#Hades god of war series

Because he's constantly feeding you new magic, it's a good idea to make use of the magic you've got. Just wait for Ares to return to the ground before you start up your own offense.Īfter dealing a significant amount of damage to Ares, the god will cough up health and magic orbs to replenish your stocks. You'll be able to outrun the fiery boulders quite easily, though you shouldn't bother trying to attack back. The best way to dodge the moves is to use our patented fast-moving trick-roll with the Right Analog Stick, shoulder charge once (R1), roll with the Right Analog Stick, shoulder charge once, repeat. Ares will teleport to the sky and throw fireballs at Kratos in rapid succession. Don't bother trying to counter-attack when he does this-just keep your distance and wait for Ares to stop (he'll usually only do the attack twice).Īnother of Ares' attacks will come in the form of fiery boulders that he launches at you.

The God of War will also use his back-mounted spires to attack you from afar, so be sure that you've got plenty of distance between the two of you in order to avoid this attack.

If you get stunned by the hammer, Ares will often follow up with a very powerful air combo that you don't want to be a part of. When it does, double jump and you should avoid the area effect of the hammer blow. Be patient and wait until the moment before the hammer strikes the ground. Do not roll-Ares will slam the hammer on the ground, shaking the entire ground and stunning Kratos if you're touching the ground. You'll see a spark of red around him as he summons the hammer, which is your cue to stop attacking. Ares' first counter attack is usually the slamming of his huge hammer. Generally, you want to attack Ares from afar, using quick attacks from your Blades of Chaos (don't even think about using the Blade of Artemis). Ares has a bunch of attacks to watch out for, and every one of them is very damaging. Ares is probably the most difficult enemy in the game, and he's not as easy to predict as other bosses.

You're going to need them.Īfter a series of cutscenes, you'll be left to do battle with Ares, the God of War. If you haven't done so already, we recommend powering up your Poseidon's Rage and Army of Hades moves.

Just past the oracle is a pair of orb chests-be sure to grab their contents and take time to power up your weapons now. Continue past the archers and through the area with the oracle.
