God of War: The First Ancient in Alfheim - boss, how to beat? God of War Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 19 August 2022
On this page of the God of War game guide you will find the description of the first duel with the Ancient One. You will come across this enemy while exploring the lands of Alfheim in the main story. The guide describes boss attacks and explains how to deal with him.
Confrontations with other Ancients will occur later in the game. The general combat pattern and attacks of more of these types of monsters remain unchanged.
- The first confrontation with the Ancient One takes place on the way to the entrance of the Alfheim temple as part of the main storyline - this is the part of the story of The Light of Alfheim.
- The duel with the boss will start after eliminating one of the groups of regular opponents. Confrontation with him can be quite demanding - the Ancient One has extensive health bar and can launch powerful attacks.
- Kratos should always wait until the enemy reveals a light on his chest. This usually happens when the Ancient One is preparing to launch his own attack. After the boss has revealed his vulnerable spot it is best to throw your axe at him a few times.
- Successful attacks will cause the Ancient One to lose some health and drop explosive fragments on the ground. You can pick them up and throw them at the boss, so in addition to losing health points he will be stunned and exposed to more Kratos attacks.
- During the clash you have to watch out for the enemy's laser beam, which is very strong and inflicts serious damage. The optimal reaction is to roll over, which will allow you to protect yourself from the attack of the boss.
