Kill

Complete all Kill Labors in god of war 2018, including Travel's End, Wolf's Bane, and Troll's Toll, for XP rewards.

These Labors are simple tasks asking you to kill varying amounts of all the enemies in the game. Where possible, always try to fight every battle without running away. When you gain the ability to backtrack later on, enemies will repopulate the previous areas. The Muspelheim Trials later on in the game also features most of the enemies found in the game and will also add to your kill total.

Travel’s End

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 4 Travellers, Silver: Kill 8 Travellers, Gold: Kill 15 Travellers

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Travellers are among the most nastiest enemies in all of the realms. They have a lot of health, can pack a punch with each attack and have the ability to create a magical shockwave. Take your time with these enemies, don’t try to rush in and wait for openings, trying to isolate them if possible. Later in the adventure you’ll encounter Travellers with a shield strapped to their back, you’ll need to attack these from the front to deal any damage.

Wolf’s Bane

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 15 Wolves, Silver: Kill 30 Wolves, Gold: Kill 45 Wolves

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Wolves usually hunt in packs and can catch you off guard if you’re not careful. Keep distance between yourself and the Wolves to take them down with ease. You’ll encounter more deadly, elemental variations as you delve deeper in Midgard but the same general rule applies.

Wail of the Wulver

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 5 Wulvers, Silver: Kill 10 Wulvers, Gold: Kill 20 Wulvers

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Wulvers are some of the most fearsome enemies in the game, especially when encountered as a group. They appear to be weak to Shock Arrows so make use of them and try to build their Stun Gauges up. This will allow you to initiate a Stun Grab and get some heavy attacks or perform the brutal finisher.

Viken Brawler

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 5 Vikens, Silver: Kill 10 Vikens, Gold: Kill 20 Vikens

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Viken’s wield huge mauls that they can use to a series of consecutive ground pounds, being caught in this usually results in death. They are, however, open to attack after they pound the ground, use this opportunity to get behind and deal some damage. You’ll first encounter a Viken at the Cliffs of the Raven when the water level drops in the Lake of Nine for the first time.

Draugr’s Demise

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 100 Draugr, Silver: Kill 200 Draugr, Gold: Kill 400 Draugr

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

These undead flame-soldiers are the most common enemies in the game and you’ll encounter your first one during the deer hunt with Atreus. You should have no trouble encountering these and the objective should naturally complete during the course of your journey.

Wurm-slayer

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 15 Tatzelwurms, Silver: Kill 30 Tatzelwurms, Gold: Kill 45 Tatzelwurms

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Tatzelwurms are first encountered on the Stone Falls island in the Lake of Nine. These creatures burrow under ground when you get too close to attack, use Atreus’ arrows to stun them and then close in for the kill. Beware that many types of Tatzelwurms can poison you via their spit or their tails.

Reaver’s Doom

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 75 Reavers, Silver: Kill 150 Reavers, Gold: Kill 250 Reavers

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Reavers, like Draugrs, are fairly common enemies, especially in the later stages of the game. These are characterised by their icy blue skin indicating that the Leviathan Axe will be ineffective. Use arrows (Shock Arrows once available) to easily present yourself with a Stun Grab killing them in one hit.

Troll’s Toll

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 3 Trolls, Silver: Kill 6 Trolls, Gold: Kill 10 Trolls

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

As you may expect from the low numbers required to complete this Labor, you won’t find many of these in the game. A lot of them are fought as sub bosses and you’ll find more in the later parts of the game and the Muspelheim Trials. As for killing them, once you’ve fought one Troll, the general rule doesn’t change much. Use Atreus to distract them while you score combos in between. Later Trolls will add elemental blasts to the pillar when they slam it down so be on the lookout to dodge them.

Nightmare’s Wake

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 50 Nightmares, Silver: Kill 100 Nightmares, Gold: Kill 150 Nightmares

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Your first encounter with a Nightmare is after you leave the Witch’s House for the first time. These small, flying creatures hurl elemental magic at you from a distance, depending on their current affinity. They don’t have much health but can cause a problem when part of a larger enemy pack making them a top priority. Atreus’ arrows can take them out quickly providing you’ve been keeping with the upgrades of his bow.

Shadow Warrior

Objectives: Bronze: Kill 25 Shadows, Silver: Kill 50 Shadows, Gold: Kill 100 Shadows

Rewards: Bronze: 250 XP, Silver: 750 XP, Gold: 3500 XP

Shadows are Reaver’s who have learnt deadly magic, projectile based enemies that attack from afar. They don’t have much health so usually
