I: here's finally those vertical rope glitches I mentioned but never got around to capturing before this. Basically, attacking or switching weapons right as you hit the rope, you begin a glitchy "rope combat" mode. Looks especially strange if you hit the rope with an air attack, then continue doing air attacks as you slowly hover downwards, eventually causing a strange double image to Kratos. I think this is because the game thinks Kratos is on two places at once, both on ground and on rope. This way you also rise up the rope much faster than normally climbing... pity it never comes in handy because there are maybe two vertical ropes in this game.

II: a very stupid glitch other people have also noticed. You can pick up the man in need of help before he becomes a corpse (even though there is no prompt), looking strange and causing Kratos to get stuck on his tracks.

III: this is what happens if you do the Eye/Feather-message glitch (quitting to main menu) and try going to the Challenges or the Arena. First there's this strange screen of nothing. Once you go to select- or start-menu and return, things start looking like normal again. But Kratos is unable to move a muscle, and enemies won't target him either. Retrying the challenge or arena finally causes things to work like normal.

IV: I was messing around when I noticed that you can take these Zeus Temple purchasing messages with you. Choosing 'yes' while away from the pedestal causes absolutely nothing to happen.

V: water glitches. The same momentum boost thingy from CoO works here too.

VI: the "water combat" is here too, although not as potent as in CoO. You can only do this in water areas in which Kratos cannot dive, which are pretty rare in GoS.

VII: a strange new effect in GoS. Doing square air attack from an ascension in front of a climbing wall causes Kratos to fall down much quicker than normal. Works with Arms air attack as well, although it's not as fast.

VIII: I entered a cutscene doing the Boreas magic, and managed to get its sound to glitch up.
