God of War Ragnarök: A boss fight has apparently brought many fans to despair
Did Kratos have fun in this fight? Definitely not some fans.
God of War Ragnarok chooses a pretty clever way when it comes to challenges: the action-adventure not only offers us five levels of difficulty plus accessibility options, but also turns the most difficult bosses into optional encounters.
As a result, only those players who want really tough bosses will face them. But one of those fights, for many fans, isn’t a tough but fair challenge, instead it’s a boss design that feels unbalanced and frustrating.
Reddit users are frustrated and annoyed with the boss design
When Ragnarök fans speak of “the hardest bosses”, it should be clear that either the Valkyrie Queen or certain berserkers are meant. The latter is the case here. The fight, which annoys some fans, is not a duel but lets us compete against three opponents at once, namely Svipdagr the Cold and the Sisters of Illska.
Especially in a team of three, they can wipe us off the tray pretty quickly. Svipdagr comes with a lot of unblockable attacks and is extremely aggressive, leaving us little choice but to focus on her first, while one of the sisters keeps us in check with ranged combat and the other keeps the NPC at our side busy.
Among the players who find the fight unfair is Reddit user IvanMosquito, who asks:
Is that just me or is the balance of the Svipdagr die Kalte and the sisters of Illska combat extremely unbalanced?

The fan admits going into the fight underleveled, but says that’s usually something he can deal with and goes on to complain:
THREE bosses with extremely high health in a small arena, with attacks that often overlap in a way that makes it impossible to avoid damage…
Also Reddit user rshotmaker generally doesn’t shy away from a challenge, but didn’t enjoy this fight:
In all my years in video games – all the Ninja Gaidens, all the Soulsbornes and everything in between – I’ve never seen a boss as poorly designed and unfun as this one.
The contribution of user yizhouse goes in the same direction:
There are fights that are hard and fun, but this one is totally unbalanced for me and not fun.

The comments on the posts are hotly debated
Many players agree. One of the frequently mentioned points of criticism is the fight with the camera, which many fans say they fought. In addition, many gamers complain that due to the opponents attacking at the same time, it is hardly possible to avoid a lot of damage or that you get hit in the back too often.
However, some fans also disagree and name other fights that they found more difficult or show strategies with which the confrontation was mastered well for them.
