Leviathan Axe

The Leviathan Axe is the first weapon that players get in God of War Ragnarok. It does loads of damage and builds up Frost – a status effect that slows down enemies.

It hits very hard in close combat and when thrown using L2 to aim and R2 to throw.

However, The Leviathan Axe’s most useful ability is that it can damage enemies when you recall it using the triangle button after throwing it. This helps it be the most versatile weapon out of the 3 Kratos can wield.

Leviathan Axe Stats & Upgrades

At level 1, the Leviathan Axe starts with 10 Strength. With each upgrade, its Strength increases by 15, up to a maximum of 130.

Players can use Frozen Flames to upgrade the Leviathan Axe up to level 9. It costs 1 Frozen Flame for Each upgrade.

Here’s where to find Frozen Flames to upgrade the Leviathan Axe so you can make the weapon as powerful as possible!

Blades of Chaos

The Blades of Chaos are Kratos’ iconic swords and have appeared in every game in the God of War series so far. Players get the Blades of Chaos during the first mission of the story.

This weapon is best used to take down large groups of enemies, as the attacks hit a larger area than the other weapons.

Hitting enemies with the Blades of Chaos builds up the Burn status effect which deals damage over time. Additionally, you’ll need to use this weapon to damage frosted enemies, who resist the Leviathan Axe.

Blades of Chaos Stats & Upgrades

When you get the Blades of Chaos, the weapon is at level 1 and has 10 Runic. You can upgrade the Blades of Chaos to increase its Runic by 15 at each level, up to a maximum of 130.

Chaos Flames are used to level up the Blades of Chaos, with it costing one Chaos Flame per upgrade.

Draupnir Spear

The Draupnir Spear is a new weapon for God of War Ragnarok that makes use of the Wind element. It is the final weapon that players will unlock in the game’s storyline.

You can use the Draupnir Spear for close combat but it is best for throwing at enemies.

After throwing it, you can detonate one or multiple spears by pressing the triangle button.

Here’s how to unlock the Draupnir Spear in God of War: Ragnarok!

Additionally, the Draupnir Spear is probably the most balanced weapon of the three. It provides a good mid-ground between the raw damage of the Leviathan Axe and the area of effect attacks of the Blades of Chaos.

Draupnir Spear Stats & Upgrades

When you receive the Draupnir Spear, it is already Level 5 and gives you 10 Luck. Every upgrade for the Draupnir Spear increases this luck by 10, up to a maximum of 50!

You can use a Gale Flame to upgrade the Draupnir Spear by 1 level. The maximum level for this weapon is 9.

Of course, Atreus also has his bow, which you can make the most of by pressing square while you are mid-battle as Kratos. But can you play as Atreus in God of War Ragnarok too?
