If you’re tired of having to hit those buttons at the right time during those context battles in God of War 3 for PS3, you can automatically win them all during bonus play if you find Hephaestus’ Ring. To find the ring, look to the left of Hephaestus after you kill him, it should be sitting in a pool of water.
Note that this is a bonus item and can only be used during bonus play, which can be enabled once you beat the game at least once. Turning on bonus play automatically disables trophies.
