This is kind of putting the cart before the horse, or a catch 22. To get this particular build that "destroys the end game", you need to beat pretty much all of the hardest fights in the game save one to unlock it. If you can already do those fights prior to this build actually coming online, then what's the point of caring that you have it after that when there's nothing left but a single fight that could be a challenge?

this really helped me out with the beseker bosses

Tried 4 diffrent youtube builds to beat Gnar this is the only one that got me over the final 2 bar hump. Honestly, thank you.

Awesome video man! Love the way you went about the build with complete breakdown and showed everything that contributes to a build. Well done 👍🏼

Thanks for the informative guide

"Throw yourself a rager!" That is a funny line. 😆 🤣

I really hope they add a feature to save builds.

Best end game build I'm running right now is a full set of Lundas armor. Some stuff that buffs status effect. And then go around fit fighting everyone.

There's a blade attachment that makes Hyperion Grapple do INSANE stun damage. I used it for most of the game combined with Niðavellir Armor to make it so stun never drops and R3 stun grabs give you health. And Svartalfheim rune set deals stun based on defense which is almost maxed out. Most enemies go down with one hyperion grapple and a stun grab. Some elites take a couple to go down. Doesn't work on some bosses but at least stun never drops so you always get that max stun damage eventually. Pair with stun upgrades on a bunch of your skills. Works pretty well. Almost took down GNÁ bare-handed

Just subscribed...great content and I really appreciate how you explained in detail where and how to aquire items and their usage. Great vid!

Poison build with the dwarf armor for me against gna. But most other stuff the Hunter set with the spear wrecks. OP spear explode.

Thank you! You helped me beat GNa that stupid B!! Spent 2 days trying with this just took me 2 tries

Thanks for the vid I use this build it’s so op😁😁

I have some items on this build but not all. So its good to know im heading in a good direction. Thanks for the thorough build guide.

I like how the enchantment that cancels status effects is just "stop, drop, roll!"

you should upgrade freyas accessorys they are honestly a game changer

Thanks. This got me the win!!!

This a very very very big help for me becaues i cant defeat gna now i can thank you.

Just some advice for anyone that was struggling like I was. I had it on “give me balance” difficulty which I’m sorry no matter what build you have you are going to struggle with a few bosses. The Berserker King, GNA and the Gravestone in the Mist Lands were all pretty tough. I tried out every single build you can think of and in the end the Steinborn armor was what I used. Also this build is good for nothing because by the time you get it the game is over, with no more enemies to punish.

Thanks a ton. This build helped me kill both Gna and berserker king. 👍

I like this guy 👍🏼

Cooooooooooool. ^^

Here’s some better builds: Steinbjorn chest, beserker gauntlets (or raven gauntlets if you need more health), beserker waist. Then just put the 3 relic sets that go with defense, and choose 3 like he did in the video or those are just personal preference imo. Another build I’ve been loving post platinum gmgow is the hunter set. With asgards and Midgards relics you are an unstoppable force with the spear from a distance. But I wouldn’t recommend against gna. Can do all 6 musohelheim challenges within 20 minutes with that build. Another strong build was mentioned by someone else. Nidvellirs plackart raven gloves beserker bottom or really any bottom of your choice. I use grip of radiant reflection, hardened war handle and mighty Olympic. Hope I helped at least one person!

loved this game its my first 100% in a while

Maybe upgrade Freya's stones too, they go to tier 3

My first playthrough was on the normal (give me balance) difficulty and i beat Gna on my first try. The hardest boss for me was the Berserker King who killed me 4x. I was PL9 against both so maximum. For comparison in the 2018 game i needed around 20-30x tries to kill the Valkyrie Queen in my first playthrough (also normal difficulty). As for equipment i used the chest piece which increased dmg based on your rage and also depletes rage once your hp drop to 1 and gloves/belt i used those which reduce enemy stun drain bar by 100%. For amulet i used 3 pieces for stun damage based on defence, 3 pieces that increase max rage based on vitality and last 3 pieces were regen, greater regen and increased dodging distance. Nothing crazy special but it worked just fine and unlike this build in the video the pieces i used you obtain in the first half of the game. I am looking forward to Give me GoW difficulty.

So, for some reason the Stone Idol of souls never appeared after beating the troll. That said, I still went to fight Gna after getting everything else. Did not even need to use a resurrection stone. This build absolutely slaps.

This video was so well put together thank you so much for this build

My beef w/ relic builds is having time to cast the relic skill. You can't take a hit on higher difficulty so i feel like the fist or nine realms build works better. Valor is good b/c you can dodge hits w/ it & get a strength bonus. If you ain't parrying w/ valor you f'n up!

You only have pretty much 2 end game bosses left to do once you get all this though. here's hoping they don't take too long with NG+.

nice job

Damn, looks like I've run out of those crystals to upgrade my Lion's Roar Sauroter. Hope I can get more as it's beginning to look unlikely after picking all those crystals for the Wishing Well.

I wish I had that relic when I was fighting Gná lol she was a tough one.

That thumbnail is hilarious 😂

If you only want stats on the armor, go for the starter set and upgrade it to max

Interesting build. im stuck on gna and the berserker king. Currently experimenting with various builds

I've been playing God of War which is my favorite game for about 2 weeks and my build is nowhere near close still like the game though

Builds matter very little when you are at a higher difficulty like no mercy or GMGoW. I'm attempting Gna at No Mercy with full runic build and am able to bring her to 50% hp before she can even touch me. Afterwards while my runic attacks are charging its all upto how well I dodge cuz normal hits tickle her. She also chains her attacks in unpredictable ways so it starts become more and more reaction based the lower her health becomes.

MY GNA LOADOUT (EVERYTHING MAXED OUT) Axe - grip of the fallen alchemist, njords tempest, breath of thamur Blades - hardened war handles, rampage of the furies, meteoric slam Spear - hind of deadly vitality, thrust of a thousand soldiers, vindsvalrs windstorm Shield - onslaught shield, rond of purification Spartan Rage - valor Relic - hilt of skofnung Chest - giptumadr Wrist - berserker Waist - berserker Amulet - mus. force, mus. endurance, mus. protection, nif. virtue, nif. justice, nif. security, van. fortitude, seal of runic storm, attuned runic gem Freya Sword - thrungva Summon - steel harmony Accessory - sonic aftershock, rune engraved release, runic potency STAY ON THE ATTACK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. USE VALOR STRATEGICALLY. IF SHE CREATES SPACE BE READY TO DODGE OR USE COMPANION TO STUN. SWITCH WEAPONS AND USE YOUR RUNIC ATTACKS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. GIPTUMADR CHEST ARMOR WILL HELP WITH ITS CHANCE TO RESTORE 70% COOLDOWN. BERSERK WRIST AND WAIST WILL HELP COOLDOWN OF RELIC. DONT FORGET TO USE YOUR COMPANION! FREYA IN MY CASE. GOODLUCK!

I’ve almost completed everything in the game. The only things left for me are defeating the berserker king and valkyrie queen which feel impossible so this video is very helpful to people in my situation. Thanks!

Gná was easy I didn't even use rage. I recommend using the dragon scale armor and the berserker chest piece. For the weapons realm shift for everything and for the amulet buffs to damage and during realm shift

I still prefer the poison build, which made for me the game completely easily and simple to play.

Lundas armor is fking op af.. this is what I wear whenever a boss passes me off.. they get deleted instantly

This video leads you to believe it’s mainly for Gna but you don’t show yourself fighting her. And the double tap x to cleanse status wouldn’t be helpful with her with her bifrost right?

for the end game bosses nothing worked for me. so i did my own build of the might armour set, full strength with the nine realms buffs with the level 9 stone shield to block most attacks. used the spear as main weapon with all luck items in the amulet for the spear boost. this build with how i play worked for me on the bosses.

Yeah, that berserker fight in Alfiem is the hardest bosses battle by far! So after beating them everything else is easy

You need to kill all the trolls to get the stone idol of souls. I found this out when I didn’t get it for killing Bjarg, but 3 more troll fights later I got it.

I didn't get that enchantment when I fought the troll in your video. I got something called poison protector. So perhaps the order they drop is randomized.

What do you recommend for a runic attack for someone who hasn't beat bezerker king or gna. Which is basically all I have left besides a couple annoying treasures to get 100 percent

I wish we could transmog the weapon grips as well, my axe pommel doesn't match at all!

The best build for me is the one that you get in the beginning of the game (Survival armor), has literally the best attributes and no one talk about it

A bit late on comments, but kinda want to reinforce that to obtain everything from the build, you need to kill one of 2 top tier bosses. Which is make things even worse, since you have to defeat berserkers trio in Alfheim, to unlock Hrolf. I am surprised anyone who beat them, has problems with Hrolf or Gna. Swap the relic for anything else, and this build actually become interesting. Because now you need only berserker from Midgard, easiest one by far, and berserker from Nifleheim, which is a bit harder, but nothing compared to Trio or even Duo. Realm Shift relic is always a good option.

Lundas set is the best in end game Freya can make sure poison is applied consistently and its not hard to switch to bare handed to apply it yourself. Poison makes them deal less and take more damage. I use the runic storm and sigil of doom enchantments to get a 14sec bifrost storm and make hexes explode for massive damage. The rond of distruption spawns elemental storms that with bifrost storm can melt enemies and the glaive relic makes sure you have 2 ways to get bifrost on enemies.

Token of elemental evasion seems like a waste when you already have that shield. An other thing: when you have all these things there are not a lot of enemies left to fight.

This build helped me FINALLY beat the Berserker King. Thank you! Time to take down Gna.

There is nothing "simple" about this build, the Trials and the Berserkers........your crazy!! Thanks for the build video though, definitely gonna try this out. What level should I be when I try to defeat the Berserkers and the trials?

was i the only one who saw how op the beginner armor would be if upgraded to level 9? I am not a hundred percent sure but I think it was strength and defense 68 and everything else (runic, cooldown, vitality etc.) 48 it seems like the best armor set to me if you don't really have a certain playstyle

U need end game´s drop to use build for end game??? : 9 ). Wepons lvl 9?

You can use EVERY build, it doesn't matter much. Game is based on using blocks and sidesteps to avoid damage. One you got it, you can go naked.

Me who beat GMGW with the survival set maxed out: >:)

Where can I find Hels touch? I have every runic except that one

I managed to kill gna with dragon set I think maybe the ragnarok waist guard but yeah

4:55 can we talk about freya killing the berserker king at the last second?

I like to build some builds that i see on youtube but my game is in dutch, because i am dutch, and everything on youtube is in english so its hard too translate all these armor pieces and other things too dutch.

This is why I want NG+. Maxing (almost if possible) everything is pointless if you must do everything first.

I'll still watch the video tho

So the build has the relic from the hardest boss in the game to fight the second hardest boss?

I’m one of 2.4% of players that got 100% completion platinum trophy on the game (no I didn’t need to mention that but I wanted to flex) and I can say this build is solid but I use a realm shift build 😈 +plus to get all this armor to beat end game your already in it/ past it so does it matter id say the Lunda set is very solid especially for give me god of war players for beginning/mid game and some end game

I would have liked that you could save several sets, imagine altering or comparing the statistics by sets, BRUTAL, when I say sets I mean personal Builds like this, sometimes you want to change your gameplay style

destroys end game? on what level? Story? how about GMGoW difficulty? did you tested it?

So I'm following along with the build, got everything in the video but my stats aren't the same as the ones in this video. Why is that?

To be fair, anything on normal or lower difficulty doesn't really matter that amount of stats because you're going to one shot everything anyway. I played on give me no mercy and gná was two shotting me being LV 9 with all my gear capped

It’s not recommended using the relic the berserker king gives you against GNA on give me god of war… the cool down is 253 seconds. It’s better to use the hilt of Horfao which gives a realm * shift and with the berserker armor and surtr gauntlet, and the rond of purification the cool down is shorten that you can realm shift during critical attacks GNA and even the berserker king can one shot you… I platinum this game 2 days ago, but was dying a bunch of times to gna and the berserker king specifically because of the aoe moves that you can’t knock back the enemy using shield bash or simply throwing an axe at them. Give me god of war ain’t a joke and waiting for 253 seconds for the reset is not gonna be helpful when you really need to give them that stun right when you need it

Except you forgot to mention that you can’t fight the Berserker King until after you beat the main story. 🤷🏽‍♂️ That makes this build handy only for the GNÁ fight. 😎

Who is left to fight once you get this armor?

Any good build to destroy the berserker King??

Man I got a lvl 7 kratos and GNA is impossible I barely get 2 bars off her before she destroys me

Lol getting slapped with seven swords….. for Asgard! Lol

00:18 how can I get those green swords?

This build looks familiar🤔🤔

It’s too bad we need to kill the king to get the epic relic needed to kill the king catch 22. I’m having trouble beating the king beat every thing else in the game already too

What difficulty are you playing on?

You’re sleeping on the gauntlets of radiance

Took me 4 hours to beat gna

how do you get to that area in nifilheim

Does this work on any difficulty?

I didn't get the stone idol of souls from the troll 😔 not in my game I don't think

how to use 9 enchantments?

Pointless build the berserkers are one of the hardest bosses in the game and the ones that drop the armour are even harder so what’s the point in a build to defeat bosses using the armour from the hardest bosses in the game

I use a cool down build and just spawn runic attacks lol

whaaaatt.. i'm at level 7 but my strength already 548..

Great build….the problem with me is that I managed to beat Gna but now this moron King Hrolf is beating the crap out of me a lot (didn’t count the number of times and the number of builds I’ve tried)…..

Man I already 100% the game and trophy's.... I don't know what to do without ivaldi's workshop :(((

The ogre in Alf didn't give me the stone idol of souls

Just get the unkillable amour set I defeated king beserker without resserectuon stone

I get it everyone loves this gear… There has to be other setups that are just as good..

This is going to sound harsh but I’d rate this game an 8.5. First one was a 10 cuz it was all new and obviously amazing. And those Valkyrie’s were hard af. I feel like the berserkers were pretty easy except the fight with 3 of them. The ending could’ve been more dramatic or just something more. Kinda felt meh to me. Not having a melee/shield skill tree anymore. Also my biggest gripe is no reward for harder difficulty. I played through first on No mercy and I pretty much platinumed it in one run with 50 hours. I have no great reason to play on GMGoW or NG+. I’ve unlocked everything. Great game but it’s over now after all he wait and hype.

You have to beat the berserkers.... what's the point then lol

Well we first need to defeat all the berserkers in order to update all the weapons to 9 which I haven't because I cannot defeat them fools.im playing Straight to "give me God of war" tho

Did i beat gná yet? Gná
