    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 1 Part 1: Beginning

    The first Act is titled “Beginning”.

    When you first start this game you will enter into a battle. You will have to use your heavy attack and light attacks to defeat this battle. Remember to follow any on-screen instructions that might help or prompt you along the way.

    First take out the enemies that do not have much threat towards you. You will need to removed three tree branches that are in your way. Then take out any additional enemy soldiers, as you continue on in battle you will come across a large horse/crab. This is a form that Poseidon will appear in.

    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 1 Part 2: Levianthan Boss Battle

    The First Boss Battle: Levianthan I

    The first boss will shoot streams of water, this will be able to push Kratos to the end of the arena and will give him a large chunk of damage.

    You can avoid this by tapping your right stick to move out of the way, however in the meanwhile you will also need to start approaching the boss and try attack under the horses head (in the chest area).

    You attack any area you can manage to reach on this boss creature. At the start of the battle you will only be able to use your standard attacks on its main body. You will acquire some damage in this process.

    You will also need to dodge those enormous claws, you can avoid them by dashing out of the way using your jump button. You will once again need to try and attack the head or the claws on the beast, as before you will or might acquire some damage but it’s worth it!

    You will need to repeat this process when the battle flips again.

    In the final part of the battle you will need to start dodging the water attacks. You will be prompted to finish the fight. Follow the on screen instructions to do so.

    Once you have finished the battle, you will then be transferred to a “quick time” event. This is when you must push the buttons on the screen once they have been shown, if you don’t do this quickly, it will lead you to acquiring some damage. Once you have completed the button pressing the battle will be over.

    Mount Olympus

    When you first enter this level you will need to climb the vines. You can press jump to grab onto the vines, pressing jump again when you get to the gaps. You will need to make your way to the upper ledge and open the chest ahead. This chest will contain some experience orbs.

    Once you reach the impasse, you will need to press against the wall and move along it to the right hand side round the thinner ledge. You will then come across a group of archers and soldiers. You will need to take them out quickly using your right attacks, then make your way over the next wall.

    You will need to destroy the enemies that will be approaching you (make your way over to the chest, it contains health) before you make your way to the grapple area. Press your R1 button to help you have a look around the area.

    Destroy the nearby enemies and make your way to the nearby wall.
    Making your way across you will need to use your wings of Icarus to get across the gaps. There will be a chest that will hold health a magic, then make your way down the path.

    You will then need to enter the door and prepare for battle! You will quickly need to get onto the left analog stick, you can use the Golden Fleece to block your enemy attacks (by pressing L1) as this will be very handy in a crowded area.

    You will need to try and get the Centaur against the wall (while continuously attacking him), once you are near to “finishing” him off a prompter will appear on the screen. There will be other enemies in the room but they will be no hassle at all.

    Make your way over to the book on the pedestal, you will need to pull the lever on the left and then climb up the latter on the right hand side.

    You must then jump onto the moving platform and make your way to the other end of the room. On your way you will be able to fill up on health and magic (chests).

    Make your way to the door, follow the on screen instructions and you will make your way to the new battle area.

    Boss battle : Levianthan II

    In this round Levianthan will pull himself towards you by using both of the claws.
    You need to attack whilst the beasts back is turned, you will need to repeat this a few times before you actually come to the prompter that is located on the screen.

    HOWEVER! The boss is still not over. The beast will then throw his claws to the ground. You must then use your magic attacks on him and quickly take its health, get as many attacks in as possible.

    Once you have completed that prompter, make your way over to the beast and press then press R1 and L1, when you hit these buttons your will tear Levianthan’s chest open. This will expose his weakest point, you must then run back towards the left. Hit R2 when you are prompted to do so.

    You will then need to climb up Gaia and fall down onto the Titan. You will then need to press against the far wall.

    Make your way up the vine to the ceiling, drop yourself down to the left side and make your way over the gap. This will take you over to the Heart of Gaia.

    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 1 Part 3: Gaia’s Heart

    Heart of Gaia

    You will have noticed that a part of the wall has been taken apart on the right side. Move passed it and make your way up the vines, grab Zeus Eagle on the way.

    Drop yourself down and take out the large column, you need to turn it 180 degrees, this will expose the vines to the right. Keep pushing it to the left and you will reveal a crevasse on the left wall.

    You will once again need to climb the vines making your way across the gap into the next area.

    Tip: Remember you can use your enemies as a shield.

    Once you have come to the end of the path, you will once again need to use the prompt and make your way to the top of Gaia’s massive skull where you will finally come face to face with Poseidon.

    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 1 Part 4: Poseidon Boss Battle

    Boss Battle: Poseidon

    This battle has three different parts to it. First you will have to deal with Poseidon’s claws! You should make the claws your main target to attack. You will need to keep whipping at them continuously, whilst dodging out of the way of the electric attacks.

    Once you see the electricity hit the ground it would be a good idea to jump and avoid getting any damage from the electric shock. Just keep your eye open for any sly attacks Poseidon may have. They can all be avoided.

    Once you have attacked the claws enough. Gaia’s head will appear! You will then need to move over to Gaia’s arm (actually you’ll be told to) and you will then need to grapple to the left by pressing your R1.

    In the next section of the battle you must be relatively aggressive, you will need to run up to Poseidon’s torso area and attack quickly. When he lifts himself up you need to roll to the back to avoid the massive attack he is about to unleash.

    This attack is a lot harder to avoid than the previous. Once you throws his weapon to the ground for the third time, you will need to roll back avoid the jab. You must then come back forward (by rolling or sprinting) and avoid the rest of the jabs. You will need to attack Poseidon whilst he is stabbing.

    Once you see the prompter you will need to run to the back of the area and make your way up the vines. Once you reach the top you will then activate a quick time event with CIRCLE.

    As we know from before this boss isn’t over just yet. For the last section you will need to move out of the way of the claws again. You will have to use your light attacks and magic to damage both claws. You will need to be relatively quick otherwise you will gain some damage (jump and rolling out of the way).

    Once you have defeated Poseidon, you will then be taken to a short cutscene where by you will have to once again follow the on screen prompts. You will the jump into Gaia’s finger and a cutscene will appear.

    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 2 Part 1: Into Hell

    The second Act is titled “Hades”.

    River Styx

    We have now arrived in Hades! And we are located at the River Styx.

    You will need to make your way to shore. Do this slowly, once you have arrived on dry land, your blades and magic and other powers will not be at their full strength.

    Realm Of Hades

    Once the cut scene has ended you will find yourself with a new weapon. Called the Blade of Exile! This weapon is almost the same as the previous, however you are still very underpowered. You will need to start collecting Red Experience orbs to charge them up.

    You will then need to swing across the gap, don’t jump onto the far pillar, you need to make your way down to the lower platform where two chests are located (you will be able to see them). Make your way over to the chest and collect those red experience points you need. Remember to keep a look out, we are in Hades.

    Make your way around to the other side of the platform, there will be another chest located here, this time this chest will hold a Gorgon Eye. If you collect all three of the Gorgons eyes your maximum health will slightly increase.

    Make your way up the wall on the front of the column, once you have reached the top you will need to make your way to the mountainous fortress. On your right hand side is the Hyperion Gate. You will be able to access this gate later on in the game.

    Remember when you come across a save point SAVE YOUR GAME! You don’t want to lose it.
    As you start approaching the main gate, you will be rewarded with the Army of Sparta Magic. This magic can be used whenever you have your Blades of Exile equipped. This is a great way to clear out any small enemies.

    You will have the chance to try out your new spell on some small enemies. Once you have cleaned out the small enemies with your Army of Sparta blasts, have a look around the battle area for any orbs and a note that will be on the ground from Peirithous.

    Make your way down the hall and to the right hand side, have a look around for two chests. They will have experience Orbs inside. They are against the back of the room (you will notice them when the perspective of the room changes). Make your way to the door and open it. Prepare yourself for battle.

    The room you have now entered in filled with enemies. The Gorgon’s, this battle is more like a so called mini button smashing game to escape the enemies. To avoid the attacks you will quickly need to rotate the LEFT ANALOG STICK. If you don’t move quickly you will be killed instantly. You can use your Army Of Sparta to wipe out the Grunts. But it is advised a good mix of light and heavy attacks will do the trick.

    Once you have beheaded the monster, all the enemies close by will be paralysed. Take this as an opportunity to take them out instantly.

    Another Gorgon will then appear. You can behead her if you would like to as well. You will then need to make your way through the far door. You will the drop down into the hallways floor, search around and you will find two chests with red experience orbs located inside the chests.

    Make your way down the path, you don’t have to take any notice of the brambles blocking your way.

    God of War 3 Walkthrough Act 2 Part 2: Peirithous Puzzle for Apollo’s Bow

    When you start this mission you will need to head into the large room, talk to Peirithous. Jump above him, landing on the platform. This platform will lower as you jump onto it. You will quickly need to double jump, floating to the ledge along the left wall.

    Push the cauldron off the edge. When you have finished pushing the cauldron, the Cerberus’s breath will light the cauldron.
    You will then need to run back to Peirithous and climb up to the platform again, this time you will need to let it sink to the bottom. This will open a door above the Cerberus at the end of the room.

    You will need to dash quickly to the Cerberus and ride the draft up to the ledge. You will need to be quick as you need to get under the gate before it shuts.

    You can take on this pesky creature by using your normal attacks. If you use two army of Sparta attacks you will be able to bring him down even quicker.

    Following the prompts to the finish, once you have dealt with the Cerberus, you will need to approach the Peirithous. You will need to fry the brambles and the Peirithous. Grab the Bow of Apollo from the ashes. You will still be able to shoot the arrows normally with the bow. You will see that the meter will refill on its own.

    You can also use your chain attacks on the enemies located on the ground. You will then need to aim, charging up as you aim. You will also find a chest located in this area containing a Phoenix Feather If you collect three Phoenix Feathers you will increase your magic meter.

    You will need to make your way back to the hallway that is blocked by vines. You will need to charge a shot with the arrow and set fire to the brambles.

    You can also charge another shot to clear the vines, this will access a chest. This chest holds a Minotaur Horn. If you collect all of these you will increase your yellow Power meter.

    Make your way up the short ledge on the left side.

    There are some flying enemies present in the next room. You can take these enemies on using your alternating grab attacks with the arrows.
    You will need to alternate your attacks until you have cleared the room.
