God of War Ragnarok continues on the path set by its predecessor, giving players challenging new obstacles to overcome. One such feature that the God of War franchise is known for is the famous boss fights. The latest installment continues to give us some challenging and diverse bosses to beat from the Norse pantheon.
The five hardest bosses to beat in God of War Ragnarok
5. Christ and the fog
This dynamic duo of Valkyries will remind you of the previous game and will remind you of how difficult it was to beat them. They use ranged and heavy melee attacks to fight Kratos. Expect to be attacked from multiple sides here, so defensive play is a preferable strategy. This boss fight will be a two-stage challenge, so it would be wise to prepare accordingly.
4. Odin
Odin is the archenemy in this God of War installment, and the game sets the mood for the final fight with him very effectively in a harrowing sequence that happens right before. He is not a bully like previous bosses in the game, but a true trickster, relying on magic-filled attacks and tricks to hurt Kratos. There are multiple rounds in this boss fight, the last one ending in his studio, where you can finally unleash a proper beating on him.

3.Nidhogg
Nidhogg is a giant snake that gnaws at the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Freya’s interaction with the roots of the Tree will awaken him and force you to fight. There are multiple stages to this fight, the first being with Nidhogg trapped inside the rift. During this phase, he will bite and scratch Kratos. Nidhogg is a formidable opponent with unique attacks and can deal Bifrost damage to Kratos, so be prepared. He tries to learn the attack patterns as soon as possible because he will be much faster in the third stage.
2. King Hrolf Kraki
King Hrolf Kraki is a berserker king and optional boss fight in Midgard. In order to fight him, you must first defeat all the other berserker bosses. King Hrolf incorporates his attacks and defenses but is more aggressive. Dodging and parrying are a must during this fight, as the berserker king will try to break through your blocks to deal massive damage. His attacks also incorporate elemental effects, such as fire, frost, shock, and more. Before the fight, practice and equip your chosen runic ability to maximize your chances of success.
1. gna
Valkyries are notoriously difficult to deal with in the God of War Norse series, and this part gives us a Valkyrie Queen Gna and a boss fight to remember. Defeating Valkyrie Queen will not be easy, even with maxed out gear and stats. Players have reported having trouble memorizing his attacks, which are very unpredictable. They are diverse and quite fast, which leaves you with a small window of time to avoid them, and they are all very damaging. You can’t block most of them, so you’ll need to memorize them so you know how and when to evade them. The most effective way to damage Gna is to dodge her long-range attack or parry her wide-wing attacks, retaliating immediately with a quick combo.
