Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and features series protagonist, Kratos, and his teenage son, Atreus. It is the ninth installment in the series, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-gen release in the God of War series. Weapons will fall from downed foes, so if there’s a weapon that you enjoy using (we love the hammer) then target the enemy carrying it first so you can steal it from him.God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Each secondary weapon has a super attack, executed by a trigger and button press, so you can do cool things like send spears raining down from the sky on opponents. There’s also hammers and swords that can be picked up from low-level enemies. Spears are great to use from a distance and shields can be used to block or ram opponents. Pressing ‘O’ will activate your secondary weapon. Grab their shields and tap on ‘O’ to prize them from their grasp. The chain grapple is perfect for pulling the shields away from goat-men (Satyrs) to leave them vulnerable. You can swing them around an Olympic hammer thrower to smash other enemies out of the way and keep one at bay by tethering him to a chain while you dish out punishment to the others. Grapple enemies with R1 and then toss them around the arena. Kratos’ dual blade is an impressive tool of mass destruction, but his chain grapple can be more devastating if used correctly. Unless you’re up against a particularly slow enemy and can move around the arena seeing off the small guys, go for the big dude first as he’ll be the one who’ll cause you the most damage if he gets a clean hit.ĭon’t underestimate the power of the chain grapple These are the guys that will do the most damage so you want to try and get rid of them first. Use this manoeuvre to target the bigger enemies in the group. You can now pick them up and use them as a battle ram to clear space. Look out for the white symbol above the head of enemies while they’re down. This can quickly clear an area and give you breathing space, as can using the new kick action to knock enemies across the screen. Don’t forget your RAGE power, activated with the R2 button. You’ll often be in a situation where you’re surrounded by enemies. There isn’t really that much need to switch between the various weapons so put all your orbs towards your weapon of choice and tranform it into an all-conquering, freak-slaying beast.

Keep an eye on your orb counter in the top left-hand corner of the screen. Also, look out for spears lying around and use your ranged attack to get a few sly hits from a safe distance.Ĭollecting red orbs will allow you to power-up your weapons, so explore all areas in order to find hidden chests containing this precious commodity. Learn the counter-attacking moves for each weapon (press START and INSPECT weapon) and use them regularly. Block an attack, then make your move while your enemy is composing himself. Blocking is crucial, so don’t always try and string combos together as you’ll get caught out. Time your attacks when your foe is vulnerable by watching their behavioural patterns.
In this case, getting out the way is key to your survival so evade and wait for the blast circle to disappear. If you’re in it, you’re either going to get hit, or you won’t be able to penetrate this shield. Some of the tougher enemies have a blast circle which will appear on screen.
