@Pelonio Honestly, it's like they're made to be aggressively frustrating. The anxiety I've been having dealing with when fighting them comes in spades, I've only been able to beat 3 after nearly or possibly more than 50 attempts hopping from one to another trying my hand with them.
I’ve fought three so far and all I’ll say is that as much as you may want to be aggressive throughout the fight, you gotta stay patient and time those blocks, dodges and parries as well as you can. Don’t assume what the berserker is going to do. Even just waiting a small second to make sure you can identify which attack is coming is a game changer.
The 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.
It’s also worth mentioning that when you get King Hrolf’s health low enough he switches to covering himself with the bifrost status element for the remainder duration of the fight until he’s defeated.
Alot of them just feel like end game bosses so make sure you max out your weapon and armour upgrades at least. No point in doing a boss if your damage output is low.
at least, we are prepared in fighting the king. Not so for Gna. So many new move, so many guided projectile, so many area effect attack, and we have to remember all of that in a single fight
Can’t stress enough BELIEVE IN YOUR PARRIES, it’s by far the best way to build up the stun meter, I’d also recommend using the guardian shield as you get a better lock on with parrying projectiles Also the “wrath” rage is the best option (with maxed out rage from blood horns) as it basically gives you 4 combo breakers & guaranteed hits
If you've come here looking for quick tips but don't have the time to watch the whole video don't fret! I've condensed everything you need to know in order to beat the berserkers! -Keep hitting them until they die.
To interrupt the blue circle, the onlsaught shield is op. You are gonna run automatically to the berseker that’s if you feel that you are not gonna make it on time
Sums up the average skill level of this fanbase. No wonder they think this game is better than Elden Ring. Probably cant beat the first boss there - and thats the easiest soulslike since demons souls lol Sigrun - the most overhyped boss in gaming history
Gná's fight was wayy harder than the King Berserker's if I'm being honest. He just had an insane amount of health while Gná had so many fast moves that looked EXACTLY alike one another but were either un-blockable or un-dodgeable.
@@SK-ix8jb tbh for the King it’s just a 10 minute cycle of dodging for about 5-6 moves but at the same time staying close to him, and then attacking for like 5 hits. Most of my deaths were just from me being unlucky or him somehow attacking me through my runic attacks
Use the onslaught shield for these fights as Kratos will automatically run towards the enemy during the double blue ring attacks. He will even sometimes avoid the damage from those moves if you are close enough to them after they have completed the move and you're still charging at them. Edit: For the poison berserker, use the spear on the nightmares. Detonating a lodged spear instantly removed them from the battlefield, making this fight significantly easier. Using the blades isn't as reliable as you can and most likely will take damage as you try to pull them in.
The axe is crap against berserkers. Use blades of chaos, bash triangle to charge the blade then hit R2. For more than double damage, Make sure all your blades moves have been upgraded for increased burn. Wait for the right moment, use realm shift, activate immolation. You're welcome
@@royvan6224 there is definitely not a best weapon to use against these guys. The spear is SUPER fast, can steal elements and can be thrown like the axe to interrupt some of the berserkers’ attacks. The blades are super fast, close range, with the burn element doing significant damage if you build it up, great runic abilities, and lots of options to use when you want to close the distance safely. The axe while slow, deals considerable damage with a more passive element to assist you, and AMAZING runics to interrupt the berserkers (wrath of the frost ancient, breath of thamur, levaithan’s roar, etc.) Don’t even get me started on the awakening for each weapon’s no hit boost. Spear does EVEN more stun, the blades build burn on EACH attack, the axe gets a secondary hit that ALSO freezes the enemy, AND they all can stun the enemy at close range to allow you to attack. Sorry about the paragraph. * *There’s just too many option to limit yourself to one weapon imo*
My problem with the berserkers that have multiple is that when you are attacking one you don't know when or how the other one will attack you. Because even though Atreus/Fraya are agroing it. It will attack you sometimes without much warning
I’ve noticed that a decent amount of the berserkers usually attack with a parry-able attack and then a unblock-able attack, so if you learn their attack patterns it’s not as hard
Ive been fighting them using bare hands with poison from lunda armor. Im more comfortable that way. Fighting is way too long but more fun. Im stuck with the 3 berserker cos u need axe sometimes haha
Guardian 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.
Those 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
These works in 1st playthrough but in new game +, things are different. I used fury instead of valor which is more useful for me. And making use of realm shift when necessary. I am not perfect with the play so i also use berserker res stone when needed.
I'm stuck with this 2nd last boss for platinum in no mercy for few hours tried with 20% boss hp left gosh, tried lower for balance easy kill just one try...any tips and op build guys?
Use a high def build (Steinbjorn chest, surtr scorched wrist & surtr scorched waist all max lvl.) For amulet use nifleheim set, svartalheim set, greater regeneration essence, regeneration essence and crest of desperate heroics. Use freya for high stun build Leviathan axe with grips af fallen alchemist Blades of chaos with pommels of the 9 realms Draupnir with hind of volatile might Onslaught shield with rond of restoration Relic with hilt of angravadall. All max lvl and should help you survive the fight with both Gna and King
Can anyone help me? I'm starting to get only red and purple health bar berserkers and enemies but idk why. My first berserker was yellow but for example the svartalfheim duo is red for me. Why???
If you beat every mission and side missions, collect all collectibles, open all chests, these berserker bosses are extremely easy. Each can be beaten less than a minute
Guardian 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.
I’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.
@@majidkhan89 yup, put the perks set too, the one you put three things for a perk activation, forgot what it's called there are two perk sets will help a lot with melee build
A 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.
The side quests in this game are harder than the actual boss fights themselves
Yeahhhhh that's how 2018 was
well, if the main boss is gated behind a difficult challenge many people wouldn't be able to finish the game
Nothing is hard in this game. Same with 2018. The OG GoW's are harder...hitting the ravens are harder than any of the bosses lol
@@doomdude69 imagine a world where we have different people with different skill level.
LITERALLY WHAT IVE SAID THIS WHOLE GAME
Does like 4 runic attacks
Berserker only loses 2 % health
Gets hit twice
Dies
exactly
RIGHT?????!!!!!!!!
And what's even funnier is that most berserkers strike faster than kratos can recover so the first hit is usually game over.
@Pelonio Honestly, it's like they're made to be aggressively frustrating. The anxiety I've been having dealing with when fighting them comes in spades, I've only been able to beat 3 after nearly or possibly more than 50 attempts hopping from one to another trying my hand with them.

gna and king each took me like 2 hour to beat. but valkyrie queen from 2018 game took me like 3 month to beat.
The queen from the 2018 game was just so op. Took me around the same time hahaha
The combat was more limited in 2018. That had something to do with it
@@rover5058 IMO it was a balance problem. Limited combat requires more limited health bar. Valkyrie queen was just too hard.

Svipdagr and the sisters of illska are such a pain as you need to focus on three different enemies
Play on easiest difficulty, fight them after finished main story(with freya),upgrade tools on max and learn moves
The only ones that were a problem were the ones that featured 2 or more berserker. Only Sigrun was more frustrating than those.
My problem with the berserkers that have multiple is that when you are attacking one you don't know when or how the other one will attack you. Because even though Atreus/Fraya are agroing it. It will attack you sometimes without much warning
Having more then one enemy in a boss fight and it’s badly designed just feels like artificial difficulty
Alfheim Trio are the most annoyed Berserkers.
Easiest way: First of all kill the two flying mages, afterwards the berserker himself gets smoked real quick.

And in the setting if you enable mini boss checkpoint. When you got a boss half hp and you die the boss is still gonna be half hp.
Try to hit them and not get hit back, seamed to work pretty well for me
