God of War is one of many such games that requires players to chase after strong items in order to foster a more powerful character. One of these strong item sets is the Zeus armor, which makes God of War's Kratos much more dangerous, though the extra power does come with a cost.
The Zeus armor can increase the amount of damage that Kratos inflicts upon his enemies, but it will also increase the amount of damage that he himself takes from his foes. This can be a great strength for expert God of War players. Kratos is already very powerful, and the armor can make him even more so. And, indeed, players have to be masters of God of War in order to get the Zeus armor in the first place, so increased damage from sources may not be something to worry about. Either way, the armor is extremely powerful and effective.
How to Get the Zeus Armor Set in God of War
The Zeus armor set can be acquired by playing through God of War on "Give Me God of War" difficulty in New Game Plus. This is not an easy task. It can be truly challenging for even the most seasoned players. After all, many of the Norse figures in God of War are literally gods. The Zeus armor comes from defeating each of the Valkyries and the Queen, which will lead to the acquisition of The Cuirass of Zeus, The Gauntlets of Zeus, and The War Belt of Zeus.
At its most basic, The Cuirass of Zeus is the most powerful item in the armor set. Its statistics start at 40 for strength, runic, and defense. The other items in the set aren't quite as strong, but are still admirable. And now, as God of War becomes available for PC players soon, more people than ever will have the ability to pursue these legendary items. Together, they form a set that is strong and effective.
God of War has created a compelling narrative and continued to push challenging gameplay experiences. And, though New Game Plus wasn't originally in God of War, the free addition has allowed players to get more involved in Kratos' journey. Of the content available in New Game Plus, the Zeus armor set certainly represents some of the most compelling gear. For players who want to take on a new part of God of War and challenge themselves to complete on a strenuous task, aquiring the Zeus armor is a must.
God of War is available now on PS4 and PS5 and will be available on PC on January 14, 2022.
