God of War is a third person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. God of War won Game of the Year 2018.

I'm playing ghost of Sparta on my PS3 and it's frozen multiple times during the cutscene where Kratos falls into the whirlpool while on his way back to Atlantis. Does anyone that's played the game and experienced a similar issue know how to fix it?

It's the digital version btw so not a disc issue

Holy shit what a treat, I loved THIS GAME.

I loved the last game but this one just skyrocketed me to new levels of excitement

There’s gonna be a 3rd game right??

The sequel to God of War Ragnarok should start with a opening shot of Freya brushing Speki & Svanna, getting all the knots out of their fur, the shot pans out and you see Kratos brushing Fenrir trying to get a spot on his back.

God of War III Remastered

In the fourth GoW every attack had an attack ring, but in Ragnarok I can't find any settings to do that. It just feels silly that there's puzzle assist, aim assist, and you can even disable mini games, but you can't have attack rings on every attack. I can't read the enemy attacks at all, especially when there's more than 2 attacks going on at the same time

So as I'm playing Ghost of Sparta (and actually paying attention to the story this time), I realized that Deaths Gate is located inside the Vortex of Atlantis. However, I also recalled in Chains of Olympus of there being a Hades Gate as well, in Asphodel.

So now I'm curious to know what's the difference between the two domains (as Gaia stated, it rests between the land of the living, and the land of the dead). This entire time, I was under the impression that Death was an extension of the Underworld, which is ruled by Hades. Kind of like Hades being the King, and Death being his general. But if that's the case, where does Thantos fit in, and why have their own domain?

Any insight would be lovely!

THIS IS AN XP FARM BUT YOU CAN SELL XP FOR HACKSILVER IN NEW GAME+

Extremely sorry because this is very long. I’m obviously really late to this but here we go. I thought I’d play 2018 new game plus before starting ragnarok new game plus and it’s really hard to have enough hacksilver when every upgrade costs like 100k. I’ve seen a few posts and videos of farms for this and skap slag. And I pretty much merged some of them to get the most of it. Funnily enough, when I started writing this post I thought it was a 30k+ farm but when I took a break to start farming a bit, it turned out to be more.

I think this post will be most useful to someone starting a new 'New Game Plus' save or really early into the game because they’ll still have the labours I’m about to mention but if you also haven’t completed them then go ahead and read the thing.

First some info so it’s clear:

I’m at the point where >!we bring the helheim bridge keeper’s heart for Atreus and need to return to Tyr’s vault!<. Assume I’ve consistently explored as much as I can. I believe this is the best time to start farming as you would’ve unlocked the areas needed for this. As soon as I got in the boat with Atreus (>!when kratos reveals he’s a god!<) in the witch’s cave I started setting up for the farms. I will talk about the skap slag farm towards the end so scroll down if that’s what you want. I can clear any doubts in comments.

PREREQUISITES:

Labours that you need to save for hacksilver farm:

TIPS: Prioritize the labours as you wish! Keep saving manually whenever you see fit so that in case you make a mistake, you can go back to a point that you like.

Try to progress through one labour at a time when setting up.

REMEMBER, IF YOU MESSED UP YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS SAVE. THEREFORE SAVE SMARTLY SO THAT IT IS CONVENIENT TO GO BACK TO THAT SAVE.

1.Summoner: runic summons activated 59 out of 60 times.

2.Talisman Tinkerer: talismans activated 59 out of 60 times.

Just refrain from using runic summons and talismans as much as you can. I would say slowly use till 50 or 55 times (or as less times as you want) throughout the story for both labours and then stop so you have room for error. I used about that much up to the point it was time to start setting up for farms. If you accidentally activated them, wherever you are, just restart checkpoint or load a previous autosave.

3.Wages of War: 998 out of 1000 enemies killed.

I WOULD DO THIS LAST AS THERE IS MORE ROOM FOR ERROR. You can do this easily if you have muspelheim unlocked. Simply go to the first sword, start practice and kill as many draugr as you need to get to 998.

4.Wail of the Wulver: 18 out of 20 wulvers killed.

You need to have finished exploring iron cove and thamur’s corpse (DO NOT GET CLOSE TO THE HIDDEN CHAMBER AT THE ENTRANCE TO THAMUR’s CORPSE. YOU NEED IT FOR SKAP SLAG FARM. RESTART CHECKPOINT IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY GOT CLOSE AND ‘FOUND A HIDDEN CHAMBER’. I’LL SAY MORE ABOUT THIS LATER WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT SKAP SLAG FARM. I SUGGEST YOU READ THAT IF THIS CONCERNS YOU). Now if you’ve already explored iron cove, you will find 2 wulvers if you go back there. Don’t do anything yet. Next, if you’ve already explored thamur’s corpse, you will find an ancient and some other foe at the entrance right after you dock the boat. Once you kill the ancient 2 wulvers will spawn. If you’ve already killed thesN e enemies near thamur’s corpse (I’m not talking about iron cove right now), you’ll find some reavers and 2 wulvers (will spawn after killing the reavers) if you go back. Again don’t do anything yet. Now if you’re at the same place in the story as me you will already have killed some wulvers. To get the rest of them until 18 out of 20 wulvers, kill the wulvers I mentioned. If you have and odd number, let’s say 17 out of 20, simply kill one wulver and then board the boat (you can do it mid fight) and you’ll have 18.

IMPORTANT: HOW TO RESPAWN THE WULVERS IN IRON COVE.

You need the wulvers in iron cove for this farm. You still have to do the farm or you might need some more wulvers to get to 18. The wulvers won’t simply respawn after you kill them. You can’t restart checkpoint because it won’t count the labours. you have to do some stuff to respawn them. I’ve seen people mention that changing realms a few times and coming back respawns them but I haven’t tried it. I think you have to leave the realm travel room and go out into the realm and come back. You can try experimenting with it if you want. The thing that I know that works is finishing one muspelheim trial(any trial) then returning to Midgard. Be careful don’t kill 1000 enemies accidentally.

SAVE BEFORE TRAVELLING TO MUSPELHEIM SO THAT IF THE WULVERS DON'T RESPAWN, YOU CAN GO BACK AND TRY SOMETHING ELSE. I don't know exactly what factors affect the respawning but if it didn't work after a few tries, DO NOT GIVE UP! Keep experimenting because it only needs to work once. It actually took me an hour to respawn them.

IMPORTANT: TRY DIFFERENT MYSTIC GATEWAYS!! When I went back to midgard I always fast travelled from Brok's shop to Niflheim tower. Then I took the boat to Iron Cove. I did that every time I retried respawning the wulvers. They didn't spawn even though I finished a muspelheim trial. Since they weren't spawning, I went to Thamur's corpse (just in case these wulvers respawned) because I needed 2 wulvers to get to 18. And they did respawn. So after killing them I fast travelled to the mystic gateway in "Isle of Death". I got on the boat to go to iron cove. They magically respawned!

FINALLY!!! NOW THAT YOU ARE SET UP, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE FARMING.

HACKSILVER FARM: MY CLIP

Step0: My build is in the clip. Try to get as much luck as possible while having high runic. More luck = more

hacksilver. EQUIP Wrath of the Frost Ancient runic attack, Talisman of Unbound. Potential, Wrath of the

Wolf runic summon.

Step1: Go to Iron Cove and dock. Once you get off the boat save manually.

Step2: Now use Wrath of the Frost Ancient runic attack to kill the closest wulver. Then use runic summon and

talisman. Now use runic attack again to kill the other wulver. This should take 15-20 seconds.

Step3: You'll notice the xp from labours and some xp from killing the wulvers. In my clip I got 11k+ xp for 2

labours and then 22k+ xp in the end.

Step4: Collect the hacksilver dropped by the wulvers. They will occasionally drop serpent scales. You will get

8k - 9k hacksilver depending on your luck. You could get up to 10k if you are lucky.

Step5: Now restart last checkpoint. After it's done loading, you will notice that you kept the xp and hacksilver

but the labours are back to 'prerequisite status'.

Step6: Repeat killing wulvers, collecting hacksilver and restarting last checkpoint. The entire process should take

about 30 secs so you are getting twice this amount every minute.

Step7: (WARNINGS)

DO NOT GET ON THE BOAT. IT WILL TRIGGER A CHECKPOINT. IF YOU DID IT ACCIDENTALLY, LOAD A

PREVIOUS AUTO SAVE. ALSO DO NOT GET ON THE BOAT EVEN AFTER YOU ARE DONE FARMING.

INSTEAD RESTART LAST CHECKPOINT SO THAT THE WULVERS ARE THERE. THEN WITHOUT KILLING

THEM, GET ON THE BOAT. THIS WAY YOU CAN KEEP THE WULVERS WITHOUT ANY HEADACHES LATER

ON. ALTHOUGH I SUGGEST YOU FARM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN NOW BECAUSE I DOUBT YOU CAN

KEEP THE PREREQUISITES AFTER THIS.

IF YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND ARE DONE WITH FARMING, YOU CAN STILL GET 8-9K HACKSILVER

FROM JUST KILLING THE WULVERS LATER.

PREREQUISITES:

Labours that you need to save for skap slag farm:

Hidden Chambers: Hidden chambers found 6 out of 7

Hidden chambers opened 6 out of 7

NOW THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO NEAR THE HIDDEN CHAMBER NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THAMUR'S CORPSE. ITS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MYSTIC GATEWAY SO ITS EASIER THAN OTHER CHAMBERS TO FARM. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET 18 SKAP SLAG IS IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND AND OPENED ALL THE HIDDEN CHAMBERS. YOU GET 9 FOR FINDING AND 9 FOR OPENING THE LAST CHAMBER. IF YOU FOUND ALL BUT DIDN'T OPEN ONE CHAMBER, YOU CAN STILL GET 9 SKAP SLAG EVERY TIME. YOU CAN DO IT WITH OTHER CHAMBERS IF THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION BUT THE ONE NEAR THAMUR'S CORPSE IS THE EASIEST ONE FOR ALL OF THIS.

SKAP SLAG FARM:

TIPS: If you just finished hacksilver farming and going to start skap slag farming, save your talisman and runic

summon labours for 7k xp while you farm for skap slag.

Also go to settings and accessibility. change the chisel door setting from "precision" to the other option.

You do not need to defeat the valkyries in any chamber.

Step1: Fast travel to the mystic gateway near Thamur's corpse.

Step2: (If you can't follow the first tip, ignore this step)

Once you have spawned near Thamur's corpse, use both your talisman and runic summon.

Step3: Run towards the chamber. Once you are close enough, you will be awarded 9 skap slag.

Step4: Now open the chamber (it is faster with the second tip). You will be awarded 9 skap slag once you are

inside.

Step5: Restart last checkpoint. You will spawn near the dock right next to the mystic gateway.

Step6: Repeat process.

Hey guys so i connected to internet on my PS4 because sometimes i dont need internet there and saw a update notification on GOW ragnarok. It popper up more times but it never fully downloaded, but now when i checked it and its a 22 GB update. For clearance its on PS4pro, but it is weird that its that big update. And i have ragnarok since christmas of 22. And valhalla is installed so what is this update

Day 7 winner - Athena (most voted )

just finished God of War (2018), I've played some of the previous games (I, II, and Chains of Olympus) but was way too young to understand english properly (actually reprimanded by my dad once when he caught me pressing buttons while Kratos has his way with some ladies) so I filled the story by watching some recap before jumping in the 2018 game.

and it's fucking fantastic.

the stories told are interesting, the arguments between a father and his son, how Kratos actually has development into a better father in the end, even some of the banter actually made me lol, the humor in this is great combined with Kratos' deadpan responses.

almost cried when seeing them finally spread the ashes

I was always a sucker for action/adventure games since Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on the PS2, and after plenty others, this one definitely just raised the bar for me in the genre.

I was also in a rut before, I was finding no joy in playing games for a long time, I haven't finished games in years, simply abandoning them midway when I got bored.

God of War (2018) is the game that pulled me back in.

time to start saving and buy Ragnarok.

edit: well damn, I guess I get off this subreddit and go somewhere else until I finished Ragnarok then lol. Thanks guys, ciao for awhile.

Kratos was meant to Die but because he himself changed in a way no one expected he got thor to just let it go.

But thor was always to me represented as superior. He killed kratos and awoke him back.....with atreus he was shown to be a beast.....

I never got the feeling they are Equal.

Finished ragnarok for the first time

Always a god of war Fan but used to be poor XD now i have some weeks without any work and bought a ps5

I played god of war 3, 2018 and now ragnarok. Im i guess halfway through valhalla. But now i cant shake of the thought of playing all games in order.

Ascencion -> chains of Olympus -> gow 1 -> Ghost of Sparta -> betrayal (mobile game) -> gow 2 -> gow 3 -> 2018 -> ragnarok -> valhalla

There also his apperances in soul calibur and all Stars before god of war 3 and his egypt comic and mortal kombat apperance after god of war 3 which i would probably watch on Youtube (when it fits the Story continuity)

Has anyone ever done that and if yes how was it seeing kratps whole fucking life presented more or less in order

Running a older system GTX 970 I7 3770, ran God of War fine 1080p 60fps (high settings). God of War Ragnarök runs 44 fps 1080p on medium in most area's, larger open area's get 40fps if shadows turned to low. Running this type of single player game at 44fps is fine, medium settings look great and looks better then God of War did. Not sure why they put so many hurdles in the way to stop older rigs running this when it plays well. Near the end of the game and had no crashes or weird visuals. Took a fair few mods though to get here. For though's curious they sorted the audio bug that was a issue in the previous mods.

Where is kratos going next?

Just wondering. Finished the game GoW Ragnarok just now. Just want to revisit few boss fights (especially nidhogg, the hrist and mist fight and the berserkers) at higher difficulty. I used Balanced so far. Don't want to do new game plus as I do not have the patience to go through the story once again.

I know some games have chapter index (doom eternal for example) which lets you play certain stages over and over again.

Just imagine the god of war having a battle with the Hachiman aka The god of war in Japan.

I don't know how to screen record but it sorta looks like this YT vid - but MUCH less intense - instead of covering the whole screen, it's jst few blue lines jutting out/following the leviathan

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L3ID4FdOG6s

This vid is of Ragnarok but I'm playing GoW 2018 btw

Please help it's soo distracting ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

during the first fight he shoots kratos into the sky with mjolnir and tehn just appears next to him then later in the fight he grabs kratos and just ascends both times not being pulled by mjolnir so can he just fly on his own?
