For more information on New Game Plus, including what you keep from a previous playthrough, visit the main New Game Plus Mode page.

Game Start
These are the pieces of Equipment that are unlocked right from the beginning of the game. As a reminder, you won't be able to adjust Kratos' equipment until you complete the dream level and discover Atreus is missing.
| Set Name | Item Name | Cost | Power Level | Stats | Perk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Bear Armor Set | Cloak of the Black Bear | N/A | Level 7 | Strength: 62 Defense: 62 Cooldown: 21 | Shadow Step: Increases immunity duration while evading, and last-second evades fire a volley of Bifrost shards. |

| Belt of the Black Bear | N/A | Level 7 | Strength: 13 Defense: 65 Cooldown: 13 |
It's also worth pointing out that in addition to the Draupnir Spear, Kratos will start with the Blades of Chaos. In a normal playthrough, the Blades aren't accessible until after Kratos returns from the fight with Thor.
If you completed the free Valhalla DLC, you'll also have unlocked a new general appearance. You can switch to it by pressing R3 while in the Weapons or Armor menus.
Sindri's House
These items are only available once you've completed the "Surviving Fimbulwinter" Path Quest and arrived at Sindri's House, giving you access to the Dwarven Shop again.
In addition to the equipment detailed further below, you can now upgrade any of your Level 9 equipment to Power Levels 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 10. This includes Weapons, Shields, Attachments and Armor.

Shop Resource Expansion
The Resources section of the shop has now been expanded far beyond Resurrection Stones, allowing you to buy many upgrade Resources to help you get your equipment up to Power Level 9. This includes Resources that were previously available in limited amounts, including the Vanaheim Crystals and Asgardian Remnants.
Three more Resources are added to the shop after you complete the "Creatures of Prophecy" Path Quest, and seven more after you complete the story and enter the post-game. These have been listed up here for completion's sake.

Enchantments
This first set of Enchantments all have perks based on ones used for Chest Armor (Engravings) and Shield Ronds (Badges), and then slotted into Kratos' Amulet of Yggdrasil. They are bought using Gilded Coins, which are awarded for upgrading your gear beyond Level 9 for the first time.
First up are Badges, based on Rond Perks. A Badge's Perk will not stack if Kratos is also using the Rond that the Badge gets its Perk from.
| Badge Enchantment | ||
|---|---|---|

| Badge of Disruption | Gilded Coins: 3 | Elemental Storm: Low Luck chance to create an Elemental Storm when interruption double blue ring attacks (Double Tap L1) or Parrying). Does not stack with the Rond of Disruption. |

Next are Engravings, based on Chest Armor Perks. As with Badges, an Engraving's Perk will not stack if Kratos also uses the Armor that the Engraving gets its Perk from.
Additionally, some of these require Kratos to meet a specific minimum Stat value before the Perk will activate.
| Engraving Enchantments | |||

| Steinbjorn Engraving | Gilded Coins: 5 | 650 Defense | Bloodthirsty Retaliation: After significant damage is taken, Kratos' attacks will restore some lost Health for a time. Does not stack with the Steinbjorn Plackart. |
Lastly we have the Burden Enchantments. These cost Hacksilver to buy, and will apply a negative debuff to Kratos rather than a positive one. There are nine of these, meaning it's possible to have all of them slotted into the Amulet at the same time (!!)

| Burden of Stun | Hacksilver: 10,000 | Disrupted Stun: Reduces Stun damage. |
Armor Appearances
Finally there are the Armor Appearances. These are cosmetics that you can purchase for Hacksilver, then apply to any piece of armor at Power Level 9 or higher using the Transmogrification system.

Berserker Enchantments
When you defeat a Berserker who you already defeated in a previous playthrough, they'll drop new, exclusive Enchantments that focus purely on increasing Kratos' core stats.
It's worth noting that King Hrolf Kraki does not drop an Enchantment. Instead, he drops the Flawless Berserker Armor cosmetics, detailed below.

New Game Plus Muspelheim Rewards
The return to Muspelheim means new rewards are given for completing The Crucible Trials and The Final Challenges. This section lists them so that you know what to expect, and which of The Final Challenges you should grind.
Unfortunately, outside of the Primal Flame in the Nornir Chest, the Muspelheim arenas do NOT reward any of the New Game Plus Resources, so you'll have to get them elsewhere.

Post-Creatures of Prophecy Shop Expansion
Once you've completed the "Creatures of Prophecy" Path Quest, you unlock the ability to buy the following Resources from the Dwarven Shops for upgrading your New Game + Equipment:
- Dust of Realms - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Whispering Slabs - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Bonded Leather - 5,000 Hacksilver
Post-Game
These items are only available after you've finished the main story by completing "The Realms at War" Path Quest.
This section is a Work in Progress, and will be added to as we learn more about these additions.
Post-Game Shop Expansion
advertisement
Similar to after clearing Creatures of Prophecy, the Dwarven Shops get yet another expansion in the post-game, this time allowing you to freely purchase four of the New Game Plus-exclusive Resources, and the Embers normally obtained from the Muspelheim arenas:
- Skap Slag - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Smouldering Embers - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Blazing Embers - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Glowing Embers - 5,000 Hacksilver
- Mountain Root - 100,000 Hacksilver
- Celestial Fossil - 100,000 Hacksilver
- Forsaken Break - 100,000 Hacksilver
Flawless Berserker Armor Cosmetics
After you've defeated King Hrolf Kraki, you unlock the Flawless Berserker Armor Appearances. Rather than a real set of armor, this set is only an Appearance, and is a golden version of the original Berserker Armor with even more glowing parts.
You can equip these to any gear that is Power Level 9 or higher using the Transmogrification system.
Zeus Armor
The Zeus Armor is unlocked by defeating Gna the Valkyrie Queen, and clearing your fourth and sixth Remnants of Asgard (both in New Game +, of course). Their perks, Divine Edge, increases Kratos' Melee and Runic damage, at the cost of increasing the damage Kratos receives, and the perks will stack across the three pieces.
The Armor starts at Power Level 10, meaning there's no need to upgrade it.
| Item Name | How to unlock | Power Level | Stats | Perk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuirass of Zeus | Defeat Valkyrie Queen Gna | Level 10 | Strength: 100 Defense: 100 Runic: 80 | Divine Edge - Increases Kratos' Melee and Runic Damage by 40%, but increases the damage received by 100%. Stacks with other sources of Divine Edge. |
| Gauntlets of Zeus | Clear your sixth Remnant of Asgard | Level 10 | Strength: 125 Runic: 50 | |
| War Belt of Zeus | Clear your fourth Remnant of Asgard | Level 10 | Defense: 125 Runic: 50 |
