The God Of War armor is broken overpowered and you are only hindering yourself by not using it.

We, playstation users, have an added boss fight added to this game about halfway through it. After unlocking the last half ot the map, you will be able to access a location called Hall of Champions. After paying the fee and possibly destroying all ghosts, from the entrance, go up and then all the way right. Destroy the wall and you will find a secret room with a scroll. At the last right tile, use a downward attack to open another secret and get the Omega Map (not the right name). Now leave the map through the entrance and Kratos will spawn. Beat his ass and trade the Grave Digger Shovel in the armory's Armorer to forge the God Of War Armor (also not the right name).

 

By using this armor, you lose access to all the shovel upgrades, but who cares? Your combo turns into 3 horizontal slashes with greater radius than your shovel and also much greater DPS, since you can hit 3+ times without barely moving. It's insane how fast bosses will die while using this and the best is: it doesn't lock any trophies.

 

Yes, that's right. You can activate EZPZ mode and it won't stop you from earning any trophies, so why shouldn't you use it? Apart from speedrun, this should be a no brainer. By not using it, you will only make your own life harder for absolutely no good reason. The only possible exception would be doing the speedrun trophy, as it will probably cost you more time to unlock it again than to actually beat the game without it.

 

Just kinda sad it made it harder on myself by not acquiring that armor until NG+ because I insisted in completing the first playthrough with no purchases, even knowing that I would naturally earn that on NG+ as long as I already had every upgraded.

 

Just gonna do a reminder here that if you are one of those people "i DiD It ThE hArD wAy I aM a BeTtEr GaMeR", no one cares. Your trophy is as valuable as mine and you have only wasted more time toward the same goal. It's like playing a game on the hardest avaiable difficulty when you don't get any trophies for it, a waste of time and energy.

This is spectacular news, thanks for the tip @TheYuriG! I just picked up this gem of a game and am digging it so far. I'm with you tho, if it's something the developers added in and is not technically cheating, then why the hell not utilize it!

That’s 100% subjective, and it’s also a very bizarrely specific situation to reference. Also, do you not see the irony in going out of your way to tell people you don’t care over something that hasn’t happened in the thread yet?

 

They’re trophies man, games don’t exist solely for them. You need to chill out a little bit and not use them as an ego booster. If people want to do things a certain way, why detriment their experience to talk about how you made a virtual achievement easier to get?

 

I’ll absolutely never understand people that get this into trophies.

You got the point entirely backwards. It's just a trophy, it doesn't matter if you did it the hard way or the easy way, it's just a trophy. It's not like beating the game or doing all upgrades is difficult regardless, the only 'hard' part of the plat is the speedrun and it's not advisable to use the armor for that because it wastes time and it's only avaiable near the end.

 

EDIT: just noticed you have 11 posts, so unless you are an alt of someone else, you probably don't know these forums and how often this kind of behaviour is.

No, I'm not hindering myself. I'm just playing the game the way it's meant to be played. You do you, but the game is still very fair and fun without it (probably more so)
