Kings Hrolf Difficulty Is Absolutely Ridiculous!

[Cal]

I beat the game having "Give me balance" difficutly! I defeated Odin and Thor on my first try and i thought that i can play the game and maybe i should have tried "Give me no mercy" difficutly.
But this guy Hrolf is something else, i cant beat him on story mode difficutly with mini boss checkpoint enabled. Normally i would accept my defeat but God of War is my fav franchise out there so ive decided to get 100% achievements!

A boss hard like Hrolf isnt even fun and games are supposed to be fun right?

Your thoughts about this trash boss?

Small message for hardcore gamers: I prefer balanced difficulty! i wanna enjoy story games, no need to fight one boss for 10 hours. So no hate pls :D

I had the same feeling with Sigrun in the previous GoW. Colossal difficulty spike, even on the easiest difficulty, made every other boss look beatable while blindfolded.

I fully understand that these challenges appeal to many gamers. I am not against such challenges existing... On the appropriate difficulty settings. Devs really should understand that Easiest, or Give Me Story, or whatever the easiest difficulty is called, are for those who *do not* want these challenges.

What build are you running? You might wanna check out some builds, and go from there because that's what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna kill myself over it though as I'm not as good as a gamer as i was when i was younger. It's not so much that i suck, but just can't really be bothered by spending hours n hours n hours on a boss just for 1 pointless achievement.

No Problems on Give Me God of War. 100% the First game on Give Me God of War too and now iam doing the same with Ragnarök..Startet a NG+ Run few days ago because NG+ Items are getting much better.

What moves of the boss trouble you? His moves are combination of all berserker, you should know how to handle all his move at this point

Update:

the king wasn't even the hardest berserker for me haha, every multi enemy berseker fight,espacially the the one with the sisters took me way longer than the king

The triple berserker fight is considerably harder than king hrolf, as long as you are appropriately leveled and you have a somewhat coherent build going on hrolf shouldnt pose that much trouble as long as you are patient instead of just trying to run in his face constantly, however the trio fight can ♥♥♥♥ right off

Hrolf & Gna were the hardest things in the game (outside of the crashes).
I died A LOT at first because I was going all in on damage and not thinking of survive-ability etc
But with once I had a decent set up etc killed them both shortly after

The triple berserker actually take turn to attack you once at a time. I found out after many tries. Their move is not the issue, the issue is who the next attack coming from, the transition between their turn to attack is what make it difficult because you cant react quick enough to the attack outside your view.

these bosses are total BS. Extremely frustrating even when tried on easiest difficulty. Not fun at all.
