How to defeat Soul Eaters in GoW Ragnarok
Veteran players know this stone creature’s attack pattern as it carries over to Ragnarok. Although most of his body remains unaffected by the blows, you can aim for his chest. This is the most vulnerable part that deals a lot of damage. All you have to do is hit him with the Leviathan Ax just as he is about to launch projectiles from his chest. You don’t have to worry too much about this as it can be blocked with a shield. The best strategy that can be used to defeat the Soul Eaters in GoW Ragnarok is to focus on each of them. While you will still be attacked by another Soul Eater, it can be avoided by being at a distance.
Additionally, these Soul Eaters shoot small grenade-like items that can be picked up from the ground if they don’t hit you. You can use them further to stun the Soul Eaters and attack them with an R3 special hit. What’s more, it only takes 2-3 hits with the Leviathan Ax to temporarily stun and bring the Soul Eater to its knees. This is when you can deal massive damage to Soul Eaters in GoW Ragnarok.
This is all you can do to defeat Soul Eaters in GoW Ragnarok.
