If you have already fought this enemy, but cannot defeat him, then this article will help you. Check out this guide for some tips and strategies to defeat the Forest Ancient in GoW Ragnarok.
How to get through the Ancient Forest in GoW Ragnarok
Those who have ever encountered the Ancient Forest know that its body is impenetrable. However, there are a few weak spots that you can target to deal massive damage. The Forest Ancient launches projectiles from its chest, dealing significant damage. So be sure to roll out of the way or protect yourself if there is an incoming attack. A perfect defense against the Forest Ancient is the first step to defeating him in GoW Ragnarok.
The next step is to target the weaker spot, his exposed chest. Whenever the Ancient Forest is about to launch a projectile through its chest, you will get a small hole where you can use the Leviathan Ax to hit it. It may take only 2-3 hits of the Leviathan Ax to stun the Ancient Forest. This is when you can use R3’s special attack to deal lethal damage. Repeating it multiple times will result in the defeat of the Ancient Forest in GoW Ragnarok.
Also, keep in mind that this creature launches multiple orbs that deal damage if you get hit. Though, if it’s not, you can pick it up and throw it at the Ancient Forest to stun it.
That’s all you need to do to defeat the Ancient Forest in God of War Ragnarok.
