Upgrading Weapons and Equipment

Another way to increase your level and stats is by upgrading your weapon and equipment by talking to the Huldra Brothers at certain points of the game.

It's recommended, however, that you invest your materials in what you think is the best equipment for you, so you don't have to worry about grinding for the materials if you somehow manage to run out of them.

Determines The Power Level of an Enemy

The level system in God of War Ragnarok allows the player to check how much power level the enemy has when compared to theirs. If an enemy has a higher level than the player, they'll most likely have more points allocated in their stats.

This is also indicated by the color of your enemy's HP bar, letting you know how powerful they are depending on the color.
