There will also be occasional button mashing, particularly when it comes to getting a Blade of Chaos closer to an enemy, or opening a door. Understand where the prompts are coming from, and you’ll have the system down pat. Practice makes perfect, so don’t get frustrated. If you make a mistake, it’s no big deal – the enemy will knock you down, and you’ll have to repeat the process again once a big glowing circle icon appears over their heads. These should help give you an idea of which button you want to press on the D-pad to coordinate with the on-screen prompts, so you get the timing just right.

When it comes to fending off groups of enemies, there are a variety of moves that Kratos can use to finish them off.
