Basic weapons

Those who played Kratos and Atreus’ previous adventure will be familiar with Kratos’ two iconic weapons, the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos.

Leviathan Axe

Gifted to him by his late wife Laufey, the Leviathan Axe is a mighty, magical weapon. Imbued with the power of frost, the Leviathan Axe is not only able turn enemies to ice in battle, it can also be used to freeze running water on contact and lock mechanisms in place.

Blades of Chaos

A relic of Kratos’ violent past among the Ancient Greek pantheon, the Blades of Chaos are a pair of ferocious, chained blades. The Blades of Chaos can channel fire, setting enemies ablaze, cutting through steel like butter, and setting off eruptions.

Light and heavy attacks

Whether you’re wielding the Blades of Chaos, Leviathan Axe or your bare fists, there are two main attack buttons for Kratos: the ‘light’ attack (R1 by default) and ‘heavy’ attack (R2 by default). Each triggers different attacks and combos suited to different situations.

Light attacks

Light attacks are the fastest way to deal damage in God of War Ragnarök. These attacks have a limited wind-up, but as a result they pack less punch. You’ll be less likely to interrupt enemies with light attacks, but your rapid strikes can move the momentum of battle in your favor.

Heavy attacks

Heavy attacks draw on far more of Kratos’ god-like strength, so they take much longer to wind up. Though the blows are more devasting when they do land by doing massive damage and potentially staggering enemies, they also take longer to pull off which can leave you vulnerable.

Ranged attacks

When holding down L2, you’ll place Kratos into ‘aim’ mode, which will activate ranged attacks for whichever weapon you’re holding.

Leviathan Axe

The Leviathan Axe has two ranged attacks – light and heavy. If you press the R1 button whilst holding L2, Kratos will throw the axe laterally, perfect for fast and precise throws – whether that's a trip or a headshot. If you press R2, however, he’ll throw it vertically – a throw that’s good for embedding into and freezing enemies in place. Once thrown, you can recall the axe with the ‘Triangle’ button – time it right and you might even be able strike an enemy from behind as the axe returns.

Blades of Chaos

As with the Leviathan Axe, the Blades of Chaos have two ranged attacks. The ‘light’ attack (R1) launches a single blade out in a whipping motion, pulling the enemy towards you, while a ‘heavy’ attack (R2) causes Kratos to spear an opponent with the blades and send fire humming down the chains toward them.

Runic attacks

Both the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe can harness special Runic abilities, activated by holding the ‘block’ button (L1) and pressing the ‘light’ (R1) or ‘heavy’ (R2) attack buttons. These can unleash a whole range of different attacks based on which Runes you have equipped and often unleash powerful elemental techniques.
