God of War II: swimming glitch at Divine Pools

[Money93450]

2:23 i'm stuck there i can't do anything how to pass that?

[AKheon]

@Money93450

If you see anything like what's on the vid here and it's not a result of deliberate glitching, it could be a loading error.

AHAHA WTF 1:50

hover scooter?

[delcastilloian]

how do you do the long jump>>>it took me 3 hr to do this glitch its driving me crazy. i need to know how do you do the long jump????replay please

[AKheon]

@delcastilloian

You need to jump, use the Spear air attacks, then switch to another weapon than spear momentarily to be able to do a second jump, jump, switch back to spear, do spear air attacks again, then use PR in the middle of the jump (and cancel PR by turning the urn off) to switch direction, more spear air attacks, and then you gotta be lucky to hit the right spot. But seriously, Findlestick found a lot easier way to do this glitch at Divine Pools. Try to search it.

[delcastilloian]

when i change the spear of destiny it will be gone and i have 2 press r2 again its hard >>>

[AKheon]

@delcastilloian

Yeah, it's hard. That's not even the hardest part, though, hitting the water at the end is.

[rene465]

there is a voice in 1:27.

[Money93450]

@rene465 it's said We will never allow you to change your fate Kratos

[TheMrhalo007]

wait, how did u get possidens rage?

[AKheon]

@TheMrhalo007

You can use it on Bonus Play if you find the correct urn.

[SuperWolf3]

Hey AKheon, when I come to 2:43 , the trigger won't load and when I swim into the tunnel like 2:44 and 2:45 I come in the middle of no-where. The only thing I see after 2:44 is darkness. Please respond. Btw, Great vids and especially your GOW 1 & 2 glitch FAQ's are nice, I readed both and they helped me alot!

[AKheon]

@SuperWolf3

It is one of the hardest triggers to hit in around this place. The method I've used is to hang out in the ground level before the chasm in front of the fire-shooting door - you can see the spot at 2:26. Wait until Kratos changes his animation to normal swimming... after that, it should be loaded.

[SuperWolf3]

@AKheon Ok thank you I will try it!

[poru2009]

I m unable to get swimmingness there. Kratos just falls to Infinite depth rather being in swimming stance.

[AKheon]

Are you sure you hit the right spot?

[poru2009]

I m sure, I think there is a very little space with water beyond the wall & I fail to get there. Same Problem is there with IJ method.

[AKheon]

The spot is not easy to hit, but it is possible. There isn't much else I can say, it's all in the vid.

[poru2009]

U r right, after observing ur method, I m finally able 2 do this.

[AKheon]

Good job

[danin900]

god of war 2 was more interesting glitches than many games i have see

[joelzvidz69]

WOW how'd you do it great work

[addaminsain]

ZOMG. I am generally a man of many words but right now I am lost for them.

[zxcv017l]

you done almost impossible.

i spend almost a week to solve this but i fail.

and you are the lucky one............

[AKheon]

Finding the wall breach was the most difficult part.

[zxcv017l]

my way to do this is much more easy then your

this is what i think......with using hammer infinite jump....soon i will upload video for it.

[AKheon]

Ok. I'll be sure to watch it.

[BigVEE]

Figures. I even walked back to that area and did IJ charges. If I'd have thought THAT part was possible to pass through..I may have used the SoD Leap to do the same.

Very nice, but how will you get the Amulet now? Can you just swim (avoiding real water) to it then R1? Or have we reached the point where the runs no longer need the Amulet somehow? What of the Statue Head? Just skipping that part isn't going to cause loading issues?

~BK scene..seen that before

[BigVEE]

NOTE: Am I to take the video by the fireball to mean this is after you got swim glitch at the Divine Pools and NOT from Euryale's area..and thus you activated the load for skipping a whole damn series of levels?

NOTE2: Just finished reading the last part of the description. I suppose this is a rare case where backtracking could pay off in spades....very nice AKheon

[AKheon]

Yes, it's all using the same glitch. Never went to Eurayle's place.

So, you agree that Lakhesis + Atropos can't be beaten without the Amulet?

[BigVEE]

Excellent.

I doubt it could be done even with God Armor on Easy..that's what I'm saying. Not even with a lvl3 Hammer or PR whoring since Atropos just retracts if time isn't comprimised. So I guess I'll just say, "Yes, I concur."

[Surrealgamer]

They don't call this area Divine Pools for nothing, huh?

And hurrah for Kratos' powerful set of lungs!

[AKheon]

Not only funny, it's very useful. Not sure if you've played GoW 2, but while swimming you can skip SO much of the game it's just... very cheesy.

[Surrealgamer]

Sadly, I don't have the God of War series, it's just not my type.

I wonder if it would be possible to speedrun this game if you were able to do this at will...

[AKheon]

There exists a swimming speedrun for this game already. Well, of course you can't swim through the whole game. But a major skip at the middle is done with swimming glitch.

[Surrealgamer]

Wow, so swimming into thin air alone is enough to skip a large section of the middle?

Now that is impressive.

[AKheon]

You can fly over all walls. That should say something about the powerlessness of traditional level designign on this matter.
