@eze9219 Finishing the challenges of the Gods l believe.

[tyrhhjy]

i used AR MAX.

[tyrhhjy]

I know how to skip the hydra boss and small heads.

[AKheon]

Elaborate, please.

[AKheon]

Well?

LOL The Beginning

[Frungi]

That last glitch, I got stuck like that the first time I played the game. The opening was hilarious, how'd you manage that?

[AKheon]

You must lure one of the enemies inside the ship at the start. It won't attack you but just runs around in circles.

[JFCalibur88]

LOL. You know how many times I've tried that to! Seems like the baby hydra would interrupt whatever attack he was doing and start the suck animation. Never let me up to the upper deck. I even tried a few little things here and there but he would still get me. Nice find!

[RE4penguin]

Hey, I have a GameFAQs account too!

[drifter19]

great. i tried skipping the small hydra before, failed. kept being knocked down.

[addaminsain]

How very humane

[AKheon]

If you could only high jump to the rope that takes you back to the first ship...

[satvara]

HJ'ing to the exit rope has never been the problem. The problem is the previous ship area unloads once Poseidon Rage is acquired.

So, I guess we should all thank GFaqs for this one then, eh? Not a good sign.

[AKheon]

Ok. I remembered having seen JFCalibur's video where he shows us the rope slide, but didn't remember that it ends a bit tragically. Reminded myself just a moment ago by watching that video again...

How have your GoW businesses went lately?

[satvara]

>>Well, AR is not needed. A standard HJ will suffice. Skipping the entire battle was a real possibility for me when I did my 1:21, but obviously it all ended up at the bottom of the ocean. :/

[satvara]

"How have your GoW businesses went lately?"

>>Lately? Slacking as always. ;) But I think there were some videos I wanted to post about 2 months ago or something. I probably just got busy and forgot.

[satvara]

IIRC, one was probably substantial and was even older than the others by another month or so. It basically showed that Naked (or non-DB) Kratos could reach the unloaded TotE after CoA with mere ABLs. Aside from the swimming glitch, what interested me the most was how the rings would reset their position when Kratos both entered and exited the unloaded TotE.

[satvara]

Whatever leads I came up with came to a halt once I learned that the light beam seemed to have to "physically" touch the crystal even if the rings are set. I could be wrong though.

[AKheon]

The game seems to be pretty strict about any sort of walls on the beam's way.

[AKheon]

Never realized the rings resetting part. Please put the video up if you still have it, I'll look into this thing on my next playthrough.

[kevbew63]

After you kill the hydra and trigger the cutscene, I assume you can go on as usual...?

[AKheon]

Yup.

[riningan]

This has potential in a speedrun.

[BigVEE]

Well suprise suprise. True afterall

~Nice ending
