Valkyries (No Hits)

God of War has optional bosses that you must slay in order to obtain a trophy called “The Chooser of the Slain” It’s quite a challenging trophy that requires you to slay all the 9 Valkyries that are in the game. However, you can only fight the last Valkyrie Sigrun after you’ve defeated the other 8 Valkyries and placed all of their helmets at the Council of Valkyries area in Midgard. Gaming Instincts has you covered on how to kill each Valkyrie and what’s the best way to do it and how to do it without getting hit a single time.

Bosses Walkthrough (No Hits)

Throughout the epic father and son story in God of War the duo will be facing against some of the Midgard’s mightiest (and not so mightiest) trolls, gods and creatures that may or may not pose a big threat to the newcomers or returning fans of the franchise.

God of War (2018) Final Verdict

Leonid Melikhov

Hello everyone, my name is Leo and I am the proud founder of Gaming Instincts. I've been working in the Gaming Industry for over 6 years professionally. However, in my recent times I have decided to go create a new path for myself and that path began with Gaming Instincts. I loves many different types of games genres including FPS, RTS, TPS, MMOs, Arcade Racers and many more. One of my favorite current developers is From Software the creators of the Soulsbourne games. My friends also thing I am crazy because I love trophy and achievement hunting on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I always strive to obtain 100% completion including DLC on some of the hardest games that are out in the market. Most notable and proud 100%s are Evolve, Overwatch, Battleborn and both of the Evil Within titles. Over the course of my 6 year career I had the pleasure to speak to some of the biggest publishers and developers in the world including 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare, Lionhead Studios, Naughty Dog, Ready at Dawn, Bungie, Activision, EA, Epic and many more. What does the future hold for me at Gaming Instincts and where shall we go? Only time will tell.
