Trivia

The Guardian Shield is a souvenir given to Kratos by his dearest wife on the ceremony of the dark they met.
While playing in "Give me God of State of war" difficulty, combat with the Guardian Shield can be much more effective than using weapons in the early game for several reasons:
- Guardian Shield's entire moveset are completely unlockable by default given players accumulated enough xp.
- It is much easier to kill enemies by filling their stun bar in early game than to rely on exhausting their health. This advantage slowly fades as players base Forcefulness attribute increases from upgrading Leviathan and getting better gear/enchantment.
- As an extension of the point above, since enemies can get powered-upwardly in GMGOW, granting them increased power level and stagger resistance, killing them as fast every bit possible is unremarkably the priority to survive. Early in the game, the simply effective means to do this is to fill upwardly their stun bar past striking from behind and pushing the enemy to a wall surface, or to impale them past pushing them off a ledge. Leviathan in early levels lack the effective move prepare versatility, Runic attacks or speed to accomplish this cleanly.
- In GMGOW, advanced varieties of Reavers (who can regenerate health) and Hel-Walkers (who are resistant confronting Leviathan) appears much earlier in the game, whilst Leviathan and the supporting ability of Atreus is very underdeveloped and constrained. The ability to counterattack, button, stun and deflecting projectiles are invaluable in the absence of ideal and more direct offensive options.
This shield takes the place of the Aureate Fleece, used past Kratos long before and was destroyed. Like the Golden Fleece it could absorb attacks and redirect them dorsum.
- Similar to the Fleece, the shield could deflect projectiles back and helps Kratos execute counter-attacks after well-timed parries
- Notwithstanding, unlike the Golden Fleece which could absorb all types of attacks, physical, long range, to even magic, The Guardian Shield can merely redirect some attacks before Kratos defenses are breached.
