She has a couple of moves where she rushes in and thrusts her right wing at you. Know when to block, when to parry, and when to dodge. It makes anticipating moves and dodging her attacks much easier.
Tips For Beating Sigrun On Give Me God of War Difficulty I’m glad I didn’t because finishing this game on Give Me God of War gave me a great feeling of accomplishment. I’ve contemplated quitting and starting all over on easy mode. Give Me God of War was NOT easy, and has broken many gamers into giving up and questioning their life choices. I beat her and got my two well-deserved trophies and screenshots. It took me a while to figure out that once my field of view was impaired, I would need to run in close to her to see what she was about to do.īut that Wednesday night, after about three hours of dying, I finally did it. This is when I would die the most because once I was blinded, Sigrun can follow it up with just about anything. When this happens your view distance is much shorter making tracking her and anticipating her next move difficult. Most of her attacks can be blocked or parried, but she has one particular move that temporarily blinds you. The moveset doesn’t change, it’s about reading her attack correctly and responding appropriately. I am not kidding when I say the fight is exhausting: ten minutes of absolute focus, maybe less if I die faster, for hours on end? It wore me down.Įach death was a practice session though and as the nights wore on I’d be able to consistently knock her health down more and more. I’d set the controller down during those defeats, put my head in my hands, and just rest a minute. A few times she’d have one or two bars left and I’d flub a parry or forget to dodge and I’d be toast. Sometimes I’d die near the beginning of the fight, sometimes I’d get her health down about halfway. The fight lasts about 10 minutes, but to get there it took me dying over and over again, over hours and hours across several nights. The battle against Valkyrie Queen Sigrun was similar to the previous 8 Valkyrie fights in that it is an exercise of patience, stamina, and muscle memory. I finished up every other objective in every region and I was not about to let this one tough battle stop me from getting 100% of the game and the last two coveted trophies. The story mode was complete, but I still had one last thing to do, and that was to kill the Valkyrie queen. The above screenshot is the only proof of my achievement. Sadly, there is no trophy for completing the game on Give Me God of War mode. It took a long time but once I was able to craft better gear and raise my level, the game became easier (but only slightly) and way more fun.

I’d be lying if said I wasn’t tempted to just quit, start over on easy mode, and then just burn through the game.
