God of war 2 - Invisible Prometheus glitch

You can drop a non-existent Prometheus!
Note: You are seeing the sequences in this video in the exact order that they were carried out.

Could not resist screwing up this sequence either! I wanted to see how the game would react if I skipped Prometheus by going up the "loose chain", then visited Typhon and then returned...this is the result.

Points of interest:
1. You get a strange camera angle at the start (at the top of the "loose chain" wooden contraption). Note how you can see into the horizen (right side of the screen), cool infinite clouds!.

2. You cant destroy that Wooden crate up the top (that makes the climbable rope drop) unless you die or restart for some reason.

3. When I return from Typhon, Prometheus is hanging there (with the bird still up on top) even though, I NEVER broke him free from his chains, at the start. The game just assumes that you must of, since it figures you can never get to typhon without doing so, so it loads a "dangling" Prometheus nonetheless! (If the programming was consitent the bird would not be there either, but lets not go there)

4. (As expected/normal) Even though Kratos was really far away when he shoots Prometheus into the fire, the game loads him in front of the fire after the FMV.

5. After triggering the first cutscene last, there is no Prometheus (as expected) but his chains are there still attached to the hand, as if there were an invisible Prometheus there!.

6. You cant drop down from the hand until you break the non-existent Prometheus' chains.

7. When you do drop down the non-existant Prometheus (by breaking his chains), the cutscene goes on as normal without Prometheus' sounds or images. (For the record, I did drop down and try to shoot the non-existent Prometheus into the fire....with no result.)

Oh shi-.

You did find the glitch, so I wasted time on that >__>.

Was the area back to Pegasus loaded after you dropped the invisible Prometheus? I remember that area not being loaded after I had either dropped invisible Prometheus, or after I had dropped him.

I hung around looking for other glitches after dropping invisible Prometheus, I didnt return to pegasus straight away, but I dont recall that area not loading.

Maybe if done quickly... it would be an useful skip for a 100% run?

Good point, Maybe using long jump to jump from one end to the other? (Im still working on my long jumps at the mo)
