There are 32 collectible Armor Sets in God of War Ragnarok, of which 21 Armor Sets belong to Kratos and the remaining 11 to Atreus and his other companions. All Armor Sets can be obtained after completing a certain storyline progression and are hard to miss in God of War Ragnarok. If players do miss out on some during the storyline, there's always the option to re-visit the location later while in free roam.
The Enlightenment Armor set is one of the most balanced in the early stages of God of War Ragnarok. This particular Armor set offers a healthy mix of Strength, Defense, and Runic Attack cooldown boost. Read on to learn how to unlock Kratos’ Enlightenment Armor set, where to craft it, and other details:
How to unlock the Enlightenment Armor set available in God of War Ragnarok?
The Enlightenment Armor Set is made up of three different components. These are the Spaulders of Enlightenment, Bracers of Enlightenment, and the Belt of Enlightenment.
All of these components can be crafted to complete the Enlightenment Armor set at Sindri’s Workshop in exchange for 7400 Hacksilvers.
