00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we are looking at the armor and items in God of War Ragnarok
00:13that provide the biggest challenges to unlock.
00:22But before we get into it, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe
00:28and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:31Classic Spartan Armor Set
00:41After Sony released free DLC, we all flocked to Valhalla to see what was in store.
00:46With its roguelike structure and story that called back to Kratos' Greek days, it was
00:51a tough but satisfying playthrough.
00:54Since you're stripped of most resources before going in and unlockable armor is only
00:59cosmetic, making it to the end can be a bit challenging, especially since you have to
01:03do it four times to actually complete it.
01:14After vanquishing Tyr for the fourth time, who's no slouch in the combat department
01:18by the way, you'll unlock Kratos' classic Spartan look for a New Game Plus playthrough.
01:24It also boosts his strength, defense, and vitality stats, so it's definitely worth
01:29earning.
01:35Surtr's Scorched Armor Set
01:43Muspelheim, a realm solely meant to test your combat skills through waves of enemies, returns
01:49in Ragnarok, where it has in no way been made any easier.
01:54To get Surtr's Scorched Armor Set, you first have to beat the six Crucible Challenges to
01:58unlock the Final Challenges, which are naturally a lot harder than the others.
02:09You'll get the Cuirass for completing your first challenge in this set, the Bracers after
02:14completing the third, and the Girdle after completing the fourth.
02:18They're all hard, so choosing which ones sound most manageable to you is key.
02:24It's undeniably one of the strongest sets in the game.
02:27The Cuirass lets Kratos deal more damage when interrupting attacks, while the other pieces
02:32decrease damage and stagger he takes while attacking.
02:43Dragon Scaled Armor Set
02:52This badass looking armor set grants Kratos a couple of neat perks, so long as you're
02:56good about blocking and parrying.
02:59The Bracers and Girdle both increase your shield's damage while also dealing shield
03:03damage to enemies you block or parry.
03:05The Breastplate grants a buff to your strength and defense stats with each block and parry,
03:11offsetting the stack when you take damage.
03:14Of course, something this good can only be earned late game, specifically after you reach
03:18the enormous side area in Vanaheim, the Crater.
03:22That's because the parts you need to craft the armor are only dropped by dragons, drakes,
03:27and drekis.
03:28Pretty tough encounters.
03:36You only need to slay a couple beasts to earn the necessary parts, but if you want to upgrade
03:41it, you'll have to do a lot more hunting.
03:54Hilt of Forcebrander
03:59Odin has 48 of his raven spies hidden around the realms.
04:04While you'll come across many of them naturally and will want to kill them for the XP, you're
04:09bound to miss at least a few unless you check in every nook and cranny, or feel like backtracking
04:15to check those completion boxes.
04:17If you do get all of them and head to Niflheim, you'll find a secret boss waiting for you,
04:22the Raven Keeper.
04:33Similar to a revenant on steroids, she likes to teleport around the arena, hurling projectiles,
04:40and summoning minions.
04:41In fact, at a quarter health, she'll summon a dragon known as the Pale One.
04:45Your reward for tracking all ravens down and defeating their keeper is the Hilt of Forcebrander,
04:51a handy item that pushes enemies back and gives Kratos an aura of protection.
05:02Hunter's Armor Set
05:09Like the dragon scaled set, this armor can also only be gained after reaching the crater.
05:14You have to complete three specific quests in order to get Hunter's Brands, the resources
05:19required to craft it.
05:21The first quest is in plain sight, having Kratos face a soul eater.
05:25The second is Nocturnal Predator, having him contend with the Flame Phantom.
05:30The third is not part of a named quest, instead dealing with the Untamed Fury, a centaur huntress
05:36who ambushes you at different spots and retreats after you deal enough damage.
05:41That last enemy is the bigger pain of the three, since you must face her five times,
05:46with the last one having you find her lair in the jungle.
05:55The armor's gauntlets and belt increase the damage of Kratos' ranged attacks, and
06:00the pauldron does the same while aiming.
06:09Berserker Armor Set
06:19This set is for high risk, high reward type players.
06:23When using a relic, the cuirass briefly increases the damage of enemy attacks, but gives a big
06:28boost to Kratos' melee attacks.
06:31The gauntlets grant a low luck chance for soul explosion on each hit, which causes damage
06:36and recharges his relic.
06:38Finally, the waist guard grants a moderate luck chance for soul explosion when Kratos'
06:42hit blocks or parries.
06:51To find these pieces, though, you'll have to defeat three berserker fights, some of
06:55the hardest in the game.
06:57The gauntlets are gained after beating Skutindi the Unairing in Niflheim, the waist guard
07:02is earned after beating Frankie the Zealous on the Lake of Nine, and the cuirass is earned
07:06after beating Sviptikar the Cold in Alfheim, who brings two friends with him.
07:11And yes, I probably did mispronounce all of those names.
07:21Steinbjorn Armor Set This armor set is particularly good for making
07:33a comeback when surrounded by enemies.
07:35While equipped and after taking some damage, the waist guard and gauntlets give Kratos
07:39a moderate luck chance to stagger and stun enemies, and the chest piece lets him steal
07:44their health.
07:45That's on top of a really great defense stat.
07:48You can find it any time after completing Chapter 10.
07:51By returning to the Lake of Nine, you'll find the Mystical Heirloom to the southwest
07:55of Tyr's Temple.
07:57Using this at certain places in the game triggers a troll fight, one at the derelict outpost
08:02in Midgard, one at the Forbidden Sands in Alfheim, and a duo of trolls at Noatun's
08:07Garden in Vanaheim, understandably the toughest.
08:16Rond of Obliteration Ragnarok gives players another ultra-tough
08:27Valkyrie Queen to face in G'nah, Sigrun's successor.
08:31She's fought at the end of the post-game quest that sees Kratos and Freya disposing
08:35of Odin's remaining forces.
08:37And she is a beast, to put it lightly.
08:47Upon beating her, you'll earn the Rond of Obliteration, a shield attachment that boosts
08:51all stats and charges a group of projectiles after blocking for a few moments.
08:56It's tough to get, but certainly more so in Valhalla.
09:00Here you get it after beating Tyr's final fight on the hardest difficulty, Show Me Mastery,
09:05while being afflicted with the Penalty of Breaching, which drains Kratos' health as
09:09you play until he's a breath away from death.
09:23Zeus Armor Set Although it was a bit harder to unlock in
09:33the 2018 game, gaining the Armor of Zeus is still no small feat in Ragnarok.
09:39It can only be found in a New Game Plus playthrough during the post-story quests, meaning you
09:44basically have to beat the entirety of the game twice before you can even use it.
09:48The War Belt is earned after clearing Odin's forces in Vanaheim by Freya's camp, the
09:53Gauntlets are earned after clearing them out of Alfheim Desert, and the Cuirass is earned
09:58after defeating G'nah.
10:00If you feel like playing for a third time, each piece has the same stackable perk, Divine
10:05Edge.
10:06This increases the power of Kratos' melee and runic attacks by 40%, but increases all
10:11incoming damage by 100%.
10:23Hilt of Skofnung You'll get this hilt upon starting the Fit
10:32for a King side quest, but it'll be useless.
10:36In order to use it, you'll have to track down all 12 Berserker fights, which, as I
10:41mentioned before, are incredibly difficult.
10:44The final one, King Krolf Kraki, swaps between weapons and abilities of other Berserkers
10:49at random, making him a hard opponent to read.
11:02Despite a long cooldown, the Hilt is incredible, summoning a group of ghostly blades to tear
11:07through enemy encounters.
11:09This is another item made more difficult to earn in Valhalla.
11:13After unlocking the third arena in the Greek area, the Forum, Kratos will be met by one
11:18of the Berserkers.
11:19You need to visit the Forum three times in a row, and then face the King with whatever
11:24build you've managed to concoct.
11:26After defeating him, you'll be granted the Hilt, as well as cosmetic-only Berserker armor,
11:32for future runs.
11:39Are there any other items in Ragnarok you felt were a pain to unlock?
11:44Let us know about them down in the comments!
