Oh, i played it on hard (hard is way more difficult than normal in that combat) and i needed hours of trying to beat her, with my best equipment, while the others only needed a few attempts. Every attack from her kills you automatically, and in higher difficulties she uses different attacks.

Playing GOW on hard or in god of war difficulty is a different and better experience than in normal. It's like with TLOU. I played directly the first time in hard, and every time you overcame a difficult section, the calm that followed was ...almost spiritual. Gameplay at the service of the story, immersing you in the game making you feel the same stress the character is going through.

I just checked, I was indeed in normal difficulty. I started a new game + in Hard mode, I need to keep going in this. Weird, usually I start my games in hard mode (like TLOU), guess I started in normal because it was my first game in a while.

But she never touched me during the fight, that's why I said she was easier than the others. She doesn't use the same attacks as the other valkyries in higher levels? In normal at least she's like a best-of, she uses one attack of each of the previous ones, so it's not that hard to avoid when you remember the other fights.

She uses ALL the attacks of ALL the other valkyries, plus exclusive attacks. Some of them have very similar animation but very different response.

The game is very very different playing on GMGoW versus even Hard. SSM really outdone themselves and they said their inspiration for this mode was Souls games (even though a lot of people say it is harder than Souls), with bigger difference being you don't need to keep an eye in stamina.
