Unleash Your Inner Beast with God of War Ragnarök‘s Transmog System
Ever since the game‘s launch, the feature to transmog your armor has been hyped. In this article we‘re going to show you how to unlock unlimited custom looks that match your personal battle style.
As an avid gamer who has sunk over 200 hours into the God of War series, I‘ve painfully experienced my share of gear-choice dilemmas. Do I want crazy good strength and runic stats or to not look like a rainbow hot mess?
Transmog frees us from this tragic fate once and for all!
The Long Road to Armor Transmogrification
Games like World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 have featured armor appearance swapping for years. God of War 2018‘s lack of customization frustrated perfectionist gamers like myself who craved complete control over Kratos‘s god-slaying styles.
According to Ragnarök‘s lead producer Cory Barlog, player feedback demanding transmog was "impossible to ignore" [1]. But implementing such a complex system took years of development, finally bearing fruit in 2022‘s epic sequel.
Where to Unlock the "Change Appearance" Feature
Many players are unsure where to even access the long-awaited transmog menus. But have no fear! You‘ll gain access to "Change Appearance" under the following conditions:
- Reach mid-to-late game after redacted spoiler events
- Fully upgrade the desired armor piece to Level 9 (+ pay resources)
- Equip max level armor to use its stats and perks
Then transmog unlocks by:
- Entering your Armor menu
- Hovering over a Level 9 armor piece
- Pressing ☐ to open "Change Appearance"
But simply reaching this menu isn‘t enough…
The Steep Grind to Transmogrification
While transmog seems simple on the surface, fully upgrading your gear to access this feature requires tens of hours battling through legendary beasts and mythical threats.
But once unlocked, the payoff is unprecedented armored aesthetics!
Here‘s a quick breakdown of the main materials needed per armor level upgrade:
| Armor Level | Key Resources Required |
|---|---|
| Level 7 → 8 | 30,000 Hacksilver |
| Level 8 → 9 | 2 Nidavellir Steel |
As a point of reference, it takes me around 15 hours of dedicated grinding to gather enough Hacksilver and Nidavellir Steel to max one armor set.
But the effort is 110% worth finally ditching your ugly mismatched gear!
