You’ll find Ancients — those giant creatures made out of rock — scattered throughout God of War, and many of them will be optional encounters. Choose to fight and defeat them, and you’ll accumulate the items to create this armor set, which includes the Pauldron of the Ancients, the Gauntlet of the Ancients and the Belt of the Ancients. Browse the gallery above for the details on the items you need, including Ancient’s Hearts, Ancient’s Rubble and a lot of hacksilver.
