I just beat Ascension. Trials of Archimedes was such a bitch, but I figured it out. Its pretty much common sense but it takes some gaming nohow of understanding mechanics and computer behavior. |
After dying the first time, I thought it was really unfair. I even contemplated tweeting Adam Sessler an apology for calling him a bitch a week ago. Once I figured out what to do against each set of enemies though, it was pretty easy. I beat the trial on my third try (without the patch that nerfed it for all difficulty settings).

I dont even know if I got the patch but I beat it on hard. I parried alot but I dodged and Orkos stoned more than I even did that. Sometimes because of how many buttons this trial demands I forgot about my strong elemental attacks but eventually i used those and got stronger combos off. The Orkos stone and time suspension are a saving grace in this whole thing. I dunno how I would've gotten through it without. SSM must've gotten the memory that some people thought GOW was easy and decided to fuck with those people. Final Boss was one of the most epic ever.

The patch came out last Saturday, I think. It basically gives you health and magic orbs after each level of the trial. If you didn't get any orbs, you played without the patch (like a boss). I always started off with the Orkos Stone, followed by Time Suspension, and then combos until the suspension wore off. Then I'd do two magic attacks (Hades or Zeus) with combos in between. Rinse and repeat until victory.
Honestly, I thought it was the most epic final battle in the series. The GOW3 final battle dragged on in my opinion, but the Zeus side scrolling 1 on 1 fight was awesome.

The hydras and the amazon chicks were the worst. Everyone else was easy. I can beat four hydras alone, but coupled with those chicks who shot out electicity it was worse. Outside of that it was smooth sailing.
