When playing in Bonus Play, Kratos will begin the game with his Blades and Elemental Powers (Fire of Ares, Ice of Poseidon, Lightning of Zeus and Soul of Hades) in the same power levels they were left when the game was first beaten. The Items (Amulet of Uroborus, Oath Stone of Orkos and Eyes of Truth), however, must be re-acquired through gameplay in the same ways they are acquired in the normal game, but when they are obtained, they are in the same power levels they were left, too. Single Player Bonus Costumes can only be used in this mode, as well as the artifacts ("godly possessions" of Ascension). If an artifact is found during Bonus Play, it can be automatically activated. Trophies are disabled in this mode.
