Secret Message 2:
Alternately, keep hitting the two statues at your throne at the end of the game. Eventually they will break, giving you a puzzle of a group of numbers. These numbers are for a U.S. telephone number you can call for a funny message (1-888-447-5594).

In the PAL version of the game this will be replaced with a bonus intermission sequence featuring the events after the Ares and Minotaur statues are destroyed.

Hint: Move faster:
Press Right Analog-stick Forward to roll forward, then press R1 to execute a Hermes Rush shoulder charge before the roll ends. Repeat this to move faster.
Jason Voorhees.

In order to get rid of the pause in between dodge rolls and also move faster, repeatedly tap an attack button while doing so (excluding certain attacks such as Hermes Rush). Instead of performing the attack, the dodge roll will stop it, and continue moving.

Hint: Easy red orbs:
When you set off to find the two shields for the sculpture, go back into the room with the broken off stairs. Go up, get across the narrow boards, and pull the lever. The rope goes down and you can slide down it. Go across the rope where soldiers try to kill you. Get to the other side, then get out the Blade of Artemis (L1 + R1). Then, get the Hades shield and run up to the ledge where you can jump off to the rope going up. Many soldiers will appear. Use the Blade Of Artemis to kill them all. This will give you a lot of red orbs, and more time spared.

When you are fighting the first Ares at the end of the game, do not kill him. Just stab him once with his leg and let him hit you off. You should get 1,000 orbs. Keep doing this for a lot of orbs and any weapon, or any of magic that you have not maxed out. You will need it against all the clones in the next battle.

When you get on the ship at the end of the first level after defeating the Boss Hydra, jump on the bed and press R2. Follow the commands as prompted on the screen. When the vase falls off the night stand you will get some orbs. The second time you do it, you will only get five orbs.
Scott OMalley , Matthew Boltas, and Andy L.

Play as Dairy Bastard with Medusa Gaze in the temple of the Temple Of The Oracle. Upgrade it, then use it to freeze them to gain 30 orbs each. Do this as much as desired to gain red orbs easily, which can only reach 199 bars of red orbs (which equals 60,000 red orbs).

After your encounter with Medusa, where you have to rip Medusa's head off, you are told to use it to freeze the Mintoaurs. They will keep respawning until you have killed enough of them with Medusas Gaze. However, do not use Medusas Gaze. Instead, use Poseidon's Rage. The magic box will keep refilling itself. Use Poseidon's Rage in the beginning to stun the Mintoaurs. Notice your hits combo on the lower right-hand side. Because the magic box will keep filling, do this as many times as you can to get the possible hit combo to about 100. To keep increasing your combo, do a mini-game with one of the Mintoaurs in between the combo. You will receive 20 orbs after the kill. Your magic box will be full now. Then, keep repeating Poseidon's Rage to increase your combo to potentially 400 to 500 hits. The orbs will increase 15, 20, 30, and 45 every other 50 hit or 100 hit increase. Try maxing out your Poseidon's Rage first. When maxed out, go crazy with it because the Mintoaurs keep respawing. Poseidon's Rage will be so explosive that after you are done killing the three spawned Mintoaurs with the Circle tap, they will die, respawn, die again, and respawn. You can have a hit combo of roughly 900 to 1,000 hits. Your orb bars will fill extremely fast. When satisfied, use the orbs to max out anything else.

After you collect both Muse Keys, go back to the rings of Pandora. Go to the first ring and turn it to the passage with no traps and a door at the end. Go up to the door and open it with the keys. Inside you will find special sand that raises your Health, Magic, and experience points. You will also find Red Orb chests.
Taylor.

When you are above Hades hall and walking along the boards, you can jump from the first platform to the next, and the first red chest back to the platform. When you get to the little hole thing in the wall you can jump to the second chest platform.
Taylor.

After you kill Medusa, do not use her magic to kill the Minotaurs. While in this room, you will have unlimited magic. Use Poseidon's Rage. Kill the Minotaurs this way until they stop giving red orbs. Use Medusa's magic to get out of the rooms.
Brian Stafford.

In the Harpy room, do not block the holes. Kill some Harpies until they stop giving red orbs. Then, block the holes.
Brian Stafford.

Hint: Easy kills:
This strategy may be cheap, but it is incredibly easy and helpful when fighting multiple Minotaurs and other enemies. It requires at least a level 2 Blades Of Chaos. Knock them up with R1 + X. When in the air, release R1 and press Circle to grab its leg and hurl it back to the ground. The Minotaur will bounce back up, giving you multiple chances to repeat the throw. It should only take three or four throws to kill a Minotaur this way. As the minotaurs get stronger, you will need to knock them back up by pressing the Right Analog-stick towards it, then pressing X. Note: This requires a level 5 Blades Of Chaos. This strategy works on other monsters, such as Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Archers, and Gorgons. Using this strategy with Gorgons may require more practice than it would with the other monsters.
Aaron Tymec.

Hint: Easy experience:
Fight the Hydra while using the Dairy Bastard costume. After completing the game and the Challenge Of The Gods you can restart the game. If you play as the Dairy Bastard you can gain lots of easy experience while fighting the Hydra by continuously using Poseidon's Rage to get the combo count as high as possible. Because the Hydra cannot die unless you grab and kill it, there is not limit to the combos.
Xiahoububba.

When you are in the room after you decapitate Medusa for the first time, Aphrodite should tell you to freeze the Minotaurs to continue. Do not do this. Instead, switch to Poseidon's Rage and keep using it on the Minotaurs. Because you have unlimited magic in this room, get as many combos as desired. The red orbs stop appearing at 1000 hits. However you can stop the combo at any time and repeat this trick to get many orbs. Keep some saved for the weapons that you will unlock later.
jalmar coyle.

You can gain easy experience points after fighting the Hydra. Jump on the bed the two girls are on and press Circle to enter a mini-game. If completed properly, the mini-game will give you experience points.
Some Dude.

Hint: The Gates Of Athens: Easy orbs:
Use the following trick to max out your Blades Of Chaos, Poseidon's Rage and Medusa's Gaze. After you reach Athens and you encounter the Oracle's image. climb up the stairs. You will see Ares for the first time. Save the game here. This will take a lot of time to do. Walk to your left down the stairs and enter the gate. Ares' fireball will break the gate, locking you inside. In order to get out you must lure a Minotaur to the switch and freeze him so you can slide out. However, do not do that and do not leave this room. Kill as many Minotaurs as possible until no more of them give you orbs. Notice that no matter how many Minotaurs you kill, they will keep respawning. You can use as much magic as desired. As long as you are in that room, the magic box will keep refilling. Every time a Minotaur comes out, freeze him with Medusa's Gaze and break him. Every time you do this, you will receive fifteen orbs. If you run out of magic, refill with the box. If you run low on life, fight the Minotaur then do the mini-game to get some health back. Keep freezing then breaking them to get unlimited orbs.
Eddie The Big Yeti Guerra.

Hint: Pandora's Temple: Skull lock:
When you first get to the rings of Pandora's Temple, run around the ring. There is a skull-shaped lock, with a skull-shaped hollow. To open the door you must go to the sarcophagus of the architect's son. Pull off the lid and jump on the body. Rapidly press RB2 and eventually the head will come off.
DunkRabbit.

Hint: Temple Of The Oracle: Easy orbs:
First, unlock Dairy Bastard. Enter the Temple Of The Oracle. Keep using Gorgon Flash. Because there is an unlimited amount Harpies, you can get an unlimited amount of red orbs. Note: Each kill is worth 30 red orbs.
Mark Reaves.

Hint: Defeating Ares:
When fighting Ares in the final battle in God mode, Ares should first stick his sword in the ground and crush you with the four pillars. If not, keep evading Ares until he does. When Ares tries to crush you with the four pillars, roll toward Ares and let him have it with the sword. Use the L1 + Square combo then roll away from Ares. Ares will then start chasing you. Keep evading him until he tries to attack you. Then, go up to Ares and let him have it again by just pressing X. This is where your swords should clash and a mini game will start, where you have to simultaneously press Circle. If you win the mini game, you will take a good chunk of Ares' health. Then, repeat the process until Kratos is victorious.

Hint: Defeating the Minotaur Boss:
Use the following trick to defeat the Minotaur Boss under the God difficulty setting. Go to the wooden door to get the Minotaur to come out. An intermission sequence will start. Instead of an all-out-brawl, run to the platform behind you. The Minotaur will follow, and this is where you should fight him. All of his attacks can be blocked. The only bothersome one is where he grabs and throws you back on the floor. This does not cause too much damage. After a few hits, his armor springs a leak. After a few more leaks he will run away and hide. If you are still on the platform, quickly run to him and start the mini-game. After you follow the rotations, you can hit him with a log. Repeat this cycle until his armor his gone and you can now kill him. Keep using those tactics and eventually he will run away and you can kill him with a log. If you choose to fight him on the ground, he has special attacks that are bothersome and damaging.
Brian Stafford.

Use the following trick before battling the Minotaur Boss under the God difficulty setting. Have Zeus' Rage magic maxed out in order to take out his armor very quickly . Use the super charge (hold R2 + Triangle). Two hits will spring a leak. Make sure to stand in the corner where his hands cannot get you. This is magic consuming, but it will drop magic orbs when the armor springs a leak. If you run out of magic, just hit its right hand to damage the armor. Eventually you will break the armor. Then, kill it armor-less.

Hint: Muse Keys:
The first muse key is behind the statue of atlas in a chest. The other key is found after you have defeated the green three headed dogs for the first time you go outside and can see Kronos crawling. When you get on the top ledge, do not go to the left. Instead. go to the right and you will find the obvious Muse Key. After discovering them you will return to the Rings Of Pandora. Insert both keys into the door after turning the handle, then a room will be revealed. Go in and stand underneath every statue with the sand coming out of their mouths and press R2. You will rewarded with twice the amount of your current red orbs, increase your health a level, as well as your magic.
Arshia Seyedi.

Hint: Harpy puzzle:
When you are in the room filled with Harpies that keep coming out, kill them and notice that they are coming out of odd-looking holes. To stop them, use the shields of the statues in the room to block the entrance. The left statue goes in the right hole, and the right statue is for the left hole. Once all are blocked, kill the remaining Harpies. Go up the stairs to the ledge with the boards that fall off when you are going across. Do not worry if you fall off many times. The Harpies cannot get out. Also if the boards fall off, you will eventually find the boards that do not.
DunkRabbit.

Hint: Escape Medusa's maze:
There are many ways to escape the maze. Use evade (Right Analog-stick) many times, slash them with the blades, shoulder charge them (if unlocked, used as R1), use the Wrath Of Poseidon if you have any special remaining, or the special Zeus' Fury, your own Medusa's Gaze, the Blade Of Artemis, or just rip their head off (if Circle appears above their head).
DunkRabbit.

Hint: Extra Magic Feathers:
After receiving Poseidon's Trident and passing through the tunnel behind the statue, there are four Nyad daughters you can find while swimming underwater. Note: Some of them are hidden behind breakaway walls. Press Circle by any one of them to kiss them. Most of them will offer up a Magic Feather, while some may randomly leave you with nothing.

Hint: Sit on throne:
At the end of the game, press the Right Analog-stick Down to quickly sit down in the God of War's throne.

Hint: Move very fast:
Once you have the Blade Of Artemis, equip it then hold R1 and use the Right Analog-stick to move very fast.

Hint: Hidden cover:
Slip the cover sheet out of the game's case and look at the back to find alternate cover art.

Glitch: Guards still fighting Hyrda:
After you defeat the Hydra and take the rope back to the other boat with the trapped women, go to the location where you originally entered that boat. Walk the boards back and you can see the two guards fighting a Hydra head, after you killed the main head.

Glitch: Pandora's Temple: Unlimited experience:
During Atlas's Quest in Pandora's Temple, you will encounter a series of stone walls which you can climb. Several armored legionnaires will try to knock you off of the wall. Kill all of them and climb to the top of the tallest ledge. A glitch Harpy will begin to screech, and blood (experience) will start to shoot at you. It will last for as long as you stay in the area. This is a cheap way to raise your weapons and magic spells to the maximum. If you look close enough by one of the treasure chests, you will see what looks like a holographic Harpy flying in one spot.
SmashaOne.

Glitch: Blade of Artemis disappears:
When you have the blade out, go across a rope. When you jab you will use your old blades. When you get off, your old blades are shown in use. Just press L1 + R1.
DunkRabbit.

Glitch: Unable to continue Challenge of Atlas:
In the Challenge of Atlas, go to the room where there is a giant statue of Atlas before inserting Athena's handle. Go up to the switch and pull it three or four times. It will get stuck in the pulled position and you will not be able to go any further. Note: This must be done before the handle is obtained.
Neil Sen.

Glitch: Kill archers in one hit:
In the Hydra level when you meet the archers, go up to them and grab one at the end. Then, press Square. You will swing and the archers will be dead.
Reaper.

Glitch: Move through wall:
When you are in Hades at the end at the rotating wall with the spikes, while climbing up the wall, avoid the blades and onto the second section (which should be rotating clockwise). Stay in one location and let Kratos get caught between the rotator and the wall. He will be thrown through the wall into the lake below.

Glitch: Leave level boundary in Poseidon's Challenge:
Get underwater, just before you go through the mouth into that room with the revolving spikes and saws that closes in on you. [Screenshot] Just before the mouth, swim upwards. Keep swimming up to the roof. Once you reach the roof, keep trying to swim upwards. Swim left and right along the roof. Your character should slide up into a small spot on the roof. Once he does, swim to the right off the roof. Your character should go through the wall and leave the level boundary. [Screenshot] Once your character is outside the level, the camera angle is going to flip around. You will get a strange view of some saw blades and objects. When your camera does this, swim upwards and keep going up until your camera angle changes. Everything except Kratos should turn black. All you should see is Kratos, and hopefully a small white dot in front of him. [Screenshot] When you see that, swim towards it for about two seconds. Then move downwards and to the right and keep swimming. [Screenshot] You should see the outside of Poseidon's Domain when you are close enough. If you swim too far from it, it disappears. If you swim too close to it, the camera angle changes to the inside of the level while your character is still outside of it. If that happens, simply try to swim away from the wall for a moment and it should switch back. You can use this to get anywhere in the level. If you can find the correct area of the outside of the level, you can simply swim through the wall into the area you want to be in. If you get stuck or lost, simply restart at the checkpoint and you most likely will end up at the save point. From there, go back to the glitch location and repeat it.
