Tag: God of War Ragnarok

Keeping track of every side quest and favor in God of War Ragnarok is no simple thing, so we’ll take you through how to compelte one of the game’s more complex side quests, Cure for the Dead. Completing it will get you a nice Amulet Enchantment, making you more powerful than ever, so it’s worth going out of your way to pick this one up.

Muspelheim in God of War Ragnarok is quite similar to the version of the realm from the 2018 game. In this land of fire and stone, you’ll be able to face down a series of optional combat challenges that can earn you some of the best armor in the game. However, like last time, before you can get there you need to unlock it. Rather than finding travel runes, in Ragnarok, you must find the two halves of the seed. 

We’ll tell you where you can find both halves, so you can start blasting your way through these challenges.

If you want to dig into the very depths of God of War Ragnarök and unearth everything it hides within, you’ll need to find and destroy all of Odin’s spectral ravens. In the first game, slaughtering all of them just got you an achievement, but the rewards for completing the Eyes of Odin quest are far more substantial this time around.

There are 48 to find across the realms, and we’ll show you where each one is waiting.

Althjof’s Rig is quite a complex area in God of War Ragnarok, as you’ll be going back and forth a lot trying to make progress, especially if you want to get all the chests and secrets along the way. It’s a multi-layered puzzle that will ask you to use a lot of the mechanics you’ve learned so far, which can make it a little confusing. Still, never fear, as we’re here to help you along with the solution, pointing out all the goodies you can grab along the way.

The Hilt of Gram is a powerful relic in God of War Ragnarök that you’ll want to get your hands on sooner rather than later. It grants you a burst of rage that stuns nearby enemies, making it perfect for crowd control. You can find it in the Temple of Light, but there’s every possibility you can miss it if you’re not paying attention, so we’ll tell you exactly what steps to take to get it.

Treasure maps are a rare find in God of War Ragnarök, but they don’t make it easy to find their loot. Like any good fantasy treasure map, it comes with a riddle and an extremely unhelpful drawing of its location, so you may need a helping hand to show you were the treasure is. We’ll tell you just that, so you can get your hands on the loot inside.

God of War Ragnarok is already one of the highest-rated games of 2022, sitting at an incredible 94 on reviews aggregate Metacritic. However, director Eric Williams was pretty worried about its reception not long before launch.

During an interview with GQ, Williams spoke at length about how the development team stays motivated. Particularly with fan expectations sky-high after God of War‘s brilliant revival in 2018.

“When you work with people that are at the apex of what they do, you’re going to get magic,” Williams said. “I just came from a room with those people. All I could say to them was, ‘Thank you.’ They were freaking out three months ago, ‘Holy crap, the game’s not good. What are we going to do?’ I can’t even imagine how they feel today. I wish I had a time machine to go back and feel like that.”

It turns out that God of War Ragnarok is pretty good, much to the surprise of nobody (aside from Sony Santa Monica’s staff, it seems).

He also went into some detail as to why this saga is only two games rather than a trilogy. Apparently, the team had no trouble readjusting narrative bits for a two-parter.

“In terms of the story, it didn’t scale back at all,” Williams explains. “That was something we [100 percemt] believed and the team believed in, and we pushed as hard as we could. Some things got readjusted and reconfigured for pacing.”

GLHF has many guides for God of War Ragnarok up already, including general tips and a chapter breakdown.

God of War Ragnarok is out tomorrow, and as is often the case with big-budget games, there’s an update waiting for anyone looking to explore Niflheim.

On Tuesday, Sony Santa Monica released the day one patch for God of War Ragnarok. The official patch notes list more than 200 bug fixes and gameplay tweaks – pretty much what we all come to expect whenever huge titles launch. We’ll avoid many of the details since there are spoilers for quests, creatures, and abilities within. Just know it’s a must-download for anyone looking to play the game.

“We strongly encourage you to download this patch to ensure you have the best possible experience when you play on [Nov. 9, 2022],” Sony Santa Monica said on Twitter.

There are numerous performance improvements as well, particularly with regard to crashes that occur during certain questlines. Sony Santa Monica stresses that these were quite rare, to begin with, and GLHF didn’t encounter anything game-breaking during our review either. So you’re likely safe either way – but it’s probably best to follow the developer’s instructions.

There’s no denying that the hype for God of War Ragnarok is almost palpable. Fans are going wild, and who can blame them – this game has been many years in the making.

After an agonizingly long wait, God of War Ragnarok is out in mere hours from now. Heck, it might already be out, depending on where you live. Keep an eye on the clock, friends.

It’s no secret that God of War Ragnarok is one of 2022’s biggest games. Critics certainly love it, and fans likely will too — at least, the hype on social media suggests as much. Yes, Ragnarok-fever has taken over and probably won’t die down anytime soon. Below are some of the best, funniest, and wildest reactions to God of War Ragnarok‘s impending release. Some said this day would never come – what are they to say now?

[mm-video type=video id=01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra/01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra-0e9c4edd47d1a2d2f38aae8fcd82c40c.jpg]

One of God of War Ragnarok’s many puzzles, the Jarnsmida Pitmines puzzle has a lot of steps to it, so we’re here you walk you through all of them.

Start by boosting Atreus up onto the higher platform and you’ll jump across to where a level is. Push Square to command him to pull it and a platform will drop that lets you jump across. The problem is it won’t stop moving, but luckily there’s and exposed gear nearby that’ll let you freeze the platform in place.

[mm-video type=video id=01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra/01ghbkha03gkyz0rghra-0e9c4edd47d1a2d2f38aae8fcd82c40c.jpg]

Get onto the next platform and you’ll need to use your blades to pull on a grapple point and rotate a trough, which will raise a concrete block that’s preventing you from moving on.

Drop down past the block before getting up onto the next platform and you’ll see the trough has water flowing out of it. Use your ax to freeze the water and stop it from flowing. A concrete block will be lowered into place so you can grapple onto it. Once you’re on top, recall your axe and let the water raise you up. Here you’ll be able to reunite with Atreus just past a gate.

Go to the other side and you’ll need to move some carts out of the way. Once you do, Sindri will show up and give you a light source, which you’ll need to progress. You can enter the mines from here, but you’ll want to grab the Kvasir’s Poem and other goodies nearby first.

As you’re about to enter the mines you’ll be attacked, but they shouldn’t give you too much trouble. Once they’re out of the way, head over to what you moved the cart and you’ll find a grapple point. Using it will turn a water trough, which in-turns spins a crane around.

There’s some debris nearby with an explosive jar next to it. Throw your ax to blow it up and clear the way, then head back the way you came – as far as the gate where you met Atreus after the earlier puzzle. You’ll now be able to hook on the block of concrete you used to lift you up before. After you’ve done that, freeze the water flow once more and watch the crane turn again. It will now reveal the Kvasir’s Poem and other loot.
