* FirstPersonDyingPerspective: The player experiences each of the blows of the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that [[VillainProtagonist Kratos]] gives to Poseidon from Poseidon's own point of view. In an incomplete variation, the fight ends with Kratos [[EyeScream jamming his thumbs into Poseidon's eyes and blinding him]], turning the screen black, before finishing him off with a NeckSnap shown from a third-person camera angle.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Kratos first asks Hephaestus about the Flame of Olympus, his facial expression completely shifts on a dime, and sharp eyes will notice ''his'' eye twitches slightly as he responds with his own question as to why the Spartan wishes to know about it. He vaguely states Kratos will find the Flame if he can escape the Underworld, which does in fact happen. [[spoiler: This conversation clues him in on the threat Kratos poses to Pandora, which is why he's so unhelpful for the rest of the game until his attempted UriahGambit.]]

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Icarus' Wings alternate between CutsceneIncompetence and CutscenePowerToTheMax in ''III''. At the beginning of the game, Kratos doesn't think about using them before falling into the Styx. But in several cutscenes afterwards he uses them to actually ''fly'', while you can only glide in gameplay. You do get a couple of actual flying segments though, once by using a powerful updraft, and again by skydiving down the same tunnel.
