God of War Ragnarok - KING HROLF KRAKI vs Ghost of Sparta: All Burdens, Sparta Set - GMGOW+ (PS5)
Ойындар
“May this weapon strike true. May it be wielded with wisdom. May it be put down when its job is done.” - Brok
The challenge:
- Beat King Hrolf with Sparta set, Aspis shield and all burdens on GMGOW, NG+.
Some notes/tips for this challenge:
Aspis shield parry window is equivalent to the Dauntless shields 'perfect parry'. By using Burden of Guard, you're essentially required to perfect parry every parriable attack Hrolf uses - failing to parry results in a guard break followed by instant death. Additionally, Aspis shield does decent damage on counter, so it's worth learning parry timings over dodging, as dodging will only drag the fight out longer + There's 1 move that forces you to parry so you may as well get used to it 🗿
The 2 main moves to learn are the hammer spins and hand blast.
- Hammer Spins: hrolf has 3 variations of swings: yellow ring (medium speed), red ring (slow - delayed), no ring (fast). Hrolf can mix these swings in any order (always ends in red ring). Towards the end of the fight, the hammer spin goes for double the duration and has crazier mix ups, so it's best to get a parry in asap followed by shield slam (R2 counter) as this interrupts his combo.
- Hand Blast: Hrolf raises his arms and releases energy - can't be dodged, only parried. There's 2 variations of this move: 1 with start up animation and the other without. It's essential to master both parry timings.
As for projectiles:
- The "down the hole" double projectile toss can be blocked, but not parried. It's not possible to dodge without rolling, unless you use an evasive attack after to stack iframes as shown in the video.
- Air projectile toss: Fast projectile in the middle followed by delayed projectiles both sides. Dodge first projectile and evasive attack the second (works close - medium range). You can out-run the projectiles at long range, but I failed to get it consistent. Instead use Valour parry.
more notes: stay close as possible, use valour, block immediatley when hrolf goes in air for blinding attack and spear is best for this fight: use syphon for stun build up. In the end it's all about your mechanics, gl.
Sens: 7/7, interact/evade swapped: O is dodge. strafe assist: on.

Fighting Hrolf w/ Sparta set, aspis shield and all burdens is the most difficult challenge I’ve ever completed across any game. Really appreciate that SMS added this build into the game so dedicated players can truly put their skills to the test! If anyone completes this challenge send me a link on Twitter so I can watch it ay? twitter.com/SmvR_4

Would love to see a second SmvR channel with some uncut gameplay. I’m in awe of the skill involved in playing at this level, but it always leaves me wanting more; given the time invested there must be plenty of content and I’m sure there’s an audience for it.
One thing that's make me love your gameplay style is, that you do not need to "brake" the game to show all the potential you have, nicely done man !!

I'm a huge GOW fan, especially of the last 2 games. I've played them so much and gotten really good at playing them both. Now, you are on a whole other level to me, I wish I was just a quarter as good as you. I watch alot of your videos because I think it's amazing how you can become so adept at this game, you make the most out of every single move, it's utterly phenomenal, I love watching your videos.
I’m learning so much about boss fights from this guy. New subscriber earned💪🏽
I’ve been trying this for days since the update came out. You’re unbelievable talented this one of the hardest feats to accomplish. Well done mate you’re a beast!
I can feel my heart racing just from watching!! Insane combos and your precision is immaculate words can’t describe how insane this is. Keep it up man!
Bruh, I literally spent 3 hours dying to this asshole on new game plus and he just finesses him like this lol love it! 2:26 Hrolf just stands there for a minute and thinks “damn, I haven’t hit this fool once….”
I have been a big fan of your GoW combat skills. Your combats are not just to defeat the opponent but the cinematics that is portrayed in the fight is amazing. Your timing of attack's and blocks are unmatched. I am pretty sure SMS took a lot of inspiration from your combats to make GoWR NG+ gears and make it even more challenging. I have shown your videos to the people at work who have nothing to do with video games and even they were stuck to the screen and didn't leave until fight was completed. I want to Thank You for your work. You really make Kratos look like a real SPARTA!!!

Beautiful, extremely disciplined gameplay as always!
Congrats dude! This will be quite the challenge, but I welcome it 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

Your play style of Kratos just looks so cool
Insane! Well done!
The artistry on display is inspiring.
This is the best thing a ever seen on my life. Unbeleaveble reflecks. Ten points!

The mastery of his art.
2:25 Hrolf was like shit how do I deal with this guy😂
This is art. Far beyond mere gameplay.
amazing job!!
that was exhausting just to watch! has to be the most on your toes either norse game requires you to be, by far. probably more than many games, for that matter. a god like performance.
7:05 Hrolf Karki: You. Will. Kneel ! Kratos: Excuse me?
Now this is what I'm talking about ✊🏽🔥
This is masterpiece!
My man, i'm trying beat this game in gmgw while getting everything upgraded and i'm getting killed every time, and you just do it with level 1, a true master.
Here it is the challenge to end all challenges. I mean other than doing this blindfolded idk what's left in the 8 realms. I love the slight delays on the parry counter so you use it as an extra invincibility frame or to cancel a red ring attack.
This guy is literally too good
soo smoooth, the best Gameplay i see
If I didn't know any better I would swear you were an advanced AI battle program.. awe inspiring to watch super human reflexes and timing
Eres la mera riiiiatta carnal (you rock bro) Y pongan al peso pluma auuuu!
2:29 Clean dodges AF. Nicely done (mimirs voice)
The skill is unbelievable and unimaginable 😮
Man you're making me cry I'm playing on give me grace 😭
Unreal movement/weaving 👏 👏
Você joga muito bro, parabéns, sou sru fã, daqui do Brazil✌️👏👏❤️
The Garm music compliments the battle so much better than the normal Berserker music.
After trying out the Spartan Aspis I see now how impressive these parries are.
Yo wassup, yesterday I beat hrolf kraki on gmgow+! Btw you're skills are crazy bro! You play so well. Also, are you planning on making a video like this but fighting the three berserkers?
Dude is so good now he can annihilate bosses by just looking at the screen
I am out of words for this! W.A.O.
"Why do I hear boss music?" - King Hrólf Kraki
That background gofw music was 🔥
Bro at 2:26 he's just standing there like he's thinking "nothing is working on this guy WTF!" 😂
Those negating attacks are super new to me. That double ice/fire/shock wavy bolt attack the Berserkers do gets me often. I usually try to time it well for a quick double dodge but now i see i can negate the second following bolt.
Ah yes, my favorite asmr creator is back
This is wow heroic raids translated to another type of game. Truly impressive
Sick! ❤
This is what fighting with Rain in MK 11 feels like... all jokes aside, this was a beautiful thing!!
that’s insane!!
i like how hrolf subtitle name doesnt have King. Like mimir said he's not a king, just called himself one because he killed the previous king
Bada$$ bro 👊
now that's SMVR quality ❤
