Here is how you can beat Thor in God of War Ragnarok.
Thor is the second boss that you need to beat in order to progress the story of God of War Ragnarok. He isn’t going to go easy with his attacks considering what Kratos did to his sons in the previous game. Thankfully, once you know the moves he uses in the fight beating him won’t be hard. So in this guide check out how to defeat Thor in God of War Ragnarok.
You can beat Thor by chipping away his health, parrying and dodging his attacks will allow you to land your attacks on him more frequently. This fight has three phases where Thor progressively starts using more moves with each phase. In the first phase, you fight using only your fists. And in the remaining two phases you get to use your Leviathan Axe. After this fight, you can unlock your Blades of Chaos.
Here is the breakdown of each phase and the moves he uses in each of them:
During his first phase, Thor mostly toys with Kratos and doesn’t do many fancy attacks. He will use the following moves:
Fill up the white bar below his health to deal a lot of damage to him, this will also chip away his yellow health bar faster. During the last bar of his yellow health, a cutscene plays and you enter the second stage of his fight.
During his second phase, Thor uses all of his attacks from the first phase but also starts using his hammer Mjolnir.
While fighting, Thor will kill you and then also revive you saying the fight ends when he says the two are done. Once revived continue attacking him and chipping his health away and this will start the third phase of the fight.
Thor will now use all moves from the previous two phases with one new move.
The rest of the fight is the same as the above two phases, keep chipping his health away and you will beat him in no time.
