A detailed guide for completing all the story missions of the new God of War, tips on how to defeat the main bosses and open all the worlds
Before starting the passage of God of War: Ragnarök, I recommend that you go into the parameters and explore all the options for settings that can equally simplify or complicate the game. Pay special attention to aiming assistance, auto-selection of various items, and so on.

Walkthrough God of War: Ragnarök
After the introductory video, you will find yourself in a harness. Look around until Freya appears. Press the keys indicated on the screen to protect yourself from it. After a while, you will need to dodge obstacles, using an additional left analogue. Keep pressing the keys until the episode ends. Follow further in the harness and climb the hill to the house where Atreus will meet Fenrir. Watch the extended cut-scene.
Follow Faye until she stops next to a deer corpse. Go to the logs and move them. Climb up the ledges by clicking on the “circle” and approach the wolf for a cutscene.
Atreus left to bury Fenrir, but never returned. There is only one way to leave the location. Stand with your back to the house and go left. There will be footprints in the snow. Go down the slope and turn to the kennel on the left. Approach the wall with the sign and attack it with a powerful blow on R2. Having done this, make your way inside and get to the other side.
Location: Upper Wildwoods
Fight the first enemies, the raiders. Press R3 (right analog) to capture targets, R1 and R2 for light and heavy attacks.
Remove the log from the path on the left and pick up a health stone. Such stones restore the HP of Kratos or Atreus. Examine the bear, go forward and look into the cave on the right. The chest contains chopped silver – the main monetary unit in the game. Hold L2, aim at the tree on the other side of the gap and throw at R1. Don’t forget to press the “triangle” button to get the ax back. Just run up to jump over to the other side.
Follow further along the right rocks. After the corpse, look into the niche on the left, on the ledge, to find the second chest with silver. In the future, we will not refer to them. Follow the new location with the raiders and kill them. Move along the left edge to go further and meet opponents throwing weapons. Here you will learn about the icy awakening. By holding the “triangle”, you can charge the ax with ice and strengthen its next attack. Also, by pressing L1 just before an enemy strike, you can parry it (time will slow down, you will be able to attack the target freely).
Walkthrough God of War: Ragnarök
Climb up the rock and open the big chest. In addition to silver, wrought iron is hidden inside. Enter the cave and kill the first enemies. Don’t forget to search all niches to collect silver. Get to the next adit, finish off the enemies and climb the wall from the enemy, who will have a throwing weapon. Look to the right. Jump over to the chest with the wrought iron and silver. Go to the other side and climb up the wall with the drawings.
Get out of the cave and fight the bear Bjorn. During the battle, use the same techniques. Hits telegraphed by yellow rings can be parried, red ones cannot, so dodge them. At some point, you will be able to click on both analogues and activate the rage mode. Use it to deal maximum damage.
After the cut-scene, cut the log in front of you and go to the cave. You will learn about Atreus’ ability to shoot a bow. Click on the “square” to make the guy shoot at the nearest or selected enemy. The damage is low, but the enemies get a temporary stun. The stock of arrows is restored over time and is shown in the lower right corner of the screen. Move the only way to the exit, go down the chain and find a chest with a wrought iron on the right. Fight one more battle. If the enemy does not come down to you, shoot at him with the bow of Atreus. Enter the house and go to bed. Watch the video.
Then the battle against Thor will begin. The battle will consist of three stages. Whenever a Health Stone drops, be sure to pick it up. Dodge red attacks and parry yellow ones if possible. When rage builds up, press both analogues and attack with light blows. At the beginning of the battle, you will not have an ax, so do not try to pull it. At the second stage, a new blow will appear – Thor will throw a hammer. But you can attack him with two or three columns placed along the edges of the arena. At the third stage, look under your feet: avoid red areas where you can die.
Follow Sindri and Brok into the cave. Enter the opened portal and go to your house. After the cut-scene, choose a new chest armor with an emphasis on defense or strength, then upgrade the Leviathan.
Location: Lower Wildwoods
Follow Atreus to Lower Wildwood. Keep following your son. Stop in front of the passage with thorns. Click on the left arrow to select the Blades of Chaos. Aim at L2 and throw them at the thorns with the R2 button to burn the thickets. Go a little further and throw the blade at the red dot on the barrier where Atreus is looking. Throw an ax at a suspended raider. If the opponent’s health bar is covered in ice, then they are resistant to Leviathan. Attack him with the Blades of Chaos to break the ice, and then finish him off with any weapon.
Walkthrough God of War: Ragnarök
Keep moving. Don’t be afraid to veer off the path to find additional supplies. There are no big forks here, the location is not open. Enter the building and turn right. Kill a couple more frozen raiders, make your way between the plates. You can jump to the left to the chest. Drop down to the right. On the right there will be another pit with a chest. Climb through the hole in the wall, kill the enemies and make your way through the next one. Around this time, you will receive a hint on how to unlock new skills. Do it and spend the points.
Move the fallen column to the side, go a little forward and climb to the ledge on the right. Jump across the abyss and use the chain. Try to pull her. The chain is stuck in the rock just below. Throw the ax at the blue target that appears to release the chain, and then pull it. Climb down on the chain and jump down the ledges. Destroy several enemies. Unlike Leviathan, to charge the blades with fire, you need to press the “triangle” several times. You can try out the technique and use it on opponents with an ice health bar. Also use stone pillars to deal a lot of damage to enemies. In the far left corner there is a hole with thorns. Burn them with the Blades of Chaos.
Climb higher and kill the enemies. After that, defeat the Huntress. Stay on the move and dodge red attacks. You can throw your weapons at the Huntress. Up close, she will constantly attack with her hooves. You can parry such blows. As a result of victory, you will receive a weak rune. Install it on the axe. By holding R1 and L1, you will be able to activate Leviathan’s weak rune attack.
Climb up, but don’t rush after Atreus. Turn left and pick up the Pale Horn Scroll. Go through the ruins to the courtyard where Atreus will stop in front of the stairs. To open the way further, you need to move the column with blades. But first you have to look to the right and throw the ax into the crack on the log against which the column rests. You can also turn around with your back to the stairs and find an opening in the far left corner through which Kratos can get through to find a large chest. Climb the stairs after Atreus and watch the cut-scene.
Drop down after Atreus and lift the gate on the right to reveal a large chest. Move on and jump onto the ledge on the left. Look to the right to find a slab with a symbol. Jump on it and break it. So you can get to another chest. Climb up again, drop the chain and fight the enemies from below. Among them will be the leader of the raiders, which is difficult to stun even with heavy blows from an ax. Keep moving, search another chest and soon return to the house. Follow Sindri and open the door to another dimension.
Location «Dom Sindri»
Enter the house of the dwarf brothers and speak with Sindri and Brok. Follow the steps mentioned in the tutorial. Atreus’s fucking clothes are purely cosmetic, so we won’t focus on them. It is best to pump over an ax or blades of Kratos, you can improve the selected shield, you can improve armor. In general, do not rush – in the chest on the right there is another armor. These chests will be in every Brock’s hideout/shop, and they store those items that you missed or didn’t pick up during the battles. After that, talk to Sindri.
