BishopFrost Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Can anyone give me some advise on what to do to get her down, I can't seem to evade her attacks for the life of me. I honestly at this point found Zeus easier on chaos mode than this boss on hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dear Mr. Ouija Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Don't evade, parry. Her first form is easily the hardest. Parry when she rushes you, dodge her rock throw, which isn't all that difficult, you don't even have to roll. Then spam R1 + Square. After 6 or so hits she'll throw the rock at you, doge again and continue spamming R1 + Square until your magic bar is depleted. Then continue the strategy except, instead of spamming R1 + Square after the rock throw, attack with Blades or a charged punch, whichever method you prefer. Also be sure not to get too close to her while attacking or she'll double punch. After the bar is about halfway down you'll get a checkpoint then have to do some QTE. After that it's pretty much a piece of cake. That was my method at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youyouhe Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Just finished the fight in hard. For me , The attack where she lunged at you with green glowing claws , parrying it instead of dodging is ALOT easier and safer. The rocks , roll left/right and straight after try slashing her with hitx2 or 3 .. lastly , just make sure u stay as far from her as possible .. slash her from as far as your blades will allow. Really easy after u figure out her pattern..And before that i thought she was harder than zeus on chaos as well haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEHHHHHH Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 This game needed a skip cutscene prompt for this fight alone lol smh lol Tell me about it. I had to restart the fight 3-4 times on Normal difficulty, and I am not looking forward to Hard mode. I got the strategy down to the wire though.

Dragonslayer023 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I had a much easier time with this fight once I decided to play it really slow and safe. Basically when she charges at you double jump over it, then hit her from afar a few times with square. Roll when she throws the rock. Rinse and repeat for a long but easy fight.

skot071907 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Its fights like these that make me regret playing on hard. I don't mind a challenge but this is just frustrating. And the fact you have to watch that cut scene every single time is just rediculous. Arent we past that yet in games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeinps3 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 After many attempts, I worked to use the fists of Zeus and stay near it, and be very attentive when he attacks, block it twice and then attack with their fists and repeat, careful when throwing the stone as well. When she have half of life, there is a checkpoint and the following is MUCH easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blades of Chaos are pretty much crap against her, as they're too slow and deals very little damage. Use the Gaunlets if you aren't already. Â It took me like 20 times before I figured out her pattern. Using a combination of parrying, magic spam, and the gloves eventually gave me a victory.

claytonhorning Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Stand there. Her fists glow green and she's about to charge you. You need to perform a "parry" block (perfect timing), then hit square for a mini-cyclone of chaos. You need to stay right on her ass by either not moving and letting her push you around or move right on her. By doing this, she will ONLY attack you with the easily blockable "green fists" attack again & again. You need to perform this about 80 times or something in order to get her down enough health so that the next part of the battle will happen, which is mash L+R until they disappear, then the context sensitive Atlas part, then she plays a little game of "catch" with Kratos as you wander in circles around the room. At first you will have to only reflect (parry) one green ball, but then that number goes up to 2, 3, then 4. Once she's hanging off the pillar, double-jump and give her the ol' salami...errr... cyclone of chaos 3 times. After that, it's back to playing catch with her, and NOT doing it on the glowing sun spot on the floor. When she's lying on the floor with barely any life left and a cloud of black & green gas around her, finally step on the golden sun spot, and hold L while you spam circle for a couple seconds until the red "O" marker in the bottom-left of the screen disappears. After that, there's only one final context-sensitive sequence left. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skot071907 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 After finally beating her I don't get why I had so much trouble lol. It really isn't difficult you just have to take your time. Â I think my biggest gripe is that you only get a bronze trophy for beating her. Shouldn't the last boss of the game get you a silver at least? They gave a silver for dieing three times and having to watch that cut scene (cool story bro.) That doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figma Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Im stuck on this and so far i just cant see how people are voting this game as 3/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEHHHHHH Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Im stuck on this and so far i just cant see how people are voting this game as 3/10 It comes down to the atttack pattern of Persephone. I died 4-5 times during this fight, but on my fifth one, I nailed it without even taking any damage. It might be a good idea to check out youtube, where people are doing "No Damage" playthroughs.

King of Universe Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 For the first part, I found it easiest to double jump, and use the Tartarus Rage (http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/L_1.png + http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Triangle18x18.png). I actually got a combo of 120, and didn't get hit It's pretty powerful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vo1cl Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 she telegraphs her rock throw quite well. she jumps backwards before doing this so you can see it coming. and she throws the rock where you were before she jumps backwards. So when you see her jump back move two steps to the side and she wont hit you. use the gauntlets of zeus, and save your magic for the second half of the fight which is much much easier (provided you're somewhat decent and reflecting ranged attacks back). and as people said, parry her first attack where she glows green. If you successfully do this she almost always jumps backwards and throws the rock. I found this fight damn hard the first attempt or two, but once i noticed she telegraphs the rock throw i made it through without getting hit.

Startyde Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Two things. 1. You can skip all cutscenes by pressing square and X.  2. If you get close, press square square with Gauntlet of Zeus and then jump back when she tries to hit you trice, rince and repeat, she will never hit you and fight is easy as pie. As others said, if she swoops in, just double jump, or throw a rock, just walk casually away from it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumMercury Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Got it on my second try on hard on my first playthrough. I just spammed Zeus Fists and immediately after used Efreet (it makes you invincible) and since after 2-3 Zeus fists hits she would attack me the Efreet would usually get in a fair amount of damage and negate her punches and the rock throw.

JAK-KRIEG Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Once you get the timing right dodging her rock throws and parrying her attacks it's not that dificult though it did take some practice I wound up parrying and just hitting her with a couple of punches with the gauntlet, anymore that that and you gotta have super quick reflexes to parry up close to her, so hit fast and dodge.
