Max Level Of Leviathan Axe In God Of War Ragnarok
As mentioned earlier, the Leviathan Axe starts off at level 1. But through the upgrades, you can take the Leviathan Axe all the way to a max level of 9. That might be surprising because an initial look at the skill tree might give you the misconception that level 6 is the highest level. But with the use of side quests and the main storyline, you’ll be able to upgrade to level 9 with ease.
Stats
With each level upgrade, every single weapon or armor in the game gets an increase in its stats, and that’s no different with the Leviathan Axe. Here are all of the stats of the Leviathan Axe till its max level.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 | Level 7 | Level 8 | Level 9 |

Upgrading Through Frozen Flames
Main Story Frozen Flames
You can easily get five Frozen Flames just through the story alone and reach level 6 to unlock the entire skill tree. Certain enemies and bosses drop the flames, so if you don’t want to be spoiled on what bosses wait ahead, you can skip this part as it’s unlikely that you’ll miss any of the Frozen Flames if you reach late game.
The Huntress – Surviving Fimbulwinter
Alva – Groa’s Secret
Nidhogg – The Reckoning
Hel-Traveler – Reunion
Flame Phantom – The Summoning
Side Quest Frozen Flames
Once you’ve got all of the Frozen Flames from the main story, you can try getting them through the side quests. Unfortunately, they’re not as easy to acquire as you might think because most of the enemies are quite difficult to defeat.
Berserker Gravestone Boss – Alfheim
There are two different Gravestone bosses in Alfheim; head to the one in The Barrens. It is a double boss fight against the Sisters of Illska and Svipdagr The Cold. Fight the sisters first, as they’re easier to kill, and then move on to the other boss.
However, it is recommended that you come here after you’ve got most of the other upgrades and good armor, as they can be quite challenging to beat, even with a level 5 axe.
Crimson Dread Dragon – Favour For Vanaheim
Upgrading Through Frozen Sparks
Obtain Frozen Sparks by closing Hel Tears, which is automatically accessible in the main story. Two Hel Tears are part of the main quest—one at Sindri’s place and another in Hel. Locate the remaining four tears.
When closing tears, focus on defending the individual closing it, not defeating every enemy. Endure until the tear is sealed, at which point all enemies vanish.
Svartalfheim Tear
Alfheim Tear
Vanaheim Tear
If you head to the Southern Wilds in Vanaheim, you’ll be able to find it just a few steps after the mystical gate. One of the enemies here is a traveler with armor; he can be hard to defeat, but if you just last through the time, you’ll be fine.
Midgard Tear
Head towards the Well of Urd, Northwest of the Lake of Nine. Climb upwards, past the Nornir chest, and go through the gap in the wall, and you’ll find the tear.
And remember, in case you forget to pick up any of the items while defeating bosses, then worry not. Just head back to any of the dwarfs and access the chest next to them. It’ll have all of the left-over items, including the Frozen Spark and Frozen Flames.
And with that, you know all about how to upgrade the Leviathan Axe in God of War Ragnarok and all of its stats at the max level. It definitely gets quite strong after you get every single Frozen Flame and Spark out there, allowing you to defeat even the hardest of foes.
