–In-Game Description | ||
The Guiding Light Set is an armor set found in God of War Ragnarök.
The armor pieces can be found during the course of the Guiding Light Favor, which can be started by finding one of the pieces. The gauntlets can be found to the northwest of Týr's Temple, around the back of Sindri's shop. The breastplate can be found inside the helmet from Týr's statue on the Lake of Nine. Finally, the waist guard can be found beneath the Hel Bramble, near the Oarsmen, in the area Atreus ventured through earlier in the game.
When worn, the Breastplate of Guiding Light grants Kratos the Weapon Blessing perk, which has a Moderate Luck chance on any hit to increase the Strength, Runic, and Luck of Kratos' weapon. The gauntlets and waist guard each grant the Fortune's Strike perk, which makes melee attacks have a Luck chance to critically strike, resulting in an explosion.

Trivia[]
- This armor set originally appeared in God of War (2018) as Týr's Lost Unity Armor, and is the only one making a return from said game. However, there are a few differences in crafting and gameplay between each appearance.
- In God of War (2018), the armor could only be crafted after completing the favors "Dead Freight," "Hammer Fall" and "Anatomy of Hope." Once these favors were completed, players were rewarded with Offerings to Týr, ingredients required to craft the armor at Brok and Sindri's shops. When worn, the armor would boost all stats, and each piece had a chance to grant a Gift of Strength/Defence or a Blessing of Runic when damage was taken.
- In God of War Ragnarök, the armor is instead found scattered across the frozen Lake of Nine, as part of the Guiding Light favor. When worn, the armor provides massive boosts to Strength, Defence and Luck. This time, the chest armor has a chance to empower the Strength, Runic and Luck of his currently wielded weapon, while the gauntlets and waist armor have a chance for Kratos' weapons to strike with explosive hits.
- Týr is seen wearing the Guiding Light Set in God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla during his second encounter with Kratos.
