God Of War: 7 Optional Bosses & Challenges You Must Find

2. All The Optional Travellers

Ranging from fun one-on-one tests of dodging, combo-building and how to best manage stun-locks to outright Kratos-levels of rage, The Travellers are a perfect series of optional encounters to seek out.

A number of them are located on the main path through the game, with the others on the outcrop of every accessible gateway that looks "into" the main lake area. Each archway has a different puzzle to access, but sail nearby and you'll at least find their beach or cave entrances.

Each Traveller has a varying moveset, sharing some animations and changing others. Together they provide an increasingly manageable challenge that metes out the more you indulge in crafting better gear.
