God of War: Island of Rhodes “not pron” puzzle site reveals… what exactly?

Bloody hell. After all the speculation regarding the mysterious countdown timer in the God of War website “Island of Rhode” a few weeks back, it turns out that it was nothing but a false alarm. At least, that’s what everyone believed at first. As QJ reader Dave points out (thanks for the tip!), Pro-G reports that the countdown has already finished and the Island of Rhodes site is now open with – no, not info for the PSP version – but goodies for God of War II for the PS2. Videos and a wallpaper. Yay.

Recent developments though have led a lot of fans on a wild goose chase across the mysterious website because apparently, there are hidden content in the site. Someone from the GameFAQs forums was able to take a crack at it, and gave a walkthrough of how you could achieve two things: 1) the secret to unlocking HD mode in God of War II, and 2) another countdown timer that hints at the next God of War game.

No one seems to know where all this leads, but speculation points at either more info on the PSP GoW title, or maybe even one for the PS3! Click the Full Article link below to learn more.

Kotaku was able to flesh out the details: at the first page, just skip the videos and click Proceed. This will lead you to a page with some text and a colossus in the background. In this page, you’d have to spell out KRATOS by finding little Greek letters hidden around the page.

• Kappa (under iota, middle right)
• Rho (upper left corner)
• Alpha (bottom right, left of soldier’s waist)
• Theta (under upsilon)
• Omega (upper right)
• Sigma (bottom right, by soldier’s foot)

Once done, click Proceed again, and it’ll lead you to more videos. Click Proceed to skip them if you want, which will then lead you to a slider puzzle. Took me about thirty minutes to get through that. Jeezus, I suck at these things. And once you’re through, you’re in page with more vids where you can click Proceed (again). Do so, and you’re in a page with Roman numerals at the bottom. This is basically as far as I’ve gotten, but Kotaku gives us a glimpse of what lies beyond:

Above the countdown is an image that’s slowly revealing itself as time progresses. And while I still can’t crack past the Roman numerals page, this is all we have for now. A “G” (possibly the start of “God of War”) and a “CH” under it (possibly the start of what could be the full title of the next God of War game).

A lot of people have been speculating, and most point out that, yes, as the countdown progresses, we’d eventually find out the full title for the next GoW game. However, the question is… would it be the one for the PSP? Or, what a lot of people are hoping for, a God of War 3 for the PS3?

My guess: God of War: Charmander and the Ding-dong Daddies of Doom. Huwhat?! Hey, I’m trying here! Well, any suggestions are welcome. Meanwhile, I still have to get cracking with the Roman numerals, and as soon as that’s done, maybe we can post an updated pic of the counter.
