God of War Ragnarok features some of the most fearsome foes Kratos has ever faced. Together with Thor and Odin, you will fight strong opponents from Norse myths. One such mini-boss is Einherja Captain Odina Fiske. With his huge size and powerful attacks, he is difficult to deal with. If you too are looking for ways to defeat him, look no further. In this article, we will show you how to defeat Fiske in God of War Ragnarok.
How to beat Fiske in God of War Ragnarok
You will encounter Fiske during the Reckoning quest at the end of the abandoned village in Vanaheim. You will see that he is armed with a scythe, but don’t mistake it for a normal weapon. He can charge it with Bifrost and drain a huge chunk of your health. Another thing to keep in mind while fighting Fiske is that he is fast. Don’t let his heavy armor and weapons fool you. He can quickly bridge the gap between you and attack with his deadly moves. But he is not invincible. You can learn his attack patterns and defeat him.
Fiske is a strong melee fighter, but due to his huge scythe, his true strength lies in his ranged attacks. To defeat Fiske in GoW Ragnarok, we recommend that you stay close to him and attack from the inside.
Tips for defeating this boss
- Avoid his attacks when his scythe flashes purple. We recommend that you dodge these attacks to avoid Bifrost’s damage.
- If you get hit by one of these attacks, make sure you avoid another hit until the Bifrost effect wears off.
- If you get behind him, you will have many opportunities to deal damage.
- Watch out for his unblockable area of effect attack as he stabs the scythe into the ground. Make sure you back off when you see it coming and use your ranged attacks.
- Use your abilities like Spartan Fury and Spartan Valor to get the upper hand.
- Block and parry his combos and you will have a short time to attack him. But you have to back away right after a few hits or you will get hit by his unblockable attack.
- He also has double blue ring attacks in his arsenal that can quickly deplete your health. While they can’t be blocked, you can interrupt them with a shield strike. This will stun Fiske, allowing you to defeat him with your attacks.
- If you are confident in your parrying abilities, we suggest you take the Shield of Dauntless with you. This will help you deal damage every time you parry his attack.
