How to make a finishing move in God of War?

1. As you attack your enemies, you'll quickly notice that in addition to the melting health strap, you fill the second indicator - the stun level. When the enemy stun bar becomes red, a red circle appears - you can approach the enemy, press the button, and the finishing move will start.
2. The enemy will be defenseless for a few seconds - it's a good idea to use your valuable time to perform the finisher, or simply to continue attacking the beast. Sometimes the finishers are not advisable, because you can inflict more damage on the Ancient one by throwing the axe right into his exposed heart.
