How to get Mod Tokens in God of War Ragnarok

By Jesse Lennox Published November 12, 2022

Even going back to the first entry in the series, God of War has always incorporated RPG elements to some degree. It started out simple — essentially just allowing you to power up weapons — but has expanded to include crafting, gear, skill trees, abilities, and more that can all be leveled up and modified. While playing, it can easily become too much to remember to manage to keep all your gear, skills, and abilities up to date, so even knowing about Mod Tokens might pass you by.

Mod Tokens are almost completely glazed over by God of War Ragnarok‘s tutorials. If you’re not actively paying attention, you could go through the entire game without utilizing them. While it would certainly be possible to beat the game without interacting with them, this series is all about getting as powerful as possible, so why limit yourself? Here’s everything you need to know about Mod Tokens in God of War Ragnarok.

Mod Tokens are upgrades that you can apply to specific skills you’ve unlocked in the skill tree. Some skills, but not all, will have Skill Labours attached to them. These just ask you to use that skill a number of times in order to increase that skill to the next tier. Once you’ve completed all the Skill Labours for a certain skill, and maxed out its tier, it will allow you to place a Mod Token onto that skill.

Mod Tokens vary depending on which skill you’re applying them to. You get three choices, with things like damage, elemental, and resistance to being staggered while using the skill among them. You can only apply one Mod Token to a skill at any time, but you can have Mod Tokens on all available skills, even if they’re both damage for example.

How to get Mod Tokens

Getting Mod Tokens is very easy. Once you’ve completed a skill’s Skill Labours and unlocked the ability to apply a Mod Token, simply select the skill and decide which of the three Mod Tokens you want to apply. From there, so long as you have enough XP to spend, you can create and insert the Mod Token on the fly. Make sure you remember to not only do your Skill Labours, but also actually create and insert Mod Tokens throughout your journey to keep increasing your power.

All Trophies and Achievements in Star Wars Outlaws

A spacecraft evades enemies.

Star Wars Outlaws invites you to get engrossed in not one, but many worlds. While it does share a lot of commonalities with other Ubisoft titles, specifically the best open-world games, it does break the mold in some appealing ways. Playing as a non-Force sensitive rogue named Kay, you will dive deep into the criminal underbelly of smugglers, rogues, and mercenaries all across the galaxy.

While it remains to be seen if it will be one of the best Star Wars games, we do know it has a very appealing list of Trophies and Achievements. Those who like to 100% games tend to shy away from Ubisoft games as of late for the sheer bloat of them, but Star Wars Outlaws might be more manageable. If you want to know what types of challenges await on your path to the Platinum, here are all the Trophies and Achievements in Star Wars Outlaws.

How to upgrade health in Black Myth: Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong protagonist drinking from his Gourd.

In an action RPG with as many bosses as Black Myth: Wukong, health is your most valuable resource. While you do have ways to upgrade and improve your healing gourd, there will always be a limit to how much health you can recover between Shrines. Your best defense is to not get hit, obviously, but that's not exactly useful advice. The next best tip is to get more health, but it isn't immediately clear if or how you can even do that. In reality, there are several ways, but it takes a little time to find them.
How to upgrade health in Black Myth: Wukong

There are three main ways to upgrade your total health in Black Myth: Wukong. The first is the easiest, but also provides the smallest improvements. It entails leveling up the Robust Construction stat in the skill tree. You can level this stat up multiple times to get incremental buffs to your total HP.

The best skills to get first in Black Myth: Wukong

A boss knocks over the main character of Black Myth: Wukong.

As an action RPG with some Soulslike elements, Black Myth: Wukong has a deep and expanding skill tree to explore. Unlike a lot of other skill trees, this one only has a few stat-buffing skills while the rest add or modify your existing moves. This makes each skill feel more impactful, but also puts a lot more pressure on you to make good choices early on to know what will or will not help you beat the early bosses. And make no mistake, these bosses won't go easy on you. You have a long journey ahead of you in Black Myth: Wukong, so make sure you get off on the right foot by knowing which are the best skills to get first.
Robust Construction/Rampant Vigor

The easiest stats to recommend putting a few early points into are Robust Construction and Rampant Vigor. These are the only two pure stat-increasing skills, with the former being one of the few ways to increase your health and the latter adding more stamina. It will be a while before you find more options to increase either of these stats, or improve your healing gourd, so these are a safe way to muscle your way through tough bosses.
