God of War: The First Troll (Prologue) - 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 can find the walkthrough of the duel with the first boss, the troll. This guide concerns the fight that takes place in the campaign's prologue and explains which attacks the troll may use against you and how to weaken the enemy by using a step-by-step approach.
Later in the game you will confront other trolls. The general combat pattern and troll attacks will remain unchanged.
- The troll at the very beginning of the adventure is a fairly easy opponent to defeat. However, launching attacks blindly can still lead to a quick defeat, even when playing on normal difficulty.
- Troll is a slow but strong monster. It is best to keep a safe distance from the monster, allow it to attack and whenever it becomes vulnerable - strike back.
- This duel can also be a good test of dodging. Dodges are perfect for avoiding the monster's attacks, which can deal a lot of damage if you get hit.
- While being at a safe distance, Kratos can throw the axe. It is also possible to order Atreus to shoot his bow and weaken the boss a bit.
- In case you get hurt more, it's a good idea to look for the green crystal and stand on it, which will recover the main character's health a bit.
