How to Slay Olrun Without Getting Hit in God of War

Olrun is one of the Valkyries that’s located over at the Alfheim realm. In order to get to her, you must have beaten the main story or progressed far enough and acquired the chisel that unlocks hidden chambers throughout the world of Midgard.

If you’re looking for a visual guide please refer to the video below and if you need to find her please refer to the Alfheim collectible guide.

Olrun’s attacks can be quite confusing at first, but in actuality, once you understand how she works it’s not that bad. Her main attack pattern is based on which side she dashes when she backouts. She usually either dashes to the left or right, if she dashes to the left you want to hold your block button and block her wing swing attack, after that she might follow up with a punch to the stomach and you can ONLY dodge that by dodging to the right. If you try to dodge to the left you will get hit. If Olrun dashes to the right side instead of the left, then she will instantly try to dash towards you right after that and punch you in the stomach which means that all you have to do is a dodge to the right side. So remember, a left dash is Wing attack + follow up punch combo and a dash to the right just simply means a punch. Those are her 2 main core attack patterns that you need to be aware of.

Olrun will also sometimes go behind you and do a spinning attack as she dashes towards you from behind. This attack is very easy to avoid and all you have to do is simply block. Whenever you block or dodge her attacks, this is window where you want to unleash your combos and start beating her up.

Another random attack that Olrun does is the “Valhalla” scream. When she screams “Valhalla” all you need to do is get ready to dodge left or right before she gets to stomp on you. You will hear her scream the word out and then go into the air and this is the time when you want to dodge the attack, otherwise, you will be caught and get face stomped.

Hello everyone, my name is Leo and I am the proud founder of Gaming Instincts. I've been working in the Gaming Industry for over 6 years professionally. However, in my recent times I have decided to go create a new path for myself and that path began with Gaming Instincts. I loves many different types of games genres including FPS, RTS, TPS, MMOs, Arcade Racers and many more. One of my favorite current developers is From Software the creators of the Soulsbourne games. My friends also thing I am crazy because I love trophy and achievement hunting on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I always strive to obtain 100% completion including DLC on some of the hardest games that are out in the market. Most notable and proud 100%s are Evolve, Overwatch, Battleborn and both of the Evil Within titles. Over the course of my 6 year career I had the pleasure to speak to some of the biggest publishers and developers in the world including 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare, Lionhead Studios, Naughty Dog, Ready at Dawn, Bungie, Activision, EA, Epic and many more. What does the future hold for me at Gaming Instincts and where shall we go? Only time will tell.
