5) Helheim Bridge Keeper
The Hardest God of War Bosses
Alright, so I know I said we wouldn’t be counting the Trolls in this list, but the Helheim Bridge Keeper actually packs a couple of new moves that distinguishes it from the rest of its commoner brethren. Unlike your previous Troll fights, you won’t have Atreus around to distract the boss with arrows, which means that you’ll need to handle this one all on your own.
For the most part, the Bridge Keeper isn’t that big of a challenge. Its move set is largely the same as the other Trolls, except it can now summon orbs that will track you around the arena. Most of the challenge comes from dealing with the orbs by throwing your Axe or Blades at them, while also keeping the camera on the Bridge Keeper itself to make sure it doesn’t surprise you with a ground slam. It also has a rather cheeky teleportation move that can throw you off at times, but it’s still pretty easy to keep wailing on this guy with no real consequences, at least on normal difficulty.
We really liked the design of the Bridge Keeper, but ultimately it’s just a slightly upgraded, reskinned version of the Trolls we’ve faced so far. Moving on.
