Well, this is my first FAQ that I write. I tell you how and where I have unlocked some of the harder to get trophies during my run-throughs of these games. Please note that I played in the hardest available difficulty. This means, Spartan-Mode (Hard) for God of War and God-Mode (Hard) for God of War II. I did a second run-through on the easiest difficulty, to earn all the remaining trophies that I forgot to unlock during my first run. You may notice that english is not my native language. I am trying to write as error-free as possible. If you find any extreme errors, please e-mail me. If you have any tips to earn certain trophies on an easier way, please e-mail me, too. How to use this FAQ ------------------- This is a Trophy Guide and NO Walkthrough! Make sure you completed the games once by yourself before reading this FAQ. You may spoil yourself a lot. If you have problems to unlock a specific trophy, then this guide can help you. All God of War and God of War II Trophies added to this FAQ. If you send me an e-mail with alternative strategies or other tips, please insert your name that you want me to use in my FAQ to the mail. ###################################### # # # C) TROPHY GUIDE FOR GOD OF WAR # # # ###################################### ================================== ===GOW-1.0) God of War Trophies=== There are three types of trophies to earn in God of War: 20 bronze, 10 silver and 5 gold trophies. You need to unlock 35 trophies in total to get the last one with the number 36: the platinum trophy! ============================== ===GOW-1.1) Bronze Trophies=== There are 20 bronze trophies to earn in God of War. Most of them only require playing the game, while the others need some more specific things to do. =============================== ===GOW-1.1.1) 1.21 Gigawatts=== Requirement: Acquire Poseidon's Rage Get this magic from the God Poseidon. You need to find his shrine in one of the ships in the first chapter "Aegean Sea" to earn the trophy. ============================ ===GOW-1.1.2) Rocking Out=== ===Requirement: Acquire Medusa's Gaze The Goddess Aphrodite offers you the ability to freeze your enemies with this magic in the chapter "The Gates of Athens". However, you need to defeat Medusa first and rip off her head to earn the magic and the trophy. ============================ ===GOW-1.1.3) Bolt Action=== ===Requirement: Acquire Zeus' Fury Get this magic from the God of Gods Zeus in the chapter "Rooftops of Athens". You find a ramp that shoots in the wrong direction. Kick it down the corridor. Push it on the gear wheel in the room with the sealed door. Open the door nearby. Use the switch. Remove the ramp from the wheel. Use the switch again. Push the ramp back on the wheel. Push the switch for the third time. Now fire the ramp, destroy the door, activate Zeus shrine and get the magic and the trophy. You encounter many monsters inside the room with the switch. This is the best place to unlock the "Hitman" trophies: (GoW 1.1.19) and (GoW 1.2.8). ========================== ===GOW-1.1.4) Sword Man=== ===Requirement: Acquire Blade of Artemis Get this blade from the Goddess Artemis. Turn Pandora's Ring to the second hole in the wall and find her shrine before you enter the entrance to "Challenge of Atlas". ============================ ===GOW-1.1.5) Soul Search=== ===Requirement: Acquire Army of Hades Get this magic from the God of the Underworld Hades. Defeat Pandora's Guardian at the end of the "Challenge of Hades". Move up the stairs and grab the head of the architect's second son. Move down again. Hades will block the only door out and offers you the magic and the trophy. ======================== ===GOW-1.1.6) Matador=== ===Requirement: Win the first Minotaur fight You encounter the three Minotaur's short after the beginning of the chapter "The Gates of Athens". Defeat them all to unlock the trophy. =========================== ===GOW-1.1.7) Scape Goat=== ===Requirement: Win the first Satyr fight You encounter the first Satyr's at the beginning of the chapter "The Cliffs of Madness". Defeat them all and unlock the trophy. ==================================== ===GOW-1.1.8) Roll Over & and Die=== ===Requirement: Win the first Cerberus fight You encounter the first Cerberus at the beginning of the chapter "Challenge of Poseidon". Kill the sweet little Cerberus to regain health during the fight. Defeat all of them to earn this trophy. ========================================= ===GOW-1.1.9) Don't They Ever Shut Up!=== ===Requirement: Defeat the Desert Sirens Search and destroy the three Sirens in the chapter "Desert of Lost Souls" first and make your way through the dungeon. All three Sirens appear again and the horn, to call for Cronos, disappears. Now kill all three Sirens again to unlock this trophy. =================================== ===GOW-1.1.10) Beat a Dead Horse=== ===Requirement: Complete the Centaur sacrifice to Hades To continue the "Challenge of Hades" in "Rings of Pandora", you need to defeat at least six Centaurs. Kill three in each of the magic rings during the battle, to unlock this trophy. =========================== ===GOW-1.1.11) Kickboxer=== ===Requirement: Complete the Spike Room Box Puzzle You need to survive the Spiked Room Box Puzzle before you can reach one of the two necklaces in the chapter "The Cliffs of Madness. Enter the room and use the switch to close the gate. Pull the block out of its place. Kick it three times as fast as possible. Jump on it and jump on the edge above Kratos head. Get the necklace to unlock the trophy. ================================== ===GOW-1.1.12) Rockin' the Boat=== ===Requirement: Complete the Sex Mini-Game You start in your cap with two beautiful naked women. Kratos starts a quick chat with them by pushing the R2-Button. However, to complete the Sex Mini-Game, you need to jump on the bed and to push the Circle-Button. Follow the buttons that appear on the screen, followed by directions with the left analog-stick. You get a bunch of red orbs and you unlock the trophy. ========================================= ===GOW-1.1.13) Don't Leave Her Hanging=== ===Requirement: Rescue the Oracle with 10 seconds to spare This is an easy one. Just finish the race to rescue the Oracle with 10 seconds left on the timer. Be in time to unlock the trophy. ====================================== ===GOW-1.1.14) Get the Ball Rolling=== ===Requirement: Complete the Challenge of Atlas Enter the room with the Atlas statue in "The Challenge of Atlas". It is the statue with the big ball on it's shoulders. Climb up to the second floor and pull the switch. The statue throws the stone and crashes the door. This unlocks the trophy. =============================== ===GOW-1.1.15) Totally Baked=== ===Requirement: Complete the Human sacrifice Push the person inside the cage to the room at the far end of a corridor, activate the switch to unlock the trophy. ======================== ===GOW-1.1.16) Splash=== ===Requirement: Kiss the Nyad There are 4 Nyads, that can be found during the "Test of Poseidon" in "Pandora's Temple". You need to kiss only one Nyad to get this trophy. Push the R2-Button to read Kratos thoughts. You need to push the Circle-Button near a Nyad to kiss her. Maybe the Nyad rewards you with a Phoenix Feather or a Gorgon Eye, but the trophy drops for sure. =================================== ===GOW-1.1.17) Get Me a Beer Kid=== ===Requirement: Free yourself from the depths of Hades Climb up the rope at the end of the chapter "The Path of Hades" to unlock this trophy. ============================================= ===GOW-1.1.18) Zero Health = Bronze Trophy=== ===Requirement: You may ask yourself, if this trophy really needs a description. Oh, it does for sure, because who could ever have the idea to open a health-giving chest with a full health-meter? You gain no health, but a trophy for sure! ======================== ===GOW-1.1.19) Hitman=== ===Requirement: Get a 100 Hits Combo Make sure that your magic "Poseidon's Rage" is at least on Level 2 and your mana-meter is full. I suggest you to to play in Hard Mode, because the monsters have more hit points and do not die that fast. Check the alternative strategies to know the places to unlock this trophy on lower difficulties. My Strategy for Hard Mode: -------------------------- There is one place to get the trophy very fast. It is the little room with the switch to rotate the gear wheel, short before you destroy the door that leads to the magic of Zeus Fury. Open the center door on the left wall, near the gear wheel in the ground. Many monsters spawn around the switch. Wait until they are surrounding Kratos. Now cast Poseidon's Rage and button-smash the Circle-Button. I hit the monsters with a combo of 102. Cast it once more to unlock the "Hitman 2" trophy, too. I earned both trophies with a maximum combo of 206. Sometimes, your combo-counter restarts from zero if you wait to long for the second wave of monsters to surround Kratos. If this happens, open the pause- menu with the SELECT-Button, use "Restart from the last Checkpoint" and try it again. Just hit the monsters between the two magic attacks with normal attacks, to avoid the combo-counter to reset itself. Alternative Strategies: ----------------------- Kevin K. wrote: In the Challenge of Poseidon, after you get Poseidon's Trident and swim through the tunnel where you learn to dash, you come up in the room full of mini- Cerberus dogs -- there are enough of them and the waves spawn fast enough that I was able to get over a 300 hit combo using Poseidon's Rage on easy difficulty. Assad A. wrote: Well, I played it on Spartan (Normal) and managed to get both trophies in the Challenge of Atlas. After you lower the rock and climb down and all the way to Hades' shield after using the rope... I used Poseidon's Rage, which was at level 1 after gathering the enemies around me, and I got 350 hits... and if you are wondering, yeah I tried again and got over 170 and on the second 260... In other words, you can do it easily... Mohammad A. wrote: There is very easy way to get this trophy with 200+ combo hits. The place is in the Temple of Panadora, before getting the blue shield. There is a wall with spikes going to kill you, while you are attacked by many monsters. Use Poseidons Rage and tab rapidly the Circle-Button. Send me an e-mail if you have discover another place to earn this trophy. I really want to know! ==================================== GOW-1.1.20) Getting My Ass Kicked=== ===Requirement: Die enough times to get offered Easy Mode You need to play the game at least on Normal Mode or higher. Just die five times inside the same battle to get the offer. You do not need to accept it, but you unlock the trophy for sure. ============================== ===GOW-1.2) Silver Trophies=== There are 10 silver trophies to earn in God of War. You have various tasks to accomplish to earn these trophies. Some of them only require defeating boss- monsters. Others want you to collect a specific amount of various things or story-based items. ========================================== ===GOW-1.2.1) Kratos' Marble Collection=== ===Requirement: Collect all the Gorgon Eyes You need to find 18 Gorgon Eyes to earn this trophy. You can find the Gorgon Eyes in specific chests during the game. You can also kiss two of the four Nyad's to get one. ====================================== ===GOW-1.2.2) Stick it in Your Cap!=== ===Requirement: Collect all the Phoenix Feathers You need to find 18 Phoenix Feathers to earn this trophy. You can find the Phoenix Feathers in specific chests during the game. You can also kiss two of the four Nyad's to get one. ================================== ===GOW-1.2.3) It's the HUGE One=== ===Requirement: Retrieve the Captain's Key You need to win the Hydra boss fight at the end of the first chapter "Aegean Sea". After the Hydras death, walk into its open mouth and find the captain inside. Take his key to unlock the trophy. =========================================== ===GOW-1.2.4) Take the Bull by the Horns=== ===Requirement: Defeat Pandora's Guardian Win the boss battle against the heavy guardian at the end of the "Challenge of Hades" to unlock this trophy. =========================== ===GOW-1.2.5) God Killer=== ===Requirement: Kill Ares Defeat and kill the God of War Ares at the end of the game to unlock this trophy. ============================ ===GOW-1.2.6) Head Hunter=== ===Requirement: Obtain the head of the Architect's wife You find the remains of the architect's wife inside the chapter "The Architect's Tomb". Get it to unlock the trophy. ======================================== ===GOW-1.2.7) The Power to Kill a God=== ===Requirement: Retrieve Pandora's Box All you need to do is to reach the end of the chapter "The Architect's Tomb". There you find the Box and you get the trophy as reward. ========================= ===GOW-1.2.8) Hitman 2=== ===Requirement: Get a 200 Hits Combo Read the description for the trophy "Hitman". ==================================== ===GOW-1.2.9) Legend of the Twins=== ===Requirement: Watch the 'Birth of the Beast' Treasure Complete the game once on any difficulty to unlock this treasure. Select the Treasure option on the main-screen and move down to "Birth of the Beast". Play the video by pushing the X-Button to unlock this trophy. ============================ ===GOW-1.2.10) Seeing Red=== ===Requirement: Max out all Weapons and Magic It is near impossible to max out all weapons and magic on Normal-Mode or higher, because you get less red orbs by defeating enemies. Play the game at least on Easy Mode and try to follow these simple rules: - Kill your opponents very brutal to get more red orbs - Try to find every chest that includes red orbs during the game - Use the experience gift of the Gods at the secret room in Rings of Pandora - Chests and Monsters in Hades give you many red orbs - Fail the Mini-Game above Ares head after the second sequence to get many red orbs (repeat this as much as you want) - Max out your weapons in the throne room at the end of the game ============================ ===GOW-1.3) Gold Trophies=== There are 5 gold trophies in God of War. They all require very special tasks to accomplish. ==================================== ===GOW-1.3.1) Prepare to be a God=== ===Requirement: Beat the Game on any Difficulty All you have to do is to complete the game on a difficulty of your choice and the trophy is yours. =================================== ===GOW-1.3.2) You Got the Touch!=== ===Requirement: Climb the Spiked Column in Hades without taking damage Johnis80 wrote and told me that he got the trophy by getting hit and trying again without to restart from the last check point. Mohammad A. wrote: "I did not know that there was a trophy by climing. I felt down many times but when I reached the top, the trophy was unlocked. There is no need to restart from last check point." A comment on my blog from Jesse confirms it again: source: http://acantophis3rd.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/gow-trophies/ "The only way to get up the Spiked Column is to not get hit so you get that trophy if you make it up. No need to reset." Thanks to their comments and e-mails, we know now that you dont need to reset from the last check point or to load your game again after you got hit. Just make it up to the top and the trophy is yours! Here are some tips on how to solve this torture: - Don't hesitate - Wait for the blades to move away - Use the walls to your left and right to take a break ================================================= ===GOW-1.3.3) I'll Take the Physical Challenge=== ===Requirement: Complete the Challenge of the Gods This is the hardest trophy to earn in God of War. It needs a lot of time to figure out how to solve each of the 10 challenges. I needed 4 hours for all stages. Take your time for this trophy. ======================================== ===GOW-1.3.4) Speed of Jason McDonald=== ===Requirement: Beat the game in under 5 hours on any Difficulty The best difficulty to accomplish this task is the Easy Mode and you need to follow these simple rules: - Don't kill every enemy on your way - Only kill all enemies if you are forced to (to lift a magical barrier) - It helps a lot if you know how to solve every puzzle on your way - The timer does not run while you are in the save-, upgrade- and pause-screens - The timer does not run while pre-rendered and animated cut scenes are running =============================== ===GOW-1.3.5) Key to Success=== ===Requirement: Collect all of the Muse Keys There are four possible chests, hidden during the Challenges in "Pandora's Temple", that include a Muse Key, but you can only pick up two. I found my Muse Keys at the following locations: - You can find one Key inside a chest behind the Atlas statue in the "Challenge of Atlas". - Do you remember the rotating knifes at the roof of the "Challenge of Hades"? At the end, there is a rope to your left and a tiny walkway to your right side. Take the right walkway and find a chest with a key on its end. ============================== ===GOW-1.4) Platinum Trophy=== There is 1 platinum trophy to unlock in God of War. =============================== ===GOW-1.4.1) Trophy of Zeus=== ===Requirement: Unlock all God of War Trophies Unlock the 20 bronze, the 10 silver and the 5 gold trophies to earn it. Congratulations! ######################################### # # # D) TROPHY GUIDE FOR GOD OF WAR II # # # ######################################### ======================================= ===GOW-2.0) God of War II Trophies=== There are three types of trophies to earn in God of War II: 18 bronze, 11 silver and 5 gold trophies. You need to unlock 34 trophies in total to get the last one with the number 35: the platinum trophy! ================================ ===GOW-2.1) Bronze Trophies=== There are 18 bronze trophies to unlock in God of War II. Almost every trophy can be unlocked by just playing through the game. ============================== ===GOW-2.1.1) Breaking Wind=== ===Requirement: Acquire Typhon's Bane It is the replacement for Zeus Fury from the first game. Get this awesome bow during the chapter "The Lair of the Titan". Make your way to the platform before Typhon's head. Take care of his cold blows and do not fall down. Push the R1-Button while on the platform. Kratos jumps at Typhon's head and cuts the bow and this trophy out of his eye. ========================================== ===GOW-2.1.2) Big, Tuff, Buff and Rough=== ===Requirement: Acquire Rage of the Titans It is the replacement for the Rage of the Gods from the first game. Find Prometheus hanging outside of "The Lair of the Titan" and throw him down by attacking his body. Make your way to the cave, get Typhon's and return to Prometheus. Shoot at him with the bow and see him falling down into the eternal fire. You earn the Rage of the Titans and this trophy. =========================== ===GOW-2.1.3) Blue Balls=== ===Requirement: Acquire Cronos' Rage It is the replacement magic for Poseidon's Rage from the first game. Defeat Theseus on "The Island of Creation" and grab his key. Return to the first platform and open the sealed door with the key. Use the key once more inside the room and earn Cronos' Rage and the trophy as a reward. ======================= ===GOW-2.1.4) Shiner=== ===Requirement: Acquire the Golden Fleece You find a dying soldier at "The Bog of the Forgotten" near the room with the Cerberus eating his friend. Take him to the wheel and drop him to destroy it. Now you can enter the room with the Cerberus. The creature is chewing the remains of the soldiers's dead friend that has the Golden Fleece. Defeat the Cerberus and take the Fleece and this trophy. ================================= ===GOW-2.1.5) Rock their World=== ===Requirement: Acquire the Head of Euryale It is the replacement for Medusa's Gaze from the first game. Survive "The Temple of Euryale" and face her in battle. Finish her and cut her head off to get it and the trophy. ================================ ===GOW-2.1.6) Learning to Fly=== ===Requirement: Acquire the Icarus Wings Kratos meets this strange man with wings called Icarus, after reaching "The Great Chasm". Both start to fight and fall into the great hole. One body hits the ground and the other slides down with Icarus Wings and this trophy. It is Kratos! ============================= ===GOW-2.1.7) Shaky Ground=== ===Requirement: Acquire Atlas Quake "Atlas" - the Titan that holds the world on his shoulders tries to crush Krato's. Win the mini-game and acquire the Titan's gift and this trophy. ====================================== ===GOW-2.1.8) Death from Above 2009=== ===Requirement: Defeat the Dark Rider for the first time Beat the Dark Rider near the end of your "Flight to the Island of Creation" to unlock this trophy. ============================= ===GOW-2.1.9) Resurrection=== ===Requirement: Climb from the pit of Hades Kratos dies after the boss-fight inside the Colossus and the Titan Gaia resurrects his dead body. However, you need to escape from the pit of Hades by yourself. Destroy the arms that want to grab you and climb all the way up. Kratos lives again and earns this trophy. =========================== ===GOW-2.1.10) Rock Hard=== ===Requirement: Defeat the Titan Minotaur inside Atlas The big and mighty stone-monsters are Titan Minotaur's. You need to battle one inside Atlas. Take care of the lava, defeat the Minotaur and earn this trophy. ========================================== ===GOW-2.1.11) Pick'n on the Little Guy=== ===Requirement: Win the battle outside of the Palace of the Fates Fly on the back of the Phoenix to the Palace of the Fates and push the switch to lower the platform. Defeat all Cyclops and Beastmaster's to unlock this trophy. ============================================== ===GOW-2.1.12) Watcha Got on the Hot Plate?=== ===Requirement: Solve the riddle of the Fire Phoenix Statue Find a way to the Urn with the remains of the Phoenix and use the switch nearby to throw it into the lava. Awake the Phoenix and unlock this trophy. ============================== ===GOW-2.1.13) Whip it Good=== ===Requirement: Whip the Steeds of Time You just need to solve the mini-game to wake up the four big horses. If you made it and they move, then you get this trophy. ====================================== ===GOW-2.1.14) Lift with Your Knees=== ===Requirement: Topple the Temple in the Bog of the Forgotten Do you remember the loosely temple in "The Bog of the Forgotten"? Push the two stones to the far edge of the temple and topple the temple into the swamp. Now you can continue your way and to unlock this trophy. ========================= ===GOW-2.1.15) Swinger=== ===Requirement: Cross the collapsing Grapple Bridge I love this part: The collapsing Grapple Bridge! Swing over to the other side and earn this trophy! Do not give up if you can't survive this tension part after many first attempts. ======================== ===GOW-2.1.16) Stoner=== ===Requirement: Stone and Shatter 30 Enemies Use the "Head of Euryale" to stone and shatter 30 enemies during the same run through the game. ============================= ===GOW-2.1.17) Super Sized=== ===Requirement: Get a 500 Hits Combo This trophy is laughable compared to the "Hitman" and "Hitman 2" trophies from the previous game. Just start a new game on the hardest difficulty and use the first fighting scene. Defeat the first wave of soldiers and wait for the second to come. Now abuse Poseidon's Rage and fill the breaks, until enough new enemies surround you, with Light Attacks (Square-Button). I made a 634 HIT combo during this scene. You can earn this trophy almost everywhere in the game. Alternative Strategies: --------------------- Erdvilla wrote: I found really easy (almost unintended) way to make it in Normal. Right after you get "Chrono's rage" in "The steeds of time" you have unlimited magic during the fight. Tap the L2-Button all the time and the lightning will make all the work since it chains all enemies in the small room and they keep coming from the ground. I raised a 856 HIT combo just by pressing L2. Andrea Scattolin (PSN: woodman_76) wrote: A good spot to obtain it is in the hand of Atlas, just after obtaining Atlas Quake. There are a lot of soldier coming, and I used a level 2 Cronos Rage. Please send me an e-mail and tell me your favorite place to break the 500 Hits Combo and I add it to this FAQ. ===================================== ===GOW-2.1.18) Hitting Your Stride=== ===Requirement: Just power up any item or magic to unlock this trophy. ============================== ===GOW-2.2) Silver Trophies=== There are 11 silver trophies to unlock in God of War II. Many of them require playing the game. Others have more challenging tasks to solve. ===================================== ===GOW-2.2.1) Eye Can't Believe it=== ===Requirement: Collect all the Gorgon Eyes You need to find 18 Gorgon Eyes to earn this trophy. You can find the Gorgon Eyes in specific chests during the game. ================================== ===GOW-2.2.2) Go Make a Pillow!=== ===Requirement: Collect all the Phoenix Feathers You need to find 18 Phoenix Feathers to earn this trophy. You can find the Phoenix Feathers in specific chests during the game. ========================= ===GOW-2.2.3) Eye Sore=== ===Requirement: Collect 20 Cyclops Eyes Kill 20 Cyclops and rip out their eyes. It may be possible to get all 20 eyes during the same game, but it is difficult (read ynot4tony's note below). If you could not collect all 20 eyes during the same run, start a new game and continue. Please note, collecting the remaining eyes in a Bonus Play on a different difficulty does not work! Start a Bonus Play at the same difficulty to complete your collection. Eye Score in Titan Challenge Stage 1: ------------------------------------- Another way to continue to complete your collection of Cyclops Eyes is to play the first stage of the Challenge of the Titans, right after you finished the main-game. Enter the Challenge of the Titans directly from the Treasure menu and begin with this stage. Play it until you have all 20 eyes and the trophy will be unlocked, but take care of a bug: I found out that it's not possible to keep the eye after you succeeded the challenge and just selected to Restart the current Challenge. Avoid this by just selecting to Return to the Challenge main-menu and to start the challenge from there again. ynot4tony wrote: ---------------- Regarding the "Eye Sore" trophy, you claimed, "It is not possible to get all 20 eyes during the same game." I just did. Granted, I was playing on Easy difficulty, but I'm not sure that makes a difference. Outside the Palace of the Fates (shortly after obtaining the Atlas Quake ability), there is a battle where creatures will blow a horn and summon a cyclops one after another. The idea is to kill off the creatures before they summon too many. I decided to let them summon several cyclopses and would simply pull the rider off the cyclops, damage it, and hope for the circle prompt to initiate the mini-game (otherwise I'd yank the rider off after he climbed back on and beat the cyclops down some more). I kept defeating cyclopses while trying to keep the summoners alive long enough to get my twenty eyes. I'm guessing this might be harder to do on a higher difficulty, but isn't that hard on Easy. Each cyclops gives you back some health, so it's easy to stay alive long enough to complete your collection. On a harder difficulty, it's probably a good strategy to kill off the summoners as soon as possible, but I don't see why a skilled player couldn't do what I did on a harder level. A final note: ------------- I remember that I did it the same way in my first run of the game back in 2006 but I only could collect 14 eyes. I tried it again in the remastered version on the hardest difficulty and the beastmasters did not call for more cyclops after I have defeated the others. So I was thinking that it is impossible to collect all 20 in the same run. I suggest you, my dear reader, to try out ynot4tony's way and to call yourself a true god of war.
