Topic: God of War OT

Found the one remaining bug in the game... there's a legendary chest in Alfheim that I couldn't work out - turns out I wasn't being stupid, it was the game's physics that refused to work until reloading the game.

Welp, now I only have this left for the platinum and 100% completion.
I'm pretty sure I can do it without lowering the difficulty... eventually...

@Voltan good luck dude, she’s a doozy!

@colonelkilgore I got her down below 20% health last night so it seems doable... probably going to take 50-ish more tries though

The ***** exploding plants man, ffs. Even when I went back to that realm at the end, I still kept running into them constantly 😂

Just 5 trophies away from the platinum now, been taking my time and enjoying every minute of this amazing game. I need 2 artefacts and then all that remains are epic fights and I believe the other trophy I need will be tied to one of those (sword hilts)

@MightyDemon82 some fights are required but not sufficient for the "relics and hilts" trophy - there are also relics found elsewhere, including some just lying around

btw, I got 100% on all realms and the platinum already but I might still go back and explore some, as I heard there are some extra interactions unlocked after beating one of the post-game quests and I might want to see those

Searching for over 10 minutes on Google and YouTube have proved to be absolutely useless, so I figured I'd ask here. I'll put it in spoilers just to be safe... I'm trying to do the Lunda side quest The Mysterious Orb, but I can't figure out how to get out of Freya's Camp to even start the quest to find the armor pieces and the orb. Any walkthrough videos just show you already out of her camp looking for pieces of it. Any help?

@KilloWertz have you tried the closed brown gate?

I've put in over 40 odd hours now and still feel like I've barely touched the surface of this game. Just wondered into another huge area and started exploring that and it looks pretty interesting so far. I'm shooting for the platinum but it's going to take me some time to get there.

@Voltan I've seen a few of those and it's great.
Congrats on the platinum. Might get mine this weekend!

@jdv95 Unless I'm completely brain farting, I have no idea how to open it if you mean the large gate that is right passed the "door" to go back home. It can't be that I don't have whatever you need to open it as it's a side quest before you go back home again.

Edit: Unless you mean the Pilgrim Gate, which I can't even get to since I can't get out of the camp to get to a boat.

@KilloWertz i remember doing that quest after the main mission by just exploring the inner island. I went back to camp afterwards

Maybe you can use fast travel to travel to a place beyond the gate? if not then you can go back later after a story mission where you unlock something new. You,ll see what i mean when you get it.

@jdv95 Thanks for the suggestions, but I was having trouble because I was ignoring a "door" that let me progress outside of the camp. Seemed logical to think if I opened that it would be to go back home since it had the yellow main quest icon, but I actually had to open that to even progress to the side quests. A bit puzzling design, but I'd say it only wasted 20-30 minutes (still was pretty frustrating though).

@KilloWertz goed to see you made it trough !

@KilloWertz Did you manage to complete the Orb? Great wee sidequest!

@jdv95 Thanks. I would call it a rare case of poor design, but oh well since it's now over and done with. Back to loving the game...

@MightyDemon82 Not yet. During the week, I have to play in 40-60 minute spurts around work, so it can take me a little while to do some things. I have a lot more time on the weekends, so I should complete it then. Since you get at least 3 quests roughly at the same time, I ended up getting a bit sidetracked, but I got one piece of the armor so far and I'm en route.

@KilloWertz Enjoying it more than 2018 GoW so far?

@Th3solution A lot more, especially since Atreus is actually likable in this game and not a whiny brat.

At least at the point I am now, it probably would have been my GOTY if it didn't come out in the same year as Horizon Forbidden West.

Finally got the platinum and 100% the game. Loved it although I was getting fed up hearing the same exchange about bring tired whilst finishing looking for my last few lore and artefacts. Still a 10/10 game though. Top stuff even if a certain 2 fights were beginning to drive me nuts. Got there in the end though!
