SirkSirk Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) This is just a simple guide for people going for "Speed of Jason McDonald". I thought it would be a good idea for me to make this because I haven't played the game in a very long time so I couldn't remember most of the puzzles. As said in the trophy guide, reload checkpoints if you take too long. And by too long, that means at least 2-3x longer than it would normally take you if you knew what you were doing, don't sweat shaving off 20 seconds, it's not that tough I did this on Easy using the Dairy Bastard costume skipping enemies and chests. I didn't use any glitches or skips other than the unlimited orb glitch. If you are very far behind and do not want to start over, I would check out the Skips and Tricks thread to buy you some(or a lot) of time located here http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/god-war-collection-god-war/37024-skips-tricks.html Now... I tried to get every save point time I could, but I would get too excited and save over. Most of these are 10 minutes or less apart so don't sweat it ^.^ Docks of Athens - 0:16:29 Fortress of Athens - 0:22:32 Athens Battleground - 0:29:59 Athens Town Square - 0:37:06 Tunnel Passage - 0:37:47 Treasure Room - 0:40:48 Return to Town Square - 0:48:39 Temple of the Oracle - 0:49:37 The Path to the Oracle - 0:52:35 Suicide Bluff - 0:55:51 Athens Battleground - 0:57:58 Temple of the Crytal Eye - 1:14:52 Challenge of Atlas - 1:17:53 The Path to Atlas - 1:26:56 Infinite Orb Glitch - 10-15 Minutes The Cliffs of Atlas - 1:43:15 Temple of the Crystal Eye - 1:48:04 Poseidon's Challenge - 1:51:58 Poseidon's Sacrifice - 1:57:18 Poseidon's Chamber - 2:01:05 Flooded Passage - 2:08:05 Ampthitrite's Temple - 2:09:09 Temple of the Crystal Eye - 2:12:48 The Hall of Hades - 2:15:21 The Chamber of Hades - 2:22:26 Blades of Hades - 2:28:19 Minotaur's Nest - 2:35:49 The Cliffs of Madness - 2:41:57 The Bluffs of Madness - 2:42:56 The Traps of Madness - 2:58:19 The Architect's Tomb - 3:04:12 Zeus Mountain - 3:13:07 The Path of Hades - 3:17:03 Styx Below - 3:18:30 Oracle's Temple(Destroyed) - 3:23:54 Olympus - 3:31:10 I also spent time doing the infinite orb glitch because I didn't have that trophy. If you also need it on this run, you should get enough to the point you can upgrade everything and have 10,000 left over. By the time you get Army of Hades, you should have enough to upgrade it to max. It's 15,000(or 14,500) total from level 1 to 3. I hope this helps! Good luck(if anyone still plays this game! =p) Edited April 27, 2011 by SirkSirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadsea17 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Do it on easy,and skip a bunch of fights also beat The Challenge of the gods before this trophie and use the Dairy Bastard costume for unlimited magic,this costume takes bosses out fast. I beat my playthrough in about 2 hrs 58 minutes ? (I know not over 3 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killivalavan Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Doing my speed run with Dairy Bastard. Started off quite slow. At the challenge of atlas (before the harpy glitch) and 20 mins behind the break up shown. hope to complete in < 4hrs as I already have the 'seeing red' trophy. lets see... thanks for the break up, though!

Lara Soft Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 not looking forward to doing this. currently on my first playthrough trying to get the other trophies first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe111eleven111 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 not looking forward to doing this. currently on my first playthrough trying to get the other trophies first. Don't worry, it's a very easy trophy on the second playthrough. Just use Dairy Bastard on Easy and 3.5-4 hours is almost effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Soft Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 for some reason it took me forever to beat Ares on easy mode... wtf? either way i got the trophy and platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA2 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I managed to do this in 3:27. I admit I honestly could have shaved off 10 minutes or so as at a few parts I had forgotten what I had to do and backtracked a little. I still don't know how its possible to make it to Pandora's bridge in 1 hour 3 minutes though. Edited October 30, 2011 by SA2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how its possible to make it to Pandora's bridge in 1 hour 3 minutes though. By using a shit ton of skips I beat the full game in 1:58, so I probably got to Pandora's bridge around... 45 minutes? Maybe earlier, I don't quite remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANGSTRY101 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Oh yea the Dairy Bastard is definitively a must, I beat it in 3hrs 28mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The speedrun was extremely easy. Just don't waste a lot of time on stupid things, and wear the diary bastard! I recommend upgrading first Poseidon's and then chaos blade, then Hades'! I did it in 3:15, and I seriously wasted a lot of time taking stuff I absolutely did not need, upgrading everything complete! You don't actually need to upgrade your health. I never lost so much health that it would be needed, but I guess upgrading once can't hurt! You will gain a lot of health and red orbs from using magic attacks, since they do heavy hit combos. So just don't take any of that stuff, and you should be able to do it in 2 hours! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-IRVINE-94 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I just finished this in around 4 hours . I haven't played it in a year or so and I forgot some of the puzzles but I still managed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalas Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Well guys, I just finished the challenge of atlas and I'm at 1:26 (I think) wearing the dairy bastard costume. Will I manage to do it or I have to go faster????????:confused: Speed of Jason McDonald is the last trophy remaining for the platinum of God of War 1 and I just want to know.

Metalas Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Allright guys I made it at 2 hours and 43 minutes ONLY !!!!!:D:D It was really easy and of course dairy bastard is a MUST!!!!!USE IT!!!!! That's because it has unlimited magic and double red orbs!! Well, most people are anxious about if they are going to do it in under 5 hours and I was too, but when I finished the game at this really good time in my opinion I said: WTF!!!! It was really easy, why was I so anxious? Just upgrade first of all your Poseidon's Rage and last the Army of Hades and Blades of Chaos. Of course fight only when you have to and you'll have a precious gold trophy and why not platnum if it's the last. I have now the platinum of God of War and heading for God of War II platinum!!!!!:D:D Edited July 12, 2011 by Metalas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfree7 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just finished Speed Run in 4:23. Get fired up! It was not as hard as I thought. Should have read the skips on this thread first though. Could have done it faster I assume. Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet uk Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 am i the only one who used the aries armour? i did it in 3 hours with that. they should have forced the player to do it without the additional suits, there's just no challenge with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughdawg4 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 am i the only one who used the aries armour? i did it in 3 hours with that. they should have forced the player to do it without the additional suits, there's just no challenge with them Exactly. Look I hate speed runs as much as the next person. I much rather 100% a game then speed through it, drives me bananas. But this speed run trophy is a complete joke. I got every trophy, including the speed run trophy, in my only playthrough of the game. So I finished under 5 hours while getting every other trophy and collectible. If I can do all that under 5 hours, anybody can beat it under 5 hours with or without a costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelusbane Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Brilliant, thank you. I am at the treasure room at 45 minutes so this is handy to know. Big thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo-tje Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I'm doing it without costume and skips. I do skip fights though. Currently at Treasure Room in 0:48:00. Currently at The checkpoint after the desert in 1:14:00. Edited September 8, 2011 by Jo-tje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adonai- Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Just got to Hades and am a shade under 3 hours. Going by the above, should be all done in 15-20 minutes. Fairly easy plat for a game which was gruelling in Titan mode on the PS2 *edit* done, about 3 hours 20 minutes. Most aggravating part was climbing the rotating knife parts in Hades Edited September 12, 2011 by Adonai- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
