Would you make any adjustments to this build to make it better?

[@DraSean]

Yes fo sho

[@owenz291]

yes use the spiritual engraving it required 310 cooldown but that easy to get with the bezerker gauntlets instead of zeus gauntlets

[@MrPeasant213]

Is there an updated version of the lunda poison build ? If so pls do a video on it

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

I've been using this armour set for a few days, but I will say that I would recommend trying out putting all Berserker enchantments into the amulet. Doing this not only increases all of your stats by around 50 each, but it allows for another secret buff to be accessed. Similarly to if you were to put one enchantment from each realm in, this buff grants Kratos the 'Nine Realms' buff, as well as a 4-second realm shift. How you activate this is to simply use your rage. I would recommend using 'Fury' if you intend on using this, as it would allow for you to continuously grant the buffs (multiple 4-second realm shifts is insane). I would also use the Berserker King's relic, as it just does pretty good damage, whilst also keeping the enemy(ies) busy with continuous attacks. Either this, or the hilt of Meign, which increases Kratos' melee attacks (combine this with the 'Soulless' buff, with the zeus bonuses, with the 4-second realm shift, with the buff to 'Immolation'/'Permafrost'/Maestrom' with the 'Nine realms' buff)... Truly deadly.

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

@@MrPeasant213 It'll be pretty much the same thing, except upgrading everything to 10 and perhaps changing out some enchantments. Depends on what you want to make.

[@Batman-ps4om]

When I fought Gna in my first playthrough to get platinum, I didn't use any runic attacks because I always end up getting "For Asgard".

[@ravn3830]

Bro so fucking true. The only thing you hear against Gna is "For Asgard, For Asgard, For Asgard"

[@airyshark324]

It’s not hard to dodge also use quicker runic attacks or idk I use the runes it’s pretty easy but also might be difficultly I’m on balance but on ng+ Ima go for god of war

[@413_GroomLake_Rd.]

At least it't not that annoyning as Sigruns "Valhaaaaaaaaaaaall" ;-) And it's quite unfair when they smash it in between a runic attack and you can't dodge it then

[@AverageLobotomite]

Where do you get these "berseker enchants

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

@@AverageLobotomite The Berserker enchantments are obtained by defeating the different Berserkers on NG+. Don't think it's difficulty-specific, but I got them on GMGOW+, so if you battle them on this, you should get them. It's probably not difficulty-locked, though.

[@AverageLobotomite]

@@AManWithAGODComplex oh ok good to know

[@AManWithAGODComplex]

@@AverageLobotomite Again, though, the only way to get the buff is to equip all of them, which means you will not be allowed any other enchantments that may provide Kratos with other unique abilities. Still, though, these buffs are insane.

[@mcarr416ix]

For the Muspelheim enchants, I'm pretty sure the damage boost is still applied after you pop the triangle ability (furious immolation) and until it runs out. I was talking with people earlier and was assured this has been tested to be true. I think this makes Muspelheim definitely a better choice with this build than Asgard, especially since it's based on Runic stat which you have more of with this setup. Also, work in Spiritual Engraving if you can keep your cooldown at 310 - this is another 45% damage increase, more than the two Zues pieces together when you use 3 Runic attacks. I feel like a lot of people are over looking this enchant.

[@fredericomiguel5508]

I pretty much used muspelheim enchants since the start since my build is making my permafrost/immolation/maelstrom gain super fast so I can use consume them to have a bust in damage ( L1 + triangle) and it mealts anything once I have it. Especially with the axe. I do like this builds but it’s too focused on one main attack. I do prefer to variety.

[@noroi-7ds]

I’m using a defence stun build, currently sitting at 1076 defence and stun everything with one or two punches bare hands, weapons are quite fast to stun too, few hits.

[@Skuzza-_-]

As much as my expertise is making op builds, I love a build I made and haven't uploaded based around dodges, with the new effect from the cloak of the black bear, I made an incredibly enjoyable build that is strong but not overpowered. That's is currently my favourite build, however the best build being permafrost with helheim, muspelheim, vanaheim enchantments, and handles and ronds that increase those stats required to make your enchantments op, and then using the berserker chest with the Zeus arms and waist and you've got the same mega build that was showcased killing gna in 10 or less seconds amplified with Zeus amour, this is much more viable then taking 2+ minutes to kill a boss. That's the best build I believe, and at some point once I fully finish my ng++ play through I will make a video on It. The build you've made here can also be amplified, and I did make a similar one myself not long ago, it is probably the second best build when it come to killing bosses asap.

[@garyhall2770]

So far I'm using all the survival armor pieces that are maxed out and my strength, defense and runic are all around 550, with the other stats close to being at full bars.

[@coopsliz8432]

Show your build bro?

[@theivans90]

Idk you guys but I'm enjoying a bit more the second run for Ragnarok in ng+ because I already know the puzzels and secrets so I don't get frustrated trying to resolve them...

[@xSIJUx]

correction: -"frustrated with atreus and mimir solving them"

[@PKLO9727]

Tbh we’re just getting started. I saw all the new enchantments and there are some insane ones you can combine. I’m willing to sacrifice three for those BROKEN ones

[@motonoob5485]

I definitely need to practice the parry, triangle, R2 flame whiplash move and timing. any extra advice is much appreciated

[@baminhtang1203]

You're right, I'm better at dying more than ever when i used this armor set

[@BuddyChy]

I thought the flame whiplash perk only applies to the r1 attack. The description is misleading imo, but it makes sense. Now I know do thank you

[@helios98AD]

I'm currently making two unique builds I haven't seen on youtube yet. A Hexflame (Blades of Chaos/Hex) build, and a BiFrost (Leviathan Axe/Bifrost) build. Both are supremely aggro, and abuses essentially double status damage. Any help would be cool, since I'm more fond of the Hexflame build, which takes more advantage of rage, but the BiFrost build has potential for cooldown advantage and staggering. Thanks again, and looking forward to the next video (Maybe something IcyHot).

[@stantonscott]

I had no clue there was this much customization in the game. never played it. May need to now.

[@eziozander4851]

you should use ivaldi's anvil its really good

[@Bonbonbon739]

For the shield I love rond of obliteration for the valkarie shards that home in on any enemy like little missles and there’s no cooldown.

[@xSIJUx]

and no damage.

[@jackshapiro4668]

I made an infinite runic attack setup, and it makes this game 10x more fun than it already is.

[@legendenclave1770]

tell me

[@user-kv5qk4xr3t]

I like this a lot but can you make a build using the entire set?

[@HyperEditzz103]

Zoos build kills the huntress in the intro💀🗿

[@413_GroomLake_Rd.]

When I fought Hrolf and Gna on my first run (which was also my platinum run) I didn't even care about special "builds" or using special enchantment, to have a special boosts or sth like that. I used the Steinbjorn Armor to beat all the bersekers with all defense encreasing enchantments and for Hrolf and Gna, I switched to Vidars armor with all strength encreasing enchantments. Can't remember to have used L1+Triangle boost ever. Now on NG+, I really need to take it up a notch and take care of perfect combinations for Gna, while for Hrolf, Steinbjorn armor was enough this time. Whats really bothering me, is, you need to beat Gna for the last piece of it, because I always leave her for very last, so what's this special armor for then?

[@johnschwaller6512]

Is Zeus armor only for ngp? Also if I don’t have the berserker set yet which should I use? I’m in my first playthrough I hear Lynda’s armor is good

[@user-sexiro]

you can make a ng+ of a ng+? i want a full playthrough with this build

[@IsaacZenga]

I use deadly obsidian blade handles just because of their op strength stat

[@samuraigames4125]

Note: this build is amazing but you can also use the spiritual engraving instead of boon of wrath. Because it goes so well with the seal of runic storm and then activating your relic.

[@jaja8951]

How do u get to the remnants of Asgard to the right of Fraya’s camp? I have been running round like an idiot trying to get to the part of Zeus’s armour. DAM!

Which build is better this one or the berserker and vidar one?

[@neofytospatsias7927]

I'm playing on give me no mercy and this build literally destroyed the 3 vikings whatever their names are but I'm dying easily and I'm trying to get used to it

[@mythradevadoss4622]

But on your 2nd playthrough you can get the armour you missed which includes the beserker set

[@brolyschroeder8348]

They need to add more difficult bosses so that way it makes the game much more fun. Looks like Gna and king berserker are the only hard bosses to defeat.

[@user-zc8bg9ht5w]

I think I found a better one: You need to have the Berserker chestplate + the Vidar's arms and the dragon waist

[@Chad-bq9zg]

Use this build for my runic attacks, then switch back to my defence build with 1,000 defence, which causes crazy stagger damaged due to having an amulet that increases stagger based on defence.

[@xSIJUx]

what.

Can you get sovereign coals again even after you defeat all drauger holes?

Wait.... I have to complete remnants of asgard to get the waist and gauntlets. So this means I have to complete the game AGAIN first? Because remnants is end game favors

[@malabird]

Hey I think this comment might help alot of people! If you lock on to an enemy, especially for boss fights, artillery of the ancients will follow and throw onto the lock on. Plus if you spam triangle you get a ton of spear explosions

I love this game but ive realized that once you beat the game and start doing end game stuff on the harder difficulties, the only way you can beat the tougher bosses is just doing the same couple moves over and over.. im not saying its easy because its fucking not, but the basic game plan is make a build centered around 2 or 3 moves and using the right relic and keep using those 2 or 3 moves over and over... i miss the older god of wars sometimes

It's weird that you didn't test this on GMGOW difficulty before making this video. its almost like you lack the skill to get through that difficulty in the first place. you didn't do your due diligence, and have a well earned dislike. Hel's touch stuns everyone, even on GMGOW, unless they have the runic armor buff active. The 'Thrust of a Thousand Soldiers' runic attack is generally trash because it pushes them back out of range; which is why Gna was able to attack you during your animation. A better runic attack that late in the game is the one that generates tornadoes.
