In God of War Ragnarok, the Berserker Gravestones are just like the Valkyrie fights of previous games, optional encounters.
These are among gravestones found in the realms and upon Kratos using the Hilt of Skofnung on the grave, it opens a boss fight of the identified power.
As it has already been stated, the main ‘objective’ of the game is defeating all the Berserkers should players want to finish the game and gain access to some of the most powerful ‘bonuses’.
Where Are All Berserker Gravestones Located
They are ten scattered across the realms and each contains a tough enemy known as the Berserker Gravestones.
All gravestones are located in Midgard, Alfheim, Vanaheim, and more; some are only available after making certain story progressions or even solving a puzzle.
An average level of gear along with adequate battle skills should not be expected of the players to deal with the bosses.
1. Midgard – Lake of Nine
Berserker Gravestone at the Lake of Nine is near the King’s grave. It can be visited rather soon in the game after obtaining the Hilt of Skofnung item of The Witcher.
2. Svartalfheim – Nidavellir
In Svartalfheim the Berserker Gravestone is located in Nidavellir, the Dwarven Blacksmiths’ city. Go to the docks, the gravestone will be located near the water.
3. Alfheim – The Barrens
Alfheim has one in The Barrens – an area that can only be unlocked after a player has finalized specific segments of the plot. Seek the grave in the sand of the hills.
4. Vanaheim – Pilgrim’s Landing
Berserker Gravestones in Pilgrim’s Landing is a little hard to crack, however, one is placed in Vanaheim. This boss is one of the last and it means that the player has to be careful and launch a few plans.
Where to Find Berserker Gravestones
To be able to communicate with the Berserker Gravestones, you’ll need the Hilt of Skofnung, which is gotten in the course of the story. Once you get the hilt, you can go back to any tombstone that you want to fight with. Every Berserker presents himself as quite a nemesis, and he spawns several minions as well. Berserkers should attack champions first, then begin to attack the minions, to try and clear them out for the main Berserker.
Preparation of Equipment for Berserker Battle
Level Up Gear
These battles call for high-level gears to enable players to withstand some of the brutalities that go with the game. It is recommended that Kratos’ armor, weapon, and abilities power up to the highest level possible before engaging an enemy with a gravestone.
Focus on Health and Rage
As for tips – be sure to stock on the Rage Stones and Resurrection Stones as a Berserker fight is intense and can take quite a lot of time.
Rune Management
Call the best runic attacks possible because such moments are the best times to gain a heap on Berserkers.
Strategy
Prepare for very frequent evasive maneuvers because these characters are highly damaging and can strike in several directions.
What You Earn After Defeating Berserkers
When players kill Berserkers they get some of the finest rewards in the game such as amulets, enchantments, and armor.
These items can cause quite a boost to Kratos’ strength and combat prowess and can make the fights in the Berserker Gravestone worthwhile.
Also, all the Berserker fights are required for the completionist 100% quest completion if that’s what the player desires.
