Hey guys, sorry in advance if I'm just not seeing something. I feel like I'm stuck on Iron Cove?

I'm after the second water drop, so I've handled all the encounters and opened all chests. But since I repelled down from the Isle of Death, I don't see a way to reach the boat. Am I missing something? The dock flag takes me to that last chest and I can see the shore, but can't reach it.

Alright, question regarding the Leviathan Axe upgrade (late-game spoiler):

I just beat Baldur for the last time and have to return to Tyr's temple now. That seemed pretty major, but I noticed that both my Leviathan Axe and Chaos Blades are not fully upgraded yet despite being - what feels like - so close to the game's end. Did I miss these upgrades somewhere or shall I just keep playing?

The trophy guide I followed said you have to finish the game first. After that

They're tied to the muspelheim and nifleheim trials. The axe is in the chest that costs 5000 mist things to open

You need to beat the game first, then you'll find the two resources at the shop's Buy section. They'll cost a specific item each, which you can get from Niflheim and Muspelheim. For the Blades', you'll need to beat the Valkyrie Rota at the top of the mountain. For the Leviathan's, there's a treasure chest in Ivaldi's treasure room (?) in Niflheim that costs 5000 Mist Echoes that you have to open. Then just bring them to either dwarf and trade them in.

I just checked and apparently I own both items already; well this makes things easier, lol. Thank you for the detailed explanation!

Play the main path some more.

I just
Told Atreus the truth
and was picking up some side quests. Thing is I can't even get back to the boat (outside loading an earlier save?) to do anything else?
hmm nothing of importance should be locked but I'm not sure which boat you are referring to at this point.

I have been very positive on the game so far but time to bitch about stuff.

Started god of war difficulty last night after i got tired of waiting for them to patch in ng+. I don't want to do another hard run but i really do want to replay the campaign.

But the gow difficulty sucks. It is just awful. Enemies regen health, they don't take any damage, you don't have any runic attacks, any bow Attacks, and after you waste five minutes killing four enemies they spawn four more. Like wtf.

Who wants ti play it like this?

Ugh these trials are going to be tedious. The ring one is annoying.
Try to draw them into the ring and have Atreus shock them in place while you do an Executioner's Cleave. Alternatively, I guess you could freeze them with the axe then kick them over? Just take care not to push them out of bounds.

My memory is terrible to remember the names. The AoE ones i used dealed damage or elemental damage and was upgraded to the max
Alright, I have a ton of XP to spare so I can afford to experiment a bit. Thanks for the reply.

I actually forgot about the axe throw freezing some enemies. I'll try that next time as well.

Anyone got any tips for Give me God of War? I'm getting frustrated here. I'm still starting out, I'm at the part where you fight one revenant and two heavy draugrs and once you kill one two drugrs projectiles come up. This is getting really bad. I'm seriously considering restarting the game on a lower difficulty.

I don't have any advice because I didn't play on hard, but just so you know you can change the difficulty from the options. You don't have to restart.

Don't do your first playthrough on gow. That's just a silly idea. Do hard first. It's hard enough.

In the escape the ruins area about two hours in, is there a chest you can miss out on? I went past it, a door shut behind me, and now I am not sure if I can get back to it.

What are the main changes when going from normal difficulty to Give Me A Challenge? No spoilers please. I'm just starting the snowy area that contains a large dead
giant

What difficulty should i choose? I am very good at action games.
I'll go with the above, do not go with the last option. I'm good at videogames, good at bloodborne and dark souls and this mode is ruthless and it's kicking my ass. I'm restarting the game tomorrow.

It's the cheap kind of difficult from what I've experienced. Enemies hp and dmg upped drastically.

Enemies hit harder, but aside from that, I'm not sure if they fight any differently since I wasn't trying to see the difference so I didn't go back and forth comparing encounters. It provides a better, more satisfying challenge but nothing too hard that'll get frustrating.

So I took a two week break after finishing the story in order to get the Ni No Kuni 2 plat.

I just came back to this and I swear as much as I love this game, it needs a fucking mini map. I hate the stupid compass system they jacked from Horizon Zero Dawn. Neither the compass nor the map you pull up gives any indication on elevation. I'd be saving so much time if I didn't have to just pull up the map or run around in circles trying to figure how to get to places.

Just stumbled across the secret ending without knowing there was one! Pretty hyped for the sequel to say the least.

Quick question for you guys

Can I safely postpone all side quests until after I beat the story? Am I going to be locked out of anything?

How do you open the Nornir Chest in the first hub room of Niflheim?
Take a screenshot of the chest or remember the runes then proceed as you normally would. When you reach the larger "rooms" (e.g. you go left and you'll encounter one deadly corridor, enter a small room, then encounter another deadly corridor, the big room after that is the large room) in the workshop, look around for one of those spinnable rune things. There are three large rooms in total, each one containing those, so just hit them as you would then return to the chest.

The 3 normal rooms without bosses each have a spindle somewhere above. You have to remember the code and then switch each of them and make it back in time.

Apparently I'm not very eloquent at explaining things

Ahhh right ok thanks


Also, is there a way to get health from Ratatoskr? I'm only getting rage gems
