The Official "God of War 1 & 2" Speed Run Thread

[Groo The Perverted]

Okay, let's see how this goes. I'm going on my first speed run through God of War 1 right now. I've gotten just about all the trophies except for the Speed Run, the 200 hit combo, the challenges one and the platinum.

So I don't have to try to max anything, I'm just going to go through this as quick as possible.

Post your best speed run times through both the games.

I'll post my progress in this post as I progress through the Speed run.

GOD OF WAR 1: Speed Run

I'm at the part where I just see Ares for the first time, coming up those steps and my time is 32 minutes even.

1. If you can, post up a screenshot of your final time in the Olympus Room.

2. Any tips or tricks you know of where someone can perhaps shave some seconds/minutes off their time, post them up.

Let's see who's the fastest on Blu-Ray.com
