Well, considering all the cut scenes and eventual that were either in or that came after this game and the stuff that kratos has seen and what he says to atreus towards the end of the 2018 God of War, you start to realize that kratos was likely desensitized over time to where the beast inches from his face wouldn't be that intimidating to him
trust me same here and well both times i didn't saw how that boss died and i even cried on how it was so difficult to me it was when i was like 4 or 5 years old and yes that boss fight was the one I just couldn't beat it........
@@deciduous_reaper I still think that the hardest part of this bossfight is the minigame... But that's because I wasn't able to do it, then I don't know about you
Jason Axiak the blades arent actually normal, they have kind of fire power, oh and the chains were supposed to be permanently stuck in kratos arms cuz they were hot af when he put them for the first time so they are stuck in his hand *But then kratos removed them somehow in GOW4.*
When I first saw this Kratos was just standing there as the Minotaur smashes it's fist in front of him without him flinching made me believe he been through this before but after playing the prequels, I cannot see why else he wouldn't be intimidated, it's just another day in the office for Kratos
@@anitejmishra8836 Remember that f'n achievement on ps3 for climbing it in a short amount of time, WITHOUT taking damage! I loved GoW1 but holy christ beating that game on the hardest difficulty lead to many broken controllers. 😬
I've not completed these games on the harder difficulties but I've heard that the old god of war games were more difficult than dark souls it's just that few know about it because you can change difficulty
@@thealphatheomega2348 i had trouble with that so i gave the controller to my 10 year old brother at that time, and he did it in 30 minutes and got the achievement too
When I first went against this boss battle, it drove me insane, but after many years of playing over and over again Pandora’s Guardian became one of my favorites to beat.
Default :D All the videos that were strategy guide videos seemed to show the best way to fight him was to fight him on the platform, so that's the way I did it. And, it worked!
It pretty much underlines how so little can throw him off. At this point of the series, he was the celestial hitman for the Greek Gods, so he's seen a bunch of shit already. So a undead Steampunk Minotaur is just another day at work.
I was just curious about what was back there the first time. When the minotaur came out, I was like, "WHAAAAT?!? I get to fight one of these guys?!?" I got excited! If I'd known what I would get after the fight the first time, I'd have probably tried to end the fight faster just to get to Army Of Hades!
People said the god of war 1 2 and 3 were just button mashing no it isnt it has other moves too (in too lazy to go through them all) we have magic blocking rolling and quick time events
@@federicosalas9781 Alecto was a good fight, better than the minotaur yes. But not as good (for me) as Hermes, Helios, & Hercules. Alecto was DEFINITELY a better fight than The Kraken in GOfW II.
@@ericblue5436 Alecto is the most epic Boss of all, but not the best in argumentatively or in history,in that case Hércules,Helios etc they are better bosses
If this was an anime: - Minautaur: "oohh... It looks like you're too scared to move" - Kratos: "Actually I'm glad you're here, I need some practice. You'll make a good punching bag" - Minautaur: "Nani!!!"
I'd have to guess that's the actual Minotaur, being the first one of it's kind it would make sense for it to be the largest, and Hephaestus would seek to improve it in any way, be that surrounding its body with armour.
Headcanon time! In addition to what DeciMation said, this is the Minotaur that Theseus killed. No wonder how in GoW II, he seems so confident in beating Kratos. But I doubt that when Theseus killed this bull, it was undead and Steampunked out.
Damn this brings me back boy its been a long journey I was in high school when I first got my hands on God of War for ps2 and now an adult married and with child waiting for ragnarok years later
I honestly hated this boss so much as a kid. I had to have my older brother do the joystick thing for me because I found it impossible to do with my tiny hands.
ahhhhh,this game sure did bring back some memories.When i was just a child,i used to play this game on tablet but now its gone.But,this boss fight sure bring back some memories to me.
Strange to think how this is one of only three "proper" boss fights in the original GoW, the other two being the Hydra & Ares respectively... Seems that from GoW2 onwards, boss battles pretty much became a dime a dozen in these games - back in the day, though, this fight really stood out!
Ooooh nostalgia at its best, these boss battles make God of war the beast title that it is. I loved the most recent addition but it did lack boss variety
The best character trait Kratos has is how he will just stare something like this down. He doesn't back down from anything. Not Zeus, a dragon, Odin, Thor, nobody. The way he stood up to the Tyr in the prison and the way he rose 8 feet taller than Kratos and he just looked up.
In my opinion this is the best boss in this game the stage in this fits great and the music fits perfectly to the armored minotaur this is why kratos is a badass in all if the god of war games
With all the remakes being made today Insomniac need to do a remake of this game just because of this boss. Just imagine God of War 2005 being upgraded to PS5 standard graphics
honestly what a terrifying boss fight, forget the multiple steps to beat it but they literally built it up to something you would fight as it keeps slamming the door. And what it does come it's as every bit as chaotic and intimating as your imagination thought it would be. freaking zombie no less like sheesh
Its launched at a high velocity.... blades your literly poking him, electricity somewhat tickling him.. but a giant stake? How does it NOT make sense that itd kill him?
Thanks for this. This boss does a horrible job at telling you what exactly you're supposed to do next after the QTE. I genuinely don't know how anybody could've figured out how to do move on to the next phase without a walkthrough like this.
Nono they remastered God of War from DVD quality to BluRay quality since PS3 onwards. It was said by Stig himself that GoW 3 was exceptional and superior to GoW 1 and 2 due to the limitations that DVD /PS2 had. In fact, Kratos was bald due to these limitations because animating hair takes a lot of power and memory.
I was pressing circle like a maniac for like 30 minutes and nothing was happening, thinking this was the hardest boss in the game, so I search for a video like this to see what I was doing wrong. Turns out that nothing was wrong, I was pressing circle correctly. Then I back to the game after the video, pressed the buttun and suddenly it worked. like, WTF
I tried it with the Artemis Blade on Normal and Hard Mode last night. It didn't make the fight any easier (maybe I was doing it wrong), but it DID make the fight more fun.

You guys don’t know how difficult this boss was when the game came out. I broke my first controller right here.
Me too
I played on Hard mode and I almost cried from frustration
Tell us
My stress was getting around on the beams in Blades of Hades to get to all of the chests without falling. The minotaur was easy compared to that.
@@ericblue5436 What difficulty you played on when you fought the Minotaur?

A giant zombie minotaur that breathes fire. Now that is something that could fit in DOOM.

ChillyReaper I agree.

Yeah, that all seems about right.
he has face things that would literally eat this zombie ass for breakfast, and holy shit that is by any means not an exaggeration
That's because he's no longer afraid. These troublesome monsters are eliminated as if they were nothing
I mean, this man has faced the hecatoncheires and the Basilisk before

Still my favorite boss fight of all time. All the things I had to do just to open that door, and when it finally opened, I was not disappointed.
The first GOW is hands down the hardest to beat.

Killing this minotaur was more fun than killing Theseus in the second game.

Got to admit I was so scared when the big door was banging when I first played
Me 2

this boss reminds me of "The Icon of Sin" in DOOM Eternal.

“Oh the memories… they’re overwhelming”

You can actually break Pandora’s guardian in Kratos throne room same with Ares

One of the coolest bosses ever imo...! Great looks and great animations! And a great music theme for this boss fight.
The boss fights in this game were fantastic.
Player: Woah he's huge it will be hard
Kratos : Ah shit here we go again ...
The circle button: Ah shit here go again
This is one of my favorite fights because of what I acquire after winning! Poseidon's Rage combined with Army Of Hades is amazing!
Play god of war 1 again. This is your sign from the universe
Minotaur: look I got moves, fear me!
Kratos: You ain't gonna do shit.
I love the part when the Minotaur, with little to no muscle or flesh to speak of, flexes his chest plate off like a baws.

Maybe, but it isn't as satisfying for me as killing Hermes, Helios, and Hercules.
