God of War 2 - Titan Mode Massive Skip (Normal Play)

Easily skip Barbarian King, Euryale, Cerebus, Perseus and others in Titan mode "Normal Play".

NOTE: You CAN get through the game WITHOUT the fleece!! The game automatically gives you the fleece when you get to Zeus (even though you skipped it)...

During my speed run I was doing some experimenting to see if I could trim down the method of getting swimmingness in this area. I was going to unveil this method of getting swimming later when I complete my speed run, but I decided to share it now. This vid is mainly for beginners and speedrunners.

Getting swimming itself here is not new, check out AKheon's vid on the original method of swimming at the divine pools:

If you wanna see a good way of triggering all the areas to be able to progress, check out this vid:

Points of Interest:
1. There is a collision flaw at the divine pools area which is easy to do.

2. This can be done in "Normal Play" on any degree of difficulty (Titan mode even). You dont waste any orbs on upgrade jumps or magic.

3. Can be used for any speed run on any difficulty.

4. Bad points: You dont get the Barbarian hammer, You dont get Euryale's Head, you dont get the Fleece, you dont get the Spear and you dont get lots of valuable red orbs. So weigh all this up before going on with this skip in Titan mode normal play.

@Money93450 You have to trigger the fight with "Icarus". At the end of this video is a link that shows you how to hit all the loading triggers.

Through extreme luck, I managed to do it once without falling but stuck in the Great Chasm part 1 where Kratos must Spiderman-ized a lot of grapple points. The area beyond square entrance after the last grapple didn't loaded, and only a sea of mist before black out completely.

I failed the 2nd attempt to swim again till now.

Might help if you can create HD version of this video, to see where exactly Kratos must stand before rolling.

I'm in Titan Mode-Normal Play,all in lvl 1

lsd is one hell of a drug huh kratos?:)))))it often makes you think you can fly or swim in air

[surerman77]

oh! I forgot to mention!

I played GOW 2 using emulator PCSX2 r4600 final version

When play GOW 1 with this Emulator, infinite red orbs at Oracle Temples play nicely so I doubt it's my emulator fault.

Is it because during my Air Swim, I'm still opened Phoenix Feather and Gorgon Eye's chest?

when i cross the bridge i can't see the way to pass through
