How to Slay Kara Without Getting Hit in God of War

kara is one of the Valkyries that’s located over at The River Pass zone in Midgard. In order to get to her, you must have beaten the main story or progressed far enough and acquired the chisel that unlocks hidden chambers throughout the world of Midgard.

If you’re looking for a visual guide please refer to the fully voiced video guide below and if you need to find her please refer to The River Pass collectible guide.

Kara is quite a tough one and she has the ability to summon Draugar the basic minions of Midgard. While they may not seem to be that threatening at first, but believe me they are. Every time you kill the whole batch of them Kara will re-summon the higher tier of Draugar including the dual-ax-wielding berserks that run at you at crazy speeds, ranged attackers and even Draugars that are equipped with a shield and block your every attack unless it’s runic powered.

So what’s the best way to face off against Kara and how do you kill her without getting hit? Well, what you have to do is attack her right at the beginning as much as possible and when she summons the first batch of Draugar you have to use your runic power and kill 3 of them out of the total of 5 that she summons. Leave the other 2 Draugar up and start making circles in the room, equip your Leviathan Axe and start spamming the throw attack at Kara. If she goes in the air to attack you with her missiles, downward scythe or halo throws she will get instantly stunned and be put on the ground for a few seconds which will leave her vulnerable for more attacks. Use Atreus to distract the other 2 Draugar from you, so you can keep circling around the room and spamming the axe throw attack. She will never summon any more enemies unless one of the 2 Draugars die. Keep it focused, stay calm, dodge her attacks (they’re pretty easy), rinse and repeat and she will be dead before you know it.

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.
