Can I just say, as someone who played this game late due to family and work just being too busy, your videos helped me out tremendously. Also, not giving spoilers away is extremely hard to find. Thanks a lot.
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you've found my content helpful 😁 I definitely know what it's like to have limited time to play, so I'm glad to hear my videos have helped you out!
Late to the party as well on GoW:R and I find this video very helpful. I don't really mind progressing slow on the story or game itself as long as I can fight in style lol
It is also worth it to use the rond of purification to throw the status effect on you onto your enemies and that includes bifrost. It was my favorite because you don’t always need to be hit by bifrost to have it cling to you so it is easier to get rid of than waiting
Great point! Yeah the Rond of Purification is a great option. I discuss it in more detail in my mid-game build video👍
Yes I always use the purification to get rid bifrost with the shield that charges enemies
@@fmx88torana onslaught sheild?
The hex state doesn't just make it easier to apply element effects and create explosions, it can also boost an element, like with frost, normally enemies are just slowed, but after you hex them, they will have the same effect as if you threw the axe at them, they won't be able to move.
Also, it is really useful, for damaging bosses, who are already in an elemental state, because after each hex explosion the enemy is cleared from the hex effect, so you can immediately star building it up again. If you focus on hex build-up with your companion you can just send a barrage of arrows at them, creating multiple explosions
Yes good tips! Thanks for sharing those 👍
Have you tested how hex boosts burn status?
@@bigboibebop No, I haven't done any testing, just what I could see while playing. And it's pretty difficult to spot the difference with burn damage without proper testing.
But I also wander if hex boosts other elements
Yes, true. Hex is by far the best against einherjar due to taking 2 instead of 3 to 4. There is a lot to cover with einherjar in general, so I won’t go too deep into it lol.
i still miss my shock arrows from 2018 but the hex arrows i do have to admit after finding out their actual use is pretty badass damage wise.
These videos are a GOLD mine of information. THANK YOU for compiling all this info into videos man. Love to see the community work together to make these games even more fun.
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😄
Dude... I've platinumed, 100% the game on normal difficulty and am now half-way through my GMGOW playthrough.... And just like the advanced combat video this is overflowing with mechanics I don't use nearly enough or at all. Great shit as always, this deserves way more likes than it has.
Hey thanks! Glad to hear you could pick up some tips from this and my combat tips video 😄 I hope you find them helpful for your GMGOW playthrough!
I platinumed first in normal mode then yesterday got platinumed in GMGOW, still doesn't knew this element stuff, never froze enemy with axe R2 nor used flame or anything. I didn't even know how to use parry with shield, entire game in GMGOW used shield which blocks yellow ring attacks. Don't know if i m fool or feel proud to platinumed in both modes. Maybe will try in new game +.
How many hours did it take you to platinum?
@@justinc.242 i don't know if this can help you, but getting the platinum trophey took me 50 hours of gameplay, on normal difficulty
Does God of War difficulty have Permadeath? That's the only thing that is keeping me from trying it.
[Vaporize Frost] and [Extinguish Flames] Is actually nuts. It makes the game MUCH EASIER. Also each mob has a specific weakness to either Burn or Frost to trigger first, this particular weakness makes dealing with multiple of the Same enemy type much easier. After you get the Hex arrows is basically a garantee Win to every fight.
That being said: Lunda set is just too good :v
Agreed! Vaporize and Extinguish are really rewarding once you get down the mechanics of using them down. And yeah the Lunda set is a tad OP lol
What do you mean by "much easier?" Which difficulty are you referring to? I find Normal pretty easy but then No Mercy can be too hard. No balance at all.
Edit: I just tested applying Sonic and Hex on the same target in a Loki’s perspective part, it seems like they stack with each other.
A few things that I have noticed (and you didn't mention in the video): Frozen and Burned effects are mutually exclusive (both can be built up at the same time or while the other is in full effect, but triggering one effect will expire the other full effect). I have also noticed that Vaporizing Frost and Extinguish Flame apply the opposite status rather quickly, so it's easier to juggle these two statuses back and forth fore more damage. Poison and Shock are their own categories and seem to not be affected by any effect other than Hex (though I have not tried to apply Shock and Poison at the same time). The Boon of Wrath enchantment and Rond of Affliction shield attachment will wipe the full statuses and trigger explosion (including shock, poison, hex and sonic, though I'm not sure if the explosion will deal more damage if there are multiple full effect being active on the target). There are ways to cleanse yourself of affliction statuses (roll with Elemental Evasion enchantment or trigger Rage) or transfer the effects onto your target (Rond of Purification). Stun builds up more slowly on enemies that have been stunned before, which is significant for boss fights. Most bosses just take a chunk of damage whenever the stun meter is full, but some can be stun-grabbed (like Fiske, the Einherjar you encounter in Vanaheim), but when this is the case the boss will be immune to stun after being grabbed.
Thanks 👍🤓
Bro you should make your own video so i can watch haha
@@t.wayne21 I would if I could haha. Making a video is not in my skillset at the moment.
Frost and poison also prevent dark elves from recovering while mid air, mentioned in the codex beastinary
Oh yes good tip! Thanks for sharing that 👍
Oh nice, it was so annoying trying to do an air combo against them.
THANK GOD, Dark elves are one of if not the most annoying enemies not including bosses.
Building up frost or burn and dealing more damage with the vaporize skills was basically my playstyle during my first run.
It's pretty strong!
Very informative. Thanks for the help !
I'd love to see a video breaking down the differences between the Rage Abilities. Each one can help in very different ways.
much obliged for all the info in this vid especially about the frost status not doing any actual damage which i was not aware of
Super helpful wish I’d seen this earlier - now I’ve 100% beyond ragnarok and all my stuff is maxed out that most fights last a couple seconds 😂
Yo arktix amazing vid, btw, when r u dropping the best late/endgame gear video?
Thank you! Late/endgame build videos is in the works 👍 Hoping I can have it done around New Years.
Arkitx this has been heavily on my mind, thank you for the quality and informative video!
Thanks Baltazar! Hope you find these tips helpful 👍
Thanks for the guide! I really love the elemental mechanics especially frost, burn, and hex. It rewards you for not taking damage and give you a very powerful extinguish or vaporize for the burned or frozen enemies
Thanks! And yeah I like them too. I feel they're well balanced. As you said, they reward you for playing well, which is pretty satisfying.
As always, you’re the man!
My dude, this is THE most helpful video I’ve come across for ragnarok. Liked, subscribed, cheers
Hey thanks! Glad you liked it 😄 And I appreciate your like and sub 🙏
On the frost effects uses: Not only does it slow down their movement, like how fast the move and attack, it slows down every aspect of them. If you freeze an enemy and launch them into the air or knocking them down they're basically unable to do anything for like 7 seconds. Meaning you can do some longer combos for extra damage (combining it with vaporized frost is deadly) or launching an opponent so u can deal with another.
Yes good point!
Explaining that the icons have build ups and timers is a game changer.
It was helpful to know that I could hit them with the shield to activate the bifrost ! I’ve beaten the. Game and started over and going through the game again , so great video , very helpful
Thanks! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😁
Very helpful, thank you.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
First time ever God of War player... first off this is the best hack &slash type game I've ever played.. Xbox could neva😂😂... and secondly... I've watched a few of your videos and they totally had me ready to go. Greatly appreciated!!!
Hey thank! Glad you’re enjoying the game and finding my videos helpful 😁
Thanks for video. I was decently confused about how some of the status' worked and this cleared it right up!
Great! Glad I was able to clear some things up 🙂
Hey bro, thanks for all the effort you put into this. Really appreciate your well articulated, on point explanations without wasting the viewers time. Helped me a lot. Cheers.
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful and good quality 😁 Thanks for your comment!
this was amazing! I've been looking for decent breakdown while fumbling with frost/permafrost and not really understanding what i'm doing. thanks!
Awesome! Glad to hear you found this helpful 😁
great video, Practicing these technics is hard but the difference they make, especially when fighting a hoard, is a game changer.
Thanks! Yeah it's definitely a challenge to master the mechanics, but they're definitely rewarding! Especially Vaporize Frost and Extinguish Flames.
Loved this video so much! I dropped a like 2 mins in. Great stuff

Thank you!
Great video !
Thanks!
Great video. Thank you. I'm on my 2nd playthrough and despite reading everything I didn't understand how it works. Especially the Hex stuff
Awesome! Glad you could pick up some tips!
Muito bom mesmo esse vídeo. Obrigado.
Thank you!
Damn nice info, idk how u have the patience to learn all this but I appreciate it 😅.
Thanks! I hope you find it helpful 👍
Good video, great for beginners but I think you should have went into enemy elemental weaknesses far more, a good example is sonic. Most enemy’s take like 4 sonic arrows to get soniced, BUT grind are far less resident to it, they take 2 to 3 which on paper doesn’t sound too much, it becomes game changing since you can sent them backwards with blades aim R2 and into CG(combat grapple) into the hood attack due to it coming faster from that attack(and others) and it DESTROYS them due to them being far weaker to stun compared to most other enemy’s. This isn’t even the full extend of how much depth there is to it, but I don’t think you want to go that deep but point is it’s a fantastic tool. Ask me more questions about it if you want.
Wow that was difficult to follow. So much information so quickly explained. Ragnarok is the first GOW I play, so I some difficulty taking it all in.
Thank you for the video! Watching this after already finished the game at 100% but now waiting for NG+.
You're very welcome! I hope these tips prove useful for future playthroughs 👍
Fraya has abilities to apply heavy chunks of poison and/or Bifrost as well, both runic and through her sword choice.
Fantastic video; well presented, concise, and useful. Glad you’re covering Ragnarok after Forbidden West
Thank you! Glad to hear you found this to be good quality 🙏 I hope the tips prove useful!
I have no choice but to subscribe to your channel. Awesome content and tips!
Haha awesome! Welcome 😄 Hope you find the tips helpful!
Gr8 video
Thanks!
There’s an amulet set that boosts damage against status afflicted enemies. I want to know every way hex effects elemental damage. Speaking from experience, hex disappears quite quickly when trying to apply status afflictions. The sigil punishment charm doesn’t get much use because the status bar gets deleted as soon as another one appears.
When a full Hex and a Full, non-sonic, Status effect meet, the hex "explodes" and spreads the other effects around. Hex get used up.
There’s also boom of wrath. When using Wrath it will absorb all elemental damage.
Thanks I was wondering how to use the thing since it doesn't work with the other 2 unless you have the attachment that does
preparing for valhalla!
I found this very helpful. The elemental damage is pretty confusing by the way its described in game and I mostly found myself ignoring it.
Great! Glad you found it helpful 😁
10:36 that also happens with some tunics and skill.
I count grasp the combat mechanics so I just attacked with whatever weapon animations looked cool lol. Definitely giving these techniques a try.
I hope you found these tips helpful!
Ty
You're very welcome!
I definitely hated Hex until I realized it causes the explosions when the status builds lol
have a lot of fun with it now and only use sonic when I am doing stun builds.
Yeah I didn't really use Hex for a bit either until I played around with it and understood what it did lol
This video blew up since I saw it last, let’s goooooo 😎
Haha yeah it did a bit!
you did forget to mention that you actually get a sheild rond of purification where you can return status applied to you back to an enemy so thats another way getting hit with bifrost is a good thing because you can shield bash and transfer it off yourself. its never good to get hit but if you must its great to expire those status on you asap and turn it around on them.
Amazing video bro!
Just wondering if you already announced the winner of you give away since you already get more than 20k subscriber.
and congrats for that
Thank you! And yes, the giveaway is complete. I have reached out to all the winners via email. I won't be announcing who exactly won because I don't want to create a situation where people are being contacted and harassed. Not that I think you would do that, but some people might.
My favorite combo is hex, axe frost awaken, hold r1 to get them frosted if not currently frosted, spam sonic, blades triangle R2, sprint hold r1, l1 triangle, and unload. It's the best for boss mobs on gmgow muspelheim challenges. Do not underestimate the power of always having L1 triangle up.
Nice! I'm not sure if I've been utilizing that particular chain of attacks or not. I'll have to give it a try in the Niflheim arena to see what it's like.
What does L1 triangle do?
@@StealnSoulz105 activates your meter with no hit combo
You forgot to mention that Freya can build up bifrost using the sword you find as a part of the 'Freya's missing peace' mission
i’m pretty sure sonic’s stasis ability vs airborne opponents also freezes them on the ground after they fall until sonic runs out.
I hust started playing got the blades of chaos when i equip them an it shows they equipped an return to battle it keeps me on my axe I try to push triangle but it not changing to blades
I have a question, do the extinguish flames and vaporize frost skills ONLY apply to melee attacks of the axe and the blades?
It says melee attacks; so are range, triangle attacks, L1 + triangle and runic attacks excluded and they the exact same damage regardless of the state the enemy is in? Or do any of those also counts as melee and do bonus damage?
Pretty sure around the same.
What does "Force" element mean for the Draupnir spear?
In this video we see what your mods tokens are for every skill. Is that your go to mod load out, and if not, what is your suggested load out. I know that you should adjust them for certain fights, but what is your suggestion?
Also the set vanheim enchantment bonus says you do more damage to status enemies. I didn't notice the increase when the only status was not hex/sonic. I don't know if that is true, because I wasn't doing extensive testing, but am curious on if that 3 piece set works with arrow status
Good question. I say that's pretty close to my optimal skill tokens, but I didn't quite have everything unlocked when I recorded these clips and I've probably changed a few of them. What's show would be a great place to start though.
I've tested the Vanaheim set with all statuses and it does appear to work with all of them, but I'll double check again...
4:21 how do you perform this boomerang attack?
Damn.. I've almost 100% completed this game and I didn't know half the things you mentioned in this video!!
Thank you so much for this, I'm sure it'll help me with the remaining enemies in the game.
Any tips for the Berserker in Niflheim? He's the only one I have to beat before I can fight the Berserker King. The bifrost attacks are destroying me! :((
Thanks! Glad you were able to pick up some tips here 😄 Yeah the Niflheim Berserker can be tough. If you're having trouble avoiding the Bifrost, putting the Rond of Purification on your shield can be a good way to clear it. I show where to get it in my mid-game build guide.
@@ArktixOfficial I have been using it! My problem with bifrost enemies is that they tend to teleport out of range just as my attack is about to land.. I guess I just need to get better at playing, lol. Your videos are a great help in that regard!
Ah yeah. The teleporting is annoying. At least you can clear the bifrost from yourself though! And thanks! Glad to hear you find my content helpful 🙂
0:01 I thought that was Freya LOL
The axe has higher damage per hit
The blades easily does higher overall damage
if u have a neutral enemy frosted or burned and u siphon it with the spear will the spear get the applied status effect?
No, they were gonna do something like that originally but didn’t want the spear to be too flexible.
Imo, Poison and Bifrost are my favorite’s effects to use against enemies
Regarding the Stun Attacks; If you stun a Wulver when the Grab Symbol is yellow, then Heavy Attacks will give you Health Stones.
Really? Wow that's an interesting tip. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!
@@ArktixOfficial I don't know how many other creatures have the same effect, but I think Revenants do as well.
Good tip! Another tip for wulvers, if you attack them outside of attack animation and before they transform with the blades traingle slam, it will always launch allowing for ring outs aka insta kills. You can also cancel their transformation with runic attacks(not regular staggers like axe frost bite sadly I think). If there is no ringout spot, you can use a infinite with BoC with OH(Orion harpoon aka aim r1).
There is more to them but this is one of the best strategy’s imo.
Here’s a third comment for your troubles.
I’ve already 100%’d and platinumed ragnarok, so now I going for true 100% - all ratatasks, favours, upgrades, e v e r y t h i n g. This video is going to be invaluable.
Nice! Hope you find the tips helpful!
Have you already finished the game and now focus on thoroughly understanding its mechanics or are you doing this as you progress the game for the first time? Im curious, because I guess posting GOW content makes you more vulnerable to spoilers :D
Anyway, thanks for the great explanation.
You're very welcome! I hope you find these tips helpful 👍 And I hadn't quite finished when I was getting most of the clips for this video, but I'm close to 100% now.
What about the Daze status effect?
Main takeaways: Hex amplifies everything else and poison is OP.
Real pity we don't have the old Light Arrows and Shock Arrows from 2018. Those were way more OP. With Light Arrows dealing Stun and Weaken on the enemies, and the Shock chaining to multiple enemies to immobilise them.
Ah yeah. I kept waiting for those to get unlocked, but nope =/
does poison from your attacks stack with poison from freyas relic to make the unit 2 difficulties weaker?
Good question. No, Freya's poison will stack with yours to help build up to the poison state faster, but you can't have a stronger poison state. The poison state always lowers enemy power levels by 1.
@@ArktixOfficial Makes sense, thanks!
Could you explain the Maelstrom effect for the Draupnir Spear?
The maelstrom skill? Basically, it increases the damage the spear does as you continue to get hits without taking damage yourself.
@@ArktixOfficial Oh, okay. I thought it might increase the damage from status effects. I guess that only applies to the "Attuned Elements" Hind.
Oh yes that would just be the Attuned Elements hind.
These tutorials should come packaged with the game.
Haha thanks! 😄 Glad you liked this!
Fr thank you bro
I need to defeat the queen
Now i can use this for her...hating every second
Haha yes she is tough! Hope these tips are helpful!
Does fighting in Niflheim let you complete labours and skill tiers? Because I've been fighting in Muspelheim, and it can get repetitive.
Sure you can complete some of them in Niflheim
@@ArktixOfficial Awesome. Thanks.
@@ArktixOfficial One more thing; have you been able to figure out what the Rond of Obliteration's special attack does? Because it doesn't do anything special that I can see.
Edit: Never mind. I found out it applies Bifrost to the enemy.
HOLY SHIT, I’ve put close to 100 hours into this and I never noticed the circle icon next to your health bar fills up for immolation and permafrost!
Haha yeah they don't really explain it at any point very clearly. Glad you could pick up a tip on that!
So much useful info
Me: Midgard + Asgard talisman bonus and just throw and detonate spear for the rest of the game lol
Thanks! Glad you found this helpful 😁
The absolute best is wearing the maxed out Lunda's Armor and maxed out Stonewall Shield
