I tested every "ultimate build" that a lot of people post on YT. I test them out on Gna, Berserker King and all the Final Crucible Challenges. What I found out? You don't need "gimmicky" builds. Just get your parry timing down, be aware of where your enemies are, memorize attack patterns... that's it. As long as you're not 3 levels below a boss or an enemy, you'll get through it. Even if the difficulty is on GMGOW. My fitst playthrough was on No Mercy. 2nd was on GMGOW. I played a 3rd time on GMGOW and I constantly had to check if the difficulty was actually on GMGOW because I didn't remember it being that easy. Or you can just spam Runic Storm, Hilt of Hofud and Flame Whiplash... Also, even on GMGOW, once you unlock Muspelheim and if just build yourself up there until your level 7, the rest is a cake walk. Even the dual berserkers or the trio in alfheim will seem easy
My idea of "ultimate build" is to pick your poise, best pure damage is berzerker,the best tank builds are steinborn and the courage armor, for cooldown u got the 70% and the spiritual,and various pieces together for stun build or rage build, or any other gimmick or fun build.
They really got rid of it for a bunch of shields you most likely won't use, once we got the guardian shield back I only used one other for a boss fight and I didn't even need it
@@official_nish2535 I platinum it too at 50+hr.😇 platinum when you obtain all trophies to get platinum on playstation trophies. In other words its like an xbox achievements or steam achievements
The first build showcased was the build I used for the whole game (kind of) I used the Sol's set from the time I got it until the end when I got the Fate Breaker set and just used it because I love the way it looked. For the prologue/post game, I've mixed them together like it was shown in the video
The vidar armor set is my personal favourite cause of the huge amount of damage you inflict on enemies, an updated version of that armor will be insane with new game plus, my strength stat was 642, hopefully i can get it close to a thousand with new game plus.
I'd love for Santa Monica to bring back 1 and add two new Greek Armors: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon armors. Hades armor could be: Doing twice the melee damage when inflicted with any status by the enemies, Or Naturally decreases damage resistance, but also increases any type of Rage damage, healing, and stun. Poseidon Armor could be: Be 25% resistant to all enemy status Or Do twice the damage against enemies with the fire element
I have a better setup for the Sol's chest/Fatebreaker arms/waist build. I know not everybody has the Darkdale set because it was a digital deluxe set, but if you have it, using the Darkdale arms/waist with Sol's chest should give you more rage gains, at least that was the result I had after testing both setups. The Fatebreaker pieces will give you a flat 20% faster rage gain, the Darkdale pieces will give you 40% on runic attacks or status afflicted enemies, so as long as you're frequently using runic attacks and or applying frost/burn, you'll see huge gains in rage.
I love that armor,my first playthrough. i used that chest piece with darkdrale pieces, and then eventually, the fate breaker pieces with the courage chest piece the whole,probably my 2nd fav build. My health and rage stun build is my 3rd fav build. In GOW4 my fav was ares/game armor
Whaou you must avec absolutely loved the game .. personally i find it boring ans useless to start a game all over again because my main focus is the Story .. you must have time in your hands to finish the story + the activities to get the 100% not once but 5 times !! 😅😜
Love your vids man. For new game plus, which I can't wait for!, I'm gonna rock a Steinborn, high defense + regen combo for insane base dmg and survivability in multiple contexts. Hope they add new challenges/armor sets. How sick would it be to be able to just call up Gna/other bosses in an expanded Mulspheim? :D
Forgot to add, they could have easily added the feature to fight previously defeated, bersekers, Gna, bosses, etc. by adding an area in Helheim with a sword just like in muspelheim and nifleheim. To make it lore-friendly. Honestly, once you 100% the game, the only thing you can do is just do the Crucible.
They should’ve had a hidden armor or something like the one in 2018 did. Shattered Gauntlet of Ages. They should’ve had NG+ in the game a lot of new games will be out by then.
I love the chest piece (I think that’s the armor part) that has a 70% chance of restoring any special attack including talisman. It’s amazing with the sword talisman and with high luck it procs very regularly
@JorRaptor I can't seem to lvl up all my gear due to 0 crystals, there are at least 6 to 10 pieces of gear at lvl 8. I went through all of vanaheim and I think I collected every single one. How can I obtain more?
Anyone know if I start just new game (not plus) I can keep my gear or does it reset? Just wanna know for when plus comes out if I should just wait to keep level and gear. Thanks
I hope they give us more character Interactions , dialogue and content because it felt like we got a lot less compared to 2018 once you get passed the ending
@@coltensmith1897 I would hope that’s what they end up doing honestly. I think they wanted to make Ragnarok 50/50 playtime between Kratos and him. Ended up being 75/25 the director said. I hope they add what else they had planned for him. But don’t know if they’ll jus use those assets for his own game.
I can't get my platinum trophy due to the Raven keeper not spawning... No matter WHT I do the Raven keeper will not spawn.... I refuse to restart the whole game can anyone help me with this plz?
Still don't get why these companies release unfinished games. Dlc and added content are profe the game is still in development. I remember when games still came on disks they had to get the game right the first time. They didn't have a back door to remove their mistakes and add value to their unfinished product.
Hope they will add new armors just like gow(2018)
Yeah high chance I think!
@@JorRaptor any tips on beating gna get on no mercy, I’m stuck on her
@@blackholexd5994 don't rush the fight, be discreet with the attacks
tbh I don't think I would want it it would be better if we get to upgrade to level 10 and get thr fur armor as well
@@blackholexd5994 both Gna and Hrolf. You have to be patient. Don’t rush the fight.

Which “ultimate” build did you prefer?
Top 3 if you can’t pick one
Hope we get the bare hand/shield skill tree in the NG+!!

Definently hype for New Game +. I got platinum, and I need a new challenge
What does platinum mean? I’ve beat the whole game, don’t know what y’all talking about
@@official_nish2535 the platinum trophy for PlayStation?
@@official_nish2535
I platinum it too at 50+hr.😇
platinum when you obtain all trophies to get platinum on playstation trophies. In other words its like an xbox achievements or steam achievements
I feel like maybe they could add build presets in ng+ cuz it’s a pain to keep switching builds rn 😂
Like noih 2,that would be great

Thank you so much thanks to your armor build I beat the berserker king
the double health bar looks fun as heck brother
*Hunter Build* is seriously underrated and under utilized. Super effective against mobs and mob boss fights.
Agreed. Cooldown and strength which are my two favorite stats.
I'd love for Santa Monica to bring back 1 and add two new Greek Armors: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon armors.
Hades armor could be: Doing twice the melee damage when inflicted with any status by the enemies,

When Will Be optional the new game plus????
I hope for new game plus we get to upgrade to level 10 armor and equipment and get the fur as well.
I’m excited for ng+
Same!
When does she drop?
Not for a while yet, this video is way too early imo
@@ajnunez8788 she?
@@yashsoni7614 yeah. The new game plus. I been waiting for a reason to go back to this game after i 100% it already.

Haven't watched the video but I'm just gonna use my Survival Armor.
I love that armor,my first playthrough. i used that chest piece with darkdrale pieces, and then eventually, the fate breaker pieces with the courage chest piece the whole,probably my 2nd fav build.
My health and rage stun build is my 3rd fav build. In GOW4 my fav was ares/game armor
Thank you for this build I still can't beat GNA or the king on easy but I get them to 10% with this build where as before I got them only to 50%
Bring back all the hand combat moves and the stance change moves with the blades of chaos and the game will be flawless
Who are u talking to?
The gow5 blades are much better,but they could add the 1 or 2 stance attacks for bare handed
I can’t wait for new game plus
Love this thank you
thats crazy i was runnin wit the first build for the later stages of the game
I’m just ready for NG+ already!! I’ve 100% the game 5 times already
No you haven't

Call bullshit. You mustn’t have a job
I'll come back and watch this when it's on PC
Cool story 🙄
Do we have a date for NG +?
Spring 2023
Sadly not but likely end of March early April. They said Spring.
I wasn't expecting the build I personally use to be the first one shown
Good video thx
I love the poison build
If you mean that lundas armor set then yea my favorite too. Pretty busted if you playing on any difficulty that isn't GMGOW
Didn’t they nerf it? I swear it’s not as strong as a month ago
@@murtaugh1761 really? I didn't noticed
The main advantage is it reduces enemy's power level
@@BigDaddySnehal I just loaded it up after I commented and tried it out, seems super strong still, maybe I was too high last time lol

Wow the double trouble is op, had much trouble with gna and it was so much easier

Great builds although I never used the lunda armor not really my play style
What’s your pkaystyle
@@Jonasweenink I like to use the weapons
They should’ve had a hidden armor or something like the one in 2018 did. Shattered Gauntlet of Ages. They should’ve had NG+ in the game a lot of new games will be out by then.
Slot nine unique realms into the jewel of Yggdrasil to get the nine realms buff on permafrost or immolation buildup
I love your build videos
Thanks!
When shall we get NG+?
I love the chest piece (I think that’s the armor part) that has a 70% chance of restoring any special attack including talisman. It’s amazing with the sword talisman and with high luck it procs very regularly
I hope they add new content like a mission or a boss
Original god of war inspired out?! That’s so cool I think!

Look it up. You can google the locations of all the crystals.
Anyone know if I start just new game (not plus) I can keep my gear or does it reset? Just wanna know for when plus comes out if I should just wait to keep level and gear. Thanks
Just make a new save, your original save will still be there but you can play on a new one
@@rich925cal1 ah man great idea did not even think of that lol thanks
Well duh everything will reset if you start a new game. That’s the point of NG+ so you can keep everything.
Can we move up to gmgow difficulty when moving to ng+? Probly not
The game should let you save and load different builds
Hey did you ever figure out why the big sword is muspelheim isn't there anymore
That would be called a bug. This has been an issue for a while.
april !! i’ll be 1000 years old by then :(
Does Kratos flip the bird before he uses the gift of strength? 😂
How does he have so much rage?
And they may add something like the red slap from how 2018 a crafting recipe
I'm calling the 'dragon hands' build throw hands
I have the dragon set armor. Can anyone tell me if its a good set?
Yes Is good, but It Is less useful against GNA and the King
For those 2 bstard use Stejborn or Berseker Armor (i've done this) 😊
When is the new game plus?
Google it.
They need to add preset slots
Ragnarok is great game but gow 18 is fun to play
I hope they give us more character Interactions , dialogue and content because it felt like we got a lot less compared to 2018 once you get passed the ending
Why does every TH-camr use the no mercy difficulty as a baseline? I beat this game on gmgow so every video I watch is how to be better at easy mode
what is the release date of new game Plus Date, month ?
Sadly not but likely end of March early April. They said Spring.
Anyone tried the hunter armor build
they have a video on the channel for it :D
That title made me think NG Plus was here... C'mon Jor
That’s your fault. Santa Monica already said NG+ will be available in the spring.
@@mysterious___1 title still is misleading
bruh that huge health bar how I am trying I can't get it
I’m hope they give us a way to play as Atreus in the endgame too. It sucks he leaves after the story and you can’t play with/as him anymore.
Would have been cool if you could find him around the realms and or help him through a side quest or something like that.
