New Pain+ categories have been added for Chains of Olympus and GoW3. This mode has special rules designed to make the game as difficult as possible. While very old as a game mode, it had never been speedran before, until now.

While varying slightly depending on the game, the general Pain+ rules are: Very Hard, glitchless, no upgrades, Blades-only, no items, no magic, no Rage, no chests, no projectile reflects. Exceptions are made when necessary to progress. Check each individual category's rules for more specific information.

We may in the future create Pain+ categories for the other games if there is interest.
