The side quests in this game are harder than the actual boss fights themselves
Yeahhhhh that's how 2018 was
well, if the main boss is gated behind a difficult challenge many people wouldn't be able to finish the game
Nothing is hard in this game. Same with 2018. The OG GoW's are harder...hitting the ravens are harder than any of the bosses lol
@@doomdude69 imagine a world where we have different people with different skill level.
LITERALLY WHAT IVE SAID THIS WHOLE GAME
Does like 4 runic attacks
Berserker only loses 2 % health
Gets hit twice
Dies
exactly
RIGHT?????!!!!!!!!
And what's even funnier is that most berserkers strike faster than kratos can recover so the first hit is usually game over.
@Pelonio Honestly, it's like they're made to be aggressively frustrating. The anxiety I've been having dealing with when fighting them comes in spades, I've only been able to beat 3 after nearly or possibly more than 50 attempts hopping from one to another trying my hand with them.
You jus have to upgrade gear
These boss fights really pack a punch even on normal difficulties
Even on the easiest mode
But it's fun as hell
@@Chazzwozzer9 not for me 😫🤬
The Alfheim fight is UNREAL 🤕
Yea and im trying to get the frozen flame that that thing gives
use the spear on that fight
@@crdbtmn8232 yeah, the spear got me through that one.
How do you get the damn spear
I’m to far in not to have it by now
"Green will be an easy fight..."
*Svipdagr the Cold and Sisters of Illska have entered the chat*
And then we rage quit
this fight literally had me questioning my existence
I'm still struggling with those f*****s!
yeah "Easy"
The best way to beat the 3 berserkers in alfheim is to ignore the one and focus on the two as they share a health bar. Once you clear them it’s an easier 1v1 battle.
Easier said than done
Yeah but that guy completely jumps in and tries to destory you
How to do that when he just continiuosly heavy hits from behind
@@OrinSigus beat the witches quickly, Spartan rage fury to heal.
@@OrinSigus and block/dodge when you can obvs. Don’t go full yolo.
gna and king each took me like 2 hour to beat. but valkyrie queen from 2018 game took me like 3 month to beat.
The queen from the 2018 game was just so op. Took me around the same time hahaha
The combat was more limited in 2018. That had something to do with it
@@rover5058 IMO it was a balance problem. Limited combat requires more limited health bar. Valkyrie queen was just too hard.
Reverse for me. Sigrun was a cake walk ngl very predictable
bro what about the sisters?
the sisters berserker is the only fight comparable with sigrun.
It’s honestly all down to trial and error. Fight learn die rinse repeat…then win eventually. Also be aware of all the skills you have in your arsenal
There is no much need to repeat when you're playing an interactive movie.
sums it all up
@@pedroaires35shut up
@@pedroaires35 Ohh look the loser who doesn't have a playstation and cries.
@@pedroaires35 there is
The king berserker fight made me reevaluate my existence
Lol
Been stuck there for about 2 weeks now
These things are way more difficult than they need to be. I've killed two and failed miserably against all the rest.
You aren't able to get past the Berserker fights??
@@princesmith8008 yeah probably because they’re meant to be an endgame challenge?
That is the point, same with valkyries in the last game
Lol
It’s also worth mentioning that when you get King Hrolf’s health low enough he switches to covering himself with the bifrost status element for the remainder duration of the fight until he’s defeated.
Actually you can just keep throwing the axe or spear to get rid of the bifrost
@@Bobwenthewen 😮 but how does that work ? to remove it ?
Platinum this game and fight the king was an experience.
Die a bunch of times,memorize every move they make then try beating them flawlessly😂
Worked for me atleast🤣
What armor? What build?
@@brownbeastoftheleaf3215 steinbjorn plackart/berserker armor,bracers of undying pyres,steinbjorn waist guard,hilt of hofud
The souls approach.
@@michaeldlindeman9600 exactly!
Alot of them just feel like end game bosses so make sure you max out your weapon and armour upgrades at least. No point in doing a boss if your damage output is low.
I’ve fought three so far and all I’ll say is that as much as you may want to be aggressive throughout the fight, you gotta stay patient and time those blocks, dodges and parries as well as you can. Don’t assume what the berserker is going to do. Even just waiting a small second to make sure you can identify which attack is coming is a game changer.
Even on easy, these things are freaking hard
Not really. If you had been farming doing side quests they would not be a problem.
@@navispain4927the final one is still impossible for me despite being level nine
Git Gud
Sums up the average skill level of this fanbase. No wonder they think this game is better than Elden Ring. Probably cant beat the first boss there - and thats the easiest soulslike since demons souls lol
Sigrun - the most overhyped boss in gaming history
@@doomdude69 you’re so cool
Can’t stress enough BELIEVE IN YOUR PARRIES, it’s by far the best way to build up the stun meter, I’d also recommend using the guardian shield as you get a better lock on with parrying projectiles
Also the “wrath” rage is the best option (with maxed out rage from blood horns) as it basically gives you 4 combo breakers & guaranteed hits
Not guaranteed tho, they teleport, you can miss them
@@willinton06 I’ve only seen them teleport if you try it from far away, if they do it close up aswell then fair enough just time it
Yes for using the rage as a combo breaker. Perfect for in case you mess up a parry on a yellow ring attack
Press L3 + R3 for Spartan Rage Quit.
Awesome vid. Bookmarking this for review before fighting them again. Cheers.
This is actually one of the best guides and am after ng+..
Perfect timing
at least, we are prepared in fighting the king. Not so for Gna.
So many new move, so many guided projectile, so many area effect attack, and we have to remember all of that in a single fight
To interrupt the blue circle, the onlsaught shield is op. You are gonna run automatically to the berseker that’s if you feel that you are not gonna make it on time
Damn it make sense
PRO tipp... this is the one everyone needs to know, it saved me a lot of times
Use the onslaught shield for these fights as Kratos will automatically run towards the enemy during the double blue ring attacks. He will even sometimes avoid the damage from those moves if you are close enough to them after they have completed the move and you're still charging at them.
Edit: For the poison berserker, use the spear on the nightmares. Detonating a lodged spear instantly removed them from the battlefield, making this fight significantly easier. Using the blades isn't as reliable as you can and most likely will take damage as you try to pull them in.
Best tip - Don't fight them...Leave them alone
Can't relate
no
Lol they are already on a grave right, doesnt matter different from valkiries
😁
Gná's fight was wayy harder than the King Berserker's if I'm being honest. He just had an insane amount of health while Gná had so many fast moves that looked EXACTLY alike one another but were either un-blockable or un-dodgeable.
For me Gna was easy but the King is very hard because your timing has to be perfect when parrying his attacks.
@@SK-ix8jb tbh for the King it’s just a 10 minute cycle of dodging for about 5-6 moves but at the same time staying close to him, and then attacking for like 5 hits. Most of my deaths were just from me being unlucky or him somehow attacking me through my runic attacks
um gna is a girl
gna is a girl @@SK-ix8jb
Guardian shield is the best way to deal with berserkers, the counter attack disrupts their follow attack unlike dauntless shields double l1.
Pair guardian with the dragon armor and the counter attacks deal more damage than your weapons.
You have perfect timing. Just sat down to start my optional boss fights on GMGOW!
“There aren’t many battles harder”
Gna says “Hold my beer”
Bro, the fight with the 3 Berserker sisters is the hardest one by far.
I’ve killed all beserkers with berserker stones an full bar just got to mystic gate way interact to heal then go back
Lower the difficulty.
😂
Fr 😂😂
Read my mind lol
True😂
🤣😂
The only ones that were a problem were the ones that featured 2 or more berserker. Only Sigrun was more frustrating than those.
My problem with the berserkers that have multiple is that when you are attacking one you don't know when or how the other one will attack you. Because even though Atreus/Fraya are agroing it. It will attack you sometimes without much warning
Having more then one enemy in a boss fight and it’s badly designed just feels like artificial difficulty
Svipdagr and the sisters of illska are such a pain as you need to focus on three different enemies
My eyes are hurting from all that dodge rolling
The axe is crap against berserkers. Use blades of chaos, bash triangle to charge the blade then hit R2. For more than double damage, Make sure all your blades moves have been upgraded for increased burn. Wait for the right moment, use realm shift, activate immolation. You're welcome
Git gud 😂
The blades are the worst against them, what are you talking about
The spear is the best to be honest
@@royvan6224 there is definitely not a best weapon to use against these guys. The spear is SUPER fast, can steal elements and can be thrown like the axe to interrupt some of the berserkers’ attacks. The blades are super fast, close range, with the burn element doing significant damage if you build it up, great runic abilities, and lots of options to use when you want to close the distance safely. The axe while slow, deals considerable damage with a more passive element to assist you, and AMAZING runics to interrupt the berserkers (wrath of the frost ancient, breath of thamur, levaithan’s roar, etc.) Don’t even get me started on the awakening for each weapon’s no hit boost. Spear does EVEN more stun, the blades build burn on EACH attack, the axe gets a secondary hit that ALSO freezes the enemy, AND they all can stun the enemy at close range to allow you to attack. Sorry about the paragraph. *
*There’s just too many option to limit yourself to one weapon imo*
Speak for yourself, axe is my go to weapon to destroy them.
Ive been fighting them using bare hands with poison from lunda armor. Im more comfortable that way. Fighting is way too long but more fun. Im stuck with the 3 berserker cos u need axe sometimes haha
Did you beat the sisters ?
The valkyries took time for me learn thier patterns and beating them. The queen valkyrie was a tough one but these bastards are hard as heck.
Alfheim Trio are the most annoyed Berserkers.
Easiest way: First of all kill the two flying mages, afterwards the berserker himself gets smoked real quick.
Facts.
@@JohnnyWalker1077 it’s not possible on the gow difficulty
the vanahiem one that spawns enemies is easily the most annoying
@@JohnnyWalker1077
Killing the berserker is faster and easier than trying to kill the twins.
Gna is a freaking nightmare tho
No fight in this game is challenging at all. The Valkyrie fight in ivaldis maze was harder than anything here…
Anyone find it harder to parry on ragnarok than 2018
Complete the crucible, upgrade your starter armour to completion also, then lower the difficulty. Job done
the ones with multiple opponents are the worst. the one with 3 is soo frustrating
I'm pretty sure these boss fights be any souls game that I've played
Hi can you please do an in~depth video to collect all the flower things from all the realms please? Thank you
Realm shift helps alot
Them Ice & fire ball pissed me off so bad
Guardian shield is better than the dauntless sheild.. both can counter but only the guardian shield stops the enemy's attack after parrying as Kratos goes into his counter combo. Dauntless shield only does a single shield bash and against these berserkers it doesn't knock them back like regular grunts therefore their attack animation continues.
Pro tip just max out your armor and weapons then bring some resu or berserker stone, you can take them easily.
I'm stuck with this 2nd last boss for platinum in no mercy for few hours tried with 20% boss hp left gosh, tried lower for balance easy kill just one try...any tips and op build guys?
Use a high def build (Steinbjorn chest, surtr scorched wrist & surtr scorched waist all max lvl.) For amulet use nifleheim set, svartalheim set, greater regeneration essence, regeneration essence and crest of desperate heroics. Use freya for high stun build
Leviathan axe with grips af fallen alchemist
Blades of chaos with pommels of the 9 realms
Draupnir with hind of volatile might
Onslaught shield with rond of restoration
Relic with hilt of angravadall.
All max lvl and should help you survive the fight with both Gna and King
Beat them on hard and cried blood at the end. Can’t imagine them on gmgow difficulty.
Got the platinum on gmgow difficulty, can confirm it was hell.. Gna was definitely harder though!
@@ImTheChef gna?
Took a couple dozen deaths. The king and the poison and the sisters one is pure hell on GMGOW
Same here bro, 100%’ed it on no mercy, cannot imagine the challenge on gmgow
I’m playing gmgow. And the comment section on this video make me reevaluate my life choices 😂😩
Best time to do this is after you complete the story
Most time to beat this just needed my rage bar full and a superior resurrection stone
Those alfheim berserkers are the most unfun boss in an otherwise amazing game. You are fighting the game with the camera and orbs rather than the boss lmao
18:30 Just equip Nidavellir waist and wrists and the stun meter won't decrease?
And in the setting if you enable mini boss checkpoint. When you got a boss half hp and you die the boss is still gonna be half hp.
Play on easiest difficulty, fight them after finished main story(with freya),upgrade tools on max and learn moves
Emblem of Elusion and Rond of Deflection. You're Welcome.
If you've come here looking for quick tips but don't have the time to watch the whole video don't fret! I've condensed everything you need to know in order to beat the berserkers!
-Keep hitting them until they die.
Thanks, was doing it wrong 👍
No one did it as smooth as me
🔥
Go straight for the two sisters it is so much easier you can just continuously dodge svipdagr
Try to hit them and not get hit back, seamed to work pretty well for me
Where is the spoiler alert music/clip at the beginning of the video from pls?
Awsome battles bezeker king is the hardest haklangar the bearded is 2nd toughest
So it's a bug when you can't block multiple attacks with yellow rings? Kratos is just too slow to block more of them in succession.
Beat them on no mercy one or two were challenging the rest are easy .. also try to use “last second dodge” for even more damage
Dang it, Thor!
how did you find the info of what different colour health bar means ?
It's common sense green takes the most damage from6ur attacks and red takes the least damage
This info can be found in the game in the Codex tutorial tab.
@@santumyar ty
The color code was nice know
Realm Shift is your friend
these niggahs are no joke especially the king hrolf
0:31 the censor actually made that funnier
This end game was a cake walk compared to the Valkyrie queen from 2018...
Not me killing King Hrolf Kraki in 4 attempts with purple bar health💀💀
“Purple bar health”💀
It took me 7+hours to beat one on stream 😩
Took me 3 tries each to no damage two of them .-.
@@radiotan5173 what mode ?
Hardest, theyre on my channel
50 L’s on the King brought me here.
The king really wasn't that hard compared to the 3 Berserker sisters in Alfheim imo 🤔
Ngl this berserker is as hard as the valkyries in the first gsme
Can anyone help me? I'm starting to get only red and purple health bar berserkers and enemies but idk why. My first berserker was yellow but for example the svartalfheim duo is red for me. Why???
are berserkers more difficult than valkyries in the first game?
No but the king for me is way harder than anything gow18 had to offer
The bold kicked my butt like 20 times just now. Haha
Once the king covers you in bifrost it’s impossible
How many berserkers are there before King Hrolf?
I’ve done every fight on no mercy apart from the king, his health pool is ridiculous and im level 8 ffs. U basically do chip damage and all my weapons are either level 8 or 9.
Lunda Armor Gang🤘
This video would have been nice last night.
Proud to say did it without lower difficulty
Proud to say it but saying it doesn’t mean anyone cares
Changed difficulty from no mercy to story still it’s not helping 😢
do the poison build, thank me later
Poison build goes hard!
Lunda's gear?
@@majidkhan89 yup, put the perks set too, the one you put three things for a perk activation, forgot what it's called
there are two perk sets will help a lot with melee build
Learn parry and use spear
If you watched this you’re not a gamer
you win through trial and error
If you beat every mission and side missions, collect all collectibles, open all chests, these berserker bosses are extremely easy. Each can be beaten less than a minute
That is a lie
@@inova6165 they become super easy when you’re more upgraded
yeah but if you do new game plus over and over and over@@Bopmyglizz
I’m already at the lowest difficulty 😂
Me too 😂😂😂
Beat all of em, no res stone. Only tough one was the king.
Yellow thrust attack💀 15:20
Can you leave the king fight
the Niflheim one was designed by a sadist
😂😂😂😂😂
What would happen when you sit there let the Berserkers recover after defeating them.
They are way easier then the boss fight in the crucible wjere u have to kill the gunts in order to hurt the boss
They aren’t, just level up
im playing on give me grace and its still pretty challenging. 😂
Nah ur just bad
Nah ur just bad
A lot of these Berserker fights are bad. The Valkyries we're way better. They were challenging but fair. Some of the Berserkers are battles with the enemy and the screen.
If you finish the campaign then it is alright to lower the difficulty and finish the whole game lol
I’m thinking the same thing too do you even get a trophy for completing the the game 100% on GMGOW ??
@@TheMarmboy no you can get all trophies on easy
Didn't even know you can lower difficulty. Lol Just beat Haklangr on no mercy (hard) and felt proud
