NÍÐHÖGG – Protector of Yggdrasil God of War Ragnarök One of the most visually striking and memorable boss battles early in God of War Ragnarök is the encounter with Níðhögg, a colossal, serpentine dragon-like creature guarding the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. This fight is part of Freya’s personal journey, as she attempts to break free from Odin’s curse. Níðhögg appears as a cosmic guardian, bound to protect the world tree from threats—even if it means opposing Freya and Kratos. The battle takes place in a beautiful, mystical arena at the base of the tree, with glowing runes, twisting roots, and cosmic energy all around. Gameplay Highlights: • Níðhögg’s attacks include dimensional rifts, tail swipes, and devastating elemental blasts. • The fight encourages switching between Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos to counter her various phases. • The boss can teleport through Yggdrasil tears, creating a high-paced and unpredictable rhythm. • Freya fights alongside Kratos, showcasing her growing strength and synergy as a companion. This fight isn’t just about brute strength—it’s deeply tied to the game’s emotional and narrative threads, showing how mythology, combat, and storytelling come together in true God of War fashion. #godofwar #godofwarragnarok #kratos #gaming
