Nidhogg is a truly formidable foe. It has a massive health pool and can deal serious damage to Kratos. It has a few high-speed attacks, but most of them can be predicted anddodged, which is something players should do more than parrying in this fight. There are a few key attacks that players really need to keep an eye out for, and they all involve Nidhogg’sRealm magic. This can be identified by its deep blue color. The image above shows the boss' stomach attack, where it launches a flurry of projectiles (or sometimes one giant one) at the player, dealing a deadly amount of damage.
