Gna Boss Fight in Muspelheim

Ready to face the Valkyrie Queen? This guide breaks down Gna's toughest attacks in Muspelheim, from Bifrost Bolts to Magic Missiles, and tells you exactly how to dodge, block, and counter.

Alright, so you've beaten the main story and you're ready to take on one of the toughest challenges God of War Ragnarök has to offer: Gna, the Valkyrie Queen! She's waiting for you in Muspelheim, but you can't just waltz in. First, you need to finish the main story, and then complete the Favor 'The Last Remnants of Asgard.' Once that's done, you'll automatically get the 'Defend Your Valor' Favor, which is your ticket to the fight.

To find Gna, you'll need to head to The Crucible in Muspelheim. Make sure you've got both halves of the Muspelheim Seed to even get there. From The Crucible Mystic Gateway, head down a level, dash past the Blacksmith, and drop down again to the circular area with the Nornir Chest. From there, look to the southeast. You should spot a ledge you can grapple onto and a small hole right next to it. Squeeze through that hole, and you'll find yourself in a tight spot that looks like a dead end. Head to the ledge, look down, and you'll see a grapple point. Follow a couple more grapple points, and you'll finally reach the boss arena.

How to Beat Valkyrie Queen Gna – Attacks

Gna is incredibly aggressive and has a ton of attacks, many with similar animations but different counters. Patience is key here; wait for your openings, or you'll get punished hard.

Ranged Attacks

Bifrost Bolts (Dodge)

When Gna spreads her wings from a distance, she'll unleash a line of Bifrost bolts. Getting hit deals significant Bifrost damage, and the bolts linger on the ground, so avoid walking over them. You can easily dodge these by rolling or running to either side. Just be ready for a follow-up attack, which could be a Lunging Thrust early on, or almost anything else later in the fight. Keep your guard up!

Magic Missiles (Block)

This attack can really chip away at your health. Gna will leap back and dodge to the side, then launch either Magic Missiles (which track you) or Pink Missiles (which have a red-ring indicator). The problem? She can throw two of the same, or one of each, and it's tough to tell which is coming. Plus, she uses the same evasive animation for her Lunging Thrust, which needs a dodge. Magic Missiles MUST be blocked. If you get hit by the follow-up after a missed block, you're likely toast. Even blocking these deals Bifrost damage, so be extra cautious about subsequent attacks.

Pink Missiles (Dodge)

As mentioned, Gna leaps back and dodges sideways before firing Pink Missiles. These have a red-ring indicator and absolutely MUST be dodged. The tricky part is distinguishing this from the Magic Missiles, as the animations are similar before the projectiles appear.

Fire Sigil (Dodge)

Gna will turn sideways, raise her weapon with fire around the tip, and a pink sigil will appear. Freya might even shout, 'It's Sigil magic!' This attack has a brief red-ring indicator just before it launches, meaning you need to dodge. A wave of flames will then speed across the floor towards you, with some tracking. It's best to dodge this from a distance. Try to bait the flames in one direction and dodge the opposite way just before they reach you. If you're in melee range, rolling to the side as it approaches is your best bet, though you might still take some damage.

Sonic Shurikens (Dodge)

This is another ranged attack that can also be used up close. Gna leaps back, jumps into the air, and a brief red-ring indicator appears before she throws two green Sonic Shurikens. A simple dodge or roll to either side will avoid them. The worst part of this...
