God of War Ragnarok takes some inspiration from classic RPGs, meaning that there is a max level you can reach. Although it is mostly a linear action game, Kratos can still level up his skills, weapons, and armour by completing side quests to gather materials and earn XP.
What is the max level?
The level cap in God of War Ragnarok is level 9 - this applies to weapons, armour, and Kratos.
It seems low, but the system is a little different to how you'd expect, as levelling up doesn't just come from earning XP like many other games.
Levelling system explained
If you head into the character menu in-game, you'll see that Kratos has an overall level that can be increased. This number is calculated using the gear that Kratos has equipped at the time, so it will naturally increase as you play through the game and unlock better equipment.
To upgrade gear to a higher level, look for it in the crafting menu at one of the forges. Then, press the right and left triggers to advance through the upgrade tiers. If you have the right resources to upgrade your equipment, then you'll be able to upgrade your gear.
The quickest way to level up Kratos is by completing sidequests and exploring each of the Nine Realms as much as possible. This will lead you to find additional crafting resources, Hacksilver currency, and crafting blueprints for Brok and Sindri.
As you craft better gear, you will slowly but surely see your character level tick up. It's important to keep Kratos as levelled up as possible; especially in the endgame of Ragnarok, there are some very tricky bosses.
