CRONOS RETURNS & BYE HERA | First Time Playing God of War 3 - Part 5

Squash the like for Cronos

God of war 2018 has a level system. Equipment and enemies have levels. You should start with normal mode and if it's too easy you can change difficulty.

[@HYDECODM]

bro is bad at it in game too 🤭🤭🤭

[@tobitroyer9429]

​@songoku6898 please don't make him play this piece of 💩 game. The combat is so annoying. No story just fighting areas. No good weapons or bosses. Even the fighting is annoying as hell 😅. There is a annoying grab mechanic in fights. You have to grab enemies with your chains 😅. This game is one of the worst games ever made. But it has multiplyplayer.👌👀

[@jaykiani3112]

Cronos calling kratos "a coward who kills his own kin" is some interesting logic considering he used to treat his kids like tic tacs

[@dogogwa9025]

All godly possessions Zues' eagle : ♾️ rage. Hades helmet: maxes out all stats ( heath, magic, etc). Helios shield: Every hit counts as 3 on the hit counter Hermes coin: 10x red orbs Aphrodites garter: allows you to use Athenas blades for the whole game (if you want) Hera's chalice: drains health but never killing you ( more of a challenge item) Hephestus ring: wins (most) QTE'S for you Hercules shoulder guard: makes you take 1/3 normal damage (stacks with costumes) Posidens conch shell: ♾️ magic

[@f5673-t1h]

There are some BIG fights near the end, so remember that L1 + O from the Blades of Exile is your BEST MOVE. It staggers big enemies.

[@liammech6694]

39:57 The original one is Pandora, she came to life after Hephaestus created her. Her sacrifice is required to open the box, which is why Hephaestus tried to stop Kratos. He loved her like a daughter.

[@KevinBrown-lv2fk]

i mentioned this in a previous video but the garden areas illusion puzzles were outsourced by santa monica studios and designed for gow3 by the creators of an indie game called echo chrome which is definately worth a try if you guys and gals like that kinda puzzle game

[@matiasgago]

That is so cool man def felt like something completely new and out of the gow box

[@blitzy7961]

Oh damn I never knew devs did outsourced stuff like that. That's pretty cool

[@nebky]

Absolutely gassed for GoW 2018 - it's very different but absolutely up your street, you're going to love it. Difficulty wise, I recommend starting on Hard (Give me a challenge), I completed most of the game that way on my first playthrough and only dropped it down once for the hardest optional boss. Big love, keep up the great content.

[@BrunoVelius]

33:34 I don't know if you noticed but here you can see Chrono's head. It's a detail I've never noticed after so many years. Pandora the Explorer.

[@zanderbeasley5868]

The myth of Daedalus: He built many things, but most notably the labyrinth that imprisoned the minotaur. When he was done, king Minos imprisoned him and Icarus in his own creation. Daedalus then designed wings made of wax, and feathers left by birds who landed by his window. The two escaped, but not before Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sea or sun, for both would melt the wax. Icarus being to cocky and excited about flying, went too close to the sun. The wings melted and he fell to his death. In game, Icarus avoided that fate, and Daedalus never left the labyrinth. The labyrinth in myth is supposed to be an actual maze, and not hanging puzzle blocks, but this is still a cool way of designing such a thing.

[@lightmohamed5700]

There is already a maze in the game in the form of hera’s garden

Yeah another video! Loving this series. Considering the playthroughs i have seen you do, you should definitely choose give me a challenge. It won't be as painful as give me god of war. But it will give you a bit of pain. I loved god of war 2018. I used to play all my games on story mode. But god of war 2018 was the first game i played after dark souls.

53:25 Info: Egypt was ruled by the Greek empire for like 300 years, so the Egyptian warriors did fight for Greece, more specifically Alexander the Great, at one point in history.

[@Hedron1027]

Mati, I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but the Nemesis Whip is called that because Nemesis is the Goddess Of Revenge in Greek mythology.

55:55 btw if you love this puzzle, Superliminal is another game to add to the list. Quite short puzzle game, but an extremely interesting concept. The tagline for the game is "perception is reality" and thats all you need to know.

[@Vohaul86]

51:00: My first GoW 2018 playthrough (including the bonus bosses) was on the hardest difficulty, so I think you can do Hard difficulty right after beating these games, despite the change in the combat mechanics. (But of course that may cause a lot of game overs that waste your time and slow the progress...) Edit: The same with GoW Ragnarök, except the bonus bosses in that game broke me, but I did manage to finish the story.

[@f5673-t1h]

Other than the chests in Daedalus' room, you missed the red chest to the right of the gate to the caverns. (the one you opened with a rotating crank)

Every weapon has a purpose: Blades - versatility (still the best) Claws - crowd control and summons Cestus - damage and breaking onyx Whips - combos Also quick tip about the whips: if you hold the inputs, you farm orbs from the enemies (mainly rage orbs), making them my favorite alternate weapon. The hard difficulty for gow 2018 is give me a challenge, I find it the most enjoyable difficulty. Give me god of war (hardest) is only for those who have quick reflexes for dodging and especially parries.

You can go hard in 2018. The beggining will be hard, but after you get a few upgrades it will feel like normal. The thing I hate about hard is the hp of enemies, not that they hit hard, just take longer to kill

You can happily flip the difficulty back and forth and all around easy medium and hard. The hardest difficulty locks you out if you change off of it and it has special features designed to punish any skill less than near mastery. Give it a shot then just lower the difficulty when you've had your fill.

All the Godley possessions obtained in the game can be used after you beat the game, but on another new playthrough, basically when you start a new game you can pause and use L1 to view your items and then turn them on heras chalice is for more of challenge if you feel the game is too easy for your skills later on

[@TheRealProdigy]

51:06 the combat is completely different. The game is a lot more difficult, but I think you should play on the balance difficulty first and you can always change your difficulty and you just go back one save. It’s worth to try on balanced.

[@adelindanaila]

Lesgoooooo! Also, the items can be used in bonus play, it's like a NG+ but with modifiers given by the items. Oh, and yeah. GOW 2018 is hard. Like hella hard. The enemies are damage sponges and you have to play secondary missions to get better equipment, but the next difficulty after "normal" should be manageable.

Hello Mati God of war 2018 has 4 difficulty settings, they can be changed mid-game except for the hardest one. The combat is different from the previous games and I would recommend that you play it in normal. But if you want to play it in hard, go for it. It is doable, I'm sure you can manage without too much trouble (except maybe in a couple of cases where you might die a lot haha). And worst case scenario, you can tone it down to normal at any moment.
