Rota

Learn how to defeat the Valkyrie Rota in God of War (2018). Discover her attack patterns and strategies to overcome this challenging boss.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Rota uses Wing combos and Chakram attacks from previous Valkyries, but adds a powerful dive attack.
• She can perform multiple dive attacks in succession.
• Dodge her aerial dives to create an opening for attacks.

Phases:

1. Rota will fly into the air, indicated by a red circle around her. She will then dive at you. Be ready to dodge roll to the side.
2. She may perform up to three consecutive dives. Keep dodging until she finishes.
3. After her dive sequence, Rota will take a moment to recover. This is your prime opportunity to land some hits.

Strategy:

• When Rota takes to the air and a red circle appears, prepare to dodge. Her dive attack deals heavy damage if it connects, but a well-timed dodge roll to the side will avoid it.
• Pay close attention to her dive patterns; she might chain them together. Don't get greedy with attacks until she's finished her aerial assault and is recovering.
• The rewards for defeating Rota in Helheim include the Grips of the Valkyrie, Asgard’s Shard of Existence, and valuable upgrade materials. Use these to improve Kratos's gear and prepare for future challenges.
