Walkthrough
Welcome to the God of War: Ascension Walkthrough page on Gamewise. The story follows Kratos, before the events of the first God of War, as he tries to break the pact he made with Ares.
Trophies
Cheats
When you push the right analog stick in any direction, Kratos will roll to evade attacks, but there is normally a second or so after rolling before you can roll again. If you press the Square button to attack while rolling, Kratos will start attacking as soon as the roll is done. The premise is to roll again before Kratos does the attack and if done right, you can do this infinitely.
