Learn how to beat the Flawless Muspelheim trial in God of War Ragnarök. This guide details strategies for defeating the Gradungr and other enemies without taking damage.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the trial by interacting with the sword monument.
  2. 2
    You will face a variety of enemies including Raiders, Nightmares, Draugr, Draugr Brutes, and an elite Gradungr.
  3. 3
    The trial's objective is to defeat all 15 enemies without sustaining any damage.
  4. 4
    The elite Gradungr is the 12th enemy to spawn and is a bull-like beast that charges frequently.
  5. 5
    When the Gradungr appears, you will also have to contend with a couple of ranged enemies.
  6. 6
    Prioritize eliminating the ranged enemies first, as they are positioned out of melee range.
  7. 7
    Use the Leviathan Axe or Draupnir Spear to hit ranged enemies multiple times. The Draupnir Spear can be detonated for area damage.
  8. 8
    For the Gradungr, use your most damaging Light or Heavy Runic Attacks.
  9. 9
    Focus on killing the Gradungr as quickly as possible to avoid its attacks and projectiles from remaining ranged enemies.
  10. 10
    Most of the Gradungr's attacks can be blocked or parried. Red ring attacks must be dodged.
  11. 11
    Consider using the Stone Wall Shield for blocking multiple attacks, but remember it cannot block red ring attacks.
  12. 12
    Alternatively, you can interrupt Gradungr attacks with Runic Attacks or Relics just as the animation begins, but this is riskier.
  13. 13
    If you struggle, record your gameplay to identify and avoid specific attacks that are hitting you repeatedly.
Tips
  • The order of enemy spawns is always the same, allowing you to prepare for the Gradungr's arrival.
  • Use arrows and ranged attacks to quickly eliminate Nightmares.
  • Spamming damaging Runic Attacks on the Gradungr is highly effective.
  • Dealing with ranged enemies promptly prevents unexpected projectiles.
