In God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla, change Kratos’s look at the Appearance Pedestal on the Shore. Unlock more appearances by earning Valhalla rewards, then use the condition shown in-game for any appearance that is still locked. Valhalla armor is cosmetic only: it does not change stats or grant armor perks in the mode.

Valhalla pedestal versus base-game transmog
| Workflow | Where and how | Combat effect |
|---|---|---|
| Valhalla appearance | Use the Appearance Pedestal on the Shore; unlock further options through Valhalla rewards. | Cosmetic only; appearance does not affect stats or armor perks in Valhalla. |
| Base-game appearance change | For core weapons and armor in the base game, the equipment must reach Level 9 before applying another inventory appearance. In NG+, use the transmog menu for Level 9-or-higher armor. | Changes appearance, not the underlying equipment’s combat properties. |
| Valhalla reward used in NG+ | Complete Valhalla’s main story, then claim eligible rewards from the Lost Items Chest and purchase armor appearances at the shop. | The appearance is cosmetic; the claim process is distinct from the Valhalla pedestal. |
PlayStation’s base-game appearance guidance and New Game+ transmog announcement describe Level 9 equipment requirements. Do not apply that threshold to Valhalla’s Appearance Pedestal.
Dark Odyssey collection availability
PlayStation announced the Dark Odyssey collection for March 20, 2025, at no additional cost to owners of God of War Ragnarök on PlayStation and PC. The collection is claimable through any Lost Items Chest in the base game and is received automatically in Valhalla. Its items include a Kratos appearance, breastplate, bracers and belt, an Atreus vestment, and a Freya witch frock. This availability detail is specific to the announced collection; it is not a general unlock rule for every Valhalla appearance. See PlayStation’s announcement.
Best Value
Should you finish the main game first?
Valhalla is an epilogue to God of War Ragnarök. PlayStation recommends finishing the base-game story first if you want to avoid narrative or gameplay spoilers. That is spoiler guidance, not a prerequisite for entering Valhalla. See the Valhalla announcement.
