Vali the Oath Guard will have a variety of skills and abilities that are really frustrating to conquer. As such, below is a list of pointers to remember when facing him:

  • Vali has a long health bar and is a tough Traveller to face.
  • He wields a huge two-handed sword and is very slow when swinging it. This part can be used to Kratos’ advantage as it can be parried in succession for large damage.
  • Be wary of his downward slam attack as it is unblockable and deals a ton of damage.
  • Also, note that whenever he raises the skull above his head, aim at it using the axe or spear and it will prevent Vali to perform magical outburst attacks
  • Watch out for Shadows for it will defend and fight alongside Vali. Kill them first otherwise they will start firing projectiles against you depleting your health constantly.
