That axe is by far the prettiest and coolest weapon ever made in a God of War game. It looks like it could actually be effective from a historical perspective, although the axe head is a little too big of course.
Claus Østerbye just to add your point about historical perspective. just saw a video about it, they said Leviathan axe looks a lot like execution axe rather than battle axe. Also its actually thin, just like an actual battle axe
Atreus6 : your giving me your axe and your blades of fire Kratos : I'm letting you hold my axe and the blades of -chaos- fire stay with me ..... Forever
There is so much fan service in the Blades of Chaos's runic attacks I feel so old spotting them. *Cyclone of Chaos*: L1+Square from GOW 3 i believe *Nemean Crush*: Nemian Ceastus L1+triangle from GOW 3 *Rampage of the Furies*: L1+Circle from GOW 1 *Rage of the Titans*: I FEEL like it's the spartan rage from GOW 1, but I'm not too sure at all *Icarus Storm*: L1+Square from GOW 1 or 2 I believe. *Wrath of Artemis*: The classic square mash combo ender *Blast of Hepaestus*: I know this has something to do with the electric blades of Hephaestus back in GOW 3, but I didn't play that weapon a lot *Tartarus Rage*: This one is a classic, omg. That's your L1 + Triangle from GOW 3. The GOW 1 variant looks too silly, but the nostalgia would have been massive *Fire of Ares*: Fire imbued Blades of Chaos's ultimate attack from GOW Ascension I loved this move, but it arguable was a lot more explosive in it's original game *Prometheus Flame*: Hades imbued Blades of Chaos's ultimate attack from GOW Ascension. *Hyperion Slam*: The classic mash square and end with with triangle finishing slam attack in all GOW games *Hyperion Grapple*: Blades of Chaos's L1+Circle from GOW 3 Anything else were fire variants of the axe's shield bash, and weapon buff
Acme Arsenal yeah man the nostalgia is real. I hunted down all runic attacks for the blades just so I can see what moves they brought back. I even mapped the attack buttons to square and triangle for a few minutes just so that I get the satisfaction of doing my L1+Square ritual lol.
Acme Arsenal yeah like some people i didnt know that if hold or press a button after activation it continues until my second playthrough on give me god of war .
Not gonna lie, whenever I'm about to use breath of Thamur, I always say to myself "by the power of greyskull" and then the 80s He-Man theme plays in head during the attack. And I just now realized that greyskull can apply to Kratos too.
@@MaxCanonStunner Honestly most of them feel worse as regular moves. It was an interesting idea but not well executed. I went back to try 2018 the other day and it felt way better to me than Ragnarok. The only thing I can really say Ragnarok did well is utilizing the triangle button to power up the weapon.
Dude it clearly says you can upgrade the runes when you want to equip one. Plus the valkyries aren't really that tough. You need to learn how to block and parry.
My set of Runic Attacks for both is. Leviathan axe: Light: Wrath of the Frost Ancient Heavy: River of Knives B.o.C Light: Rampage of the Furies Heavy: Fire of Ares
Blessings of the Frost, Glaive Storm for a homing attack with mass damage, Breath of Thamur for AoE, Fury of the Ice Troll for AoE, River of knives for a cone-shaped AoE, Mists of Helheim, and Tyr's Revenge are the best Axe Runic attacks even in GMGOW mode on NG+ especially Tyr's for holding certain Valkyries in place and deal very good damage, the best Chaos blades *imo* are Hyperion Grapple(against humanoids and Valkyries) obsurd burst damage, Meteor Rain for AoE, Cyclone Storm for AoE, Blast of Hephaestus for stun and instant combo cancel against bosses, Nemean Crush for Frontal cone-shaped AoE smaller in range to that of River of Knives but has great stun potential against mobs infront of you, Promethus flame for moderate damage and will hit basically all enemies beneath with hellfire, Hyperion slam looks dope and does very nice damage on single bosses and had a lingering mini AoE (similar to the chaos lava the Great Chaos Orb in Dark Souls leaves behind), and finally Fire of Ares is also pretty good in situations if you know how to use it and it can actually stagger very similarly to River of Knives.
It would be cool if the Blades Of Chaos had a runic attack that had fallen Spartan soldiers that charge at the enemy, I don't know I think that would be pretty cool, kinda like in the 3rd game where Spartan Soldier shields surround him and they use the spears.
Personally I like sticking to Leviathan’s Wake and Blast of Hephaestus for the light attacks, and Blessings of the Frost and Gift of Apollo for the heavy attacks. Great video!
@@MaxCanonStunner more weakened and used less because they offer very little, I completely forgot about all that because of how unintuitive it is for the gameplay, so many combinations so that most of them were ineffective, before a simple L1+R1 or L1+R2 much easier to use memorize and were more op
I hope in the next game they have a feature where you can make 2 "builds or sets " of light and heavy attacks that you can toggle back and forth from with a button press .. basically giving you access to 2 of each for battles .. you probably would have to make most not as strong but it would be worth it to expand his move pool
Wrath of the frost giant mixed with the breath of thumur and also mixed the rampage of furries and meteoric slam is the best combination and I think everyone should have that as there runic attacks as there the most effective and most dangerous and easy to cool down
look like you didn't play previous gow games . this game is shit comparing to the old gow . walking , cinematic , gay son , cinematic and walking with close up camera
This game has more movelist than the previous GOW even the Blade of Chaos moved are more different than the copypaste moves on every GOW and i play GOW 1 and 2
Lol, you listed Cinematic twice, walking twice(which makes no sense since you can run)....and "gay son"...? Clearly you want to hate this game for some reason...not sure why..just not open to change I guess. I'm assuming you haven't played it. The Cinematics are few and far between and are placed carefully where they will have the most impact, there is FAR more playtime than in any previous GoW game, the skill level required is much higher, and the character development is far superior. Atreus is actually very useful with pretty intelligent AI and serves as a great partner to Kratos due to their conflicting personalities. Not sure what you want out of a child who was raised by a father with zero social skills out in the middle of no where. He can get annoying for one section of the game, but it's rectified relatively quickly. Sad for you, everyone is super happy with this change, so it doesn't look like we are ever going back to the old model. Which is good, because who the fuck wants to play the EXACT same game with the EXACT same mechanics and EXACT same revenge story line 5+ times. The game was getting stale.
Using Meteoric slam and then Thamur's Breath right after makes one of the coolest combos ever. Think about that, raining burning balls of hellfire on the enemy as well as the impossibly cold winds of hel piercing them at the same time. Literal Freezer burn to it's maximum extreme. Only thing that would make it cooler is if the meteors actually got caught in the vortex and added a burning effect to it
Victor Tan except this one isn't much deeper compared to other games and while a lot of these look cool, most look like they function about the same way
Michael T Try playing the game. You're watching a video of a guy using these attacks on no enemies, so of course it's going to look like they function the same way. On top of these attacks, there are also enchantments you can use in sockets for your gear, talismans, and Atreus' runes + skill tree that make the combat pretty damn deep.
Don't pay attention to that guy. I haven't gotten my hands on it and I can tell how good it feels compared to it's predecessors. This game has good combat and this is coming from a DMC fan.
I like how some of the moves are straight out of the previous games. Tartarus Rage, Cyclone of Chaos, Rampage of the Furies (it was the L1+O move in GOW2 and at the beginning of GOW3), Icarus Storm is even out of GOW1... and pretty much every move you see is either from the previous games, or a variation. I love it.
I do wish there were more slots for runic attacks Feel like it’d give you a lot more versatility without having to awkwardly change to different attacks in the menu mid-fight
i have done a marathon of GOW games , starting all over again to GOW4 , and now realize that GOW 4 is just the best , story , exploring , combat , music , stunning world , tricky puzzles. This can be GOTY
some of the runic attacks here are now skills in GOW Ragnarok, like Blast of Hephaestus for the Blades of Chaos being now Kratos' backdash attack if learned in Ragnarok. kinda like that they streamlined the runic attacks and skills as i didn't use many of the runic attacks in 2018. now i use skills a lot more often in Ragnarok
That's something I liked: stuff like Blessing of the Frost felt kinda pointless, whereas stuff like Tyr's Revenge or Leviatha's Wake could've easily been done as regular attacks. On my last playthrough of GOW 2018, I barely used any of the light runnic attacks for the axe, except for Hel's Touch, Njörd's Tempest, and Wrath of the Frost Ancient; and lo and behold: those were the runnic attacks that came back for Ragnarök
I get surprised everytime when I see how underrated glaive storm is.The stats are bugged or something it shows 3 damage but I think it has the best damage output.It is really viable in any situation,boss fights or chaotic crowded fights.It is the best heavy runic attack in the game everyone should try it.
Peter Amobi cuz some moves only look cool, and not very practical in real combat. And some moves are just better than other. It also depends on the way a certain player plays.
It depends on your playstyle, I personally like heavy hitting runes with moderate stun, pair that with Loki’s shock arrows and see that stun meter fill up
New Game Plus/NG+ means that you start a new playthrough with all the upgrades/abilities you unlocked from the previous playthrough. So instead of starting with a Kratos that has nothing, you start off with an upgraded Kratos. This all can allow you to get a full 100% upgraded Kratos.

you forgot the kid's but thanks for this bro, everyone i watched play this always used the same 2 runic attacks and never even upgraded them, and if they did they always forgot lol
tyr's revenge is my favorite, it can inhibit a bigger creature like a troll, while you deal with the smaller ones. Rampage of the furies is a favorite too.

Can we all take a moment to admire how the sky turns red during meteoric slam? Simply epic...
no

NOT
I don't think the sky turns red, I think that's just a barrier letting you know the area or field the meteors will land.
It's a result of Kratos rage of the blades. He does it too when rage bar is full. Trevor from gta 5 has a rage mode similar to it.

They are also based off old moves from previous God of Wars. Cyclone of Chaos for instance.

That's something I liked: stuff like Blessing of the Frost felt kinda pointless, whereas stuff like Tyr's Revenge or Leviatha's Wake could've easily been done as regular attacks.
On my last playthrough of GOW 2018, I barely used any of the light runnic attacks for the axe, except for Hel's Touch, Njörd's Tempest, and Wrath of the Frost Ancient; and lo and behold: those were the runnic attacks that came back for Ragnarök
Is it me or the runic attacks in 2018 feel more gritty and savage, And the blades emit more flame and explosions, the effects in 2022 so disappointing
Fimbelwinter effect 🙂
Nah you are completely right I think I wanted to go for a more immersive effect
The blades of chaos attacks bring back so many memories!
1:30 strange ressemblance to a skyrim's thunder lazer attack
I like to think the world serpent is watching from afar, and is thoroughly impressed.
Or shitting bricks
4:15 you shall not pass
Fool of a BOI!
I get surprised everytime when I see how underrated glaive storm is.The stats are bugged or something it shows 3 damage but I think it has the best damage output.It is really viable in any situation,boss fights or chaotic crowded fights.It is the best heavy runic attack in the game everyone should try it.
Wow... why didn't most TH-cam players never used this abilities
Peter Amobi cuz some moves only look cool, and not very practical in real combat. And some moves are just better than other. It also depends on the way a certain player plays.
but we can all agree blessing of frost is overpowered as fuck XD
It depends on your playstyle, I personally like heavy hitting runes with moderate stun, pair that with Loki’s shock arrows and see that stun meter fill up
barbarianbijuu do you know how high the runic boost is you get from blessing of the frost?
Jose Brito dude call him Atreus you spoiler
Atreus : Father, What are you doing?
Kratos : It is Runic Magical Weapon Direction Training, Boy.
This game needs a ng + mode asap....
J Junior What's a ng + mode?
New Game Plus/NG+ means that you start a new playthrough with all the upgrades/abilities you unlocked from the previous playthrough. So instead of starting with a Kratos that has nothing, you start off with an upgraded Kratos. This all can allow you to get a full 100% upgraded Kratos.
TYRANNICAL Oh cool thanks!
They're working on it, should be out in the next few updates
XxJigsaw_GamesxX sure ?
You can't even be bothered to find 1 enemy to showcase the hyperion grapple? What a great video

I love this game, it makes you really feel like a god. Kratos can slow down time and throw out a dozen of hits in milliseconds.
Atreus was like, what was daddy doing..
you forgot the kid's but thanks for this bro, everyone i watched play this always used the same 2 runic attacks and never even upgraded them, and if they did they always forgot lol
Hel's touch is an underrated attack.
not really, almost all op builds use it, and yes i know this is from 3 years ago.
man the particle effects in this game are fantastic
2:20 *GETSUGO TENSHO*
tyr's revenge is my favorite, it can inhibit a bigger creature like a troll, while you deal with the smaller ones. Rampage of the furies is a favorite too.
*10\10*
*GOTY*
MO7AMMEDpro True and true
It is
But does make u FEEL like a god??
@@kidnamedfinger2840 The point is actually the opposite.
After all these years of not using the blades, this man still uses them like hes in GOW3 😂😂. What a fucking beast!
Who's happy that kratos's axe is a thing in God of war?
Never knew Kratos was a spinjitzu master.
That's cool, apparently everybody knows the getsugatensho now
