same position here- just bought god of war 4 tonight on pc - doing my research to truly enjoy the game- this is definitely probably the best info guide out there til this day
As an elderly statesman (by age and looks) thank-you for the most comprehensive and complete guide for God of War. The game is the best open world RPG since RDR2, in my opinion. You deserve all the plaudits previous commenters have stated.
Thank you so much for your encouraging and supportive feedback. My aim is to create guides which are easy to understand for gamers of all ages so your confirmation is especially appreciated! 🙏 Good luck and enjoy the amazing game :) 🍻
This guide is insane! Thank you very much for all your effort in putting it together. I have just started playing GOW and can tell you that after watching this guide it feels intimidatingly deep. I hope I can cope with everything.
You're most welcome! Appreciate the feedback. 🙏 Dont worry you'll be perfectly fine enjoying the game, whether you go deep into the rabbit hole or not :) 🍻
Thank you for your words. You were right. I am still not over with the game and have enjoyed it so much! A quick question: What does SKT mean on the headings of your charts? 2nd position after level, like in this one here 26:07. Thank you!
Just 15 mins into reading this guide and I realise how intricate this game is. This guide is extremely helpful and informative. Suffice to say invaluable. Cheers.
Played through the game once when it came out just for the story. Replaying it again now in 4k and came across this guide. I had no idea I was missing out on so much. Thanks for helping me make sense of how Kratos' stats work, especially the runic stat. New sub right here :D
In 4K it will be even more epic, if thats possible lol. You are very welcome and thank you kindly for your subscription my friend, great to have you on board 🙏 Thanks for watching and Enjoy all the 4K epicness!! 👊
Been messing around with this game on and off for awhile, and had more than one question haha. Your guide😮 is masterfully done and I sincerely appreciate you making this video
This was effectively thorough, very much appreciated. This video was way to hard to find by the way, it should be at the TOP of the search, I hope you get there.
Thank you kindly Ricardo, your positive feedback is greatly appreciated, good to know my guides are being received so well! I hope it helps you get the most from the great game :)
Im 1 trophy away from platinum and that’s to defeat the Valkyrie Queen. After all these years I’ve gone back to my saved data and gonna attempt this again 😂 Loved your video!!
Lol thank you so much! So glad to hear you liked the style of the video 🙏 Its not everyones cup of tea but always grateful to hear when its well recieved! Good luck and enjoy the game my friend 🍻
Finaly someone who understands the the Game mechanics and Not just say "Valkyrie Armor is best" I played the Story 3 times and in every playthrough i have set my "goals" in other abilitys......1 runic, 2 luck, 3 Cooldown and i can say that every ability is very usefull when you understand the mechanics My favorite buildup is a Balance between runic and Cooldown, when you have a Good Number in both you can Spam runic attacks over and over and over 😏😏 then Place 2 things in sockets that give you 25% more frost damage (total 50%) same with Fire damage ....... Fill the other sockets with things that fit your playstyle and you have an Real GOD OF WAR
Very sound tactics Michael, maximising your Runic, Cooldown, Frost and Burn is a surefire way to make mincemeat out of even the toughest enemies (with a bit of skill of course). Playing through the game 3 times you will no doubt understand the mechanics involved to create a superior build. Prioritising Luck is often overlooked and underappreciated, but i can see you picked up on that too, with the correct abilities proccing often to suit your play style, its a complete game changer. Hope you enjoy New Game+ just 5 days away now ;)
GamerGrade luck is definitly a Gamechanger but it doesnt fit my style, i like to come in a Battle with maximum output of damage in Short time..... Im Farming hacksilver, XP and loot on my Platinum Account since yesterday just for the NG+, because in a few Games the money, xp and loot get transfered in the NG+.......do you know what exactly gets transfered in NG+???
Good question Michael, i was asking myself the same thing about preparing for NG+, unfortunately all i know is there is a brand new resource to farm, new armor sets to acquire with a tier superior to Epic, and harder enemies with new move sets. Other than that im in the dark. Your plan to farm HS and XP is sound, maybe also stocking up on the legendary/epic resources from Muspelheim and Niflheim will also be a good idea, as all top tier armor sets requires resources from both of those realms to fully upgrade.
You deserve way more subs and views!! Hands down this is the most comprehensive guide ive ever seen on RUclips, Initially the length of this video put me off, but it is well worth the investment in time, thank you so much for putting all this together which must have taken a very long time, you've earned yourself a new subscriber :)
This is by far the most comprehensive guide on god of war I've seen on the Internet. Recently rewatched it to refresh myself so I can prepare for ragnarok next year. Now I know this video probably took an immense amount of effort but I was wondering do you have any guides on the new game plus items, the new perfect tier of gear. If so where abouts would I find them and if not would you consider making some?
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! Really appreciate your continued support Steve :) 🙏 I was planning to cover NG+ but i sold my PS4 a long while back planning to grab a PS5 on release with GoW, but due to the shortages/delays i never got round to it. Im planning to cover Ragnarok now as its just around the corner, but i appreciate you getting in touch to find out! 🍻
Thank you for the positive feedback! Much appreciated 🙏 Ive noticed most the guides on YT lack depth and detail, so started making them myself :) Thanks for watching, good luck and happy holidays brother 🍻
Thanks so much for the positive feedback Andi, really appreciate the support! So glad to hear my guides have been helpful for you 🙏 Good luck and enjoy the game my friend 🍻
I'm as old as Kratos looks, so, not so good at playing, and you made this not olny possible, but enjoyable for me. Thanks a lot man, instant subscribe!
You're most welcome! So glad to hear my guide was helpful for you :) 🙏 You Sub and support is massively appreciated, great to have you onboard! Good luck and enjoy the game :) 🍻
This was soooooooo helpful! Breaking down what everything means and how to interpret some of these things was super helpful. There's just so much in this game and a lot of the games explanation of it is pretty shitty. You answered many questions I didn't even know I had 😆. You got a new sub here mate! 👍👍
Thank you for the positive feedback! So glad to hear the guide was helpful for you :) 🙏 Your Sub and support is massively appreciated, great to have you aboard 👊 THanks for watching, good luck and enjoy the game :) 🍻
Cheers, just got this on PC, though I played all the older GoW games way back in the day this one feels very different and I was a bit confused with some of the mechanics!
Great guide! I was hoping for a good recommended end game progression though, like... Craft and upgrade X to do Y event to get N gear to do Z event etc. Edit: Preferably with good builds/skills/etc.
Excellent guide! You provided a lot of information while remaining spoiler lite. I just started playing this a few days ago and really appreciate the tips.
Man I've been making sure to read everything you find in game. I had no idea what the permafrost or with was really. I knew it was some kind of points system and that's was all.
Yep you are 100% correct L Shadow177, thanks for clarifying, those red NG+ sets are insane! I was going to do a video on NG+ gear but never got round to it, as this video was published before the NG+ patch :(
36:00 I had heard of the Glowing Gem of the Nine before, but I was never sure how to get it. That has to be one of the most difficult items in the game to find, and not just due to the timing required. How powerful and skilled would a player have to be to be able to get 2 Crests of Surtur at such a time in the game? Wouldn't just about anyone be severely under-geared and under-leveled? And incidentally, thank you for helping me get some of the rust off! I just recently picked up a PC copy of GoW, after having beaten it on PS4 a few years ago. It's been a bit, and the refresher course, as it were, is MOST helpful! As a second edit; with regards to the Glowing Gem of the Nine, if you gain access to it by going to Musphellhim early enough, does it STAY in Brok's Musphellheim shop inventory AFTER you reawaken Mimir? Because as mentioned above, I cannot imagine many players would be able to get two Crests of Surtur without being properly geared.
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear the guide has helped you get back into the PC version, which is by far the best version :) 💯 In answer to your question, yes the Enchantment will remain available for purchase once unlocked, so feel free to continue the story and level up your gear, before attempting acquiring the resources. 👍
@@GamerGrade And thank YOU for being so kind as to reply so quickly to my questions, as well as responding to everyone else! That's a RARE RUclips creator who does that...
I am in NG+ and I was looking at my stats, and I am a lil bit confused. So share some sage wisdom with me. 1) I am in NG+ and gear/numbers can get really high like 390 strength or 380 runic power or 300 luck and so on. What are the stats cap in NG+ ? 2) do stats become useless if they fill the bar? Example: is luck stuck at 150 or could you increase it to 300 if you have the gear, Cod armor set for example has lots of luck. 3) do perks, that give X stat, still benefit you if you reached the stat cap. My strength is around 390 and my runic is 380, so if I get a perk activation that gives strength and runic, does it still boost my strength and my runic? Example: the blade pommel that gives strength + runic up to 3 times. Do I still benefit from that?
These are good questions, unfortunately i never got round to playing NG+ as it was not available on initial release, but hopefully someone else who has can chime in?
Thank you for watching, hope you found this guide useful! God of War is really something special, no doubt GOTY 2018 Contender, just waiting on Red Dead 2!

Thanks a lot Reefer, hope the guides help you get the most from the awesome game! There's so much to learn the guides had to be longer than usual, Enjoy :)
Thats awesome news good job brother! Thats no easy task Really happy that my guide contributed to your platinum, its the reason why i make these videos 🙏 Thanks for commenting, coming back and sharing, i really appreciate it! 👊
@@GamerGrade I'm just at the middle I think where the bridge had been re-aligned by the serpent and new areas unlocked. Next mission is the magic chisel but I need to do the side quest and upgrade myself, I'm only level 4 now. I was wondering what armor set should I go for, some suggested tyrs armor other suggested traveler's. Which do you suggest? I also have musphelheim unlocked do you suggest I tackle that and go for the blazing magma armor? Also is it possible to unlock niflheim at this point? Since I love using runic I love the stats of deadly mist armor. Thank you again for the awesome video!
No problem :) The Traveler set is good if you want better defense, otherwise opt for the Tyr set, which is better for damage and also has 2 extra sockets. Personally i tackled Niflheim first over Muspelheim as just like yourself, i preferred the Cursed Mist set over the Muspelheim sets as it massively boosts Runic and has a HP regen (albeit very slow). You should be able to unlock the realms now. If you can boost your luck over 100 then the Magma set is also very good as its perk will activate most of the time making it very powerful. Hope this helps you out, thanks again for watching, and enjoy the great game my friend :)
Its been a few years but from what i remember the challenges should already be available by default once you get to Muspelheim,, the shop itself just offers items for purchase.
@@GamerGrade thanks. Will try Niflheim once the journey dumps me back into Midgard. Niflheim’s gear looks better. Tyr’s armor is getting old and I cannot find any better alternatives until I do Niflheim, Muspelheim, finish the main quest (what is the point?) or the beat the Valkeries (too hard now).
You are more than welcome M E, thank you! 🙏 To help make information easier to find ive included timestamps in the description. You can also check out the written version of this guide here: gamergrade.co.uk/complete-guide-to-god-of-war-2018-beginners-to-advanced 👍
Oh shit. I just started the game last week and at the moment I'm exactly in that platform were you show the effect of permafrost. I have the skill, but wasn't sure how to make it work since this game isn't as combo based as the og trilogy
Yes you dont need to use it but once you know how it works and start properly implementing it into your combat strategies, its a game changer! Good luck and enjoy the game 👊
@@GamerGrade thanks, man. I am certainly going to have to familiarize with this weapon and skills. Playing 'Give me God of War'. Super hard, but satisfying 👍🏻
Unfortunately the update that gave the option for NG+ was released a few weeks after this video was published. I really wanted to come back and cover NG+ but sadly never found the time 😫
Just started my first play through yesterday on my ps5 and this is great! Thanks man for your effort. This game is great. All I can think is why did I take so long to play it lol. Although I never had a ps4 so there’s that. Looking forward to your Witcher 4 detailed videos in the future! 🤘🏻
Man! you're unreal!
This guide should be printed and published!

Finaly someone who understands the the Game mechanics and Not just say "Valkyrie Armor is best"
I played the Story 3 times and in every playthrough i have set my "goals" in other abilitys......1 runic, 2 luck, 3 Cooldown and i can say that every ability is very usefull when you understand the mechanics
My favorite buildup is a Balance between runic and Cooldown, when you have a Good Number in both you can Spam runic attacks over and over and over 😏😏 then Place 2 things in sockets that give you 25% more frost damage (total 50%) same with Fire damage .......
Fill the other sockets with things that fit your playstyle and you have an Real GOD OF WAR
Very sound tactics Michael, maximising your Runic, Cooldown, Frost and Burn is a surefire way to make mincemeat out of even the toughest enemies (with a bit of skill of course).
Playing through the game 3 times you will no doubt understand the mechanics involved to create a superior build. Prioritising Luck is often overlooked and underappreciated, but i can see you picked up on that too, with the correct abilities proccing often to suit your play style, its a complete game changer.
Hope you enjoy New Game+ just 5 days away now ;)

Good question Michael, i was asking myself the same thing about preparing for NG+, unfortunately all i know is there is a brand new resource to farm, new armor sets to acquire with a tier superior to Epic, and harder enemies with new move sets.

2) do stats become useless if they fill the bar? Example: is luck stuck at 150 or could you increase it to 300 if you have the gear, Cod armor set for example has lots of luck.
3) do perks, that give X stat, still benefit you if you reached the stat cap. My strength is around 390 and my runic is 380, so if I get a perk activation that gives strength and runic, does it still boost my strength and my runic?
Example: the blade pommel that gives strength + runic up to 3 times. Do I still benefit from that?
These are good questions, unfortunately i never got round to playing NG+ as it was not available on initial release, but hopefully someone else who has can chime in?
@@GamerGrade I really want to know if there are stats caps, because IF they are, then I don't want to waste my stats points.
OMG thank you so much for 31:22 I have no idea about that and I'm right there now 🔥🔥🔥👍👍

rookie question, how do I lift rocks?
Exactly the video I looked for before starting my playthrough last week.. Great work bro!😛 Just found you channel from the Niflheim guide :((
Thanks a lot Reefer, hope the guides help you get the most from the awesome game! There's so much to learn the guides had to be longer than usual, Enjoy :)

@@GamerGrade Thanks for making such a detailed and professional guide! Just earned my platinum thanks to your help (and other guides ofc)
Thats awesome news good job brother! Thats no easy task
Really happy that my guide contributed to your platinum, its the reason why i make these videos 🙏
Thanks for commenting, coming back and sharing, i really appreciate it! 👊
You just gained a subscriber, what an amazing guide!
Thank you kindly Z Chowdhury, great to have you onboard! How far are you into the game?
@@GamerGrade I'm just at the middle I think where the bridge had been re-aligned by the serpent and new areas unlocked. Next mission is the magic chisel but I need to do the side quest and upgrade myself, I'm only level 4 now. I was wondering what armor set should I go for, some suggested tyrs armor other suggested traveler's. Which do you suggest? I also have musphelheim unlocked do you suggest I tackle that and go for the blazing magma armor? Also is it possible to unlock niflheim at this point? Since I love using runic I love the stats of deadly mist armor. Thank you again for the awesome video!
No problem :) The Traveler set is good if you want better defense, otherwise opt for the Tyr set, which is better for damage and also has 2 extra sockets. Personally i tackled Niflheim first over Muspelheim as just like yourself, i preferred the Cursed Mist set over the Muspelheim sets as it massively boosts Runic and has a HP regen (albeit very slow). You should be able to unlock the realms now. If you can boost your luck over 100 then the Magma set is also very good as its perk will activate most of the time making it very powerful.
Hope this helps you out, thanks again for watching, and enjoy the great game my friend :)
@@GamerGrade thank you so much for the help!!
Very welcome :)
Finally got around to getting this game.good guide..subbed
Thank you! Hope the guide helps you get the most from the awesome game :) Massive thanks for the sub, great o have you onboard!
Thanks for watching!
I went to Muspelheim and found a shop with no challenges. Is it level or main story gated?
Its been a few years but from what i remember the challenges should already be available by default once you get to Muspelheim,, the shop itself just offers items for purchase.
@@GamerGrade thanks. Will try Niflheim once the journey dumps me back into Midgard. Niflheim’s gear looks better. Tyr’s armor is getting old and I cannot find any better alternatives until I do Niflheim, Muspelheim, finish the main quest (what is the point?) or the beat the Valkeries (too hard now).
Good idea, id recommend unlocking the Niflheim set, then move onto the Valkyries and complete the story.
Great video, very in depth! Thanks alot :)
I wish all this information was written down somewhere
You are more than welcome M E, thank you! 🙏
To help make information easier to find ive included timestamps in the description.

No problem hope it comes in useful for you! Only 3 days until NG+ :)

Oh shit. I just started the game last week and at the moment I'm exactly in that platform were you show the effect of permafrost. I have the skill, but wasn't sure how to make it work since this game isn't as combo based as the og trilogy
Yes you dont need to use it but once you know how it works and start properly implementing it into your combat strategies, its a game changer!
Good luck and enjoy the game 👊
@@GamerGrade thanks, man. I am certainly going to have to familiarize with this weapon and skills. Playing 'Give me God of War'. Super hard, but satisfying 👍🏻
@@serenitynow85 Indeed GmGoW difficulty is the ultimate challenge, and ultimately the most rewarding. With time and practice, you'll nail it :)
Merry Christmas bro!!!
Merry Christmas to you too brother, hope you and family have a smashing one! Enjoy :)
How does the up arrow work by the stats display, dunno if i missed it
Just subscribed and as a result, leveled up!!!
Thank you kindly versa vica, great to have you onboard! Glad the video helped you out :)
Thanks for watching!
You need a mic or better acoustics in your recording room
Yes i did, this was one of my early videos so have learned a lot since then! Thanks for the feedback :) 👍
Here from steam release
PC version is EPIC! 💯
What about all the new game+ armor?
Unfortunately the update that gave the option for NG+ was released a few weeks after this video was published. I really wanted to come back and cover NG+ but sadly never found the time 😫
Good info. Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching, good luck and enjoy the game :)
Some of these game i need to go on a course 🤣
The complexity of some modern game is mind boggling! 💯
Great Guide
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Much respect 🤘
Respect to your too Mike! Thanks for watching brother 🍻
I am new to god of war and playing on PC. I am a bit confused on what weapon i should main. What is overal better? Axe or swords?
Swords? There's only the Leviathan Axe and mid-story, you get the Blades of Chaos on chains. The Axe is definitely the best 👍
@@GamerGrade so ignore the swords and just play with the warior axe?
Personally i play mostly with the axe, and dabble with the blades.
Thank you :)
You're welcome brother, good luck and enjoy :) 🍻
Holy shit this was a great guide! Thx you good sir
You are most welcome Billy! Glad to hear the guide was helpful for you 👍
Hope you're enjoying the game :)
Just started my first play through yesterday on my ps5 and this is great! Thanks man for your effort. This game is great. All I can think is why did I take so long to play it lol. Although I never had a ps4 so there’s that. Looking forward to your Witcher 4 detailed videos in the future! 🤘🏻
You're most welcome! So glad to hear the guide was helpful for you :) 🙏
Yes it was exclusive to PS4 for a couple of years. 👍
Opens by saying light spoilers, then talks about the blades of chaos lol
Lol thanks for the feedback 👍
Good video!!bro
Thank you Darrel! :)
