After 2 months of trying, the No Upgrade Run+ of God of War on the hardest difficulty (Give Me God of War) is finally over. Roughly half that time was actually spent in the video making process, but regardless, this was the hardest and most exhausting thing I've ever done in a videogame ever (probably). I recorded the whole run and will upload it all soon. The game divides the Journey into 17 parts, so I will be uploading it all in 17 videos (link at the bottom of the description).

"No Upgrade Run+" means I'm not allowed to obtain any runic attack gems, pommels, runic summons, armor pieces, enchantments, talismans, skills or special items, nor to use Spartan Rage, XP, Hacksilver, Resources or the Death's Vow Armor Set (Digital Deluxe Edition exclusive).

However, I'm allowed to use anything I obtain as part of the Journey, including:
-1 Leviathan Axe upgrade (Level 2).
-4 skills (Freezing Throw, Fury Strike, Raging Smash and Spear of Chaos).
-1 light runic attack gem (Hel's Touch, Level 1).
-6 special items (4 Marks of the Dwarves, 1 Dragon Tooth and Thamur's Chisel).
-Spartan Rage, 4 times only (3 times when the Journey guarantees a full Rage Bar and 1 time in an otherwise impossible fight during Part 7, "The Magic Chisel").

In other words, a NUR+ is 10 times harder than a mere "Level 1" run.
