10 Best Boss Battles of the God of War Trilogy
The boss battles of God of War are one of the most memorable gameplay elements of the entire series. In reaching the end of a level Kratos must confront and kill bosses from mythological beings like the Sisters of Fate, to creatures like Pandora’s Guardian, to titans like Gaia and many, many gods and goddesses like Medusa, who are after Kratos for waging a war against Ares.
In earlier God of War titles, Kratos goes up against more mythological creatures -- and more gods in God of War III. Although, one thing’s for certain - the fights are always gory, gruesome and so very satisfying.
Hercules
In God of War III, Hera the wife of Zeus pits her son Hercules against Kratos. Hercules sees this as an opportunity to steal his brother’s title of God of War. Kratos overcomes the might of Hercules and steals his cestes. Hercules, enraged, lifts entire arena to derail Kratos, but instead drops it on himself -- and Kratos takes the opportunity to brutally smash his face in.
Kratos goes head-to-head with his father in God of War III. The fight begins in the room housing Pandora’s Box, moves to inside the heart of the titan Gaia and then into the arena. After the player kills Zeus, Kratos must fight his ghost. It’s when Zeus comes back to life, Kratos can deliver the final blow and impales Zeus with a sceptre.
Hecatonchires
In God of War: Ascension, players traverse a rotating prison level while fighting off the Goat henchman. It’s not long before it’s revealed to the player that the platform is actually a living, breathing monster the size of a titan called the Hecatonchires.
Kratos must the evade creature’s menacing claws and dodge punches, using his blades to slice through the neck of the Hecatonchires after he sustains enough damage, defeating it in a God of War combat sequence.
