God of War Ragnarok guide: Where to find Meteoric Slam heavy runic attack for Kratos' Blades of Chaos

Kratos' iconic twin blades, the Blades of Chaos, which are imbued with flames that can withstand even the harsh cold of Helheim, are back in God of War Ragnarok. They come with new moves, skills, and runic attacks.

The Blades of Chaos are now available from the get-go, unlike the last title, where they were tied to narrative progression. They not only serve as an offensive tool but are also a crucial part of traversal and puzzle-solving in the game. Having access to the twin blades right out of the box gives players more options during combat.

The Blades of Chaos also have a new moveset called Whiplash, which allows Kratos to engulf them in flames, inflicting burn status on enemies hit by the attack.

The combat style while using the Blades of Chaos remains largely the same. However, Whiplash and Immolation change the formula quite a bit, making the weapon much more viable than in the last game.

There are a number of new runic attacks, such as Helios Flare and Flames of Anguish. However, there are also a few returning ones, like Rampage of the Furies and the very powerful heavy runic attack — Meteoric Slam.

Unlocking the Meteoric Slam is fairly straightforward and does not require players to grind for the Surtr's Flame resource, like in God of War (2018). However, players won't be unlocking the heavy runic attack any sooner since it requires the completion of certain side content.
