Sadly, I only know of one place where I can find English magazines. Thanks for the hint. I'll try to find it.

Or you could buy a PS3 : Anyways, work will take a while. Feel free to post some contributions if you like.

Warning: the following thread may contain spoilers about God of War 1, 2, Chains of Olympus and the upcoming God of War 3. Don't say I didn't warn you, because I just did. Introduction Welcome to the God of War 3 thread, where you can discuss about every God of War game, since there seem to be no threads about those around here. In God of War 3, Kratos, the former God of War, will take his bloody revenge on Zeus and all on Olympus. After being betrayed and killed by Zeus, Kratos went to find the mysterious Sisters of Faith to change his destiny and then brought the Titans to his time, to stand a better chance. Now armed with the Blades of Athena and the almighty Blade of Olympus, nothing will stand in his way... In the end... there will be only chaos.

Kratos is a proud and mighty Spartan general. One day, during a big fight, Kratos calls out to Ares before he kicks the bucket, and is willing to give his soul to the god of war if he saves him. Ares agrees and gives Kratos the Blades of Chaos and sends him out to conquer towns and wreak havoc. Soon after that, Ares betrays Kratos, by letting him kill his unnamed wife and his daughter Calliope. Kratos is then covered with the white ashes of his family, giving him his infamous nickname: the Ghost of Sparta. After these horrible events, he goes into a 10 year long servitude with the other Gods, hoping they will rid him of his nightmares. During the events of God of War I, Kratos is tasked to kill his former master, in which he succeeds with the mystical powers from Pandoras Box and the Blade of the Gods. After this act, the Gods of Olympus forgive Kratos horrid past and install him as the new God of War. Kratos reign didnt last long however. During an assault on Rhodes, Kratos is stripped of his godly powers and killed by Zeus. While Kratos body is being dragged to the depths of Hades, the Titan Gaia decides it is time to strike against Zeus and she revives Kratos. In order to destroy Zeus, Kratos has to reobtain the Blade of Olympus, and the only way to do so, is by seeking out the Sisters of Fate and go back in time before Zeus slays him. After a long journey, Kratos kills the Sisters and almost kills Zeus, but is stopped by Athena, who takes the finishing blow. While she draws her last breath, Athena reveals that Zeus is Kratos father and if Kratos chooses to kill Zeus, all the Gods will deny him. Instead of mourning his loss, Kratos brings the Titans to his time and wages war against all on Olympus. The Gods of Olympus The Gods where Kratos allies in God of War I, but are his greatest enemies in God of War III. Ares Ares, son of Zeus and Hera, was the God responsible for enslaving and betraying Kratos. He also betrayed most of the Gods by going on a rampage throughout Greece. When he attacks Athens, the other Gods send Kratos to stop him. Ares was the Greek God of War, until he was killed by Kratos with the Blade of the Gods and the power from Pandora's Box. Ares was the final boss in the first game and will make a cameo appearance in God of War III. Zeus Zeus is the supreme deity in Greek mythology. He was the son of the Titans Cronos and Rhea. Cronos would eat his children after they were born, because it was predicted that he would be overthrown by his own son. However, instead of Zeus, Rhea gave a stone to Cronos and let the Titan Gaia look after Zeus until he became an adult. Zeus would then force Cronos to disgorge the other Gods. After this, a war erupted between the Gods and the Titans. The Gods won the battle with the help of the Blade of Olympus. Zeus is also the father of Kratos. He kills Kratos, because he was afraid that his son would stand against him, like he did to Cronos. Zeus gave a lightning power to Kratos in the first God of War and was the final boss in the second God of War. He will probably be one of the final bosses in the third instalment, if not THE final boss. Athena Athena is the Greek god of wisdom and daughter of Zeus. She is the god that gave Kratos most of his tasks during his servitude. After tasking Kratos to kill Ares, she guides him through Athens to find the Oracle and Pandora's Box. Before the events of God of War II, Kratos and Athena seem to have developed some sort of love-based relationship with each other. However, after Zeus betrays Kratos, the relationship appears to have gotten a major kick, since Athena becomes a destroyable statue :? . At the end of the game, Athena is killed by Kratos with the Blade of Olympus, when she took the final blow that was meant for Zeus. She will return as a ghost in God of War III. Hades Brother of Zeus and God of the Underworld, which is also named after him. He helped Kratos in God of War I by giving him some power over the dead. Will be a (very cool) boss in God of War III. Helios The God of the Sun. He flies around in a chariot. Helios was kidnapped by Atlas in Chains of Olympus. It was Kratos task to save him, which he did. He will feature in God of War III, where he will get his head ripped off. Poseidon Another brother of Zeus and the ruler of the seas. Tasked Kratos with the killing of the mighty Hydra, which had run rampant through Poseidons seas for too long. He also gave a magical power to Kratos to aid him. Poseidon will be the first boss in God of War III. Persephone Wife of Hades and the Queen of the Underworld. She was the main villain in God of War: Chains of Olympus, where she released the Titan Atlas from his imprisonment. She made a deal with Morpheus to put all the other Gods to sleep, while she let Atlas kidnap Helios, the Sun God, and then let him attack the Pillar of the World. If this Pillar was destroyed, then the world would collapse. When Kratos stepped in to stop her, Persephone revealed the reason behind her evil plan. She was actually forced to marry Hades against her will, and was forced to live a life she never wanted. She felt the Gods had betrayed her (foreshadowing?) and decided to kill herself, and take the world with her. She was eventually stopped and killed by Kratos. Hermes Son of Zeus and the messenger of the Gods. Will be a boss in God of War III. Hera Sister and wife of Zeus (eek!). She will appear in God of War III. The Sisters of Fate Not exactly Gods, but also immortal deities, the three Sisters of Fate ruled over the entire lives of mortals, Gods and Titans alike. The youngest, but also the biggest Sister Clotho spun the so-called Threads of Life, 1 for each living person. Lahkesis, the second Sister, decided what life the person would lead and the third Sister Atropos decided when this life would end, by cutting the Threads. All 3 Sisters of Fate die by the hands of Kratos in God of War II. Titans The Titans are the enormous predecessors of the Gods. After Zeus rebelled against his father Cronos, a great war erupted between the Olympians and the Titans: the Titanomachy. At the end of this war, the Gods of Olympus managed to defeat the Titans, thanks to the mighty Blade of Olympus, and locked the Titans away into the deepest realm of the Underworld, known as Tartarus. At the end of God of War II, Kratos brings the Titans to his time to aid him in his quest for vengeance. Gaia Gaia, mother of Earth, is a Titan, and the most important Titan in the storyline of the God of War series. Gaia has observed Kratos for his entire life and serves as a narrator in the games. When Kratos is killed by Zeus, Gaia intervenes and gives Kratos new life. She then guides him towards the Sisters of Fate. Eventually, she is brought to Kratos time to aid him in his quest for vengeance. Cronos The son of Gaia and Ouranos. Cronos killed his father on behalf of Gaia and became the leader of the Titans. After learning of a prophecy, predicting that he would be overthrown by his own children, Cronos decided to eat all of his children as soon as they where born. His wife Rhea, gave birth to 6 sons and daughters: Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Hestia and finally Zeus. However, instead of Zeus, Rhea gave a rock to Cronos and Zeus was hidden and protected by Gaia. Several years later, Zeus forced Cronos to disgorge his other siblings and started the war against the Titans. After the war, Cronos was forced to forever wander through the desert, carrying the Temple of Pandora upon his back. Cronos will return in God of War III, where he will storm Mount Olympus with the rest of his kind. Atlas Although he was very powerful, the 4-armed Titan Atlas was defeated by Hades before the rest of his kind. He was, however, set free again by the Goddess Persephone and was tasked to kidnap Helios and destroy the Pillar of the World. Persephones plot was thwarted by Kratos and Atlas was forced to forever hold the earth on his shoulders. Kratos and Atlas met again in God of War II, when Atlas gave Kratos some of his power and helped him across the Great Chasm. It is unknown if Atlas will return in God of War III, but probably not. The Titans where saved by Kratos right before they would be struck by the power of the Blade of Olympus. By this time, Atlas was already captured. Prometheus Prometheus was a human-sized Titan, who chose to side against his brothers during the Titanomachy. After the Great War, he made the man out of clay, and stole the Flames of Olympus from Zeus, and gave them to the mortals. For this act of betrayal, Zeus chained Prometheus to the hand of the trapped Typhon, where he had his liver eaten by a giant eagle, every day until eternity. He was eventually released and killed by Kratos in God of War II. Typhon Typhon was a giant and terrible monster. He was created by Gaia after the Great War. Typhon was so horrifying, that no mortal or God dared to challenge him, except for Zeus, who defeated and trapped Typhon in a mountain. Typhon appeared in God of War II and probably wont return in the third God of War, since he was created after the Great War. Perses The lava-covered Titan of Destruction. He will make his debut in God of War III, where he is seen fighting against Helios and Kratos. Demigods and Other Characters Perseus Perseus is a son of Zeus and a legendary Greek warrior. He seeks an audience with the Sisters of Fate to get his dead girlfriend Andromeda back. He received many divine items from several Gods, including the Helmet of Hades, a sword from Hermes and a shield from Athena. Perseus meets his half-brother Kratos in the Hall of Atropos. It wasnt a happy family reunion. Hercules Hercules, a Spartan warrior and also a son of Zeus, became famous after his Twelve Labours. Hercules was an unlockable skin in God of War II, but will make a real appearance in God of War III, where he will side with the Gods of Olympus against Kratos. Theseus Theseus is the son of Poseidon. He killed the dreaded Minotaur of Crete and saved Athens from king Mino. Theseus became a servant of the Sisters of Fate. He received the title of Horse Master and was in charge of the key to the Steeds of Time. He met his end when he refused to give the key to Kratos. Barbarian King This strong leader, in command of more than a thousand barbarians, was able to beat general Kratos and his army, until the latter one called out to Ares. In the end, the Barbarian King proofed to be no match against the Blades of Chaos, and was beheaded by Kratos. The Barbarian King managed to escape from the Underworld and went to seek an audience with the Sisters of Fate, to get revenge on Kratos. However, he found Kratos on the Island of Creation and challenged him again. He was killed by his own giant warhammer. Icarus Icarus was the son of Deadalus, the architect who made the Labyrinth of Crete. Unfortunately, they where both prisoners of the kind of Crete. In order to escape, the clever architect collected wings from birds and waxed them together to make 2 pairs of wings. The duo flew away, but Icarus flew too close to the sun. His waxed wings melted and he plunged into the ocean. Icarus survived the fall, and went to seek an audience with the Sisters of Fate. He fell to his death when Kratos needed Icarus wings. Kratos Wife and Daughter Kratos was married to an unknown Spartan woman. She was Kratos true love and the only person who didnt fear him during service to Ares. Her name hasnt been mentioned yet in the games. They had a daughter, named Calliope. They where both killed by Kratos, while he was blinded by Ares power. Kratos still has nightmares of this day. When Kratos was on a quest to save Helios, the Sun God, he saw Calliope again in the Underworld, and almost followed her to the Elysium Fields. The Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, had an evil plan to destroy the entire world and the Underworld, along with the Elysium Fields. Kratos had to abandon his daughter to save her. The Gorgon Sisters There are three powerfull Gorgon sisters. The Gorgons are snake-like female creatures, who have the power to turn people into stone, by only looking at them. The most well-know Gorgon was Medusa. Her hair was turned into a bunch of snakes by Athena. Aphrodite ordered Kratos to kill Medusa. He did so by beheading her. Euryale was a lot bigger and stronger than her sister Medusa. She lingered in her temple in the Bog of the Forgotten on the Island of Creation. When Kratos stumbled upon her, Euryale wanted to take revenge for the killing of her sister. She also got decapitated by Kratos. The third sister Stheno, has not yet appeared in the games, and it is possible that she will make an appearance in God of War III.

Here are some movie links you can check out: E3 trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36414.html "Epic Scale trailer": http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45514.html Detailed look on the Epic Scale trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/46469.html

OMG! It will be cabbagecaring!

If you count all quests, excluding Learning the Ropes, you will find that it was the 150th quest. However, it appearantly wasn't the planned 150th quest.

I hope this isn't a joke :shock: Of course not. You heard MMG, cabbage is a very serious topic. Indeed it is.

About time someone stepped up against the Gods. I feel like Kratos now

QFC: 15-16-49-58556366

If you mean transparent background: It has been explained well in the first post. I suggest you read that. If you mean white background: use the white filler tool in paint. If you mean something else: please rephrase your question.

Brainy can has pic. ;) So Brainymidget can have a pic that's not taken from the Show equipment stats screen, but Who_am_i can't :?:

And don't forget that we now have Spirit Terrorbirds.

Sounds like it. Very interesting. I don't do tears of Guthix because construction doesn't matter to me at the moment, so I haven't been down there since the quest. You're referring to the Jagex Mod revealing that they're working on a Mahjarrat quest in the Q&A right? If not that was a lucky guess. =D> I hope it's released before this [cabbage] virus program on my pc takes over. Will it be the sequel to WGS? Or to Defender of Varrock? Or will it be about the return of the ALMIGHTY Zaros?

You get a lot of gem drops. Also several dust/earth runes and mystic and normal earth staves. And the Granite Maces ufcourse.

New exp/lap is about 380...

It's more that JAGeX keeps releasing stuff and then nerfing it in less than a week. This has become more of a rule than exception lately. And I don't like it. From Oldak. You need an Adamant C'bow then, for he appareantly doesn't like gold.

The "Generic Human" looks more like an autoer... JAGeX doesn't think very highly about us, don't they.

No... Just No .

That's not Mod MMG :?

This idea is made for f2p...

I liked the course with the 600 exp, but now it's just bad. High fail rate, low exp gain. Back to Ape Atoll...

Nobody knows what it's going to be. Not even the J-mods.

That's what I'm talking about.

I think you'll have to wait 'till after Eater.

I like the fact that there is almost no running involved \

Same here.
