God of War, Hydra King Boss Defeated - PS2 Retro Replay
0I have been a late comer to The God of War Series on multiple platforms but I have to say it's a great series.. Here I Defeated the Boss, Hydra King, in God of War on the PlayStation 2. I'm no expert gamer either just having fun along the gaming journey.
Little info on the PlayStation game and Boss itself:
Kratos fights the Hydra King on the Aegean Sea. It's the dominant Hydra head; it's the largest head and the most hideous with its teeth and roar, it sits in the center of the body, and according to several sailors, it has the ability to heal and revive the other lesser heads. When Kratos arrives on the boat it was attacking, he witnesses it devouring the ship Captain along with the key he had. Kratos then fought the monster upon the top of the main mast of the ship. It attacks Kratos simply by slamming its open jaw down onto the board where Kratos stands, and by knocking him back with a powerful roar. Eventually, Kratos weakens it and runs the main mast repeatedly through the roof of its mouth and out of one of its eyes. With its death, the other smaller heads die as well.
God of War is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). First released on March 22, 2005, for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) console, it is the first installment in the series of the same name and the third chronologically. Loosely based on Greek mythology, it is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian gods. The goddess Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares, the God of War and Kratos' former mentor who tricked Kratos into killing his wife and daughter. As Ares besieges Athens out of hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to find the one object capable of stopping the god once and for all: Pandora's Box.
