How to Beat Cerberus Strategy

Master the Cerberus boss fight in God of War Trilogy Remake with our expert strategy guide. Learn its weaknesses, attack patterns, and the best tactics to emerge victorious.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Fire (ironically, it uses fire attacks but is vulnerable to them when staggered), Magic
• Resistances: Physical attacks when its heads are down.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Cerberus attacks with lunges and fire breath from its heads. Dodge its lunges and attack its flanks.
2. Phase 2: Cerberus becomes more aggressive, adding a ground pound attack that creates a fiery AoE. Continue dodging and look for openings after its attacks.
3. Phase 3: Cerberus's heads glow red, indicating enhanced fire attacks. Use magic to stun it and deal heavy damage.

Strategy:

• Dodge Cerberus's lunges and fire breath. Its attacks are telegraphed, giving you time to react.
• When Cerberus finishes an attack sequence, it will be briefly vulnerable. Use this opening to land combos with the Blades of Chaos.
• Utilize Apollo's Ascension magic to stun Cerberus, creating a larger window for attack.
• If you have the Nemean Cestus, its charge attack can stagger Cerberus effectively.
• Be patient and don't get greedy with attacks. Focus on survival and chipping away at its health.
