After reaching the endgame, open the fast travel points menu. Use the new mechanic of unlocking undiscovered Mystic Gateways. Just choose the one from the Mist Fields.

Boss fight with the beserker

All Berserkers are fought in small enclosed arenas - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat the berserker Skjothendi the Unerring? - Berserkers - God of War Ragnarok Guide

All Berserkers are fought in small enclosed arenas. Avoid standing near the edges of the arena, as the camera can make it difficult for you to follow the boss.

It is a good idea to attack Skjothendi as soon as he appears in the arena, so he will already lose some health at the start. During the fight:

  1. use Kratos' runic attacks - optimally you should use all six (2 attacks for each weapon);
  2. use Spartan Rage (depending on the type you choose, activate it immediately or, for example, only after taking more damage);
  3. ask companion for help - they can use regular or stronger attacks (hold down the button);
  4. stay on the move and dodge when you are not sure if you will block or parry a given attack;
  5. avoid losing a lot of health in the initial part of the fight - health may appear in the arena, but picking it up can be risky.
Skjothendi can inflict a negative bifrost status on Kratos - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat the berserker Skjothendi the Unerring? - Berserkers - God of War Ragnarok Guide

Skjothendi can inflict a negative bifrost status on Kratos. Try to avoid taking damage then, as the explosion can take away a large portion of your health bar.

Block Skjothendi's regular attacks (e.g. shock wave from the picture). As for yellow attacks, dodge or parry them (it's important to parry at the perfect moment).

The boss' - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat the berserker Skjothendi the Unerring? - Berserkers - God of War Ragnarok Guide

The boss's red attacks are:

  1. hard landing - dodge at the last moment from the place where Skjothendi is about to hit the ground;
  2. releasing a series of projectiles while levitating(above image) - try to throw your weapon at the boss before Skjothendi completes the attack, as dodging the projectiles is quite difficult.
Once Skjothendi's health bar is depleted, there will be an opportunity to perform an execution on the boss - press R3 - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat the berserker Skjothendi the Unerring? - Berserkers - God of War Ragnarok Guide

Once Skjothendi's health bar is depleted, there will be an opportunity to perform an execution on the boss - press R3.

Before you approach the sword fragment marked with the quest icon, collect all loot from the arena.
