And if you’ve ever encountered your first Valkyries, you may have wondered how you could manage to defeat them. Do not panic, we have prepared a guide for you.
The Valkyries, while totally optional, are certainly some of the toughest adversaries in 2018’s excellent God of War.. Nine in number, including the memorable Queen of the Valkyries, each of them will offer you a high challenge, particularly in the most advanced difficulty levels. If they may seem unkillable at first sight, be reassured: this is not the case. With the right equipment, and above all by taking the time to observe their movements to learn how to counter them, you too can overcome this challenge. In order to help you in this difficult and rewarding quest, we offer you a complete guide to defeating all the Valkyries in God of War.
Gunnr
Gunnr should be the first Valkyrie you encounter on your adventure. She is at Midgardin the hidden chamber of the area of the Body of Thamur. If she is certainly the simplest Valkyrie of all, her attacks are still formidable. We advise you to equip yourself sufficiently to be at the level 5 or even 6, before going through the door of his lair. A resurrection stone will also not be refused in an emergency, as with all Valkyries fights.
Gunnr has four different moves:
To defeat her, do not hesitate to abuse the electric arrows of Atreus as soon as they are available. Gunnr is fast, so there’s no point trying to chase her, you’ll only expose yourself. Wait for her to charge at you, block, parry or dodge her attack, and counterattack with a few hits. Use your Spartan Rage when your health becomes critical. With a little patience and control, you will be able to overcome it without problems.

Kara
Kara is located at Midgardin the hidden chamber of the area of the River. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to summon enemies to help it beat you. We advise you to equip yourself sufficiently to be at the level 6 or even 7, before going through the door of his lair. Also, waiting until you’ve progressed far enough in the story to unlocking kratos second weapon would be a good idea to inflict area damage. A resurrection stone will also not be refused in an emergency, as with all Valkyries fights.
Kara has three different moves:
To defeat her, do not hesitate to abuse the electric arrows of Atreus as soon as they are available. Kara is not as fast as Gunnr so feel free to be more aggressive with her. Its attacks inflict a lot of damage but are less numerous than for Gunnr, the main threat will come from the other enemies she summons. Do not hesitate to neutralize them before continuing your fight against Kara. Use your Spartan Rage when your health becomes critical. Again, we highly recommend having Kratos’ second weapon to deal area damage.

Geirdriful
Geirdriful is located at Midgardin the hidden chamber of the area of the Foothills. Its particularity lies in its ability to dazzle you to attack you by surprise. We advise you to equip yourself sufficiently to be at the level 6 or even 7, before going through the door of his lair. A resurrection stone will also not be refused in an emergency, as with all Valkyries fights.
Geirdriful has six different moves:
To defeat her, do not hesitate to abuse the electric arrows of Atreus as soon as they are available. He will be more than ever your best ally for this fight, especially to interrupt his blinding attack. As soon as you see Geirdriful preparing an air attack, order your son to shoot him. Take advantage of the moments when she remains on the ground to attack her, and use your Spartan Rage when your health becomes critical.

Olrun
Olrun is located in the hidden chamber of the region ofAlfheim. She should remind you of Gunnr in most of her moves, and has more or less the same speed.

A resurrection stone will also not be refused in an emergency, as with all Valkyries fights.
Olrun has five different moves:

Gondul
Göndul is located at Muspelheim, at the top of the mountain. You will only be able to reach this Valkyrie after having passed the 5 arenas of the kingdom and the tests of which they are composed. The fight that awaits you is likely to be complex and will require a lot of patience and skill.. We advise you to equip yourself sufficiently to be at the level 7 before passing the door of his lair, and having a high level leviathan ax to abuse ice damage. Armor resistant to fire damage could also come in handy, as well as a resurrection stone in case of emergency, as with all Valkyries fights.

Hildr
Hildr is located in the heart of Ivaldi’s labyrinth in the kingdom of Niflheim. The fight against this Valkyrie is not the most difficult, far from it, but his main difficulty will lie in the mist of the labyrinth. We therefore advise you to explore Niflheim well in order to unlock Ivaldi armor before you attack her. A overall level of 6 or 7 should be enough to face him if you wear this armor, but do not forget the resurrection stone in case of emergency, as with all Valkyries fights. Note also that your mist resistance bar will be regenerated in the event of a victory against Hildr, which should allow you to get out of the maze without any problem.
Hildr has four different moves:
To defeat her, do not hesitate to abuse the electric arrows of Atreus as soon as they are available. You can afford to be aggressive, but counterattacks will also work really well, especially if you have Ivaldi’s armor and can afford to drag out the fight. Use your Spartan Rage when your health becomes critical.
Awards
Sigrün
Sigrün is the newest Valkyrie in the gamewhich you can only face after defeating the other eight and which awaits you at the Valkyrie Council. We are not going to lie to you, this is the hardest fight in the game. Sigrün has all of her sisters’ attacks, so you will need to be alert to each of them and remember which attacks are dangerous and which attacks can be interrupted. Use the list of previous attacks to help you, equip yourself to reach the level 7 or even 8. We recommend for example theIvaldi’s armor upgraded to the max, as well as runes specializing in protection or damage against Valkyries. The talisman allowing you to slow down time will also be very useful to you, as well as the traditional stone of resurrection. As a bonus, plan several very resistant controllers and soundproof walls to avoid being visited by your neighbors following your excesses of anger.
To defeat her, do not hesitate to abuse the electric arrows of Atreus as soon as they are available. Pay attention to each of his attacks, prefer patience and counter-attacks to aggression. Use your Spartan Rage when your health gets critical, and honey for your throat.
