In Norse mythology, Nidhogg is more of a parasite than a protector. He chews on the roots of Yggdrasil, and he's one of the few who will survive Ragnarok.

I was not expecting this fight when it happened. It caught me off guard, how very cool it is. It’s a very critical point in the game where Kratos gets an alley, a possible friend. I was worried about Freya’s role in the story, I’m glad of the way it turned out
What’s also cool is the foreshadowing. You can see one of her children chewing on the roots prior to the fight, getting the explanation on what she does.
I believe Ratotoskr had fooled nidhogg into protecting the world tree roots before Odin ever placed his curse upon Freya. In Norse mythology, nidhogg is a parasite that chews on the roots. Now she nests her children in the realm between realms and guards the roots to protect her young from realm tears and potential danger
That moment when she was semi-freed and says "finally" and runs towards Kratos and Nighogg was brilliant. For a split second i really thought "holy shit, what's she gona do?? attack me or the monster??"
Just finished the fight 5 mins ago and it ruled. Besides the sheer spectacle and bonkers action the fight kept evolving with cool mechanics. Incredible fight.
Freya's cry when she casts the spell to close the portal on Nidhogg, and also the cry she makes when she screams Kratos' name at the start of the game both give me chills. The voice actress is top tier.
To be fair there was less than minute of continue of fighting before Nidhogg got killed by closed space rift. The rest lasted time is just post-fight cutscene.
It's weird to see Kratos fighting alongside Freya, especially after what happened at the end of the last game. Maybe she realized that her spell did more harm to Baldur than good.Why else was he searching for someone strong enough to kill him?
Freya always knows the spell is more harmful, but she can't give it away. Just like you have a deathbed parent, and you could take away their misery. Many people can't do it. She always knew that, just as Kratos said, he shouldn't the one who decides who lives, it should be Fraya's decision. Just that's Kratos has grateful for her and doesn't want her to die.
@@I_like_modeling_Monsters922 kratos also knew baldur was going to turn out just like him hus vengeance wouldnt have stopped with freya, he wouldve likely tried to go after odin
I encountered only 1 glitch in my playthrough, and even then it was a very minor glitch. A random npc was just walking into a wall for like 10 seconds and then suddenly vanished lol.
I initially was a bit disappointed by Nidhogg's size (it should be even bigger than Jörmungandr), but thinking back at it, it makes sense. Kratos and Atreus triggered Ragnarök way earlier than it was supposed to, so Nidhogg probably still had to reach that size.
This was so epic! I played it on my friends ps5. We don’t get anything like this on Xbox! It’s like a movie but you’re playing it. The effects and graphics are amazing! Considering selling my series x and getting a ps5. The way it just came out of that portal like that, the way it stretched it out and the way it moved, I have never seen anything like it on Xbox. The way kratos dragged it out was badass! I was yelling “Holy sh@t!” “Holy sh@t” And got goosebumps haha
this fight is incredible AAAAND THE FUCKING SCORE “THE HIDDEN BEAST” SLAPS SO HARD I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT 😭😭😭 my admiration for bear mccreary never ceases
And to put it in perspective, Thor never bothered Freya. Odin kept her bound to Midgard in fear she would raze everything in her path to destroy him. Before kratos came along he probably figured Freya and Laufey would bring about Ragnarok
9:10 the writers are so brilliant, making Freya’s reaction to being finally free perfectly mirror Baldur’s reaction to feeling pain again. Like that is EXACTLY how it looked, glowing markings and everything.
I do not know why a creature such as this would be so devoted to guarding the roots of a tree, but she gave her life in their defense. Odin exploited Níðhögg's purpose - protecting the roots of the World Tree - to guard the curse he placed upon Freya. To use an otherwise innocent being's nature to lead it to destruction is a vile practice I do not regret slaying Nidhogg to gain Freya's freedom... but how many others are in the unwitting service of Odin? How many more will lie dead because of it? - Kratos
Omg the sound design is the God of war 1 hydra's! what a throw back! I had god of war 1 ps2 on release. Been around since. Played all main console games. And psp eventually rebought on ps3
This is one of my favorite fights in here reminds me of the basilisk and the scylla fights from the psp titles it was well done especially when Freya joins the fight makes it more awesome
The only bad critique I have about Nidhogg is that we never get an armour set based on her look. We got one for the dragons, stone jewels, volcanoes even the damn ravens get an armour set but why don't we have one for Nidhogg?
@@NaK-Ragree, killing her made no sense to me here. Freya knew she was also a victim of Odin but chose to kill her when she fled. She actively chose to kill her when letting her live would have been the wiser option and wouldn’t risk more harm to her or Kratos if Nidhogg decided to just turn around and fight to the death once flight was stolen from her.
I really wish they didn’t have to kill Niðhögg. She was only doing her job. I wish they could have tried to communicate with her instead. I mean, Freya is a Vanir goddess, & I thought the Vanir always had a strong connection with nature, which included talking to animals. Re-edit: Plus, she literally asked a Kelpie to take her & Kratos to the Norns in the game. I don’t see why they couldn’t just escape & ask for assistance from her Vanir brethren to try & speak to Niðhögg. Sad, really.😔
@The Reply Man They had to kill it because it was protecting the world tree branches that were blocking the way for Freya to break free from her curse, as long as it was alive, it would keep attacking them so it's not out of character, you obviously didn't play the game.
It would be incredible Great reference to the classics if there were the kraken and dragons that we released in the previous game for us to fight I feel like we will still face them in the future + the others gods of Asgard They didn't show up and the Norse heroes Beowulf and Siegfried/Sigurd I hope they are used in the future,I really hope it happens.. 🤔🥺🙏 like and Bye!
Eh... Not sure I like this depiction of Nidhogg. In the myth, he was a serpent (or dragon) in Niflhiem that chewed on the roots of Yggdrasil, and consumed the souls of the damned (Adulterers, kinslayers and oathbreakers, the worse crimes ones could commit in Viking society) that washed up on the shores of Nastrond. He was basically, the Norse Devil and survived Ragnarok.
Although I am fine with the depiction in-game I would’ve loved it to be like the way you described. Still pretty cool we got to fight it though, always wanted to actually kill Nidhogg in a game.
He's also supposed to be winged, with his "home" in the roots of Yggdrasil called "Nastrond" or the "Corpse-Shore", a sea of blood with the shore literally made up of corpses.
The game portrays the dragon as smaller than Jormungandr which isn't really Mythologically accurate as Jormungandr encircles only one realm while Nidhogg encompasses the roots of Yggdrasil making him an interdimensional being chewing on the roots of said tree.
I playing in hard (one less than god of war dif) and so far so fun... I could beat this one after few tries... I needed to lower it while fighting the librerian (the lady that keep the library, in spanish bibliotecaria).... That was hell harder
Was nidhogg a sentient being or was it just a wild animal? I ask because Ratatoskr sold her as a more or less intelligent being but well she doesn't seem to be able to speak.
3:15 what is Nidhogg doing here? Is it literally opening up its belly to absorb people or is it just opening a gateway? If it's its stomach, does anyone know if there's a basis for this in the mythology?
@yog2917 Perhaps, but you have to admit, it's such a *bizzare* move you can't help but wonder if there was some obscure story of Nodhogg eating someone with its belly...or if someone was just high while designing the boss lol
Nidhogg *can* open a rift to move, but it's not what it is doing here. It is just opening its belly trying to suck Kratos in and after realizing it failed, it spits back at him the gravel it ate.
Because Jormungandr is the world serpent and is described as being so large it could circle the entire world and grasp its own tail. Nidhogg was never the same size or even close.
@@gbtygfvyg Depends on how you look at it. Yes, Jormungandr encircles Midgard. But Midgard(and all the other 9 realms) are within/upon Yggdrasil, and Nidhogg makes its home in Nastrond/"Corpse-Shore" at the roots of Yggdrasil.
Does anyone think that Freya might be some kind of love interest to Kratos or should be I mean their moments sure seems like progress Of making chemistry and romance I mean Atreus sure seems to like her i’ve seen moments where she’s like a mother to him so yeah I think so
NOTHING is happening when I hit Freya's sigils with the blades when she tells me to burn them in stage 2 of the fight. I don't know if this is a bug or feature or what but this fight was already tedious and frustrating on No Mercy
I feel bad for nidhogg it was just doing its job that i wouldn't not have tried to slain it damn that bastard for putting this amazing protector on the life line....
I guess I suck at this game, feel like I always just end up just smashing buttons and hoping for the best til my hand gives out and I die or the kill enemy.
Yea this fight is very tricky, I just beat it on Give me No Mercy. The best advice I can give is just dodge the entire fight, then wait for Freya to tell you to attack. If you try being aggressive, this boss will just combo you to death in 1 or 2 hits. It feels like an Elden Ring boss
I guess it’s a good thing they downsized Nidhogg’s size. Nidhogg in the real mythology is so big that it puts Jormungandr to shame. I’m not sure even Kratos could kill something that envelops the universe.
The size of a creature in this franchise doesn't mean it's stronger than someone smaller, they just didn't make Nidhogg that big so they wouldn't repeat the mistake they made with the dragon from the previous game, which is a lot of spectacle but little fun.
@@martinc8965 listen. I know Kratos has killed beings of sizes comparable to jotuns, however Nidhogg from the actual mythology is so big, Kratos isn’t even an amoeba in size compared to it. I know Kratos has killed some impossible stuff, but I just can’t think it’s possible for even Kratos to kill something that’s galactic size at least.
Hes not just fighting greek gods anymore, he's fighting the very fabric of reality at this point. As he progresses in his travels, kratos will likely end up in america and either battle some crazy ass native spirits or battle some intense aztec deities
Did you have that much of a hard time with it? It was fairly easy even on the combat difficulty. Not sure about “give me god of war” that one must be tough Forsure.
This fight was classic God of War moment. I was smiling from ear to ear.

True nidhogg was like a parasite if he enter each Norse realms when everyone get too close to the world tree roots.
Maybe that explain the concept of Nidhogg Parasite on Devil May Cry 5.

Fun fact: while fighting nidhogg if you throw your axe on nidhogg too much, freya will say: İs this what sparta tought you? Meele attacks!
Man after how Ratatoskr explained how important she was I 100% did not want to kill her
I believe Ratotoskr had fooled nidhogg into protecting the world tree roots before Odin ever placed his curse upon Freya. In Norse mythology, nidhogg is a parasite that chews on the roots. Now she nests her children in the realm between realms and guards the roots to protect her young from realm tears and potential danger
Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how on point the music during this whole fight is?
That moment when she was semi-freed and says "finally" and runs towards Kratos and Nighogg was brilliant. For a split second i really thought "holy shit, what's she gona do?? attack me or the monster??"
This is honestly one of the coolest battles I’ve ever done in any game
Agreed

I legit yelled "WHAT THE FUCK?!?" when Nidhogg appeared out of nowhere.
I also kept yelling at Freya like "Will you shut up woman?!" Lol
😆 SAME!
Same here 😅
OH MY GOD THAT STRETCHY PORTAL IS SO COOL
6:26 "It's weak! It won't last much longer!" meanwhile the other 6 minutes of the video
To be fair there was less than minute of continue of fighting before Nidhogg got killed by closed space rift. The rest lasted time is just post-fight cutscene.
What un underrated boss fight!!! For me one of most incredible of the entire serie
I was expecting Rattatoskr to be pissed when he learned we killed Níðögg. Was pretty surprised when it didn’t faze him at all.
It's weird to see Kratos fighting alongside Freya, especially after what happened at the end of the last game. Maybe she realized that her spell did more harm to Baldur than good.Why else was he searching for someone strong enough to kill him?

Play the game. Kratos confessed his past with her. Helped her put things into perspective.
There conversation's during this mission goes deep. They both learn more about their past and come to an understanding
Glad you showed this. This game glitches so much that mine actually skipped the actual death of it. Glad to see what really happend
I encountered only 1 glitch in my playthrough, and even then it was a very minor glitch. A random npc was just walking into a wall for like 10 seconds and then suddenly vanished lol.
thats a shame, the way Nidhogg dies was so hype
Do you have a PS4 or a PS5 if it’s a PS then I think you need. To go clean that it because I haven’t counted 1 glitch on mine
I initially was a bit disappointed by Nidhogg's size (it should be even bigger than Jörmungandr), but thinking back at it, it makes sense.
Kratos and Atreus triggered Ragnarök way earlier than it was supposed to, so Nidhogg probably still had to reach that size.
It should definitely not bigger than the world serpent. There’s a reason why the world serpent, is the biggest creature in North mythology.
@@elviraweekes3906 Jormugandr is stated to wrap around Midgard, Nidhogg chews the roots of the world tree itself.

this fight is incredible AAAAND THE FUCKING SCORE “THE HIDDEN BEAST” SLAPS SO HARD I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT 😭😭😭 my admiration for bear mccreary never ceases
2:32 - Freya is a true warrior! Truly beautiful and epic moment...
She fights similar to how the Dragonborn in Skyrim would from a lore perspective
And to put it in perspective, Thor never bothered Freya. Odin kept her bound to Midgard in fear she would raze everything in her path to destroy him. Before kratos came along he probably figured Freya and Laufey would bring about Ragnarok
And here I thought Nidhogg was suppose to Gnaw on the Yggdrassil Roots rather than Protecting it.
It is, but god of war mythology had always been different.
He does. The squirrel says that he does
It does. Ratatoskr has a dialogue where he explains that Nidhogg chews on the roots to prevent overgrowth.
It does protect the yggdrasil roots but it also chews on the roots to prevent overgrowth.
Her and ker brood so we don't have to worry more will be born
Well we can now put Nidhogg name on Kratos’s list of crazy giant monster he killed.
Let Not forget that Nidhogg is one of the Beast of Ragnarok in Norse.
How Freya killed it was so awesome....
9:10 the writers are so brilliant, making Freya’s reaction to being finally free perfectly mirror Baldur’s reaction to feeling pain again. Like that is EXACTLY how it looked, glowing markings and everything.
This boss was so fucking kickass. Especially the way Freya finished it off
This fight would be more enjoyable if Freya wasn't saying something stupid every 4 seconds.

Agree it is such a raw line, the end of the fight takes away from it as while Odin did trick Nidhogg. Freya killed her when it made no sense
Omg the sound design is the God of war 1 hydra's! what a throw back! I had god of war 1 ps2 on release. Been around since. Played all main console games. And psp eventually rebought on ps3
That’s why it sounded so familiar to me when I was playing it. I couldn’t think of the boss for some reason. Lol
Odin used her to protect the spell, what a bastard
"What a bastard" sums up Odin's character for this whole game.
Yeah I felt a certain type of way about that u gotta be messed up pretty bad to use an animals nature against like that just wrong
Atreus killed a mother bear at the start of the game, now Kratos has killed a mother lindworm.

Not really
No, she needs to kill nidhogg so she can be freed from the other realms. I'm assuming you didn't actually play the game.
No opportunities showed themselves before this point. Besides, she still needed Kratos's assistance

You can’t do that in these types of games unless. You are on the easiest difficulty you need to, practice and get better so you don’t do that.
Yeah. Fight this on Give Me God Of War, wuss
for reals bro. I really couldn't afford to get hit at all in this battle. I'm sure it's a breeze on the lower difficulties
What the fuck, this is so hard
I was trying impress my girl Freya with my badass combos 😂😂😂
Tobi Kadashi ?

Good one
How do it trigger when he changes at me
I tried to beat this fuckin stupid boss for an hour. Im tired and bored… over it
It’s a bitch move but if you need to, switch it to give me a story for the fight
@@theflyingegg3557 That is a bitch move. Kept it on Give me balance and beat this thing first try
Yea this fight is very tricky, I just beat it on Give me No Mercy. The best advice I can give is just dodge the entire fight, then wait for Freya to tell you to attack. If you try being aggressive, this boss will just combo you to death in 1 or 2 hits. It feels like an Elden Ring boss
@@jesusleyva4386 its attacks are a lot to take in at first but once you learn all it's different moves you know how to counter.
@@greedgod5827 exactly
I guess it’s a good thing they downsized Nidhogg’s size. Nidhogg in the real mythology is so big that it puts Jormungandr to shame. I’m not sure even Kratos could kill something that envelops the universe.
The size of a creature in this franchise doesn't mean it's stronger than someone smaller, they just didn't make Nidhogg that big so they wouldn't repeat the mistake they made with the dragon from the previous game, which is a lot of spectacle but little fun.
@@martinc8965 listen. I know Kratos has killed beings of sizes comparable to jotuns, however Nidhogg from the actual mythology is so big, Kratos isn’t even an amoeba in size compared to it. I know Kratos has killed some impossible stuff, but I just can’t think it’s possible for even Kratos to kill something that’s galactic size at least.
@@jaredhamilton425 if you say so
I can't beat it
Is it just me or is Kratos weaker? He used to be able to take down enemies like this as a tutorial boss.
Hes not just fighting greek gods anymore, he's fighting the very fabric of reality at this point.
As he progresses in his travels, kratos will likely end up in america and either battle some crazy ass native spirits or battle some intense aztec deities
@@marcusbullock630 Or a nanomachine enthusiast who played college ball.
Kratos is holding back because he doesn't want his rage to control him again.
Hes holding back creators have said this. If he wanted to help could go all out but that would make all characters and story. Too easy
hes getting older it makes sense
Also he stopped training a long time ago and now hes getting in shape
Even so it's impressive
Stack for Akh Morn.
I understood this reference
This battle overstayed it's welcome to me. My least favorite boss battle so far
How so?
Did you have that much of a hard time with it? It was fairly easy even on the combat difficulty. Not sure about “give me god of war” that one must be tough Forsure.
@@kevinuribe318 pretty easy on give me no mercy but definitely not as cool as everyone is making it out to be.
Fiske was a cooler fight
dose anyone knows what the music is called when you fight it?
The hidden beast by Bear McCreary
@@PrimalDragon1740 it's not that

@@riahisama the violin part (hardanger fiddle maybe?) doesn’t appear in the song. I love it
@@hannesroose3307 yeah I'm trying to find the track's name
What dificult
