The Ultimate Discoveries in God of War 1 (ft.

[@MrZimnas]

A fellow made a comment regarding magic not being affected by Power%. Given how people aren't going to read comments, I feel it would be good to make a separate video going over which magic abilities ARE affected by power% and which are not. Here's how things are: Magic AFFECTED by Power% (read: gets nerfed on higher settings): -AQ (Atlas' Quake) -NR(Nemean Roar) -All in CoO -All in GoS Magic NOT affected by Power%: Everything else, but for the sake of writing them down -PR (GoW1) -MG (Medusa's Gaze) -Zf (Zeus' fury) -AoH (Army of Hades) -PR (GoWII) -TB (Typhon's Bane) -CR (Cronos' Rage) -EH (Euryale's Head) -DR (Divine Reckoning -AoS (Army of Sparta) -SS (Soul Summon) -NR (Nemesis Rage) -All GARBAGE spells in Ascension Note: Seems like Medusa's Gaze flash while using stare isn't included in the video.

7:36 actually, if you use that attack where you press x after a dodge, you can launch them to the air and perform the trick to launch them back to the ground infinitely. Also, it is worth noting that all magic attacks have no damage reduction in higher difficulties. This combined with full recover from magic chests and the fact that there’s a f ton of them in the game, makes this game extremely easy on very hard if you abuse the magic attacks (and stupidly hard if you only use your blades)

[@MrZimnas]

>X dodge attack Achilles flip is a 'bounce' type. It's a completely different hit property. Zesty referred to 'launch' type with BoC. >magic not being affected by Power% Not set in stone. Some magic abilities in later entries get affected by it. It would be good for such a topic to be covered separately in a future video for the whole series. GoW1 is lucky enough to have all magic abilities be unaffected by Power%. Ain't that something?

[@eu7059]

@@MrZimnas oh ok these are some technicalities but cool nonetheless, I would definitely be interested in seeing more about all these categories of attacks. But it’s still a nice hint for someone who doesn’t know too much about the game. Also yeah I would like to see how power% affects magic in the other games, as I thought it was only a basic damage reduction for all of them. But I remember having no trouble in any part of gow1 on very hard, so I guess the game lost its balance a bit because of it

[@jordansimeonov1501]

Those collisions man its my favorite thing across the series (besides gow 3) Well thanks to Xristos’ videos, they taught me the collisions which saved my ass on a gow 2 titan speedrun Also, thank you Zesty for this awesome content you provide

[@crashingblow3753]

May I make a suggestion Zesty? How about doing guides on the weapons and combat in the series? Kind of like how fighting game KZbinrs do guides on the characters from different fighting games. How do you play as them, what are they good at, their combos, etc. I always felt that me and/or other GOW players never fully realized how to use some of the weapons to their fullest potential until I found your channel and watched some videos where you go through the technical stuff in gameplay. Like when you were ranking the weapons and how you went over what made each weapon good. I remember for example you said that in God of War 2 there was a secret counter system where you could buffer the holding triangle launcher after blocking an attack and it would punish. I never thought of that ever during my first or even second playthrough. I would always just respond with either a jab or I would just simply try to parry the attack instead. Another example is when you said that the spear of destiny had a good launcher and that it was more faster than any launcher in GoW 2. Again, I didn't think of it in my first playthrough until I watched your video. I began using the spear more often in 2 during my titan mode run and I then realized how bad I underestimated that spear. Asides from secrets and tech I never knew about those weapons, I also wish you could go more into detail about how to use the weapons and their special moves, what are they good for, optimal combos, and everything else I previously mentioned. For example, the barbarian hammer. I never used it in neither playthrough. I messed with it for like 3 or 5 minutes and I just dumped it completely due to how trash it just felt to me, especially after I got the spear later which was much much better. However, when I watched you use it in the challenges in GoW 2, I then felt that the hammer had some potential I didn't really see at first. Same goes for other weapons like the blade of Artemis, the spear at first, and the nemesis whip for example. I didn't know how to use them well and what were they good for until I saw and heard you talk about them. Now I know that the blade of Artemis is good for dishing out heavy damage and stun locking some enemies and even sending enemies flying off of stages (the home run trick), now I know that the spear is good for getting quick launches and how to properly use that awesome shotgun blast, and now I know that the nemesis whip is good for making longer combos, good for crowd control, and good for farming for orbs. I feel like if you expanded on those moments where you discussed about those weapons, and made a guide on each weapon (if you could of course), more people would see the true potential of those underused weapons and maybe we would see them used more often in like walk-throughs. I'm not sure if I'm asking the right guy, but from what I have seen from you, I think you are the best person I could ask for to at least consider making guides on each weapon in the series. That's all I wanted to ask for, thank you for having the patience and courtesy of reading through.

[@ExtremeGameplays1]

Thing is. God of War is not a fighting game where everything is linear. It's the type of game that gives you the most freedom you could ask for while in combat (i'm especially talking about gow 1-2-3) And here comes the trick about learning things in these games, and that's simply by watching other players. I got good at these games after YEARS of playing, JUST to go and watch Xristos do stuff i never even imagined possible in these games. The name of the game is watching others play optimally, your method of learning these new stuff by simply watching my videos proves it. And even tho i might make an in depth guide about all the weapons in some distant future, the real learning comes from watching folk play the game professionally. That all goes back to these games giving you freedom like no other game before (or even after) it. You might get into an encounter sometimes where everything works in your favor, others? You have to work with what's given to you and play your cards right. If you have watched my latest 'Let's Argue' video you would understand. I mention and DEMONSTRATE how useful the barbarian hammer is (yes even in the main campaign) by simply talking about it, and that's still a form of WATCHING a god of war player. I hope this helped and definitely expect guides about weapons but don't expect them to be as useful as watching me play the game normally or watching xristos do a challenge run and getting himself into situations where using said weapon is vital.

[@GamER_WIN]

That was awesome! This game never gets boring

[@VengfulScorpion9907]

Here's another tip despite this bieng a year ago. You can grab Shiled Legionnaires without a ⭕ promt. After breaking their shiled with the Plume of Pormetheus, the game for some reason counts them as standard Legionnaires. just immediately grab them and use the Collision to help thin the herd. Note enemies that stll have shields will not get hit by Collision.

[@CoolSaver]

Surprisingly i already knew most of this stuff, but still a good video, thank you. The explanation of collision damage might come in handy to some people. I remember using it a lot completing the hardest difficulties, it works somewhat the same throughout the series.
