AKheon | God of War - swimming into CoP from the back (wasted potential) @AKheon | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Just an old idea I tried to make into reality. I was curious if you could swim into Challenge of Poseidon through the exit and reach Trident early from there.
First, you have to start early swimming glitch at the Rings. Then, swim into Challenge of Poseidon through the underground tunnel. The loading zone always places Kratos back in bounds when you enter the new map, which is a problem.
To go out of bounds in Challenge of Poseidon, leave the elevator ride at a specific point to clip out of bounds. From here, you can freely try to swim backwards through the entire Challenge... unfortunately it seems that nothing will be loaded beyond this room.
I tried a few different routes, even swimming very close to level boundary, but I couldn't get the previous areas to load. It makes sense, since this room is normally one-way and the developers never intended for the player to swim back deeper into the Challenge from here. So it seems this skip idea cannot work.
1:20 - some sightseeing. Checking out the large statue up close.
1:59 - there are also two objects floating in the void outside the Temple of the Eye.
