The Axe must also stay in Kratos’ hand to keep building Permafrost, so this rules out, any aimed throws. Once unlocked and purchased, Permafrost will build every time you hit an enemy with your axe and is represented by this gauge at the bottom left of the UI which slowly fills with each successful strike.Īll the Permafrost gained will be lost and the gauge will empty If you are hit by an enemy without blocking or fail to strike an enemy for a few seconds. The Leviathan Axe has a combination of precise high impact close range and long range attacks, with many of its skills dealing frost damage and in certain cases instant freeze.Īn important Skill to understand in relation to maximizing the effectiveness of your Leviathan Axe attacks is ‘ Permafrost’ which is a tier 2 skill as shown here. Kratos also has a set of barehanded attacks and skills he uses in combination with his Guardian Shield which rapidly builds the Stun meter on certain enemies. There are just three weapons in the entire game of God of War, these are the Leviathan Axe, the Blades of Chaos, and Atreus’ Talon Bow, all of which can be upgraded multiple times.
