After completing the main story God of War, which takes about 20 hours, many players have a question - what to do next and what end-game content is available in the game. The developers have tried and made the game world very rich, so that even after the end of the story there is something to do: traveling through other worlds, collecting, killing bosses and much more.
How best to play the game
You can go through story missions in God of War at the pace you want: the game does not pull you straight to the main task, but allows you to explore the location, collect all the items, complete another task.
When the story is completed, and some of the collectibles and tasks are completed, you can go to complete all the remaining activities in the game. Even after the final completion of the story missions, you can return to any location and finish any unfinished business.
Collecting Items
All locations of God of War are filled with chests and collectibles, some of them are right in plain sight, and to find others you will have to solve puzzles and climb into the most inaccessible place in the region. The game has norn chests с apples Idunn и honey blood horns, which are best collected as you progress through the game, as these resources increase Kratos' base stats.
In addition to chests, there are Crows of Odin и Sanctuaries of Jotnur, allowing you to unlock achievements for finding all the items. There are also less visible collectibles - artifacts и treasure maps. Artifacts are inconspicuous finds lying on the ground. Each set of artifacts is lost in a separate region, once found, the items can be sold, earning additional chopped silver.
You can find out the location of all artifacts from our bagpipe.
treasure maps, in turn, also allow you to earn resources: chopped silver, as well as useful equipment. Kratos can find a scroll with a riddle and a place where the treasure is hidden, and then find this location and collect the reward for himself.
Completing secondary tasks
Requests are the name of side quests in God of War. These quests additionally reveal the world of the game, allow you to earn extra money and unlock trophies. There are three types of requests in the game: dragon requests, Brock and Sindri's requests, the requests of the Restless Spirits.
Improvement of equipment and pumping
The game has several types of weapons, each of which can be upgraded. Leviathan can be improved to 6 level, Blades of Chaos to 5 level. Do not forget about the variety of armor and skills that allow you to make the most strong build in the game. All these actions will help ease the battles with the remaining enemies.
Journey through the worlds
Above we talked about three types of requests, but there is one more, non-standard. Requests for finding fragments of ciphers of languages hidden in special purple chests with a skull on the lid. By completing this "request", Kratos will unlock access to one of two worlds: Muspelheim or Niflheim.
Muspelheim - a world of fire, filled with lava and many difficult challenges, each of which, of course, is rewarded. All locations are a small plateau with a huge sword in the center. Here you can also start a special test, where during the battle a modifier will be applied to Kratos or opponents: limited time to kill opponents, constant regeneration of enemy creatures, and much more.
Niflheim - a huge labyrinth, which is generated in a new way every time. All passages of this arena are filled with poisonous fog, and you can only stay in it for a limited time. The location also has a safe zone - a gnome's shop, here you can also get secondary task "The Curse of Ivaldi".
Hunt for the Valkyries
Despite the fact that the whole plot is already behind, the most difficult enemies are still ahead. All over the map God of War are hidden Secret Halls of Odin, in which you can find a special boss - Valkyrie, imprisoned in her own body. To free the soul of the war and send it to Valhalla, you need to kill the Valkyrie. There are 8 such bosses in the game and 1 final boss - The Valkyrie Queen Sigrun. After defeating the most difficult enemy in the game, you can peacefully continue to knock out the remaining trophies
