#VALKYRIE GOD OF WAR UPGRADE#

Starting on the shores below the Muspelheim Tower, you can find a Treasure Map located by the one Mystic Gateway in this area. Finally, she's one of the few Valkyries to use Eir's wing shields: use the Block Break skill by double-tapping L1 to knock her off-balance and open to a combo.Below you will find details on where to locate all of the collectibles in this area - but note that some may require you to come back later when you have the tools needed to get to certain areas. She also uses the glide charge across the arena, but unlike Rota she only does this once before stopping, like Geirdiful did. She has Geirdiful's green scythe waves, and also likes to charge at you with a scythe like Gunnr did. The rest of her moveset is similar to other Valkyries you've fought before her. To give yourself the best shot, walk Kratos backwards away from Hildr as you block the ice barrage: the final chunk will take longer to get to you, giving you a larger window to dodge. To survive this, block the initial barrage with the shield, then roll to the side when she pauses to avoid the larger chunk of ice. The main new attack you need to watch out for is her ice attack: here, Hildr fires a barrage of ice chunks at Kratos, before pausing and firing an extra-large chunk as a Heavy Attack (indicated by a red ring). One thing to keep in mind however is the trap hallway: this will be random every time you enter the arena, and if it has sawblades (like in the picture below), you need to be careful not to accidentally back yourself into them and get sliced up! A worse proposition are unguarded crushers: THESE WILL KILL KRATOS INSTANTLY! Hildr is unique among the Valkyries in that she has by far the single largest arena, which will give you plenty of room to engage her with. Another boon (sort of) is that Kratos doesn't die the instant the mist meter runs out: his health will drain rapidly first, giving you a small window to finish off Hildr and refill the mist meter. The catch of course is that she's in the Niflheim maze, meaning you must defeat her before succumbing to the deadly mist (indicated by the pink mist meter at the top of the screen).įortunately there is one positive catch: once you bring her down, the mist meter will be fully restored! This then gives you ample time to either retreat back to the start of the maze, or continue exploring it for more loot and goodies. Hildr herself is actually a fairly weak Valkyrie with relatively easily blocked and countered moves, and a (relatively) small life bar.

You can trade this at Brok or Sindri's for a Frozen Flame to upgrade the Leviathan Axe with! The right-hand chest costs 5,000 Mist Echoes to open, and contains the Chilling Mists of Niflheim. In the back-left of the Center Chamber are a pair of Legendary Chests sitting next to each other.You'll want these so that you can choose non-mist armor with bigger stat boosts if they work better for you.

They give you an Axe Pommel and Talisman that will help Kratos survive longer inside the maze.

Open the Rift Tears in the Center Chamber that require 10,000 and 20,000 Mist Echoes to open.

Complete the Ivaldi's Workshop favor to get into the Center Chamber in the middle of the maze, then do the Ivaldi's Protection favor, which gets you the materials needed to craft mist-enduring armor if you feel you need them.

From the sub-arena, head through the left-hand trap hallway to enter Area X, where Hildr can be found!īefore you even think about taking on Hildr, your first concern should be gearing up to survive the maze itself.

You should see a trap hallway directly ahead, and another trap hallway on your left. From Area A, head right through another trap hallway to another small sub-arena.Facing the entrance to the Center Chamber, head left through the trap hallway, into a small sub-arena, and then through a second trap hallway to Area A.It'll have an Entry Stone pedestal near the middle, and a Nornir Chest. First, make your way down to Area D, the arena exactly between Sindri's Shop and the Center Chamber in the middle of the maze.

Once you've prepared yourself to fight Hildr ( see below ), here's how to get to her: Once you do this, you'll unlock the ability to travel there via the Realm Travel Room in Tyr's Temple. Getting to Niflheim will require finding all of the Niflheim Language Cipher pieces, which are found throughout Midgar. Hildr is found within the realm of Niflheim, specifically within the cursed mist maze of the realm.
