Tips
  • When fighting Hel-Reaver Lords without Atreus, pay more attention in battle and avoid getting surrounded.
  • The Blades of Chaos are effective for crowd control with their sweeping motions and Burn damage, scaling off the Runic stat.
  • The Rising Fury skill for the Blades of Chaos allows you to launch enemies into the air.
  • The Berserker’s Resurrection Stone at Brok's shop recovers a little health and provides a full gauge of Spartan Rage upon revival.
  • Hel-Broods are weak individually but dangerous in swarms; they attempt to grab you.
  • Hello, Old Friend achievement (upon obtaining the Blades of Chaos).
  • Spartan Charge Light Runic Attack gem.
  • Hacksilver chests.
