God of War: Svartaljofurr - elf from Alfheim - boss, how to beat? God of War Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 19 August 2022

This page of the God of War game guide contains a description of the duel with the Svartaljofurr boss, a powerful elf encountered in Alfheim. The following description explains what attacks Svartaljofurr has at his disposal and how to gradually weaken the boss.

The confrontation with the Svartaljofurr boss takes place on the way to leave Alfheim as part of the main storyline, shortly after receiving the mission objective to use the crane.

The fight with Svartaljofurr strongly resembles a skirmish with standard elves. He is fast, jumps away and charges at you. New features of this battle are the explosions on the ground - if Kratos falls into them, he will receive a lot of damage and darkness may reign around for a while. In such case you have to remain alert as the enemy will try to launch an attack on Kratos.

The best option is to use the following tactics: enemy charges -> jump back -> counter strike. Repeat this pattern to the end of the fight.

Atreus does not have to be a passive participant of this battle. You can tell him to shoot some arrows towards the boss.

Depriving Svartaljofurr of his entire health bar will allow you to execute him and watch a short cut-scene.
