Perseus goal was to bring back his love to life from the underworld. Instead, Kratos kills him. Now Perseus can be reunited with his love in Hades. In other words, Kratos is a true gentleman.
I love how kratos casually breaks each and every item perseus has. Its also worth mentioning that they were supposed to be unbreakable because they were gifts from zeus, athena, and hermes.
I'd love to get Perseus' thoughts in this "Wh- what? He broke my helmet!! Thats impossible! But it probably only was very bent, I still have my sword and shield" *Kratos destroys his sword....BARE HANDED* "Damn i'm boned haha hope my girl has space in Hades"
Has shield. Proceeds to block everything with his sword. Door is "only way out". Ignores huge gaps in pillars behind him Great hero of Mycenae everyone!
And he gets angry at Kratos for letting the door shut behind him, when it was shut anyway before Kratos showed up, so it's not like Kratos made his situation any worse.
I mean even if he could pass trough the pillars gaps he's still standing pretty far from the ground. The place where him and Kratos are is pretty high up he could probably die from the fall.
@@godzillavkk He can sympathize with a man who was clearly shafted by the Gods. Don't forget, Kratos was straight up about to off himself at the end of the first game because the Gods scammed him with the wording of his reward for defeating Ares.
@@w47765 It's a pity that Kratos isn't very good at reasoning with people. It'd love more games where you can resolve issues without fighting. Hell, I'd even be on board with video games where you save the world from invasions from hell by making friends with demons at a tea party.

I’ve always loved how this is one of the few boss fights in the series in which Kratos’ opponent is clearly the underdog, and yet Perseus tries every trick he has to overcome him. Even though it’s borne of arrogance, there’s something oddly admirable about Perseus’ bravery to stand and fight when he’s clearly outmatched.
@@cheetoschrist5685 Well he can always use his first Thor movie as a reference. Remember Thor in the first movie, he was arrogant at that point. Plus Chris can always change his voice to make it fit for GOW Thor, example like Kevin Sorbo as Hercules in GOW3. Kevin's Hercules is way different than Hercules in GOW, even Kevin state it. So he change it a bit to make fit for the dark take on GOW Hercules.
1:01 Has Perseus been living under a rock or is he just stupid? By this time in the story, Kratos had already killed multiple legendary creatures, 4 demigods, 5 primordials, 2 Titans, and 3 gods.
This is probably the only time in this series where I can say you were more op than your opponent. Perseus just lacks the brute force and muscle to take Kratos on and once his cloaking ability was taken away then it was a solid L for perseus.
Don't forget the Icarus fight where he's just hopelessly falling while you beat his ass and he doesn't fight back before finally ripping off his wings so he falls to his death
Y'know, I was wondering why he sounded soooo uppity, that guy did it beautifully back in the day, it makes sense this rendition would be so good. Like he was the perfect amount of "full of himself" but also like, greek lofty gentleman. The perfect shmooze blend.
Think about it like this. Perseus was ONLY a trickster. He never really had to fight his way out of a situation. He killed Medusa while she slept, beat the sea monster and his would be step dad's warriors using her head.
For all of you wondering why he didn't just go through the pillars to escape, its cause the arena is too high where they are. He'd break his legs instantly or at worst fall to his death. Even after you beat him you have to use the chain to climb down. And about the chain, it was too high up so Perseus can't reach it or jump and grab it to lower himself.
In other words, Perseus death is completely on him. He could've worked together with this warrior that carries the tools that can help him escape, but instead he lets himself drown in delusions of glory. No wonder Kratos didn't even bother saying a single word, this dude was a lost cause.
@@juancosta7162 Time could pass differently where he is (or, specifically, maybe the Fates set up some time dilation effect in the areas where they trap people), for all we know. You know, he could have been in Hades for decades, then been on the Isle of Creation for hundreds of years.
I completed this game on Titan mode using the psvita. People say video games only rot your brain, but Kratos has taught me the true meaning of "where there's a will, there's a way" Along with other valuable messages besides vengeance, mutilation and anger.

Haha, I'm pretty sure shouting 'I'm Over Here!!' Defeats the purpose of being invisible... Let alone splashing around in a pool. More to that, seeing as they got Harry Hamlin to voice him it sure is disturbing to see Perseus descend into madness like that.
Vegetarian Soylent-Green Desperation can lead to destructive outcomes. In this case here we have Perseus so desperate to escape the bath house to save Andromeda that when a potential savior to his predicament came along, he thought it was a test to gain favor from the Fates. It's kinda like that Christian story about the man who prayed for God to save him in a Hurricane. God sent many emergency workers to save him, but he denied each one because he was so set on God saving him. But when he died and asked God, "Why didn't you save me when I prayed to you?" God simply said, "I sent many people to save you, but you denied each one from doing so"
Actually why are invisible people are like "well gotta fight fair", none of them are like "let's just wait until he is near a ledge or under a big piece of masonary and then I will give it a shove"
ATREUS: "How about another story?" KRATOS: "Fine... There once was a hero who fell in love with Andromeda, the princess of Aethiopa." ATREUS: "... I didn't take you for knowing any love stories." KRATOS: "I don't. Hm... She was a princess loved by her people, renowned for her kindness and beauty, and the pride of the king and queen. However, their pride grew bloated, and made them arrogant enough to boast of their daughter to the gods, saying that their daughter's beauty was even greater than that of Aphrodite, the godess of love and beauty." MIMIR: "Ooph!" ATREUS: "They didn't like that?" MIMIR: "Gods seldom like to compared with those they deem to be beneath them lad, even though their flaws make them as human as any resident of Midgard." KRATOS: "Who is telling the story, Head?" MIMIR: "Oh, right. Sorry for interrupting!" ATREUS: "I thought this story was about the hero, not the princess." KRATOS: "It is. After the princess had conemned to die by the jaws of a beast sent by the seagod Poseidon, the hero went of on a quest to find the one thing that could defeat the beast: the head of a Gorgon." ATREUS: "Gorgon?" KRATOS: "A woman turned into a hideous beast by the gods, whose sight can turn any mortal into stone. The hero searched for the reputed queen of the Gorgons, Medusa, in order to take her head and use it's gaze against the beast." ATREUS: "And turn it to stone... That's really clever! So did he?" KRATOS: "No. While he found the beast, he discovered only it's headless body, for it had already been slayed by... Someone else." ATREUS: "You mean he couldn't do anything, because someone else got there before him? So... What happened? Did he find some other way to save the princess?" KRATOS: "No. He didn't have enough time to find what he was looking for, so the princess was devoured." ATREUS: "... That is an awful story. I mean... It's so unfair." MIMIR: "Most stories about the Greek gods are unfair, lad. I believe that's where the term 'greek tragedy' comes from." KRATOS: "Hm." ATREUS: "What about the hero? What happened to him?"

That opening scene is pure theatre. Fantastically acted. He was the only person in the series I felt bad for killing just from that performance alone. So good they don't even let Kratos interrupt it. Harry Hamlin just fucking nailed it.
Always thought Kratos cinematic attacks on Perseus were particularly vicious (that stiff as fuck chokeslam, cracking his skull against the wall, drowning him etc, really dark stuff), it's as though Perseus beautiful appearance seems to bring about even more wrath from Kratos, and listen to that agonised gurgle when he becomes impaled on the hook. David Jaffe was clearly in a bad mood when coming up with this scene!
Reminds me of when Ed Norton's character beats up Jared Leto's character in Fight Club, and when asked why he did it, says "I wanted to destroy something beautiful."
Perseus could’ve just climbed through the back of the building. And he could wear that helmet and that way avoid confrontation. But no he had to fight the main character.
The pillars are high up, he would've broken his legs from the fall. Even when kratos has to get down himself, he has to use the chain that Perseus's body is weighing down. It was too high up before.
Perseus:"That door was my only escape!" *Kratos stares confused at the giant gaps between the columns behind Perseus* Kratos: Uhhh, actually... -Perseus: THE. ONLY. ESCAPE!
This was always one of my most favorite battle from this series. There was always something so satisfying about hooking Perseus at the end after whooping his ass
Weird that Perseus's shield still has the Head of Medusa on it. I mean in the mythology, he does kill Medusa, but in the GOW series, it's actually Kratos who kills her.
best gamer ***good old times(I now,it's just a youtube comment,not an english essay,but I think it could still be useful in case you didn't know that).
as shitty as Perseus' fighting style might be, you gotta admit that this battle has one hell of amazing score. the soundtrack still pops in my head from time to time after all these years! amazing work by the team.

Always thought Kratos cinematic attacks on Perseus were particularly vicious (that stiff as fuck chokeslam, cracking his skull against the wall, drowning him etc, really dark stuff), it's as though Perseus beautiful appearance seems to bring about even more wrath from Kratos, and listen to that agonised gurgle when he becomes impaled on the hook. David Jaffe was clearly in a bad mood when coming up with this scene!
Reminds me of when Ed Norton's character beats up Jared Leto's character in Fight Club, and when asked why he did it, says "I wanted to destroy something beautiful."
I think it is something like that, Kratos rage and hatred growing to consume everything around him, hideous and beautiful alike.
Not to mention getting stabbed through the chest and still fighting on.
"beautiful appearance"?
I like how kratos is just staring at him like “you really wanna do this bro?”
The soundtrack to this game, man...I'd forgotten how good it was...ahh yes, the nostalgia...it's really hitting me now...
Perseus: turns invisible
Also perseus: I'm right here *splish splash*
Kratos: I'm gonna pretend i didn't see that
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a single soul:
Perseus: I’m right here
Игра гудбара очень красивой мне нравится и я этого игру люблю
Игра Good War а Просто мечта Мне не нравится я играл который это уровень и это уровень очень интересный был было
"I am right here."
"Over here."
"No not there. Over here!"
"Wrong I am over here now!"
you cant's see me
my time is now
Well apparently not.
Muhammad Ridho one day, people will manage to mod this game, and replace this boi with john cena.
Hell awaits us.
RECOGNISE!

Perseus Chopped Medusa's head off correct?
Yes, he did.
Indeed.
Yes in the clash of titans movie
Dominique Douglas and in mythology when he had to kill her to kill polydectues
xicarzon and one in online arena
"only way of escape"
Did you not check behind the pillars?
No one can go through pillars on this game duh.
they are high up
ZeroCold Gg perseus isnt that strong i think bth idk
No one play like me in very hard mode
This was a test
3:08 that little explosion type of effect looks badass
Perseus: you can't see me.
kratos:
Perseus: I'm RiGhT hErE
this boss is just a giant game of Marco-Polo
This guy can turn invisible but chooses to fight at the water. Genius

Kratos vs. Percy Jackson
End result obvious.
John Weaver it's not percy Jackson percy was born wayyyyy after this time, that useless piece of demi_god was called perseus.
I Know that. I’m saying that this would be the end result if Kratos ever fought Percy Jackson.
But at least Percy can put up a better fight consider how strong he is in manipulate Water.
Salmagros he wouldn't even touch the Guy who killed Poseidon lmao
John Weaver Lol a stupidly overpowered character or a teenager who just wanted to have peace hmm
"So you want to escape from here, huh? So let it be !"
*Kratos make a hole on the wall with tossing him out 😂
Perseus:That door was my only escape
The huge gaps in the pillar:Am I joke to you
Perseus could’ve just climbed through the back of the building. And he could wear that helmet and that way avoid confrontation. But no he had to fight the main character.
Sometimes you gotta love side characters for their stupidity
The pillars are high up, he would've broken his legs from the fall. Even when kratos has to get down himself, he has to use the chain that Perseus's body is weighing down. It was too high up before.
Perseus: I will defeat you with my sword and shield!
Kratos: Nigga pls *Kratos breaks his sword with his hands*
Perseus:"That door was my only escape!"
*Kratos stares confused at the giant gaps between the columns behind Perseus*
Kratos: Uhhh, actually...
-Perseus: THE. ONLY. ESCAPE!
1:13 Kratos dab 😂
Kratos was like YEET 😂😂
Lol
These two are both children of Zeus so technically they are half-brothers...
Stop killing family, Kratos!
well he's on his way to kill father anyway
He also killed a good number of his aunts and uncles, along with his great grandfather Chronos as well.
thesynergy2 Perseus started it.
thesynergy2 it wouldn’t be the first time...or the last for that matter
its not his fault, they keep starting fights and just end the fight and them with it
Kratos: Doesn’t hold the door open
Perseus: You really are the Ghost of Sparta
Harry Hamlin voiced Perseus here, and he played Perseus 26 years prior in Clash of the Titans, that’s cool as hell
0:11 Kratos just didn't knew he was behind him and faced the opposite way
Perseus: perhaps this is a test!!
Sisters of fate: Yo he came out of nowhere dude, we did NOT send him 😂
Lahkesis: *Laughs like Jameson*
I love almost all the boss battles from the GOW series, they're so fun and challenging! Can't wait for April 20th!
Kratos was literally minding his own business, when some guy just rocked up and started threatening him.
Percy Jackson got fcked up
bob bob that's son of poseidon
That wasnt percy, that was perseus
I love how Kratos is just like "Wtf is this guy talking about?" at the beginning. XD
This was always one of my most favorite battle from this series. There was always something so satisfying about hooking Perseus at the end after whooping his ass
The music for this fight is so damned epic.
3:55 when you wake up to look at your phone and the brightness is all the way up.
no its like opening your parents phone
Weird that Perseus's shield still has the Head of Medusa on it. I mean in the mythology, he does kill Medusa, but in the GOW series, it's actually Kratos who kills her.
Perseus calls kratos a fool then proceeds to turn himself invisible and splash around in water... You can't make this up 😭😭
The boss theme is pretty epic actually
The same which plays in the final boss fight.
I like how perseus says "no" at 0:05
3:31 kratos literally broke a sword with his bare hands
Old good times for my favorite ps2
best gamer ***good old times(I now,it's just a youtube comment,not an english essay,but I think it could still be useful in case you didn't know that).
This fight was pretty awesome when I first played it. Still is. And the music is epic.
Fun Fact: The guy who voices Perseus is Harry Hamlin, the actor who played Perseus in Clash of the Titans
The music in this battle is incredible 🙌
as shitty as Perseus' fighting style might be, you gotta admit that this battle has one hell of amazing score. the soundtrack still pops in my head from time to time after all these years! amazing work by the team.
Fun fact: the actor who voiced perseus is Harry Hamlin from the original clash of the titans
Similar thing with Hercules in GOW III, he was voiced by Keven Sorbo, the actor who portrayed Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
Nobody:
Perseus: I'm right here...
"I killed many who were deserving, like this one fool who went invisible and still talked as we fought."
Since I never played any God of war game I will assume that Perseus just wants to speak with the sisters
yep
If u watched the cutscene, u would know that Perseus wanted 2 c the sisters so they could help him bring his love back from Hades.
Brendan Nunno that's exactly what he said
+Samot R. I agree with you
Apollodragon 2000
Holy shit I thought I recognized Perseus' voice, it's Harry Hamlin! He's the guy who played Perseus in the Clash of the Titans movie, 1980's version. Man, the devs are true fans of this stuff. I love it.
The animator's day off.
Perseus: That door was my only escape.
1 meter distant columns on the other side of the room: wtf
Perseus: Are you watching me now sisters!?
Sisters: 👁👄👁🍸
When you realize the Perseus with invisibility is just a walking hit box
Literally all kratos had to do was say. "Nah fam. You dont want the smoke" wouldve saved him a fight
"I'll bathe in the glory of killing the god slayer Kratos"......by cowardly turning invisible and proceeding to try and win by stabbing him in the back.
Perseus: You don't live up to your reputation Ghost of Sparta.
Kratos: Well f.ck you too.
Kratos - *Kills Ares as a mortal
Perseus - AIGHT YOU WEAK FUCK COME FIGHT ME!
