The Huntress is one of the first few bosses that players will face in God of War: Ragnarök. The game includes numerous threats and Nordic mythological characters. Kratos and Atreus will encounter a variety of creatures and predators as they travel through the Nine Realms. The Huntress is one of the first adversaries they will face shortly after starting the game. The Huntress is a Stalker and a fabled Giantess known for her hunting skills.
The Stalkers were once a peaceful faction, however, Fimbulwinter twisted them into aggressive and ruthless creatures, as he has many groups and creatures throughout the Nine Realms. The Huntress, who is basically a horned deer centaur, moves quickly and attacks with a large bone baton. To challenge her, players must begin upgrading their equipment and leveling up their character's combat skills in God of War: Ragnarök.
Huntress Boss Strategies in God of War: Ragnarök
There aren't any distinct phases in this boss battle. She may be found in the first Story mission, "Surviving the Fimbulwinter," when players will run into her. This is especially important because Kratos still lacks a shield, making the Huntress's strikes highly damaging. Kratos' health bar will be quite low. Even though this is a simpler boss battle, having very little HP could still be problematic. Additionally, players must parry and avoid her ranged attacks because the Shield is not usable. It is vital to be ready to use the dodge button at all times because Huntress is also highly quick and loves to engage with combo attacks in God of War: Ragnarök. Fortunately, the Huntress almost always scripts her attacks with a yellow circle, allowing plenty of time to prepare for dodging.
Players must injure the Huntress's head in order to defeat her, and there are effective ways to do it. The Huntress, however, only has a modest HP Meter with three health bars. Therefore, with the appropriate movements, defeating her in God of War Ragnarök might be extremely simple.
- Use Atreus and his archery to distract Huntress during the battle.
- Players can immobilize Huntress by throwing the Leviathan Axe at her head. Once she is down, Kratos can move in for more direct hits to the head.
- After some time, Huntress will be back on her feet and continue her barrage of attacks towards GoW: Ragnarök's Kratos.
- Players can rinse and repeat this same strategy to eventually defeat Huntress.
- If Kratos is overwhelmed at any point during the battle, using Spartan Rage can help in healing as well as inflicting more damage.
Following these five steps and repeating them, while dodging her attacks will ensure that players are able to defeat Huntress. This is one of the first few bosses in the game, and this battle gives players some idea of the aspects of their weapons and abilities they need to upgrade going forward. There is no shortage of boss battles in God of War: Ragnarök and players can find unique ways to deal with the bosses through some trial and error.
