Amulet of the Fates / Outer Garden Battle
Here is a trick to evade damage while dealing it in the Outer Gardens battle!
When you reach the scene with the Fate Statue and behead it, in the Outer Gardens several wraiths and bats will attack.
Bypass all of them without attacking, evade damage, and with a powerful combo (or Rage enabled) smash them AND the statue head blocking the exit. The head will disappear leaving your path free and the enemies cannot follow Kratos.

If you have received damaged while escaping, just heal with the chest on the other side. If you don't want to continue fighting then just leave them behind. If you still want blood and gore, return to the "bridge" side of the door. Cross into the actual Gardens room and you're free game, so be aware. Make powerful short-range attacks and most of the enemies won't get any hits through to you.

*** A wraith may attempt it's underground attack from the other side of the door, but you can still evade it and it will return to the other side of the doorway while you remain safe.

(You can also grab it when it comes out of that attack and beat it silly before sending it back through the door to the garden.)

The Urn of Gaia
The Urn of Gaia is located on the Colossus level right before you see the Colossus' eye through the window. The Urn of Gaia is at the 1st block moving puzzle where there are a series of rooms and metal doors you need to open. First you have to destroy the statue on top of the moving block. Then when you get into the next room where there are doors on all sides of you, go into the room on your right while pushing the block. Push it all the way down the hall and then jump on top of it to access 2 blood chests and the urn of gaia.

The Urn of Olympus
After you obtain the Spear of Destiny, grab the Statue of Fate (time slowing); and push it down the stairs. From there, push it to the edge of the water from the pathway you came. After you've done that, get to the other side of the path by running and swimming through the water.
Once you are on the other side, slow time (L1 + R1), but make sure you're in a straight line from the statue so you can activate the slowing of the time. Once the time is slowed, hurry up and backtrack to the large button floor, cross the water that is in the way by grappling it using R1.

THE EASIEST WAY TO RETRIEVE THE 20 CYCLOPS EYES
When you pass the great chasm there is an area where you fight the little monsters that summon cyclopses and thefire archers . The fire archers keep coming back until you kill all the other enemies(mentioned before) , don't mind them.The most important thing in
that YOU DO NOT KILL THE CYCLOPS SUMMONERS!Just press CIRCLE to take the summoners off the cyclopses and attack the cyclopses using the SQAIRE button .
Keep doing this until a circle appears on top of the cyclops ,press the circle button and
press the following wanted buttons .Then you retrieve an eye , repete the whole thing
sometimes more to take the 20 cyclops eyes in the end.

The Outer Garden
Once you knock of the Fate statues head, you will look to the left and right next to the head. There will be a blood orb case and a feather case. Go into the garden. Two monsters will pop up. You can either fight them(go up to them and press circle) or run away. To do this, slow down time. Run up to the fate head blocking the way and break it. Get away without ever having to fight the monsters.

"I'm Death, destroyer of words" in the sky and extra red orbs
Hall of Atropos - Upper Level - Do this AFTER the fight with Perseus. You are outside after defeating Perseus. Go back inside through the upper left door. Once in the chamber jump up on the ledge against the back wall but don't go out on the balcony just yet. To the left of the exit, in a dark area where it's pretty difficult to see there is a small star on the ground. Stand on the star and hit R1 a few times (though once is enough). Now run outside on the balcony. Around the corner to your right and under a window there is a second star on the ground. Stand on the star and hit R1 a few times (again, once is enough). Now keep going and quickly grapple across to get over the other side of the roof. Run around the corner and go all the way to the pressure switch, stand on the switch to activate the roots walkway. When the roots are nearly fully extended slow time with the Amulet of the Fates and quickly run across. Once on the center platform you will see the third star on the ground by the first tree. Hit R1 and the camera angle will shift and the following message will appear in the sky: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." As the message slowly appears in the sky a few thousand red orbs will also be given to you by the tree you are standing next to.

The Urn of gaia
The urn of gaia:
at the start when you reach the eagle cube kind of thing, the 1 when you have to put it on that circle to bring up the door but you hold X and kick it forward and then stand on the circle to make the door go up and then roll with the left analog rolling it forward then grab the eagle cube and and then theres another hallwy at the bottom there are three chests on a high ledge smash the eagleon top of the cube then push it forward(sorry for saying forward so much.) Jump on the cube and leap on the high ledge the urn of gaia is in the middle of it

Easy cyclops eyes
Go to challenge of the titans and do challenge #1 beat it go to challenge select and repeat the process and you should have 20 cyclops eyes and general kratos alternate costume.

Super spin attack
When fighting enemy just activate the Rage Of The Titan and press square and then hold square again and it will be a super spin attack.

Sex Mini-Game Extra Health and Red Orbs
A little while into the area of Rhodes, the first area of the game, you will drop down into a bath-house/sauna type area. Instead of continuing and diving down, jump out of the water onto the area around it. There should be two screens which are breakable. Behind one of the screens are two topless women. By walking up to them and pressing the circle button, you initiate the sex mini-game in which you complete a series of button presses. When you have won, you will receive a large amount of red orbs and some green orbs. You can only receive the orbs once, however you may play the mini-game as much as you'd like.

Instead of using the Head Of Euryale to kill five enemies by turning them to stone and shattering them, use Cronos' Rage to get a one million hit combo.
# Urns

Urn Of Gaia: This Urn is found in Rhodes (the first level). Take the stone block that you push with the golden bird on top, which you need to first break to get some Red Orbs, and push it between Kratos and the gate. While Kratos is on the button to open the gate, kick the block to the other side and then quickly roll under the gate. Then, push the block to the right and you will see three chests on a ledge in the background. Push the block to that area and double jump, then lift yourself up. This Urn allows you to gain ten times the number of Orbs than normal.

Urn Of the Gorgons: After you get the Golden Fleece, backtrack to the conveyor belt with the Gorgon eye things that turn you to stone, then reflect the beam back at them. There will be three chests, one of which holds the Urn. This Urn enables your weapons to turn enemies to stone.

Urn Of Olympus: Near the area where you get the Spear of Destiny, take the time slowing statue and push it near the waters edge from where you first came. Try to make it so you can start the time slowing from the other side of the pool. Then, press R1 across the other pool and roll into the room where the Urn is located. This Urn gives you unlimited magic.

Urn Of Prometheus: This Urn is found in Atlas. When hanging from his underarm, you have to break two stalactites to continue, but there is also another one you can break. Break it and then follow the hole up to find a red chest and the Urn. This Urn gives you unlimited Rage Of The Titans.

Urn Of Fates: Successfully complete Challenge Of The Titans mode with a "Mortal" or better rank. This Urn extends your allotted combo meter time so you can perform higher combos.

Urn Of Poseidon: Successfully complete Challenge Of The Titans mode with a "Spartan" or better rank. This Urn allows you to exchange Crono's Rage with Poseidon's Rage.

# Gifts

Gift of Health: When you get to the area where the second translator jumps off the ledge to avoid reading the book, place the fate statue by the gate at the end of the hall. Go through the mirror that rewinds time, freeze time, then roll back to where the statue was originally. Open the chest that is now there to get the Gift of Health.

Gift of Magic: When you are almost to the area where you have to burn the Phoenix feathers (the part where you are climbing on the rope over the lava and enemies shoot the rope down and you must climb on the wall and then ceiling to get to the next place), as soon as you turn the corner, where you have to jump over the lava and fly, take out the bow instead and shoot the wall below a few times and it will open, revealing the Gift of Magic.

# Hidden mini-game

Part way through Rhodes (the first level), you will drop down into a bath house/sauna type area. Instead of continuing and diving down, jump out of the water onto the area around it. There should be two screens which are breakable. Behind one of the screens are two topless women. If you walk up to them and press Circle, a sexual mini-game will begin where you must complete a series of button presses. Once you complete the mini-game, you will get Red and Green Orbs. You only get the Orbs once however, you can play the mini-game as many times as desired.

# Hidden cover art

Slip the cover sheet out of the game's case and look at the back to find alternate cover art.

# Easy Orbs

Immediately after you defeat Euryale, you will get unlimited magic to use with your new skill. To complete this part of the game, you must kill five enemies by turning them to stone and shattering them. However, if you face the rear wall and position yourself directly in front of the center spawn, you can cast Cronos' Rage, roll right, cast it again, roll back to the left two times, cast it again, and repeat. You can build up massive combos by doing this to get lots of Orbs. Once you get a 2,000 hit combo, break the combo off (do not cast for about four seconds) and start again. You will get over 1,500 Orbs for each 2,000 hit combo.

To get a lot more Red Orbs easily, upgrade the Blade Of Olympus to level 2. Then, hold L1 + Circle to use the shield the blade emits and suck in Red Orbs from live enemies. Once they have been drained, kill them to get more.

# Easy Cyclops Eyes

Each time Challenge 1 in Challenge Of The Titans mode is successfully completed, you will get one Cyclops Eye. You can repeat this as many times as needed.

Unlock the Arena Of The Fates, then make three Cyclops and have them respawn and not attack to get twenty Cyclops Eyes quickly.

When the Bowmen (little penguin-like creatures with axes) call the Cyclops with their horn, just kill the Cyclops and not the Bowmen. After you rip the Cyclops' Eye out, the Bowmen will call another Cyclops. You can keep doing this until you get all twenty Cyclops Eyes.

# Using the Golden Fleece

Once you get the Golden Fleece from the Cursed Cerberus, you can use it to block and reflect enemy attacks by pressing L1 at the precise moment. However, if you continually press L1 as fast as possible, you will usually block and return most attacks.

# Protecting the Translator

This trick is especially useful on the God or Titan difficulty setting. During the part where you must protect the Translator from the three waves of enemies, there is a way you can do it a little easier. For the first two wave of enemies (the waves before the part when Kratos drops the Translator and kneels beside the book), you can hide behind the cage and hit the enemies, taking minor or no damage. Once you grab him and walk out the cage for the first time, there will be an intermission sequence that releases the first set of enemies. Go back in the cage and pull the boulder off the switch. Then, use the Hammer's L1 attack in the air or L1 + Triangle to hit enemies with the Hammer's attack wave. Once the first set of enemies is over, walk towards the middle to activate the second set. Take your time. Once you see the enemies appear, run back behind the cage and pull the stone off again. Repeat the same process and you should be able to avoid getting hit.

# Defeating Theasus

Use the following trick during the second part of the battle with Theasus. When he is on the roof and summons creatures to attack you, lead them around until he summons up ice pillars. Then, roll to avoid them but make sure the beasts get caught underneath when the ice pillars are summoned. By doing this, they will get hurt and eventually killed.

At lv5, it will be as powerful as the barbarian hammer, but much faster and more combos can be hit. Next, the barbarian hammer, then, spear of destiny. For magical upgrades, first- medusa's(i don't know the creep's name properly) head-it comes early. Then, atlas's quake. Its a real treat. then chronos rage/ typhon's bane...if you've done as i've mentioned then Zeus will be child's play.
