Learn how to defeat the Valkyrie Kara in God of War (2018). This guide covers her attacks, summoned enemies, and the best strategies to overcome her.

Alright, so you've made it to Kara, one of the Valkyries. She's a tough one, but don't sweat it! The real trick here isn't just Kara herself, but the pesky Draugr she loves to summon. You'll need to keep an eye on both of them throughout the fight.

Before you even step into the arena, let's get you prepped. Make sure you've got the Blessings of the Frost enchantment equipped to your Leviathan Axe (you find this in Thamur's Corpse). Also, slap the Cyclone of Chaos on your Blades of Chaos (that's in Helheim). For Atreus, make sure he's rocking Shock Arrows. And if you've got Murder of the Crows, make sure it's fully upgraded and equipped. A fully upgraded Talisman of Unbound Potential is also super handy because you'll be leaning on your Runic attacks a lot. This fight is all about crowd control, so be ready!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Arena: You'll be fighting Kara in a dedicated arena. Keep in mind the edges of the arena; they might come in handy.
  2. 2
    Kara's Summons: Kara's main gimmick is summoning Draugr. She'll do this consistently, so you can't just focus on her. You need to manage the adds she brings in.
  3. 3
    Prioritize Threats: While Kara is dangerous, the summoned Draugr can quickly overwhelm you if ignored. Take them out efficiently before turning your full attention back to Kara.
  4. 4
    Utilize Runic Attacks: As mentioned, your Runic attacks are going to be key. Use them to clear out groups of Draugr quickly or to deal significant damage to Kara when you have an opening.
  5. 5
    Crowd Control is King: Abilities that hit multiple enemies or stun them will be incredibly useful here. Think about using your Runic attacks strategically to interrupt Kara or control the flow of the summoned enemies.
Tips
  • Keep moving! Staying still is a death sentence when Draugr are spawning.
  • Use the environment if possible, though the source text doesn't give specific examples for Kara's arena.
  • Don't get greedy. Focus on surviving the waves of Draugr and chipping away at Kara's health.
  • Pay attention to Kara's tells for her own attacks, but don't let the Draugr sneak up on you.
  • Upgrade materials
  • Talisman of the Realms
  • Heart of Midgard Enchantment
