Toen ik net God of War: Ascension opstarte kreeg ik een patch voor mijn kiezen. Ik had nog niet gezien dat hij was uitgekomen en na wat zoeken kwam ik er achter dat het de fixt is voor het beruchte Trails of Archimedes. Patch notes zijn er niet, maar Santa Monica had er het volgende over te zeggen. Let op: Kan spoilers bevatten.

Though small this 1.03 update may be, we addressed an issue that was preventing some players from progressing past the Manticore battle in Chapter 27. We have also addressed the Trial of Archimedes:

We received extensive feedback from the community that the "Trial of Archimedes" section (Chapter 28) near the end of the game was excessively challenging. In every God of War game, establishing a well-paced difficulty ramp towards the end of the game is paramount to us. Based on player response, the degree of challenge offered here was short of our goal of being perfectly balanced.

In the 1.03 update, at the end of each elevator stage (3 total), players will now receive a measured amount of Green Health Orbs and a nominal amount of Blue Magic Orbs back. This change affects all difficulty levels. We are confident this revision will address feedback regarding "Trial of Archimedes" while still preserving the level of challenge appropriate for this late section of the game.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Good fortunes in your quest to conquer the Trial of Archimedes and complete Kratos' ascension!
