Heavy Hitter Trophy in God of War: Chains of Olympus

    Execute a 1000-hit combo

    How to unlock Heavy Hitter

    This trophy isn't as difficult as it may sound. There are a few different ways and methods to go about getting a 1000-hit combo. If you're playing the game for the first time, then the first opportunity to get this trophy will be on the final confrontation against the Basilisk boss fight on the bridge. First, you'll want to push the Basilisk back until he climbs onto the castle and you'll see the button being prompted to be hit. Instead, ignore pressing the button and simply keep attacking the Basilisk's right claw (switch is your left). Keep spamming the Blades of Chaos normal attacks by repeatedly pressing the button for 8 hits each time added to your hit combo meter counter. If you've upgraded your Blades of Chaos weapon to level 2 by spending 2650 red orbs for the cost, you can spam the Cyclone of Chaos attack by pressing the + buttons for 10 hits instead of 8 hits each time. Keep spamming away until you've reached a 1000-hit combo. This method will take about 5-10 minutes to execute.

    Now, if you didn't do the above normal method way. Then you be glad to hear that there is an infinite magic method to get a 1000-hit combo. To do this infinite magic method, you'll first need to have completed the game once and have unlocked the "Spud of War" - the potato costume. Below is a quick reference on how to start a new game+ with an unlocked costume:
    • Select New Game
    • Select desired difficulty
    • Select YES when asked to carry over previous saved data
    • Select the Spud of War costume
    After starting your new game+ with the "Spud of War" costume. Simply make your way to the first Basilisk encounter and simply spam the Charon's Wrath magic by pressing the + buttons over and over again. Once again, ignore the prompted button and keep spamming away until you've reached a 1000-hit combo for your trophy to unlock. This method will take about 3-5 minutes to execute.

  • Why do almost all combat games have this stupid trophy? This is the FPS equivalent of getting X amount of kills with 1 grenade.
  • True :/
  • All games includes an easy way to do trophies like this, and I can say that pulling of a combo X1000 in this game is really easy too.:)
  • Ok OstKakan, how do you do it in this instance?
  • I haven't played the PSP games so I don't know the trick for this one, but in GOW3 you could use the claws of hades to get easy high hit counts. They had one soul attack that was weak and hit each enemy multiple times. All you needed was a big group of enemies.
  • you will have a magic that easy to get high combo just like the other god of war
  • You can do it in the arena. Set the health and magic to infinite and have the enemy as 6 hopite soldiers. Eqquip the Blades of Athena and let rip. JvK B)
  • there is no arena... anyone know where in the game can we get this? this is the only thing standig between me and the platinum...
  • there is a cheater method.. after you have beat the game the first time, play through it again wearing the potato suit.. that gives you unlimited magic. play until you get to charon for the first time. when you start to fight him, just keep hitting him with the fire ball things, over and over again. as long as you don't stop hitting him, you can keep raising your chain until you get to a thousand. If you stop, you will have to start over again... since you can't actually kill him the first time you fight him, you can just keep hitting him over and over again..
  • when you unlock the first costume (unlimited mana) just start a game on easy and just at the start when you meet the first basilisk head just use L1 and square and spam until the trophy pops ;) if you dont initiate the mini game on the head it will just regen hp fast and easy :) hope it helped
  • Just used Brovner's method and it worked flawlessly. But damn is my thumb tired LOL. There has to be a simpler way to do this. But its alright, now I just need to slit some more Sadyr throats and that platinum is mine.
  • I tried using the basilisk method, however I would get to around 600 and the stupid beast would pull his head out enough to stop my hit combo with the blades of choas. So instead what I did was used the Spud Kratos character that gives you infinite magic. I stood in front of the basilisk and held R1 and tapped circle repeatedly. This releases Charon's Wrath and the basilisk was not able to recover much at all and it was much quicker than hitting him with the blades of choas. Hope this helps out!!
  • The trick is also working when fighting the Persian King
  • I got this one by using the McKratos costume. Start the game using the McKratos costume and get to the very first Basilisk encounter. Attack the Basilisk. When you get the first mini-game prompt ignore it and keep attacking, do not start the mini-game. I spammed L1+Square (Cyclone of Chaos) until I hit 1000.
  • not the worst trophy but these combo trophies have gotten out of control
  • I got mine (several times over) when fighting the basilisk for the first time. (It's easier to fight the doorway rather than the claw and still get the hits.) It's worth noting that you stop getting orb bonuses after 900 hits, so going for 1000+ doesn't make much sense. However, if you go for the 900 hit bonuses both times you pin the basilisk above the bridge doorway, you can earn almost 3000 orbs in addition to the 600(-ish) you get for beating the basilisk. It's an easy (albeit slow) way to get a few extra orbs early in the game.
  • boring one
  • I just earned this trophy, tried all the methods shared here and found standagg's and Biggchief's suggestions to be the best for attempting it during a second playthrough. Stand just far enough away to send Charon's Wrath magic over and over again without triggering the mini-game. Charon's Wrath is R1 + Circle, so standing too close will trigger the mini-game. If the mini-game is accidentally triggered, just fail it, start again, and find a better distance. I did come close to the trophy by spamming L1+square or circle spin attacks, and L1+circle was much faster and doesn't trigger the mini-game btw, however , I would sometimes get knocked back far enough to cancel the combo and have to start all over again. Charon's Wrath is powerful enough to damage the Basilisk back into the
  • did this against the persian and did it against charon on psp
  • I kept hitting the basalisk with the fire balls (have to have spud of war costume on)
  • Cramps!
  • I understand there's an easy way to do this, I just got it. But do they really expect us to get it legit? Why would they even put a trophy like this in the game? It's like saying, "Hey, please exploit our game!" I also agree completely with the first comment.
  • Wicked easy. Just followed the guide's instructions for the final Basilisk fight and it popped in about 5 mins. spamming Cyclone of Chaos.
