Breaking the Enemy Guard in God of War Ragnarok

The key component to breaking an enemy’s guard in God of War Ragnarok lies in the use of your shield, whichever variant you happen to be using. To execute a Shield Break, simply tap L1 twice in quick succession to use your trusty shield as a weapon with plenty of blunt force.

This will cause enemies holding shields or guarding to stumble, and open themselves up for the true hurt that Kratos can unleash on them. This applies to normal enemies, as well as those that will try to hit you with blue circle attacks. In fact, the only way to counter those attacks is to use the Shield Break.

Once you have added this move to your arsenal, you will have less to worry about when enemies come bearing shields. For those that do not even have the decency to protect themselves, it is time to show that how hard a shield can hit at the hands of the God of War.

And that is everything to know about how to save your game in God of War Ragnarok. For more help about the game, be sure to check out our guides on how to sprint, who the voice actors are, and how to upgrade your weapons. Feel free to also peruse the related content below.
