You are missing the best axe pommel in the game... It’s a secret one that requires you to do a puzzle by standing on the Musphelheim tower in Midgard and looking at Tyr’s temple in different directions.. If you look it up you can find it I’m sure. I think it’s called Forgotten Grip Of The Ages, and once you fully upgrade it in new game plus it gives a stat boost of 20 to every stat but it also adds a concussive wave of energy as a finisher to your R1 attack combo..
The new game+ tyrs armor is probably the best one in terms of runic strength and defense once fully upgraded with your enhancements balanced between the enhanced and non enhanced stats...this is a bad ass armor.. And the cod of war+ fully loaded is nice to because you damn near cant be hurt (when added to the talisman of kvsair thing)when picking up items in the midst of battle (Valkeries) it helps
Ares rage build is the most powerful (after zeus's build of course). Ares armour maxed out and Talisman of Eternal Fury maxed out is hands down one of the best builds in the game. Finished my 3rd NG+ playthrough (yes 3rd), all GMGOW from the very first playthrough and Ares is the way to go if you want to have real fun with rage. But as you said, if you don't like rage, then Valkyrie and Brimstone sets make powerful builds as well
Zeus's armor is the best armor for god of war + difficulty. Every enemy can kill you in a single attack so dealing more damage is amazing for you. Especially against bosses
If you want 200 in vitality without sacrificing any of your other stats you can but you're gonna have to grind for a while, how you do it is to farm the yggdrasil dews in every new game +.
That’s the way my friend, just start a ng+ and don’t bother picking anything up and just run……. Once Mimir blows the horn get in a boat and pick the 11 Dew drops there is one in the previous level Alfheim giving u a total of 22 points. Not like Ragnarok where u have to finish ‘realms of war’ at the end 👍
Big Splash on the Cod of War tunic actually does a considerable amount of damage. It did a sizable amount to Valkyries when I had it on, before switching to Zeus and Ares armor. I think the damage might be linked to the Runic stat. Also, it sounded like you changed your distance to your mic throughout the video. The inconsistency was annoying.
@@brantonliamm5486 It's COD OF WAR. It's a reference to a costume you can wear on NG+ on GOW 1 and 2 for PS2, where you wear a codfish costume. If you look closely, the armor on this PS4 GOW appears to be made of fish scales.
Testing out the cod of war armor Fighting the dragon in the campaign earlier and at a certain stage it drops about five health stones below its throat and next to it's hands, I was quick enough and drained about 80% of its health on normal difficulty. I haven't really found a use for it in normal combat because I find myself more focused on the enemy than I do looking for a health stones but I feel like it would come in more handy if I were on a higher difficulty and constantly healing during fights
5:22 Big help. I was picking up rage when stomping on the health stones but didn't know why. Then I totally changed my gear, enchantments, and talisman and lost the ability to pick up rage. Now I know why, thanks!!
Cod of war armor in my opinion is the best armor for those who value vitality at full upgrade its will help so much on the valkyrie battles my opinion on talisman is talisman of vitality with this armor enchantments are up to you but that armor n talisman should work great to that armor
Thanks for sharing your videos, they hot some great tips. I just Completed the NG+ on Hard mode last night and it was so cool to do it, but Im yet to defeat the Valikie Queen which was scary af, I was doing no dmg, so I will apply your tips and tricks to increase stats and proper use of Talismans and stuff... thank you
If only Kratos brought back more old weapons other than the og blades, like giving Atreus Kratos' old bow, running around with Hermies' boots, the wings, Hercules' gauntlets, etc. If only
Hey I have an important question. Is Heart of Svartalheim enhancement important? I'm playing GOw Mode and I have max stats but am trying to keep my luck at 100. Should I equip this or use a different one like Logi's Fiery Shard/ Aurvandals fiery shard to boost my blades (meaning I would have to switch my runic attacks for blades but w.e) How useful is the health regen. Just sub'd please reply. Im currently in mu playthrough
Its so hard for me to actually justify doing new game plus. Like ya i absolutely love the game and i have played all the old ones but seeing kratos go through his character growth was just too emotional and enjoyable to see him get set back again
ED TUBE not too emotional for me to watch. Just like don’t wanna see the progress of kratos and atreus’ character development get reset. Idk just a weird thing on me but the gear and stats u get look awesome
Do i have to collect everything after i finished the Game first time in Non NG+ or can i switch immediately to NG+? or is it better to take as much as possible to NG+?
I’m on level eight on the main story and I have the mist armor with two shoulder pads but not armor in the abs, 292 hp Atreus has the best armor too fully leveled up both weapons of kratos and got the god of war’s version of the infinity gauntlet and I haven’t even finished the game
Nice video man!! The only question I have is if all my armor sets, talismans and enchantments are now useless on NG+ or can I upgrade them from there and not from the start.
NG+ carries over all of your current gear, xp, resources, skills AS IS. Nothing is degraded. You simply pick up a new story with your previous ... everything. Some of Kratos' and Atreus' skills are only available when the storyline unlocks them. Shock arrows, for example, only get unlocked in NG+ after you rescue Sindri from the dragon just like your first game.
@@ZipLineAttack I know this is old but does NG+ allow you to upgrade original armor more? Say in my first play through I have my Sindri armor maxed out, it carries over to NG+ and keeps its stats, is it still maxed out or does it unlock another level or two of improvement? Thanks!
@@SacrificingNothing No, there aren't any additional upgrade levels. Every unique piece of gear will still have the same upgrade levels as the original game - capped at whatever. You will be able to purchase better versions of gear from Brok/Sindri in NG+ that have higher upgrade levels but they are entirely new gear pieces. The current gear you have is permanently maxed out. No worries though, on NG+ I completely changed out every piece of gear that I had from the first play through to better gear.
@@ZipLineAttack I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to answer! I am almost 100% on my first play through and getting ready to go NG+! Thanks so much 💖
@@SacrificingNothing You're most welcome. I highly recommend doing the XP, Gold or Hacksilver boosting when you locate (not fight) the last Valkyrie. In NG+ I did this x100 to get the new gear upgraded which was very resource expensive - 'blood shards' or something like that? There's a couple of different resource boosting options. I recommend stacking up where you can.
the shields you unlock after you beat the game in give me god of war, for players like me during the first play through weren't able to unlock it, but is it possible to still unlock them in new game + on give me god of war on the second playthrough? JumpinProductions?
So the armor changes looks as well in new game+? Do you have to sacrifice your old gear to create the enchantments or can you also do it with the new gear?
Tyrs armor carried me until I upgraded the Valkyrie set. Tyrs armor is definitely worth it, I didn’t bother crafting any armor, I only used the ones I found and was pleasantly surprised and content with tyrs armor I tried broks armor and felt it wasn’t as good as Sindri’s. I probably would have switched to Sindris if I got that one but I kept Tyrs armor for most of the game. I like the ancients armor for its stacked resistances but by the time you get enough material for it, it’s not worth it. But in plus you pretty much start off with all the material to make the perfect variant, aside from skap slag. When I first tried it on, I was so used to Tyrs armor, I couldn’t deal with Kratos left shoulder being so revealed and unarmored lol W
I finished my first playthrough on God of War and was thinking about playing *New Game + but do you think I should finish exploring wherever I can first to gather stuff then start NG+?
Is that NG+ Valkyrie Set green or yellow? It always look different in different places. Are those green and yellow looks different armors or the same Valkyrie+? What is the logic of that? I just don't get it. I'm so confused right now.
TAMIYUS09 check his enchantments, he mostly picks the ones that give highest stats, tyr’s shard, tyr’s shard plus, perfect mark of tyr and the versatile warrior’s handle, and finally full valkyries armor set makes up the most of his stats.
I’m sure i had some of pommels and talismans you showcased before NG+ but they weren’t labeled in red. ..Are they new versions or just higher level cap? Haven’t finished story yet....just wanna kill all Valkyries first....realm tears too...afraid NG+ won’t be worth the effort
FIrst man Thanks a ton as I'm a first time GoW player.. Not sure why I never bought them on PS as I had the PS1 first day Way back in 96. That being said this game is F'in fantastic.. Coming off R* lack of any kind of updates in RDO and killing IMO one of the best games ever in Red Dead Redemption 2, so this game is right there on their back door for me. Just started playing New Game+ for my second playthough on GoW.. Shit is expensive and I damn wish I would've seen this 2 weeks ago. Yea well I can finish it now if I want as just gotta go spread some ashes and I'm done with it. I'm so glad that you can redo NG+ and keep everything from past NG+. That shit is HUGE. One question does the Skap slag hack I've been seeing work on PC. Where you save before Muspelheim and just keep reloading save and going thru realm doors work yet? Anyone know? Anyway Thanks for this bud. Gonna save me from a F ton of grinding and my old ass hands thank you a ton.. Edit: Oh and like most people were saying about your spinning chair and talking trick. For people listening. If you have your loudness checked in sound settings it will equal it out some of the back and forth on speakers. Not sure about the headphones, but it should and it kept me from spewing chunks. I swear it was like I was in that ride Gravatron??? (the spinning spaceship that was the vomit machine at carnivals and shit) going round and round.. Bad 80's flashbacks my dude. LOL thanks again My Good Man Liked and Subbed
When you say upgrade the armor fully to get it turned into an amulet, so you mean upgrade the original or upgrade the perfect version of the armor from ngplus
@@GodLimone so in NG+ is it already like a level 7 and you make it perfect? Or do you upgrade it all the way the first time you play and in the NG+ it’s upgraded to perfect? I still can’t figure that part out
But you don't have to wait for NG+ to get that, right? And this video was from three months ago, so he may not have even known about it. But if his reaction to some of those enchantments is any indication, I'll bet he crapped his drawers when he saw the stats on this pommel...
@@heydannypark correction on the name, its Forbidden Grip of the Ages. But anyways no you dont have to wait for NG+ but there is a NG+ perfect version of it too.
ive got the highest states possible in the game for that u need to craft all plus 9 enchantments its gona require alota farming but totally worth it i have unlocked all passive skills
And to be honest I thought game plus was like an exclusive member thing not something anyone can do. AND YES I saw the words new game plus not changing the fact I didn't knoe
What’s good bro there is also the secret axe pommel called the forbidden grip of the ages check out a vid on it gives u all stats and a concussion blast at the end of your 4th axe strike
Really nice video. But the thing is your voice volume is going up and down and thats kind of irritating. For the next video could you fix that. Thank you. Love your videos
@@OutCast907 each stat has a cap, but u can max every stat out in your first ng+ playthrough if you put on the right enchantments and the right armor pieces Although it demands some skap leg grinding , full valkyrie set+ level 9 is the best go to if you want max stats I'm pretty sure u can max everything out with other pieces of the right armors mixed together, but using the valkyrie set instead is easier, since u don't have to find any mixtures that complete eachother, valkyrie set+ it's already the gear with the best overall stats in the game, so as long as you put the enchantments you will max everything out Although ares and zeus build can do better if you build them right, their perks are great
