| “ | Armour crafted in the spirit of the Berserker Souls who fought for their king in both life and death. | ” |
–In-Game Description | ||
The Berserker Set is an armor set found in God of War Ragnarök.
The armor set pieces are obtained by visiting, initiating and finishing fights at different Berserker Gravestones throughout the Nine Realms, while completing the Favor "Fit for a King" for Mimir.
The Berserker Cuirass comes with the perk "Soulless Warrior," which temporarily turns Kratos into a glass cannon, whenever he uses a Relic. The player can collect it upon defeating Svipdagr the Cold and the Sisters of Illska, in The Barrens of Alfheim. This is perhaps the hardest of the three pieces to obtain, due to the battle with the trio being notoriously difficult.
The Berserker Gauntlets come with the perk "Soulless Assault," which has a moderate chance to cause explosive damage and restore Relic Cooldown on any successful hit against an enemy. The player can collect them upon defeating Skjóthendi the Unerring, in the Mist Fields of Niflheim. The player can only visit this area upon entering the post-game.
And finally, the Berserker Waist Guard comes with the perk "Soulless Rebuke," which has a low chance to cause explosive damage and restore Relic Cooldown when taking damage, blocking or parrying. The player can collect it upon defeating Frækni the Zealous, at the Lake of Nine in Midgard. This will likely be the first armor piece you can obtain, since you can find the corresponding gravestone shortly after collecting the Inert Hilt of Skofnung.
