- Boots of Hermes: the Winged Boots Kratos Cut from Hermes in God of War IIIThe Boots of Hermes are the messenger god's winged greaves, which Kratos takes by cutting off Hermes's legs in God of War III. They let him sprint, dash and run on certain walls, and they are one of the few things Zeus fails to take from him.
- Omphalos Stone: the rock Cronos swallowed instead of the infant ZeusThe Omphalos Stone is the stone swapped for the newborn Zeus and swallowed by Cronos. Kratos cut it out of the Titan's stomach in God of War III, and Hephaestus forged it into the Nemesis Whip.
- Marbles: the soul stones of the JötnarThe Marbles, also called Spiritual Stones, were magical vessels crafted by the Jötnar to hold the souls of the last Giants of Jötunheim. Each bore a Jötunn name in Nordic runes, and they could carry a traveler across the realms to wherever a matching stone lay. Angrboda guarded them until destiny required her to hand the bag to Atreus, the chosen one the Giants called Loki.
- Alchemist's RingThe Alchemist's Ring was a green ring that held the soul of the dwarven alchemist Andvari, who locked himself within it to escape the Soul Eater of the Volunder Mines. Recovered by Kratos and Atreus, the ring still spoke with the voice of the dwarf trapped inside.
- Amulet of Uroborus: the gem that bent timeThe Amulet of Uroborus was a golden amulet set with a blue-green gem that could manipulate time and space. Stolen from the Oracle Aletheia and turned against Kratos, it passed into his hands and let him rebuild what had been broken.
- Amulet of YggdrasilThe Amulet of Yggdrasil was a piece of jewellery Kratos claimed after slaying the dragon Nidhogg. Worn as part of his armour, it held empty settings into which he fitted enchantments gathered from across the Nine Realms.
- Andvari's Hammer: the lost tool of the master smithAndvari's Hammer was a smithing tool that belonged to Andvari, the renowned Dwarven alchemist and old friend of Brok. Long after Andvari's disappearance, Kratos recovered the hammer from the depths of the Landsuther Mines at Brok's request.
- Flame of OlympusThe Flame of Olympus was an absolute power, mightier than the gods themselves and lethal to any who touched it. Within it Pandora's Box was hidden, and only by extinguishing the flame could the King of the Gods be made to fall.
- Golden FleeceThe Golden Fleece was a powerful golden armlet that had once belonged to the Argonaut Jason. Worn by Kratos, it could turn aside and reflect any attack, from a Gorgon's stone stare to a blow from the Blade of Olympus itself.
- Hades' HelmHades' Helm, known also as the Helm of Darkness and the Cap of Hades, is the helm of invisibility that the Cyclopes forged for Hades in Greek myth. In the games Hades wears a flaming horned helm, and the hero Perseus turns invisible with a magic helm in his duel against Kratos.
- Jötnar ShrinesThe Jötnar Shrines were wooden triptychs carved by the Giants to record the histories and prophecies of their kind. Scattered across the Nine Realms, they foretold Ragnarok and the fates of those caught up in it, including Kratos and his son.
- Mask of CreationThe Mask of Creation was a primordial wooden mask bound to the Rift of Creation, sought by Odin for the boundless knowledge it was said to grant. Its pieces were scattered across the Nine Realms, and Atreus restored it before destroying it during Ragnarok.
- Pandora's Box: the power to kill a godHephaestus forged Pandora's Box from the Flame of Olympus to hold the Evils of the Great War. Opening it let Kratos kill Ares, and loosed the Evils on the gods.
- Pandora's Box: the vessel of Olympus's evils and the power of HopePandora's Box was an artifact forged by Hephaestus on Zeus's order to contain the Evils unleashed by the Titanomachy. It was the only means by which a mortal could gain the power to slay a god, and it carried within it the hidden power of Hope.
- Thamur's ChiselThamur's Chisel was the great stonemason's tool, frozen within the head of his fallen corpse in Midgard. A shard of its magic tip could carve the secret rune that opened the way to Jotunheim, making it the key to the last hidden road into the realm of the Giants.
