His attack style is very similar to Haklangr, if you beat him then Hardrefill will be easy. Or, if this is your first time encountering this boss, follow the tips below to kill Hardrefill in GOW Ragnarok.
How to beat Hardrefill: Berserker Boss
To defeat Hardrefill, you need to pay a lot of attention to dodging glowing red attacks. These attacks cannot be countered or scored through the shield. But the one with the yellow ring can be easily countered and will also stun Hardrefill.
- Countering the yellow ring’s attack with a shield is the best defense. A successful counterstrike will give you a few seconds to attack.
- Hardrefill is good with speed and evasion. It won’t stay within your attack range and quickly dodges.
- Avoid the green circle on the ground, it will rise into the air and attack from the sky.
- It’s best to wait for the yellow ring’s attack, cancel it with a shield, and then attack with an axe.
- Also avoid throwing weapons at him, most of them will be cancelled.
- There are two best moments for Hardrefill to attack, firstly when you successfully counter his yellow ring attack, and secondly when he lands from air to the ground with a heavy attack.
Hardrefill is not like Hvitserkr which summons smaller enemies, instead it will fight alone. This berserk boss will give you plenty of time to attack, the only problem is that he will dodge a lot. He won’t stay in one place, so be ready with your shield and ax when you see him coming towards you.
Rewards for killing Hardrefill:
Defeating Hardrefill will give you Asgard’s Fortitude, 25 Bonded Leather and 25 Shattered Runes. You will receive 1700 XP for Kratos and 375 XP for Freyas.
