Reclaiming the Blade of Olympus in God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla
- 20/12/2023

For those who have embarked on the treacherous and epic journey of God of War Ragnarok, the Valhalla DLC brings not only new challenges but also the opportunity to wield the legendary Blade of Olympus. This iconic weapon, which has been absent from the series’ reboot until now, carries with it a storied past and unmatched power. It is a treasure that long-time fans and newcomers alike will covet, representing a tangible link to Kratos's formidable history.
Embarking on the Quest for Power
The quest to obtain the Blade of Olympus is intertwined with the early narrative of the Valhalla DLC. It is a journey that sees Kratos delving deep into his past, confronting memories and adversaries that have shaped his tumultuous saga. Players will navigate through the DLC's roguelite structure, making strategic choices in weapon upgrades and customization to survive the ordeals ahead.
Unlocking the Blade of Olympus
The Blade of Olympus is not simply handed over; it must be earned through valor and perseverance. Players will find themselves completing the second objective, titled Homecoming, in their quest for this mighty weapon. During this mission, Kratos will once more face the remnants of Helios, guiding him through a series of challenges that culminate in a pivotal moment where the Blade of Olympus is unleashed.
Mastering the Legacy of Sparta
Once the Blade of Olympus is obtained, players will return to the Shores, a serene interlude amidst the chaos of Valhalla. It is here that permanent augments to Kratos's arsenal are made, including setting the stage for the Blade of Olympus's use in battle. Through the Spartan Rage selector, players can choose the Legacy option, empowering Kratos with the ability to summon the Blade of Olympus in a glorious display of might when his rage meter is at its peak.
Harnessing Unbridled Power
The Blade of Olympus is not merely a symbol of strength but also a practical asset in the heat of combat. With each successful defense and counter, Kratos's rage meter fills, bringing him closer to the moment where he can call upon the Blade's devastating power. Additionally, the weapon provides the boon of restoring vitality with each adversary overcome, making it an indispensable tool for the trials that lie ahead.
The Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok does more than expand the narrative; it reconnects players with the very essence of Kratos's path—the Blade of Olympus. This weapon is a testament to his enduring legacy, a reminder of past triumphs, and a beacon of hope for the battles that loom on the horizon. For those who dare to wield it, the Blade of Olympus offers a profound advantage in the face of Ragnarok's myriad challenges.
