What did everyone think of this fight? For me personally this boss is at the peak when it comes to Ragnarok bosses: very satisfying to fight against (parrying, runic combos) while being extremely difficult (for me atleast being underleveled, 1 hit and you're sent to the shadow realm) 😂 Also, I'm loving the leviathan axe right now as you probably noticed. That 3 hit finisher Pride of the Frost combo is insane!
While I personally struggle more with Gña, I agree that Hrölf is the perfect combination of difficulty and fun. There's just something about how none of his attacks feel unfair but still manage to be deadly and keep you on toes even after lots of practice.
Great display of masterful timing of parries, dodges and attacks. The fight looked so great! Would love to see you use realm shift builds as you did back then in gow 2018. For me that was peak satisfaction watching it.
Truthfully speaking he was actually very easy for me on GMGOW but I’m lvl 9 😭 Regardless he was easy because I spent a good time learning all the other berserkers moves and the king is pretty much a copy and paste
Is there anyone crazy enough to try to beat the Berserker King with just level 1 weapons and no amulets on? I have a new appreciation for the game every time I see you and Ongbal demolish a boss.
@Cheng Teoh I no damaged him here on gmgow ua-cam.com/video/mJl7sqgCENY/v-deo.html I could do this with no armor, only shield, axe, & blades if u'd be interested in watching a 50+min long video lol
wow, this is art. How many times did you attempt this out of curiosity? You make it look so easy. You've mapped his movement down and you know the next actions. great video
@@TheMETALICA40 I wonder if he practices the combos first, or the timing, or does a couple runs of just defending and getting the dodges and parried down on the boss
One thing that always amazes me about your gameplay is your ability/confidence to execute single dodges (without rolling) so well. Makes the the game looks so smooth. Kratos is almost never rolls when you play
I love that you're going ham on this guy and Freya just shows up in the back ground at 0:35 in awe like "Holy Shit Kratos, you look like you got this."
There’s so many amazing things you do here but the biggest one for me is you never hit air 2x in a row. Not once. You never held back on your strings either. Your cancels are crazy!
Mate, this was a *CLEAN* fight. I've learned so much from your videos, both in GOW 2018 and Ragnarok, in terms of what works best against bosses. Thank you for consistently giving us such awesome content, SmvR!
Mimir talking about cursed weapons when kratos has been carrying the things that killed his wife,kid, mother, father, and basically his whole extended family on his back
You are The Best so far Brother. I never seen any body fight & defeat the Bosses who has RED Health Bar on them especially on the hardest difficulty. You do it so smooth & stylist. You really make this look easy.
Just a tip, hopefully it helps people that have come here for help. This guy did an amazing job but if while you are fighting any opponent and they move and it’s hard to keep track of them. Just press R3 (ps5) and it will auto lock on them. Unfortunately I didn’t realize this until about 75% thru the game 😅
Your far too good brother. You & GBG are a different level to the rest of us 😂👌 top notch bro 😎 I’d like to hear about your process of going into these boss fights. Always so calm and collected while fighting.
Was so proud beating him yesterday on my 4th attempt on GMGOW, using resurrection stone and health bar almost gone. Then I saw this…..😅 you’re the most skilled GOW player my friend
Masterpiece! The first time I'm seeing someone fight this boss with so much variety and style. I think you make me appreciate this boss much more now along with the combat as well.
Estava aqui pensando, o jogo foi lançado não tem nem 3 meses, e o cara joga absurdamente bem, joga muito, imagine daqui 1 ano... Sempre serei seu fã Vincent. Abraço!❤️
Beautiful stuff dude. Got those parries into continuing your axe combo down to a science. No stance change though, don't blame you, timings feel weird in this game for it. What bosses are you going to annihilate for our enjoyment next?
Cheers. Yeah I didn’t have a chance to use it as it’s very situational. Instead you can instantly activate frost awaken in stance change which is a nice
How about the 3 sister berserkers? I genuinely hate that fight on GMGOW. Glad I plat the game on GMGOW but that fight really gave me headache. Fighting 1:1 boss seems more manageable than 3 bosses that any of them can 1 hit KO you
It took me roughly four hours to get the tells and strategy for this boss fight in GMGOW difficulty on my first playthrough. Doing it underleveled, with enemy with red healthbar and taking no damage is absolutely crazy. You are a monster my friend. I’d say it is impossible. But you prove me wrong
I still find it very funny that whenever your in the moment of fighting something so hard, and then you just casually pull out the Mimir Laser Eyes 😂 All seriousness though, that was a great fight. Always appreciate people who fight to their fullest and not just nuking their enemies.
I was contemplating not using Mimir towards the end as it’s extremely risky 😂 You’re telling me using realm shift and spamming scorched earth isn’t peak gameplay???? Haha thank you mate 👍
There is a quote from Jurassic Park 2 about a man who climbed Mount Everest without any oxygen. When the man comes back down, a reporter asks him "Why did you go up there to die?" The man simply replies "I didn't. I went up there to live." I always remember this quote whenever I see an @SmvR video when he purposely fights a boss while under-leveled.
Are you interested in doing a full immersive story run like you did for the previous game? Those videos were really awesome and taught me a lot, especially when fighting many enemies
I was going to ask him the same. Of course, it would that some time, but I would gladly wait and support for something that would be as worthy as that. Same with Ragnarok
Good video man! I think something that I'm lacking is the whole runic combinations and that sort of thing. I just can't get that stuff down. I'm even maxed out on all my Leviathan ax stuff but against bosses like this can't get it right hahaha
SmvR ive been waiting for your videos on this game. I consider you the best video game player ever lol you make everything seem like a damn movie. I bet you can make a video of you and freya not taking any damage at all lol
Imagine this fight from King Hrolf Kraki's perspective. You've crushed countless warriors beneath you, and more than enough heroes have tried to dethrone you. The Realm knows your path of destruction and your unending might. You've vanquished all of your foes, and fought every manner of soldier and beast. Even in death, your soul remains formidable and undaunted. And in walks a foreign god wearing a primitive leather pauldron, and you can't even touch him. Early in your battle you're pinned up against the wall you created to trap your opponents, but now you're the one who is being run up against the ice with a flurry of flame. The fire burns unlike any ember in Muspelheim, any magical fire, and feels as if it is of a different world entirely. Your enemy switches between his three weapon sets with light-sundering speed, and his resolve only seems to build as the fight progresses. The only time he runs is to reposition for an attack, or to take advantage of an opening he created. Any swing of your blade bounces off of his shield, any blast of bifrost and seidr magic is dodged with a casual sidestep. None of your steps have been careless, none of your attacks have been miscalculated, and have fought as savagely as you always have, yet still you fail. And as you see your blade in his hands, sticking out of your gaudy chestpiece, you can only reel in shock and horror as you fall to this man, stoic but enraged, tempered but vengeful, valiant but savage, who spoke nary a word as he ripped the remaining life from your ghostly form
Man, wtf, it's unbelievable)) I change difficulty to lowest and set checkpoints in battle, and only then I beat this fight)) and those tiny steps from many attacks, while I every time rolls from anything - omg, how i never notice this in my walkthrough
This is mind blowing. I couldn't beat this boss on Balance difficulty and had to switch to story, just for this one though. I am awestruck to see how easily you tackled them. Thank you so much for this amazing show.
I've been fighting him recently, and I've come really close, but in the last bits either i mess up my timing with a wrong attack, or he randomly does his floating magic which comes out instantly when close to him. At least for me. Is always such a joy watching you play, you are so damn good, and it gives me ideas, as well as helps me understand some timings
Absolute legend,i've followed you since you played gow 2018 and you just never fail to impress with the gameplay! One question,which of the berserkers were the most hardest for you to beat?

Also, I'm loving the leviathan axe right now as you probably noticed. That 3 hit finisher Pride of the Frost combo is insane!
It’s between him, the three berserkers, and Gna that can be difficult…for me at least 😅
U r absolutely amazing men 👍🏻😂 #godkiller

@@jackrigby5186 Well said. When the bifrost covers your entire health bar the nerves start kicking in haha
This guy was the toughest of all the Berserkers by far, i beat him on on Give Me Balance but i cant' imagine facing him on GMGOW 😂
Good stuff!
Haha same mate, just beat him today after 2 hours of trying. Even went the super tanky and hp restoration build too.
It's torture
@@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit Yeah i lost at least 10 times to this guy before finally beating him lol
Truthfully speaking he was actually very easy for me on GMGOW but I’m lvl 9 😭
Regardless he was easy because I spent a good time learning all the other berserkers moves and the king is pretty much a copy and paste
Is there anyone crazy enough to try to beat the Berserker King with just level 1 weapons and no amulets on?
I have a new appreciation for the game every time I see you and Ongbal demolish a boss.
Thank you! I’m sure I’ll do it eventually as it’s the only way to be “gear level 1”
yk whats funny ab the amulets idk u had to have 3 for it to work so i didn’t use them at all for my first play through
@@luqadam408 not all of them are a set
@Cheng Teoh
I no damaged him here on gmgow ua-cam.com/video/mJl7sqgCENY/v-deo.html
I could do this with no armor, only shield, axe, & blades if u'd be interested in watching a 50+min long video lol
U can change the way you look and weapons and keep the power levels. Goto edit
Mad respect. This fight is not easy and imagine going in under leveled. Absolutely impressive.
when fps is smooth game is easy i played gow 2018 on weak pc that was hard even in easiest
Loved that kratos finally called him (mimir) brother
This really feels how Kratos would defeat these bosses, your videos are amazing, thank you for sharing
wow, this is art. How many times did you attempt this out of curiosity? You make it look so easy. You've mapped his movement down and you know the next actions. great video
Thanks! 1-2 hours max. Using Mimir towards the end kept getting me killed 😂
@@SmvR glad to hear how many attempts it takes or that even you make mistakes sometimes
@@jaradrichardsC137 I know hes a god but he makes mistakes too
@@TheMETALICA40 I wonder if he practices the combos first, or the timing, or does a couple runs of just defending and getting the dodges and parried down on the boss
@@jaradrichardsC137 not sure but what about his creativity and decision making?you cant practice that
One thing that always amazes me about your gameplay is your ability/confidence to execute single dodges (without rolling) so well. Makes the the game looks so smooth. Kratos is almost never rolls when you play
I was waiting for you to upload this, and didn't dissapoint, this boss was insane, great job.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I love that you're going ham on this guy and Freya just shows up in the back ground at 0:35 in awe like "Holy Shit Kratos, you look like you got this."
There’s so many amazing things you do here but the biggest one for me is you never hit air 2x in a row. Not once. You never held back on your strings either. Your cancels are crazy!
Damn bro you’re insane, as usual. Was expecting a no damage run but lvl 6 kill is mighty impressive.
The way that fight was finished was awesome. Throw the axe and call it for s smash down. Awesome.
I thought u was elite level on my god of war videos but watching you I realise there’s a god level 😂
The way he pans the camera around and the start and Freya is just standing there watching 😂
I never realized you can continue a combo after a block. I already beaten the two hardest bosses, but I guess I still have room to grow
Mate, this was a *CLEAN* fight. I've learned so much from your videos, both in GOW 2018 and Ragnarok, in terms of what works best against bosses. Thank you for consistently giving us such awesome content, SmvR!
Loving the output, man!
Appreciate it! 🙏🏻
Mimir talking about cursed weapons when kratos has been carrying the things that killed his wife,kid, mother, father, and basically his whole extended family on his back
Only Wife and Child , the rest were Blades of Exile or Athena
Not to diss on the other shields, but the dauntless shield is the most fun to use
Absolutely amazing.
Awesome display! It's a joy to watch your videos!
Have you just cancelled the green splash with the Frost Awaken at 0:44?
This is by far the greatest GOWR gameplay I’ve ever seen.
You are The Best so far Brother. I never seen any body fight & defeat the Bosses who has RED Health Bar on them especially on the hardest difficulty. You do it so smooth & stylist. You really make this look easy.
The axe is just too good against the berserkers lol! This was amazing! No damage is a big feat especially underleveled like this🔥🔥
Absolutely insane gameplay. Preternatural skills. Love the content.
Damn ur gameplay is amazing!, and i have question How's the game with u so far? And which one is better ragnarok or the previous game?
Just a tip, hopefully it helps people that have come here for help. This guy did an amazing job but if while you are fighting any opponent and they move and it’s hard to keep track of them. Just press R3 (ps5) and it will auto lock on them. Unfortunately I didn’t realize this until about 75% thru the game 😅

NOW THAT'S THE EFFING "GOD OF WAR"!!!... It literally felt like I just watched a movie right now 😎
Was so proud beating him yesterday on my 4th attempt on GMGOW, using resurrection stone and health bar almost gone. Then I saw this…..😅 you’re the most skilled GOW player my friend
Masterpiece!
The first time I'm seeing someone fight this boss with so much variety and style. I think you make me appreciate this boss much more now along with the combat as well.
Thanks laffy 😁
@@SmvR yeah you definitely made me appreciate the combat in this game way more
I’m crying this is so beautiful poetic.
Godly gameplay! The berserker king must of took me about 50 attempts 😅
Estava aqui pensando, o jogo foi lançado não tem nem 3 meses, e o cara joga absurdamente bem, joga muito, imagine daqui 1 ano... Sempre serei seu fã Vincent. Abraço!❤️
Kratos is definitely thinking of the Blades of Chaos while talking of the sword
Impressive. Nice job. Want to see this for gna. Trying gna now. And how did you get that mimir attack? Lol
Nice camera angle on Freya's attack 👌
The Ending Fight Is So Satisfying Man When you reveal your face smvr 😄
Incredible gameplay as always, you're just on another level, as you were back on gow 2018. Mad respect
Beautiful stuff dude. Got those parries into continuing your axe combo down to a science. No stance change though, don't blame you, timings feel weird in this game for it. What bosses are you going to annihilate for our enjoyment next?
Cheers. Yeah I didn’t have a chance to use it as it’s very situational. Instead you can instantly activate frost awaken in stance change which is a nice
As for next, I don’t know yet
How about the 3 sister berserkers? I genuinely hate that fight on GMGOW. Glad I plat the game on GMGOW but that fight really gave me headache. Fighting 1:1 boss seems more manageable than 3 bosses that any of them can 1 hit KO you
Kratos : "hmph"
Freya : "Bro's really into this fight"
Mimir : "still unpleasant!"
Btw amazing gameplay as usual, salute
Holy shit man I missed you from GOW 2018. Gameplay is amazing but your confidence on the camera work while fighting? Insane
Theres alot of people doing no hit videos but you pull it off with the most style.
Bro, you are ridiculously good
It took me roughly four hours to get the tells and strategy for this boss fight in GMGOW difficulty on my first playthrough. Doing it underleveled, with enemy with red healthbar and taking no damage is absolutely crazy. You are a monster my friend. I’d say it is impossible. But you prove me wrong

Great gameplay as usual 🙏🏼 and funny enough I also just beat the King yesterday on GMGOW.
Nice work!
Amazing display of gamer skill!
Great job as always SMVR
I still find it very funny that whenever your in the moment of fighting something so hard, and then you just casually pull out the Mimir Laser Eyes 😂

You’re telling me using realm shift and spamming scorched earth isn’t peak gameplay???? Haha thank you mate 👍
You’re insane 🔥
You sir are a master of this game. Mad props
This was better than a cinematic. Incredible skill and style. Well done.
What's cool about these Berserkers is that they're the replacements for Valkyries (as hidden bosses).
Great gameplay dude!
Pure poetry. The only time I fought a red health bar was when I accidentally pulled up on the untamed fury
I'm starting to think that Kratos is real, and it's you.
These moves bro 👌 💯
This dude just build different…combos on 🔥🔥🔥
Bruh this was insane 🔥
Thanks ngp 😁
Freya @ 0:36 "YoU I WoUlD'Ve BeAtEn YoU!"
Kratos: Are you sure about that?
There is a quote from Jurassic Park 2 about a man who climbed Mount Everest without any oxygen. When the man comes back down, a reporter asks him "Why did you go up there to die?"

Very comparable, that bloke should watch this to truly see what being alive looks like

I was going to ask him the same. Of course, it would that some time, but I would gladly wait and support for something that would be as worthy as that. Same with Ragnarok
So many videos to make, I’m sure I’ll do it eventually 👍
No worries. Like I said, I know this type of work requires tons of patience and time
@@SmvR I've been thinking since the game came out, man I can't wait for Smvr immersive playthrough
6:35 i spilled my water =))) dude you evil
Good video man! I think something that I'm lacking is the whole runic combinations and that sort of thing. I just can't get that stuff down. I'm even maxed out on all my Leviathan ax stuff but against bosses like this can't get it right hahaha
Peep that Freya combo though
The anxiety i get whenever you charge up an attack while being a millimeter out of the red circle.
The fact that “Hammer of Thor” is playing in the background makes this Fuckin’ WAR of a video so much better ❤
I feel sad for King Hrolf , he tried so many attacks, but he couldn't even hit once 🤣 YOU ARE THE BEAST BRO !!
GBG: canon kratos playstyle
SmvR: calm and reasonable playstyle
my man so calm, he even gave freya a screen time @1:07
These fights are very challenging and gbg stream he did yesterday just fighting them berserkers took my 6 hours.
Just beat the berserker king and gna today by watching your videos. I used your strategy! Thanks bro!
Man your playstyle is insane keep it up 👌
Insane🔥🔥🔥,you deserve 1m subscribers
Wow that was awesome! You used the camera in a way that made the fight very cinematic, really nice done!
Your the best god of war player I've ever seen it motivates me to get better
Good to hear 💪🏻
Love the aggressive gameplay. It keeps me coming back to your channel.
SmvR ive been waiting for your videos on this game. I consider you the best video game player ever lol you make everything seem like a damn movie. I bet you can make a video of you and freya not taking any damage at all lol
The last part is extremely tough. Once your whole health is covered with bifrost, 1 hit and it is over.
I love this gameplay no realm shift. Just straight brawling
favourite content creator in youtube
I physically cannot process how you did this
Great videos as always! Your skill is something to behold
Dominant display! Is this your favourite outfit ? Haven’t seen you use another 😂
Thanks! Using starting gear mostly because I’m not experimenting with builds yet. My favourite is actually dark dale but I didn’t pre order lol
@@SmvR Hunter build next? Or realm shift build, it’s actually insane imo😄
@@AAbiolAA my family would disown me if I used a realm shift build but Hunter build sounds cool 😎

This guy looks fun AF
He is indeed, keen to see the “leviathan axe master” vs the king 👑
Your axe gameplay is inspiring for real
I wish to be half as good as you are one day. Absolutely amazing and a joy to watch.
So nice seeing actual combat. Sucks seeing the obvious level gating this game has tho. Nice fight man!
Absolutely killed it 🔥Top tier gameplay
You can USE Mimir's bifrost eyes?! That's so cool!
Amazing work as always.
I've been fighting him recently, and I've come really close, but in the last bits either i mess up my timing with a wrong attack, or he randomly does his floating magic which comes out instantly when close to him. At least for me.
Is always such a joy watching you play, you are so damn good, and it gives me ideas, as well as helps me understand some timings
Sigrun or GNa Or King harder in your opinion?
Amazing fight🔥
Absolute legend,i've followed you since you played gow 2018 and you just never fail to impress with the gameplay! One question,which of the berserkers were the most hardest for you to beat?
Thanks for your support 🙏🏻
3 berserkers at once in Alfheim
thanks for not just stun locking him. want to see a proper fight with every skills being used like a true master.
Freya was just standing there like : Boys☕
