God of War 3. bug 1

-BUG 1-

Here in God of War 3 I am battling my way toward the top of Cronos. I have reached a part where Cronos tries to smash me with his hand.

-Objective 1- Avoid the shadowed areas to dodge being smashed by Cronos's hand. Once Cronos misses and grabs his own arm, jump onto the side of his finger, climb up, and kill the skeleton enemy. Cronos will then try to blow Kratos off of his hand with a strong gust of wind from his mouth.

-Objective 2- Block the gust of wind and activate the timed option to swing back onto his hand to avoid being blown away.

Instead of killing the skeleton enemy, I continued to run down Cronos’s finger and toward his wrist. Once I passed Cronos’s knuckle I got stuck on top of the second part of his finger and slid off of the side of it. I respawned exactly where I fell from and was not able to get back to the original section of Cronos’s finger (where the skeleton was). That’s where the video starts. Kratos is pretty small due to the perspective of the camera angle but I made efforts to show where Kratos’s position was in the video by jumping.

-If I try walking back toward the original part of Cronos’s finger Kratos will act as if he is falling with his hands in the air, legs spread to shoulder length, and looking down. Meanwhile, Kratos is still on top of Cronos’s finger. Also, Kratos shakes while his hands are in the air and begins to gravitate toward the edge of Cronos’s finger and then slides off the side of the finger.

-If I try walking toward Cronos’s wrist Kratos will fall straight through Cronos’s hand and die.

-If I try jumping onto the finger to the left Kratos will remain in the position of falling and slide right off of the other finger.

-If I try activating the timed animation that allows me to swing back onto Cronos it fails and Kratos falls to his death.

The way I have found to get out of this problem is to blind Cronos with the head of Helios. Cronos will Swing his hands back toward his face which frees Kratos and the game can be continued.
