- Set Bonus: Kratos’s melee damage is buffed as long as his health remains above 75%.

This is where keeping your distance and letting the enchantment do its job can save you.At the same time, this definitely isn’t a substitute for healing, as the rate at which this regenerates health is not fast enough to recover you from all incoming attacks instantly.

- Location: Obtained by completing the favor called “Conscience for the Dead”
Asgard Fortitude

Wrap Up
Before we conclude our guide, we just want to give you a heads-up on the enchantments with Set Bonus. Set bonuses are only received when you have two other enchantments of the same realm set. Otherwise, the only benefits you will gain are stats bonuses. So to enjoy the Set Bonus of, let’s say, Asgard Fortitude, make sure you have Asgard’s Might and Asgard Virtue equipped as well in order to complete the set.
You can additionally min-max the stats of Kratos by assigning different enchantments to the Amulet, according to your playstyle in God of War Ragnarok. Furthermore, there is another plethora of other highly useful enchantments hidden in the depths of the Norse pantheon, which we might’ve not even discovered, so if you find any that does a better job than the ones mentioned above, do let us know below.
