The Berserker Gravestone fights in God of War Ragnarok are considered some of the toughest fights in the entire game on par with even the Valkyrie fights from the previous Game of War (2018).
Berserker bosses are designed so that Kratos would have to fight each enemy in a variety of settings and invoke various problems of combat: evasion, health, resources, and other issues. In this article, we rate all the Berserker boss fights according to the level of difficulty.
King Hrolf Kraki – The Final Encounter
Currently, the most difficult boss of this game is King Hrolf Kraki, who has the Berserkers behind him.
His attack patterns never cease and since many of them hit multiple times, combined with that AoE damage he deals out, this fight to the death is more of a true test of sheer patience and resourcefulness.
King Hrolf also heals players’ health, so players have no choice but to continue the attack without neglecting defense.
Attack Variety
King Hrolf uses quick hits and uses range which means that you need to try to dodge and block.
Health Regen
This aspect of him being able to get back to health gives a twist that should be switched up to offense and defense.
Stamina Management
This effectively puts a lot of conditions on the players and only those who balance their Spartan Rage and Runic Attacks can do it.
Dodging Mastery
His heavy, impossible-to-avoid strikes can only be followed by counteractions, with accurate timing.
Fraekni the Zealous – A Close Second
Fraekni the Zealous is accepted to be one of the hardest Berserkers out there because of her speed and her ability to attack frequently.
She is rather elusive and doesn’t allow players to hold their ground and relax for a second. Due to that, all the attacks at Fraekni are quick, which creates the need for players to respond quickly and launch a counter-attack.
Speed
Her ballet-like dance requires fast reactions all the time.
Unblockable Attacks
These can be devastating if you do not avoid them; you must avoid These can help or hurt if avoided perfectly.
Combat Phases
Again, Fraekni constantly changes types of attacks, so it will be difficult to find a pattern in her actions.
Low Recovery Time
They have to be quick to identify moments when it is possible to organize a counterattack.
Svipdagr & Sisters of Illska – Group Chaos
Svipdagr and the Sisters of Illska provide a multi-target battle that can overwhelm players. Facing three enemies simultaneously, each with its unique attack style adds layers of difficulty. Managing crowd control and avoiding being surrounded is crucial for success in this fight.
Coordination
Dealing with multiple enemies requires sharp focus.
Elemental Attacks
The sisters use elemental-based attacks, adding extra layers of difficulty.
Focus Management
Deciding which enemy to focus on can make or break the battle.
Area Control
The arena becomes chaotic quickly, so managing space is vital.
Beigadr the Feared – Elemental Onslaught
Beigadr the Feared brings a unique challenge due to his powerful lightning-based attacks. His strikes hit hard and can stun players, leaving them vulnerable to further damage.
Beigadr’s combat style forces players to be mindful of their positioning and timing, as one mistake can lead to heavy damage.
Lightning Strikes
His AoE lightning attacks can catch players off guard.
Stun Potential
Consequently, to be struck in ignorance in this fight is to breathe one’s last.
Positional Awareness
Their movements have to be kept alive in order not to be caught by shockwaves.
Health Management
During this battle characters’ health is hard to regain; thus, sustaining damage should be done only when necessary.
How To Prepare For Berserker Boss Fights
Styling is crucial when it comes to overcoming Berserker-related combat. Also, players should make sure they are of the correct player level and equipped with good weapons and armor.
Mastery of Kratos’ Runic Attacks, Spartan Rage, and shields will help an awful lot in the accomplishment of this goal.
The Role Of Strategy In The Berserker Fights
ERP has a big role in these fights where strategy is very influential. Every Berserker boss in particular brandishes different behaviors in their attacks and their vulnerable points.
Studying their actions, projecting the next action and counter-action is the key that may determine victory and defeat.
