God of War has a lot of armor and the Zeus Armor is the best. It’s probably the best equipment in the game in terms of the power it provides Kratos. Unlike the usual armor, the Zeus Armor increases the damage Kratos takes from enemies, but it can also increase the damage he inflicts on foes. Getting your hands on the armor is no easy feat though, you have to be a veteran player and ambitious enough to go after this armor. Here is how to unlock the Zeus Armor in God of War.
How to Unlock the Zeus Armor in God of War
The Zeus Armor consists of three items that form the entire armor – The Cuirass of Zeus, The War Belt of Zeus, and The Gauntlets of Zeus. The Cuirass of Zeus is the most important element of the armor when we consider the stats, but the other items have their own advantages and cannot be overlooked.
To get the Zeus Armor, you need to play the game in “Give Me God of War” difficulty in your second run in New Game Plus. Put plainly, you need to complete the game once and then start a New Game Plus with the above-mentioned difficulty and defeat all the Valkyries and the Queen. Once you have defeated the foes, you will come to acquire the three items in the Zeus Armor set.

Once you have the three items, you have acquired the Zeus Armor. The Cuirass of Zeus can only be obtained after you have defeated the queen. The Gauntlets of Zeus can be obtained by defeating the Valkyrie in Muspelheim.
Playing at the “Give Me God of War” difficulty is no easy task and not meant for casual gamers. Also, the armor may not suit everyone’s playing style. While the armor does increase the already high offensive ability of Kratos, it comes at the cost of his defense. You will take more damage on every hit.
