Once again, apologies for the late upload. I wanna pin this here to let y'all know that the next video won't be God of war related but rather something I wanna make a habit every year; my "best of polar" series where I take the funniest moments throughout the year and compile it all in one video, I hope y'all look forward to it
Stun bars work differently in this game on bosses. If you build it up all the way it’ll deal a big chunk of damage, and it’ll be an R3 when they’re at low health.
I love your God of War videos man 😂 Also please try to show us the side missions, they will make this amazing story more enjoyable for you and us and also give you valuable items to fight the more harder bosses 👀
With the Dauntless shield you gotta save the shield bash for when it's more useful to interrupt enemies. It's basically the shield for being mad aggressive. Parry to brush off their attacks and keep going then shield bash to interrupt one of their big attacks and punish them while stunned. Get used to parrying multiple times in a row before shield bashing real soon. Also you deal more shield bash stun damage with last second parries (red) than regular (yellow). And the sound of getting last second parries is satisfying.
Parrying when enemies have yellow circles as they attack is the way to go. Just like everyone else said prioritising most side quest as they come will be good plus they allow you to level up better.
Bro you can use the rage more in this game. Because the door for realm between realms fill rage and health and you don't need to go anywhere. Just try to open it and then cancel. Also these doors are extremely common in this game compared to the last
Quick turn is a different input for... reasons, but you can find it in settings. Personally never use it so I can't remember. There's also a setting to auto use health/rage stones if you want BUT it can get annoying in bossfights and stuff when you're tryna make distance and Kratos stops to stomp on a crystal. Also you can change it to put away your weapons when you press the same direction on the dpad instead if down, I prefer it but never know until you try
Great video! I'd love to see the side quests personally. I dont think ive seen anyone mention these important differences from the first game: All armor can be upgraded to the max lvl. So it's all about the perks. For example the perk from the sidequests in this realm make the stun meters never decrease, and heals when you preform an R3 (finisher). Check accessibility/game settings. You can: Auto Run Change button 'mash' to 'hold' Auto loot all economy items Map quick turn Lots of great stuff there
You’re gonna be very fucking happy for the reason they removed quick turn. Let’s just say that button has a better use now… but quick turn is block+down d pad 😊
You’re gonna be in for a treat this game has far more diversity when it comes to builds and combo potentials. Armor set ups and everything weapons variations etc etc.
Combat tips for GoWR: Well-timed parries can be used against melee and ranged attacks alike (so long as there isn’t the unblockable red ring indicator)
Quick turn is a different button press, you can change it in settings! further in the game it will make sense why they did this, you'll see recommend the LS down + L3 for quick turn personally
I'll echo what other people have said here: Ragnorak Side Quests are basically Main Game. Rather than save them for later, better to do them as they come up. This game is built around them filing in the story and giving you much needed upgrades. Love your videos, happy to see you take more time on this game.
dont know if someone else said it yet sence im an hour late to the vid, but look through the settings, i didn't realize i can change the settings mostly back to the 2018 layout till like my 3rd playthrough and when i found it i was so happy lol
For your question at 8:12 the reason you climb so slow or move between areas slow is because it’s actually a way for the next part of the missions/map to load, such as you moving between cracks or crouching and moving through tunnels, it’s so it’s a seamless transition and there isn’t no loading screens
In the cut portion before 43:14 when Kratos said “if” to atreus after lifting him up to operate the block, this is an allusion to a historical dialogue between Phillip Father of Alexander the Great and Sparta’s foreign minister. - Phillip : Should I come as friend or foe? - Sparta: Neither - Phillip: if i ever invade Laconia, you will be destroyed never to rise again - Sparta: IF
The difficulty comes from the side quests. If you’re doing story first, you’re not going to have a tough time at all. You gotta explore if you want that real smoke
41:51 this was a nod to the fans that criticized the first game for using the same kind of Boss of trolls over and over again 😅 now he getting disrespected and killed just in one cutscene 😂 10:36 Nope. Only time u'll see here again is at the end of the game 😁 Lots of Bosses variety now 👍
When you are able to unlock the realm, there is this realm called niflheim. You already went there in the first game however you’re gonna go into a different part of the realm. There, you will be able to practice some of the new abilities that you get throughout your play through and I highly recommend going there to practice what you can and can’t do against certain enemies. You can also use that to farm tasks to make yourself stronger. Lol I wouldn’t mind seeing you have a training session. At least coming from me I want you to enjoy every aspect of this game not just the main story and side stories.
Omg I just found you’re Chanel out and omg I’m loving the content the face cam will go so hard to see you’re reaction you should deffo play Naruto ninja storm 4 story mode
A few facts: You asked about the harm in Atreus searching for Týr. You'll find out in the third act. Quick turn is L1 + down in this game. You'll find out why in the second act. Heimdall is a smug, insufferable piece of work. You should kill any ravens you find. Unlike in the previous game, there are rewards for finding them.
@teodorradovic1254 The most information about the story that I've given away is that Heimdall is a jerk. Aside from that, I don't give away in story details. I just told him when to expect a few explanations.
A few combat tips: I suggest unlocking the hyperion grapple in the skill tree for the blades. It's my favourite move for the blades cuz it deals decent damage, closes the gap between enemies, and deals tons of stun. Also, elemental effects play a much bigger effect in this game, so try to build up fire damage and switch to the axe (or deal frost and switch to the blades). You can tell when the effect is applied when the enemies seem to be burning/frozen. OH and the quick turn button is changed in this game it's L1 + Down on DPad, because the down button is going to be used for something later in the game. Swiping down on touch pad is a good option if you want to change it, because it does sometimes mess you up when you miss-time the inputs. Hope you see this comment because the combat in this game is sooo satisfying when you get good at it. Also the side quests in this game are some of the best parts of this game, so definitely don't skip those! Some side quests feel like they could've been a whole ass dlc (talking about the one(s) in Vanaheim)
FUN FACT: in 28:36 if you look at the bridge, there’s a random dwarf there and after that clip (THAT HE SKIPPPED!!!!) we can see that the dwarf spits on us without the player knowing, and the director of this game said somewhere (i don’t remember where exactly) said that specific dwarf who spitted on us on the bridge while we were on the boat, that was ODIN in DISGUISE WHAAAAAAT!!!! 😱😱😱😱
yo imma be real, this got me waking up early to see if u posted and i've seen u before ur wukong playthroughs and u have got twice ur subscriber's, keep it up my man
Derek is considered a dragon in this game & unlike the 2018 dragon quests/bosses (side quests) you’ll get your more traditional dragon boss fights and yea there’s MORE drekis. Out of the few side quests you should do that’s definitely one of them for sure.
Finally i have been waiting ages to watch another god of war episode cant wait for the series to be completed I think it will beat Wukong which in my opinion is the best so far.
This is the hardest game ive beaten on max difficulty and this mf saying it needs to be harder??? Polar built different frfr Edit: You still got quick turn, you just need to do L1+Dpad Down
You can quick turn but you have to press two buttons now, don’t remember the exact buttons, check in controls, Also enable auto pickup full, it will pickup everything and will only pickup heath and rage when it’s not full
Quick turn is in the game. Just check the controls. Some enemies like the Dreki can’t be R3 attacked, instead they just lose a huge chunk of health when the stun bar fills.
Blades mash triangle attack with R2 is really good. It attacks an area with burning enemies, so it quiet effective for some enemies, like that ugly creature which creates "children"
Seems no one explained what happened to Kratos when Thor "knocked him out" previously. Thor did kill Kratos. The thing is, that Mjölnir has the cute ability to _revive_ living beings, as long as there are remainings. If you had the displeasure to watch Thor Love and Thunder, the goats seen there are his own goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, which were killed by Thor many times because he needed food, and revived them soon after by gathering their bones and using Mjölnir's ability.

Don’t apologize to have a life ! 😭😭thank you for the upload !
Hey stone wall shield is the superior shield
Definitely looking forward to it
It’s all good, looking forward to it! Regards from Mexico! 🇲🇽
8:12 play the old games to fix this problem. 12:12. And the execution is underwhelming compared to the old games
Stun bars work differently in this game on bosses. If you build it up all the way it’ll deal a big chunk of damage, and it’ll be an R3 when they’re at low health.
There’s also a Valhalla DLC afterwards, you should play it too
Yes definitely, brings the game’s combat to the forefront while paying homage to the Greek games and OG fans
Bro reached like goal in 3 hours
Found you with the god of war series and i wna congratulate you for blowing up sm and getting good recognition
I love your God of War videos man 😂
Also please try to show us the side missions, they will make this amazing story more enjoyable for you and us and also give you valuable items to fight the more harder bosses 👀
You should prioritize doing side missions as they unlock, rather than waiting with the main story. It’s a lot more organic progression.
With the Dauntless shield you gotta save the shield bash for when it's more useful to interrupt enemies. It's basically the shield for being mad aggressive. Parry to brush off their attacks and keep going then shield bash to interrupt one of their big attacks and punish them while stunned. Get used to parrying multiple times in a row before shield bashing real soon. Also you deal more shield bash stun damage with last second parries (red) than regular (yellow). And the sound of getting last second parries is satisfying.
I agree with others that the side quests really bolster the story and also give you much needed resources. Do them as you’re offered them
Parrying when enemies have yellow circles as they attack is the way to go. Just like everyone else said prioritising most side quest as they come will be good plus they allow you to level up better.
Bro you can use the rage more in this game. Because the door for realm between realms fill rage and health and you don't need to go anywhere. Just try to open it and then cancel. Also these doors are extremely common in this game compared to the last
when i found that out i reupped every time

Dont forget to like the video guys...we gotta show our support somehow

Quick turn is a different button press, you can change it in settings! further in the game it will make sense why they did this, you'll see
recommend the LS down + L3 for quick turn personally
You can even set quick turn to swipe down on the touchpad - which I personally use
L1+Down D-Pad to perform a quick turn
this needs to be pinned LOL, im sitting here to myself thinking LOOK UP THE BUTTON KEYBINDS!!
I'll echo what other people have said here: Ragnorak Side Quests are basically Main Game. Rather than save them for later, better to do them as they come up. This game is built around them filing in the story and giving you much needed upgrades. Love your videos, happy to see you take more time on this game.
Sometimes it feels like Majora’s Mask. I mean side quests being more written than the main story.
dont know if someone else said it yet sence im an hour late to the vid, but look through the settings, i didn't realize i can change the settings mostly back to the 2018 layout till like my 3rd playthrough and when i found it i was so happy lol

But if you want to climb faster, the play the OG games

Quick turn. Hold block + d-pad down
The difficulty comes from the side quests. If you’re doing story first, you’re not going to have a tough time at all. You gotta explore if you want that real smoke
Ngl, youre my favorite youtuber rn!
Love from Australia you honestly remind me of early yourage but your own character too your gonna be real big time soon keep it up
Fun fact about Ræb, he is voiced by Bear McCreary who did the music for both 2018 and Ragnarok
Ræb is literally him, just that his name is backwards.
"KRATOS NOOOOO, THE THUMB POSE IN THE THUMBNAIL IS CURSED, DON'T DO ITTTTT, KRATOSSSSSSS!!!!"
41:51 this was a nod to the fans that criticized the first game for using the same kind of Boss of trolls over and over again 😅 now he getting disrespected and killed just in one cutscene 😂
10:36 Nope. Only time u'll see here again is at the end of the game 😁
Lots of Bosses variety now 👍
This tyr and Boy actually gonna gaslight you if you keep looting while making them wait, like deadass finna gaslight you 😂😂😂
I don’t think anyone is all that upset about you uploading a little late. Live your life man. Great video and I’m excited to see what’s next!

Yes this
Omg I just found you’re Chanel out and omg I’m loving the content the face cam will go so hard to see you’re reaction you should deffo play Naruto ninja storm 4 story mode
Beating all the Valkyries on GoW is absolutely the biggest flex
Doing on God if war or not mercy difficulty level is no easy feat
A few facts:
You asked about the harm in Atreus searching for Týr. You'll find out in the third act.
Quick turn is L1 + down in this game. You'll find out why in the second act.

Delete this, you sre giving away to much about the story
@teodorradovic1254 The most information about the story that I've given away is that Heimdall is a jerk. Aside from that, I don't give away in story details. I just told him when to expect a few explanations.
I recommend you to :
turn off strafe camera assist.
Increase camera sensitivity to max.
Enable auto sprint.
Try spamming hyperion grapple skill.
Wait hol'up how you get auto sprint
@adrianbulose7921 in accessibility setting

🤣🤣Dude said I haven't been the same since god of war 2018 like he didn't just complete the game a week or two ago.
you skipped the part outside Durlin's house and we all know why 😂
We all know he died a bunch of times in that encounter 😂😂
We demand longer episodes! 🔥
i never noticed how underrated your channel is, i always thought it had more than 100k but somehow it has less than 15k
24:14
these are some of my most favorer games. love to see someone enjoying them. love your content my bro.
FUN FACT: in 28:36 if you look at the bridge, there’s a random dwarf there and after that clip (THAT HE SKIPPPED!!!!) we can see that the dwarf spits on us without the player knowing, and the director of this game said somewhere (i don’t remember where exactly) said that specific dwarf who spitted on us on the bridge while we were on the boat, that was ODIN in DISGUISE WHAAAAAAT!!!! 😱😱😱😱
Bitch stop spoiling
bro you got my respect for playing gow 2018 and Gow ragnarök on give me god of war fr man i really enjoy these videos
You can change the button setting from mashing buttons to holding buttons
THE GOATS BACK AT IT FRFR (I'VE BEEN LOVING YOUR CONTENT EVER AFTER YOU'VE DONE BLACK MYTH WUKONG!!!!)
your videos are a piece of art bro i love them.
yo imma be real, this got me waking up early to see if u posted and i've seen u before ur wukong playthroughs and u have got twice ur subscriber's, keep it up my man
Love your vids dawg please don’t stop uploading I need something to watch when eating 🙏🙏🙏
Derek is considered a dragon in this game & unlike the 2018 dragon quests/bosses (side quests) you’ll get your more traditional dragon boss fights and yea there’s MORE drekis. Out of the few side quests you should do that’s definitely one of them for sure.

This is the hardest game ive beaten on max difficulty and this mf saying it needs to be harder??? Polar built different frfr
Edit: You still got quick turn, you just need to do L1+Dpad Down
Eh. Personally. I think 2018 was harder. But i haven't finished ragnarök yet.
the twin beserker fight enters the chat edit i mean the 3 v 1 beserkers fight
Ng+ adds a good amount of difficulty especially on the hardest difficulty. Every enemy one taps you there
@@Malyk0214jea oh hell nah☠️ i'm in for a ride with that one😭
@@Ksej72ragnarok is infinitely harder, it’s almost annoyingly harder, from the fights to the quests and MOSTLY the damn annoying puzzles
GmGoW was definitely more difficult on 2018 than Ragnarok.
When you find a side quest do them asap
Ill start liking these videos when you show those side activities and quests 😤 in all honesty theyre where the biggest challenges are not the story
The climbing so that u don't get loading screens no more.
Game loading while u climb
You can quick turn but you have to press two buttons now, don’t remember the exact buttons, check in controls,
Also enable auto pickup full, it will pickup everything and will only pickup heath and rage when it’s not full
2:32 that blue thing is the rock that brok gave kratos for using the fast travel gates
Yo bro that's insane as f, can't wait to see the next...
Quick turn is in the game. Just check the controls. Some enemies like the Dreki can’t be R3 attacked, instead they just lose a huge chunk of health when the stun bar fills.
OH MA GAWD ANOTHER VIDEO ANOTHER DAY MADE LOVE YOU POOKIE POLAR
Blades mash triangle attack with R2 is really good. It attacks an area with burning enemies, so it quiet effective for some enemies, like that ugly creature which creates "children"
Press L1 and then the quick turn button to quick turn
Love the vids legend , btw after this play the dlc
If you need harder, do new game + it removes stagger from enemies sometimes, and enemies attack faster with some new attacks
nExT sAtUrDaY he said
I already know this finna be a banger
Yess new video! And right after I finished the game 😁
Agreed. Give Me No Mercy feels like Give Me Balance. In GOW 2018, Give Me No Mercy was a hundred times harder than Give Me Balance
Bro, you're going to like the DLC Valhalla. You need to finish the whole game first.
Bro’s is becoming my fav RUclipsr
L grammar😭
the blue rock kratos gets with the chisel is the rock that activates the mystic gateway.
Don't be cocky lol, this game is generally known to be easier than the first game, BUT it will get worse
Not really.
Oh yeah my tv show !!! Finally thank you
1 minute in. already a banger.
Yo polar you got to fight the berserkers once your done with the main story😂
I feel like im going through this wit you cuz i just downloaded it a couple days ago and youre the only person that still hasnt played it
Yup the polar video being at the weirdest times but still making the entire community laugh 😂
also quickturn has been remapped to shield ing and then pressing down on the d pad
The mash and frozen attacks are key in this game, they are really strong attacks
I have a question
is the video's cover pictures your drawing?
cuz it's clean asf
finnaly a new episode
You have to hold down block to quick turn, take a look at the controls before you play more.
Seems no one explained what happened to Kratos when Thor "knocked him out" previously.
Thor did kill Kratos. The thing is, that Mjölnir has the cute ability to _revive_ living beings, as long as there are remainings.
If you had the displeasure to watch Thor Love and Thunder, the goats seen there are his own goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, which were killed by Thor many times because he needed food, and revived them soon after by gathering their bones and using Mjölnir's ability.
Polar Ex. You're making me miss my bedtime to watch this masterpiece.
"It will be in the next 4 days" head ahh
Fax I beat both games on the hardest difficulty fits only no ally no stone and all side bosses and main story
*brags about Valkyrie*
*Bezerkers enter the chat*
☠️
you didn't find the draugr hole bro?
If Thor heard that what you said your cooked Polar.
no way this mf said ragnarok needs a harder difficulty when i struggle on give me no mercy 😭
Lol u got to explore n do side quest it is easy other the the berserkee king n gna queen Valkyrie
The climbing speeds are like that because the game is loading new areas while you do it.
this intro style gotta be patented by EX (especially me, the shadow member)
Waited so I could watch on my bday 🤧🤧
Easily highlight of the week every week on yt🤝
There’s a way to quick turn in the settings
Hit the like goal within 4 hours... Crazy stuff. Make the like goal higher next time lmao
Well i WAS gonna sleep til you had to go make my night
Swip down on the touch pad to quick turn
39:45 you just killed Drake 😮
