The first one was a simple timed challenge: beat all the enemies before the clock runs out. But the challenges themselves are a lot more interesting than I was expecting them to be. I mean, ok, Muspelheim is a bunch of combat challenge rooms like we’ve seen in plenty of other games. Not something to sleep on if you like a challenge. (That unblockable quick-lunge is so heinous, argh.) I fought my way through each of them, and the final step of the quest was easily the toughest thing I took on in the entire game. They also each have a different move set that you’ll have to learn, though they do share some core moves. Each Valkyrie is powerful, extremely aggressive, and able to cover the width of the arena almost instantly. They’re also not really like any of the other fights in the game. The Valkyries are great fun to fight and drop some good rewards. It was a thrilling fight, and the first time in the game I’d faced the kind of intense, punishing boss that had me memorising attack patterns and cursing my tiny mistakes. I spent an age on that first Valkyrie - the Valkyrie Gunnr, as it happens - because I really wasn’t quite powerful enough to fight her. You’ll probably find the first one about three-quarters of the way through the story. (You should definitely make sure you’re ready, because each Valkyrie will mess your shit up.) Each one is standing alone in an arena, and you can begin the fight when you’re good and ready. There are eight Valkyries scattered throughout the realms, though most of them reside in Midgard. These three challenges each explore that in a different, smart way. You unlock so many more moves and abilities compared with where you start, and enemies begin to come in so many varieties and combinations, that each fight is entertaining in a slightly different way than the last one. I really like fighting in this game, particularly as the the combat system expands and matures in the mid-to-late game. I like those three challenges because of how well they complement one another, and because of how they pushed me to master God of War‘s combat. There are plenty of neat optional sidequests, and pretty much everything is worth checking out.įor this post, I wanted to focus on the three most substantial side-challenges – the Valkyries, the fire realm of Muspelheim, and the mist realm of Niflheim - because I had a great time finishing them all and think that, on the whole, they’re more interesting and well-done than your average video game side-content.
