Learn how to defeat Surt, the God of Fire, in Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. This guide covers combat strategies, rune puzzles, and boss fight mechanics.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter the area by approaching the door with the Surt symbol.
- 2Lorestone 1/5: After a short distance, take the right path to find a Lorestone in a cave.
- 3Optional: Return to the path split and take the left path. Before the bridge, find a stone head of Galina (Senua's mother) beneath a waterfall to the left of the bridge. Focusing on it triggers an optional story interaction.
- 4Cross the bridge and continue left. Before a Rune door, you will encounter enemies.
- 5If Valravn was fought first: 2 Swordsmen, then 1 Swordsman + 1 Mace enemy, then 2 Swordsmen + 1 Mace enemy.
- 6If Surt was fought first: 5 Swordsmen, appearing one at a time.
- 7Interact with the Rune door to start the puzzle.
- 8Rune Puzzle 1 (ᛉ): Take the path to the right of the door. Line up a straight pole with a Y-shaped wooden pole in front of people strung up on poles to form the ᛉ shape.
- 9Rune Puzzle 2 (ᚺ): Follow the path further. At the top of a hill, look back towards the door. Line up two poles, one with a protrusion, to form the ᚺ shape.
- 10Proceed through the Rune door and down a hill into a clearing. You will face more enemies.
- 11If Valravn was fought first: 1 Shield Wielder + 1 Swordsman, then 1 Mace enemy spawns after killing one, then 1 Swordsman spawns after killing a second, then 1 Shield enemy + 1 Mace enemy spawn after defeating all four.
- 12If Surt was fought first: 5 Swordsmen (first 2 one at a time, then 2 together, then the 5th).
- 13Inspect the Surt gate (door with Surt seal).
- 14To the left of the Surt gate, go through a wooden fence with an open door and up a hill.
- 15At the top of the hill, find a stone monolith surrounded by burned bodies. Focus on the Surt seal on the monolith to start a timed escape challenge.
- 16Immediately run back down the path towards the Surt gate, passing through the burning wooden gate to the next area. Failure to run quickly will result in death.
Tips
- The order of fighting Surt and Valravn impacts the difficulty and type of enemies encountered.
- Surt is generally considered an easier boss fight than Valravn.
- The Focus ability is gained after fighting the first of these two bosses, aiding in combat against tougher enemies.
- Be prepared to run immediately after activating the Surt gate monolith to avoid burning to death.
