God of War 3 Challenge of Exile Switch Blade
Ойындар
Available on the God of War 3 Ultimate Edition and through PSN are an additional 7 challenges. Switch Blade requires you to defeat all enemies within 120 seconds with your weapons switching every 30 seconds.
For a more comprehensive guide to these challenges see grandmort's faq on gamefaqs - www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/f...
By far the hardest challenge IMO, requiring a good amount of skill and luck. The first wave are Legionnaires, second come Cerebus hounds, 5 minotaurs appear at the first weapon change and Legionnaire Guardians at the last stage. Your weapons in the order of switching are Blades of Exile, Nemesis Whip, Claws of Hades and Cestus Gauntlets.
In the first phase I found weakening the enemies using the Spirit of Hercules to be a good way of eliminating the Legionnaires. The main issue in this phase is the attacks by the Legionnaires can sometimes interrupt your combos losing you precious seconds. Avoid or block these attacks if you can, if you can kill 12 or 13 before the weapon switch you're in good form.
After 30 seconds you'll switch to the Nemesis whip and the minotaurs will appear, I tried to draw the Legionnaires to where the minontaurs spawn, so you can get some free hits whilst they're coming out of the ground. By this point the arena's getting pretty busy, and using L1 + Square is a good way to get some hits on the minotaurs and give yourself a bit of a breather . Note you don't need to mash the square button, holding it will suffice to keep your attacks going in the air. Hopefully you'll have eliminated a number of cerebus hounds as their grab attack is quite time consuming (unless a number of hounds have piled on you, then the QTE to free yourself is quite helpful to stun the surrounding enemies).
Inflict as much damage as you can on those minotaurs with the whip as they're likely to be your biggest issue to completing the challenge. Once you switch to the Claws it's much harder IMO to damage them, as they have a tendency to block a lot of your attacks and your attacks are also a lot slower.
Use L1 + triangle if you're surrounded by hounds to avoid getting piled on. Best way to damage the minotaurs now are hit and run attacks. Parrying the minotaur's overhead swings (note these overhead swings can't seemed be blocked only parried) is very effective as well. By now the Legionnaire Guardians have started to spawn, you can't do anything to them with the claws so avoid/ignore them.
When you switch to the Cestus things are looking up again. Use your heavy attacks as much as possible to inflict maximum damage in what little time you have. From here on in it's a case of pounding all the enemies with your heavy attacks, hopefully you'll weakened the minotaurs so they won't need too much time to defeat them leaving you just the Legionnaire Guardians to take of.

finished all the challenges in like 90 minutes but damn this one is really hard it took 20~30 minutes on its own 😂
damn this stage. i lost so many times ..i wanted to eat my controller.
Aye! This is so damn hard! I always get so close beating this challenge! Those damn minotaurs and hellhound mongrels!
Just beat it took hours wow my thumb is cramping. I've done a lot of the gow challenges 1 2 and the Hades kids 2
DAMN! You finished with only a second or 2 to spare! You've got skills man.
Finally got it.... it took me 81 trys...lmao And totally with 1 second on the clock
@MaliusD You need a bit of luck with regards to the jumping zombies at the beginning. It took me about 3 days on and off to beat this challenge and I only just barely did it. It maybe worth going after the minotaurs once you get the whip and try and ignore the other enemies as they don't require any where near as much effort to defeat. If you're still having difficulty have a look at grandmort's faq referenced in the description for more strategies/ideas.
@BlkApache I remember having to download a patch/content (something like 500kb), in order for it to recognised as the Ultimate edition as well, so it seems like it is on the disc but has to be unlocked.
@Ma55ih Do you have a save game near the end of the game? You may have to finish the game again for it to register properly.
@GTbreed Thanks. Completing this was sort of a collaboration between myself and grandmort, so some of the credit should go to him as well. Check out his Hades' Kids 2 video where he completes it with 40 seconds to spare.
@bystanderg I know, right. It's weird. Once I got all the trophies and downloaded the different skins from the redeem code on Ghost of Sparta....the game now says Ultimate Edition and allows the Exile Challenge option.
Very nice and with one second to spare
@bystanderg Knowing the level of difficulty in all of the challenges, it probably took a while and many tries before you got to your current skills, right? I know I've had plenty of problems with the challenges in the previous 2 games.
@bystanderg I was wondering if dog kicking does any good in this challenge, or does it just take up time?
@lMrEl I don't think you can change the difficulty of the challenges. It wasn't easy though and it certainly took me many tries to finish it.
@bystanderg I'm not sure if I had to do that. I remember having to download something for the skins and using the redeem code from the Ghost of Sparta but nothing ever came up for downloading when I beat it last year. Maybe mine was an isolated incident.
@Dan1loBr There's no sentence like that in my description, so I'm not sure where you're reading that?
@555fastkillz Within the last few months they've been made available on the PSN store.
@sargon80 Thanks, was getting very frustrated with this challenge and I just managed to scrape through!
@herofromthedark That's true. In a way it also acts as a record for me completing this challenge as well, given there's no trophy for it.
@000oooo00000000o0 The challenges are now available to buy on PSN I believe.
@BlkApache That sounds strange. It unlocked for me after I completed the game once. Unlocking it seems to be slightly buggy if you've bought it as DLC.
@BlkApache Hmm, it does seem that accessing the Exile challenges does seem to be buggy judging from people's comments.
@herofromthedark That's pretty much it. I'd say this one took as many tries as Challenge 10 from the first GoW for me.
@Ma55ih Can you see the Challenges of Olympus?
@NEMESIS1191 IMO these are tougher than the Challenges of Olympus. Especially this one, took me many hours to try to complete it.
@herofromthedark This was the last challenge I needed to complete, so I did feel like wanting to break my controller on several occasions when I kept coming so close to completing it.
I've beaten GOW III twice already and the only Challenge unlocked was Challenge Of Olympus. Once I got 100% trophies and got the other Kratos and Deimos skins downloaded, I noticed that the Challenge of Exile was unlocked.
@bystanderg :D I know how that feels! But you finished it, and you're helping others to finish it too, right? Thats gotta count for something.
@24blaze2424 It's the Nemesis Whip
@bystanderg Actually, I bought the game last year on a disc....wasn't downloaded. Interesting that depending o nhow you purchase it determines that. I only got Challenge of Olympus options when I beat it last year. Maybe it had something to do with unlocking all the trophies a couple of weeks ago. Not sure yet.
@bystanderg then i can ask you. i bought challenge of the exile and all the costumes, and non of it showed up in the game. tried to redownload it 3 times. can you please help me?
@bystanderg yes, i have completed them all if that has anything to do with it :)
@Ma55ih I think you need to beat the game first before either of those show up man but good luck and happy gaming
my fav weapons are the lion fists(4 got name...think its ceatus or sumn ) my 2nd fave is either bow or the final swords u get
@herofromthedark I would have thought it takes too much time IMO.
Does this come free with god of war saga?
@herofromthedark It was close for sure, I don't how many times I tried to complete this challenge.
this challenge and chaos mode are the only things i have left to beat on this game, but that stupid scorpion is causin some problems and if they let you have the blades of exile for half the challenge and the cestus for the other half then id be alright but noooooooooooo
@dzakerboy333 maybe you haven't download it, go to your download content on the ps store and download it if you haven't.
@bystanderg Ah yes... the elevator... I just recently got the GoW collection (so I could have it on my PS3) but when I played that again... urgh... It felt like I was banging my head against the wall. Did you feel like that during this video? :3
@bystanderg not in your description, the GAME has it! LOOK! xD it's funny
@pkrishnametal Thanks, it was the last challenge I completed. I think I must have done it as many times as challenge 10 from GoW.
@RandomGai0810 Nothing like cutting it close...
@bystanderg i'm gonna try it on easy so : / wanna find out fast :D
This fucking jancok challenge bro
@Ma55ih there is no difficulty level
Impossible to go over 42 enemies no matter how fast you roll and what combos you use with certain weapons. Took me 4 hours and nothing. and I know how to play.
Did they even test this fucking challenge before they released it? It's so broken in difficulty it makes Dark Souls look like child's play!
@bystanderg wow.. u barely made it .good work!
LOCO PERO NUNCA ME SALEEEEEEEEEE
@bystanderg oh yeah -.-' D'OH!
@dzakerboy333 =3 mmm sorry mate I can't think of anything else...
LOL!!! 1 second to spare
someone had 10 secs left
Switch Blade? they should have call it Switch Weapon....
engrish? "Your weapon will be switch every 30 seconds" xD?
As far as I can tell it is not included in the god of war saga.
I thought this shit was free
