Tips & Tricks for God of War's Hardest Difficulty

Notoriously challenging, God of War's "Give me God of War" difficulty is a herculean task to complete and no small feat to flaunt to all of your friends; the actual problem is finishing said achievement before you can flaunt it. Once you select the difficulty, the game gives you a clear warning: You will not be able to change it henceforth. So picking up the challenge means that once you start, there is no turning back halfway into the game if you get stuck. Or, in my case, near the ending.

Truth is, I completed God of War on the hardest difficulty on my first playthrough strictly because I was determined, headstrong, and honestly, I had spent far too long playing it to give up near the end. I was going to see it through even if it meant spending several dozen hours fighting the same bosses over and over... and over. And fight I did, learning tons of things in my path before I finally reached that beautiful ending screen. So, what did I learn?

#1 - You're going to need patience

Before even launching the game, you'll want to ensure that you have the patience to do this to make sure that your monitor and control pad/ mouse & keyboard survive your journey. This challenge will involve getting one-shot, and they'll come at you multiple times throughout the early game. And — unlike Kratos - rage will not be useful in your run. The angrier you get, the more mistakes you'll make, thus the angrier you'll get... This, of course, leads me to:

#2 - It's hardest at the start
