Well done man. Valkyries were a bitch right.1st Platinum
Sigrun was definitely a bitch!Well done man. Valkyries were a bitch right.
You must have known someone who just started playing this recently and made you feel like going back and finishing this.Sigrun was definitely a bitch!
I actually finished the whole game and most of the side quests and Valks (except Sigrun) couple of years back. Just started again last month to beat Sigrun and then saw I had a few collectibles left, so finished up those.
Actually it was a combination of things - with seeing a review channel on youtube talk about going back to beat Sigrun; my nephew starting to play it when he was over at our house in Feb; and of course, talking with you while you were playing, while trying not to spoil the game for youYou must have known someone who just started playing this recently and made you feel like going back and finishing this.
Sigrun really stood no chance then.Actually it was a combination of things - with seeing a review channel on youtube talk about going back to beat Sigrun; my nephew starting to play it when he was over at our house in Feb; and of course, talking with you while you were playing, while trying not to spoil the game for you
What is a harvest difficulty?Currently on my NG+, harvest difficulty... Not looking forward to the Valkyries tbh... Great game though.
I've killed one in my first play through currently ongoing and did it when I was barely lvl 4 at Balanced difficulty. I finished the main story at lvl 5 while still carrying the first talisman you get. Overall I think unless you ramp up the difficulty level to the max the character gets overlevelled easily making things rather easy.Don't know I have it in me to take on the Valkeries
By end game level (on a normal difficulty) most of the valkyries will be fairly easy (comparatively speaking) I'd say...I only did one playthrough and didn't fight any of the valkyries. Did a bit of the other endgame stuff but then got distracted with other games too.
Are you saying I could level to the point where valkyries become easy?
I only have to beat her to get platinum but I can’t do itSigrun will still be a fecker though.

I beat all of the Valkyries on first playthrough on normal mode and I don't think it ever became easy for me. I didn't really do any serious levelling up though.I only did one playthrough and didn't fight any of the valkyries. Did a bit of the other endgame stuff but then got distracted with other games too.

If you don't care about the challenge, you could just lower it to easy and still get the plat.I only have to beat her to get platinum but I can’t do it
Dodge the feck out when she has the red circle around her head and have Boy shoot electric arrows at her when she is in the air. Get few hits in and get out of her way. Realm Shift + Runic Attacks was the way I beat her.I only have to beat her to get platinum but I can’t do it
In short the strat for every single Valk out there?Dodge the feck out when she has the red circle around her head and have Boy shoot electric arrows at her when she is in the air. Get few hits in and get out of her way. Realm Shift + Runic Attacks was the way I beat her.
Kind ofIn short the strat for every single Valk out there?
I looked that up after I killed that dark elf king while doing Alfheim. Red = get the feck out of the way always. The one time I fought that valk the boy didnt have upgraded armor that allows more damaged to aerial enemies - I guess they put that upgrade in place specifically for valks so I should get better results against next ones.I actually didnt realise the relevance of red circle around the head of the enemy until I looked up the videos on killing Sigrun.
There are 2-3 of them I can go for directly as of now, probably best to give them a go as I'm lvl 5 now compared to lvl 4 when I fought the last one. Still feel I'm missing some good stuff compared to you guys.Why dont you kill a few for yourself and see whether the strat works as well as I make it sound
The best armour you can get in base game is the Mist armour you can craft from materials found in Nilfheim. Needs a bit of grinding though. Most Valks in Midgard can be done at your level. The ones in Muspelheim and Nilfheim are more tricky, particularly the one in Nilfheim as you need to also keep an eye on your mist poison meter along with your health. Not too difficult, just a bit more tricky.I looked that up after I killed that dark elf king while doing Alfheim. Red = get the feck out of the way always.

Play NG+ and get Zeus armourI was pretty underwhelmed by the main story in terms of boss fights. But beating the valkyries including their queen Sigrun was well worth it. By far the best part of the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame you can't fight them again once you beat them, as even when I was dying I enjoyed each and every attempt. So fast paced with one move after another. Fantastic boss designs.
After killing Sigrun I saw that real tear was still showing, and for a second I got giddy thinking that fight can be done over and over again, only find some 'Dust of Realm' come out of it.
That's going too far.Play NG+ and get Zeus armour
Great postI was pretty underwhelmed
That was the most ageing few hours of my gaming life!Once the Valkyrie queen was down
Yeah it's pretty stressful but I think Kratos was well buffed up at that point. Think the key is in using as many special attacks as possible and have the item that slows down time. Because that bitch is fecking rapid.That was the most ageing few hours of my gaming life!
I took it slow. Mission, explore a fair bit, rinse and repeat.Just started this and I am in awe.. A question on the strategy, did you guys finish the main story first and then went about the side quests or did you take your time with the main journey and explored?
I did it the first way and regretted it. I rushed through the main story which isn't too long anyway and was left doing all the side stuff which I needed for the platinum. Apart from the Valkyrie side quest which is so much fun that you actually wanna do it forever the rest of it can be a chore so best explore as much as you can.Just started this and I am in awe..

Beating them on Normal is fine. I never felt exhausted from those fights because they were so much fun and the combat is so great in this. I actually wished there was a challenge mode where you could just fight them again and again. Especially the likes of Gondul and Queen Sigrun. Gondul was the second valk I fought after the first one which is like a tutorial. That was a proper ass whooping for a long time. Easily the toughest one apart from Sigrun.I'm usually fine at games but the Valkeries were a step too far for me. Had to lower the difficulty to normal to beat a couple. Felt like a cheap move. Gave up after.
Adore the game but that's one thing I couldn't do.

Sigrun can actually be ok if you get a decent RNG but the biggest issue is her health and the amount of ways you can be one shot. Not making a mistake for such a long fight is the main challenge.
I feel dirty playing games that allow you to change difficulty.I feel all dirty playin games on normal mode
I was ok with the Valkyries. They are pretty predictable and with their moves and once you master the timing with what they are gonna hit you with, then it comes a lot more easier. The last one (I think it’s called Sigrun) though was an absolute slog. Took me at least over 15-20 attempts to beat it. One of my controllers ran out of battery midway through one of the attemptsI'm usually fine at games but the Valkeries were a step too far for me.
