Deimos (Costume)

The Deimos costume in God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

The Deimos costume was featured as a bonus costume in both Ghost of Sparta and God of War III, each with their own special abilities and setbacks.

God of War Series

Ghost of Sparta

The Deimos costume in Ghost of Sparta is obtained by beating the game on any difficulty level. Damage given if wielding the Arms of Sparta increases, whereas damage given by the Blades of Athena decreases, along with reduced armor values, thus giving the player a more challenging experience.

God of War III

The Deimos Costume as it appears in God Of War III.

The God of War III Deimos costume is much more detailed than the Ghost of Sparta costume, and on the PS3 edition, it originally became accessible by redeeming a code which was provided in a limited number of copies of Ghost of Sparta for PSP, or through online purchase within the first week of its release, and again for a limited time in November 2010. All the codes are now expired, but the costume can still be obtained by purchasing a digital copy of Ghost of Sparta from the PlayStation Store in all European regions. The Deimos costume features increased damage and increases the drop rate of Health, Magic and Gold Orbs by 400%, while decreasing Red Orbs by 100%, effectively rendering the player unable to collect Red Orbs from fallen enemies, only collecting Red Orbs associated with the hit counter. That last attribute prevents the player from fully upgrading the weapons as the amount of Red Orbs collected with the costume is too small and can only be used to upgrade one of the weapons once or twice on a playthrough. The costume, like all the other DLC, is normally available in the Remastered edition of the game on PS4.

Trivia

• In PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, a Deimos costume, worn by Kratos, could be unlocked by pre-ordering the game or buying it off from the PlayStation Store as a standalone DLC or as part of a costume pack. However, it gives no bonuses.
• In God of War III, by activating Helios' Shield in the menu, which triple the number of hit counters, the player can triple the amount of Red Orbs that can be gained in a playthrough while wearing the costume. Killing enemies on a spot where they spawn indefinitely also allows one to collect an unlimited amount of Red Orbs, with one player combining the effects of Helios' Shield, Aphrodite's Garter (so as to be able to use "Divine Reckoning' as magic) and Poseidon's Conch Shell (to have unlimited magic) to collect Red Orbs through the Hit counter more efficiently.
