As players upgrade the Axe, it dishes out increasing freezing damage and status effects in addition to its blunt force power. The blade on the Axe itself is incredibly sharp and can penetrate armor in addition to the ability to cleave through entire bodies (human or otherwise). Its signature ability is freezing opponents, making them easy targets for the Kratos or his son to finish off. Fortunately, regardless of where it is, the Axe always returns to him, damaging enemies along the way. The Axe's sheer size would make it unwieldy for the average person, but Kratos tosses it around the battlefield with ease.

It was gifted to the frost giant Laufaye and later passed to her husband, Kratos, after her passing. The Blades of Chaos can be upgraded with Light and Heavy Runic Attacks, Blade Grips, and can be leveled to in the skill tree to unlock unique attacks for both melee and elemental combat.The Leviathan Axe was forged by the blacksmith dwarves Brok and Sindri, a pair of estranged siblings who felt regret after creating Thor’s hammer and seeing the devastation it caused. The Blades of Chaos feature an upgrade tree similar to that of the Leviathan Axe and can be used very effectively against certain types of enemies. As the story unfolds in the game, a cinematic break in the action will push Kratos to retrieve the Blades of Chaos that he’s locked away.Īfter this mission, you will be able to use the Blades of Chaos at will as a third weapon in Kratos’ arsenal, alongside the Leviathan Axe, Melee Combat, and Shield Attacks. To get the Blades of Chaos in the new God of War you simply need to progress far enough into the story to use them. However, you will get access to the Blades of Chaos later in the game. In the new God of War Kratos has a brand new weapon in the Leviathan Axe, a change of pace from the different sets of blades that he’s used in previous God of War games.
