God of War III

Story Related Trophy. Cannot be Missed.

Hermes will appear just as you complete the section in the caverns where you have to put all of the huge blocks together. After a quick cutscene, Hermes will lead you up the Chain of Balance into the room that holds the Flame of Olympus. There will be another small cutscene, this time with the ghost of Athena. When that is finished, Hermes will appear again and you must give chase, again. Continue to chase him until you get to a giant catapult. Activate the catapult to send yourself hurtling towards Hermes. Perform the QTEs in the air and you'll eventually land and injure Hermes. Walk towards him to start the "fight".

The fight with Hermes is not really a fight, it's more like a chase around this room. Hermes will run around the room trying to keep away from you. Just use your regular attacks to hit him when he gets close to you. There will be a couple of QTE sequences during the fight but nothing difficult. Continue to lay into him with your attacks until Hermes falls to the ground with the QTE icon above his head. Complete this QTE to pick him up by the legs and cut them off to earn this trophy.
