I miss the barehanded executions and the shield skill tree. I personally loved the shield skill tree. Tying it all together used to be satisfying. Weird to me why nit instead keep all original gow skills and add on all the new skills. Also the 3 hit head shot throw caused an explosion it was a nice reward for being precise during combat. Just weird to me.
The basic shield skills are already unlocked from the start, and you can basically get the other skills from the old game from switching between shields
If you get hit by a yellow attack / are stunned, you can snap out of it by using a runic attack. This means that any quick-fire runic attack that stuns your opponent, allows you to interrupt your enemies combo. Also it feels nice to do as revenge.
One of my biggest regrets was basically ignoring all the “technique” abilities for each weapon that involves using the triangle button through my entire playthrough. I’m going to play through again and focus on it specifically this time around just to get better at using them and enjoy a different experience. To be fair I could attribute some of my ignorance to choosing to use Lunda’s armor set as soon as I got it and primarily used a pure poison, bare handed combat style along with my stonewall shield. Very unique play style and I’m excited to try something completely different this time.
I love parrying so much I just wish i got better at it earlier on in the game. Chaining parries together against the Berserker bosses is probably one of the most satisfying feelings in the game
I've found the guardian shield to be the better option agains the berserker warriors, because with an initial parry and an immediate follow up attack you can interrupt anything that was going to follow.
Here's another helpful tip since I noticed that you haven't gotten all the skills their additional benefits. Go into the Practice arena when you unlock its world and spam the abilities until you unlock their additional benefits. The enemies are infinite and your health is infinite too so you don't have to worry about running out of either until you have to decide if you want more element damage or a faster time to freeze or burn your foes with your special attacks.
The stonewall blocks yellow attacks as long as you are not fully charged so it is different than the dauntless and can be better against some bosses that use a lot of yellow ring attacks
It's usable, you just need to activate as you would a parry. I was using it as an 'oh shit' button and was just losing the health it gave me. I'm pretty sure it slightly interrupts enemies near you if you get it spot on
Yeah, read the move again and you’ll see you actually get a health boost when you activate it as a parry. It’s also a great way to just stun enemy’s if you mess up. With practice it’s basically my go to when starting gmgow mode.
4:34-4:38, can anyone pls tell me what are those two semicircle rings charging up does (the ones that are on the left attached to the weapon charging gauge) and how to activate or get those in the game?
Guardian shield has one amazing thing if you ask me. After you parry, when kratos slam the ground or throwback the damage he is still invulnurable to damage, also this throwback interrupt enemy bosses attack. So most of the time you parry/deal damage/not gonna take damage while throwback damage like other shields/interrupt enemy. I think it is way better than other ones by its just me😊
I love that they gave the option to turn off skills. I kept recalling my axe accidentally trying to fight barehanded and once i turned it off i was able to beat the boss.
Runic attacks were pretty disappointing in ragnarok, they felt like they had as much or less weight than a regular weapon combo, ended up not even using them right after I got the spear
I used the tower shield for most of the game, until I got the Guardian shield back. Easily the best (and best looking) shield in the game imo. Being able to counterattack after every parry, as well as having two different options for a counterattack, is just unbeatable.
The HIGHEST RISK, HIGHEST reward shield is the Shatter Star. The shield punch can Negate or Reflect (if your timing is perfect) All attacks that aren't grabs. And since the reflect damage is calculated based on an amount proportionate to the damage that would have been done to Kratos it gets more powerful the weaker Kratos is compared to the enemy. It can can do 90% of a health segment on a red health bar enemy.
i personally think that the guardian shield is a LOT better than the dauntless in almost every situation. while the dauntless has an on-demand "retaliation" it has just slightly too much delay (even if used instantly after a parry) to interrupt a lot of enemy's (esp. boss') attack-chains, while the guardian shield's R1 retaliation does interrupt those chains (not all, but very many of them). also, the stun-dmg from shield-retaliation is so meager (at least on gmgow) that its not really smth to look for when picking your preferred shield. only "downside" of the guardian shield is, that it only has DEF as a stat while all other shields have one additonal stat, allthough its such a small difference that i prefer the potential interrupt from guardian in almost every situation. if you are good enough with your parries, all shields but guardian and dauntless become completely useless too imo which is quite sad.
It's so satisfying running in, charging up permafrost, immolation or maelstrom, applying status effects, then bodying a boss with skill after skill then rage out to melt their health bar
After you parry if you hit r1 right after and do the shield bash it will stop almost every enemy from going the follow up attacks so you don't have to parry more. Helpful on the Berserkers so far the most, for me anyways.
Yeah the parry has a new mechanic.. Has to be when the enemies are closer.. Or after the ring disappears About the elemantals.. What effect does the green arrows have.
Sonic (and all the elements) have a description in the codex part of the menu in game. Sonic causes enemies to reverberate and pulse but when applied in the air, they freeze in place for like 1-2 secs per arrow. Hope this helps fam ✌️
I'm after finishing the game and never even took any notice of the permafrost and other skills... L1 triangle... I really missed out.... Lol... On the road to platinum so time to get using them
Permafrost adds frost to all your axe attacks. Immolation let's you charge it and use R1 or R2 for unique 🔥 attacks. On the spears version, it makes it so your attacks have additional stun. Hope that helps 😃
Nice video. I really like switching elements gameplay. Or playing with stun dmg + high parry. Oh, and exploiting verticality On Give me God of War, those "builds/tactics" are a lifesaver.
Hey Khraze! Love ur content and I REALLT hope you read this. I love your videos and I wanna watch them but I like being super spoiler free on new areas and bosses/enemies. Any chance for future builds and tips and tricks you only film on the training area in Nifelheim?
HIGHLY depends on the situation and on what skills you have and use, cant give a general answer (apart from, obviously use the right element on elementel-shielded enemies). my personal preferences: blades for groups of enemies (chain-casting whiplash is kinda op) and massive stuns (with hyperion grapple). spear for single-target dmg (as far as i have seen, spear has highest dps potential and is quick and has nice combos -> use everything that enhances dmg on sonic afflicted enemies). axe i dont use that much as it feels too slow overall... it gets a lot better after you have all skills unlocked and some gear that helps build permafrost meter. sadly the hold-R2 skill feels a lot worse than it did in the last game, allthough the "throw" it has on smaller enemies can be essential on some fights.
KhrazeGaming i have a question i'm really new to genshin impact and i want to ask something is there any other way to level up my Characters? Because i see some people have almost every Characters in genshin impact with like level 90 and level 70 and i just realise that if i open up a chest it doesn't respawn and chest give adventurer's experience books so i was confused how did they got almost half of the genshin impact Characters to level 90 or level 70 even though the chest in genshin impact can't respawn back?
It's a grind bro, but there's enough materials on those maps to max your characters. It's best to mid max a 4 man team and after that work on a second 4 man team.
It's better to see ur whole gameplay with all ur crazy skill and better fighting style. no one literally fighting like they r doing justice with kratos i have watched 3 big player gameplay and they all have lack of skill thier version kratos is not fully equipped and they even struggle alot in balance level
It's surprising how many people just let Atreus fight on his own. I am constantly using him with square and have built him to compliment my build (building stuns as quickly as possible). But when I watch many of these videos, no one uses Atreus as he should be use, a part of your arsenal.
@@piccolo3031 not sure what your point is, I have finished the game ( I usually don't comment or view comments to avoid spoilers until after), but my point was that I've seen a lot of videos of people playing whether early on in the game or endgame stuff, where Atreus isn't utilize as an extension of kratos.
Okay can you figure out how & what the 4 bars next to the weapon icon where you see the permafrost , immolation, & maelstrom gauge is & how do you fill those bars , I can only get one or two filled but never the whole thing & im not quite sure how to actually fill them. Please someone respond ! It’s been driving me crazy not knowing.

I know man they really downgraded on the barehanded combos.
I feel the same i also mis the haymaker and the r1 while evading with barehands feels weird with out it
its actually a stepback in combat..
@@aNsWeRkEy02 you get a whole new weapon. Combat definitely stepped forward.

@@weatherboy2009 Not the general labors but they work for the ones connected to using the skills.
Yea I know
The dauntless sheild does send projectile back but it is in the direction that youre standing. All you have to do is parry the incoming projectile
The stonewall blocks yellow attacks as long as you are not fully charged so it is different than the dauntless and can be better against some bosses that use a lot of yellow ring attacks
The Valor heal rage option should be all I-frames. Would make it usable
It's usable, you just need to activate as you would a parry. I was using it as an 'oh shit' button and was just losing the health it gave me. I'm pretty sure it slightly interrupts enemies near you if you get it spot on

Try bare hand when weapon damage and stun is low, also learn to aim at feet to stun enemies, making them fall, to then punish

A bit of a necro, but Shatter shield can punch thru unlockable attacks as an alt to parries and dodges
Nice work, thanks great breakdown
Using a runic attack at the wind up of a red ring attack can interrupt it. Its wonderful
It's so satisfying running in, charging up permafrost, immolation or maelstrom, applying status effects, then bodying a boss with skill after skill then rage out to melt their health bar
You didn’t mention how the stone wall shield can block YELLOW ring attacks.
I finished the main story but am still not great at all of these skills. Thanks for the info!
After you parry if you hit r1 right after and do the shield bash it will stop almost every enemy from going the follow up attacks so you don't have to parry more. Helpful on the Berserkers so far the most, for me anyways.
So parry, light attack once then immediately shield bash?
Yeah the parry has a new mechanic.. Has to be when the enemies are closer.. Or after the ring disappears

Love this video liked and subbed
Guardian shield counterattacks give you s. Also rage snaps out of stun and interrupts blue ring/air attacks from bosses
Stonewall is the best shield in this game fs against bosses and berserkers' yellow attacks are blocked and u can still parry fine
Stone wall sheild is best in my opinion it greatly helps to beat gna boss fight because parrying all attacks is extremely difficult
Its Not Hard When You Have Rond Of Deflection On Your Shield
