God of War 1. God mode. The ending room of pandora's temple. Now I'm not great at hack n' slash but there was one extra caveat. I had NO magic. So there are explody arrow archers, unblockable dive bombing harpies that seem unlimited, and you're fighting on alternating direction conveyor belts that end with steamrollers. I tried it probably 100 times. I had used up my magic in the previous area THINKING I would get a regen before one of the hardest and most climactic parts of the game. Guess what? It never came as all they gave me was health beforehand which I had PLENTY of!
Also the archers' arrows stick in surfaces and explode through them so if they miss you can still get hit at a totally random time by a detonating arrow that was on the other side of the thing you were fighting beside. Then you'd be stunned just long enough to hit a steamroller and die almost instantly. If I had had some poseidon's rage or hades' army to get the harpies off my back while I destroyed archers that would be fine but GOD DAMN I didn't have anything and was thoroughly screwed until I finally beat it after crying, raging, reasoning with the game, plotting out physics equations of the perfect spot to stay in, and consulting various experts including Stephen Hawking, Tom Hanks, Batman, and Peyton Manning. Then my brother restored our PS3 when I was at Ares and all was lost. Depression.
Yes I know there are a ton of no magic playthroughs on Youtube and I'm sure Bayonetta and DMC have way harder sections but I only play GoW for hack n' slash and never play on the hardest difficulty (usually the hardest one needed for the trophies) so yeah I suck at them but really wanted to beat that for some reason.
