Fighting any of the Valkyries forces you to use parries. Fighting Sigrun is the ultimate test of your ability to parry. It's honestly why I got so good at parrying in God of War.
Not really, if you time dodges right you won’t have to parry at all. I beat her at level 1 gmgow and pretty much most of her parriable attacks became undodgable.
@@nathanieljefferies5491wdym level 1? I do agree that dodging is at least viable if not even the better option especially if you use amulet of kvasir. I basically ignored my shield all together until i got to the valkyries on my first playthrough (which was on gmgow)

I beat her on GMGOW after A LOT of tries. I kept count for the first hundred attempts. It took me a few days of constant work, but I eventually managed to tear her wings off and add her helmet to my collection. If the Freya Boss is more difficult than Sigrun in the next game, I swear to Kratos, I’m gonna lose the will to live.
That’s where I remember when the combat was just basic fighting regular draugs with your son… it has escalated to this. Calm down and remember just the basic bobbing and weaving at this point you got her life half hp or more.

You can do ALOT with just a hurdy gurdy, it's new to me, whilst it sounds like a violin and an old acoustic guitar together to produce even greater deep sounding music. I watched some videos of them.
@@Czzor Yep! It's my favorite instrument, also called a "wheel fiddle". You can hear a lot of it in the music from the first Troll fight (Daudi Kaupmadr) and other soundtracks: Opening theme from "Black Sails", The Witcher 3's "The Mandragora" (and many more on the same soundtrack), and my personal favorite: a solo in the middle of "Deku Palace" by Theophany (the folks who composed a completely remastered Majora's Mask soundtrack, as seen in the short film "A Terrible Fate").

@Tundra stands for "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", which is usually common with war veterans, and how it works is basically there are certain things (such as noises or images) that trigger flashbacks and bad memories.
I like how the hardest GoW boss is also one of the kindest and most noble characters in the entire series. Really fits the redemption theme of the Norse GoW era that the enemy that causes you the most grief isn't someone despicable, but a genuinely good person who is simply not in control of their actions, and after you free her she helps you in the next game.

The learning curve is unmatched in fairness, the perfect balance of difficulty and fairness. Souls games have cool fights, but they definitely prioritize quantity over quality.

I’ve always been an advocate for difficult challenges in games, and this exceeded my expectations by miles unimaginable. I raged, felt frustrated, lost, all sorts of emotions fighting this boss. But all that experience leading up to this fight, all the beat downs I had, the overall what seems impossible difficulty, and finally, the success of beating this boss. One of the BEST bosses I’ve ever faced in my years of video gaming of all time. Bless this game, seriously.
One of my many tries to defeat her, was my favorite. I was playing in "Give me God of War" leevel, and I suffered a lot with each one of them, and the queen as well. She was killing me every single try, but in my last one, I killed her on my record time, and she, didn't give me a single hit at all. The health bar was full during the whole battle (Well, almost, when she does that attack that blinds you, but that's not possible to block, and I tried, so that doesn't count to me) And using ONLY the blades of Chaos, I did not even use Spartan Fury. Man, that was my best battle, no hits, Blades and not fury in record time. And when I killed her, only the music, and her words, felt like heaven to me, I did it, and I feel so proud of that. I felt like a real God. This game made me even feel proud of myself! PS: I'm planning a new battle against all the Valkyries again, but with Zeus armor uwu
@@alejandromartinezrubio8947 The easiest way for me is Atreus's Arrows One arrow brings her down to the ground instantly Completely interrupting the attack It works on the other Valkyries too but only for that Blind attack.
@@RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X I surprisingly figured that out a while back but to be honest there aren’t many rewords for GMGOW So it’s basically a Death wish and endless supply of headaches to try it out. It’s still fun to try tho for those who want a real challenge so not to bad just saying there aren’t may rewards for completing it.
@@SapphireMoon1042well there are a lot of prideful bastards like myself who could never pick a difficulty lower than the maximum in any game because it would hurt their ego feeling like the game is ”holding back” on them. I died many times at places where you really wouldnt on lower levels but the feeling you get when you finally beat the completely unfairly difficult fights through sheer strategy, reflexes and patience was honestly unmatched.
aww such an epic soundtrack rise my hairs of my body and get me in the battle mode... thank you so much whoever made that awesome masterpiece music and character sigrun, also all valkyries...
Thank you. I listened to it at 1.25x and 2x. Both are of excellent speed. 2x sound like as the orchestra played it just like that in reality. 1.25 is something that flow masterfully. I would not be shocked if 1.25x was the true version of the song and they decided to slow it down.
When I fought this boss I hated it but now I actually miss it to the point where I start another save and play the whole game again JUST to get to SIGRUN
We all know this is one of the best boss fights in the god of war franchise it’s very hard,(an understatement) it’s trial and error, good boss theme and the design is very good.
"Beware a man with nothing to lose" But now Kratos is holding back because he does not want Atreus to see the monster within him but even though he is holding back, he still defeated the valkyries and killed a god.
Estaba buscando fondos de pantalla para mi celular, y encontré esto, es lo mejor del mundo, estas fotos están perfectas de fondo, gracias al creador de este vídeo, me ayudaste mucho :')
I've managed to take her down fairly quickly, after 20 or so attempts, but only due to having lvl 8 gear and mastering my tactics during endless fights with other valkiries.
Man, if this Sigrun just imagine how Freya will be like in Gow Ragnarok, I mean, Sigrun, as hard as she was, is still just a subsitute to Freya sooo....
@@georgehouliaras7239 Zeus is easy if you know how to fight him. I am a veteran of the saga and the Valkyries are among the best and most challenging bosses I have ever faced. The fights are fair, and You know that if you lose it's your own fault for making a mistake. That's why it's so satisfying to defeat them.
@@juanlaise1059 I also am a veteran and have beaten the games on their very hard difficulty and I think that 4 isn't that hard compare to it's predecessors. I have many broken ps2 and ps3 controllers trying to do God, Titan and Chaos respectively but Give Me God of War wasn't nearly as punishing because of the RPG elements that GoW4 has. It's hard at the beginning but once you a good armor later on, GmGoW becomes far easier, God, Titan and Chaos were brutal from start to finish. As for the Valkyrie Queen, she is hard, don't get me wrong but I think many fights and bosses from the trilogy are far far harder. The final fight Cerberus fight, right before Zeus still gives me PTSD.
@@georgehouliaras7239 Perhaps we have different styles for playing. I can basically toy with Chaos Zeus. Obviously I enjoy the fight, one of the greatest of the series, but he was never that challenging to me. I think God of War 2 Zeus was harder. And the fight before the final Sister of Fate was the most challenging for me, where satyrs and Gorgons and mermaids and everything there try to kill you. The Fire Cerberus was great but once know how to fight him he can be dealt with(I just kicked the dogs back to him when I could and got close with the Cestus for the first phase. Used magic with the Blades of exile for the second and the rage of Sparta for the last. The satyrs were very easy in 3 compared to 1.

The health bar was full during the whole battle (Well, almost, when she does that attack that blinds you, but that's not possible to block, and I tried, so that doesn't count to me) And using ONLY the blades of Chaos, I did not even use Spartan Fury. Man, that was my best battle, no hits, Blades and not fury in record time. And when I killed her, only the music, and her words, felt like heaven to me, I did it, and I feel so proud of that. I felt like a real God.
This game made me even feel proud of myself!
PS: I'm planning a new battle against all the Valkyries again, but with Zeus armor uwu
You can avoid damage in the attack that blinds you turning around
@@alejandromartinezrubio8947 The easiest way for me is Atreus's Arrows One arrow brings her down to the ground instantly Completely interrupting the attack It works on the other Valkyries too but only for that Blind attack.
@@SapphireMoon1042 that only works on lower difficulty’s, on GMGOW you have to face the other way/look away.
@@RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X I surprisingly figured that out a while back but to be honest there aren’t many rewords for GMGOW So it’s basically a Death wish and endless supply of headaches to try it out.
It’s still fun to try tho for those who want a real challenge so not to bad just saying there aren’t may rewards for completing it.
@@SapphireMoon1042well there are a lot of prideful bastards like myself who could never pick a difficulty lower than the maximum in any game because it would hurt their ego feeling like the game is ”holding back” on them. I died many times at places where you really wouldnt on lower levels but the feeling you get when you finally beat the completely unfairly difficult fights through sheer strategy, reflexes and patience was honestly unmatched.
Beautiful
aww such an epic soundtrack rise my hairs of my body and get me in the battle mode...
thank you so much whoever made that awesome masterpiece music and character sigrun, also all valkyries...
Whoever got the screenshots for this is a legend.
You can actually play around with the speeds to your liking. x2 sounds a lot like an epic techno. 1.25 is my personal favorite.
holy shit, at 1.25 it makes the soundtrack even more awesome :D
Tried it! Thanks!!
Oh hell yeah
Thank you. I listened to it at 1.25x and 2x. Both are of excellent speed. 2x sound like as the orchestra played it just like that in reality. 1.25 is something that flow masterfully. I would not be shocked if 1.25x was the true version of the song and they decided to slow it down.
Boi it really is good, well done boi
7:24
That flute tho...best part of the soundtrack imo
Also gave me hope when sigrun was whooping me
When I fought this boss I hated it but now I actually miss it to the point where I start another save and play the whole game again JUST to get to SIGRUN
And then the cycle of torment from Sigrun starts again...
One of the very best boss fights of ALL time, and one of the best themes I've ever heard!
Gotta love the epic chorus when you rip her wings off
We all know this is one of the best boss fights in the god of war franchise it’s very hard,(an understatement) it’s trial and error, good boss theme and the design is very good.
Mimir: "HaVe YoU cOnSiDeReD a TaCtIcAl ReTrEaT?"
Hearing 14:50 as Kratos subdues the valkyrie is so majestic and powerful.
Ikr😢
I cannot get over how epic this song is bruh
What a Soundtrack... Game history
0:10 THIS is the reason the Valkyries are the choosers of the slain. Because they are INSANELY POWERFUL! 0__0
Just want to hear this live someday. There needs to be a GOW concert tour. There’re enough tracks now for one.
My parents got mad at me because I ran around the house screaming after tearing Sigruns wings off
"Ready yourself boy!"
Kratos: PREPARE YOURSELF BOY *While being drag though the ground*
"Beware a man with nothing to lose" But now Kratos is holding back because he does not want Atreus to see the monster within him but even though he is holding back, he still defeated the valkyries and killed a god.
As if i'm gonna live for 15 minutes in this boss...
Estaba buscando fondos de pantalla para mi celular, y encontré esto, es lo mejor del mundo, estas fotos están perfectas de fondo, gracias al creador de este vídeo, me ayudaste mucho :')
Reminds me of Dark Souls bosses .. You gotta dodge a lot. Be patient and balance your attacks and blocks
I've managed to take her down fairly quickly, after 20 or so attempts, but only due to having lvl 8 gear and mastering my tactics during endless fights with other valkiries.
Incredible, that after fighting this boss, everything else seemed to be pretty easy XD, "final boss" was a joke XD
I'm still dreading for when we have to fight Freya
@Rex Banner best of luck to you
@Rex Banner really. Coward. Really.
That Hurdy-Gurdy at 4:50 is some good shit
"THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID STEP ON ME!!!"
-me.
this music was the most satisfying part of dying to her
Awesome music I love from 8:00 to 8:15
7:39, so darn good!
Beginning is best
bro this music has been playing in my mind since yesterday when i killed sigrun
Atrues: Look out Father!
Mimir: Behind you, brother!
I still have nightmares of this boss...
“VALHALLA. VALHALLA.”
“UNWORTHY. UNWORTHY”
“WORM”
Man, if this Sigrun just imagine how Freya will be like in Gow Ragnarok, I mean, Sigrun, as hard as she was, is still just a subsitute to Freya sooo....
Tip: after beating sigrun you can sell her helmet at brok’s shop for 100000 hacksilver
I seen that but I kept it as a trophy I deserve that helmet
DBF -Vinny yep we all do
*sad ng+ noises* 100000 do nothing in terms of armor
I used all that to but ancient and traveler+ armour for enchantment tho
Dude this song is awesome
SIGRUN: VALHALLA!!!
By far the hardest boss fight in the whole series
Chaos Mode Zeus says hi
@@georgehouliaras7239
Zeus is easy if you know how to fight him. I am a veteran of the saga and the Valkyries are among the best and most challenging bosses I have ever faced. The fights are fair, and You know that if you lose it's your own fault for making a mistake. That's why it's so satisfying to defeat them.
@@juanlaise1059 I also am a veteran and have beaten the games on their very hard difficulty and I think that 4 isn't that hard compare to it's predecessors.
I have many broken ps2 and ps3 controllers trying to do God, Titan and Chaos respectively but Give Me God of War wasn't nearly as punishing because of the RPG elements that GoW4 has. It's hard at the beginning but once you a good armor later on, GmGoW becomes far easier, God, Titan and Chaos were brutal from start to finish.
As for the Valkyrie Queen, she is hard, don't get me wrong but I think many fights and bosses from the trilogy are far far harder. The final fight Cerberus fight, right before Zeus still gives me PTSD.
@@georgehouliaras7239
Perhaps we have different styles for playing. I can basically toy with Chaos Zeus. Obviously I enjoy the fight, one of the greatest of the series, but he was never that challenging to me. I think God of War 2 Zeus was harder. And the fight before the final Sister of Fate was the most challenging for me, where satyrs and Gorgons and mermaids and everything there try to kill you.
The Fire Cerberus was great but once know how to fight him he can be dealt with(I just kicked the dogs back to him when I could and got close with the Cestus for the first phase. Used magic with the Blades of exile for the second and the rage of Sparta for the last. The satyrs were very easy in 3 compared to 1.
@@georgehouliaras7239 Chaos mode hades was harder to me
Extra fun on NG+ GMGOW :)
I will do it, without healing and rage mode
You forgot the pinch of added salt for plebs
Smouldering brimstone set managed me just fine on ng+ gmgow
