God Of War: 10 Best Abilities You Must Unlock First
9. Precision Throw Combo
As far as ranged options go, Kratos is limited in what he can and can't do when faced with ghastly abominations too chicken to face him in close-quarters combat. Atreus, brandishing a bow, is more often than not the best method of doing away with such tricky customers, but there are steps you can take to alleviate the reliance on Kratos' offspring.
Precision Throw Combo remedies the relatively weak projectile damage of the Leviathan Axe by tacking on a combo-enabler that encourages precise aiming.
Flinging it at an enemy's weak point - usually their fat head - will open a short window (signified by a gleaming effect) where Kratos can recall the axe with an additional effect attached. The subsequent throw will trigger a modest explosion on impact that causes heavy damage.
You'll be able to upgrade the effect at a later date to increase the explosion radius and its strongly recommended that you do so, as it will one-shot entire packs of Nightmares.
