God of War 2: Inside Colossus Skips Compilation (Normal Play - Speedrun Strategies)
Decided to do a single vid of all my new Normal Play skips, to help out with any possible future FAQ coverage. You might have seen some of them on my recent vid. All these skips are PS2 & PS3 verified, & I also tested them on VH (Titan Mode), to make sure that you can do them while taking the required damage. You can.

The skips in this vid:
1.Skip Core 1
2.Skip Core 2
3.Skip Core 3 (Version 1, 2 & 3)
4.Skip at top-of-rope (confirmed for NP)
In a Normal Play/VH speedrun, the optimal skips are:
*Skip Core 1 -- Make sure to hit the blue barrier only ONCE on the way over it. If you hit it more than once, you might not have enough health left to do the 'Core 3' skip (on VH).
*Skip Core 2 -- You don't take damage on this one. This skip is only possible by breaching an invisible wall slightly, above the chest (during the ascension). On the other side of the invisible wall there is a ledge you can jump off...but ONLY when Colossus has swayed FULLY to the right of screen. (Yes, he sways).
*Skip Core 3 (Version 2) -- This is the most efficient version, cos you don't have to shuffle across the 3rd core. You take damage on this one, so on VH hit the barrier just once on the way through (taking a second 'hit' might be ok).
*Skip at top of vertical rope -- I've confirmed that this works on NP (tho, I always suspected it would).
