God of War Ragnarok pits Kratos and Atreus against countless foes, powerful beasts, and mighty gods. Fortunately, Kratos and Atreus have impressive weapons and abilities at their disposal.

Combat

Enemies in God of War all have their own unique attack abilities and weaknesses. There are also visual aids to help you in combat. When fighting an enemy, look for specific colored double circles that surround them. These are warnings of the attacks that are to come. A RED circle is a strong Unblockable Attack. In this situation, it is best to dodge out of the way quickly. If you see an attack encircled in YELLOW, these are attacks that can be countered/parried (and in some cases, blocked, if you have the right shield equipped). And if you see double BLUE circles, these are attacks that cannot be blocked, but they can be interrupted with a well-timed shield strike.
