Summary
A newGod of War RagnarokPC mod fixes one annoying issue players had with the game since its 2022 PS5 launch: the seemingly never-ending chatter from Kratos’s companions.God of War Ragnarokwas finally ported to PC on September 19, allowing gamers who don’t have a PS5 to experience the action-packed Norse epic with new graphical enhancements and other quality-of-life features. For the most part,Ragnarokhas been hailed as another solid entry in theGod of Warseries, featuring brutal combat, impressive visuals, and a deep and emotional story following Kratos and Atreus as they come to terms with their respective destinies.
Despite its high quality, one aspect ofGod of War Ragnarokthat many players take issue with is the game’s puzzles, specifically the way that companion characters constantly spoil how to solve them. While many of these puzzles aren’t that challenging to begin with, allies like Atreus and Freya waste little time in giving hints or even outright revealing their solutions before the player even has time to act. ManyGod of War Ragnarokfans have voiced their complaintsabout this less-than-helpful feature, and even Sunny Suljic, the actor behindGod of War’s Atreus, thinks that the sound of his own voice can get irritating while giving away obvious hints.
A modder named Mophead has put together a handy solution forGod of War Ragnarok’s endless puzzle hints, at least for the recently released PC port. The aptly-titled “Please Shut Up (Companion Mute Mod)” is now available to download onNexusMods, and it removes over 1500 voice lines related to puzzles or combat hints. Some of the examples provided by the modder include Mimir pointing out when Kratos is impacted by elements like fire, companions reminding the player toblock attacks with their shieldif they get hit, and NPCs pointing out the solutions to certain puzzles.
New God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes Puzzle-Spoiling Dialogue
As pointed out by Mophead in the description of theirGod of War Ragnarokmod, these puzzle hints were largely meant to make the game more accessible to players who might not be as skilled with action titles, and for some, they could be genuinely helpful. When theGod of War RagnarokPC portwas released on Steam and the Epic Games Store last month, developer Santa Monica Studios put out a patch that added an option to reduce these hints, though it didn’t remove them outright like Mophead’s mod does.
Mods are to be expected whenever a popular game likeGod of War Ragnarokis ported to PC, though certain tech-savvy players have been making tweaks even before it was made more readily available to modders. One particular mod removedGod of War Ragnarok’s controversial PlayStation Network log-in requirement, though it was soon taken down just a few days after being posted.
