God of War Trilogy Remake: Trial of Archimedes Guide

Walkthrough

1
Upon entering the chamber, Kratos will face Archimedes. The fight begins with Archimedes using his mechanical gauntlet to attack.
2
Archimedes will retreat to a platform above, activating a large gear mechanism. Kratos must use the Blades of Chaos to grapple onto the moving gears and ascend.
3
As Kratos ascends, he must dodge steam vents and other environmental hazards.
4
At the top, Archimedes will attempt to crush Kratos with his gauntlet. Dodge the attacks and use the environment to your advantage.
5
Kratos will need to activate several levers to disrupt Archimedes' machinery. Each lever requires a specific sequence of actions or timing.
6
Once the machinery is sufficiently damaged, Archimedes will become vulnerable. Engage him in direct combat, using Kratos's full arsenal.
7
Be prepared for Archimedes to periodically reactivate his machinery, forcing Kratos to repeat parts of the puzzle-platforming section.
8
The final phase involves a direct confrontation where Kratos must defeat Archimedes by exploiting his weakened state and avoiding his powerful, but telegraphed, attacks.
