How many valkyries are there

The God of War franchise has featured some epic boss battles and enemy showdowns, but the Valkyrie boss fights in the entry top anything the series has offered in terms of difficulty. With 9 total Valkyrie boss fights in the game, God of War will put players to the test but only if they choose to pursue them. The Valkyrie boss fights in God of War are completely optional but are well worth completing if players are up to the challenge.

While there are 9 boss fights, there are only 8 Valkyries to find and fight and defeating all of them unlocks a final fight with the Valkyrie queen. Each Valkyrie has a similar set of base attacks that players will learn to counter as they go. Depending on the difficulty level, God of War players should choose the safest route.

Because of this, the Valkyries were unable to escort the warrior dead to their rightful place in Valhalla. This lead to the overflowing of dead in the realm Helheim , which contributed to the rise of Hel-Walkers in Midgard.

After being freed from their mortal forms by Kratos and Atreus, the Valkyries thank the Spartan and his son with their eternal gratitude. Out of all the boss fights in the game, the Valkyries are considered the most dangerous, surpassing even Baldur with his infamous invulnerability in terms of difficulty. The Valkyries are a side-quest of the game and there are nine different locations to find them.

The first eight locations are revealed upon completing the main story but can still be accessed prior to this by discovering them. The Chisel is needed to unlock the Hidden Chambers of Odin and six of the Valkyries, which is obtained at one point during the story. It is recommended to complete the main journey before fighting them as they are powerful warriors. This will summon the Valkyrie Queen. They all have high health and defense, and are resistant to burn, frost, and shock damage, being weakened, and Kratos' rage.

When challenging a Valkyrie, be ready for a long, drawn-out fight. Gunnr is a Blade User, whose specialty is using her wings and scythe to fight and cut you. She has four normal attacks. She can cause a frost eruption an area attack. She is also capable of grappling though it's not nearly as devastating as Rota and launching different types of projectiles.

In the air she will use her scythe and dash at you. She may be the easiest Valkyrie in the game and fighting her is a good way to check if you have the equipment to challenge the other ones. She utilizes spikes and lightning-fast disk projectiles. She is also the only Valkyrie who summons Draugr to aid her in combat. She will yell before hurling herself at you to grapple you and deal heavy damage, either from the front or from the sky.

She has an additional spinning attack she charges before launching it towards you.
