished the game on the ps3 version. am upto hades challenge. so yea dont go saying the games retarded,its you thats retarded if you cant press o fast enough.lol

[gooddeath]

HERP DERP you should really proud that you can press a button really fast in sequence. I'm sure that you'll get real far in life with that skill.

[Punkrockfan001]

@gooddeath

least I have a life unlike you, you cock sucking cum guzzling bitch. I dont spend my days trolling on youtube,like you OBVIOUSLY do. go teabag ya dad. your pathetic,and a waste of space retard.lol

[sharkman265]

no its u whos retarded i cant do it ether you have to have a moddified controller or a turbo controller to do this boss

[Punkrockfan001]

well I did it on a standard D3 PS3 controller.

so you calling me a god then dipshit? because I did it without any of that.lol

[PatarPattie]

Does anyone else think that the Hydra sounds scary as hell?

[TheSteinmetz342]

@PatarPattie well how'd you think it'd sound like a lil kitten meow?

[arbitner]

@PatarPattie Yup. It makes me to buy from demo to full version game :D

[shmorris56]

I just got this game today and i have to take it back cuz i cannot press the circle button fast enough so i cant pass the hydra :(

[Homicide419]

The big Hydra's roar is sooo badass, and how the water comes pourin out its mouth when it roars makes it look so realistic 0:48

[Marcelinhoes]

Playstation 2 is already a thing of the past, poor games Graphics

[zeldafreakje]

This was awesome back then, and it still is

[Marcelinhoes]

where are you from?

[zeldafreakje]

Dude, I get the graphics are older, but to call them poor? Sure, newer games look nice and all but this game still kicks ass.

[lyonsrobbie999]

Well, this game and it's graphics look pretty badass to me. Just got a PS3 (60GB), can't wait to get this and Shadow Of The Colossus. :)

[12278419]

i fucking love god of war but my ps2 passed away :( but im gonna buy again a ps2 and i will buy again gow 1 and 2 and 3 when it comes out

[agumento28]

Hey how did u kill the hydra without upgradin the blades of chaos? i wanna try it, it looks fun

[XiaoXiaoMan1123]

If you REALLY know what you're doing, you can get your blades upgraded to level 2 during this battle.

[solantap]

kk really im greek and a hydra is a reptile that can grow till 12 heads and the water version is called scylla and they are the followers of posiden

[madiemadie11]

I'm having a really hard time with that hydra. No matter how fast I press "o" I always lose. I think I will try switching controlers. But now I will know if I won or not.

[oloompop]

No offense, but I played this game back in 2nd grade and beat the hyrda... =|

[ShadofCollosus1899]

how could kratos blades be attached to chains from his arms and then he puts them away behind his back.

it doesent makes sense.

his blades should be dangling from his arms when not in use.

thus has been bugging me from when i first played the game.

o and btw funnest boss in gow history!!

[k1ll3rbunny]

lol the captain got owned at the beginning

[xNightsAfterDreamsx]

since kratos controls time in GOW 3 you should like go back in time and fight hydra again i would love to see this in PS3 graphics!!!

[Fabianis1337]

I do believe this is Scylla, not Hydra...

[warelord360]

dude, the hydra has three heads. and if u can count, then you will see its three heads..

[Flabbe96]

Really, in greek mythology hydra had 12 heads. If anything, this would be scylla, even though it had 7 heads.

Oh and something else

This game looks awesome!

[madamfoidart]

you're right. Hydra was never a sea monster, but I bet they figured no one would know what scylla was.

[ImaginationExplorer]

I always thought the other two heads were the 'Hydra's' babies. so I merely presumed it was a Hydra. But then again, who knows really? We're not the makers of this game are we? ... even though I wish I were..

[keiltyrules]

Well actually you do find out it's the hydra. When you become the god of war at the end of the game you can look at your defeated foes and see that it's the hydra. In the second game you can also acquire hydra armour to use in bonus play.

[londea88]

How do you train your fingers to be able to press that fast? I have been forced to smach my chin against the controller as well as wham my whole floor against it.

[keiltyrules]

Haha what? I have no idea what you're referring to that I said I did.

[londea88]

Im asking how do you get your fingers strong enough to press the damn circle button? Im about to throw this controller out the window.

[keiltyrules]

Haha to press the circle button for what? Like tapping it really quickly? I don't know I just use my thumb and I'm used to it...if you want to do it the ghetto way take your right hand and just use your index finger and tap it super fast.

[londea88]

Would putting it on the ground and stomping on it work?

[keiltyrules]

Haha naw I don't get why you can't tap your index finger quickly for it. That's pretty much the only way you can tap it quickly if you can't do it with your thumb. Just put the controller on your leg and tap the circle button with your index finger.

[londea88]

Well Im kind of stupid so the only thing that would help me is seeing someone actually do it.

[londea88]

What should I do?

[keiltyrules]

Haha I have no clue man...if you jerk off a lot it shouldn't be a problem. But I don't know what to say. The easiest way to do it is put the controller on your leg and use one of your fingers to push down the circle button really quickly.

[londea88]

Is it possible it's cause of my fatass controller? It's the huge red one that I find is almost impossible to use.

[keiltyrules]

Naw unless your circle button is broken it shouldn't matter if you do it the way I said to. Just instead of holding the controller normally, put the controller on your leg, and use your index finger on your right hand to tap it.

[londea88]

I thought it only had twelve heads if you cut it's heads off and more grew back or is that only for the disney movie?

[XBirthBySleepX]

In GoW, I love how in the beginning of eacgh game, they make you fight a huge boss.

[warelord360]

poor hydra it just wanted some food.....

[Pegasus969095]

.....i don't think you would face her kiss her and say my little hydra xP

she would bite your head off xP

---better don't start off with Kratos :P Gow rules :D

[warelord360]

well, I don't think it helps when u cuts her(or maybe him ^^) to tiny pieaces before you drags its head onto a sharp pole.....

[worrior1975]

man whoever was playin this sucked bad srry to say, u spent to much time in the air and u would have done more damage using ground combos

[ImaginationExplorer]

Actually, the person playing was doing really well when it came to the timeing of the game, especially with the first two heads. though they did spend a little too much time in the air; which made the battle last longer, they did rather well. Otherwise, I agree with your thought on using ground combos.

[sigloz]

<3333333333 this hydra

[B23pimpin]

do u fight the hydra in 3 2 or 1

[rogueshdw]

i wanna play these games soooo bad! they look so good. this and prince of persia are my fav games

[kdettwirler]

i <3 this game. i beat it and now i am trying to beat the second one! i cant seem to get past medusa though!

[TerminatorCojari]

I love the way the Hydra looks and sounds!! And the way it dies looks hella painful!! This is the best action game on Earth hands down!!

[doodskie999]

You have to keep pulling the hydra's head until the pole breaks then you can pierce its head into the pole.... make sure to make the perfect timing when the buttons appear when your grabbing the hydra

[lakersownsuns]

i know how to beat the two little dragons, but i dont know how to beat hydra? it says press circle repeatedly and i do but everytime it doesnt work, i need help!pleez!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRealKimmimaru]

i hit 0 soo hard put nothing happens i rapid hit but hydra always wins how?

[peppermint23]

beautiful graphics!

[ahrims7]

man that must be hard like shit

[darthstarvader]

how come when i face the big one and do the minigame it doesnt work. i pressed circle repeatedly really fast but i still couldnt pull him into the pole. help me plz

[DarkSuperTails]

there is no "mini game" you need to pin the heads down, to do this knock them so they fall over like usual, see those crates like steps on either side? go up them and jump on the harpoon platform at the top of them above the heads to pin them down, do this for both, THEN go after the big one

[lakersownsuns]

no dude hestalkin about the big hydra?how exactly do u beat it? i press circle when it appears above the hydra but it does nothing...

[DarkSuperTails]

oh, that means you aren't close enough most likely. You have to get to the very edge of the platform straight in front of it's face and press O to start the thing, then keep pressing O. If you aren't close enough or not right in front, it wont start

[lakersownsuns]

but like wut about when u need to get the hydras head to smash into the pole? how exactly do u do that?

[DarkSuperTails]

well you know when it lands on one side of the pole when you hit it enough and the O button xcommand comes up right? be on the OTHER SIDE of the pole and press it, Kratos will attach the things to his face and just keep pressing O super fast, once the head is pulled close enough he will smash it into him, oyu have to do this like 3 or 4 times then it will turn inot a sharp spike...then you do what I said before and it will impale him on the spike, ergo killing the hydra

[lakersownsuns]

haha wow all those time i cudnt get it, and now i do..haha thx bro u really helped out alot i can finaly move on to the next level :D

[DarkSuperTails]

I'm glad ^^ you'll have fun with it. I beat it and beat the second game about a week ago, the puzzles are hard though...it might get pretty difficult at times.

[lakersownsuns]

thx and yeah this entire game is made to be difficult but it i definitley the best for ps2

[DarkSuperTails]

it is. It was Meant (underline, bold and italics "menat) for 18 year olds and up, so the puzzles are their level...of course we end up with 14 year olds playing it and getting pissed because they hate the puzzles xD

[lakersownsuns]

haha

[londea88]

There's a difference between a challenge and frustrating

[doodskie999]

timing, just timing...

[lakersownsuns]

so like wut kind of timing? when?

[9i9bk]

kinda a letdown.the boss fight.

dont get me wrong,everything was cool about it,but the only wrong thing was that it gave no red orbs at its death.oh well,the fight made many forget all about the orbs =D

[djsanborja89]

pero k feo muere hydra

[Mercuriussnake]

The Hydra's roar kicks ass.

[01GTr]

i sooo want that roar as a ringtone

[Mercuriussnake]

Same here.

[VerticalSh0ck]

its not even fun in easy mode...

beat them in god mode like i did xD

[razormoviez]

I remember this.I didn't have enough space so I couldn't save my data.But I didn't care.I liked the hydra boss.

[schmoo1507]

get a new memory card next time then lol

[JaNJ93]

what's the difficulty level?

[earthmaster5000]

press 0 with your index finger

[JDBaiocco]

whie mexican i feel ur pain i pissed off too

[RafaYT]

My God of War DVD have problems... When I'm at 9:10 the screen blinks and then shows Kratos and the two Hydras dead but no big Hydra... She is gone... WTF!?!?!?

[cheritebo]

dude go after one hydra at a time. it makes it so much easier.

[whitemexicanboy71]

i cant get the hydras head to smash into the poll and i hit the button as hard and fast as i can. is there a trick or sometin im missing cuz this is really startting to pis me off.
