A couple of times I was oh so close to win that fight, out of something like 30 tries… but in the end I had to disgracefully lower the difficulty to easy…

 

[DonF]

It's the best fight of the entire game. I loved it.

 

[SlimySnake]

Yeah I fought the first Valkyrie, died liked the piece of shite I was, tried again, died... Skipped all Valkyrie's... Now you're telling me there's a boss one... Fuuuuuuuuuuck dat

You are supposed to tackle them at the end of the game with decked out armor and perks.

Every valkrye teaches you something that prepares you for the final fight. One teaches you how to parry. One teaches you how to dodge. There is a Valhalla cunt who attacks from above. Those fights are basically training.

 

[Salmon Snake]

In my opinion the Valkyries are pretty badly designed hard bosses. Especially the last one was so fucking annoying that I had to change from hard to easy.

 

[Boss Mog]

They just have shit builds. If you have a good build it's not that hard.

 

[Hinedorf]

Valkyries were the thing I found challenging/fun in the game. Everything else is a 1 play through easy kill, Valkyries took a few tries, still not that hard, same process as sekiro, learning the timing, favorite part of the game for me.

41 yo here and it's satisfying to know I'm not the only one who is coming to terms with reflexes not being what they used to be Also as a father of 2 GOW really got me in the feels. If Atreus won't give up on freeing the Valkyries then neither will his dad!

Im also father of one little Princess and GoW touch me with the relationship father-son. The message here is dont you ever give up on your sons

I don't get it. Why would she stop giving new players trouble? I suppose the difficulty is the same as ever..?

I think maybe it means that some people didn't learn her moveset and defeat her even after all this time.

Spoiler

He is using the complete Zues set so has to have already beaten her.

Game becomes easier/faster with that armour but you can't get hit once otherwise you're dead.

Beating Sigrun at 30 fps is how I know I dont really need 60 fps gaming.

I think playing at 60fps on a ps5 sigrun and the muselphiem valkyrie are harder. I swear the timing on their Valhalla moves become more tight. I don't know if it's a bug or what or maybe just placebo.

I'm proud to have beaten Sigrun boss. It was a bitch but I did git gud. The tips I read was very helpful.

Despite being out for over 3 years, God of War's Sigrun boss fight continues to challenge players trying to save the Valkyries.

God of War Sigrun Fight is Still Giving Players Trouble

Despite being out for over 3 years, God of War's Sigrun boss fight continues to challenge players trying to save the Valkyries.

Seems to me like another classic case of “Git Gud”.

She was literally the last thing I did in that game. I played her on the easiest difficulty and still took me about four hours of playtime to beat her! Nearly everything else was on Hard difficulty and wasn't anywhere near as hard as her!

 

[boutrosinit]

Its was a challenge but not really that hard, especially compare to Sekiro's boss fights.

My advice is if you seeing yourself getting frustrated, stop and cool off then comeback and retry again, when you are frustrated you make stupid mistakes.

I do not recall how I beat her. I remember her being easier than the one in the toxic maze.

I think my combo of abilities allowed me to play a little cheap.

Update for ya op. I finally bested sigrun yesterday. I have your post to thank for that. So... Domo arigato now I just need someone to do a thread on furi

I have beaten both on PS5 at 60fps. I dunno if its a thing, I figure you also get more input delay at 30fps.

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully the sequel is gonna have more fight boss like sigrun and less like the dragon or baldur.

Yes they were spectacular to watch but mechanically they were very basic and easy, baldur has like 4 easy moves to counter even on max difficulty, it was such a letdown as a final boss fight if you leave the spectacle aside.


It is absurd that the best boss fight by far in the game is optional.

In other news, Battletoads on NES is STILL hard.
