About Challenge of the gods in GOW 1



Im a veteran GOW player, played GOW and GOW2 over and over on ps2, but never actually tried the challenge of the gods, its an unlockable feature once youve beaten the game on normal difficulty. Last week bough the GOW collection for my ps3, been a while since i played so i gave it a go and beated, once again, GOW 1. Now after that i actually tried the challenge of the gods and i tell you, it was never meant to be beaten, i almost went crazy trying to conquer this mode, challenge 1 to 9 were fairly easy, just took a couple of try for each before succeeding, but the last one,( challenge 10 of 10) i swear to God, i tried for 2 hours and a half, never been able to do it. Its so ridiculously tuff its not even funny. Anyone else here almost lost is sanity trying to beat this epic challenge?

I bow b4 those of you who actually done it, congratz!

yes ive been there... twice!!!
i beat it on my second attempt(second meaning ive gone through all the challenges except the last twice)
the trick is to stay in the center and never get to far outside or your *beep*

(RIGHT)wHERE is my mind?

Hi, dunno if you're still struggling with this, but the way I do it is to get in the centre and double jump, press and hold O (the move where he drops down and plants his blades in the ground sending orange shockwaves about). Everytime this (fully charged) hits the ground, it will fire all three little doggies of the side. The two satyr guys will probably block it, but that doesn't matter. Keep doing this and you'll eventually raise the island enough to jump over to the end. Just kill the dogs and ignore the satyrs. There is a recovery time after doing the move and you may get battered before you can block and get back to the centre. But by the time tyou're ready to do it again, the three dogs will be back. This way you instantly kill three at once, and the dogs raise the platform the same as the rock hard satyrs, so don't bother trying to kill them.
This tactic doesn't work everytime, but eventually it will. Depends a lot on the satyrs' actions as they can knock you off ridiculously quickly.
Hope this helps!

I got the 10th challenge last week and believe me when I say, it's 99% luck

Pressing and then holding the square button is quite effective IF it works and make sure you have Rage of the Titans too!


Thought I was havin' trouble with my adding. It's all right now
