How to Unlock Heavy Runic Attacks in God of War: Ragnarok

When you first begin playing the game, you’ll be able to use Light Runic Attacks right away. However, unlocking Heavy Runic Attacks will take a bit more work. Though, just light Light Runic Attacks, Heavy Runic Attacks can be unlocked through your story progression. Going into the game believing that you will be able to unlock Heavy Runic Attacks Early on will likely leave you disappointed since you won’t have access to it until you’ve made it a decent amount of the way through the story.

Typically, you can be awarded Heavy Runic Attacks by defeating story related high-level bosses you will encounter. Aside from that, you can find them in the wild, but they are rare. Though, if you are going to try to find them rather than collect them on your way through the story, there is a place to do that in Legendary Chests. Legendary Chests can be found all over the place in God of War: Ragnarok, but they are also pretty easy to miss. This is because they have such amazing and powerful rewards within them. Making them easy to find would make the game itself too easy to play.

How many Heavy Runic Attacks are in God of War: Ragnarok?

Altogether there are 14 different Heavy Runic Attacks that you can acquire. These Heavy Runic Attacks are split up between the Draupnir, the Leviathan Axe, and the Blades of Chaos. Though, all of them can be found in Legendary chests, with the exception of very few of them.

Can you Upgrade Heavy Runic Attacks in God of War: Ragnarok?

Since you can upgrade Light Runic Attacks, it only makes sense that you could also upgrade Heavy Runic Attacks. However, rather than using the typical Upgrade Resources, Heavy Runic Attacks can be upgraded using Experience Points.
