You unlock it in the mid-game, but that’s because it’s too Overpowered for the early game. You can upgrade the armor to the point that its stats will make you unstoppable. Its perks gain you extra damage and also the ability to restore the cooldown of runic attacks on your weapons.

Now unlike most Armor in the game, which are quite flashy and cool looking, the Spiritual Armor is more for the simple player. It has a basic leather design that gets a pretty decent look once you upgrade it to Max. But it’s nothing special in the look department. However, you should not judge a book by its cover, as you would be a fool to underestimate the true powers of the Armor.

The Spiritual Armor Set is a great Mid game Armor and can be crafted while doing “The Reckoning” quest. The Reckoning quest is the Sixth Main Quest in the storyline of God Of War Ragnarok. Spiritual Armor has Pretty Decent Stats and even better Perks. As you upgrade the Armor, it gets stronger and More Durable and is even valuable in the Late Game fights.

Strength, defense, and cooldown stats are well-represented in the spiritual armor set, and each of its armor parts’ stats can be improved by upgrading the Armor. According to the in-game description, it grants the wearer maximum breathability, boosting their cooldown metrics. The Spiritual Armor is quite balanced, and its stats and perks speak for themselves. 

Spiritual Shoulder Straps

Let’s start with the Strongest Piece of Armor, the Spiritual Shoulder Straps. The is already on level 4 when you craft it for the first time, so that gives it better stats as well for a Mid-Game Armor. The Shoulder Straps of the Spiritual Armor in God of War Ragnarok give you increased Strenght, Defence, and Cooldown. 

The base stats of the Armor at level 4 are 28 strength, 22 Defense, and 28 Cooldown. Though the strength may look a little low, it covers it up with the increased Defense and Cooldown. Also, all of these stats are improvable by simply upgrading the Armor. 

The Shoulder Straps also have a pretty powerful attack which makes up for the lack of strength in the Stats. The perk of the Spiritual Armor Should Strap in God of War Ragnorak is called “Arcane Strenght”. Arcane strength allows you to stack your Runic and Relics attacks and increase their damage but 15 percent per stack. The stacks have a maximum limit of 3 times. So your attacks can go up to 45 percent of increased damage.  

Spiritual Wraps And Spiritual Belt

The Spiritual belt is quite similar to the Wraps and has the same base stats of 32 strength and 18 Cooldown. They go hand in hand and also make the Shoulder Straps stronger.
