How to unlock the Grave Mistake achievement in God of War Ragnarök - Definitive Guide

There are 10 stones in the game that summon berserkers to battle. There are 13 of them. There are more bosses than summoning stones due to the fact that in some locations several spawn at once (once you fight against two and once against three at the same time).

12 of them are scattered around the map and can be completed in any order. The final one, the king, is unlocked after killing all the others and is located in the northeast of Midgard.

Berserkers differ in level, some can be killed casually, going through the story, while others you won't be able to master until you craft top weapons and armor. In principle, I advise leaving them all for the very end.

In any case, focus on the color of their HP bar.

If she:
Green means the berserker is lower level than you, the fight will be a little easier.
Yellow - he is the same level as you.
Orange - one level above you. Still possible to win.
Purple is two levels higher. In my opinion, there is no point in trying anymore.
Red - he will kill you with one hit.

Personally, I did it this way - when I came across a stone, I activated it and looked at the color. If it was higher than yellow, I left it until better times. At the same time, the King was still orange for me, even despite the maximum pumping on my part.

I will also duplicate a life hack that simplifies combat with all berserkers:

Before the fight, set checkpoints in the settings during the fight with secondary opponents. Be sure to buy a resurrection stone from the blacksmith. If you manage to destroy half of the HP during the fight, then after restarting from the checkpoint you will have full health, rage and a resurrection stone (even if you managed to use it), while the boss will have only half of the HP.

You can simply inject a ton of damage at the very beginning of the fight (I was able to take out about half of it) by assembling a build to slow down time. Berserker's Breastplate (increases damage when using a relic), Heimdall's Relic, enchantment for increased damage when slowing down time, an axe handle that slows down time when pressed. + with Permafrost filled. The enchantments also included the Asgard and Muspelheim sets, plus enchantments with different effects on Permafrost and Immolation. It would also be advisable to have Berserker's gloves or thigh guards so that the relic would cool down faster.
Come in, stagger him with some independent runic attack that can also damage you, hit him a little with an axe to build up Permafrost, activate time slowdown, hit him with the strongest attacks of the axe (either from an additional stance, where the axe flies around Kratos, or a heavy combo ending with three hits on the ground), as the timer runs out - press L1 + ∆, time slows down again, throw another strong combo under the already buffed axe. Then fight as usual and wait for the relic to cool down - this is your strongest advantage. Try it, he will have much less HP left after what you've done than you think. Well, if he has enough stats, of course.

I couldn't figure out how to get to the berserker in Niflheim, there is only one gate, where the ravens are, and where the grave is there is no gate. So to get there you need to go to Sindri's house after the last battle and talk to the squirrel, she will give you the seed to this passage.

Defeated the king using the following tactics:

1. Set a checkpoint for respawn. Thanks to which, the battle eventually began when the king had half of his HP. In this case, he almost immediately puts a block on his health (if you start the battle with blades, then the block will be for protection from fire, if with an axe - for protection from ice, if with a spear - then the block is neutral). I advise starting the battle with a spear so that the block is neutral. As soon as the battle begins, use a talisman to slow down time, and then runic attacks, alternating weapons.

2. Berserker armor set (stats below). Talisman for shifting worlds and slowing down time. Thanks to the berserker armor, the restoration of abilities is much faster.

3. The most important thing that helped me : I used Spartan Fury to replenish health (valor), and after that, when I no longer had a resurrection stone, and the king had one cell or less of HP left, I used classic Spartan Fury to deal damage (fury). The same tactics helped me defeat the Valkyrie Queen Gna.

I recommend finding the Steinbjorn Armor. This armor has the best defense, it reaches 585 points in stock. It will come in handy for fighting the king and Gna.

I'll add to KIILLKILLA's tip. The armor is just the bomb, you can just tank the two most difficult optional bosses with it.
Search instructions:
1. In Midgard, you need to find a mystical medallion that can revive troll statues. Put the medallion in your inventory.
2. In Midgard, Alfheim and Vannaheim, activate the medallion on +O next to the troll statues. Defeat the trolls.
3. Collect loot from trolls.
4. Go to the nearest blacksmith and create armor.

It is better to deal most of the damage with elemental attacks ( + , + ).
Choose techniques with lower recovery time for three types of weapons and pump them up to lvl 3. Better of course with good damage and stunning.

It is better to choose the relic "Blade of Death". Pumped to the maximum, it throws out 3 chakrams of bivryost with a low recovery rate of 85 sec.

When using Spartan Fury in Valor mode (health restoration), so that you don't get hit while you heal - choose the moment either after the enemy hits or when he is in the air. During health restoration, pressing your ally will shoot down a light attack with arrows or delay the king, which will increase your chances of a successful heal.

The amulet can be equipped with the "Emblem of Evasion" charm, which will increase the speed and range of evasions. I also recommend using the combination of first shift (single press ), and then do a roll after it.

And of course, before the fight it is better to pump Kratos up to level 9.

The boss seemed easier than the fight with the trio of berserkers, as well as with two berserkers who constantly cast biwrest. The only dangerous move Hrol has is the aoe-cast of biwrest across the entire arena, and even then, it turned out that it can be knocked down with an axe. And I didn't know this, but I still managed to kill the bastard. In general, it seemed to me that the developers tried to regulate the difficulty of the bosses with biwrest, since all other attacks are easily parried and can be easily dodged. Well, making co-op bosses is also the most primitive move that can be thought up. Fighting the Valkyries in the first part was more interesting.

Update 5.005, checkpoint setting removed. Will have to concentrate and bother with pumping for yourself. Personally, it helped me a lot to set improved camera focus in the game settings.

I will add Yabiku_SU
"When using Spartan Fury in Valor mode (health restoration), so that you don't get hit while you're healing - choose the moment either after the enemy hits or when he's in the air"
It's not obvious, but both the heal with the crystals on the floor and the Spartan Fury "Valor" heal interrupts the enemy's swing (staggers), so you can heal right in the middle of your combo. You hit him, press Fury - this staggers the enemy, continue beating. Runic attacks stagger too, after them it is also convenient to press Fury. But be careful, yellow and red attacks are not interrupted by pressing Fury.

The most convenient way to knock down attacks is to use a spear. Firstly, the throw itself can knock down an attack - that very red one, bivrest across the entire arena - and spears already stuck in earlier can knock down any yellow attacks by detonating them.

The best armor for the fight with this boss is Surt's set. I defeated the boss on the first try, he didn't even take half of my HP, I didn't even resort to Spartan Fury. I didn't set any checkpoints for respawn, etc. I just put on Surt's set, which we get for the Crucible trials in Muspelheim. Steinbjorn's set, as they say above, is not very effective because of the low damage in it, I haven't tried it on the king, but I beat Gna in it, so I made a conclusion from these two sets - Surt's armor is better.

Use the stone wall shield if you can't parry or dodge all of his yellow attacks. I beat it with the King's shield on my third try without any saves/checkpoints and didn't even have to use the resurrection stone.
