In a new post on the r/GodofWar subreddit, user rdtmark shared screenshots of the incredible Kratos build they created inElden Ring. Through a series of stunning screenshots, they show off their near-perfect recreation of the pale-skinned Spartan taking on some of the fiercest foes thatElden Ringhas to offer. Not content with simply making a visual facsimile of Kratos, rdtmark even chose his weapon to loadout to mirror iconic weapons like theLeviathan Axe fromGod of War. The attention to detail on the build is impeccable, with Kratos looking right at home in the deadly world of the Lands Between.
Fans of bothGod of WarandElden Ringresponding to the post were blown away by the impressive build, which left one poster so wowed that they stated they were going to reinstallElden Ringright away for another playthrough. Commenting on the Hoslow’s Petal Whips filling in for Kratos’ trademark Blades of Chaos, one impressed user noted that most people attempting a Kratos build usually stuck to the visually less-impressive magma blades. In order to provide guidance to other gamers eager to create their own Kratos inElden Ring, rdtmark helpfully responded to several posts listing out the various weapons and armor used to create the build.
Featuring a character model that looks like it was ripped straight out ofGod of War: Ragnarokand a loadout designed to emulate that game’s combat as closely as possible, this Kratos build is one of the most impressiveElden Ringcreations to date. Not only does this unique build pay tribute to one of the most iconic characters in gaming, but it does so in a decidedly less horrifying manner than the recentGod of Warmod forThe Last of Us 2.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
