How to unlock the Zeus May Cry achievement in God of War: Ghost of Sparta - Definitive Guide

Simply complete the game on Spartan Mode difficulty. Below are some basic God of War series tips and tricks.


Zeus May Cry General Tips:


Save Points: Keep more than one save file. You'll want to save your game every time whenever you reach a save point.

Game hints: Take note of the game's various hints given to you while playing. These hints are extremely helpful and they don't go away without saying something useful.
Health, Magic and Fire: You'll want to increase all three skills to the maximum by collecting Gorgon Eyes, Phoenix Feathers, and Minotaur Horns. These items can be found in grey chest throughout the game. There are a total of 15 Gorgon Eyes, Phoenix Feathers, and Minotaur Horns for you to collect and each skill increases for every 5 collected

The game is smart when you're dying: If you happen to be dying a certain number of times repeatedly over and over again at the same checkpoint and your health is below about 85%. The game will detect that you're having a difficult time killing the enemies and will restore your health meter to about 85% as a way to secretly help you. The game will also do this if your health is over 85% and will instead lower your health meter. In a way, this is a double edge sword for you or against you.

Blocking: If you're receiving too much punishment from enemies' attacks, then try to block their attacks by holding down the L1 Button button. Doing this will help you block many attacks, or you can reflect projectile attacks and even parry enemy attacks back at them with you pressed the L1 Button button at the right timing. Be careful when blocking because certain attacks are completely unblockable.

Evading enemies attacks: The Right Stick button is your friend and you should become accustomed to using it to dodge attacks.

Grabbing move: You can spam the grab move by pressing the Circle Button button to weaken or to instantly kill certain enemies. Also note that other enemies cannot or will not attack you until your grab animation is finished. Certain enemies you can repeatedly press the Circle Button button over and over again until you killed them, then move on to another enemy and repeat. This makes Hard Mode much easier for you if you’re facing numerous enemies at once. Do be careful though that sometimes you'll have to complete a QTE before you can kill an enemy after grabbing them.

Thera's Bane: Is a very handy weapon in the game for it has the ability to set enemies on fire. The best thing about it is that it also places explosive cores onto the enemies it damages. These explosive cores will simultaneously explode damaging all enemies near the one being exploded. This is a great way to weaken groups of enemies and to thin the crowd. It's also able to stun certain enemies briefly, leaving them open to receive more punishment.
Invulnerability: Take advantage of either the Eye of Atlantis or the Horn of Boreas invulnerability. When you perform these magic skills you won't take any damage from enemies.

Arms of Sparta: Although this is a one-on-one combat type of weapon. It's powerfully fast and agile as it deals more damage than the Blades of Athena. You'll want to max this weapon out as fast as possible when you receive it. The best thing about the weapon is that it's able to be thrown at enemies as well as allowing Kratos to move while blocking.

When playing through the game on SPARTAN, I encountered only two difficult moments:

the first one is the daughter of Thanatos, but here is the only advice: stay in the block constantly and parry her blows, also before you start sucking out your hp, she will fly over the arena from the beginning either on the right or left, at this moment you need to roll in the opposite direction and press also jump in the opposite direction, then there will be no damage.

the second is when, after passing a place with a rapidly moving huge platform that prevents you from passing, where you still need to stop it by running forward at the moment of its rollback and running into the room where you will need to break the gears in order for the platform to stop. So we move on, after a series of beautifully made jumps we are on the balcony from which we will need to jump into the temple where two ghosts of Keres and a cyclops in armor will appear, after killing them everything will repeat again, the same two ghosts of Keres and a cyclops in armor, so that it was easier to pass this place I discovered a BUG!!! , namely: as soon as you jumped inside, wait until the Cyclops comes out while extinguishing the “volatile” ones, then run to the stone, it is located right in the place where you jumped inside and stand in the corner on the left between the stone and the blue transparent wall covering the entrance/exit. The cyclops will carry out one attack and, having stopped, will stand stupidly and look at you, while the “flyers” will fly after him, now turning on the Spartan’s weapon and pressing and pressing (just don’t clamp!!!) otherwise Kratos takes a step and the Cyclops begins to carry out another batch, which can no longer be stopped... so by clamping and pressing extinguish the “volatiles”, and there is a trick here, turn your back to the cyclops then the “volatiles” will fly up from the right and Kratos will be able to hit them, thus we kill all four ghosts of Keres that are poisoning life and we can easily deal with this cyclops and that too which will appear after it.

Otherwise, I didn’t find any difficulties in passing or “impassable” places in the game.

I played the game on PSP on maximum difficulty (God). I will describe the most difficult moments. These are two mobs Geryon and Keres Wraith (they really spoiled my nerves), respectively, all meetings with them. Their attacks are practically unblockable. For the battle with Geryon (a statue with a ball on its head), I recommend saving up magic and quickly rolling when attacking; against Keres Wraith (blind witches diving into the ground), the long-range attack Arms of Sparta (spear and shield) is excellent. Don't forget to move away from diving attacks in time. The main thing is that almost all enemy attacks are BLOCKED in this part, with the exception of the mobs described above.

When the daughter of Thanatos releases a ball that sucks your lives, it is difficult to avoid - it is better when you see what you have gathered, turn on the magic available at that time - the "right" direction button - when using it you do not receive damage. Birds, I jumped up at the place where they appeared and tore everyone apart take turns in the air grabbing at The rest of her blows are perfectly blocked and reflected.
It’s better to kill witches with a spear by jumping higher and spamming them from above +

Perhaps the easiest game on the highest difficulty level.
The most important thing is to be the first to upgrade your blades and tera rage (fire blades) and constantly use rage. This way I very quickly killed bosses and difficult enemies such as ogres and witches. Parry attacks more often, but if you understand that you won’t have time, or you are pinched, then use the eye of Atlantis (right arrow) at the moment of this magic, Kratos is immortal (this fisa, by the way, helps out quite well in a test where you need not to miss a single blow)

if you suddenly get stuck on the Piraeus lion, then simply place a block at the moment of its impact and then press + . also don’t forget about magic and in the end you will defeat him)

Regarding the boss of the daughter of death (witch bird), you can score with one tactic: How to start the battle, wait for the boss to start attacking you, as soon as he starts swinging, immediately put a block (counterattack) and immediately press combo + - the god of war will treat the queen with a fiery splash with a bomb! Once we have done this technique, we immediately run back and wait for the next attack and repeat the same thing! When the boss takes off and starts throwing birds (3 pieces), then immediately place a block and press at the last bird we tear it apart, press block again and reception (when the birds fly up) + hold and immediately We finish off the remaining 2 birds with a fiery whirlwind! Immediately roll into the block, as the boss will immediately make fun of you for killing the last bird! Then everything is the same, we run to the side, remove the block, wait for the boss to swing and counterattack with a combo (as described above)! From time to time the boss will hit you with a ball (which after her death will be your weapon) and he takes a lot of life from Kratos, here the only tactic is to simply stay away from the boss, as a counterattack we immediately run to the other end of the location and carefully watch her. If the boss counterattacks you during attacks, then immediately roll. In this way, the boss is killed in 7 minutes and you may not receive a single damage, the main thing is to learn this tactic.

Personally, I was still haunted by the moment shortly before the Cyclopes in armor in the company of the ghosts of Keres. I think many people might get stuck there... I'm talking about the moment where the birds, along with the ghosts of Keres 4x2, attack before dragging the platform. My tactics are as follows - First, destroy the birds, this will be problematic because the witches will interfere, but otherwise you won’t get through. Then constantly jump and use the Spartan spear to finish off the ghosts. The moment is really difficult, and there is a chance that you will come to it with half your HP.

If you have experience playing gow and know how to parry blows, then the game will be easy for you.

During my entire playthrough on Spartan, what annoyed me most were the mobs jumping out of the ground. During the game you will meet 4 times. When I first met them, I thought they were not porous, but that is not the case. They can be parried by both long-range attacks and melee attacks the moment they pop up.

Even the final boss can be easily defeated the first time, the main thing is to beat him in his normal form with rolls and using Deimos with R1. When he became big, he had 2 types of attacks: spitting, punching. We simply jump away from the blow or dodge it, and the spit can be reposted and then he will lose consciousness and you can beat him calmly.

I advise you to go straight to the difficult level, you won’t find anything difficult in the game, except Thanatos’s daughter, because this little bitch is too fast and takes a lot of life when hit. If you do everything correctly, the game will seem very simple and short (the main thing is to find all the chests before the end of the game and use the right tactics in certain types of battles).

I didn’t notice anything so complicated in principle; the main thing was to block and immediately after that strike with the Wrath of Terra.
