What is the hardest level in God of War Ragnarok? ›

Give Me No Mercy is the game's hard mode and is recommended for those with strong combat skills. Timing parries and blocks become a lot more important than in easier modes, while boss battles will no longer feature checkpoints, meaning that players will need to restart from the very beginning if they run out of health.

Equip the Mystical Heirloom in your Relic slot as you would with any other Relic and activate it with L1+Circle. This does absolutely nothing unless you're near one of the troll statues (or the dragon one in Svartalfheim) and it'll come to life, starting a boss fight!

The Crater is easily the largest area in all of God of War Ragnarök. It's located in the northwest corner of Vanaheim, and you won't be able to see it on the map — let alone get there — until you've really made a dent in the game's main story.

God Of War: How To Defeat Trolls Easily

Occasionally, a well-placed arrow or thrown Leviathan Axe can stagger a troll, leaving them wide open for a more powerful move. Some of the best Leviathan Axe upgrades in God of War can allow Kratos to deal massive damage to trolls, like the Executioner's Cleave.

How old is Kratos in God of War Ragnarök? In God of War Ragnarök, it's likely that Kratos is around 1,055 years old. He's something of an old man, but as a demigod, he is still more than young enough to hold his own and then some in battle. Unfortunately, this is based on maths and educated guesses.

The Elven Cap is found, somewhat unsurprisingly, in Alfheim. Specifically, it's found in The Forbidden Sands, which is the North-Western part of the desert that you can unlock access to from The Barrens using a Runic Slate.

Blodugr Steinn

You'll find a giant troll statue waiting as you cross the first gap after climbing up to enter the ruins. In addition to dropping Slumber Stone, he will also drop the Poison Protector Enchantment, which can help immensely against Seidr or poison minibosses.

The R Rune can be found up on the rocks above the water to the right of the Nornir Chest, covered in Red Fungi Bramble. Set up a chain of Hexes using Sigil Arrows and light them with a Blazing Surge from the Blades of Chaos to destroy the bramble.

God of War Ragnarok secret endings and post-credits scenes

If you speak to Lunda, who now runs the Dwarves' forges, she'll tell you they're saying goodbye to Brok in Svartalfheim. That will start the Favor, A Viking Funeral, which leads you initially to Raeb's Tavern and then Sverd Sands for the funeral proper.

Found in The Sinkholes, the Starblush flower cannot be accessed until you complete the Return of the River Favor in The Jungle, which restores the rivers and opens up more areas to explore.

What is the hardest thing to do in God of War Ragnarok? ›

Players will need to utilize the best equipment in God of War: Ragnarok, as well as the skills they, have learned to battle King Hrolf Kraki. It's a true challenge to fight the Cursed King of the Berserkers, as this will be the strongest of the other foes that players have encountered.

After jumping the gap, you will find the first troll right ahead. Once you get there, press L1+Circle near the troll to wake it up and fight it.

The Mystical Heirloom is used to wake up stone creatures, four of which are trolls located throughout the nine realms who will drop the necessary materials to craft the Steinbjorn armor set, an exceptionally powerful set for those who prioritize defense over anything else.

The Level Cap in New Game + has been increased to Level 10. To reach this, you must upgrade your Armor, Weapon, Weapon Attachment or Shield to Level 9, then convert them at a Dwarven Shop. There are actually four levels to reach: 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, and finally 10.

The best difficulty to select, for most players, will be Balance. This difficulty provides a moderate challenge, where you'll need to take time to learn the combat and think about the gear you're using, without impeding the pace of the overall story.

The recommended Power Level to start Dawn of Ragnarök is 340.
