God of War 1 - No Damage/No Block+/PAIN Clone War 

I don't know about "best", but gracias, amigo.

@@MrWright De nada.

@@adrianshephard22 I know I said I wouldn't return to speedrunning, but while doing some testing, I got a really good start, so I said "Hell, why not". And I've improved my time yet again.

@@MrWright INSANE man You made me drop the jaw AGAIN You really deserve a rest from GoW1

@@adrianshephard22 Indeed. I'll return someday, likely to do runwork for GoWII. Then other side runs (NBR+, NGR+) for GoW1, and maybe a ZMD run.

I recall that issue happening, but I don't remember how to fix it. The closest solution I can think of is to select the "reset from checkpoint" option a couple of times. You'd probably get the chains afterwards, but not the Blades, but you can still hit stuff with them. This should be either fixed by itself in a later challenge, or you could keep resetting until they're back to normal. Once that happens, you shouldn't have to do that again (at least until you clear CotG).

@@MrWright >Keep resetting I reset it 50 times and nothing is happening.

Okay then, change the Blades to Lv 2. Replace the last digit of the code I gave you (should be a zero) to an '1'. Get back to the game. After that, replace said '1' with a zero again to get the Lv 1 Blades back.

@@MrWright Thank you Wright changing the blades to level 2 and then reverting back to level 1 fixed it. I have one more thing to ask, Do you have a cheat code that forces the Blade of Artemis to level 1?

@@Snxggy1 Yes, but that will have to wait for tomorrow.
