elon005: I recall your first YouTube vid but nothing further about you. Have you introduced yourself via the proper thread yet?

drifter: Would prefer more detailed coverage but an update is fine too.

Well, here are some of my updates. I have been sick for 1 week+. So pardon me for my poor brief description as my mind is goggy from the medication. I will just list out those stages which gave me problems.

The Challenge of Poseidon 

a) Unable to finish the puppies in time, i allow 2 of them to grow into Cerberus. Dealth with the puppies first, then the Cerberus.

Whatever works. It can be hard to get all of those little punks without alt.OH as an option..especially without magic. Cerberus can be dangerous in such a situation as they can as a group, create lots of puppies in a hurry.

Desert of Lost Souls

a) Initially, i had problems with Sirens. Until i use POP, using the last hit (Triangle) for quicker kill. Tried to launch her for air grabs, aint easy for me. Luckily, there are minotaurs for health orbs. ^ ^

PoP's last hit is called Plume due to that combo. Just like Spirit, Valor and Might are the titles of the enders used in the combo they are listed with. Desert Sirens (3) cannot be launched/bounced..so don't feel bad about not being able to pull that off. The living HP orb stations...Minotaurs. I'd have suggested getting a "Spirit" combo going and just using the ender for the big hit.

The Challenge of Atlas

a) Getting the shield of hades isn't much of a problem as i use throws for collision damages. 

Though the collisions work differently in GoW1..they are still very useful in a fight like this.

b) Getting the handle of Atlas is kinda tough here, before the ground give way. hard part for me is to target at Siren once i grabbed hold of the enemy once their shield is gone. I used launch attack on Siren for fast kill. Rarely made it. Phew!

That part can be a bit troublesome with the slightest of errors.

c) Dealing with the Centaursis a pain. One mistake, you are almost gone. I did tried to do some air grabble on the ground (for greater damage) before luring them back to the pool for the 'O' minigame. Didn't really work out in the end, so what i did eventually is: I did a double jump from the pool, launch them and QUICKLY press 'O' for grab. Surprisingly, Kratos is able to grab from the pool Just before the centaur landed. That end the battle fast. Yes, its risky though.

A known *successful* strat for that part. I've done a lot of work there. Lots of little tricks have turned up..but a full proof new strat isn't yet finished and is on hiatus.

I stopped at the rolling Gigantic Fireball. It's fun playing GOW1 back. ^_^

I just bet it is.

She needs to go back down the ladder used to reach the rooftops and get Zeus' Fury (past roof archers). It will involve pushing a balista towards a puzzle that will turn the ballista so it can blast through a wooden door. Once you have this spell, you can kill far away creatures *even that guy holding the lever*

DO IT YOU BUM

~LegoRobot, one of them...

drifter: Would prefer more detailed coverage but an update is fine too.

elon005: NUR+ in what? (GoW1/GoWII) I don't remember you so pardon the question if you aren't new.

~"You've activated my Trap Card!" Reminds me of Kaj's "The Whole Universe is Going to Die!" that's actually my favorite one. Mweh-heh. Funny stuff. SPEAKING OF FUNNY STUFF http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsJyfN0ICU YARR!InfernoPirate

Have you checked out the comic wherethe quote I brought up is being used?

~That vid...Pedobear cannot get enough of that s***ty show. Kaj is great

If find that this Electricretard lacks understanding of how to execute jokes quite often. He has properly offensive material and the whole PAINT look down...just fails to deliver the lulz 9 out of 10 times it would seem.

ED is EncyclopediaDramatica...they understand lulz very well.

2 good ones:

LegoRobot*4 out of 5 WIN* (they appeal to those that like insanity)

WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! WARNING!

WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! WARNING!

PBF*3 out of 5 WIN* (the way these are handled vary greatly whereas LegoRobot is fairly consistent with what it does)

They aren't all winners..the degree of lulzyness can vary of course. For LegoRobot, I especially enjoy strips with the bald, scared fellow with a grisled face...he is bats*** in ever appearance.

"Let this be our final battle..."

"YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!"

"..I've begun to spin."

^You will only understand upon seeing this nonsense/madness play out. He likes to speak of Jews stealing his essence and show women as dumb creatures.

PBF plays to another $tyle all its own. Likea bunch of girls finding a giant egg, taking care of it and it hatches as a Raptor that tears them apart. Another pokes fun at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a disturbing way. *lovely*

~I'm still going through the ED list concerning webcomics. Didn't like White Ninja and have to go through TPLIF still. They can't all be funny.

Well, I missed them more in the GOW1 God NUR+, but the GOWII leveled L1+face button attacks were still good in the air. Also, I miss Spirit during my NURs, it is just such a great move. Don't feel obligated, but unless you give me some pointers, I might just focus on my PS3 games for a while instead of trying to complete CotT NUR. I do feel like doing a regular Titan mode run, as well as a specialty Hammer run, using only the hammer(when possible), and the god armor costume.(Titan mode of course, everything else is just a joke to me now.)Alucard_rules

Understandable. I still feel GoW1 Kratos' Blade attacks weresuperior AND worked together better. *overall..we all know that Rising Helios was a piece of trash..there were plenty of crap attacks to list..Tartarus Rage (ground) likes good..but who the hell is going to use THAT seriously?* Air attack wise..I like GoWII Kratos slightly better..slightly...I grew to like Apollo's Offensive and Falling Helios...lets not even discuss Lance of the Furies because they said an attack like that would return and it f***ing didn't..Tartarus Rage (air) is NOT the same..an attack with a small blast *bounce* radius and NO charge =/= LotF's greatness. The basic OH (slam) is better in GoW1..the other variations in GoWII makes things interesting..especially alt.OH as an option. Athena's Wrath is trash compared to Achilles' Flip *I loved that suprise lift*..it let me exploit the roll to triangle effect...also R1 attacks were highly exploitable and often good. The Homerun effect...you get the idea..I could go on and on..

Spirit can still be used in NURs..you just have to use the long version of the combo.

I sort of HAVE to stick with the place I'm at now...it is hard to stay motivated with a fight like the Translator of Lahkesis to welcome you back *with a knife in one hand* Got to power through it. Perhaps you can tackle that challenge later as I really can't afford to let myself be distracted...because I really want to do further skip hunting and exploit testing...but cannot until I at least cover this area conclusively.

Try out those diversions you have listed..fun runs can prove interesting. I advise trying to make them feel different though usage of/focus on spells/weapons you would not usually use..preferable somewhat fitting for the costume you chose.

It is hard to go back to pre-Titan at this point..when I look at RotT+Amulet usage..it appears to drains at a speed similiar to that of EASY..I wonder what it would look like on EASY to use such a combination..too bad there aren't any great fights where the amulet is truely involved..at least not in the Story. CotT4 has a statue...but it isn't on Easy or Titan difficulty. it would appear it is on God..not sure. They don't attack as viciously and collisions are lower..have to be certain though..so I'll test it one day

I noticed. I just tried doing CotT on Nur conditions. Not liking it so far. Not in the "This is hard, I'm going to try really hard to beat this" way, more like "How the heck am I supposed to do this? I'm not a masochist." way. I'm stuck on the second challenge, trying to mainly use the SoD and CR, but it isn't doing me much good. Because the main tool for air raping non-infini-grapple enemies is either rampage of the furies or cyclone of chaos, both of which are unavailable.Alucard_rules

This is where it helps to be good with subs. I haven't played CotT2 NUR in a while so I don't recall what I did. I'd have to go back and do it again to recall. Don't expect to get Titan rank on all of them this way *obviously*.

I was never dependant on the leveled abilities of the Blades so I wouldn't know the feeling of suddenly missing them.

Alucard: CotT NUR. NUR+ isn't an option in any Bonus Play settings sadly. You could start doing AotF challenges which I refer to as Challenge of the Fates..if that grows beyond your interest..then CoO is all that awaits you.

booyakasha: That you probably did. I had Eternal use whatever weapon fit the situation rather then forcing him to master any one of them. Whatever strat I knew that would dumb a fight down..I'd have him use..even if I had to create a new part of it to make it even easier. He wasn't getting a hang of rolling around TM3 then using DR so I just had him keep his distance and DR with absolute safety *though he is forced to learn tricks that will hasten things or allow advanced tactics*. He is currently at just before the Atlas Lift in his run.

Ninja Gaiden..nuff said

MistryMan: In that they are Paint based works I agree. Though I find electricretard to be nearly devoid of lulz despite the material he uses to shock with. That silly attention whore of a pedophile, nazi supporter...if only he were funny *kekeke*

ED had less then flattering things to say about the guy. Though they note artists I know to be lulzy. Interested?

InfernoPirate: Indeed.
