I beat that guy by hiding behind a tree lobbing the axe into his heart, then ran across the stage when the adds appeared to kill them separately. It took a couple tries because Fafnir's side area is really tough for the level it first becomes available to you.

Also if you're feeling cheap you can run back into the cave to heal and it won't reset hp, and then you can kill the draugr without the ancient

Also a later sidequest will send you back into that area if you just want to save it for later.

The ancients in general were a challenge for me, they had that one laser beam attack that as far as I can tell was undodgeable and unblockable unless you could find something to hide behind, and there wasn't always a good place to do that.

I blocked the laserbeam just fine though, and when I fought an ancient on one of the islands it just gets blocked from the shield. It's those pesky energy balls that need to be dodged. So far the only gripe I have with the game is "too many troll bosses" who amount to really bad Dark Souls bosses because all you do is circlestrafe around their asses, with occasional distraction Draugrs who pop up.

So can we really just ignore loot drops as they'll always just end up in the "missed items" section in the dwarf shop? Does anybody know what it won't retrieve? Like, obviously the game will keep frozen flame axe upgrades as they're super rare and plot centered, but what about stuff like crafting mats or runic attacks?

was anyone else worried that kratos’ chisel plan was going to be way more gruesome and he was gonna drop the hammer on the other end of the chisel and slam the entire chisel through the giant’s head?

I can't figure out how to sensibly beat this guy now, though I feel like it'll drop some loot I need. It took me a good few tries even on normal. I just ran around like a headless chicken, took some damage to get an axe into his chest when he fired, then did my best to throw the chunks at him without taking more damage. The Draugr are useful to get more hp back when you kill them. Throw the axe a couple of times when he's in his staggered state, then do the R3 attack. Even so, I only beat it with a tiny sliver of health left, it's been by far the most difficult fight in the game for me so far. Comparing that and then the huge dragon fight, it's ridiculous how little damage the dragon does.

Does the game "end" when you go home to rest? or do you just keep going?

Stand a little ways in front, charge up a heavy axe throw aimed at his chest. When he opens it up, toss it at his chest, roll left/right to avoid the blast. Recall it, then when he's finishing, toss a heavy axe throw at it again. Repeat, even if he or any other of them do the balls everywhere thing. They're just super easy farming.

That's how to do 85% of the battles in the game. Have BOY lightning arrow everything constantly while you're tossing axes. makes the "not get hit" challenge trivial for me since I never get hit anyway unless fighting Valkyries or just smashing up normal mobs.

DLC Inc posted:I cannot imagine going through this game without knowing how to parry. You'd get hosed up so badly. Maybe on Normal difficulty you could possibly do ok but you'd look ridiculous with how often you'd have to flail and roll from everything. On Hard mode you definitely need at least the Parry followup attacks to engage with the enemies they throw at you. Luckily the parry is so goddamn smooth it seems like it can cancel Kratos' attack animations even in the middle, so it's very fluid. I don't use the parry thing much because I position enemies so that BOY shoots them in the back, which opens them up for me to just wail on them. The exception are Valks and the shiny armored guys where I absolutely have to parry to open them up.

This game desperately needs NG+. Or a randomized, multifloor Diablo style dungeon. Anything to give you an excuse to come back to the fantastic combat system anytime and fight fun things over and over with a fully upgraded character.

I can't figure out how to sensibly beat this guy now, though I feel like it'll drop some loot I need. You can cheese him entirely by standing behind the trees (there is one much bigger tree). You're effectively invincible if you do it properly. When the adds spawn, run towards sindri and you can fight them without the boss molesting you.

Just finished the main story. What a game. One hell of a sequel hook. Was it weird that I never found the 5th upgrade tier for the Blades of Chaos? Is that a drop from Muspelheim or something?
