God of War, Port of Athens Glitch

This glitch allows Kratos to enter the water at the Port of Athens. Consequently, Kratos can go beyond the nets and there are many interesting things to see and do there, but I'm not going to go into them now. Most fascinating is the swimming glitch, which can be activated at the boat or by passing the level's boundaries while swimming. I'd appreciate AKheon's input in this area.

1) An alternate way to clear the area by using the glitch... it saves one second. :/

2) Beyond the Infinite.

I'm linking to this video in the glitch FAQ, if you don't mind.

It's uploaded. Very well played. Your execution is superior to mine and its nice to see it done so efficiently.  Thanks again.

LOL at 2nd part...

[kevbew63]

Thanks a lot. I just woke up and I have to leave for a few hours but I'll get it up today and make sure to give you credit.

Okay... Nobody want, to make new extremely speedrun from God of War I?

Okay, I finished. I don't mind capturing for another God of War player, especially since I'm not busy atm, but please do put "played and captured by satvara" at the bottom of the vid description at least.

I clear it in about a minute in the video so maybe you can call it "Saving the Oracle in one minute" or something. I'm not sure about the statue route though, but whatever. I hope it's good enough for ya.

CHECK YOUR INBOX.

I'll just add that the area at the innermost ring is a bit strangely built, as it has two layers of obstacle: one where Kratos catches the "swimmingness", other which forces him under the surface.

[satvara]

...but yours would be better. ;D

I'll go play real quick. I won't be long.

[AKheon]

So if an obstacle formation like that could be found, it would be awesome... I once tried to glitch into the water at this area, trying to Stomp to about every unstable stone wall in the area, but didn't succeed. This I'll have to try out myself right now.

[AKheon]

I have a theory about obstacles being able to artificially push Kratos under the water's surface, so that he could swim normally, even without Poseidon's Trident. F.e. at Rings of Pandora, at the inner circle which is filled with water, the ceiling is so low Kratos passes straight through the surface and can swim like normal in the enclosed area.
