Final Fantasy XIII - God of War III Guide

God of War III brings The Ghost of Sparta's story a bloody conclusion. In his quest for retribution, Kratos dismembers, gores and eviscerates classical monsters, titans and even the gods of Mount Olympus in this final adventure. From the depths of Hades to the peak of Olympus, the gods' domain, rivers of blood flow in the wake of the very angry Greek. With Ares and Athena destroyed, there's only one deity standing between Kratos and the end of his long journey. Say it with us:

In this special God of War III postmortem, GameSpot AU speaks to lead animator Bruno Velazquez and senior designer Jonathan Hawkins about God of War III's reception, what Kratos could have been, and the controversial ending.

General Guide:

Any Godly Possessions you've acquired can be activated in future playthroughs. Press > and scroll through them, activating whichever ones you want. Remember that enabling any of them will disable trophies, so wait until you've earned the trophies first, and then enable them.

Always remember to block, especially when playing on Titan or higher difficulty. The higher difficulty you choose, the easier it is to die. Considering that many enemies attack you in groups, you'll want to get used to blocking early on. Once you get the timing right, follow-up a successful parry with a counter ().

The Head of Helios isn't just for blinding enemies. It's also used for discovering secret passages containing red orb chests and Gorgon Eyes, Phoenix Feathers, and Minotaur Horns. If there is a secret area nearby and you have the Head equipped, the controller will vibrate. The stronger the vibration, the closer you are.
See those areas that look like mist with sparkles in them? Shine the Head of Helios at them to reveal hidden chests.

Using your standard blades to build up your combo meter works well, but switching between the different weapon-types during battle works better. Press + to switch to the next weapon, or rapidly press + to cycle through and create a combo chain on its own. Experiment early and you'll notice your combo meter steadily climbing higher and higher.
