Early in combat, the main goal is to avoid the Bifrost blasts that are pretty typical of Odin. Players then have to parry their hits when he tries to get in close for melee hits with his stick. Timing isn’t too complicated here, as a successful parry will open up Odin for a full combo. The second phase of the battle will soon begin as Odin divides the arena into three sections. If players are hit by the explosion caused by Odin covering one or two of these sections in Bifrost, they will take serious damage. As a result, they must pay attention when Odin moves into the center of the battlefield. Odin generally flies right at the player for more intense melee attacks GoW: Ragnarok.

In the third phase, Odin has a greater variety of strikes, many of which are suitably lethal. Odin can now summon clouds of ravens that fly directly at the player. Blocking is no longer possible, so players will have to parry to get out unscathed. The large fireballs that tower menacingly above Odin’s head represent another ranged attack. His close range melee hits have been greatly improved. Odin’s staff now has whip characteristics, increasing its range and damaging capabilities. Players can parry, evade, or parry most of these Odin assaults with care. Atreus’ ax or arrows are the best possible weapons GoW: Ragnarok but to block fireballs.

The spear works well when it’s a normal shield. While away, Odin also unleashes a torrent of his elemental abilities while still. Players must block this to avoid taking burn damage that lasts forever. Additionally, it can launch area-of-effect elemental assaults, which are dodged by jumping out of target areas or their remains.
