@@Dinoman972 It also explains why the gods themselves didn't even fathom the idea of wearing shoes in the first place. Edit: So my guess is why all of them got bested by a mere mortal.
It's been 6 months accodring to CZcams, if by chance you don't have the game, it's currently free on steam, if you install it now you get to keep it forever. The Dev's released another game and I guess they're celebrating like this.
If I recall draugr are capable of many things including causing curses, nightmares and as we see here, changing in size and shape. So yeah, I think it's a draugr too.
So which Jotun you'd consider the hardest (just Jotun, so Odin doesn't count) I'd say fire Jotun, it's really fast and agressive with it's attacks which also have large area of effect.
It is purely chance if a warrior goes to Valhalla (with Oðinn) or Sessrúmnir (in Folkvangr with Freya), the Gylfaginning states: "Freyja er ágætust af ásynjum, hon á þann bœ á himni er Fólkvangar heita, ok hvar sem hon ríðr til vígs, þá á hon hálfan val, en hálfan Óðinn" "Freyja is the most renowned of the goddesses; she has in heaven the dwelling called Fólkvangr, and where so ever she rides to the strife, she has one-half of the kill, and Odin half" The key point here is that you must die in battle to go to either of the halls, I have not seen in primary sources any indication that a personal dedication from a human to a god determines your fate it is the choice of the Valkyrja and Freya where they take you, however the All-Father may instruct them to his preference. Women can die in battle so there is no reason why a woman could not go to Valhalla but I suspect the Freya would want to collect such women for herself; after all Oðinn has is Valkyrja. To all the ignorant people in the comments saying Women cannot enter Valhalla actually read up on the religion next time.
Because the whole thing was a Rite to allow her entry to Valhalla, as she died in an assassination. Odin was only using 1% of his power to fight her, hence why he looks like he isn't really trying.
@@Victor-056 Correct. This entire thing was to see if Thora was worthy of being an Einheri (the Nornir already know that she is, but they're not going to inform anyone since revealing one's destiny tends to lead to...uh... bad things)
I love how these bosses get harder and harder as you battle them. The ice giant was probably my favorite. It felt truly epic to be fighting him in this escalating blizzard, where by the end you were in white-out conditions, could barely see, found yourself slipping all over the ice, and were trying to chase down a boss that was moving faster by the second. Every battle in this game felt impossible until it suddenly wasn't.
I really like how most of these bosses attack you in self defense, but i really like Kautan, the blacksmith. However he is also one of the best looking bosses i have seen in a long time, like seriously?! HAIR MADE OF LAVA?! THAT IS AWESOME HE IS EVEN USING THE SWORD OF RAGNOROK,which to everyone who doesn't know, ragnarok is like the end of the world, and this guy made a sword, dedicated to Ragnarok.
I played that 3rd fight Hagalez on the Gamescom last year and it was so incredibly challenging that no one pulled it off. I just didn't figure out to turn those lamps on :D So not only the gods are impressed by this but me too haha.
Nice video! Made it look easy, when I reviewed this game for my indie insight first impression series on my channel, I fought the first boss & instantly thought it was a anime dark souls. Gotta get them tactics right.
Stop with the "dark souls this, dark souls that" holy fucking shit. This triggers me so much. A game is hard and everyone is fucking calling it dark souls.
I love how the stun Hagalaz you gotta get her stuck by lightning Even though she controls it like You literally punching yourself in the face so hard. You black out for a couple minutes
I really wish there was a longer version of Kaunan's theme. the music that's playing in his second phase doesn't appear in the original track released on the OST :c
I like how Kaunan and Isa are LITERALLY JUST THE SAME CHARACTER except with minor design differences. Kaunan: Less fat & more muscle toned as he is a master weaponsmith & a fire giant, and has a well kept skirt with matching blacksmith's gloves (kinda pointless as he doesn't need to worry about burning his hands) Isa: More fat and flabbier (yet still strong AF!) muscles under all that bulk as he is a nomadic loner & an ice giant, and has a skirt made of unkempt animal pelts. Both have scalp & facial hair made of their respected elements, so their designs differ slightly with how those look as well. BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS THAT OUT OF ALL THE JOTUN IS THAT KAUNAN AND ISA ARE THE LEAST DIFFERENT DESIGN-WISE, BEING THE ONLY MEN, AND THEN WE GET THE ABSOLUTE VARIETY THAT IS JERA (thicc), FE (buff), AND HAGALAZ (skinny) ON THE LADIES SIDE!
Wait, Hagalaz is female? EDIT: Just made some research, and I think it makes sense for Kaunan and Isa to be so similar, since they represent opposite concepts: Kaunan is the Jotun of "the torch" (which I guess means fire), mortality and pain (I guess that explains why he does a Hollow Knight after defeat), while Isa represents ice, stillness and power. The concepts the female Jotun are based on aren't really opossite, so I don't think there's a need to make them very similar. Just my opinion, though.
I just remembered it again cuz it's free on epic next week. Guys, if you're googling this to see if you should play: GET IT. PLAY IT. It's one of my favorite games ever, and it's short and sweet so you don't have to commit too much time. It's got just so many great details in its animation and sound design. The way the music ramps up more and more as the bosses get harder... Jera's flower freaking out when you hit it with an axe... the creaking-wood sound she makes as she dies... Hagalaz's thunderbolts coming with just a short loud clap instead of a long roll, because that's what thunder sounds like when it's right over you... Kaunan taking a second to give that sword one last definitive hammer before he turns around to deal with him... Fe and her hordes of Norse dwarves which, if you look closer, are still BIGGER THAN YOU ARE... and then of course Odin! and the sheer badassery of the way he flings off his cloak and his "old traveler" disguise to reveal himself as the king of the gods. and that fucking music!!! chills!!! annnnd probably my favorite thing of all: that escalating white-out blizzard in Isa's fight where conditions deteriorate by the second, all while he gets stronger and faster. by the end you can barely see, you're sliding all over the place, and meanwhile he's barreling around and you can barely get out of the way let alone chase him down for a hit. fml, that was probably my favorite fight in the whole game.
17:00 I really wish the released soundtrack contained that portion of the music that plays during Kaunan's boss fight. Particularly, the part that starts playing at 17:16 (you can hear it more clearly at 18:18). I've always looked for an extended version of this boss theme ("In Flames"), but never have I found one nor did the versions I found contained this segment. And I'm like, "why isn't this present?! like, this is the most memorable part of this boss theme!"
They gave this one out for free ages ago to celebrate because they were releasing a new game. Damn lightning boss took me ages because I took _way_ too long to figure out the crystals.
I love how 90% of the fight you're mostly hitting their toes, which somehow ends up killing them.
you seen the size mismatch until now during the whole game? body and weapon size
You see it’s like stubbing your toe multiple times until you feel like dying
@@nancyminaj7266 I guess that explains Kaunan's death.
@@Dinoman972 It also explains why the gods themselves didn't even fathom the idea of wearing shoes in the first place.

@@VeganExtra they were meant to die in the first place so if she defeat all of the Jotuns she will be alive again
I have NEVER seen this game.
I have NEVER played this game.
I have NEVER searched this game.
*recomended*
egitantigo It's trying to tell you it's good
It came up in steam for free but limited . and i got this game but i didnt yet played it yet
it's hard
for me..
TheChicken One you definitely should, it's got a sweetspot in difficulty imo. all deaths seem fair.
CZcams is having a lot of problems when it's expanding a lot, so these can be common.
"you have impressed the gods!" *kills the gods*
Namsu Zaija you're right, should've just peed on them to show dominance.
and while you are peeing on them the just step on you like they should of done anyway
and also the lava god killed himself
they aint gods, they're titans. *well except for odin*
They aren't titans, they are jotuns. Titans are from greek mythology, but jotuns are from Norse mythology
This game's animation and design are fantastic.
Wow, I've never seen this game before. Looks gorgeous...
It's been 6 months accodring to CZcams, if by chance you don't have the game, it's currently free on steam, if you install it now you get to keep it forever. The Dev's released another game and I guess they're celebrating like this.
Really Holy Shit
Um-hmmm.
@TheSoulsEnd yes
I recommend you to see sundered, its from the same creators and also looks gorgeous
4:40 she was a beauty on the inside.
I think that "unnamed mid-boss" at the beginning of the video was a Draugr.
No, based on the music it is a skeleton
yes its a Drauger and yes Draugr are undead so yes "skellie" does fit them rather well as a description
If I recall draugr are capable of many things including causing curses, nightmares and as we see here, changing in size and shape. So yeah, I think it's a draugr too.
The designs in this game are absolutely gorgeous how have I never heard of it??
Wow, killing odin with no damage and no power. THAT is insane
He is worthy! To valhalla!
She, appearently, since it says "Thora" in the cutscene + woman voice. female viking warriors :rolleyes:
cant offend the social justice fucktards
So which Jotun you'd consider the hardest (just Jotun, so Odin doesn't count) I'd say fire Jotun, it's really fast and agressive with it's attacks which also have large area of effect.
That's Gellot for ya
It is purely chance if a warrior goes to Valhalla (with Oðinn) or
Sessrúmnir (in Folkvangr with Freya), the Gylfaginning states:
"Freyja er ágætust af ásynjum, hon á þann bœ á himni er Fólkvangar
heita, ok hvar sem hon ríðr til vígs, þá á hon hálfan val, en hálfan
Óðinn" "Freyja is the most renowned of the goddesses; she has in heaven
the
dwelling called Fólkvangr, and where so ever she rides to the strife,
she has one-half of the kill, and Odin half" The key point here is that
you must die in battle to go to either of the
halls, I have not seen in primary sources any indication that a
personal dedication from a human to a god determines your fate it is the
choice of the Valkyrja and Freya where they take you, however the
All-Father may instruct them to his preference. Women can die in battle
so there is no reason why a woman could not go to Valhalla but I suspect
the Freya would want to collect such women for
herself; after all Oðinn has is Valkyrja.
To all the ignorant people in the comments saying Women cannot enter Valhalla actually read up on the religion next time.
Impaler722 The f!@# are you talking about I was defending her! There are people in the comments saying women can't go to Valhalla!!
Then again, if they didn't die with their weapon in hand, they would be sent to Niflheim.
Your virginity smells worldwide.
what if your hand is your weapon?
Your Knowledge of Viking Culture reeks half a universe wide, Ashmole Production. The Gods must be impressed.
When Odin gets beat he basically just goes “oh shit, that kinda hurt”
Because the whole thing was a Rite to allow her entry to Valhalla, as she died in an assassination.
Odin was only using 1% of his power to fight her, hence why he looks like he isn't really trying.

Honestly, I found Hagalaz’s laugh to be the most scary.
And that fight is a tough one
Hagalaz as a whole is freaking terrifying !
What about Kaunan's grunting?🥴
I wonder if Gamers would be allowed in Valhalla if they died grinding...
Only if your game controller is considered a weapon
It's a blunt weapon
mindblown
Only Viking i think. If you are a gamer you are under the jurisdiction of the Cyber gods and Deus ex Machina.
don't forget the RNG gods
I really like how most of these bosses attack you in self defense, but i really like Kautan, the blacksmith. However he is also one of the best looking bosses i have seen in a long time, like seriously?! HAIR MADE OF LAVA?! THAT IS AWESOME

Damn
I’m assuming the first boss was a draugr
Because they can grow into giants if they want and Thora blessed it to Rest In Peace after a “second death”
A lot of work went into this game's art. Dang.
When CZcams recommends you something interesting
I played that 3rd fight Hagalez on the Gamescom last year and it was so incredibly challenging that no one pulled it off. I just didn't figure out to turn those lamps on :D So not only the gods are impressed by this but me too haha.
The mid-boss is probably supposed to be a draugr, in norse mythology they were undead corpses that had powers like growing to giant size.
"You have impressed the viewer"
*shining bright spotlight*
This game is like if Shadow of the Colossus and Ori and the Blind Forest had a beautiful baby...
ThatAwkwardIndian Don't forget about the Nordic Mythology part!
@@knightofarkronia8652 and titan souls(But this one has skills and Healthbars)
This game is so beautiful ;-; all the music, graphic and angle changes
One of my all time favorite indie titles! Impressed you didn't use any of the super moves either.
5:09 Who's there?! YOU DARE DISTURB MY SLEEP?!!
I love this kind of game, and with your channel I can know new games and also see your god plays
holy hell the sheer scale of the bosses could give asura's wrath a run for its money.
But like, the first boss you fight in that game is bigger than the Earth.
@@engineerengifar5713 yet it isn't even the strongest
That frost giant reminded me of the Ice King
At first I thought it was Ymir
THICC Ice King
His name is "Isa"
Kaunun is the best boss, hands down. That clanging sword is awesome.
The sound and music for Isa was top tier
29:00 excuse me... 5? HE CAN SUMMON ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME?!
he kirb yeah that’s how I died when I was about to kill him
Almost a pity that Gellot finished Odin before that summon could go off, eh? I bet he'd even be able to dodge THAT.
Thank you for this. I got lost in Ymir's section and gave up. I'm fighting the map more than bad guys and it sucks.
Nice video! Made it look easy, when I reviewed this game for my indie insight first impression series on my channel, I fought the first boss & instantly thought it was a anime dark souls. Gotta get them tactics right.
Stop with the "dark souls this, dark souls that" holy fucking shit. This triggers me so much. A game is hard and everyone is fucking calling it dark souls.
great artstyle. was wonderful to watch
Kaunan: "I am so pissed that I cannot kill you, that I'll kill MYSELF to steal from you the glory of killing me." (Seems legit.)
I love how the stun Hagalaz you gotta get her stuck by lightning Even though she controls it like You literally punching yourself in the face so hard. You black out for a couple minutes
I have no idea what this game is, but it looks fun. Gotta head to Steam now, and I blame you.
Jotun
any more games like this? art style, hack and slash, purchase equipment upgrades related?
First time watching the game.
Graphic designer behind this game is amazing!!!!
dude the bosses are so Insane.. and some are weirdly cool
20:24
that seems a little unessesary
Trismon55555 when you forgot your homework at home...
That's Hara-Kiri for you.
It's called commiting sepoku :V
I'm also asian, why would anyone call you a weeb for that, also, saying sepoku instead of seppuku is an internet meme.
Trismon55555 no totally necessary, hehehe
The battle with Odin was frustrating, but damn it felt good when I finally beat him
I like how you have to smack their ankle to get their attention. Lmao.
I really wish there was a longer version of Kaunan's theme. the music that's playing in his second phase doesn't appear in the original track released on the OST :c
Jogo da hora, conheci por causa desse vídeo.
Recomendo!
I will buy and download this game :D
Thank you.
Dang. Have to say. The art direction and music makes it all very aesthetically pleasing.
I love how kaunan's intro was like um he was like a literal blacksmith
14:23 That blade looks OP.
can we just appreciate how fucking flawless the animation on all these characters is

I like how small this game makes you feel against them, like shadow of the colossus
you sir , im throwing my hat off to you
Does sundered have the same artist as this game? The style and animation is absolutely stunning and extremely recognisable
You guessed right.
You have impressed the Gods!
This is much more impressive than using the God powers, the gods really would be proud of your skill.
my fucking god it's like watching a movie. How haven't i heard of this awesome game? The animations are just in another level.
EDIT: watched the4 whole video and, while the second boss was extraordinary the other ones where easy and mediocre.
Alright I just did Odin boss fight finally while getting the dodging all the spears achievement, it was pretty fun to do while streaming =D
5 years later in 2024, f streaming.
Watching it today, Kaunan really reminds me of Surtr from GOW Ragnarok. Both are fire giants and have a huge collection of swords
So Kaunan is literally just surtr, why not call him surtr?
i think you mean surt
what's this? game for ants?!
Well it sells your relative size, and the feeling of a monumental task pretty well.
It is a quote from Zoolander.
Aunts, uncles, a game for everybody
So this game is basically a Scandinavian pedicure specialist simulator, who tries to give Jotun a proper nail care?

Wasn't Jormungand a boss too? or it was just a feature of a level?
Look at the Allfather flying so casually, it seems he rather be elsewhere....
at 20:16 you can tell the stress was HIGH
Fe and Hagalaz are my faves
I wonder if that first boss might be a draugr. It was believed that draugrs were undead greedy warriors that could grow.
He really has a good taste in game
Cool gameplay
thunder chick is still my favorite animated character
You can hit Odin's spears?! This changes everything for me. O_O
Nukatron me too my friend. I was evading all spear but stacks a lot.
Same lol
WOW SUPER DOPE! FANTASTIC
OMFG, You are pro on the Jotun bro, Holy shit...
whenever I look up Kaunan's theme it never plays the horn part that starts playing on phase two. What's up with that
I had no idea you could hit Odin's Gungnir. That'll make it SO much easier.
When fighting Kaunan, and you get to half his lifebar the music is different from the ost, does anyone know where to look for that theme?
the entire Kaunan OST is called "In Flames"
i´m really impressed. how many tries did you invest to make this video?
No one:
CZcams:Hey kid,wanna see a some random player beat all bosses in the game that you don't know...
this game looks amazing @_@!!!
The animation I love it
That's why this game is good: "nah, this one is easy"-and after a short while: "this is gonna be the NIGHTMARE"-and yes, i know it's old
2:58 that laughter is from hell......... WHAT THE HECK
*_THIS GAME IS FREE RIGHT NOW ON STEAM, IF YOU WANNA TRY IT HURRY YOUR ASS UP IF YOU SEE THIS BECAUSE IT COULD NOT BE IN A WHILE_*

I’m telling the truth I was just playing this on Xbox 2 minutes ago until I watched this
11:00
Looks like Thor with Steroids.
I dont think I ever found out I could hit odins spears back when I played the game. certainly seems like it would make the fight much easier
Odin is proud of you my son!
Oh.. Odin's spear can be destroyed. Thanks for video. I can go back to impress the last god.
Hey Gellot, found out what the mid boss's name is, or what it is. It's called a Draugr by the developers.
