God of War Ragnarök

An action-adventure about Kratos and Atreus crossing the Nine Realms as Ragnarök begins.

Santa Monica Studio · Sony Interactive Entertainment · 25–40 hrs

Difficulty

Kratos and Atreus across the Nine Realms, with Leviathan, Blades, and Draupnir sharing one cooldown-and-relic kit. Berserker gravestones and the remaining ravens are the real endgame, not the last story boss.

Tips

  • Start here

    Recall is a parry

    Leviathan thrown and recalled will intercept a lot of projectiles. Yellow rings are parry, red are dodge; the shield that tries to parry red is how you eat a combo on Give Me God of War.

  • Start here

    Apples and horns cap the bars

    Idunn Apples and Horns of Blood Mead are the HP and rage caps. Lunda, Steinbjorn, and the other armor sets want resources you should not sell from the first Svartalfheim pass.

  • Advanced

    Draupnir detonate in the air

    Plant Draupnir spears, launch, then detonate for an air execution that most elites cannot answer. Relic cancels (Hilt of Hofud realm-shift) turn a heavy combo into a freeze if you fire them mid-string.

  • Advanced

    Atreus is a stun bar

    Tap Atreus to build stun, don't hold for a cinematic shot unless the elite is already staggering. Sonic arrows open the green plates; sigil arrows plus Blades ignite the hex for the actual damage.

  • Secrets

    Berserkers and Gna

    Every Berserker gravestone is a mini-boss with a named trick (the dual-wielders punish greed). Queen Gna in Muspelheim is the fight people mean when they say the game has a real endgame.

  • Secrets

    Ravens and the Nine Realms in Bloom

    The last ravens unlock the Odin raven boss in Niflheim. Flower-picking across realms is a separate armor-stat quest; mark it or you will miss a Svartalfheim bloom behind a late story gate.

  • Bosses

    Thor is a parry teacher

    The first Thor fight is almost entirely yellow-ring timing. Dodge the red hammer slam, parry the rest, and don't empty Spartan Rage as damage if your equipped rage actually heals.

  • Builds

    Cooldown vs strength

    A cooldown amulet with relic spam (realm-shift, Sigil explosions) will out-DPS a pure strength chest on Give Me a Challenge. Socket the amulet enchantments for the set bonus you already started, not for three leftover stats.
