I Would Mostly Skip The Unarmed Skill Treeīack to the skill tree, even at this late stage of the game with nearly unlimited XP, I still have trouble justifying investing much in the unarmed skill tree, which is what you will use when Kratos doesn’t have his axe (meaning it’s stuck in a wall or an enemy somewhere). This can get you tens of thousands per hacksilver per selling session.Ħ.

And if you change your mind, you can always buy it back from the store, so there’s really no reason not to do it. There’s really no reason not to constantly be doing this as it’s a lot of money you’re leaving on the table, and you are probably never going to go back to most lower level gear. That reminds me, don’t forget to sell your now-unused gear for a very decent chunk of hacksilver. Don't Forget To Sell Unused Gear For Lots Of Cash Max gear level is level 8, and you will have to do almost everything in the game to get any of your armor that high.ĥ. It may take you the entire story campaign to get to this point. Instead, just buy/craft the next tier of gear until you get to level 5, then it might be worth to start upgrading for extra gem slots, as you’ll probably stick with level 5 gear for a while.

That would be anything from level 1 to level 4. From what I can tell, it’s not worth it spending valuable hacksilver on upgrading lower level gear. If you’re progressing through the game at a decent clip, you will also be moving through armor just as fast. Don't Invest Too Heavily In Upgrading Lower Level Gear

The abilities you start with are a safe bet to invest in, as I’m still using them in the endgame most of the time.Ĥ. Pick a few favorites and max them for frequent use. But the damage and utility increases are significant, so don’t forget about them. It takes a lot of XP to get most of them to max level, and even having beaten the game, I still have only maxed a scarce handful. You will find them all at level 1, and all can be upgraded to level 3. While obviously you’re going to use XP from combat and missions to upgrade your various skill trees, you might forget that you also need to use XP to upgrade “rune” abilities, ones that attach to your axe and Atreus’ bow that are special moves.
