The more hits the Stonewall Shield takes, the more kinetic energy it absorbs. Kratos can’t parry when equipped with the Stonewall, so keeping it raised is crucial to surviving barrages. Dissimilarly, the Stonewall Shield is for tank-lovers that prefer slower-paced bouts. By parrying at the last possible moment, Kratos’ shield glows a menacing red, signaling the player can unleash a devastating smash that tosses and stuns enemies. The Dauntless Shield is all about twitch reactions. Yeh walked me through the pros and cons of the new Dauntless and Stonewall Shields, occasionally reminding me that the team wanted players to tailor their gameplay to immediate needs. These elemental moves, called “Frost Awaken” and “Whiplash,” do extra damage by freezing or incinerating aggressors. Depending on whether you have the Leviathan Axe or Blades of Chaos readied, Kratos can infuse the sharpened steel with ice or fire. Triangle attacks are officially called Weapon Signature Moves. We looked at that concept and wondered, ‘What if you could do something a little bit different with that button – a whole new suite of moves.’” If you had the Blades of Chaos and you pressed Triangle, you just went back to the axe. “But if you already had the axe, nothing happened. “In the last game, if you pressed Triangle, you recalled the axe,” Sheth says. The battle axe and chain blades increase maneuverability and power, but a misleadingly small-scale change to the Triangle button makes all the difference. This adrenaline rush is tied to the versatility of Kratos’ kit. The two notice a few stragglers perched above, and in one fluid motion, the god-slayer latches onto the ridge with his Blades of Chaos, climbs the structure, stomps on a healthstone for extra flair, and launches the remaining creatures into the sky. Atreus demonstrates he’s as much a powerhouse as his father, swinging at unsuspecting Grims with his bow while always repositioning to shoot. He throws his axe at a pot tucked between boxes, and the corner instantly erupts into flames, sending scaly appendages everywhere. When a “Cursed” Grim tries to catch the bulky father off-guard, firing toxic bile from its swollen gullet, Kratos sidesteps the phlegm and masterfully deflects a second flurry with his arm shield. Atreus fills stagger bars while locking enemies in place with sonic arrows.
