5. Brok’s Royal Dwarven Set

Stats: 

  • Breastplate LVL 7: 
  • 33 Strength,
  • 71 Defense,
  • 10 Luck,
  • 3 Sockets

Brok’s Royal Dwarven Gauntlet LVL 7:

  • 24 Strength,
  • 53 Defense,
  • 8 Luck,
  • 3 Sockets

Brok’s Royal Dwarven Waist Guard LVL 7:

  • 24 Strength,
  • 53 Defense,
  • 8 Luck,
  • 3 Sockets

Sindri's armor can only be leveled up to level 7 during a typical playthrough, in contrast to some of the other Legendary armor sets in God of War. But, players shouldn't be misled because despite its level, it can compete with many of the game's most difficult foes thanks to its tremendous endurance and awesome passive benefits. 

This armor is ideal for those whose fighting style heavily utilized Kratos' Runic powers because it has significant benefits to Runic and Cooldown as well as a high Defense stat. Even better, while Kratos is using Runic attacks, the Arcane Protective Barrier perk on the chest plate has the potential to completely block all damage. 

Hail to the King, the game's final Draven Favor side quest, must first be finished for players to be able to create Brok's Royal Dwarven armor set. They will then have the materials and the recipe necessary to make one of the two Royal Dwarven sets. Once you've made one of them, you may make the other one with simply Hacksilver.

 

4. Ivaldi’s Deadly Mist

Stats:

Ivaldi’s Breastplate of Deadly Mist LVL 8:

  • 26 Strength
  • 21 Runic
  • 50 Defense
  • 15 Vitality
  • 3 Sockets

Ivaldi’s Gauntlets of Deadly Mist LVL 8:

  • 26 Strength
  • 21 Runic
  • 50 Defense
  • 15 Vitality
  • 3 Sockets

Ivaldi’s War Belt of Deadly Mist LVL 8:

  • 26 Strength
  • 21 Runic
  • 50 Defense
  • 15 Vitality
  • 3 Sockets

The best armor outside of those that are exclusive to New Game Plus mode is probably Ivaldi's Deadly Mist set. After fully upgraded, it offers 50 vitality, 168 defense, 68 runic, 85 strength, and the well-known Regenerating Essence perk, which continuously heals Kratos.  

The Deadly Mist set is typically chosen over Ivaldi's other armor since its stats are arguably the most evenly distributed, making it suitable for use by any build. Although one may argue that a different piece of armor would be more appropriate for a particular build, this one works for all of them. 

Ivaldi's Rusted Armor must be obtained from the workshop in the optional realm of Niflheim in order for players to build the Ivaldi's Deadly Mist armor set. They can then use the materials they find in the maze to create a set of Mist armor once they have it. The maze has the supplies required to upgrade the armor as well.

 

3. Ivaldi’s Endless Mist

Stats: 

  • Ivaldi’s Breastplate of Endless Mist LVL 8:
  • 22 Strength
  • 68 Defense
  • 31 Vitality
  • 3 Sockets

Ivaldi’s Gauntlets of Endless Mist LVL 7:

  • 16 Strength,
  • 48 Defense,
  • 21 Vitality,
  • 3 Sockets

Ivaldi’s War Belt of Endless Mist LVL 7:

  • 16 Strength,
  • 48 Defense,
  • 21 Vitality,
  • 3 Sockets 

Ivaldi's Endless Mist is the second-best version of the Mist armor set but the best offensive out of the three. A full set gives 137 Strength, 250 Defense, and 176 Vitality at level 9, making it absurdly durable. The armor provides the same immensely helpful health restoration as other Mist armor sets, and it works best for simple fighting builds.  

The lack of benefits to Runic abilities is the only thing holding it back. After all, Kratos can become nearly invincible and be able to deal devastating damage nearing the game's conclusion if he uses his runic skills well. Sadly, the Endless Mist armor doesn't offer any further perks for it.

Ivaldi's Rusted Armor must be obtained from the workshop in the optional realm of Niflheim in order for players to build the Ivaldi's Endless Mist armor set. They can then use the materials they find in the maze to create a set of Mist armor once they have it. The maze has the supplies needed for upgrading the armor also.

 

2. Armor of Ares

Stats:

  • Cuirass of Ares LVL 9:
  • Strength: 55
  • Defense: 80
  • Luck: 30
  • Cooldown: 40

Gauntlets of Ares LVL 9:

  • Strength: 41
  • Defense: 60
  • Luck: 23
  • Cooldown: 30

War Belt of Ares LVL 9:

  • Strength: 41
  • Defense: 60
  • Luck: 23
  • Cooldown: 30 

Ares' armor grants up to 137 Strength, 200 Defense, 76 Luck, and 100 Cooldown for those who desire to be the true God of War. Those statistics should be plenty to persuade players to complete the game's New Game Plus mode in order to get it, but its benefits are where it truly excels.  

Rage Field significantly accelerates both the rate at which Rage is gained and the rate at which it is lost. Nevertheless, there is a trade-off because if players choose to wear this armor, they will have to give up some of their Rage bar. 

Players must defeat the dragon Hraezlyr in order to build the Armor of Ares in New Game Plus mode. It takes a lot of Hacksilver and Skap Slag, two rare materials that are dropped by specific opponents or discovered in chests in New Game Plus mode, to craft and upgrade the set.

 

1. Armor of Zeus

Stats:

  • Cuirass of Zeus LVL 9:
  • Strength: 60
  • Runic: 60
  • Defense: 60

Gauntlets of Zeus LVL 9:

  • Strength: 45
  • Runic: 45
  • Defense: 45

War Belt of Zeus LVL 9:

  • Strength: 45
  • Runic: 45
  • Defense: 45 

Many people believe that the armor that Kratos' father originally wore is the best in the entire game. Boasting stats of 145 for Strength, Defense, and Runic, as well as a perk that dramatically amplifies the power of Kratos' standard attacks, this armor is no joke and a more than deserving reward for those who work to get it.  

Although the Zeus set's bonus increases the damage that foes do to Kratos, making him somewhat of a glass cannon, Kratos can rip through enemies while rocking it. Based on their preferred playstyle, players may be better suited choosing a different set or combining sets to achieve the right balance. 

In the New Game Plus mode, three of the Valkyries must be eliminated in order to gain the Armor of Zeus set. The rare ingredients Hacksilver and Skap Slag, which are needed to upgrade the set in New Game Plus mode, can be found in chests or dropped by specific foes. 

Cuirass of Zeus: Defeat Sigrun in Midgard

Gauntlets of Zeus: Defeat Gondul in Muspelheim

War Belt of Zeus: Defeat Hildr in Niflheim
