God of War 2 - Speed Record (Part 2 of 9 - Rhodes Palace to Hades)

Speed record , part 2 of 9.

Notes:
1. I used CR to kill the enemies at the puzzle with the moving statue and the buttons, I feel that AQ is overkill there. I did it so that I was free to move while the enemies were convulsing and then dying.

2. At Colossus' eye - After the balcony Collapses, leave "O" pressed at athe bottom and Kratos will keep running during the cutscene to end up under the grapple/climbing wall. I went slightly too far, but its better than not going far enough.

3. Balance beam skip - An archer hit me in the back just as I was gonna carry out the jump, hence costing me some time. And possibly cost me any advantage that the skip would give me. Also got nailed by a pesky archers shortly after the Zeus BoO cutscene, lost a second or 2.

4. Early hand use at Colossus III - Went as planned.

5. Skips inside Colossus - Happy with how it went, there were a few minor errors but I was generally pleased. My contoller button got jammed when I went to use CR on the final core as I jumped the blue beam. Cost me some time, but not too bad. The skips inside Colossus have a very small margin for error, hence requiring high skill to do them all in a row without errors. Quite hard.

6. At Hades - At the start of Hades, my controller was not responding so I lost a few seconds as Kratos just hanged there on the wall not moving for a few seconds. I almost became detatched from the wall as well, which would have killed me. I would have had to start all the way back at the "Rhodes Palace savepoint" had this happened. *Shudders*

~All in all I was pleased with this whole part of my run, skipping the Eastern Ramparts savepoint is no small feat.

Yeah, the margin for error inside Colossus is very thin. Probably the hardest part of the whole run, i feel.
