God of War has some of the best weapons that are not only deadly but exotic in look as well. This guide will tell you all there is to know about upgrading the weapons in God of War, how to upgrade them, what is needed for each upgrade and what each upgrade will do to the weapon. So without further ado, let's start:
Leviathan Axe:
In order to upgrade the Leviathan Axe, you will need the Frozen Flames. Now you can get the 5 out of 6 frozen flames required by going through the main story of God of War. You will get each frozen flame by defeating the bosses as each boss drops a frozen flame when defeated. For the last one, you will get it if you exchange the Niflheim’s Chilling Mist for the Frozen Flame. You can do this by going through the region where you get the treasures in center chamber of the workshop in Niflheim. Once you have gotten it from the chamber, simply head towards Brok or Sindri’s shop and carry out the trade. Moreover, you will also unlock the Worthy trophy once you have collected all 6 Frozen Flames. Below is the brief description of every Leviathan Axe upgrade:
Upgrade 1:
The first upgrades come as a default with the Leviathan Axe meaning you will not have to do anything to get this upgrade; the Leviathan Axe will already have the first upgrade when you get it. At this point, the Axe has only ten strength.
Upgrade 2:
The second upgrade of the Leviathan Axe needs you to do something before you get it. You will get the second upgrade of the axe once you have escaped from the Ruins. Just head to Brok’s shop after escaping from ruins and then upgrade your Leviathan Axe to level 2. At the second upgrade, your Leviathan Axe will have 25 strength.
Upgrade 3:
You will get the third upgrade of the Leviathan Axe at your first trip to the Foothills. Once you get there, you will then need to defeat the Ogre, once you defeat him, he will drop the Frozen Flame. Get it and then head to Brok’s shop or Sindri’s to get the third upgrade. This upgrade will give you Leviathan Axe a strength of 40.
Upgrade 4:
You will have the fourth upgrade of the Leviathan Axe when you visit the Heart of the Mountain. When you are there, you will then have to defeat the Jarn Fotr, and then this boss will drop a Frozen Flame. Go ahead and take that Frozen Flame. And then you will be able to upgrade your Leviathan Axe to level 4 by heading to Brok’s or Sindri’s shop. With the upgrade 4, the Axe will have a strength of 55.
Upgrade 5:
You will get the fifth upgrade of the Leviathan Axe when you pay a visit to the Thamur’s Corpse. There, you will be faced with Magni and Modi. Now you need to defeat both Magni and Modi, and then you will get a Frozen Flame. With the Frozen Flame in your hand, go to either Brok’s shot of Sindri’s shop and then upgrade the Axe to Level 5. The fifth upgrade of the Leviathan Axe will give it an overall strength of 70.
Upgrade 6:
The sixth upgrade of the Leviathan Axe is different from the above three upgrades. For this upgrade, you will need 5000 Mist Echoes. To get these, you will need to open the Legendary Chest in the Center Chamber of Nilfheim. Once you have the Mist Echoes, head to Sindri or Brok’s shop and then upgrade the Axe to level 6. With the sixth upgrade of the Axe, it will get an overall strength of 85.
