Glitch & Legit Ways to BEAT the Valkyrie Queen in God of War, Works 2022, Sigrun

We give you the build and tips to beat the Valkyrie Queen Sigrun. This toughest boss can be beat if you can do damage fast and avoid taking it. The glitch allows you to cheese the fight easily on any difficulty.
We advocate a cooldown build with the talisman of realms if you don't want to cheese Sigurn while dodging to the side. When she is flying Kratos is close to dying.
For the glitch way to defeat her easily you need a level 5 leviathan axe and the ranged skill "Returning Storm" and the Talisman of Betrayal obtained in Fafnir's Hoard favor for the dwarven blacksmith Sindri.

The talisman of betrayal glitch still works in Sept 2024. Thank you for showing a detailed video of how to effectively use it! I faced this Valkyrie so many times and came close to beating her a few times but she's just too damn quick and the glitch helps slow her down.

@@ALF_Playzzz I didn’t use exactly the same armour. Just used the combination he mentioned but it did take a few goes sometimes before it triggered.

[@krrish4879]

Can u you tell me in detail how to activate this slomo plss

[@petepete4402]

@@krrish4879 Upgrade talisman of betrayal to maximum upgrade. Make sure axe is in hand before starting battle. As soon as it starts all I did was get bit of distance from her quickly, then held L2 & press R3 to activate talisman. Then straight away press R2 to recall axe & immediately press R2 again. She should now be in slow mo. If she isn't then start checkpoint again & retry. Note: I believe if she hits you at the start while you're pressing the buttons then it won't work. If u take any damage at the beginning just restart checkpoint. Also keep distance during battle, if u take damage she may start at normal speed again

@@Marvelman199 Make sure axe is in hand before starting & talisman is max upgrade. Also if she hits you before pressing R2 twice then don't think it will start. Definitely works, just keep trying

[@J-S_93]

Thanks a lot for this - works: 17th/Jan/2024. To make it even easier, once she is slowed, get behind her back, and attack her wings with a light attack, over and over, constantly stunning her, and keeping behind her at all times - she will be infinitely stunned and you can kill her with this one attack movement. This was done on patch version 1.33. Don't know if the glitch works above this patch version or not. But I made sure to never let my game update either way; incase of in-game glitches that can be exploited, I tend never to update the games.

[@danielrosedale1543]

Great video and great strategy. Took me a few turns to get the slo mo down but once I got it working it was easy to take her down.

If i could upvote this an infinite amount of times I would. I started this game on Give me god of war thinking there would be a necessary achievment to beat the game on the hardest difficulty and when i found out there wasn't i was already so deep in to the game. I beat every single valkyrie on this damned BS difficulty and 30+ attempts on sigrun where I got her just over half HP gone and some bull shit would get me killed. THIS FREED ME, I have absolutely no guilt over cheesing this BS boss. Namely SOULY because of the difficulty. Watching normal difficulty or shit even the one higher her health pool is so beyond fucked in Give me god of war. I woulda killed her legit 3 times over on any other difficulty. THANK YOU SO DAMN much for giving me my revenge is was BEYOND SWEET.

Still works Sep2024 I’ve just done it, I’m on the latest update. Takes practice, took me about 4 goes to get it. When you get the glitch, my advice is just stick to light axe throws to take her down from a distance, spam square for the arrows and roll dodge all her attacks. Don’t let her hit you otherwise you might have to do it again.

I just done the fight about 11 times before trying this cause I didn’t want to use any glitch but eventually I just couldn’t be asked to risked popping a blood vessel

[@krajekdev]

For anybody still trying the "legit way". DO NOT TAKE EXAMPLE from this guy. You should do much less dodging and much more observing her and doing just enough to defend her current attack. - Move right not left all the time - Try staying in the middle no be squashed by the walls - Prioritize not getting hit, you can go through whole fight without getting hit - R3 pin her, so the view follows her as much as possible - Do not get exited, just calmly follow the moves

[@RemRise]

His playstyle was the worst, all my senses were screaming to parry and follow up with attacks. Which is much more effective than just running and rolling waiting for the runics to be active again.

I DID IT!!!!!!, dude thanks so muuuch!. Doubted at first but i got it after 15tries and kept my distance throwing my axe at her and recalling it😂😂. Just fyi some playstation 5 users its: L2 and R3, then double tap triangle x2. Still gotta doge her attacks though cos it packs on quite a punch and always have atreus shoot her down while she tries to jump on you. Hope this helps, goodluck to yall😂

[@lewiscwalker]

This seriously helped, I was using the completely wrong armour with zero cooldown.

[@ba6703]

Cheese method works in 2023. An improvement on the cheese method. Use Atreus Wolves runic attack to stun her right at the start of the fight, run off to the edge of the area and execute the cheese method. You will have around 10 seconds to pull it off. I lost and redid the slow mode 3 times. If you lose it, send the wolves. Don't use heavy attacks or runics. Hits tend to break it.

[@richarda2248]

Thanks a million mate! With your help I got the platinum…..

[@petep345]

You have to have Runic 250 to get the "Returning Storm" skill first before the glitch works. After you get the Returning Storm you don't need to maintain Runic at 250 you can change armors etc to your liking. PC version: Left Control (hold it down), middle mouse button (activates the Talisman), Right mouse button and Right mouse button again. Release Left Control. If you get hit while doing the sequence it wont work. If Atreus is in the picture it wont work. Jan/2023

THANK YOU! You saved my mental health!

[@0x_SHADOW_x0]

What you can also do to make the fight even more broken is after you initiate the slow mo, you can continue to spam the "heavy heavy" attack on Sigrun (L2 + R2 + R2/L2 + TRIANGLE + TRIANGLE) and doing that correctly keeps Sigrun stun locked for the entire fight, you can kill her from full health by spamming that attack over and over and she cannot get a single hit in and you can ride out out all the way until the R3 prompt shows up

[@Adriandz271]

Does this actually still work? Cause I ve been trying the legit way for 2 weeks and my mental health is going for a toss. I should try your method. I hope it helps.

[@teknul89]

This is the best method to use to beat Valkyrie Queen Sigrun killing her with slow motion makes it much easier to hit and dodge her and as long you are not getting hit you can keep attacking her without losing the slow motion and in case she hit you, you can do the process again
