In God of War (2018), which weapon does Kratos receive from his wife Faye?

In God of War (2018), Kratos receives the Leviathan Axe from his wife Faye.

The axe is central to the game's combat and exploration. Kratos can throw it at enemies and objects, then summon it back to his hand. Its frost magic allows it to freeze targets, activate mechanisms, and interact with environmental puzzles throughout Midgard and the other realms.

Faye's connection to the weapon gives it emotional importance beyond its practical use. The Leviathan Axe was created by the dwarf brothers Brok and Sindri to oppose the power of Thor's hammer, Mjölnir. Its design and history place it within the Norse setting while giving Kratos a weapon distinct from the chained blades associated with his Greek past.

A common mix-up is calling the axe Kratos's original weapon. He uses it at the beginning of the 2018 story, but the Blades of Chaos remain part of his earlier history and return later in the game.
