– Official Description

Ivaldi's Anvil is a Heavy Runic Attack for the Leviathan Axe in God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök.

In God of War (2018)[]

Description[]

Ivaldi's Anvil is a Heavy Runic Attack for the Leviathan Axe, which can be activated by pressing PS4 L1 + PS4 R2 together. When activated, Kratos will jump in the air while turning the axe upside-down, before slamming back down with a frosty AOE blast, damaging and freezing enemies. Upgrades increase the radius and frost damage of the attack, and allow Kratos to follow-up by pulling the axe back out, sending shards of ice flying in all directions.

Acquisition[]

Ivaldi's Anvil can be obtained early in the game, by defeating and collecting it from the troll Brenna Dauði. It is the earliest Heavy Runic Attack Kratos can obtain for the Leviathan Axe.
