God of War - A major sequence break... almost.

Right before Poseidon's Challenge, face one of the walls on the chasm and "nth high jump" until you pass the invisible boundary.
Wham! No more Poseidon's Challenge. :)

The underwater passage needs to be traversed through in order for the next area to load. I found this out by trial and error, and the cut in the video is just removing the boring part in the middle.

Unfortunately it seems that you need at least one certain item from Poseidon's challenge to complete the next part... unless a way is found.

I can see your point...skipping a whole portion could be very useful for a short run, it's just too bad that skipping more likely than not can/will cause game crashes or freezes due to game confusion. Skillfully done jumps/landing in the desired spot.

[AKheon]

The game will not crash from skipping areas in God of War, generally speaking.

[Leessen]

Yeah, sorry that was just a thought. I heard you say somewhere that with the DB costume you can do Poseidon's Challenge before Atlas. Could you do Poseidon's then come back to the rings, climb the ladder and access the tunnel to skip directly to Hades Challenge with the Trident in hand?

[Leessen]

I would try it myself but I haven't figure out how to get to Poseidon's Challenge first, yet.

[AKheon]

You can, but you need all the skulls in order to get to the upper pandora, so Atlas's Challenge is necessary to complete.

[AKheon]

Do an "infinite jump" (easiest with Blade of Artemis air combos + Poseidon's rage) until you get over the outer ring's edge to the inner sections.

i bet the creators never thought anyone could do this stuff

[AKheon]

Just to update on the situation, I tried it out and it isn't possible.

[AKheon]

But yeah, it would save time. BTW, check out the next video in the series. It shows an easier way of doing this sequence break.

[AKheon]

The sacrificial room might remain loaded if you didn't approach the next area after getting the Trident. Then, if it would be possible to get through the door (indeed, if the door is even shut at this point), you could backtrack. A lot of "ifs"...
