Here is the hardest Trophy in the game to get. Unlike God of War, you don’t have to do all 7 Challenges in a single sitting. It is advised that you power up and use the Blade of Olympus for these Challenges, as well as all weapons. The best way to illustrate how to do these Challenges is through youtube videos of random strangers destroying them.
Challenge #1
Rip out the eye of the Cyclops before time runs out
I did this by using Chronos’ Rage 3-4 times then using the Blade of Olympus once or twice for the mini-game to pop up. I personally did it in 17 seconds.
Challenge #2
Kill at least 10 enemies in the air before time runs out
I recommend using the Athena Blades here so you can hold
to vault them into the air, then use that time to kill them before they hit the ground.
Challenge #3
Stone Shatter at least 25 enemies before time runs out
I recommend trying to grab a Medusa because it will immediately attack you. Then you just have to press
and whatever button pops up on screen quickly. That way all or most enemies on screen will be in stone, ready for an easy kill which counts towards your total here. Make sure that when you get to 25, you survive until the end of the round. Otherwise you'll have to start over.
Challenge #4
Defend the Translator from being killed. The translator’s health with drain outside of the ring.
This one will cause the most trouble for most people. Save your Rage of the Titans for the end to protect from the onslaught of Satyr’s and Cyclops. You also have to drag the Translator around to prevent him from dying. Make sure you slow down time then carry him to the next circle.
Challenge #5
Collect 500 Red Orbs.
This is really simple. Stone Shatter the harpies and just take down the other enemies. You should have this in no time.
Challenge #6
Kill all the enemies before your Health runs out
This one is a little difficult, but nothing too daunting. Remember that on the Minotaurs by initiating the mini-game you will gain health back by doing each one successfully and using Rage of the Titans stops your health from draining.
Gold Trophies The End Begins- Beat the Game on any Difficulty
You simply get this Trophy for beating the game.
Feel the Urn- Collect and use at least 2 Urns of Power
You can get 4 Urns of Power in any of your playthroughs, as well as an additional 2 by completing Challenge of the Titans. In order to get this Trophy, you need to start a second playthrough (aka Bonus Play). You can skip cutscenes to when you gain control of Kratos. Then go to the menu and press
or
until you see where your Urns of Power are. Simply enable 2 of them and the Trophy is yours.
The Urns can be quite tricky to find without prior knowledge, so here is a video guide from
soynegroyque13 which details their locations:
YouTubeFurthermore, thanks to the work of
ICPosse8, who has provided written locations of all 6 Urns:
Secret Urn Location Guide[Urn #1] Urn of Gaia
(Red orbs give 10x normal amount) - The first urn is located shortly after beginning the game in the Rhodes Palace. When you get to the section where you have to move the concrete block, with a breakable golden eagle on top, kick the block through the door and then continue to drag it to your right and then forward. The camera will pan back and you will be able to see 3 chests on top of a ledge. Break the golden eagle, allowing you to jump on top of the block, and grab the urn.
[Urn #2] Urn of the Gorgons
(Weapons turn enemies to stone on contact) – After you have retrieved the Golden Fleece back track to the door with the Gorgon head. The one that shoots the gorgon gaze at you. Ignore this door for now and go to the left; where you went originally. Once you get to the Ruins of the Forgotten go to where you tipped over that stone gazebo type building. Go through the door again and begin to backtrack through this section once more. When you get past the huge gears in the bloody river continue along the path and use the time stop ability to cross the spinning gear one more time. Once you get to the conveyor belt with the gorgon heads flashing go to the 2nd set and use the Fleece to repel the flash. This breaks a hole in the wall revealing the urn.
[Urn #3] Urn of Olympus
(Grants Infinite Magic) – In the area where you earn the Spear of Destiny there will be a Fates statue that you are able to drag around. Grab it and push it down the ramp of the hallway you just came from and then to the pool of water you crossed earlier. Go across the pool and activate the amulet, then run around to where the floor switch was guarding the chests beyond. Step on the switch and run through the door and the urn is yours.
[Urn #4] Urn of Prometheus
(Infinite Rage of the Titans) – When you are climbing Atlas there will be a point where you have to climb across the ceiling. Look for a large stalactite hanging from the ceiling. Break it and it will reveal a hole you can climb up. Urn is in here.
[Urn #5] Urn of the Fates
(Extends Combo Meter time) – Achieve an overall ranking of Mortal or above on the Challenge of the Titans.
[Urn #6] Urn of Poseidon
(Replaces Chronos Rage with Poseidon’s Rage) – Achieve an overall ranking of Spartan or above on the Challenge of the Titans.

Defeat all the enemies without being hit
This one gave me some trouble, so I basically ending up doing it by just spamming Chronos’ Rage. The best solution is to save the Titan Minotaur for last.
SinRG's Strategy:
- Switch to the Blade of Olympus
- Use
on the skeletons and when the button prompt occurs, press
- Once all skeletons have been defeated, new monsters will start to spawn
- Wait until the spawn animation is almost done, then run behind the Titan Minotaur and active Chronos' Rage (this should damage the Titan Minotaur and kill most of the spawned enemies)
- Quickly jump out before the Titan Minotaur begins his spin attack, and then just spam Chronos' Rage from a safe distance (this should defeat all remaining spawned monsters and the Titan Minotaur)
