God of War Ragnarok - Combat Tips and Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You!

Not a combat tip per say but the portals that you use to teleport. They refill your health when you open them. So you can open one and close it for full health if you're passing by

You can also change settings so that you can collect items by walking over them rather than constantly having to position yourself and then press 'O' - so much better. You can also change the setting so you can climb walls/jump over barriers without pressing 'O' too. Makes the game so much better.

Dude sound like Owen Wilson

Fun fact, if you go into the Gameplay settings you can make it so you can charge your Chaos Blades by just holding the button like the axe. It’s the setting that changes all tap functions (cut scene stuff and the like) from tap to hold.

For those of you that don’t know you can power up the blades real quick by double tapping L1 with a shield (I prefer dauntless) and hitting triangle right after animation changes on PS5 your controller also gives a different vibration feel. This will instantly power up the flame ability and you can use the R1/R2 ability and with the handle that refills cooldown it works on all your abilities and relics! It’s damn right game breaking!

Also you forgot to mention that you don't have to use a resurrection stone if you go down early in an encounter. It's better to save it and use tactically during tough encounters until you are confident you can finish the fight.

Couple clarifications- Despite not receiving XP or hacksilver for killing enemies in Niefleheim training pit… You do still receive the XP for the labor for completing each skill. Tip with Stonewall Shield … it can only block the yellow parry attack until it’s fully charged (4 hits i believe to fully charge). Once it’s fully charged, the next yellow circle attack will break your guard like any other shield. So just be sure to expend the shield never often with a shield strike whether it’s fully charged yet or not if your fighting enemies that convo quickly… because if they break your guard early in a combo, on higher difficulties you can easily die to a combo of attacks. A correction- you mentioned being able to parry back projectiles… I don’t believe all the shields are able to parry projectiles. I’m pretty sure the Stonewall can only block them, not redirect them.

Press and hold L1 is the best tip I've gotten yet💯

For the challenge where enemies heal rapidly in the crucible, you can use the siphon ability to simply shoot the enemy into the lava pits. You can even move around the smaller enemies if you hold the R2 button to aim them in the pits.

I'm holding out for MILFheim DLC.

Pretty good tips man. Good luck with your channel.

I had no idea about spear siphon ability. Thank you and good luck with your channel <3

Great to see your videos are getting into the algorithm 🎉

You can also use R2 + L1 on nightmares to grab and throw them if you have the chaos blades equipped

I have beaten the main storyline but I still need some advice on combat because I want the defeat all the Draugr holes, berserkers and valkyrie queen so thank you for the time and dedication in making this video.

Thanks, definitely needed these tips.

I upgraded my skills by farming the phantoms. After I defeated one and got the prompt to destroy it I just spammed Skills I needed to get gold.

Thanks god, I'm not the only one who try to tap for parry but this game "just hold it " is more effective.

I can not emphasize this enough but focus on element it's easier to apply burn then switch to any other weapon that has their runic abilities ready to go so you can combo into them for huge damage

Great tips thanks since you mentioned the stonewall shield just wanted to add that if you see two blue rings pop up you can double tap L1 and block the attack every time 😊
