God of War II

There are 170+ chests in the game, most of which contain Red Orbs. There are 18 Gorgons Eyes, 18 Phoenix Feathers and 3 Uber Chests (2 of which are your final upgrades) that you can get. Use the link below as a guide to finding all the Chests. If you collect every chest in the game, you should get this specific Trophy about the time you face the Kraken. The game does provide more than 18 Eyes and Feathers, so don't worry if you miss one early in the game because it will eventually show up later in the game. You do NOT have to upgrade the Blade of Olympus to get this Trophy and it can be gotten in Bonus Play or Challenge of the Titans.

Note: This guide specifically points out when your health/magic increase, where all 3 Uber Chests are, and where all 4 Single Player Urns of Power are.

This trophy is much easier than in the first God of War game, and you should not have to grind at all to get it. Search every area for red orb chests and be sure to break environmental objects as often as you can to get more red orbs. Also, the farther into the game you progress, the more red orbs you will start getting from chests. In addition, once you find all the phoenix feathers, gorgon eyes, etc. then you will start getting a boat load of red orbs from chests that would normally contain collectibles.

You should have enough red orbs to max everything out by about three quarters of the way into the game. I ended the game with everything maxed out and about 50,000 red orbs extra.
