Learn how to defeat Hvitserkr the Bold, a Berserker boss in God of War Ragnarök. This guide covers his attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to win.
Walkthrough
- 1Find the Berserker Gravestone for Hvitserkr the Bold at Pilgrim’s Landing in western Vanaheim. Access this area by rowing boat.
- 2Kill the patrolling Reavers around the gravestone before interacting with it.
- 3Start the fight by using your most damaging Runic Attacks, cycling between the Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and Draupnir Spear to maximize damage and ensure quick cooldowns.
- 4When Hvitserkr summons Reaver/Nightmare enemies, deal with them quickly. If using a stun build, stun grab them to regenerate health, rage, or reduce Runic Attack cooldowns.
- 5Be prepared to block or parry Hvitserkr's melee attacks. Avoid attacks preceded by a red ring indicator by dodging or rolling.
- 6Dodge or roll away from Hvitserkr's Dive Attack (indicated by a red ring) once he is in the air, as he can alter his landing position.
- 7Block or parry the Ground Projectile attack, which involves Hvitserkr diving backward and casting a damage ball along the ground.
- 8Block or parry the Disease Explosion attack, where Hvitserkr raises his arms, generates a disease cloud, and slams them down. Be cautious as this can be executed quickly.
- 9Dodge or roll away from the shower of Disease Projectiles, usually indicated by a red ring. These cannot be blocked or parried.
Tips
- Hvitserkr's melee attacks and projectiles can inflict a disease debuff that slowly drains health. Avoid these where possible.
- The summoned Reavers and Nightmares can be a valuable source of regeneration or cooldown reduction if you utilize stun grabs with specific equipment.
- Focus on learning the tells for each attack to effectively dodge, block, or parry.
- The fight becomes difficult if you succumb to multiple disease attacks.
- Kratos XP: 1700
- Companion XP: 375
- Pommels of the Nine Realms (Blades of Chaos weapon attachment with Momentous Shift effect)
