God of War Ragnarok made several significant changes to the gear that Kratos uses in combat. While the primary weapon systems remain largely the same, players will find that Ragnarok's new Relic mechanic completely changes the way certain items are used. Talismans are gone for good. Now, Kratos has a single Amulet where Enchantments are equipped, and all the special moves that were associated with Talismans have now been replaced by Relics, which take many forms.
