Can you Switch the “Give me God of War” Difficulty Mode?

If you choose the “Give me God of War” setting first you will have to stick to this difficulty and finish the game. If it’s too tough, you can switch to a lower setting mid-game but it cannot be reselected. You can only select this mode at the start of a new game.

And if you have chosen any other setting – Give me Story, Give me Grace, Give me Balance or Give me No Mercy – you can switch between them at any time during your game.

That’s basically how to change the difficulty level in God of War Ragnarok. In case you are deciding which mode to choose now, this guide will help you pick the best difficulty setting for the type of gamer you are and the experience you are looking for.
