Fighting Hrolf w/ Sparta set, aspis shield and all burdens is the most difficult challenge I’ve ever completed across any game. Really appreciate that SMS added this build into the game so dedicated players can truly put their skills to the test! If anyone completes this challenge send me a link on Twitter so I can watch it ay? twitter.com/SmvR_4
Working my way through bosses doing this rn. This fight was incredible to watch man. The length of this fight with no mistakes is truly amazing. As far as I'm concerned, you've officially beat God of War Ragnarok.
@@thegreatgamingkid8252 yeah I've beat the game already on gmgow am doing a second run then I'll start Ng+ i think am a fairly decent player so I'll try this challenge too
That weave and dodge by SmvR is by far the most creative move I have ever seen ANY gamer pull off. I can only imagine how long he practiced perfecting that move.
Would love to see a second SmvR channel with some uncut gameplay. I’m in awe of the skill involved in playing at this level, but it always leaves me wanting more; given the time invested there must be plenty of content and I’m sure there’s an audience for it.
I'm a huge GOW fan, especially of the last 2 games. I've played them so much and gotten really good at playing them both. Now, you are on a whole other level to me, I wish I was just a quarter as good as you. I watch alot of your videos because I think it's amazing how you can become so adept at this game, you make the most out of every single move, it's utterly phenomenal, I love watching your videos.
I’ve been trying this for days since the update came out. You’re unbelievable talented this one of the hardest feats to accomplish. Well done mate you’re a beast!
I have been a big fan of your GoW combat skills. Your combats are not just to defeat the opponent but the cinematics that is portrayed in the fight is amazing. Your timing of attack's and blocks are unmatched. I am pretty sure SMS took a lot of inspiration from your combats to make GoWR NG+ gears and make it even more challenging. I have shown your videos to the people at work who have nothing to do with video games and even they were stuck to the screen and didn't leave until fight was completed. I want to Thank You for your work. You really make Kratos look like a real SPARTA!!!
I can feel my heart racing just from watching!! Insane combos and your precision is immaculate words can’t describe how insane this is. Keep it up man!
well my first boss was green colored king boss was at Svartalfheim, I forgot that guy's name. It was my first playthrough, and somehow it took me just 3 tries to defeat that guy at gimme god of war difficulty, without taking any damage. I was fucking surprised myself, ngl 💀
@@abhirupkundu2778 That's good that you did that. Right now, I haven't finished the main story yet but I am trying to learn King Hrolf's patterns in Valhalla whenever you do face him and his berserkers. His new mechanics do make him really hard to beat on GMGOW without taking damage, especially with that one move where he flies up and then sends those energy blasts at you that you're supposed to dodge. Those always get me. But, I do believe Valor and the Fury rage modes do help the most when it comes to not taking damage though.
@@ceejaydawkins7306 the funniest thing to me is how I destroy solo bosses, but fumble everytime during group fights. I just don't underatand how t easily fight the groups of enemies without fumbling, it's so tough😭
After seeing this video, I think that Hrolf might actually be harder than GNA now. Impressive stuff bro, I honestly wouldn't have the focus and patience to go to these lengths on a boss fight.
I really do believe that there are extraordinary people exist in this world, and you are one of them! You are extremely gifted and your talent is admirable. I wish you the best in everything. You got yourself a new fan in me 😊
After watching your phenomenal playing I think I can beat him in NG+ GMGOW difficulty. Those projectiles… hop to the side, hop back with counter. Thank you!
I still don't understand what's happening, even when the video speed is lowered. I killed this guy with no damage in Give me no Mercy, but these techniques are just unreal. So much to learn.
@@TechDiffuse Nothing's happening. That side step, plus back step+light attack button is the only thing that guy's doing. It's pretty easy to do technically, but when it comes to a real fight, it may or may not be easy depending on how fast your fingers can move on a controller or a keyboard and mouse. Mind you this youtuber must've played the game a lot of times already, before reaching this level.
Breathtaking execution- & it IS an execution,wow!So inspiring (Edit: I just finally managed to no-damage Sigrun!😅 ). Thank you for all your hard work on these masterclasses.🙏🏻🏆
Bruh, I literally spent 3 hours dying to this asshole on new game plus and he just finesses him like this lol love it! 2:26 Hrolf just stands there for a minute and thinks “damn, I haven’t hit this fool once….”
I love the amount of dedication and time you put into your videos and especially this one, I believe I'm going to attempt this myself at some point, I've already started ng++ so I need to get through the story again etc but regardless I love your content bro, keep this up!
that was exhausting just to watch! has to be the most on your toes either norse game requires you to be, by far. probably more than many games, for that matter. a god like performance.
I just cant get my head around people being this good and not making any mistakes. Played game 80 hours now, can never be this consistent. I'm just happy I managed to do all the Musphenheim challenges haha
Those challenges are impossible to do without taking any damage, unless all you're doing is spamming that heavy attack button with the spear, and throwing the lighter enemies into the lava pit. For the rest of them, if you're just running and taking a spot where all enemies are visible, then it's easier.
My man, i'm trying beat this game in gmgw while getting everything upgraded and i'm getting killed every time, and you just do it with level 1, a true master.
Here it is the challenge to end all challenges. I mean other than doing this blindfolded idk what's left in the 8 realms. I love the slight delays on the parry counter so you use it as an extra invincibility frame or to cancel a red ring attack.
I just spent like 3hrs on this boss with no burdens, normal armors, and on regular new game+. You are absolutely terrifying. Good shit. Edit: Just got to 6:45 where you just walked up to Hrolf mid-attack call as shit. You're a menace.
Those negating attacks are super new to me. That double ice/fire/shock wavy bolt attack the Berserkers do gets me often. I usually try to time it well for a quick double dodge but now i see i can negate the second following bolt.
Yo wassup, yesterday I beat hrolf kraki on gmgow+! Btw you're skills are crazy bro! You play so well. Also, are you planning on making a video like this but fighting the three berserkers?
@@YEY0806 I’ve beaten Gnà no less than 6 times in GMGOW+. I beat Hrolf for the second time today. It’s wild how he basically doesn’t ever have to close in on you with his added AOEs and ranged moves.

I will definitely attempt this challenge 🔥🔥🔥
If SmvR says this is the most difficult challenge he faced am not even gonna attempt 😭😭😭💀
@Nagato Uzumaki Ik. I might try it tho. Sounds like a fun challenge especially when you’ve already played through the game normally.
@@thegreatgamingkid8252 yeah I've beat the game already on gmgow am doing a second run then I'll start Ng+ i think am a fairly decent player so I'll try this challenge too
My anxiety was through the roof when the entire health bar was bifrost lol absolute madness. Epic video bro
EXACTLY! I was like one hit and it’s all over 😂
1 hit/failed parry = dead regardless of bifrost 😂 this fight was intense!
@@SmvR yeah that's exactly right
Bifrost becomes irrelevant when you're wearing the Spartan set because literally everything one-shots you anyway.
Bro hes playing with level 1 armour on gmgow any hit from any enemy is instant death lol
I love how he knows every move he’s doing
He’s not just spamming dodge he telegraphs Hrolf’s attacks and counters them
Mortals like me would never be on that level or even be close
Also since he’s using all burdens every time he dodges he gets slowed down
the reason hes not spamming dodge is because of the burden if he does a full dodge hell take damage from that burden and die because of the armour set
@@Poja_0811 hone and again as always
This is not a fight. This is an art.
An eternally priceless art piece, one of the century.
2:26 Hrolf was so amazed at your play he literally stops moving for 3 seconds
Nah, that was "If he just dodges and counters everything, what's the point anymore"
2:25 King Hrolf Gigachad moment taking all them hits 🗿
legit looked confused like "wtf do i do now? nothins working"
Kratos: Why won't you DIE!!
King Hrolf Kraki: Runic armour Son! It hardens in response to Runic trauma!
lmao
I noticed when playing him that sometimes he’ll just stand there for a couple seconds in one spot then hop away
2:14 the weaving and dodging techniques is unreal man 😮💨
Goddam. . I'll be panicked and just flail around
Bobbing and weaving like a boxer lol
How to u do that?
That weave and dodge by SmvR is by far the most creative move I have ever seen ANY gamer pull off. I can only imagine how long he practiced perfecting that move.
Yo that was nasty
One thing that's make me love your gameplay style is, that you do not need to "brake" the game to show all the potential you have, nicely done man !!
Gbg does not brake the game cause he needs to and it takes skill to do it
BREAK NOT BRAKE
@@sprint5099GBG challenge: Try not to do a runic cancel for 0.00000001s (IMPOSSIBLE)

8:34 bro that theme music will forever give me chills, it’s just so good 🔥🔥

This is truly the most incredible thing to come out of this update. Amazing feat, can’t believe you did it so soon after the update. Congrats!
I’m learning so much about boss fights from this guy. New subscriber earned💪🏽
Cleanest, smoothest, best god of war 2018/Ragnarok player in my opinion. You’re insane at any game you touch bro
Absolutely amazing... 8+ minutes of an absolute true God of GoW. Congratulations!! 🎉
God tier gameplay as usual, Hrolfs new moves look absolutely wicked yet you mastered them all, GG.
You will master them soon.

Not even close
gna is way harder than Hrolf Kraki
You have ELEVATED!!! What an incredible show!!
Your so calm and calculated when your playing 🔥 So good man, Absolutely flawless style as usual bro 👌🔥
You are the king of this game, bro.
Bro at 2:26 he's just standing there like he's thinking "nothing is working on this guy WTF!" 😂
You're absolutely nuts...and it's awesome to watch.
I really do believe that there are extraordinary people exist in this world, and you are one of them! You are extremely gifted and your talent is admirable. I wish you the best in everything. You got yourself a new fan in me 😊
Its all practice, nothing extraordinary! thank for your support!
Practice shows dedication and patience, another admirable trait 👍👍
Seeing everything you're doing after playing. Holy spirit impart this ability into my life
After watching your phenomenal playing I think I can beat him in NG+ GMGOW difficulty. Those projectiles… hop to the side, hop back with counter. Thank you!
i like how hrolf subtitle name doesnt have King. Like mimir said he's not a king, just called himself one because he killed the previous king
never knew most of these techniques for dodging and negating attacks, very impressive!
I still don't understand what's happening, even when the video speed is lowered.
I killed this guy with no damage in Give me no Mercy, but these techniques are just unreal.

Hrolf Karki: You. Will. Kneel !
Kratos: Excuse me?
Beautiful, extremely disciplined gameplay as always!
uniquely one of the best fights I've ever seen
This is the best thing a ever seen on my life. Unbeleaveble reflecks. Ten points!
2:29 Clean dodges AF. Nicely done (mimirs voice)
I’ve been waiting for this since the Gna video! Huge GG 🎉
SMVR been the nicest for a minute now. Best player out there. Keep doing your thing
I wish there was a runic where Kratos just breaks down crying cuz that’s how I feel about my skill lvl
😂
The artistry on display is inspiring.
People really don’t know how F ing hard this is..
This guys dodges are incredible!! keep being a God SmvR 🗿
Fighting like a true spartan 🔥🔥🔥
and I despair at the medium difficulty level😂. Good job, i love your videos
This is art. Far beyond mere gameplay.
Congrats dude! This will be quite the challenge, but I welcome it 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
This taught me how to dodge the 6 element spheres
Dude is so good now he can annihilate bosses by just looking at the screen
Amazing mate , in awe of your skills well done 👏
Phenomenal especially that parry rage,you deserve the best gow player award from santa monica🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I didn't know any better I would swear you were an advanced AI battle program.. awe inspiring to watch super human reflexes and timing
The patience, the skill, the dedication. I can’t imagine how many times you died.
No for real. How many time would you say you died.
The Garm music compliments the battle so much better than the normal Berserker music.
I just found out that you can change the appearance of your weapons. Giving the blades their lv1 look will cement the look of the OG Kratos
What?! How do you change the appearance of the weapons?
@@odious5317 weapons>leviathan axe>leviathan axe. Then select the appearance you want. Same goes for the blades
@@D1smantle Awesome man, thanks so much. 🙏
Me playing on Normal difficulty, max level with max best armor set, took like 20 tries to beat him… You sir are the true God of War
This guy is literally too good
This was absolutely impressive, beast

Unreal movement/weaving 👏 👏
The fact that you chose to parry with that shield instead of just dodging shows how you didn't take the easy route to completing this challenge
After trying out the Spartan Aspis I see now how impressive these parries are.
I just spent like 3hrs on this boss with no burdens, normal armors, and on regular new game+. You are absolutely terrifying. Good shit.
Edit: Just got to 6:45 where you just walked up to Hrolf mid-attack call as shit. You're a menace.
Man you're making me cry I'm playing on give me grace 😭
SmvR, you are too smooth for your own good. Good shit!!
The best ever keep it up you deserve 100million subscribe amazing
It looks like a scythe with the blood trail on the thumbnail
not gonna lie, that last dodge before the finisher was disrespectful and I love it.
Your dodging is brilliant 👍👍

Ur gameplay is soo smooth bruh
appreciate it mate
This is what fighting with Rain in MK 11 feels like... all jokes aside, this was a beautiful thing!!
Smvr, the ghost of Sparta
2:25 when kratos hit you with that dollar store draupnir
This is wow heroic raids translated to another type of game. Truly impressive
Yo wassup, yesterday I beat hrolf kraki on gmgow+! Btw you're skills are crazy bro! You play so well. Also, are you planning on making a video like this but fighting the three berserkers?
Mimir: Careful brother, you're covered in Bifrost!
SmvR: Do I look like I care?
This is a another level of impressiveness, how can one be this good? My God I'm trash at this game, I'm struggling so much with this boss.
Hrolf is orders of magnitude harder than Gnà on NG+. This is a hell of an achievement.
Seriously, whereas NG+ Gna had a few bells and whistles, Hrolf was a total monster
@@YEY0806 I’ve beaten Gnà no less than 6 times in GMGOW+. I beat Hrolf for the second time today. It’s wild how he basically doesn’t ever have to close in on you with his added AOEs and ranged moves.
That background gofw music was 🔥
The skill is unbelievable and unimaginable 😮
Man really said “I am the TRUE Spartan.”
Baba Yaga…He is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will
That's how the real Spartans fight! Awesome!
Are you sure you’re human? Your reflexes and timing are alienlike
Now this is what I'm talking about ✊🏽🔥
