I found the blue/red crystal puzzles, along with some others involving raising/lowering the floor levels fun in Alfheim. Combat is passable. It's not boring, but aside from a few exceptions, it's also not something I want to spend much time with. Currently the length of battles are fine. I don't have an issue with it. |
Raising and lowering floor levels fun. That's news to me. I wanted to throw my N64 through the window with OoT. I never finished the damn game. Fuck the water temple.

Ya I think weapon and skill upgrades through flames were mostly if not always through story, since you're always running into the shops afterwards where you can use those items to have the blacksmiths oh so elegantly craft your upgrades. The skills allow for different play styles. It changes or enhances the combat. If you think the combat is boring, acquiring skills will help with that. The more skills you acquire the deadlier you and the boy become and the more options you have. Don't forget about the boy. Making sure he has more better skills and that his armor and weapons are upgraded is more important than you might think. He can be much more helpful, but then again, that may not be your style and may not fit your combat tastes.
I tried to keep it balanced when I played. Some purple enemies are really tough fights but doable, but some like the one or two shots just aren't worth it so it's best to leave them be and move on to something more reasonable or advance through the story some more. Dragon saving is interesting, but there's one who's a unique encounter and I really enjoyed that portion.
Ya like with DonF mentioning 40%, I'd say your 40% at the most. I was figuring around 25% at the least, so say 30% to 40%, somewhere in there. |
Well if you are masochist the purple enemies that one shot you are the way to go =p
The Valkyrie Queen on GmGoW is the perfect excuse for someone to hate himself to self-punish =p

I have just one question...... what difficulty are you plying o and have you fought a Valkyrie?
I know that sounds like 2 questions but trust me you will understand that it's just one. Depending on the difficulty you are playing.
There are two worlds you will totally hate..... one of gas and one of fire.

Along with about every game award show, game site, gaming etc. Good call. Thumbsup I agree btw, great game. |
It is also one of the games of the generation. I haven't had as much fun in a game since The Last of Us.
For me, once the freedom of the boat opened up was probably my low point in the game. I thought the linear aspects of this game were much better designed. But the whole game was epic.
That's good enough I guess.... you should have gone for Give me a challenge though. I promise you the answer you just gave wouldn't have been the same lol.

Yes you'll have Valkyrie armor set, and while at it you'll have sets more focused on defense or attack.

If this is directed at what i posted its delicately misplaced.
Hunting Season is done...
Hiku said: Had a fun session last time I played. Did a couple of side quests, including saving another dragon. Then I encountered and beat the first Valkyrie. She gave me a helmet. I'm guessing I'll be able to make Valkyrie gear later? I also got the Blades of Chaos. I had seen that scene before on youtube, so I was expecting it. But I also expected the reason for it to be something more than "your axe conveniently won't work on the enemies you're about to encounter" The Blades of Chaos are fun to use though. I think I'll enjoy fighting regular enemies more form now on.
1.) Actually I've focused on upgrading the boy much more than I have Kratos. Partially because I felt like that will be more useful to me, but also because I know I'll get the Blades of Chaos so I'm thinking saving some points for that might be good. 2.) Yeah I tried doing those purple enemies anyway at first, just for the reward. All except a pair of witches that were too difficult, so I decided to leave them for later. If I encounter more that I can't defeat within the first few turns then I'lll just do the same there and save them for later. 3.) I may have been misleading in where I was in the game last time, because I said I'm on my way to Jotenheim, but turns out I didn't go there, as the story now takes me to Helheim instead. I'm guessing I'm 40-50% into the game now or something?
Well I beat her on the first try, but it was close because I didn't know when to parry at first. |
Nope, you can't fight them again after beating them.... don't worry though, they get harder. And there are a couple of other optional bosses to fight, like the travelers and the elemental golems.
If you beat her on your first attempt, then I strongly recommend you using the difficulty, you a too good for the current difficulty setting you are at. That also probably explains why you aren't a fan of the ax. You need to play on give me a challenge at least.... that will force you to learn and use all the nuances of the combat system. And oh my will you come to love the Axe throw. Especially the precision ax throw,
