Releasing the Floodgates

Kill Poseidon

This is a story related trophy. There are many parts to this boss fight.

Leviathan
Part 1:
This part will start off with one of Posedion's Leviathans piercing through Gaia's arms to attack you. What you have to do to progress is to attack its chest . But wait there is more! You didn't actually think it would be that easy... right? The Leviathan will not just let you attack its chest the easy way, it will also defend it self. It will try to blast you with a high pressured water attack. To dodge this, just roll out of the path of the water blast. Damage the chest enough and you will then enter part two of the boss fight.

Part 2:
Just to make things harder on you, the Leviathan causes Gaia to move her arm upside down in pain. This makes it harder for the player because the controls have momentarily been modified. Moving around is more confusing. This part starts off when you are hanging and movement is now confusing for the player. In this part of the fight you want to attack its chest again. The Leviathan will now use its pincers to attack you. To dodge the pincers, look at which direction the Leviathan is charging the pincer. For example, if the Leviathan raises its left pincer, then you will get attacked from the left and that is your cue to move to the right. Kepp repeating this and attacking the Leviathan until you enter part three of the boss fight.

Part 3:
In part three of the boss fight, you will be in a climbing position and will have to fight the Leviathan. This is where it gets tricky, especially if you are playing on the titan difficulty. The Leviathan will use its pincers and its water pressured blast to attack you. Dodge the pincers as you did in part two and dodge the water blast as you did in part one. Damage it enough and you will enter part four of the boss fight.

Part 4:
Ok this is exactly like part one in the Poseidon boss fight, except now the Leviathan will use its pincers to attack you. Keep attacking it until it dies. Conitnue on until you get back on Gaia's head. This will start the true boss fight.

Poseidon
Part 5:
Ok what you want to do here is to attack his pincers. Poseidon will also try to electrocute you. To dodge this watch the ground for where it starts to get electricity. Roll to the oppsosite side of the electricity. Poseidon's other attack is that he will send a Leviathan at you. To dodge this, just roll to the opposite side of it. Continue to repeat this dodging process and attack his pincers until the next part begins.

Part 6:
Ok this part you will have to attack Poseidon's chest. This will get tricky especially 'cause sometimes you will not be able to dodge his attacks. Best thing to do here is to use your magic and your strong attacks. Keep doing this until a button prompt shows up. Climb Gaia's thumb to enter the prompt.

Part 7:
This is like part 5 but after you remove all of the pincers, you will have to grapple across the Leviathans to reach Poseidon and enter the awsome button prompts.

If you are still having troubles with the boss fight, then refer to the video:

Burnt to a Crisp

Acquire the Bow of Apollo

This is a story related trophy.
You will come across a guy named Peirithous in the underworld. He is surrounded by bramble. Your goal is to set him "free" by burning the bramble. What you have to do now is jump on the ledge that is right on top of him. After you have down that, you will have to jump on the hanging chandelier. You will notice an opening in the wall that you can't reach with just two jumps. So you have to glide to the opening and move up on top of the opening to grab the large torch that is there. Kick the torch off the opening and onto the ground. Now you have to drag the torch all the way to the Fire Cerberus. Drag it close enough to the Cerberus and it will set the torch on fire. Now move the torch near the gate on top of the Cerberus cage and make your way back to the chandelier. Once on the chandlier, the gate will open on top of the Cerberus cage. Qucikly make your way to the torch and use it to glide up to the switch. Pulling the switch will release the cerberus. Now you have to damage the cerberus enough that the prompt shows. Once it does ride the cerberus to Peirithous and set th bramble on fire. Once doing so, you will aquire the Bow of Apollo.

Mr. Hand (missable)

Discover the secret 'Hades Arm' room

This trophy can be missed but it is really hard for it to be missed. You will get a chance to get this trophy when you come to a part where you have to get the pot of bramble to the bottom floor, so you can burn it to create a steam lift. Once you throw the pot into the bottom floor, it will create a steam rift. Glide up using the rift and Kratos will grapple onto the platform. Get on the platform and you will notice a huge pair of doors. Open it and go inside the room. Shortly after you will unlock the trophies.

Getting to the Hades Arm room is easily explained in a video:

Shine Lord

Kill Helios

This is a story related trophy.
The Helios boss fight starts off when Helios gets "shot out of the sky." When you get near Helios, Olympus Sentry with Onyx sheilds will form a Spartan Defense position around Helios. Go upto the Olympus Sentry and attack them. No matter what type of attack you will do on the shields, it won't get the Olympus Sentry to move so don't bother using your magic. After a few seconds, a cyclops will enter the battlefeild. Put two and two together and you will see a connection. What you want to do is damage the cyclops enough that a button prompt appears. Engage the button prompt and you will start riding the cyclops. Attack the olympus sentry with the Cyclops. Once all the Olympus Sentry are dead and so is the cyclops you want to engage Helios in the button prompt. After the button prompt is over, Helios will be dead and you will get the trophy.

Collectibles in the area!
But wait! once you acquire the head, look around the area for a part of the area that is glowing. Shine the helios head on it and you will find a collectible chest. There is also a godly possesion next to Helios's Chariot.

Shoe Delivery

Kill Hermes and acquire his Boots

This is a story related trophy.
This will start off as a cops and crooks chase. Keep chasing Hermes until you get upto the part where Kratos hurtles himself from the catepult. You will crash into a large statue in which Hermes was standing on. You will enter a cut-scene. After the cut-scene, you will have a fight with Hermes. Hermes will keep running around and slap you every now and then. To get a definite hit on Hermes, I suggest you do the + combo attack. You will know you are getting close to the end of the fight when you see that Hermes is running slower and slower. After Hermes is damaged enough, you will enter a button prompt. Do the prompt correctly and you will kill Hermes in a brutal way and get your trophy.

Kill the Poseidon Princess

This is a story related trophy.
Once you get to the Poseidon Princess through the elevator puzzle, you will have to escort her back to the crank that you have to pull to progress through the story. Once you have escorted her back to the crank, pull the crank and Kratos will then use her as a wedge for the crank which will end up killing her and the gate will not shut on you.

Ladies Man (missable)

Sever Gaia’s hand

This is a story related trophy.
After killing Hades and coming through the portal from the Underworld, you will end up in the City of Olympus. After walking a bit you will meet up with Gaia, who is now asking you to aid her so she doesn't fall off the mountain. What you want to do is attack the exposed roots that you see in Gaia's arm. Damage the roots enough, and a button prompt should appear. Go through with the prompt and you will get this trophy.

This is a story related trophy.
After Hephaestus lets you go through the doors that were previously locked, you will come across the Gates of Tisiphone. You should start off by disposing of any enemies in the area. After all the enemies are dead, you want to go to both the left and right sides and activate their chains. This will release platforms on the Gates for you to climb on and activate the switch at the very top. To get to the higher platforms, you have to use the Harpies to fly you there. Activate the switch at the very top and the Gates will open and you will get this trophy.

Rescue Me

Save Pandora

This is a story related trophy. You will have to save Pandora from the Labyrinth. Look at aMAZEd for what you have to do as this is where you get the aMAZEd trophy as well.

Three Wise Men

Solve the Three Judges

This is a story related trophy.
To start this off, Kratos will fly off of the Labyrinth and back to the Three Judges area. As soon as you land you will be facing a large Cerberus, a few hounds and Satyrs. This is very hard on titan mode if you don't know what you are doing. So look at the video provided for help. Once you have defeated all the monsters, go and stand on the stone slab and go through the portal. Once you go through the portal, equip your Nemean Cestus and smash the blue crystals that support the heads of the judges. Once you do that, a cutscene will occur and you will get this trophy.

Hit Man (missable)

Perform a 1000-hit combo

An easy place to do this is in the City of Olympus. When you are fighting the Olympus Sentry with the Bronze armor on, equip you Hades Claws and make sure that they are level 1. If they are, then keep clicking + on the Olympus Sentry. This will build up your combo but at the same time not kill the Olympus Sentry.

Another place to get this is after you open the Gates of Tisiphone. Refer to the video:

Rip One!

Rip apart 1 Olympus Sentry

This probably the first troph you will get. What you want to do is when you are on Gaia's arm at the beginning of the game, you want press and then on the Olympus Sentry.

Nice Tan (missable)

Blind 100 enemies with the Head of Helios

To blind enemies you have to use the Helios Head. What you want to do is press + to blind enemies. Hold the buttons longer to blind more enemies within the area. This is also a good way to distance yourself from enemies that are crowding you.

Obedience School (missable)

Deliver 50 kicks to Hounds

This is a missable trophy. To kick hounds just go upto thm and press button on them. If you are having a hard time to do this I suggest you do this in Posiedon's Chamber. This is right before you encounter the Poseidon Princess. What you want to do is keep kicking the dogs but away from the portal that makes them go onto the elevator. If a hound dies, don't worry because they respawn. Still having troubles or not sure where exactly to do this? Don't worry a video is provided for yor convinence:

It’s getting hot in here...

Burn 100 enemies with the Bow of Apollo

Ok this is an easy trophy. To do this when you have the Bow of Apollo equipped, instead of just tapping the button, you will want to hold it until the bow starts glowing. Once it starts glowing, release the button. This will set you enemies on fire. Even though the trophy says to do this with the Bow of Apollo, when you set enemies on fire with the fire Cerberus, the enemies you set on fire with it still count towards the trophy.

Souled Out (missable)

Summon every Soul with the Claws of Hades

Ok, to get this trophy you have to get the Hades Claws to level 5 which is its maximum level. To select the souls to summon, go to the menu and then press and then on the soul you want to summon.
The list of souls that you have to summon in order are listed:

- Cerberus Mongrel
- Olympus Sentry
- Olympus Archer
- Gorgon Serpent
- Olympus Fiend
- Chimera
- Cyclops Berserker
- Centaur General
- Siren Seductress

Bloody Hell

Cover Kratos in 500 buckets of blood by killing the enemies

This will come through normal gameplay. To speed up the process, whenever an enemy such as a Cyclops has a button prompt on it, always engage in the prompt. This will drop more blood on Kratos.

No Guts, No Glory (missable)

Gut 3 Centaur Generals

There are only three Centaur Generals in the whole game. To gut a Centaur General engage in the button prompt and this will cause Kratos to gut it. If you don't engage in the button prompt, then Kratos will kill it without gutting and you will miss out on the trophy.

Hitting Your Stride

Upgrade any weapon to the next level

To get the Blades of Exile to level 2, you need around 4,000 red orbs. Once you have 4,000 or more red orbs, you will need to go to the menu and select a weapon you want to upgrade. Then hold on it until reaches the next level.

Sibling Rivalry

Kill Hercules

This is a story related trophy. There are a two parts to this boss fight.

Part 1:
This part starts off when Hercules sends the Olympus Sentry. Dispose of them in any way that you want. After all of the Olympus Sentry are dead, Hercules will come down and fight you himself. Hercules is the easiest boss fight on the titan difficulty. His attacks are all short ranged so when he is attacking don't get near him. When he stops attacking, use the + combo on him. Damage him enough and he will rush towards you. Rapidly tap the button and Kratos will lift him. What you have to do now is to carry him to the spiked vines. Once impale him into the vines, Kratos will take off his shoulder pads. Repeat this process until his helmet also comes off. This will make you enter part two.

Part 2:
In this part, Hercules uses the same attacks as in the first part. Just keep attacking him and when you damage him enough, you will enter a button sequence in which you remove his nemean cestus. Once you have remove his Nemean Cestus, he will try to punch you. Avoid those and keep damaging him. He will also throw the spiked vines at you as well. You can dodge those by evading away. In the last part of the boss fight, he will lift the platform up and try to tip you over. Follow the button sequence and Kratos will kill Hercules and you will get this trophy.

Still having troubles with the fight? A video is provided for your aid:

Titan Slayer

Kill Cronos

This is a story related trophy.

This starts when Cronos tries to squish you between his fingers. What you want to do is follow the button prompt to escape from his fingers. Then you have to equip the Head of Helios and blind him. Once you do that, complete the button sequence and kill all the enemies that come out of one of his warts. After you have done this, a climbing sequence will start. Keep climbing until you reach the pimple on the arm. You have to keep attacking the pimple until it bursts. He now tries to knock you off of his arms by slapping it. Just move back and attack the exposed fingernail that is sticking out the most. Repeat this a couple of times and enter the button prompt. Now Cronos will try to squish you with his hand. To dodge his fingers, pay attention to the shadows that his fingers show before he slams them on his arm. Run to the area that doesn't have the shadow over it. Once he slams the fingers down, you have to jump onto the fingers and climb them. Once you do, equip the Helios head and blind him. Follow the button prompt and you will enter a climbing portion.

Keep climbing and you will come to a part where you have to kill 2 stone statues and a few Undead Soilders. Dispose of them quickly using the Nemean Cestus. Open the gates that are gaurding the blue crystal. Once you do, Cronos will grab you and the enemies in a few seconds. Continue on and soon you will grapple to his shoulder. Here you will have to attack the pimple on the shoulder. Through the pimple will come out a cyclops. Keep attacking it until the button prompt appears. Once you do, Cronos will grab you and swallow you. Once he does keep slide down his throat. A button sequence will appear once you get down the throat. Finish it and you will come out of his stomach. Destroy the blue crystal, go to Cronos's forehead and watch the magic unfold! and also you get a trophy.

Retribution

Kill Zeus

This is a story related trophy.

Part 1:
In this part of the fight, you are doing a street fighter sort of battle. The two main weapons to use here are the Nemean Cestus and the Nemesis Whip. The Nemesis Whip does the most damage so I suggest you use the + combo on him. His primary attack so far is 2 regular punches, which can be blocked, and a lightning strike at the end of the second punch, which can't be blocked. Keep attacking him until the button prompt shows up. After the prompt, you will be fighting him the same way but he now has a new attack. His new attack is that he can make lightning bolts come out of the ground. You can dodge those. Keep attacking him. One you damaged him enough, he will leave and you will have time to save your game.

Part 2:
In this part, you are outside and fighting him. He will use mostly range based attacks. He will use the lightning bolt attack, you can easily dodge that or if you want, counter it. After a few minutes Gaia will appear and trigger a cut-scene. This will introduce the last part.

Part 3:
Its the part you have all been waiting for! This is the hardest part. His primary attacks are the lightining bolt (which can be dodged), a charge attack, replications of himself and a shockwave slam. Once he starts using his clones, quickly equip the Blades of Exile and use the + attack. This will keep the clones from getting near you as well as kill them. When Gaia's heart starts glowing, quickly get to it and start attacking it. This will let you increase your healt, but notice that Zus can also do this. Damage him enough and a button prompt will show up. Do it correctly and watch the cutscene. After that you will have to do a few more things which I won't spoil, and you will get the trophy.

Kill Hades

This is a story related trophy. There are many parts to this fight so I will break it down.

Part 1:
When this part starts, what you want to do is to run behind Hades and you the ++ combo. This is very useful and fast so you will have enough time to dodge Hades's attacks. When Hades tries to stomp on you, roll away and repeat the process. Hades will also start using his claws. Do the same process of dodging as in rolling away from the claws and attacking him. Damage him enough and he will use his claws to grapple onto the ceiling and jump down back to the ground. When he does jump to the ground, he will create a shockwave. To dodge this, hust double jump as soon as Hades lands on the ground and keep attacking him. I suggest that you don't use your magic in this part of the boss fight. Damage him more and he will cause the ground to be filled in shadows and chains to appear from the ground. To doge this, run to the area of the ground that is not covered in the shadows. Damage him enough and you will enter a button prompt in which Kratos will rip off his piece of skin. Attack the peice of skin and once it is destroyed, you will move onto the next part.

Part 2:
In this part, Hades does the same attacks as in the first one apart for the attack from the Claws that summons floating skeleton heads which you can gaurd from and the soul absorbing attack from the Claws which can be easily evaded by rolling away from the claws. Your primary weapon of choice in this part should be the Bow of Apollo because Hades won't let you get near him that much. Continue attacking him with the Bow until the button prompt appears again. Repeat the process like before and you will enter the third part.

Part 3:
In this Part, Hades will use a few more different attacks. His first new attack will, that he can summon chains from the ground which are supposed to impale you. You can easily dodge these by running around. His second new attack is that he summons two cerberus dogs to attack you. To dodge this, gaurd at the right time and they will disappear. Keep attacking him with the Bow. Once damaged enough, the button prompt will appear again. Repeat the process with the peiece of skin and ou enter the fourth part.

Part 4:
In this part, it will a tug-of-war style of battle. What you want to do is move back using the d-pad and at the same time attack him. Once this part is finished, you will obtain the Claw of Hades but he isn't dead.

Part 5:
In this part, Hades will come back from the River of Styx. You want to keep attacking him. When the screen starts turning purple, you have to use the grapple points to grapple onto the other side. Keep repeating this and he will die.... for good.

Seeing things from a different perspective

Solve Hera's Gardens

This is a story related trophy. To solve the Garden puzzle, you have to be in the center of the garden which is at the part of the Garden with the broken off stairways. What you want to do is step on the stone slab in the center. This will trigger a cutscene in whcih Kratos pulls out the emerald from Hera's Cup. Once the Statue eye's effect starts, you want to head south and open the gate and go up the stairs. Once you do, the effect of the statue will wear off and you will have to continue moving forward. Open the gate in front of you. Jump down from the platform and kepp moving forward until you get to the broken stairway. Grab the stairway and turn it once to the left. Now drag it all the way to the huge goblet sort of mechanism. This will make the water from the waterfall pour down into the goblet and open up a gate that takes you to dry bramble. Use your Bow of Apollo and set it on fire. When you do this, the next Goblet mechanism will be free to be used. Drag the staircase that you used on the previous goblet over to the opposite side of the gate from the goblet. Make sure the staircase is facing the goblet. Now go back to the center of the garden and activate the stone slab. A chain reaction will occur in which a third goblet is pushed forward by the water. What you have to do now is to get the staircase that you just used and place between the two staircases that is blocking your way in going to the third goblet. Once you have the staircase positioned properly between the other two, pick up Hera's body and place it on the goblet. After the small scene, move the staircase onto the switch and go all the way back and up the stairs. After you go up the stairs, you will solve the puzzle and get the trophy.
