How that Goliath got his beast head cast with a sling. 12 labors of the west. 12 days to the East. 12 ways of deception as a labor. How her 12 crown left her sleeping and cup was deceived by a dragon that got bled for blood. That Omega symbol though.
Overall a very well-choreographed boss fight. I loved the way Hercules moves after losing the gauntlets. He jukes around Kratos and moves his hands like a wrestler looking for a weak spot. He also rarely flinches, just tanking through each hit like the demigod he is. Shows how intimidating the character can be when on the wrong side
I noticed that too. He moves like a Freestyle Wrestler. Once you take his weapons, the fight starts to look like a Wrestling or a Pankration fight especially when they dodge each others attacks.
honestly when I felt bad beating Hercules, he just wanted to be loved and be recognized by his work as god...and also I would liked more a hand to hand fight with him.
I agree with the hand to hand combat. It would have been so awesome to have kratos and hercules beating eachother with their bare fists, but alas, they never implemented hand to hand combat in god of war 3. I am really glad they are in the new god of war
Hercules is often one of my favorite fictional characters, from disneys take, to marvels, to many others I always liked him, so it was kind of heartbreaking seeing him being made into a killable boss here.
It's even worse than that, he's overpowered in a contest of strength, and they're using the wrong name since it's supposed to be Heracles, not Hercules.
@@valdish9620 I think its come down to contention what he's called, since his name differs depending who's telling the story. I like the idea that he would keep his name hercules due to the bitterness his step mother has for him, and wouldn't wish to be called heracles
OldManJenkins420 he was not. He wasn't a god, he wanted to be but Zeus just didn't really care for him. That's why he wanted to kill Kratos. There isn't really a God of strength, Hercules was just blessed with powers because he was the son of Zeus.
Hercules wasn't evil, he didn't like the Gods. he loved humans. he wasn't proud of his godliness and was a good half man half God but he wasn't evil as they portrayed him in this game. he also didn't live on Mount olimp with all the Gods, he lived with normal people. according to Greek mythology or what I saw in the movie xena and hercules, damn it those were the times!!!
My mans has been trained since birth for battle, on top of that he has anger issues, so I don't think anyone eould even look at him, let alone bully the guy😂😂😂
@@joshjoonas2676 no it isn't, maybe your opinion, but this is the same dude that is pissed off that he didn' get to kill ares, and he hides behind some skeletons
awesome I forgot how epic these boss battles are makes me want to play this game all over again even though I beat it along time ago on the hardest difficulty
It's a bit hard to believe that Kevin Sorbo would voice a villainous version of Hercules in God of War 3, when he portrayed the more heroic role in The Legendary Journeys.
at 0.5 is quite the power you can feel... also you realize when Kratos Killed Hercules... exactly with hit 15 i think he dead*... the 4 rest hits are overkill :P
this boss fight is one of the reasons why kratos isn't just a cold blooded killer he tried to talk hercules out of the fight but had to kill him in self defense
Why does not the same happen to Zeus, where Kratos beat his face into a pulp. It is really not fair. Hercules' face is blungeoned beyond recognition while Zeus just bled.
Wish they went with the route of Deimos, Kratos and Hercules fighting Poseidon and Zeus and as well fighting Chronos and the surviving titans and an added final boss is typhon.
Since they got Kevin Sorbo to voice Hercules, it would have been cool if they'd gotten his likeness and made Hercules look more like the 90s show where Sorbo played Hercules... canonically it wouldn't have made sense because the show's Herc didn't have any love for the gods, nor did he want to be a god himself, but I would have just loved to seen Sorbo Herc from the 90s in the game :)
i like how Hercules is aware that Kratos is his brother, well Kratos is his half-brother since their father is Zeus, but they were born of two different mothers.
kratos is weaker then Hercules doe, I mean Hercules is known for being the strongest of the strong and yet he gets pushed back by kratos in a simple pushoff
+Tobuscus Lechtenbeger You can really see that Hercules has made some mistakes that turned out to be fatal for him. You can see that he's poisoned with the envy sin from the pandora's box, which clouded his judgement. At first, he tries to show superiority by sending goons to fight first, then he slowly walked towards Kratos, commanding the goons to grab him (that costed him the armor). When fighting 101, he was somehow more agressive, and dangerous (this is the part where Kratos could have been defeated). But then he Stopped and started boasting, which costed him his weapons. He then continued playing with Kratos, trying to dodge him, and grab him. But he realised things were getting complicated, so he tried to throw Kratos away, then smash him with rocks. Sensing he couldn't kill Kratos this way he then uplifted the arena, in hope for Kratos to fall to his death, but mantaining a plateau lifted is hard as hell (there' no resistance when mantain something up, then unexpectedly a force tries to smash it on top of you). Kratos then won for having Hercules caught under the plateau, vulnerable to every hit.
Delaney the word jealous has been brought up a lot. Delany I might be very paranoid that is true but I am not the kind of person to flip through your phone and spy on you......It's just in the back of my head this goes (Video as a metaphor) briefly at the idea of men gawking at you...that's it! you do not have the watch the whole thing....I am not a domineering control freak....(:
Funny thing I really felt Hercules should have helped Kratos because he would never have taken orders from Hera the bitch who put through a lot of shit and he would have clearly saw that Zeus had gone mad
Can someone please enlighten me ? I’ve never owned a PlayStation, however the god of war games always intrigued me. I’ve watched most playthroughs via you tube, but I’m still not sure why the gods are acting the way they are. Having studied Greek mythology I totally get that the gods are fickle, but especially in say Hermès case, i almost get the sense that they’ve been corrupted. I realize Kratos is killing them one by one because he feels betrayed, but... I don’t know. I’m sure someone out there gets what I’m trying to ask 😂 anyways, great upload and fight. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
When Kratos was stuck on the spikes, Hercules should've attacked instead of stretching his muscles. But you know these kinds of games. They always need to remain convenient to the main character.

How that Goliath got his beast head cast with a sling.
12 labors of the west.
12 days to the East.
12 ways of deception as a labor.
How her 12 crown left her sleeping and cup was deceived by a dragon that got bled for blood.
That Omega symbol though.

That's also how he fought the Nemean Lion with his bare hands.
The King of the Penguins I’ve seen you before? 🤔
honestly when I felt bad beating Hercules, he just wanted to be loved and be recognized by his work as god...and also I would liked more a hand to hand fight with him.
your not alone i felt bad to
I feel ya
he confronted Kratos, he fucked up from the start..
Felix Okat yeah but still I liked Hercules
I agree with the hand to hand combat. It would have been so awesome to have kratos and hercules beating eachother with their bare fists, but alas, they never implemented hand to hand combat in god of war 3. I am really glad they are in the new god of war

he killed hercules with that weapon
but kill zeus with his bare hands... thats really really fantastic fact
lol dont u see that he got a shiny aura thingy in his hand lol
he kill Zeus with pandora
OldManJenkins420 he was not. He wasn't a god, he wanted to be but Zeus just didn't really care for him. That's why he wanted to kill Kratos. There isn't really a God of strength, Hercules was just blessed with powers because he was the son of Zeus.
The Rock (Hercules) Vs Vin Diesel (Kratos)
Winner: Batman
+Mo Jones Martha
+Santos Rangel WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME !!??
Heisenberg?
No . Broke Lesnar(Harcules) vs Godlberg(Kratos)
This is more epic than even Hulk movies.
Am I the only one who's amazed that Kratos can be impaled in multiple places yet shake it off like it's nothing?
Also, Hercules was doing great until he took an arrow to the knee. 😃
+Kahlil Davis Just like when Achilles got shot in the heel...
+TyrannosaurusLives it sounds like homestuck
God of war is a cheezy over hyped peice of shit
of course he can it's a game it doesn't matter how many times you get impaired as long as you have enough life he can shrug it off.
Kratos is the personification of power in greek mythology
***** You can search it in the internet Kratos was in greek mythology
+Noctis Lucis that Kratos is gladly not derived from the god Kratos even though there are similarities
BrawnyLion "Nah" wtf
Kratos is LITERALLY personification of power in greek mythology.
Nice to see they got Kevin Sorbo for Hercules' voice.
I still can't believe he sounded so damn evil!
I know right? Did a bloody good job of it
يا
يا
When I heard his voice, I got flashbacks of the TV series and I realized I was beating up my childhood. Lol.
Also this is sibling rivalry to the next level
Hercules wasn't evil, he didn't like the Gods. he loved humans. he wasn't proud of his godliness and was a good half man half God but he wasn't evil as they portrayed him in this game. he also didn't live on Mount olimp with all the Gods, he lived with normal people.
according to Greek mythology or what I saw in the movie xena and hercules, damn it those were the times!!!
He was affected by Pandora's box
@@fargo1234 Envy, to be exact.
Imagine kratos as a kid getting into a fight at school
I feel pity by the bully that try to pick him on
Rip the person trying to fight him XD he'd kick his ass
My mans has been trained since birth for battle, on top of that he has anger issues, so I don't think anyone eould even look at him, let alone bully the guy😂😂😂
took brotherly rivalry to whole new level
Hercules using henchmen is pretty stupid.
not really, it looked badass tho
That actually were Hera's henchmen, weren't they?
@@joshjoonas2676 no it isn't, maybe your opinion, but this is the same dude that is pissed off that he didn' get to kill ares, and he hides behind some skeletons
awesome I forgot how epic these boss battles are makes me want to play this game all over again even though I beat it along time ago on the hardest difficulty
Hercules is the hero's roman name. since god of war is greek, it should be HERACLES
ikr
kaleb smith they probably went for Hercules, because it s the more popular one, Disney did so too...
Ikr, if they went by Roman names Persephone would be Called Proserpina (something like that)
kaleb smith you'd be surprised how many people don't know that
He goes by Hercules because he despises Hera and the name Heracles has Hera in it so.....
This game will never get old I can play this over and over lol
this Hercules reminds me of rich piana
LOL
so right
PoisNpiLLz
GOOD FUCKING MORNING GODDAMNIT
only difference is that hercules is damn strong
Why does no one seem to get this right? Hercules was the Roman adaptation of the mythical hero. Heracles was the Greek version.
Christian Calso and
butt his name is still Hercules not Heracles...
and Kratos is Sapartan
Christian Calso Because it caught on that way throughout history
dude, i get it. the fight in forum (from rome). his armor have resemblance roman armor.
its cool tho.
It's a bit hard to believe that Kevin Sorbo would voice a villainous version of Hercules in God of War 3, when he portrayed the more heroic role in The Legendary Journeys.
I know right? Amazing, and I think Harry Hamlin voiced Perseus in God of War 2, along with Michael Clarke Duncan as Atlas.
I met Kevin Sorbo
How? When? Where?
Douglas Snyder At Awesome Con
How long ago was that??
This game is so beautiful I can not get over it
Watching Kratos finish Hercules at speed 2 is amazing.
at 0.5 is quite the power you can feel... also you realize when Kratos Killed Hercules... exactly with hit 15 i think he dead*... the 4 rest hits are overkill :P
this was the most physical and ferocius battle because they were at the same level of strenght
No Hercules is a little bit stronger
this boss fight is one of the reasons why kratos isn't just a cold blooded killer
he tried to talk hercules out of the fight but had to kill him in self defense
I'm pretty sure the voice of Hercules is KEVIN SORBO. Epic.
That it is.
Hercules is HUGE in this game.
FuzionTiger501 F.C he was eating those chickens everyday xD oh Hercules Hercules Hercules xD
i like at 1:23 his helmet magically goes right through his chest when he lowers his head
7:35 at least he wants a hug
Jalen Kelly bear hug
3:49 Sick move
Why does not the same happen to Zeus, where Kratos beat his face into a pulp. It is really not fair.
Hercules' face is blungeoned beyond recognition while Zeus just bled.
Probably by the fact that zeuz is a full god while hercules is a demigod
I love how anything in this game spills blood. Even things that dont even have organs, like the skeletons, spill blood😂
Hercules's VA also played Hercules in a 90's TV movie series and Xena: Warrior Princess. He also played the atheist in God's Not Dead.
That is right! Kevin Sorbo! Was interviewed by John Stossel a while back.
5:32 Woah that Shockwave... O_O
at 2:50 reminds me how dante pulls himself out of deadly traps and other shits. I guess son of sparda is not the only one with "healing capabilities"
6:16 will always be one of my favorite sounds from this series
Tiny Tiger Boss fight in crash bandicoot 3:warped. Anyone???
Reminds of that too.
One of the best boss fights of GOW ever
With this type of Hercules i can image a pretty kick ass Hercules game
8:33 Stop Stop he’s already dead!
You made this boss fight hardcore man, nice job 😂👍
This fight like Bully
Hercules= Russell Kratos= Jimmy Hopkins
So many nostalgic memories.
You know if you upgrade 3 hold the square button and he does a special 6 or 7 hit combo. That shit is awesome.
Where the hell is the music man
i love the xbox but i envy sony's GOD OF WAR!!!
😭😭
Me too!!! Ughhhhhhh
Lol
If there's one thing Sony gives us, it's lots and lots of top-tier exclusives ;)
instead of being a player hater why don't you by both consoles.
Nice fight, Jerkules. XD 😀😀😃😃😄😄😆😆
Kratos comes as a nice guy since he usually and initially never wants to fight his "brothers", human or demigod. I see this as "self defense". Haha
He crewed over the world by killing all the gods that run it. Not really a nice guy.
total bad ass that's why I love kratos he ain't scared of shit and defeats everyone in his path.
Definitely one of the memorable scenes.
Gotta respect Hercules for not flinching during there little wrestling 🤼♂️
My fav Boss figth list!
1.Hercules
2.Zeus
3.cronos
No1 better like Hades like a boss fight
it's my opinion bro
What is the fucking difference between the ps3 version and this one? Frames and Resolution?
fuegosonic93 Does it matter? Now PS4 users can enjoy the awesomeness that is GOW3
20mat .....rrriiiiight.
fuegosonic93 ??
20mat Retrocompatibility dude....is that so fucking hard?
+fuegosonic93 Oh look, a whiner
Man, Kratos doesn't appreciate how Hercules sold out and did all those shitty Christian movies.
You're big. Fought bigger.
Nice Thor Reference lol😂😂😂😂
Love Thor..
Wish they went with the route of Deimos, Kratos and Hercules fighting Poseidon and Zeus and as well fighting Chronos and the surviving titans and an added final boss is typhon.

"Enemy on your left Brother!"
2:36: what your boss does if you don't give him coffee.
Hercules sounds like Dwayne Johnson.
Couldn't you AT LEAST put some music once the main fight began?
Hercules thinks he can take on the guy who killed Hades
Not to mention Kratos made it very clear he didn't want to fight him
I had a crush on Hercules in this he’s so huge~
This is my favorite part of the game.
i love playing the part where you keep on pressing o to beat the shit of hercules face so fun just gets bloody and bloodier
"I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM MYSELF!"
*sends another horde to kill him*
Tip of the day: if you think your parents don't have favorites, that's because you are the favorite.
I gotta play this again.
I'm playing it again!
i like how Hercules is aware that Kratos is his brother, well Kratos is his half-brother since their father is Zeus, but they were born of two different mothers.
"Irreversible" film scene inspired...LOL nice smashed face.
kratos is weaker then Hercules doe, I mean Hercules is known for being the strongest of the strong and yet he gets pushed back by kratos in a simple pushoff

plot armor...
plot armor!
Does anyone else think that Hercules kinda looks like the Hulk?
Oh good, it lets you swim over to see if Hercule's face is properly smashed in.
What is your display settings for Ps4 ?
Awesome! :)
Hmmm... the end just isn’t the same without “Rage of Sparta” playing.
No background music 😢 that intensifies all this brutality
I must get this. Kronos here I Come! vengeance is mine!
holy shit, I forgot how big Heracles was.
5:47 what the fuck 😂😂😂😆🤣🤣👍👍👍♥️♥️👏👏
Emmm, good fight, you have potential bro but where is the músic >:'v
Hercules looks like the Incredible Hulk turned white.

They are corrupted by the evils of pandoras box, if you didnt find out already.
Never knew Hercules had such an underbite
8:26 - 8:40 That's who I feel.
i dont see the diference ps3-ps4 same thing
YodraG gaming frame rate. thats pretty much the only upgrade
Tyler Hansen And a bit more polished
Of course you won't see the difference in RUclips! Play them side to side and you will.
if are using a piece of shit iPhone
+WANAKO why, because you are ussing one?
Holy shit his face became mashed potatoes
When Kratos was stuck on the spikes, Hercules should've attacked instead of stretching his muscles. But you know these kinds of games. They always need to remain convenient to the main character.
KratoS is life and im Hercules when I dont complete Kratos
His hand is bigger than his torso
you are the best
It just struck me but doesn't Hercules look a bit like hulk from the MCU. With the haircut at 7:56 that was the first thing that came to my mind
Wait, when Kratos got Hercules's Cestus, did they completely cut out the Rage of Sparta theme?
He looks like hulk
Ksi(kratos) vs Joe Weller(Hercules)
tbh i was expecting kratos to also murder that little goat man from the movie
3:06 Did she just say “kill the bastard”?
Kratos has 3 brothers:
1.Deimos
2.Ares
3.Hercules
Oh, he has a lot more siblings than that. There's Apollo, Artemis, Dionysus, Hephaistos, Aphrodite, Athena, and that's just to name a few...
