How to Beat Heimdall | Boss Fight | Creatures of Prophecy | God of War Ragnarok | No Commentary

You've already technically fought Heimdall once, as Atreus, during The Runaway. Of course, you couldn't lay a glove on him then, and you're actually going to have to hit him this time. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. Heimdall will dodge absolutely everything. You can try throwing your spear at him, but he'll catch it. He'll weave in and out of any flurries you make with your weapons. To make matters worse, he'll occasionally attack you with an unblockable move, that's almost impossible to dodge. So what do you do? To get started throw your Draupnir Spear at the ground, just in front of his feet, and then detonate it when he walks forwards. This will build up his stun meter, allowing you to get in close and attack with R3. Repeat this a couple of times until you finally draw blood. Now that you've damaged him, Heimdall will start to get sloppy. He's stilly tricky to hit, but when he slows down time you can deflect his attacks and hit him a few times once he's stunned. He'll start summoning Bifrost and flinging projectiles at you. Dodge them, and then when he charges up and creates a ripple into the ground, dodge roll out of the way and attack him while he's temporarily stunned. He'll generate a shield which you'll need to destroy before you can do damage to him, but rinse and repeat the above until you get an R3 prompt to launch a finisher. Watch the cutscene. Alright, you've made him mad now, and he has a full health bar again. He's going to be much more aggressive this time, which means he's open to more attacks. He'll rush at you with his new arm and try and punch the ground, so be sure to dodge out of the way of that. Deflect his attacks when he tries to swing at you and let rip. He'll also try that time slowing trick again, so just be patient and time up your parries to take him down. Occasionally he'll punch the ground really hard, introducing a Shield Check opportunity. Double tap L1 before he's able to get off his attack, and then let rip once more. There are moments where he will try to toss rocks at you, so it goes without saying: dodge out of the way of those. Knock down his health bar until the cutscene triggers, and watch what unfolds. At this point you'll unlock a Trophy named Comeuppance. Once you retake control, collect a Relic named the Hilt of Hofud and an Enchantment named Emblem of the Nine Realms.
