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

1. The Flight Of Fafnir

An awkward as hell encounter we also covered over here as something that ultimately benefits the player, Fafnir's area is a notable spike in difficulty in the first five or so hours of the game.

Pitting you against a teleporting Revenant and two heavy Draugrs that love to trigger unblockable attacks when they're not catching you with wider swing arcs, the worst bit is Fafnir himself.

The latter dragon will scorch half of the arena at regular intervals, meaning at any given time you're dodging two Draugrs chasing you down, a Revenant with seeker tendrils and proximity mines, AND the knowledge that the whole place is going to catch aflame any second.

Seriously, the only advice I have here is don't give up until you finally punch through.
