God of War (2018) Developers React to Incredible Valkyrie% Speedrun

Жыл бұрын

The Valkyrie's in God of War are a set of optionable bosses that can be taken on towards the end of the game. Turns out, beating them as fast as possible is quite popular with the speedrunning community. So watch as speedrunner Clowned187 takes on every single of these challenging foes on the game's hardest difficulty, no less. Also, did we mention that the developers who worked on this boss also happened to stop by to witness the feat? Ride along with Mihir Sheth (Lead Combar Designer), Denny Yeh (Lead Combat Designer), and Rob Meyer (Senior Staff Technical Combat Designer) from Sony's Santa Monica Studio as they watch this incredible speedrun.

For those wondering. This run was done on new game gmgow. Weapons and armor are not fully upgraded since you can't farm muspelheim and NG+ wasn't even available yet. Also, Katy (GUNNR) is named after Katy ""Parry" 😆

it's funny that the blades doing more dps was unintentional because it's nicely balanced out by the fact that you have to quick throw the axe to interrupt the valkyrie flying moves making it more risky to use the blades

Remember she has every attack from the others exceppt sommening enemies.

Runic attacks can cancel her attacks but sometimes they don't so be still on you guard when performing one.

The "Frost Laser" (nice name btw lol.) forces you into an animation where you can't move. When the Valks get lower in health they get much higher poise (glowing eyes) and can tank the laser. Ends up getting you hit or downed more often than not. Also, Hels Touch used with Borr's frozen shard has the highest damage stack for other runics and one of the lowest cooldown times.
