God of War Ragnarok Update 4.01 Patch Notes
Equipment
- Fixed an issue where Darkdale Waist Guard or Risen Snow Armor could not be upgraded past Level 9 in NG+.
Quests
- Fixed an issue where certain quest resources were not granted upon completion in NG+ (Lindwyrm Scales, Sovereign Coals, Essence of Hel). These resources will be granted retroactively to players who should have received them.
System
- Fixed a rare case where the application would crash when loading certain save files.
Trophies
- Fixed an issue where the “Ready for Commitment” trophy would not unlock when upgrading NG+ armor to Level 9 or above.
- Fixed an issue where the “Dragon Slayer” trophy could not be earned during NG+ if the player did not craft the Dragon Scale armor during first playthrough on base game.
- Fixed an issue where the “Phalanx” trophy could not be earned if the player crafted a Level 9+ shield prior to crafting every other type of shield.
If you receive the armor from the Lost Items Chest in the shop, you will need to restart or reload your game to get the trophy.
Please note that these trophies will be granted retroactively to players who fulfilled the prerequisites between the time the NG+ patch (v. 04.00) and this patch were implemented.
UI/UX
- Fixed a rare case where the application would crash in the UI.
The 4.0 update included the introduction of the NG+ mode, allowing players to replay the game while retaining all weapons, skills, and equipment from their previous save. New equipment featured the Armor of the Black Bear, Spartan Armor, Ares Armor, and Zeus Armor. The update also introduced the Spartan Aspis shield, available for purchase using Hacksilver at the Huldra Brothers’ Shop. In addition, 13 existing armors received new color and style updates.
New enchantments, purchasable with Gilded Coins obtained by converting equipment, were added, offering powerful perks applicable to Amulets. Players can earn Stat Boost Enchantments by defeating Berserker Souls in NG+. For those seeking additional challenges, Burdens, a new set of enchantments with negative perks, has been introduced.
