Muspelheim "challenges"... what were they thinking?

[Baklavah]

"Don't get hit" challenges are the dumbest thing ever, right beside "timers".

I get it. "Challenge the players". Honestly, if I could opt out of doing these challenges, I would. I've been trying to get the Muspelheim epic enchantment, and can't do so without suffering the "kill this many things without getting touched" challenge. First of all, calling it "Impossible Trial VI" is right, because Wulvers and Revenants are 100% BS. They are the most frustrating things I've ever encountered.

You dodged? HAH! Tracking shoulder tackle. Oh btw, you failed to kill at least 20 dudes, so have fun NOT getting the resources you need! kthnxbai!

UGH!

Okay... I just needed to rant... I hate this nonsense... Even the Valks are more fair than this garbage. -_-

I ABSOLUTELY hated that place and if it wasnt for that damn thing at the top of it... I'd have never kept going.

It is the ONLY thing I didn't do was the 'second' set of ones that come up after reaching the top so that is going to be a missing achievement for a while. 100%'d everything else and that place is just awful.

The Fog 'grind' area is by FAR a lot more fun despite being a grind too.....

I kinda cheesed it by spamming the boys arrow attacks and ranges Axe throws and only go in close when necessarry. It worked on my first attempt. YYou should try it

I've had silver on the Muspelheim challenges 3 times now. People keep saying "You're guaranteed at least 2 Crests of Surtur for Silver". Since the original challenge (the valk), I have received all of ONE. TOTAL. I need TWO. I despise RNG BS with garbage challenges. It's not fun.

Yeah. I absolutely hated that place.
The fog wasn't MUCH better but I actually had fun at times.

Gear up, equip AOE light and heavy attacks runic attacks and you finish impossible challenge VI with gold. And for the Dodge challenge, keep your distance and let your boy handle ranged enemies and nightmares.

I'm about as geared up as I can be. Take a look if you don't believe me.

No. The Valk-Queen was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unreal. Had to switch on Easy to beat her.
The Muspelheim Challenges were ok. The "Dont get hit" Challenges were the worst but nothing too crazy even on Impossible DIff.

Yeah I thought the same. I really liked the area and those Valks are powerful af

Those are completely optional. Sure, there are crafting materials you can't get any other way. But.. you can certainly opt out.

Yes, they are pretty brutal and the grinding is exhausting. I did them all back on PS4 because I wanted the super fire last skill.

They are dumb arcade challenges... skip if it's too much trouble for you.

You're right.. don't get hit is the worse.

However, the last challenge is random. If this one is too hard.. fail it and go again.. you might get a different one. But you will have to collect the keys again.

I honestly found the Valk queen so much easier than doing those fire places but when I say easier I mean more enjoyable too. I just honestly hated those so much to not give them that much extra effort but the fog and the valks were a lot less painful. Still took me over an hour to beat the queen in attempts though on balanced.

I just skipped the "no hit" challenge and moved on. had no issues killing all enemies without being hit but the World Eater in the end is crap. with the wanky targeting for axe throws I got hit by his aoe pretty fast and only tried once again after that.

then I moved on to the next sword for challenge two, solved it and all of the following ones. enough to earn the 3 key for the final challenge on top which I completed golden and I got the reward to upgrade my chaosblades to rank 5.

FINALLY got my crests. Only took 5 attempts. I kept NOT getting them. Was getting frustrated. w/e, I got them. Have my Eye of Power. Onward to Fog Land to tear that valk a new one.

You're complaining on Discussions because you're not good enough to finish them? I only failed 1 of the challenges and that's the 'don't get hit' challenge in the normal run. The next more difficult run I failed twice with the 'don't get hit' challenge with the soul eater. Didn't even break a sweat at the Valkyrie. Maybe just, I don't know... Get better first before complaining that dev ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

Hes complaining that they are absolutely not fun to do and can be very frustrating.
And pretty sure he is complaining about the 'impossible' set that you are suppose to repeatedly farm for the materials.

Its a boring half hearted design overall and it is really, every time you see 'challenges' that are thrown in like these are just not fun for a majority of the playerbase as we've seen with actual statistics involved in other games that have the same thing. When its implemented like Horizon Zero Dawn and its Hunter challenges, they aren't bad, but when they are these small arenas of just do this or that it gets involving 'dont get hit' 'kill them in this one spot' 'do it in this amount of time' or other generic things its just.... very dull and when you combine it with having to do it multiple times it just inst fun.

The valkyries are fun, very annoying and unfair at times but fun.
The fog place, despite it being a grind and at times a slog fest, is fun.
The fire mountain... its not.
