Put all that together with Freya’s occasional attacks and spawning enemies, and you’ll find that it’s extremely easy to get overwhelmed if you’re not paying attention. The whole fight becomes a matter of watching his combos, dodging when necessary, then going in for the kill – all while making sure that you have the right weapon equipped for his different forms. Baldur is absolutely relentless in his attacks, and his move set is varied and diverse enough to keep the player guarded at all times. In this fight, Baldur is able to switch between ice and fire forms, which forces you to constantly swap between your own weapons as well. Baldur is an incredibly swift enemy, and you’ll need to pay attention to his dashes and dodges, and basically keep track of his location at all times if you don’t want to get pummeled. All throughout the fight, Freya will constantly try to intervene with shockwaves and vines, making the fight even more challenging than you might expect. The final fight with Baldur is fairly similar to your first encounter with him, but this time, he has a new form for you to contend with. We really liked the design of the Bridge Keeper, but ultimately it’s just a slightly upgraded, reskinned version of the Trolls we’ve faced so far. It also has a rather cheeky teleportation move that can throw you off at times, but it’s still pretty easy to keep wailing on this guy with no real consequences, at least on normal difficulty. Most of the challenge comes from dealing with the orbs by throwing your Axe or Blades at them, while also keeping the camera on the Bridge Keeper itself to make sure it doesn’t surprise you with a ground slam. Its move set is largely the same as the other Trolls, except it can now summon orbs that will track you around the arena. Unlike your previous Troll fights, you won’t have Atreus around to distract the boss with arrows, which means that you’ll need to handle this one all on your own.įor the most part, the Bridge Keeper isn’t that big of a challenge. It’s simply a matter of dodging attacks (which aren’t that hard to dodge), throwing a crystal at it, going HAM on its face, then rinse and repeat.ĥ) Helheim Bridge Keeper The Hardest God of War BossesĪlright, so I know I said we wouldn’t be counting the Trolls in this list, but the Helheim Bridge Keeper actually packs a couple of new moves that distinguishes it from the rest of its commoner brethren. You have to dodge its attacks while inching your way to the next sap spawn point before throwing it at the dragon’s face to stun it again.įor such a magnificent looking boss, this one is a bit of a disappointment. The trick here is to keep the camera on the boss, then raise your shield right when it slams its foot down for the shockwave. Later on, Hraezlyr starts showing off a couple of new moves, including a ground shockwave and a lightning strike. You have a rather small window to land that shot to stun it, and then run up to start wailing on its head. This is a very mechanic-heavy fight where you have to stun the dragon by throwing the red tree sap at it just as it’s about to rain down electricity on you. This fight isn’t particularly difficult, but getting through it requires you to have fast reactions and good aim. Kratos and Atreus first encounter the dragon while riding the lift up to the mountain peak, and the fight begins proper once you reach the top. As the biggest boss (size-wise) in God of War, the cave-dwelling dragon Hraezlyr certainly leaves quite an impression.
