09.05.2023The valkyries took time for me learn thier patterns and beating them. The queen valkyrie was a tough one but these bastards are hard as heck.

03.03.2023What would happen when you sit there let the Berserkers recover after defeating them.

26.02.2023Svipdagr and the sisters of illska are such a pain as you need to focus on three different enemies

26.02.2023Pro tip just max out your armor and weapons then bring some resu or berserker stone, you can take them easily.
Jared Sair Muñiz Arteaga
16.02.2023If you try to attack the same berserker to build stun in the Applecore gravestone, both of them will attack you :,v, at least in GMGOW, so DONT
Super 🐧
16.02.2023Go straight for the two sisters it is so much easier you can just continuously dodge svipdagr

08.02.2023Guardian shield is the best way to deal with berserkers, the counter attack disrupts their follow attack unlike dauntless shields double l1.Pair guardian with the dragon armor and the counter attacks deal more damage than your weapons.

17.01.2023Guardian shield is better than the dauntless sheild.. both can counter but only the guardian shield stops the enemy's attack after parrying as Kratos goes into his counter combo. Dauntless shield only does a single shield bash and against these berserkers it doesn't knock them back like regular grunts therefore their attack animation continues.

17.01.2023None of the normal bosses were hard compare to these beserkers

15.01.2023Can anyone please tell me, do you need to kill any /all the berserkers to get the gow ragnarok platinum trophy?
Mektek19
09.01.2023A lot of these Berserker fights are bad. The Valkyries we're way better. They were challenging but fair. Some of the Berserkers are battles with the enemy and the screen.
Sergio Romero
09.01.2023Dude they take a lot of health form your bars that the problem
ZacMax 218
09.01.2023Once the king covers you in bifrost it’s impossible
Gustavo Fring
09.01.2023The one in alfheim is the worst
Joseph Bailey
02.01.2023Best time to do this is after you complete the story
David Wells
01.01.2023This is why elden ring won game of the year the boss fights just aren't it
Joel Harris PT
30.12.2022I’ve done every fight on no mercy apart from the king, his health pool is ridiculous and im level 8 ffs. U basically do chip damage and all my weapons are either level 8 or 9.
Lane Mosser
27.12.20220:31 the censor actually made that funnier
Zain Khan
25.12.2022Those alfheim berserkers are the most unfun boss in an otherwise amazing game. You are fighting the game with the camera and orbs rather than the boss lmao
Robbie Taylor
25.12.2022Valkries are harder than berserkers
Chris Jimenez
25.12.2022Beat all of em, no res stone. Only tough one was the king.
Roy Van
25.12.2022The poison dude was in my opinion the easiest. While the normal poison enemies are the most annoying to kill
Brian Carroll
22.12.2022Press L3 + R3 for Spartan Rage Quit.
Brian Mulhern
22.12.2022So is the best way to go about berserkers is to wait until the end of game?
tlang14
22.12.2022Are they easier on give me a story mode. Just beat balanced mode

15.12.2022Sigrun is way tougher than these bosses.
Cody Averesch
15.12.2022These things are way more difficult than they need to be. I've killed two and failed miserably against all the rest.

15.12.2022multiple berserker in alfheim so pissed me

13.12.2022Can you leave the king fight
Its Turner
13.12.2022Or… just a thought 💭 how about we just lower the game difficulty 😂
Julian Musson
13.12.2022The best way to beat the 3 berserkers in alfheim is to ignore the one and focus on the two as they share a health bar. Once you clear them it’s an easier 1v1 battle.
