    How to unlock Titan Slayer

    Story Related Trophy. Cannot be Missed.

    Get ready for the seemingly impossible task of killing a Titan. Cronos is wandering around the Pit of Tartarus with Pandora's Temple still on his back. I'll give a strategy for the entire battle against Cronos, starting with when you first encounter him.

    At the very start, Cronos will have you in between two of his fingers, trying to crush you. Rapidly tap the button to break free of his grasp. Then charge up a blast from the Head of Helios to blind Cronos and send yourself flying in the air. As you fall back to the ground, you will have to do a QTE to land safely on Cronos' hand.

    When you land on his hand, a bunch of skeleton warriors will show up. Make quick work of them and head towards the bracelet on his wrist and hit it with some attacks. It will spin around, revealing a passage for you to take up his arm. Cronos will raise his arm, forcing you to climb up his arm vertically. You will come to a pustule-looking thing on his arm. Attack it a couple of times to burst it and level out his arm again. Run to the left and take care of the skeleton warriors that appear. Cronos will send a breath attack your way every so often, so make sure that you roll away to avoid it. When all of the skeletons are dead, Cronos will grip his arm with his fingers. When you regain control of Kratos, attack the fingernail that is on his arm. He will pull his hand back after a few seconds. More skeletons will appear so get to work on them. Cronos will also slam his arm with his other hand in an attempt to throw you off of him. While you're in the air, perform the QTE to stay on the Titan. He will bring his fingernail back at this point so hit it with some attacks until the appears allowing you to perform another QTE. This one allows you to pull off the broken fingernail in a very gruesome way.

    Get rid of any skeletons that are left and wait for him to raise his hand in the distance. He is about to slam it down on his arm, hopefully crushing you. Wait for the shadows to appear and move to an unshaded part. You'll be safe there. From there, you can climb up the side of his finger to where there will be a skeleton waiting for you. Kill the skeleton quickly and wait for Cronos to bring you in front of his face. Charge up another blast of sunlight with the Head of Helios and release it when you see Cronos' eyes are shining brightly. This will send you flying in the air again. On the way down, perform the QTE to grab on to Cronos' skin and save yourself from death.

    Make your way up his body, killing the skeletons in the way. Soon you'll come to a ledge where there will be a couple of stone statues that get up out of the alcove they were in and start to attack you. More skeletons will arive to make things a bit tougher. When everything is dead, interact with the glowing icon in the middle of the "wall". This will open it up, revealing an onyx stripe going up the body of Cronos. Attack the bottom of it with your blades to peel back the skin that is blocking it. When the skin is gone, a lot of skeletons will arrive on scene. In the middle of fighting them, Cronos will grab you and take you away from there. He'll hold his hand out and reveal you holding on to the palm of his hand. Continue to fight the skeletons until Cronos tries to crush you between his palms. You have to rapidly tap the button to force his palm off of you. After Kratos stabs the palm with the Sword of Olympus, Cronos will turn his hand upside-down. You must make your way to the right, while killing the skeletons that appear in your path. You will come to a couple of swing hooks, so make use of them until you land back on level ground.

    Now it's time to run! Cronos will start sweeping his arm in your direction, obliterating everything in its path. Run all the way to the right, ignoring the skeletons until you reach a metal platform with, you guessed it, more skeletons! Kill all of the initial skeletons and go to the right a bit. A cyclops skeleton will rip its way out of Cronos' shoulder. Use the same strategy you would for a regular cyclops. When you get on the back of the cyclops, attack the area of the shoulder that it ripped out of. Eventually, Cronos will react to the pain and you will start to slide off the Titan. Complete the QTE section while you fall off (killing the cyclops) until Cronos drops you down his throat.

    Make your way down the throat of Cronos, avoiding the blockades as you slide down. When you get to the bottom, the screen will cut outside to Cronos writhing in pain. Mash the button to force your way out of the belly of Cronos, holding the Omphalos Stone that you came for. Make your way back up to the onyx stone and destroy it using the Nemean Cestus. Perform two QTEs, bringing the remainder of the stone through the throat of Cronos. After a quick camera panning, destroy the rest of the stone and head up to Cronos' forehead. Eventually a big will appear over his head. Activate and perfor the QTE to kill the Titan Cronos.

    The trophy should unlock afterwards.
