Fun fact, before killing Nidhogg if you go back to where Ratatoskr is, if you look over the edge, you can see Nidhogg along with her children, the lyndwrms, protecting the world tree's roots.
24:30 that actually isn't a soul eat. Ancient and soul eaters look the same and the only way to differentiate then is the name above the heath bar and if someone tells you.
Your new shield, charge it up to red by blocking, double tap to send a shockwave out. The shield can smash enemies against the wall or more importantly off the map. Your skill trees evolve by using skills and XP. Visit Niflheim if you want a safe area to level these up by training against draugr. Also Niflheim is where you go for the ravens rewards. I hope you start doing these side missions and exploring realms soon too because you’re missing out on a lot
Fyi: no shield except the circular one in 2018 has a counterattack move after parrying, which is NOT the same as double L1 of dauntless shield even though the movement is similar. A counterattack has and, at least the R2 version and at least in NG, always interrupts enemy combo. Not so with other shields. The weakness is if you counterattack you lose combo flow. With dauntless & star shield, your combo flow continues. Eg. Pride of the frost requires R1R1R1R2 to execute. But if the enemy decides to attack in between and you parry, you simply pause and resume the flow. Furthermore, sharter star shield can reflect procectiles back if you shield strike parry (you pary but double click at last second instead of single click block). It even parries most red unblockables except grabs. And it can interrupt unparryable blockables. Valour rage also provides if you time it like a parry against most attackks including red and blue. It is like ER’s vow of the indomitable but shorter window
@@alexshin793 True. Out of the two shatter star shield shines brighter when you like to do thibgs manually while dauntless when you rely on passive perk since it generates more stun dmg per parry but less flexible in terms of usage. Like windows vs mac Also, since shield strike of shatter star can act as a parry simultaneously, then it can also serve as smthg like guardian shield’s setup for a fully charged flame whiplash
Some tips Bifrost relic you got from Odins captain is really solid. Charge shatter star shield by holding block then bash to do some close to medium range damage, it's probably the best shield tbh since you can hit those blue shield bash prompts from further away if you cant fully make it in time. Charge your axe with triangle before throwing it does more damage than normal throws, also if you do like an R1 attack and stop for a second youll notice Kratos switches his stance which you can then do different combos. Something i wish i had learned earlier on my playthrough. Love this series
Start using permafrost and immolation . When you haven’t taken damage while attacking for a while you can press block+triangle to power up the axe or blades with elemental damage and it gives the axe ice projectiles when you melee
you'll get your rewards in Niflheim under the raven Tree after killing odins ravens... also I'd suggest turning on auto pickup health stones ... helps in fights
You may want to consider changing Valor back to Rage bc with Rage you get to deal damage and heal simultaneously, plus you're invulnerable while Rage is active - Valor only heals you.
Valor can interrupt almost any attack in the game, grants far more healing than rage, and you get multiple uses compared to rage’s limited use. I think it’s helpful to test both to see which fits a player’s play-style.
Bro Vanaheim is the most fun realm to explore in ragnarock specially when you unlock a certain area in this realm, not gonna spoil it for you but don’t ignore the side quest in this realm it has everything epic bosses, mystery, armor sets and what not you’re gonna love it
There’s an upgrade where you press triangle at a certain timing after attacking and you’ll charge up your axe/ blades instantly, instead of holding/ spamming triangle
if you want play hand to hand combat get the Lunda’s Armor Set thats the best in slot for hand to hand till late game because the armor lets you inflict poison stat and that stat is broken when you build up poison bar, the enemies level is lower by 1 level and debuffs their attack power its really good.
Hey man a heads up. Bosses that have elemental sspects take equal damage from all kratos' weapons so beating ice creatures with the axe and like the hateful fire drauger with the chains is still very much a possibility. The only time that special elemental damage has to be done will be indicated on the boss healthbar and only for a couple hits showing you what weapon to use to drain that elemental buff and then you can use your entire arsenal again! The fire lion at 32:25 is an example where his healthbsr is hidden with fire so do ice damage to expose the healthbar and then you can use chains. (Even if you don't counteract the elements correctly you can beat enemies and never reaslise your battle was tougher than meant to be)
if you hold r1 on the blades of chaos it will do a combo that deals alot of dmg you should probablly begin to use it, and you can remove the explosion thing from draugr bosses (draugr holes) by throwing your blades at him (L2 and R1)
59:11 When Baldur's curse was broken, his tattoos started glowing in a similar way. This scene is a mirror to that, something I didn't even realize until now 😆this game has so many cool little details.
Let me just say, explore all of vannaheim. All of it. It's bigger than you think and there's a lot of really cool lore. Plus goodies to find. Face cam..... Meh. Not needed. Only if you want but meh. The commentary is good
btw parrying is easier as atreus because of the shield ur using as kratos.....i think parrying is easier with the default one(the round one) instead of the "high risk high reward" one
Nah the dauntless shield actually increases your parry window, but you can be stunned for a lot longer if you just block a standard attack. High risk = easily stunned, high reward = slightly larger parry window. I think Atreus parry is easier for game design reasons, allowing you a little forgiveness for a combat kit that isn't as versatile.
I am waiting for your videos of god of war like a sad little puppy waiting to be adopted. Webcam would be a nice addition but I feel like you do not necessarily need it (you could just intervene at times or something) as your commentary is the best. I was mad when you finished GOD 2018 and will be just as mad if not even more when you finish this one. Keep it up man, your reactions are funny asl
What a guy! Drops a video on my birthday. Nothing I’d rather watch rn **Also when you use valour rage mode, use it right before an attack, basically as a parry. You will negate the damage, get a buff of strength and you can use it on red (unblockable) attacks
Bro is this Kratos' Rage of Sparta theme? 0:05 Also complete that like goal boys 🗣 Also bro Glaive of Dodher 44:34 is a good relic, it gives bifrost to the enemy you should equip it
a tip to how enable quick turn bro i hope ypu see my comment... so basically you go to the setting and game play, then navigate down you then see the touch pad customization, like it says swipe up or down or right or left and you see that it says none, from there you can customize the touch pad for example you can make the "swipe up" to perform quick turn... hope that helps
Great vidéo as always man keep going !!! (Ps at this point of the Game u should already have heavy rune attack why don’t u equip them for more fun to Watch :) )
Maybe nobody will agree but I would like to see you play resident evil 7 and 8. Your commentary with those games would make an amazing series. But I know you normally play souls like games and not a resident evil type of story game but still
Personally I don't like playing Atreus. Like it's cool with the variation, and it was cool the first time I played it. But when I replay Ragnarök I'm always like "Oh, no, not the Atreus part..".
Polar, there is a saying in German that goes "ein Polar Video am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und sorgen" It is said that a Polar video in the morning drives away grief and worries and it is true
I dont give advice on equipment, because its annoying, but I did want to mention since you're here if you get Lunda's gear you can de-level enimies with your fists...temporarily. I only bring it up because you seem to hate when they upgrade.
Thanks for these series you are such a funny youtuber and watching you play games I have / want to play is so good Idk if you'd like it but horizon zero dawn and horizon forbidden west are super fun games
Ama put you on homie, that shatterstar shield one of the best skill shields in the game. If you time it right you can parry red ring attacks. I'll let you figure it out on your own tho.
Hey Homie, if you want a higher life force, or health, please invest in Vit type gear, higher vitality higher health. also if you can find it there is a charm that increases your rage meter depending on your vitality
Early in the vid brok calls Sindri a word that I’m assuming is the dwarven equivalent of “brown noser” a.k.a. a kiss-ass because sindri is trying to keep Freya from trying to kill them.
Ayyy my boi went back to Midgard to get his blades 🔥 @17:50 that's what the F***K I've been saying!!! Learn combos my guy you'll enjoy this game even more and no that tired Ahh axe combo you've BEEN doing is not it!
Honestly, I think it’s more fun having you off-screen and then when you need to make comments away from the game it cuts to you in the editing room. It’s a good format.
I honestly don't mind the no-webcam. It kinda suits you and keeps you unique.
I second this
I wouldn't mind webcam, means we get to see how he raging.
Ye, i think webcam on rages is the only thing i want😂
Think it would still be entertaining regardless
Agreed
Fun fact, before killing Nidhogg if you go back to where Ratatoskr is, if you look over the edge, you can see Nidhogg along with her children, the lyndwrms, protecting the world tree's roots.
Getting cutscene executed by an enemy is crazy
44:34 bro read everything but what the item actually does 😭
It's one of the good ones, also Huldra Project 9 is up there for reasons
10:53 the rewards await you in Niflheim
28:42 Fun fact, you’re invincible when using environmental objects to attack, you don’t have to play around opportunities to use them
10:52 If you go to niflheim there’ll be a tree with six chest in front of it. The more ravens you kill the more chests you can open.
1:17 The PTSD We all got from 2018 triggered all of us xD
xD thankfully this time around it was much easier
24:30 that actually isn't a soul eat. Ancient and soul eaters look the same and the only way to differentiate then is the name above the heath bar and if someone tells you.

Shatter star is also really good at animation cancelling.

The stance switch only unlocks later in the game, but the rest of your tips are solid.
@ ahh good call iv been playing NG+ been awhile since i played NG thanks for the correction
Go to Niflheim and you will be able to unlock the rewards for the ravens, it’s a new set of armor and the big runic attacks
You have to travel to Nifelheim to get the rewards for killing Odens Ravens
Start using permafrost and immolation . When you haven’t taken damage while attacking for a while you can press block+triangle to power up the axe or blades with elemental damage and it gives the axe ice projectiles when you melee
you'll get your rewards in Niflheim under the raven Tree after killing odins ravens... also I'd suggest turning on auto pickup health stones ... helps in fights
1:12 lol 😂
PTSD is hitting him hard probably.
The rewards you get for destroying spectral ravens are in Niflheim.. if or when you have access to that realm.
You may want to consider changing Valor back to Rage bc with Rage you get to deal damage and heal simultaneously, plus you're invulnerable while Rage is active - Valor only heals you.
Valor can interrupt almost any attack in the game, grants far more healing than rage, and you get multiple uses compared to rage’s limited use. I think it’s helpful to test both to see which fits a player’s play-style.
@@Fabe919 yeah I see your point. My comment is moot anyway bc he changed back to Rage shortly after I posted this anyway hahaha
I LOVE this goddamn game, excited to see this to the end and to see the ghost of tsushima too, i'm officially subbed now, sick ass content
Bro Vanaheim is the most fun realm to explore in ragnarock specially when you unlock a certain area in this realm, not gonna spoil it for you but don’t ignore the side quest in this realm it has everything epic bosses, mystery, armor sets and what not you’re gonna love it
If you charge the axe with triangle the throws are more powerful also throw with the heavy attack button
You have to go to Niflheim for your rewards for killing the ravens but you have to kill them all to get the boss fight.
The fact that freya goes from fighting with kratos to being his ally in such a small time frame is unbelievable
You gotta use the sonic. Sonic is very fucking strong.
1:00:30 bro thinks he's Omni-man 🤣🤣
bro you are in vanaheim without heavy runic attacks, you have missed something
There’s an upgrade where you press triangle at a certain timing after attacking and you’ll charge up your axe/ blades instantly, instead of holding/ spamming triangle
A tip about the rage heal, its a parry too, blocks damage if timed right and gives a damage boost
if you want play hand to hand combat get the Lunda’s Armor Set
thats the best in slot for hand to hand till late game
because the armor lets you inflict poison stat and that stat is broken
when you build up poison bar, the enemies level is lower by 1 level and debuffs their attack power its really good.

Loving the videos man. You gotta do some of the side content to get more runic attack options.
if you hold r1 on the blades of chaos it will do a combo that deals alot of dmg you should probablly begin to use it,
and you can remove the explosion thing from draugr bosses (draugr holes) by throwing your blades at him (L2 and R1)
I was not expecting an upload today definitely a happy and welcomed suprise
59:11 When Baldur's curse was broken, his tattoos started glowing in a similar way. This scene is a mirror to that, something I didn't even realize until now 😆this game has so many cool little details.

If you use the healing rage like a parry you get MORE heals instead of taking damage
It’s a W strat. Like if a shield break happens, and the enemy has a follow up attack, you can use rage to avoid the damage in general!
btw parrying is easier as atreus because of the shield ur using as kratos.....i think parrying is easier with the default one(the round one) instead of the "high risk high reward" one
Nah the dauntless shield actually increases your parry window, but you can be stunned for a lot longer if you just block a standard attack. High risk = easily stunned, high reward = slightly larger parry window.

love your videos! ma favorite streamer! your a MONSTER!
I can only imagine what an adult Atreus would be capable of. Hybrid Brute and Range playstyle
He wont be a brute I think. He'll turn into more of like using bifrost as arrows and if he needs strength then he'll just turn into an animal.
What a guy! Drops a video on my birthday. Nothing I’d rather watch rn
**Also when you use valour rage mode, use it right before an attack, basically as a parry. You will negate the damage, get a buff of strength and you can use it on red (unblockable) attacks

Maybe nobody will agree but I would like to see you play resident evil 7 and 8. Your commentary with those games would make an amazing series. But I know you normally play souls like games and not a resident evil type of story game but still
Adding a reply so there is blue reply word under the comment so maybe more people will stop at this comment
my boy, you gotta start checking the map regularly if you want to find the birds, I swear its helpful
THAT draugr hole ... i took that personally when i played this game 😂😂
with the birds you gotta go to nifilhiem
Personally I don't like playing Atreus. Like it's cool with the variation, and it was cool the first time I played it. But when I replay Ragnarök I'm always like "Oh, no, not the Atreus part..".
For real the no webcam is really solid on your vids but the occasional drop in or rage moment would be 🔥🔥🔥
Polar, there is a saying in German that goes "ein Polar Video am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und sorgen" It is said that a Polar video in the morning drives away grief and worries and it is true
Based on title alone… you’ve seen nothing yet brother
I dont give advice on equipment, because its annoying, but I did want to mention since you're here if you get Lunda's gear you can de-level enimies with your fists...temporarily. I only bring it up because you seem to hate when they upgrade.
chat does he know? I forgot
Oh by the way, the healing rage ability can be used to negate an incoming single instance of damage. Almost like a parry.
odins crows can be exchanged into chests with very very good loot at a realm i dont remember
but its from day 1 i think
No Webcam except for rage moments i will still leave a like though
Bro try hypersion grapple skill.
It's op.
Let's hope dis fuy doesn't forget about God Of War Valhalla
Soon as you said that all i heard inside was “FALCON PUNCH🦅” capcom classic 😭 29:57
Broo the bifrost chakrams was my favorite relic in the game up to that point, I got so pissed when he consciously CHOSE to ignore it💀
Do lunda’s side quest, her armour is really good, until lvl 10, after that the very base armour is the best stats wise
Absolute Cinema 🎥
"Man I got exams soon I gotta study"
*checks notification
"Nevermind"
im ngl the glaive of dodher relic is easily the best relic you have right now and not equipping it to at least try it hurts my soul
Thanks for these series you are such a funny youtuber and watching you play games I have / want to play is so good
Idk if you'd like it but horizon zero dawn and horizon forbidden west are super fun games
My boy deserve s good 15k likes for these cinema slices of playthrough! Run him up yall 🤞🏿
Fun fact, your relic has the ability to stun enemies in short range
Did he leave the Frost Laser axe runic in the play ? I guess its ok even if it is as it is not as powerful as prev game.
26:56 she would have said something different if you one shot it. Ha.
My favorite strategy against Draugr Holes is to use Rage on the friends, then kill the main one
Shatter star shield is one of the best shields for an aggressive play style
1:02:36 bro is feining for that shit 😂😂
LEARN THE HEAL PARRY ITS SO SATISFYING
U draw all the thumbnails cuz they always look really fire🔥🔥
Use tap Y and rb not only rt, rb hits multiple targets and push them back
Glad to see not the only one who struggled on that Hateful fight a lil
Bro there is a runic attack in svartalfheim for the axe at the mining rigs called Njords tempest
About the green crows, they're easier to find just keep your ear open
25:56 Kaido ahh laugh
Ama put you on homie, that shatterstar shield one of the best skill shields in the game. If you time it right you can parry red ring attacks. I'll let you figure it out on your own tho.
The raven rewards are in the realm of the ravens in nifilhiem
Valor is the best rage mode in the game, use it as a parry to get gain more health and block incoming damage
Hey Homie, if you want a higher life force, or health, please invest in Vit type gear, higher vitality higher health. also if you can find it there is a charm that increases your rage meter depending on your vitality
W polar he's back with another bangerr😩

"I killed your son, your nephew - destroyed him 😈"
Remember Brok’s riddle. It’s gonna be important later
Personally don’t mind no webcam but would love to see the rage moments imo
Don't underestimate Freyr's dinosaur horn, bruh.😂
You should upgrade them handles.. imo one of the best stats & perks for the blades. Top 3 I'd say me goat
Ayyy my boi went back to Midgard to get his blades 🔥
@17:50 that's what the F***K I've been saying!!! Learn combos my guy you'll enjoy this game even more and no that tired Ahh axe combo you've BEEN doing is not it!
Lundas cuirass was really good for me playing through give me god of war. Very strong throughout the whole game.
Honestly, I think it’s more fun having you off-screen and then when you need to make comments away from the game it cuts to you in the editing room. It’s a good format.
I personally like your format as it is.
I don't need a Web cam.
another day another goated thumbnail
