How to Defeat Fraekni, the Zealous Berserker Soul in God of War Ragnarok
Here’s how you can defeat and win the battle against Fraekni, the soul of the zealous berserker, in God of War Ragnarok. If you haven’t been able to track down this mini-boss, just head to Midgard. There, on the frozen plain of the Lake of Nine, you will find her Tombstone. Just go ahead and interact with him to awaken one of the berserker’s souls. So let’s take a look at the tips and tricks to defeat Fraekni The Zealous in the game.
- Once you start the fight, we recommend that you attack her with some of your power moves. But remember to back off when she’s ready to attack at close range. She tends to strike with her rather large axe, which you can avoid by parrying.
- Another attack you should be aware of is her Dash. This attack is quite brutal only if you stand in its way. A simple step to the side can cause her to crash into icy walls. Players can read this dash whenever she jumps back and says “Lead me my king”.
- Also be aware of the aerial attacks she usually uses by stepping back and then jumping towards you to slice you. In this case, you can always use your Shield. According to players, she uses this attack quite often, so we recommend that you keep your best shield nearby. Players can cast this attack whenever she says Repent, but be careful even if she doesn’t.
- Fraekni The Zealous also shows some ground attack damage that you don’t have to worry about. Just make a jump and it’s pretty easy to get caught.
Once her health bar gets low, the game will offer an R3 button that you can press to end the fight. This is how you can defeat Fraekni The Zealous Berserker Soul in God of War Ragnarok. However, if you’re wondering what is the best weapon to use during this fight, scroll down to find the answers.
What weapon should I use to defeat Fraekni the Zealous in Midgard?
We recommend that you especially use the combination of the Leviathan Ax and Choas Blades and avoid using the spear. Using Blades and Ax will surely help you win the battle. Players can even throw an ax at the boss when he attacks and use Blades of Chaos in the meantime. Since the Leviathan Ax has a stun effect, just use it to win a couple of seconds. Also, don’t forget to use your shield whenever an enemy tries to strike with his axe.
That’s it for how to defeat Fraekni, the zealous berserker soul in God of War Ragnarok.
