God of War 3: Boss Battle Guide – Scorpion

Published on April 3rd, 2010

You’re not far from the end now, you’ve just got two more big bosses to tackle!  Next up is the giant scuttling ! Check out our tips and strategies on how to beat him.

Before you face the big creature, a dozen or so little scorpions will crawl out the woodwork and attack you from all angles.  No need for defense here, you’ll be able to see off these little critters with a few combos, just keep on the move because they’ll try to nip you from behind. All of sudden the big scorpion will land. He’ll swipe you up with his pincers. Get ready to press down L1 and R1 to prize yourself from his grip. When you hit the ground you need to aim for this legs, which are his weakness. Move to the left quickly otherwise you’ll get swiped straight back up. The scorpion has Onyx shielding on his legs which you have to destroy. Break three legs and he’ll be done on his knees, well his stomach. Spin attack with L1 + Circle will get the job done.

Kratos also has a sting in his tail

The Scorpion drops and there’s the temptation to head to his right hand side while he’s down to hack away at his other set of legs; don’t! Go up to his face and unleash a barrage of spin and hard attacks until the circle prompt appears above his head. You’ll get to rip one his teeth out! The Scoprion scuttles away in pain and leaves you to tackle his smaller brothers. You don’t need to know what to do here, just attack them anyway you want, they’re easy to kill.  The large Scorpion will reappear this time sending his bad breath in your direction. Stay back to avoid it. You’ll have to hack at his three legs again. Just use the same method as before. It will be less hectic this time around because he’ll back off at couple of times.  Watch for his fiery breath though when he gets back on the platform each time. Once he drops approach his head again and whack it (Nemean Rage attack will do the trick.) You’ll have to follow a few command prompts now (in our expereince the sequence was Circle, Square, Rotate analog stick.)

The Scorpion will freeze. He’s harmless now. Go smack him hard until he crumbles into pieces.  Job done. Zeus next!

      This is crazy I can’t find anybody who remotely sounds as if they tried to beat it on choas or what my brother and I call it impossible. Which it took us at least 3 hours to beat the scorpion. Now we are stuck again at the 3 judges where the 3 headed beast was waiting on us after the fall back to hades.
