Fare Thee Well
Kill Charon, the Ferryman
77.71%
Common
The first time you fight Charon, you are defeated because it's a story fight. But when you return, you have the handy Zeus Gauntlet to take on The Ferryman.

Charon's first stage is simple- he attack you with his Scythe and occasionally stops and launches green orbs at you. When he uses this spell, either roll around them, or parry them back at Charon. In combat, the best move to use against him is Tartarus Rage (L1 Triangle), if you have maximized Blades Of Chaos. Charon will jump to the top of the boat to heal, and when he does, break down a pillar.

Charon returns with a new power, Charon's Wrath. This shoots a green flame, engulfing Kratos in fire. Evade this, because it's powerful. Break another pillar after downing Charon.

Charon's next stage gives him the ability to create a green damage field, similar to the Efreet. Roll out of this. Once again, break a pillar.

Complete a QTE to nail Charon to the wall, and when he returns, jump attack him and finish him with

Swing Batter
Cause the Basilisk to retreat
96.46%
Common
The Basilisk is the first boss in the game, and has some pretty basic moves. He attacks you with his teeth, and shoots a flamethrower from his mouth. Roll to avoid the flame thrower, and attack him with the basic combos from the Blades Of Chaos and he'll be downed. Then, simply complete the Quick Time Event to send the Basilisk running.

Dead Beat Dad
Push away Calliope
77.02%
Common
In the Fields Of Elysium, Kratos realizes he must sacrifice his happiness to protect the world, and his daughter.

Calliope isn't that thrilled to lose her father a second time. You must complete a lengthy Quick Time Event to break Calliope's death grip on your leg.

Tree Hugger
Sacrifice powers
77.02%
Common
After reaching Persephone's dwelling, Kratos must sacrifice his powers to enter Elysium and find his long lost daughter.

It's rather demoralizing to lose all your upgraded powers (which, if you're like me, you're fully upgraded by now). Latch on to the tree and complete a series of difficult Quick Time Events to proceed, and earn the trophy.

Hades Needs a New Wife
Kill Persephone
76.06%
Common
Persephone is the final boss in the game, arguably the hardest.

In the first stage, Persephone will kick up boulders and toss them at Kratos. Roll away from them and hit her on her blind sides with the Zeus Gauntlet (make sure it's fully upgraded). The Blades don't do much against her, but the Gauntlet does. Try Olympic Thunder (L1 Triangle) after a double jump over the boulders.

In her next stage, Persephone is on the broken pillars, and shoots Charon-esque energy balls at Kratos, in addition to a sweeping energy beam that's devastating. Reflect the energy balls with the Sun Shield and dodge the energy beam with double jumps or rolls. When she is knocked from her perch, attack her.

After enough damage, she changes pillars and begins sending beams of energy down on you from the sky. Evade these at all costs. Continue to reflect her energy balls.

Repeat this process until she is on the ground, kneeling. Then, stand in the sun and use the Sun Shield to finish her off, Hel

Atlas in Chains
Chain the Titan, Atlas
76.26%
Common
During the Persephone boss fight, Atlas tries to interrupt with a punch. Kratos will latch on to his hand with the Blades. Finish a Quick Time Event to chain Atlas to the ceiling of Hades (or the floor of the Earth, depending on how you look at it).

Morpheus Defeated
Push flaming cart to the top
88.32%
Common
Morpheus is not actually a boss, and the name of the trophy is misleading.

After entering Marathon, you will have to ignite a cart of hay with a nearby torch to break through Morpheus' fog. There will be 2 archers barring your way, simply kill them with a quick strike from the Blades Of Chaos and continue. When the cart is pushed all the way to the temple (which takes about 30 seconds) you'll unlock the trophy.

Collateral Damage
Find ballista secret
56.86%
Common
While defending Attica, you will take over a Ballista and be tasked with hitting the Basilisk. Before shooting the Basilisk, aim at a stand out building to the beast's left.

Launch the arrow, and if it breaks open the side of the building, you'll have unlocked the trophy. Later on, you can go into the building and get a Gorgon Eye for your work.

Entertain the Persian harem
88.45%
Common
Ah, the ever-present God Of War sex scene! After defeating the Persian King, two gates open. Take the one closest to the Persian's body, and there will be two 'ladies' waiting.

Complete the Quick Time Event and receive a nice Red Orb bonus, this trophy, and (hopefully) nothing contagious.

Sometime in Attica, probably after you defeat the Cyclops, you will have enough Red Orbs to upgrade you're Blades Of Chaos.

Go to the start menu and fill up the meter by holding X over the Blades to upgrade them. The Blades are the best weapon in every God Of War game, so pumping them up will help you later on.

BOOOOOOOM!!!
Kill the Basilisk
89.68%
Common
The Basilisk is the first major boss battle in the game. He's simple to kill, however. The Basilisk has 2 major attacks- a bite, and a flamethrower.

In the start of the fight, the Basilisk will attack with his bite, which does little damage. Either block or roll to avoid it. The problem is that the point of the fight is to back the basilisk to the wall behind him- and if you are hit by the flamethrower, you are knocked back and have to re-do a segment. When he uses his flamethrower, use the Efreet magic to counter it, and you won't be knocked back.

Occasionally, the Basilisk will bite Kratos and you will need to perform a QTE to get out of it. This is good, because it grants health and magic orbs.

When the Basilisk is backed against the wall, you can perform a QTE to finish it. He'll launch fireballs from the wall, and you need to avoid them.

You have to finish this QTE event 3 times to kill the Basilisk, and the fight is the same each time. When Kratos breaks his jaw,

Persian History X
Kill the Persian King
94.47%
Common
The Persian King is a very simple boss to kill.

The Persian attacks with his sword and has minions to help him out. Simply attack him like you normally would. Use the Cyclone Of Chaos combo (L1 Square) to 'crowd control' his minions.

When he is below half health, the Persian will begin using the Efreet against you. Roll away from it to avoid it, and come back at him with the Plume Of Prometheus (Square Square Triangle) for damage.

Once he is out of health, perform a Quick Time Event to finish him off.

Chain Gang
Break the Chains of Tartarus
79.08%
Common
After getting his ass kicked by Charon, Kratos find himself in the depths of Tartarus. Chains, if you haven't noticed, mean nothing to the Ghost Of Sparta. Rapidly tap L1 R1 to break the chains and get back to work.

Seriously, what jail lets an inmate in with all his weapons?

77.95%
Common
In the depths of Tartarus, you will need to complete a switch puzzle that will bring chains with spikes down to the ground from the ceiling, allowing you to jump across.

Once all 3 switches have been activated (and you have to flip them to progress) you will unlock the trophy.

Almost There…
Running across the long chain
77.88%
Common
After moving Hyperion, you will reach an area with many chains and 2 gears.

Jump on the first gear and begin cranking. As you crank the gear, you will move along the chain. However, Harpies and Satyrs will spawn to stop you. The gear will slowly move backwards while you are fighting. The best move here is Cyclone Of Chaos (L1 Square) which will damage all enemies on the small gear.

Jump to the second gear and do the same thing, just for a longer period. Quickly dispatch the enemies and continue along the chain. Once both the gears are in place, a giant chain will straighten out, and you can walk along it. It's the longest chain walk I've seen in a God Of War, but it takes about 20 seconds.

The Power Glove
Acquire Gauntlet of Zeus
78.41%
Common
To get to the Gauntlet, you'll have to go through a puzzle.

After getting rid of the Minotaurs in the prison, break open the wall to left and ascend the stair case. There will be a lone archer at the top, so kill him and break open the wall behind him. You will find yourself on a ledge. Sidle across the long ledge to get to the other side. Break through another wall and walk up to the Cryptkeeper's room. Take his key and toss the chair off the balcony.

Jump down from the balcony, pick up the body of the Cryptkeeper and place it on the button. A bridge will extend leading to another area. Walk along the bridge and you will find yourself in a small shrine erected to Zeus. Bring down the statue of Zeus and pick up his Gauntlet.

Horsing Around
Awaken all three horses
80.87%
Common
There are 3 puzzles associated with the horses.

For the first one, move both of the statues up to their designated place in the floor. This will allow you to pull out the staircase. Once the staircase is out, roll to the left side and enter the secret passage to the other side. In the new room, jump to the balcony and use the sun shield to reflect light to the target.

The second horse is the toughest. Use the light beam and statues to open up the 4 pods with the statues in them. Arrange the statues to raise the center piece, and shine light in the center piece to form a square of light with the statues. Stand in the sun spot and use the Sun Shield to reflect the light on the Horse's statue.

The third horse is simple. Move both the statues into place, and jump on to the broken one and reflect the light with the Sun Shield to extend the staircase.

Return to the area where the 3 horses are together, and turn the handles to straighten the light beams and set the chariot in

Mutton for Punishment
Slit 50 Satyr throats
49.03%
Uncommon
*SPOILERS*
While this is easily farmable right as you enter the temple of Helios, after one of your first encounters with Morpheus, the game makes it extremely easy for you to grind after defeating Charon the Boatman. 5 Satyrs will spawn, and these ones will give you a circle engagement button for when you can slit their throats. Dying on the 5th on repeatedly is the easiest way to grind this. Take into account that there are no Satyrs in the challenges, and there is no arena available in this game.

After you sacrifice all your equipment, the game puts you into a cutscene where Calliope is grabbing at your leg. This is very far in the game, so getting this trophy your first run through may very easily prevent a second playthrough. Just do not press the action button until the trophy pops.
