Besides the usual support Kratos receives during combat in God of War Ragnarok, he is also able to use special skills for each of the three weapons he possesses. By collecting and using Light Runic or Heavy Runic attacks, Kratos will have a chance to either stun the enemy or inflict massive elemental damage according to the wielded weapon.
Just like any weapon in God of War Ragnarok, the Leviathan Axe has Light Runic attacks and Heavy Runic attacks. The latter usually causes more powerful damage or stun than the former. These attacks are either obtained by completing quests from The Path or while doing a Favor.
All Leviathan Axe Heavy Runic Attacks Location in God Of War Ragnarok
The Leviathan Axe's special skills can be found in many Realms in God of war Ragnarok, usually inside a Legendary chest. The weapon also has the same amount of Heavy Runic attacks as its Light Runic attacks, which is five. Here's every location for the Heavy Runic attacks:
- Fog of Fimbulwinter in Svartalfheim
- Mists of Helheim in Vanaheim
- Leviathan's Roar in Vanaheim
- Breath of Thamur in Niflheim
- Ivaldis Anvil in Midgard
Unfortunately, one of the Runic attacks is related to a very lengthy Favor in God of War Ragnarok.
Fog Of Fimbulwinter In Svartalfheim
Description | Upgrades |
|---|---|
A massive ice wave that inflicts frost damage and freezes enemies in its path. |
|
While exploring the Myrkr Tunnels in the Forging Destiny chapter, a Legendary Chest will be guarded by some red flowers. Simply shoot a Sigil Arrow and use the Blades of Chaos to ignite them. Be careful of the huge explosive barrel next to it.
Mists Of Helheim In Vanaheim
Description | Upgrades |
|---|---|
A lingering area-of-effect attack that creates a small hazard, inflicting Frost status to all enemies inside. |
|
The Mists of Helheim can be obtained after completing The Reckoning chapter in God of War Ragnarok. However, it can only be reached by following a specific path starting from Cliffside Ruins. It’s also possible to trigger Conscience for the Dead Favor for easier navigation. To get the Runic attack, follow the steps below:
- Jump across the platforms and get closer to the chain.
- Connect the Sigil Arrows with the red flowers to release it.
- Climb it and activate the seal to open up a path south.
- Use the boat to go south, but instead of going to Goddess Falls, head east into the narrow river to unlock a hidden area.
- Explore the cave until a chain that leads downwards appears.
- Get down and approach the golden rocks.
- Shoot the Sigil arrows to connect them with explosive barrels.
- Leap down to the lower platform and remove the rocks blocking the Legendary Chest.
The chest contains the Mists of Helheim Heavy Runic attack. Goddess Falls is also where Freya’s Missing Peace Favor will take place.
Leviathan's Roar In Vanaheim
Description | Upgrades |
|---|---|
A powerful axe throw that returns with devastating impact. Kratos is fully protected while shielding. |
|
East of Freyr’s Camp where players once fought two Drekis, look northwest and use the Draupnir Spear in God of War Ragnarok to make the wall climbable. Go up then proceed southeast and climb another edge until players reach the Legendary Chest.
Breath Of Thamur In Niflheim
Description | Upgrades |
|---|---|
A massive area-of-effect attack that deals damage to all enemies within an extremely large area |
|
Breath of Thamur is arguably the strongest Heavy Runic attack in God of War Ragnarok. Sadly, it requires a bit of work since players must follow Odin’s Raven Favor and collect 28 Ravens to open the Legendary Chest containing the Runic attack in Niflheim.
Ivaldis Anvil In Midgard
Description | Upgrades |
|---|---|
A staggering area-of-effect attack that deals Frost status to all nearby enemies. |
|
During The Word of Fate quest in God of War Ragnarok, it is possible to find Ivaldis Anvil Heavy Runic Attack. After fending off a couple of enemies in The Derelict Outpost, head west and enter a door. Break the icicles, leap down, pull the chains, rotate the mechanism, get back up, and swing to the other side. From here, leap up and open the Legendary Chest to obtain the Ivaldis Anvil Heavy Runic Attack.
God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
