God of War II[]

Weapons[]

  • Blades of Athena: Given to Kratos by Athena at the end of God of War, they replaced the Blades of Chaos which Ares took from Kratos in their final battle.
  • Barbarian Hammer: A slow, but powerful maul originally wielded by the Barbarian King, Alrik. Kratos could deliver powerful slams and smashes, and also summoned legions of souls.
  • Spear of Destiny: A spear originally used by the Dark Rider. Kratos could perform deadly swipes and stabs, and could also fire dangerous piercing projectiles at enemies.
  • Blade of Olympus: A divine sword so powerful that it allowed Zeus to defeat the Titans in the Titanomachy. It was also one of the only known tools (along with Pandora's Box and the Gauntlet of Zeus) that had the power to harm and kill other Gods. The weapon could be powered up with experience Orbs to increase its power and add new attacks. However, the Blade of Olympus, normally a weapon that was provided solely by plot developments, could only be used during the fight with the Colossus of Rhodes, fighting Zeus in the last battle of the game, and Bonus Play.

Magic[]

  • Poseidon's Rage: A magic from God of War. Kratos used it in the first part of the game (at Rhodes), but lost it upon sacrificing his godly powers. However, Kratos could use such magic during Bonus Play if the Urn of Poseidon was unlocked and used. The urn switched Cronos' Rage with Poseidon's Rage.
  • Typhon's Bane: A magical aerokinetic bow that allowed Kratos to fire rapid blasts of air.
  • Cronos' Rage: An attack that used electricity to strike multiple targets via orbs of lightning. Higher levels spread further, attacked more targets, and even created an explosion at the end of its duration.
  • Head of Euryale: The severed head of Euryale, which could be used to turn enemies to stone (similar to Medusa's Gaze from God of War, however, it was powerful enough to turn other Gorgons to stone).
  • Atlas Quake: A radial ground-pounding attack in which Kratos summoned strong earthquakes to smite opponents.

Relics[]

  • Poseidon's Trident: Kratos continued to use that item in God of War II. Allowed Kratos to swim, dive, and breathe underwater infinitely.
  • Rage of the Titans: Gained from Prometheus, and was similar to Rage of the Gods from God of War. This power could only be activated initially when a meter was filled either due to Kratos taking damage or collecting gold orbs. Activating the power increased Kratos' attack power for a short time and also allowed him to take less damage from enemy attacks. Kratos was able to activate and deactivate Rage of the Titans whenever he wished unlike Rage of the Gods which had to be fully charged and then could only be fully drained.
  • Amulet of the Fates: Allowed Kratos to slow down time when he was close to a Fates Statue.
  • Golden Fleece: A golden armlet which Kratos could use to reflect attacks and projectiles back at their sender.
  • Icarus Wings: A pair of feathered wings that Kratos took from Icarus. With them, he could glide short distances while jumping and floating on air currents.

Urns of Power[]

  • Urn of Gaia: Collected 10 times the amount of red orbs.
  • Urn of the Gorgons: Gave weapons the power to turn enemies into stone.
  • Urn of Olympus: Granted Infinite Magic.
  • Urn of Prometheus: Granted Infinite Rage of the Titans.
  • Urn of the Fates: Extended Combo Timer by 3 seconds.
  • Urn of Poseidon: Replaced Cronos' Rage with Poseidon's Rage.

God of War III[]

Weapons[]

  • Blades of Athena: Given to Kratos by Athena at the end of God of War. Kratos used them for the first portion of the game, however, like in the previous games, they were soon replaced by the Blades of Exile.
  • Blade of Olympus: A divine sword so powerful that it allowed Zeus to defeat the Titans in the Titanomachy. In God of War III, however, the Blade of Olympus, normally a weapon that was provided solely by plot developments, could only be used as part of the Blades of Athena's Divine Reckoning and Rage of Sparta.
  • Blades of Exile: A weapon similar to the Blades of Chaos and Blades of Athena from the previous games. After the Blades of Athena became dulled when Kratos fell into the River Styx, Athena gave them to Kratos in order to regain his trust.
  • Claws of Hades: Kratos obtained that weapon from Hades during their fight. Their fighting style was similar to the Blades of Exile, but the moves were executed slower.
  • Nemean Cestus: A pair of powerful gauntlets originally wielded by Hercules. They were chained gauntlets that resembled lion heads. Kratos could execute impressive combos, yet slow ones compared to his other weapons. They were the only weapons with the ability to break Onyx, which made them one of the most useful weapons of the game.
  • Nemesis Whip: A weapon given to Kratos by Hephaestus after Kratos gave him the Omphalos Stone. They were a pair of triple blades that were chained together. Hephestus gave it the power to project electricity.

Magic[]

  • Divine Reckoning: The Magic of Athena's Blades, where Kratos summoned a whirling vortex with the Blade of Olympus.
  • Army of Sparta: The magic of the Blades of Exile, where Kratos called forth the spears and shields of Kratos' exiled Spartan brothers that protected him and damaged his foes. Higher levels also attacked enemies with arrow rain.
  • Soul Summon: The power of the Claws of Hades, which summoned the souls of various monsters to aid Kratos in battle. More levels increased the range of souls that Kratos could choose from.
  • Nemean Roar: A powerful shockwave that was created by the Nemean Cestus.
  • Nemesis Rage: Kratos shocked surrounding enemies with a blast of energy that was released from the Nemesis Whip and was similar to Cronos' Rage.

Relics[]

  • Poseidon's Trident: Granted Kratos the ability to breathe underwater.
  • Golden Fleece: Armor that was capable of deflecting weapon attacks and magic.
  • Icarus Wings: Wings stolen from Icarus in battle, granted Kratos the ability to fly.
  • Rage of Sparta: A new Rage Mode, granted Kratos temporal invincibility and damage buff wielding the Blade of Olympus.
  • Bow of Apollo: The first item that Kratos acquired in God of War III. He obtained it after he killed Peirithous, the Mortal lover of Persephone, who was imprisoned in the Underworld by Hades and condemned to spend all eternity trapped within a cage of brambles. That item was similar to Typhon's Bane, except that it used the elemental power of fire instead of wind.
  • Head of Helios: The decapitated head of Helios was the second item obtained in God of War III. Kratos acquired that item after he met with an injured Helios, and, after a brief tussle of words, Kratos ruthlessly ripped his head off his shoulders. The beam held the power to reveal secrets, such as hidden doors and chests. When the beam shined on enemies, it temporarily blinded them. The item was very useful in dark areas and functioned as a sort of flashlight/lantern.
  • Boots of Hermes: Were depicted as greaves with burning red wings on them. Kratos mercilessly amputated them out of the legs of their owner; Hermes. Those greaves allowed Kratos to make a short dash forward, rammed through enemies and threw them aside, as well as gave him the ability to run alongside walls that were marked with shining and golden bootprints.

Godly Possessions[]

God of War (2018)[]

Weapons[]

  • Leviathan Axe: Given to Kratos by his second wife Faye, it was originally her axe until her death when she decided to give it to him. It was crafted by the two dwarves, Brok and Sindri.
  • Guardian Shield: Given to Kratos by Faye, this retractable shield is used to parry and block enemy attacks and can also be used offensively in combination with the Blades of Chaos and Kratos' fists.

After Atreus falls deathly ill due to his true godly nature conflicting within himself, Kratos returns home to fetch these accursed blades in order to find the cure in Helheim.
