Question regarding GoW Poseidon's hax

[Kepekley23]

This was brought to my attention by this guy. I am neutral to it myself and won't argue other than answer questions, but I decided to ask whether or not this would be considered a thing.

The Eye of Atlantis is an artifact that is given to Kratos in Ghost of Sparta, and it's stated to be able to destroy both the soul and the body of those who get caught in its blast. This was accepted when it was brought up last time.

The catch is, this artifact is a gift from Poseidon and it apparently channels raw electrical power, an ability of his, in order to function as intended. Its electric blast is even noted to resemble Poseidon's electric attacks as they were portrayed in the Great War.

So, should we scale the Eye of Atlantis's soul destroying ability to Poseidon himself or ignore this detail? If legit, this would scale as a resistance to both Kratos and Atlas, although the latter is very debatable since he was still paralyzed by it in the cutscene

Kratos would scale because there was a flashback near the end of God of War 3 showing him blocking Poseidon's Trident head on without getting affected by its electrical properties.

This seems like it should scale to Seidon here as it is his power. I agree with this.

Can you post a clip of Kratos "resisting" this?

 

[Kepekley23]

Resisting Poseidon's Trident? Sure. Other than the boss fight itself, which is gameplay, he has a flashback where he is seen blocking Poseidon's Trident without beinng incovenienced, despite said Trident being shown several times to be infused with Poseidon's electrical energy.

 

[Sigurd_Snake_in_The_Eye]

The flashback is incredibly vague due to how it is portrayed (no effects), I think possibly?

 

[Kepekley23]

Not really vague, considering it portrays everything else accurately. Such as him claiming Hades's soul, his prison on Ascension (a game released three years later, to boot), him killing his family, and his death at the hands of Zeus. So he did block Final Form Poseidon's Trident.

By vague I mean we can't see the effects on the trident via the flashback,it's the electricity with those effects right?

 

[Kepekley23]

Yes.

However, in the battle itself, everytime Poseidon uses the Trident it releases a charge of his electrical energy, be it gameplay or cutscene.

I'm fine with whatever is decided here tho.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

I'd say its fair to assuming that, if that electricity attacks souls, it would go for Poseidon as well considering the similarity.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

Poseidon should have Matter Manipulation too, since it is just a mere fraction of his power.

By the way:

What would Zeus's feat here constitute as?

Seems like Clairvoyance
