God Of War II GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING - Demo Walkthrough Authored by VampireHorde ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= What it do nephews? I'm back with my first walkthrough for 2007! If you are reading this, it's because you got the God Of War II demo and want some hot tips right? OF COURSE! ENOUGH TALK, FIGHT!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's start with the basics. The Blades Of Chaos are now known as the Athena Blades and are MAXED out for the demo. They still have the same functions from the previous game but now have a few extra tricks up its sleeve. Kratos also retains the Poseidon Magic attack. Kratos is given MAX Health and MAX Magic in the demo so feel free to go crazy! The Athena Blades have three new moves: --THE HURRICANE: Press L1 + Square --THE EARTHQUAKE: Press L1 + Triangle --THE FURY: Press L1 + Circle The attacks above DO NOT drain magic and cover a large area in terms of damage (especially the Hurricane). Abuse these moves to rack up the combos and the body count. My max number of combos was 154 hits, what's yours? Anyway, that's all you really need to know. ON TO THE WALKTHROUGH! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like Kratos isn't happy being a god. Sigh, here we go again! +++ AREA: ATHENS +++ The level begins inside a chamber room with multiple enemies. Begin slashing away using hard combos. All the enemies here are too simple so slash away until a short cutaway occurs. With the room cleared, go up to the door and press the R1 Button and then rapidly tap the Circle Button to open the door. Head outside and continue the onslaught of fast combos. Once the walkway near the door is clear, head for the other end but WATCH OUT! The Colossus will smash his fist through the walls leaving an open gap. Jump past the large hand and into the gap. Open up the Green Chest and then climb up the ladder to the next area. --BOSS BATTLE PART 1: THE COLOSSUS Jump down to the lower area and start slashing at the enemies. The Colossus is prone to using slam and swiping attacks. Use evasive rolls when the Colossus starts to rear its arms (that means it's gonna pound the floor). Attack the boss's arms with hard combos until it falls back in pain. Repeat the tactic two more times and the Colossus will become stunned. From there, a cutaway will show the catapult machine. Jump up to the catapult machine and toss a rock at the boss (press the R1 Button at the base). When the boss is out, press the R1 Button to mount onto the catapult and then rapidly tap the Circle Button to fling yourself sky-high onto the Colossus. From there, a series of buttons will show onscreen. Press the button that is shown onscreen to deal massive damage to the boss. If successful, Kratos will remove the boss's right eye and then get thrown halfway across the city to another area. If you pressed the wrong button, the boss will grab Kratos and slam him back to the ground. If that happens, I suggest memorizing the button layout! +++ AREA: WATERWAYS AND ROOFTOPS +++ Swim through the large pipe and use a Dash Charge on the gate and then swim up to an open area. Swim towards the ledge on the right side and then jump up and climb the ladder. Access the lever across from the ladder and press and hold the R1 Button to activate your first grip holder. Jump up to the grip holder and press and hold R1 to swing. Swing and jump to the next ledge and then continue forward. Jump up to the higher ledge and open the door and head outside. Destroy the small number of soldiers and continue upwards to the ladder. Climb it up and head forward but WATCH OUT! The Colossus will smash its foot through the wall in an attempt to squish you down. Rapidly tap the Circle Button to throw it back. Continue towards the Blue Chest (open it if you want) and then climb up the wall to the rooftops. Its boss battle time again! --BOSS BATTLE PART 2: THE COLOSSUS Jump down the balcony to face off against the Colossus again. The strategy is still the same: evade and counter. The boss has some unblockable and unavoidable attacks (like its goddamn forearm attack) but all you have to do is stay evasive and continue to pound hard combos on its arms. You'll notice that on the right side of the balcony, there is a grip holder. You can jump and swing to the opposite balcony and continue your assault from there. You can alternate from balcony to balcony to avoid its pound attacks and then attack it while it turns around. When enough damage is dealt (when it reels in pain three times), the Colossus will keel over on the other balcony and a Circle Button will appear above its arm. Quickly make your way to the arm and then press the button to begin the kill sequence. You then have to press the buttons that appear onscreen to finish the first half of this battle. When successful, Kratos will land back onto the balcony. You then have to damage the boss until it keels over again. Repeat the kill sequence and then the boss will grab Kratos and try to squish him. Rapidly press both the L1 and R1 button to set Kratos free. +++ AREA: THE PALACE +++ Open the Blue chest and jump up to the upper area and open the door. Go around the corner and you'll see some archers on the other side of the gate. Ignore the archers and turn right and then turn right again into another hall. Eliminate the enemies that appear here. First, roll towards the archers on the other end of the hall and kill them first and then get rid of the other soldiers until the room has been cleared. Now its time for your first puzzle! --DOUBLE STEP PUZZLE SOLUTION You'll notice two buttons (one on the other side of the gate). When Kratos steps on the button in front of him, the gate will open and then close if he steps off. Look to the left side of the wall where the button is located to find a statue pedestal. Grab the pedestal and then drag it to the button to open the gate. Do a light charge kick to kick the pedestal to the adjacent button. Roll under the gate and then drag the pedestal on the button to open the adjacent door. Make your way into the hall (ignore the hallway on the right side) to encounter the last batch of soldiers. Before you eliminate them, roll towards the archers at the end of the hall and get rid of them. Now finish off the soldiers and then head for the elevator (open the Red Chest if you want). Activate the lever to head to the top. When the elevator stops, the Colossus will peek through the open window. Perform a hard combo on it to end the demo. DEMO COMPLETE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The only way to get the demo is to pre-order the game at EBGames or at Gamestop. Official Playstation Magazine will probably have it on their upcoming issue but it may end up on their demo disc AFTER the release of the game. So did you enjoy the demo? It's more intense than the first God Of War demo, I can say that much!
