God of War (PlayStation 2) Walkthrough, Secrets & Cheat Codes

PlayStation 2 · 2005 · Santa Monica Studio
Quick Answer

God of War blends hack-and-slash combat with environmental puzzles. The key is red orbs — spend them on weapon/magic upgrades, not ignore them — and in Pandora's Temple, the rotating chambers are solved by pushing blocks onto floor switches in the right order. Use Poseidon's Rage to clear crowds.

PlatformPlayStation 2
Released2005
DeveloperSanta Monica Studio

A mythic action game where Spartan Kratos hunts the gods of Olympus.

2Core Gameplay

Combat chains light/heavy attacks, grabs and finishers. Magic (Poseidon's Rage, etc.) helps groups. Red orbs upgrade gear; green/blue orbs heal. Puzzles use cranks, blocks and timed switches.

3Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  1. Spend red orbs first on Blades of Chaos combos and a magic upgrade.
  2. In Pandora's Temple, align the rotating rooms by stepping on switches and pushing the central block onto the marked tile.
  3. Use Poseidon's Rage when surrounded; use grapple points to cross gaps.
  4. Bosses (Hydra, Ares) are pattern fights — dodge, then punish during their recovery.

4Hidden Secrets & Easter Eggs

Hidden chests and the optional 'Challenge of the Gods' mode reward completionists. The rotating-temple puzzle is the most-cited sticking point.

5Cheats & Codes

No cheat codes in the base game; uses a save file. Emulator save states help with the timing puzzles.
