    For anyone who preordered the game, I highly recommend the Darkdale set. The armour lets you heal when killing enemies in Rage and the Weapon Attachments work very well with the Awaken and Whiplash skills.

  • @grimm6jack
    @grimm6jack Před rokem +15

    Really nice walkthrough once again. You really are an inteligent gamer, for the newbies and less experienced players, this really is the best early game build.
    For the people who are veterans at GoW 2018 and mastered the parry and dodge and also the timing of your attacks, forget about any other stat but strength, especially if you play in Give Me God of War difficulty. Yeah, you will die a lot to get used to the new enemies attacks, but once you have them figured out, it will feel extremely satisfying to beat them fast while not receiving any damage. That's the way to beat enemies actually, focus on not getting damage while also focusing on maximizing your attack power to kill enemies faster, since the faster you kill the enemies, the probability of you making a mistake over time is also less. If the builds give you the nice perks like Realm Shifts, extra strenght while in a XX% HP state, or something else, that's a bonus.
    As usual, high risk, high reward.
    The game itself in the shops allows you to select which builds are more focused on each stat, a really nice touch and QoL improvement that makes it so much easier to choose your build according to your playstyle.
    I'm currently end-game right now, but compared to how Horizon did its sequel in terms of gameplay mechanics, which IMO were very good overall, GoW was just a step ahead, while not having nearly as much "clutter" as Horizon had in terms of outfits and weapons.

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Vitor! Glad you think this is a good recommendation 😄As you mentioned, I try to make recommendations that make sense for the majority of players, but I totally agree with you that if your mechanics are really good then prioritizing strength is the smart thing to do. Best way to minimize damage is to not get hit 😉

  • @BahamutBreaker
    @BahamutBreaker Před rokem +4

    Very solid guide! I remember your Forbidden West videos - which were truly outstanding. Glad to see you have some solid content for other fun games, too! I think the best piece of advice I can offer here (to players) is to try getting accustomed to BOTH the Dauntless Shield and the Stonewall Shield. They behavior of the two shields (and the play-styles they mesh with) are very different. Being able to competently switch (in the character subscreen) between the shields, depending on the type of enemy you’re fighting, is a BIG advantage for the player, in my opinion.
    Later in the game, some enemies have very annoying attack combos that feature repeated “yellow-ring” attacks - each with *different* delay times between the yellow-ring and the actual execution of the attack. The Stonewall Shield is great in those situations, providing forgiveness if you mistime a Parry. However, in other situations, where the enemy’s yellow-ring attack timing is more predictable and manageable, the Dauntless Shield is way better.

      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem +1

    @daanduijkers4845 Před rokem +14

    Personally, I stuck with the full Nidavellir armor set all the way to the endgame!
    With the gauntlets and waist, inflicted stun damage basically never goes down! Combined with the chest armor's perk to regain health on every stun grab, this makes for an excellent tank build!
    Add enchantments that increase your stun and melee damage at high health, along with runic attacks that deal lots of stun and pommels that take advantage of stun, and you get a seriously OP build!

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem

      Nice! Yeah that sounds like a pretty sweet build if you go all in on stun. I don’t think it would quite fit my play style personally, but I’ll have to give it a try! The reduce stub drain from the Nidavellir chest and waist pieces is definitely very nice.

And when they’re high level that they feed into every single stat you have

      Good question! I actually don’t think the Risen or Darkdale stuff is particularly good (I have both). The Risen is kind of interesting, but I’d still go for the Nidavellir chest plate for sure. The darkdale chest and waist perk is pretty specific, so I don’t think it’s that useful. The Risen one gives you increased stun on airborne enemies, so if you’re good at/like to juggle enemies a lot then that can be kind of nice to combo with the Nidavellir chest piece.

      Yup I have it. I don't think the Darkdale stuff is that great compared to other gear, but it's an interesting option. Not totally irrelevant.

    Do shield bashes always interrupt enemy attacks? I think in boss fights it sometimes doesn't. It might depend on the enemy power level compared to yours.

    • @CheeseballQuartet
      @CheeseballQuartet Před rokem

      Overall I'm really confused about when my attacks can interrupt enemy attacks. It'd be great if you could figure this out and tell us in a tips video!

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem

      Good question! Yeah it’s somewhat inconsistent. I think if you get a perfect parry (shield is glowing red) you can interrupt almost anything if you time it just right, but the timing is very tight on a lot of attacks, especially red ring ones. With those I guess you’re not really interrupting it, you just stopping it before it starts. But yes, in general I think there are some attacks that’s are impossible/extremely difficult to interrupt with the shield bash.

      I’d go for the Cursed Empress, but the Undying Spark pommels are much better than either of those.

      Unfortunately, you can't get back to the pit mine where the Undying Spark Pommels are until you complete the Forging Destiny main quest I believe. If you haven't done that yet, you might want to pick up the Hardened War Handles as a holdover until you can go back. You can find those in Alfheim. I discuss them a bit more in my mid-game build video.

    (FFX) to defeat Yunalesca simply just cast auto life on all characters, have everyone do quick hits and cast holy.

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem

      You may be able to walk back out the main entrance if you haven't got too far into the mine, but if you're past a certain point you won't be able to get back to that area for a while, in which case, you might want to pick up the Hardened War Handles in Alfheim (see my mid-game build video). I beleive you need to get to the Forging Destiny main quest before you can return to get the Undying Spark Pommels, which is about halfway through the main story and much later than your first time heading into the mine.
