God Of War Valkyrie Guide: How To Kill Sigrun (Council of Valkyries)

God Of War Sigrun

Not only is Sigrun the toughest Valkyrie in God of War, she is also one of the hardest bosses to beat in the game. In this God of War guide, we are going to walk you through how you can kill Sigrun in the Council of Valkyries.

Before you get started there are a few things that you need to do before the encounter with Sigrun. Firstly, make sure that your Runic attack meter is full. This can be used to deal a lot of damage early on. Initiate the fight with these attacks to get a head start.

Secondly, you need to fill up your Spartan Rage meter. This will allow you to deal a lot of damage. It also heals you. Having a resurrection stone can also come in handy. If you die while holding one then Atreus can use it to bring you back to life. You can buy these but you can only carry one at a time.

Knowing when to attack is as important as knowing when not to attack when it comes to your encounter with Sigrun. You might be tempted to attack whenever you get the chance but this could result in a failed attempt.

How To Kill Sigrun In God Of War

To kill Sigrun you need to be patient. Know when you attack. Learn her moves carefully and see when she is vulnerable. Look for windows where you can attack without leaving yourself open to hits.

If you have the resurrection stone with you as mentioned above then you will be able to use Spartan Rage twice. One before you die and again after you are resurrected. It might sound odd, but dying can be an advantage in this case.

Once you figure out the attacks that Sigrun uses, things are going to get much easier. She can use attacks of all the Valkyries that you have fought, so things can get very tricky. Disrupting her attacks is one way of doing things but if you are not used to it then identifying and responding to her attacks is a much safer bet and something that we recommend.

Sigrun’s Attacks

Attacking first with Runic attacks is the way to go with the Valkyries but not in this case. Doing so with Sigrun will deal damage to Kratos as well. Health is of vital importance in this encounter and the initial damage is not worth it. When the fight starts, you should approach her and hold your shield up.

Sigrun will attack you with her wings. She might do this once or several times. She might also mix things up with a twirling wing attack. All these attacks can be blocked so keep your shield up. By now you have fought the previous Valkyries and you are accustomed to their moves. You need to figure out her next move and counter it accordingly.

The following are all the attacks that she can use against you and how you can counter them.

Air Attacks

The following are the attacks that Sigrun can use when in the air.

Blinding Hover

Sigrun can jump into the air. She then creates a fog around her. This does not do any damage but you are unable to see. Each time she jumps into the air, you can shoot her down and interrupt the attack. She is easier to see in the fog when you use shock abilities. You should keep firing arrows even if the fog is there. This will eventually bring her back to the ground.

Ground Pound

Sigrun can hover in the air and then hit the ground with her staff. This creates an explosion that spreads across the arena. You need to move far away in order to avoid this attack. In order to keep this from happening you need to shoot her down and interrupt the attack. Have Atreus fire arrows at her. This will bring her back to the ground. If you time this right, then you will almost never have to deal with this move.

Stomp

When in the air, Sigrun will try to jump on top of Kratos. Look for the Red circle. When you see it you need to dodge in order to avoid taking damage. She can do this up to three times, so be prepared. When she lands, she is open to attacks and that is one of the best times to strike.

Grab And Face Pound

Sigrun can dash across the room while in the air and smash Kratos into the ground. This move cannot be blocked and you will need to dodge it. If evaded successfully, she will hand on the ground and this is when you can hit her a couple of times. Even though she is vulnerable, you should keep it safe and not get carried away.

Projectile Attacks

Sigrun has a couple of projectile attacks that she can use. Here are the moves and how you can counter them.

Yellow Magic Disks

Like the other Valkyries in God of War, Sigrun will throw Yellow disks at you while in the air. When she shoots a couple of these, you can block them all. When she fires a single projectile you will need to dodge it.

If you see the Red circle, then you need to dodge the incoming attack. If not, then you can block it.

Ice Shard Attack

This is similar to the Yellow disk. You need to block the incoming ice shards but the single big one at the end needs to be dodged and cannot be blocked. There is a slight pause between the two attacks and that will indicate when you need to transition from the block to the dodge. Timing is going to be very important in this case.

Energy Wave

While on the ground, Sigrun can use her scythe to send a wave of energy towards Kratos. You need to dodge this move. Keeping your distance will give you more time to react to this move.

Fire Attack

This attack starts with the Red circle that indicates that you need to dodge the incoming attack. Sigrun will then set the ground on fire. Once you have evaded the move, Sigrun will strafe to the side. She will then slide to attack.

Her slide stab cannot be blocked and you will need to dodge it. Beware not to roll into the flames. Time both parts in order to avoid getting hurt.

Smoke Knives

Sigrun can throw knives at you like the other Valkyries in God of War. This attack can be blocked.

Ground Attacks

Now that we have got the air attacks and projectile attacks out of the way, let’s talk about the ground attacks that Sigrun can use against you in God of War and how you can counter them.

Dash Stab

By now you are already familiar with this move. Sigrun will dash towards Kratos and try to stab him. You will need to roll out of the way. The Red circle will tell you that this move cannot be blocked.

The stab can be followed up with a wing attack which can be blocked. So beware of that.

Wing Shield

If you are close enough, Sigrun will use her wings to shield herself. This lasts a couple of seconds. If you are not close then she will raise her wings up and shock you. If you are close to her then you can break her defense and attack. Use strong or Runic attacks in this case.

Remember that Sigrun will recover quickly so you do not have much time. You can use the Talisman of the realms to slow down time and chain attacks together.

Scythe Attack

Like the other Valkyrie fights in God of War, Sigrun can use her scythe to attack Kratos. She can attack from the ground or from the air. If you see the Yellow circle, then that means that you can parry the attack. If you succeed that this will stagger her and you can land some blows.

If you have the health and are confident then you should parry. Otherwise, you can just roll out of the way if you want to play it safe.

Staff Attack

Sigrun will spin twice. Her first attack will impact the area around her. Her second attack can hit you. You need to dodge both of them.

Even with this list, Sigrun can use different combinations of attacks so you really do not know what she is going to do next. Try your best to anticipate what is coming and react accordingly to have a better chance of beating her. This might take a few tries.

This marks the end of our God Of War Sigrun Valkyrie Guide.
