What I like about your videos, and I know I’m late to the party on this, is that it takes a game where I feel like I’m drowning from too many choices and throws me a lifeline by explaining in-depth what those choices are and what they mean. I’m coming from the 2018 game and this seems like 100 times the size of that game.

[@JeremyDadHat]

I made my way through the game sticking to the “free” side quest armors because I’m a resource hoarder. Lunda’s set shreds for sure! Great video and can’t wait to see more of your Ragnarok content!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thank you! And yeah honestly, the side quest items are some of the best (like Lunda’s). I actually don’t like most of the items that you straight up purchase in the shop.

[@pausecode]

I was waiting for this and not disappointed, once you finish these I’ll be playing through the game again with these videos in mind. Much love Arktix!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😄 More build videos to come! I appreciate your support 🙏🤜🤛

[@drakejohnson5386]

I found the guardian shield to be the best parry tool. It is really great with follow up parries, which is where you block the first attack and parry the next attack. It is also great for learning to parry, because if you are too early you will either just block or have your guard broken while taking no or minimal damage.

[@TBH_Shadow]

Thanks for the quality content that you never fail to produce for us. Continue to be as awesome and detailed as ever Arktix.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks Baltazar 😁 Glad you find my content to be good quality 🙏 Appreciate your support as always 🤜🤛

[@bullish3584]

Lundas is the play. I'm on my 2nd playthrough right now on gmgow and that is going to be my main build until late game.

[@ArktixOfficial]

It's definitely really strong!

[@hope4ourfallen]

What shield rond do you use with your lunda armor? I am using the dauntless shield but don't know what rond to go with🤷‍♂️

[@GodLimone]

@@hope4ourfallen dauntless is a good shield for most types of builds it looks like. I would use either dauntless or the og guardian shield. About the rond, in this build in specific I suggest one with lots of strength and luck.

[@priyanshubagga3650]

Great video. I was rocking the complete radiance set at this point in the game, realm shifting is the most satisfying way to play the game.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! And nice. Yeah I like realm shifts too. Definitely very satisfying 😄

I found your channel while playing Horizon Forbidden West, and now that I've started God of War Ragnarok, I found your channel again. I couldn't be happier! You consistently have the best info and most polished videos of any gaming KZbinr out there IMHO. I'm glad to see your channel growing! Thanks for all you do and I look forward to more GOW content and future Horizon content. The games you cover seem to align with the ones I'm playing, so I'm sure I'll be set for the near future! I wish you a prosperous and awesome 2023!

“Once the channel hits 20k subs” crazy that in only a year that number was quadrupled, and from what I’ve seen its well deserved

[@SunguBub]

It's about time to thank you for your awesome vids. Pure knowledge delivered in humble and efficient style - in my experience a rare combination here. You taught me well and gave me so much insight in Forbidden West and now you do it again in Ragnarök. You bet I'll be back for more training. Thanks so much and a big cheer from Germany!

[@christopherbeehler7276]

For that poison build, using the wrath spartan rage and the boon of wrath would work well too because the enchantment makes it so when you activate your Spartans rage it consumes the status effect on an enemy and causes massive damage.

[@james_tiberius_kirk73]

Still working my way through my first playthrough and this guide was most helpful. Thanks mate and Happy New Year from AUSTRALIA!

Man I loved this build!! If you didn’t show the lundas armor y would have never found it, its a god tier one, looking forward to the late build!! Keep it up

[@joelondon9705]

So i was using the full Lunda's build and the Lunda's/Dragon Scale build to great effect, but i just recently made a Sol's Spaulder/Fate Breaker wrist and waist build to do damage based on rage, and it works quite well also. Not to mention it offers good survivability.

[@Euuuhhhful]

Again in this video, very well done!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Hey thanks! Welcome and thanks for your sub 😄 I’m working on the end game builds video as we speak! 👍

[@muhammadhasan5743]

Honestly, I don't like either of the nidavellir builds because my play style is not suited to it. I like the Lunda build but I will use the radiance belt and wrists because bare handed attacks aren't very powerful so I'll do a realm shift attack bare handed to get the poison effect and then do runic attacks because since the radiance armour has more runic and I can efficiently use the lower defense of the enemies and the i frames of runic attacks to my advantage. Plus realm can really come in clutch sometimes and also I do a lot of parrying so I'll get the status effect anyway a lot so I don't need the extra damage from the Lunda wrist and waist armors. Anyways, great video. I watched your combat tips and incorporated them into my play style and it massively helps. Sorry for such a long comment

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! Glad you found the combat tips video helpful 😄 I agree realm shifts are fun!

Will you also do a boss guide for GOD OF WAR: RAGNAROK? Personally, having just come from FORBIDDEN WEST, I was initially really confused about how to fight Nidhogg. That is until I realized that you're actually supposed to take it HEAD-ON!

[@ArktixOfficial]

Individual videos for bosses you mean?

[@daanduijkers4845]

@@ArktixOfficial Yeah! How else?

[@ArktixOfficial]

Ok yeah I gotcha. I just thought maybe you meant 1 video that explains how to best bosses in general, which I don’t think would be very useful lol. Yeah I could maybe do boss guides. Problem is you have to play through to the point where you’re at each boss to get clips and record a tutorial. Kind of a pain lol

[@furiousstyles08]

Lunda's poison armor. When you have to shred bosses and elites expeditiously. Accept no substitutes. You continue to be the unsung hero of early and mid-game builds. Rock on witcha bad self.

[@Thunderflare99]

What is the best way to build Kratos' overall level? I'm pretty far into the main game (past Heimdall, closing out Crater area). I'm still at level 5 and I am partial to the Lunda gear. I like to mix and match, but the trophy requirement is to fully upgrade one set of armor. So I don't want to waste a bunch of resources and haven't fully committed to anything. I just want to get his level up so I can stop having such a hard time with the "Hateful" things and especially the Berserkers.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! And yeah if you’re just starting your second trip to Vanaheim I’d say it’s worth upgrading this gear. You’ll be able to use it for a while. Plus you might even want to use it for the end game anyway.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Working on the late/end game builds video now! And no secret to my strength being high here. I just do a lot of side content and level up my gear often. I do generally prioritize the enchantments with a strength stat, so that helps a bit.

[@Blaccwolf36]

I find it that I truly am a balanced player with the default armor but I like to be more on offense while my perk stones have defense, just finding ways to add on to the default armors stats

[@LeFisheboi]

I got bored so I made my build pretty much all default gear Fimbulwinter armor, basic handles on leviathan and chaos, and the guardian shield, I didn't have the default spear handle or shield rond on tho

Lunda’s set is awesome! Honestly I kept going back to it far into late game.

[@ArktixOfficial]

Totally! Yeah it's one of the best armor sets in the game honestly.

[@saremwaheed5279]

Best mid game armor is radiance chest peice, guiding light wrest peice and bserker weast peice

[@saremwaheed5279]

This build depends on how good you are in the game because you at least have to defeat 4 starting bserker's the at least 4

[@ArktixOfficial]

I agree that's a nice build. Wouldn't consider it mid-game though since, like you said, you need to beat a few Beserkers to get the waist piece. I'd consider it more of a late game build, but if you can get it early, yeah totally go for it.

You can use the shatter star if you’d like. It will work with the Lunda gear. I’d prefer to stick with the Dauntless though.

[@erikmitre4341]

Perfect video once again! Once you poison enemies, does the 40% increase in melee damage from wrist and belt pieces come only from spear, blade, and axe attacks or can I keep using bare handed attacks to do that 40% increased damage?

[@ArktixOfficial]

Thanks! Actually you want to keep using the bare handed attacks for maximum damage.

[@bizzy511]

After poisoning the enemy, will attacks with axe or blades count as melee damage, or fist only?

[@ArktixOfficial]

Yup! However, the perk on the Lunda chest piece makes bare-handed attacks most effective overall. Plus you don’t have to waste time switching weapons if you just keep going bare-handed.

[@darkinsanity98473]

For me strength and defense builds are about the most boring possible build. For early mid game like this video, I like to use the Radiance set, still pretty vanilla but pretty cool and useful effect in slow time dodges. But the first point of the game where I can make a built that really suits me is late mid game, right around when you get the Spear. Giptumadr armor for being able to use your Relic and Runic attacks more often, Radiance gauntlets so you can still do some fun stuff with quick dodges and slow time and the Berserker Waist for even more Relic use and the great stats on it. With focus on stats like Runic, cooldown and luck.

[@hotheadzz]

How do u have vit 2 and so much can someone tell me

[@ArktixOfficial]

So there’s 2 ways to increase your health bar. Boost the vitality stat or find Idunn Apples. I do a lot of exploring and side quests as I play, so I find a lot of apples.

I wish I caught the bad reviews before buying this game. Damn are they right! I thought this game was going to be so much better than it was. It feels like 70% forced movie watching and 30% actual game play. You are forced to spend so much time watching videos and there is only 1 way of travel and puzzles are forced upon you. When you can actually play the game itself the combat is fun, but in many ways broken.

[@jagger198]

This. This is why the 2018 version and Ragnarok are shit. God Of War has always been (and always should be) hack and slash. There are thousands of RPG's out there with all this armour, enchantment, runic shit. If I was ever a fan of them, I'd have played them. However, I'm not a fan of them so basically what has happened is, my absolute favourite gaming franchise has been ruined by the introduction of these mechanics. I loved the God Of War series. Loved. Now, I have to force myself to play it for half an hour. Nothing but disappointment here. Corey Barlog once siad in an interview about God Of War 2, 'I don't want to be known as the guy that killed God Of War', well for me, you did it in 2018.
