Took out all the Valkyries, got chest, wrist, and waist Mist armor...now to free my last dragon and then bring balance to the norseverse. **SNAP**
Basically everything before you reach level 2 in terms of strength is just a pain. Things got exponentially easier after the axe was upgraded to lvl 3 and you can actually parry things (whereas at lvl 1 most attacks from anything that hits harder than a lvl 1 dragur is red/unblockable because its too strong for you)
Yeah that first few hours were a slog and a lot of rolling especially when you fall into the dragur pit.
dragur pit = juggle as many dragurs off the ledge as possible in the first 20 secs, then spartan rage to kill the purple, then hide in a corner for 30 mins while my shitty son do all the work
i've surprised myself at the level of pussiness I had to resort to to cheese through some mob waves. The encounter right before you meet brok where u fight a rev and 2 heavy dragurs = I had to climb up the ledge immediately after the nordic chest then kill the dragurs using axe throw recalls while the dragurs swung at a ledge before letting my son shoot 2000 arrows at the rev.
The Dragur pit and the Nif realm tear were the only things that had legitimately frustrated in the game. Sigrund took me a while but it was solely a product of my impatience

Yeah I can't count how many times I just had to cheese or throw the ax a million times /arrows to win.
Spoiler Holy shit Thor at the end. what a fucking game. exceeded my expectations ten fold. Might even be in my Top 10 all time for me.
Close to finishing I think just because Mimir told me to check my equipment and gave that make sure you are ready for anything prompt. Currently in Nilf collecting those mists.
Attempted 1st valk on GMGoW difficulty at lvl 6, overestimated it and killed Gunnr without taking a single hit (granted I think she's the easiest)
I’m getting this next month. You guys gushing over this moved my timeline for a PS4 up significantly.
Stuck trying to find the bridge keeper. I made it all the way through the cave and back to the part where you can go through the crack to get back to the bridge but that's it.
So I take it I shouldn't be doing the other Valkyries yet, since I'm still lvl 4? I beat the first one near where you get the shard, but every other one has been kicking my ass
Even fully equipped it takes awhile you just need to learn how to dodge all thetheir attacks and play patient .
Killed all 8 valks on god of war difficulty, upgraded blades and axe both to max level and mist armor to 7+, debating if I should grind for 5 hrs to upgrade the set to lvl 8 or try my hand at Sigrun
Ok, THIS is now officially the craziest fucking thing I've seen done in GoW. Sigrun in God of War difficulty, level 1, no runic attack, no spartan rage, no leviathan axe and no damage.
Just beat that whore Sigrun on GMGoW difficulty after about 20ish hours of total attempts, officially 100% fully completed the game in its highest difficulty. Now patiently waiting for NG+
Well done I'm at Nilf and ready to pick it back up soon. These sleepless nights when the newborn can't sleep will be a lot easier with games and streaming services.
I will say Sigrun on GMGoW difficulty is possibly the most fun fight in a video game I've had in decades. One screw up and missed animation tell and you're dead, and since she uses literally every single valk attack other than the summoning, its a bit of a ramp-up to get used to. 5 hours before I finally beat her I had her down to half a bar of health (out of like 12 or 14), missed a quick turn when she did the blind move, then instantly died to a swoop dive. feelsbadman.
Closest I've gotten her is 4 bars left. Pushing about 10 hours or so. I've gotten significantly better at fighting her since I started turning 180 on that blinding attack
pretty entertaining, found myself yelling "WTF YOU IDIOT" when you did a quick turn at the 10 min mark when she was about to do the blind mace slam that would have 1 shotted you
also you don't seem to dodge her wing stab attack that well. it always comes after she dashes to your right twice or after she lands from an air attack and stands still for 2 secs.
I realized it as soon as I turned around. Pretty sure I started screaming "NO NO NO NO NO" when I did that. I honestly wasn't sure when she did that attack. When she is coming at you, I knew it had a chance to be wing stab, double wing spin, or the baton smash thing. Really was just going blind hoping for the best
when she moves to the left, its the blockable downward wing slashes, when shes moving to the right, its the unblockable stabs.
honestly that fight has so many animations. sometimes she pulls off some god damn ridiculous cheese combos and an attack that forces you to block then immediately follows it up with a swoop dive (the kind without the lava drop) where either u had to anticipate it or die (her vaccum wing spin move is almost always followed by some sort of swoop dive)
my god. it took me around 20 tries on the easiest difficulty. I could not imagine doing it even on balanced difficulty.
Took a break from this because it was end of the school year. Now I’m back fighting my first dragon inside the mountain
