Unleashing Kratos' Godly Powers: The Game-Breaking Bug in God of War Ragnarok
God of War Ragnarok players encounter a surprising bug as Kratos seemingly defies the game's physics and clips through level geometry, providing an unintended advantage Sony Santa Monica Studio is yet to address the issue
During gameplay in God of War Ragnarok, players have discovered some unexpected bugs despite the game's overall high level of polish. One player shared a clip of Kratos, the game's main character, clipping through a wall, suggesting that he has the ability to use wall hacks. Another player shared a hilarious glitch that shows Kratos refusing to die. Despite these bugs, the game has been a critical and commercial success for Santa Monica Studio, continuing Kratos' story three years after the events of the previous game. To avoid long wait times between releases, the developer is already hiring for the sequel.
A Redditor by the name of Brilliant-Quit-9254 recently posted a video clip on the r/GodofWar subreddit showcasing a glitch that seems to allow Kratos to phase through solid objects. The clip, titled "Kratos has unlocked a new ability: Wall Hack," shows Kratos navigating through the dark and eerie realm of Helheim when an interaction icon appears on the other side of a wall. Upon hitting the button prompt, Kratos simply walks through the wall and lands comfortably on the other side, thanks to the unusual glitch.
The post garnered many responses from amused Redditors, with some wondering if the glitch could be helpful to speedrunners in the future. Interestingly, two users stated that they had encountered a similar bug in the game's Muselheim area, suggesting that it may be more widespread than initially thought. Some even speculated that the release of the New Game+ patch for God of War Ragnarok may have introduced the glitch, as they have noticed an increase in bugs since the patch's release.
Fortunately, this unique bug discovered by Brilliant-Quit-9254 in God of War Ragnarok is not as frustrating as others and simply saves them from a lengthy walk. In contrast, another player recently shared a clip of Kratos falling endlessly into an abyss due to a similar clipping issue. God of War Ragnarok can be played on both PS4 and PS5.
