God of War: a makeshift harpy orb fountain.

This isn't hard to set up. You just have to make sure Kratos has some standing space between the statues, as little as possible, though.

Unfortunately this attempt didn't last forever, only for about 2000 orbs. It gives more or less depending on where the harpy lands, in best cases 'infinitely'. The best part is that you can do this trick again relatively easily. (if you're not satisfied with what you get the first time through.)

It seems to start the easiest if you use a string of weak attacks on the harpy conveniently placed behind the statues. There are ways to make the orb stream a lot faster too - it depends a lot on how the harpy dies - but I'm not sure if they can be reproduced easily. This is sure but a very slow method.

Thanks for the video man - Just gave it a shot on the PS3 Collection and got an infinite on the first try. I stood in front of the chest nearest to the fountain, and as a few mentioned - just stood there, no holding block or anything =D I happened to get a really good flow rate too - but I'm guessing that's just due to the luck of the draw as you mentioned. Fun playing this again so many years later and checking out all the crazy stuff you can do lol

@seganaomigdrom

Nice if you got it to work that easily. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though, for crazy stuff that is possible in this game. :)

This glitch is useless for "infinite" red orbs for the PS3 version, but it can supply a good amount of them. The 'ladder glitch' is much better to use, IMO.

This glitch stops after a while because the incoming Harpies will hit and stop the glitching Harpie. You then have to do it all over again, but it's not hard to do.

Plus, this area has been patched for the PS3 version. Eventually, the Harpies stop giving red orbs. If you have to restart the glitch, that could mean no more orbs.

[AKheon]

If you mean that the harpies stop giving red orbs when you've killed enough of them, that's nothing new: it's on PS2 as well.

I agree with everything else in your post.

haahahaah mine go stuck between the statues and its like atacking but just making wierd streeching noises :D

[TAZ427COBRA]

@AKheon Nope - Just now playing it, and the Harpies in the room don't leave red orbs when killed. That was their fix.

After I got the glitch started I just went inbetween those two pillars on the right wall and held block,after a while they stopped attacking me just flying in place looking at me.GREAT GLITCH FOR EARLY ON.wHO WANTS TO WAIT TIL CLOSER TO THE END OF THE GAME TO DO THE HARPY/LADDER GLITCH!!!!!!

I tried this with GoW PS2 Platinum version. It's slower than the Atlas ladder glitch and a little harder to pull off but it works. I'm using the dumb looking "Dairy Bastard" costume so I bet it'd be even slower with the normal one.

I hid Kratos in the right hand statue compartment after setting up the orb fountain, the one with the chest. It stops the harpies attacking you so no holding down L1.

[AKheon]

Those are all good tips. Thanks.

Continue...

When you hide Kratos in that green/blue chest nook, it stops the harpies from attacking but from the front.. 7.) Use a rubber band to hold down L1 which blocks all harpie attacks. And here's the important one, 8.) Clear all the harpies from the picture frame without moving Kratos out of it, and the harpies wont enter anymore! AWESOME! Not a one attacked after I got Kratos in that position, and cleared all the harpies out of it.

So, this is a good place to red orb glitch.
