God of War III

After rescuing Pandora, Kratos must head back down to the Underworld to break the Chain of Balance, held by the Three Judges.

As soon as you find yourself back in Hades, you're in for one of the most difficult fights of the game: the three-headed Cereberus dog. Ok, here goes.

Throughout this first section of the fight, you'll want to keep your distance from the dog. It can deal a lot of damage to you in a short amount of time, so the less time you spend near it, the better. This boss is very aggressive and charges at you frequently. Basically, you want to spam your arrows at it for the first part, while staying far away from it. Roll to evade whenever it charges at you. It will also spawn smaller dogs to annoy you. To deal with them, grab them and kick them towards the big dog. Not only will it get rid of the small dogs, but it will damage the big dog as well. Keep doing this until you get the first QTE above its head. Perform the QTE to rip off its first head.

In this section of the fight, a powerful Satyr will spawn to make life even more difficult. It is now that you will want to activate the Sword of Olympus and go to town on the dog. Ignore the Satyr completely and focus on the dog. By the time your energy runs out, the dog should be very close to the next QTE event. When the QTE appears, perform it and get ready for the next section of the fight.

In the third section of this fight, now you will want to get up close and use your Spartan shield magic attack as much as possible. Three or four perfectly placed attacks should be enough to bring the dog to the last QTE. When this QTE is finished, the dog will be dead and you'll just have to contend with 2 annoying Satyrs.

You should have damaged the first Satyr a little bit during the last section of the Cerberus fight so it should die relatively soon. To take care of them both, break out the Nemean Cestus and start punching. These Satyrs are very annoying because they block attacks a lot, jump around and evade your attacks. Just keep on one of them till it's dead and then you can focus on the last one. Use the rest of your magic if you need to (there are magic refilling chests nearby when the fight is over).

When the Satyrs are dead, the gate in front of you will lower and you can now make your way to the Three Judges. Ahead on the right, you should see a portal. Go through it to find yourself on a platform behind the heads of the Three Judges. From here, go to the left and equip the Nemean Cestus. You will find an onyx stone sticking out of the back of the head of one of the Judges. Destroy it with the Cestus to release that Judge's grip on the Chain. As you make your way back to the right, some enemies will spawn. Take care of them in your usual manner and continue to the right. Jump across the gap to come to the head of the next Judge. Destroy the stone sticking out of the head again using the Cestus and again, more enemies will appear from the right. These ones are undead warriors with onyx shields. Take care of them how you usually would: destroy the shields with the Nemean Cestus and then punch them into submission.

After they are dead, continue to the right and make a turn up the hallway here. When you get to the end of this hallway, a Satyr and two onyx shield enemies will appear. You can either fight them quickly, or avoid fighting them altogether and climb down the vine wall. Whatever you choose to do, climb down the vine wall found here and make your way over to the head of the last Judge. Destroy the stone to release its grip on the Chain, revealing two onyx stone sections of the Chain of Balance. Now make your way back to the portal that brought you up here and go through it. Now go over to the Chain and destroy the onyx sections.

The trophy will unlock shortly afterwards.
