@@Dinoman972 It also explains why the gods themselves didn't even fathom the idea of wearing shoes in the first place. Edit: So my guess is why all of them got bested by a mere mortal.
It's been 6 months accodring to TH-cam, if by chance you don't have the game, it's currently free on steam, if you install it now you get to keep it forever. The Dev's released another game and I guess they're celebrating like this.
So which Jotun you'd consider the hardest (just Jotun, so Odin doesn't count) I'd say fire Jotun, it's really fast and agressive with it's attacks which also have large area of effect.
If I recall draugr are capable of many things including causing curses, nightmares and as we see here, changing in size and shape. So yeah, I think it's a draugr too.
It is purely chance if a warrior goes to Valhalla (with Oðinn) or Sessrúmnir (in Folkvangr with Freya), the Gylfaginning states: "Freyja er ágætust af ásynjum, hon á þann bœ á himni er Fólkvangar heita, ok hvar sem hon ríðr til vígs, þá á hon hálfan val, en hálfan Óðinn" "Freyja is the most renowned of the goddesses; she has in heaven the dwelling called Fólkvangr, and where so ever she rides to the strife, she has one-half of the kill, and Odin half" The key point here is that you must die in battle to go to either of the halls, I have not seen in primary sources any indication that a personal dedication from a human to a god determines your fate it is the choice of the Valkyrja and Freya where they take you, however the All-Father may instruct them to his preference. Women can die in battle so there is no reason why a woman could not go to Valhalla but I suspect the Freya would want to collect such women for herself; after all Oðinn has is Valkyrja. To all the ignorant people in the comments saying Women cannot enter Valhalla actually read up on the religion next time.
I really like how most of these bosses attack you in self defense, but i really like Kautan, the blacksmith. However he is also one of the best looking bosses i have seen in a long time, like seriously?! HAIR MADE OF LAVA?! THAT IS AWESOME HE IS EVEN USING THE SWORD OF RAGNOROK,which to everyone who doesn't know, ragnarok is like the end of the world, and this guy made a sword, dedicated to Ragnarok.
I played that 3rd fight Hagalez on the Gamescom last year and it was so incredibly challenging that no one pulled it off. I just didn't figure out to turn those lamps on :D So not only the gods are impressed by this but me too haha.
I like how Kaunan and Isa are LITERALLY JUST THE SAME CHARACTER except with minor design differences. Kaunan: Less fat & more muscle toned as he is a master weaponsmith & a fire giant, and has a well kept skirt with matching blacksmith's gloves (kinda pointless as he doesn't need to worry about burning his hands) Isa: More fat and flabbier (yet still strong AF!) muscles under all that bulk as he is a nomadic loner & an ice giant, and has a skirt made of unkempt animal pelts. Both have scalp & facial hair made of their respected elements, so their designs differ slightly with how those look as well. BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS THAT OUT OF ALL THE JOTUN IS THAT KAUNAN AND ISA ARE THE LEAST DIFFERENT DESIGN-WISE, BEING THE ONLY MEN, AND THEN WE GET THE ABSOLUTE VARIETY THAT IS JERA (thicc), FE (buff), AND HAGALAZ (skinny) ON THE LADIES SIDE!
Wait, Hagalaz is female? EDIT: Just made some research, and I think it makes sense for Kaunan and Isa to be so similar, since they represent opposite concepts: Kaunan is the Jotun of "the torch" (which I guess means fire), mortality and pain (I guess that explains why he does a Hollow Knight after defeat), while Isa represents ice, stillness and power. The concepts the female Jotun are based on aren't really opossite, so I don't think there's a need to make them very similar. Just my opinion, though.
Nice video! Made it look easy, when I reviewed this game for my indie insight first impression series on my channel, I fought the first boss & instantly thought it was a anime dark souls. Gotta get them tactics right.
Stop with the "dark souls this, dark souls that" holy fucking shit. This triggers me so much. A game is hard and everyone is fucking calling it dark souls.
I love how the stun Hagalaz you gotta get her stuck by lightning Even though she controls it like You literally punching yourself in the face so hard. You black out for a couple minutes
I just remembered it again cuz it's free on epic next week. Guys, if you're googling this to see if you should play: GET IT. PLAY IT. It's one of my favorite games ever, and it's short and sweet so you don't have to commit too much time. It's got just so many great details in its animation and sound design. The way the music ramps up more and more as the bosses get harder... Jera's flower freaking out when you hit it with an axe... the creaking-wood sound she makes as she dies... Hagalaz's thunderbolts coming with just a short loud clap instead of a long roll, because that's what thunder sounds like when it's right over you... Kaunan taking a second to give that sword one last definitive hammer before he turns around to deal with him... Fe and her hordes of Norse dwarves which, if you look closer, are still BIGGER THAN YOU ARE... and then of course Odin! and the sheer badassery of the way he flings off his cloak and his "old traveler" disguise to reveal himself as the king of the gods. and that fucking music!!! chills!!! annnnd probably my favorite thing of all: that escalating white-out blizzard in Isa's fight where conditions deteriorate by the second, all while he gets stronger and faster. by the end you can barely see, you're sliding all over the place, and meanwhile he's barreling around and you can barely get out of the way let alone chase him down for a hit. fml, that was probably my favorite fight in the whole game.
Odin's hall welcomes all warriors who fell in battle. Nowhere is it writ that the warrior's battle needed to be one with weapon against a human foe. The woman who dies in labour, the child that dies of Leukemia, the firefighter who died saving people in a building. All are warriors worthy of Odin's hall, their battle may have been impossible but they fought anyway. Neither, gender, nor ethnicity, nor age, nor foe does matter. All that is required is a warrior's heart and a will to fight a worthy adversary.
Actually, it pretty well is. The Valkyries chose warriors who specifically died on the battlefield. All others were sent to the underworld where they were watched over by Hel. It's not a bad thing though, as viking culture had no concept of heaven or hell until their conversion to christianity.
BIGTOAST75 they aren't gods, they are giants the enemy of gods and man in Norse mythology, the final boss was Odin though ( Morin went easy on her because he was testing her worthiness)
I really wish there was a longer version of Kaunan's theme. the music that's playing in his second phase doesn't appear in the original track released on the OST :c
They gave this one out for free ages ago to celebrate because they were releasing a new game. Damn lightning boss took me ages because I took _way_ too long to figure out the crystals.
The last fight I can truly believe. WoW may use a different name for Odin but I realized him off the bat before I looked to the description. The Crows and disguise gave it away.
I like how the other bosses have gorgeous 2d animation, and the final boss, fucking odin looks like a puppet made in flash. Thats very unfortunate, I wonder if it was a budget issue or a time issue.
Everyone says kaunan was so hard, and while I agree that he is the best boss, he was quite easy in my opinion and I defeated him in only 2 tries. However, that stupid lightning bastard took 5 years off my life they were so hard to defeat and literally made me scream in frustration 😂
Goddamn you crazy. Odin took me almost 20 tries to beat, but that was because I forgot you didn't have to dodge the spears so I was dodging the first 10 attempts and then it became easier when I tried hitting them. This was the hardest fight for me. 2nd hardest was lightning boss, all others I got first try
17:00 I really wish the released soundtrack contained that portion of the music that plays during Kaunan's boss fight. Particularly, the part that starts playing at 17:16 (you can hear it more clearly at 18:18). I've always looked for an extended version of this boss theme ("In Flames"), but never have I found one nor did the versions I found contained this segment. And I'm like, "why isn't this present?! like, this is the most memorable part of this boss theme!"
Okay... are we all just going to skip over the fact that This guy is a *_FUCKING BOSS?_* Those Fights are DAMN hard and he just bitch-slapped all of them with no damage taken.

I love how 90% of the fight you're mostly hitting their toes, which somehow ends up killing them.
you seen the size mismatch until now during the whole game? body and weapon size
You see it’s like stubbing your toe multiple times until you feel like dying
@@nancyminaj7266 I guess that explains Kaunan's death.
@@Dinoman972 It also explains why the gods themselves didn't even fathom the idea of wearing shoes in the first place.
Edit: So my guess is why all of them got bested by a mere mortal.
@@NevaehCyanide they were meant to die in the first place so if she defeat all of the Jotuns she will be alive again
I have NEVER seen this game.
I have NEVER played this game.
I have NEVER searched this game.
*recomended*
egitantigo It's trying to tell you it's good
It came up in steam for free but limited . and i got this game but i didnt yet played it yet
it's hard
for me..
TheChicken One you definitely should, it's got a sweetspot in difficulty imo. all deaths seem fair.
TH-cam is having a lot of problems when it's expanding a lot, so these can be common.
"you have impressed the gods!" *kills the gods*
Namsu Zaija you're right, should've just peed on them to show dominance.
and while you are peeing on them the just step on you like they should of done anyway
and also the lava god killed himself
they aint gods, they're titans. *well except for odin*
They aren't titans, they are jotuns. Titans are from greek mythology, but jotuns are from Norse mythology
Wow, I've never seen this game before. Looks gorgeous...
It's been 6 months accodring to TH-cam, if by chance you don't have the game, it's currently free on steam, if you install it now you get to keep it forever. The Dev's released another game and I guess they're celebrating like this.
Really Holy Shit
Um-hmmm.
@TheSoulsEnd yes
I recommend you to see sundered, its from the same creators and also looks gorgeous
This game's animation and design are fantastic.
Wow, killing odin with no damage and no power. THAT is insane
He is worthy! To valhalla!
She, appearently, since it says "Thora" in the cutscene + woman voice. female viking warriors :rolleyes:
cant offend the social justice fucktards
So which Jotun you'd consider the hardest (just Jotun, so Odin doesn't count) I'd say fire Jotun, it's really fast and agressive with it's attacks which also have large area of effect.
That's Gellot for ya
The designs in this game are absolutely gorgeous how have I never heard of it??
I think that "unnamed mid-boss" at the beginning of the video was a Draugr.
No, based on the music it is a skeleton
yes its a Drauger and yes Draugr are undead so yes "skellie" does fit them rather well as a description
If I recall draugr are capable of many things including causing curses, nightmares and as we see here, changing in size and shape. So yeah, I think it's a draugr too.
I don't know what I was yapping about before but it's weird.
It is purely chance if a warrior goes to Valhalla (with Oðinn) or
Sessrúmnir (in Folkvangr with Freya), the Gylfaginning states:
"Freyja er ágætust af ásynjum, hon á þann bœ á himni er Fólkvangar
heita, ok hvar sem hon ríðr til vígs, þá á hon hálfan val, en hálfan
Óðinn" "Freyja is the most renowned of the goddesses; she has in heaven
the
dwelling called Fólkvangr, and where so ever she rides to the strife,
she has one-half of the kill, and Odin half" The key point here is that
you must die in battle to go to either of the
halls, I have not seen in primary sources any indication that a
personal dedication from a human to a god determines your fate it is the
choice of the Valkyrja and Freya where they take you, however the
All-Father may instruct them to his preference. Women can die in battle
so there is no reason why a woman could not go to Valhalla but I suspect
the Freya would want to collect such women for
herself; after all Oðinn has is Valkyrja.
To all the ignorant people in the comments saying Women cannot enter Valhalla actually read up on the religion next time.
Impaler722 The f!@# are you talking about I was defending her! There are people in the comments saying women can't go to Valhalla!!
Then again, if they didn't die with their weapon in hand, they would be sent to Niflheim.
Your virginity smells worldwide.
what if your hand is your weapon?
Your Knowledge of Viking Culture reeks half a universe wide, Ashmole Production. The Gods must be impressed.
Honestly, I found Hagalaz’s laugh to be the most scary.
And that fight is a tough one
Hagalaz as a whole is freaking terrifying !
What about Kaunan's grunting?🥴
I really like how most of these bosses attack you in self defense, but i really like Kautan, the blacksmith. However he is also one of the best looking bosses i have seen in a long time, like seriously?! HAIR MADE OF LAVA?! THAT IS AWESOME
HE IS EVEN USING THE SWORD OF RAGNOROK,which to everyone who doesn't know, ragnarok is like the end of the world, and this guy made a sword, dedicated to Ragnarok.
Damn
I wonder if Gamers would be allowed in Valhalla if they died grinding...
Only if your game controller is considered a weapon
It's a blunt weapon
mindblown
Only Viking i think. If you are a gamer you are under the jurisdiction of the Cyber gods and Deus ex Machina.
don't forget the RNG gods
4:40 she was a beauty on the inside.
Would argue that she's beautiful outside and inside

But like, the first boss you fight in that game is bigger than the Earth.
@@engineerengifar5713 yet it isn't even the strongest
I love this kind of game, and with your channel I can know new games and also see your god plays
That frost giant reminded me of the Ice King
At first I thought it was Ymir
THICC Ice King
His name is "Isa"
Kaunan: "I am so pissed that I cannot kill you, that I'll kill MYSELF to steal from you the glory of killing me." (Seems legit.)
This game essentially is just
Giant thing: ah cockroach!
Giant thing:......
Giant thing: IT'S CUTTING OFF MY FEET
I like how Kaunan and Isa are LITERALLY JUST THE SAME CHARACTER except with minor design differences.
Kaunan: Less fat & more muscle toned as he is a master weaponsmith & a fire giant, and has a well kept skirt with matching blacksmith's gloves (kinda pointless as he doesn't need to worry about burning his hands)

That's Hara-Kiri for you.
It's called commiting sepoku :V
I'm also asian, why would anyone call you a weeb for that, also, saying sepoku instead of seppuku is an internet meme.
Trismon55555 no totally necessary, hehehe
Thank you for this. I got lost in Ymir's section and gave up. I'm fighting the map more than bad guys and it sucks.
The sound and music for Isa was top tier
Nice video! Made it look easy, when I reviewed this game for my indie insight first impression series on my channel, I fought the first boss & instantly thought it was a anime dark souls. Gotta get them tactics right.
Stop with the "dark souls this, dark souls that" holy fucking shit. This triggers me so much. A game is hard and everyone is fucking calling it dark souls.
I like how you have to smack their ankle to get their attention. Lmao.
any more games like this? art style, hack and slash, purchase equipment upgrades related?
I love how the stun Hagalaz you gotta get her stuck by lightning Even though she controls it like You literally punching yourself in the face so hard. You black out for a couple minutes
The battle with Odin was frustrating, but damn it felt good when I finally beat him
So this game is basically a Scandinavian pedicure specialist simulator, who tries to give Jotun a proper nail care?
my fucking god it's like watching a movie. How haven't i heard of this awesome game? The animations are just in another level.
EDIT: watched the4 whole video and, while the second boss was extraordinary the other ones where easy and mediocre.

Dang. Have to say. The art direction and music makes it all very aesthetically pleasing.
I’m assuming the first boss was a draugr
Because they can grow into giants if they want and Thora blessed it to Rest In Peace after a “second death”
at 20:16 you can tell the stress was HIGH
No one:
TH-cam:Hey kid,wanna see a some random player beat all bosses in the game that you don't know...
Ive done a no-hit Jera, that alone was extremely difficult, I salute you.
I love how kaunan's intro was like um he was like a literal blacksmith
can we just appreciate how fucking flawless the animation on all these characters is
All this awesome power, being the size of moutains... And yet they're defeated by a tiny spec of humanity with a single "great" axe.

Same lol
This game looks cool, but I think no matter how much you hack at a guys toe nails, he's not going to die
probably of infection? i dunno
what's this? game for ants?!
Well it sells your relative size, and the feeling of a monumental task pretty well.
It is a quote from Zoolander.
Aunts, uncles, a game for everybody
dude the bosses are so Insane.. and some are weirdly cool
all those dead dwarves...
2:58 that laughter is from hell......... WHAT THE HECK
And after the fire one once that boss dies it's nightmayer fuel
This is much more impressive than using the God powers, the gods really would be proud of your skill.
I like how small this game makes you feel against them, like shadow of the colossus
thunder chick is still my favorite animated character
Bet all those gods have swollen feet by now
I had no idea you could hit Odin's Gungnir. That'll make it SO much easier.

Wasn't Jormungand a boss too? or it was just a feature of a level?

if this is a game i want to buy it right now the graphics alone are so worth it

Its awesome.The zones before the bosses are cool too.They have all kinds of secrets and the story is pretty interesting.

yes i realized it was a game now chill no need for such a high level of sarcasm you must be such a nice person
Yuanyuan Qu it's free right now on steam, and if you get it for free, you keep it forever
I’m surprised they did not have fafnir the dwarf that became so greedy with cursed gold he turned into a dragon
There is a reference in one level where you see a skeleton of a dragon covered in gold near a Dwarven city.
shadow to tell you to dodge is neat
idk why this is on my recommended section....BUT I FCKIN LOVED THE GAME OMG INSTA-BUY

a then came Kratos and ripped everyones limbs off..
i´m really impressed. how many tries did you invest to make this video?

you sir , im throwing my hat off to you
holy shit are those hitboxes forgiving
whos your favorite Jotin guys? mine's magma, GOD this looks like an animated movie, and a good one!
my favorite jotun is odin
because he gives you the reward
Odin is proud of you my son!
smashing.
im from iceland and i was shocked when she spoke icelandic

Wow wtf is this game? Ive never seen it before, it looks great!
reminds me of cuphead except with less delays
Kaunan needs some forging outs of here.
Hey Gellot, found out what the mid boss's name is, or what it is. It's called a Draugr by the developers.

Torbjorn*
Mini boss called Nobel
Is his name mentioned somewhere in game?
How many trys?
YOU CAN KILL THE ODIN SPEARS BY HITTING THEM?! God that fight just got so much less tricky >_>
