Tips
  • Pay close attention to environmental cues during the Poseidon fight, as they can indicate attack patterns.
  • Utilize Kratos's full arsenal to deal with the various Olympian threats during the initial assault.
  • The fight against Gaia is more of a scripted event leading to Kratos's fall, so focus on surviving the initial onslaught.
