Poseidon wasted glitch potential (Re-uploaded)

I wanted to re-upload a more conclusive video of this wasted glitch potential for the sake of the FAQ. It's nothing new but I felt that the other vid wasnt as clear as to what exactly happens if you decide to skip all Poseidon phases (except for the final one).

This will also be my final video for a while, Ive got some things coming up that will take up huge chunks of my time. Which is a shame cos the glitch potential on this game is huge, Ill probably still upload a vid here and there. But Im short on time atm. Ill probably return at some stage for a speedrun of this when the game's skips and speedrun strategies are more established.

Points of interest:
1. Using Jet Dash, you can skip from the 1st Poseidon battle to the final one.

2. Final Poseidon is there without a mini-game circle over his head, hiitting him makes it come back so you can finish him off.

3. After killing him - If you go to the hole where Gaia's finger is you lose ALL control of Kratos (and you dont see the cutscene of Gaia's finger lifting Kratos up...

4. ...at this stage the game loads the rest of the complete cutscenes of Gaia/Zeus/falling to Hades. All this is wasted glitch potential, since Hades never loads, all you get is a blank screen. You cant enter the menus, you can hear Kratos still moving around in the hole where Gaia's finger normally is. You then have to quit game.

Nice one man LOL why is Poseidon kneeling down there when he's suppose to be inside his big water summon. Very funny indeed.

[findlestick]

@ale03000 We've caught the game with it's pants down. Poseidon is there all along, developers never intended for us to be able to reach him before we've dealt with the bigger Poseidon.

This video contained some new info. I had thought that the pit contained insta-death collision, like it does later, but you say it's actually just loading the cutscene of meeting Zeus? Interesting...

Did you see if Hades loaded in a game where you had first done final stage, then fought the whole boss normally?

If it worked, and you could reach final stage Poseidon in less that 44 secs (length of dissolving cutscene) you would save time.

@AKheon Butif you kill final Poseidon and then restart checkpoint, and do all the rest normally from Poseidon I. Hades loads normally. That is shown at the end of my "Glitch Package 2" vid.

@KeybladeHeart1 Google or YouTube "NG+ Glitch". Its a glitch that gives you all weapons maxed out from the start of the game (except blades of exile).
