15 More Boss Tropes That Need To Be Done Away With

Cut From the Same Cloth

Bosses that share similar attacks can be interesting to deal with and God of War is a good example of why. The Valkyrie Gunnr displays the wing swipes and lunging scythe that will become staples in future Valkyrie move sets As you battle other Valkyries – who have more health and deal more damage, by the way – you’ll discover that each adds a unique move of their own on top. Kara summons Draugrs, Geirdiful likes to dash around and Gondul will rain some fireballs down when ascending into the sky. These all culminate in Sigrun, the Valkyrie Queen, who can use all of these attacks and effectively tests your mastery over beating the Valkyries. It’s an awesome concept…except when you’re being curb-stomped again and again by moves you should know how to counter.
