 * 5) During the first phase, the Player has to damage Poseidon's claw-like appendages that are gripping Gaia's head all the while avoiding Poseidon's Lighting Strikes and Claw slams, this provides an intence motive to the Player to not dilly dally on the claws for too long.
 * 6) The incredible epic scene were after dealing enough damage to both claws, Gaia will add Krato's by grabbing a hold of Poseidon with her right hand and slamming Poseidon to a wall.
 * 7) The second part during the first phase of Poseison is SUPER epic as Kratos is fighting Poseison in close-range all the while avoiding Poseidon's arm swips and trident slams.
 * 8) The second/final part after the second/final phase is incredible intence as the Player is given a First Person view of Poseidon in his normal form as Kratos beats him to a pulp and the formal attemps to flee, and to end things off, Kratos littary slams his fingers into Posidon's eyes.
 * 9) The overall boss fight agints Poseidon is super epic and fun.
