God Of War 3 - No More Quick Time Sex Scenes For Kratos!

[Jagos]

Hades Helmet - bottom of Styx river after you kill Hades
Helios' Shield - to the right of his dead body
Hermes' Coin - go to trail of blood in upper right corner from where you killed him.

They're all easily missed.

Gotta admit Hermes is a pretty fun sequence even though he's a cocky little bastard.

And Poseidon got his @$$ beat... Whoa boy...

[Arcanum]

Hades Helmet was easy to find. It's actually one of the standard GoW moments where the camera points one way and you say to yourself "what's that? I'm supposed to go that way but there is no evident wall behind me? Screw that I'm looking behind me first."

Helios' shield I missed on the first time though, same with Hermes' coin and a few others. I'm at Aphrodite's love palace on my hard difficulty play through now, and I have all the items up 'till that point.

Also, I don't think it's possible to upgrade everything on a normal play through. I think you need to have the god item that increases the number of orbs you get (I think it's Hermes' coin), and then replay the game on a difficulty you've already beaten.

Also Hawk, the God items are listed in the menu in the order they are found, so it's not that hard to figure out which sections of the game you should be keeping your eyes peeled for missed loot.

Yeah I knew I missed Helios' shield. Didn't know about the coin though. There were still 2 others before Heras cup, I'm guessing those are things belonging to Hepheastus and Aphrodite, those are the only 2 I don't think I picked something up for.

I'll get them at some point.

Anyone tried out the challenges yet? They're as difficult as ever, I can only manage 2. I was never good at those though.

[Arcanum]

Ok so I'm a lying SOB. Just finished up my Titan/hard difficulty play through and I maxed out everything in the labyrinth, with a couple thousand red orbs left over by the time I fought Zeus.

Also, I'm missing two God items. One of them is somewhere between Poseidon's conch and Hephaestus' ring. I assume this belongs to Aphrodite but I couldn't find anything in her room and I have no idea how to get it, unless the only way to get it is to refuse to bang her the first time. The second item I'm missing is the last one, so I dunno who's it might be.

edit -- As for the challenges, I haven't beaten Get Stoned or Knockout, although I haven't even tried Knockout yet. Get Stoned is just frustrating as hell. Bare Hands was pretty annoying too, but mostly because of the time limit. I got lucky though and managed to push one of the stone statues and the cyclops off the ledge.

[Jagos]

Am I the only one that thinks Hercules is a Big Boasting Muscle for Brained idiot?

And Hera... Wow. That is NOT what I expected.

-Edit- Found Hercules' Shoulder Guard. Beat him, dip in water, at bottom.

Check my other post for updates as I look around.

[Arcanum]

Ok so I finally beat the last two challenges. Knockout was super easy, you just ride a cyclops around, smashing things off the arena. Get Stoned was much harder, but I found that using the Hermes shoes to launch people into the air and have 'em float there helps a bunch. I'm pretty sure I just got lucky though.

Also, yeah, I was really shocked with how they did Hera. Although since her husband runs around making babies with random women all the time it kind of makes sense.

Also I found the last God item, turns out I was only missing Aphrodite's thing. Although that still leaves something missing in that menu, and I have yet to figure out what it might be. EDIT -- Ok so turns out the last thing in the menu is the Boreas ice stone thing.


Here's the full item list though:

Zeus Eagle - In Gaia's heart at the beginning of the game. Climb the vines on the right side of the room before moving the pillar.
Hades' Helm - What Jagos said
Helios' Shield - What Jagos said
Hermes' Coin - What Jagos said
Hercules' Shoulder Pad - What Jagos said
Poseidon's Conch Shell - In the room where the Poseidon Princess is
Aphrodite's Garter - Turns out it was behind her bed
Hephaestus' Ring - After you kill him, it's beside the water pool to your left.
Daedalus' Schematics - In the room with the portal portraits, it's one of the two chests hanging from the ceiling.
Hera's Chalice - This one is the hardest to find out of them all. I'm not telling how you get it though!

Kind of a huge jump for Kevin Sorbo, isn't it?

Finished it. As I said on twitter...that's kinda like an ending.

Now I've only read the first paragraph, but that was enough to stop me from reading the rest of his article. If he is indeed serious, then Anthony Burch should stop giving his opinion about games.

Bwahaha, Destructoid has seriously gone off the deep end haven't they? I gotta dig up that No More Heroes 2 analysis. "THIS GAME REPRESENTS GAMING AS A WHOLE - MY CAT TALKS TO ME!"

I love how he talks about how God of War II wasn't boring even though the plot progression was like taking a shit into molasses, and GoW3 is, because, uh, dunno?

[Seil]

Just having done a play-through of 2, and not being able to play 3 yet due to money constraints, I feel I'm going to shout things at a lot of people in the future:

"You dare defy the God of War?!"

Also, there's a movie or something. I dunno.

[Jagos]

Wow... I just finished the game.

There's a few people I feel sorry for. Pandora, Hephaestus, even Poseidon (after seeing his note). I'd feel sorry for Hera but she got what was coming to her.

Hera's Chalice

Man, it took me 5 hours just to find this one! You did it so quickly, there's gotta be a better way!

Kind of a huge jump for Kevin Sorbo, isn't it?

Touche. This version takes the cake though. He fell into Too Dumb to Live territory when he wanted "a challenge"

[Mirai Gen]

I hate that post-credits OMG KRATOS MIGHT BE ALIVE bullshit. Dude, he got gutted by the Blade of Olympus. He's done, worm food, stop with the To Be Continued!
