    dude don't quit you're almost there. challnege 10 of 10 come on now. it might seem like a lot to accomplish now but think of how good it will feel when you plat this game. i know i love have all the god of war plats and i can't wait to add the new one to the collection as well. stick with it bro. one thing i would suggest is find a new combo. that whole jumping up in the air thing is leaving you open to a lot of little rinky dinky hits that add up quick and take away a lot of life so search your combos and find something that keeps you on the ground unless it pops them up at the end then that cool. that's how i did it at least.

    Leave it a couple of days and then try again. The amount of times I have said that and then been drawn back a few days later, sometimes you smash it 1st time as well :-)

    I know it's hard, but if I did it you also are able to do it!

    That challenge was complete crap. It made me rage so hard. But like everyone has said just take a break from it for a while. Then go back to it. Tottenham is right. There have been plenty of times I quit working on something, just to pop it back in in the morning and beat it first try.

    Don't stop! I was in your shoes a few years back. I couldn't pass challenge 10, and quit. I went back the next morning and beat every challenge one try. You just need to rest and retry. I find I'm often better at games after I break from them a while.

    Don't quit on it. I had issues myself with all the challenges until I realise it will come. There's a lot of good, bad and cheesy strategies but they work.

    Ugh, this challenge took forever when I got the platinum. I think it took me around 30min-1 hour to beat this challenge alone.

    It's tough, but really not that bad. Don't give up and maybe just take some breaks

    Don't quit man. I know the rage you feel here. Just keep going and you'll get it. Then laugh at the game as you see the Plat pop.

    Like everyone has said/ Don't give up. Come back to it and you'll get it. Yes challenge 10 is hard but it is very doable. I like others have taken a break and went back to a game only to beat it.

    Here's what I do when I get in situations like that (in fact, challenge 10 was one of them): First thing I do is take a break and smoke a joint, bowl, oney, bong hit, basically smoke whatever you got and I think to myself 3 things

    1. You are better than this game and you're going to prove it
    2. You only have to get it right once
    3. You already know how the story ends, it's just a matter of time before that plat is yours

    If you believe all 3 things and smoke a huge fatty and take a little break, victory will be yours! (as well as the munchies) Also, you're gonna wanna use a different strategy on the big guys because that downward thrust move kills the dogs but it doesn't damage the big guys and it leaves you vulnerable to attack. I recommend that combo where you lift your enemy and do the buzzsaw looking move (I forget what it's called, sorry) and then if you find yourself on the ground, parry. Good luck bro you can do it.

    That challenge was bs to say the least. But it is completely do-able, the first thing you need to do is find another combo. The one you're using is a) leaving you open to be hit and b) it's self defeating because it's too much motion and not enough contact on the enemies.

    As everyone said, don't give up.
    That pissed me off for a while, even after watching youtube videos.
    I left it for a few days, came back to it and beat it on my second try

    I honestly didn't expect this response at all but i really appreciate all the support guys i really do... Honestly though I feel like over the course of a few hours i tried all the strats... square square and hold square.... L1 + X to throw them up and L1+X in air to buzz saw...but hopefullywith some rest and patience I will be able to give it another go sometime soon....

    Dead Space ( Don't be Cocky ) comes to mind... that game has been 98% done on my checklist for almost 2 years now because i gave up on that trophy

    The only good part about challenge 10 is that the enemies are in the same place every time, unlike "Don't get Cocky Kid" which is up to a lucky spread of asteroids.
