God of War: Dominating the Valkyrie Queen with the Ultimate Armor Build

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid God of War fan who has defeated the formidable Valkyrie Queen multiple times, I‘m often asked: "What is the best armor set for taking down this epic boss?" After extensive testing and research, I‘m confident the Steinbjorn armor set surpasses all others against the Queen‘s devastating attacks.

Why the Steinbjorn Armor Set Excels

Crafted from materials obtained by battling legendary trolls, the Steinbjorn armor balances high strength, defense, and runic stats with useful passive effects:

  • +45 Strength – Boosts melee damage
  • +36 Defense – Reduces incoming damage
  • +36 Runic – Increases special attack power
  • Health Burst on Any Kill – Restores a chunk of health
  • 18% Elemental Resistance – Blunts elemental attacks

This well-rounded combination of offense and sustainability is perfectly suited for facing the Queen‘s onslaught over an intense, prolonged clash.

Optimizing Your Build

While the Steinbjorn armor forms the foundation, the following enchantments, talismans, and weapon upgrade options enable you to amplify its potential:

Enchantments

  • Asgard‘s Shard – Grants a chance to resist being frozen
  • Eye of the Winged Chosen – Grants a Last Stand resurrection chance
  • Forbidden Grip of the Ages – 10% chance to grant Death‘s Blessing on hit

Talismans

  • Talisman of Cursed Power – Boosts strength, runic & damage taken
  • Talisman of Unbound Potential – Boosts all stats when health drops

Weapons

  • Blades of Chaos – Charge of the White Bear heavy runic attack recommended
  • Leviathan Axe – Frost Awaken heavy runic attack recommended

This optimized build pushes the Steinbjorn armor to its limits, providing the offense to quickly blast down the Queen‘s health bar while still ensuring you can withstand her most lethal attacks.

Mastering Queen Valkyrie‘s Attack Patterns

Of course, equipment alone isn‘t enough. You must carefully study the Queen‘s moves and tells to know exactly how to respond to achieve victory.

Key Attack Patterns

  • Wing Combo – Dodge sideways and watch for her aerial lunge
  • Scythe Sweep – Interrupt with a shield bash or dodge back
  • Valhalla Leap – Throw your axe at her landing point
  • Meteors – Outrun them or use a protective Barrier talisman

I recommend fighting her multiple times just to learn her patterns before attempting a winning run. With experience, you‘ll know whether to dodge, block, or unleash Kratos‘s powers against every attack.

Conquering God of War‘s Ultimate Challenge

Very few gaming challenges reach the sheer intensity and satisfaction of finally defeating the Valkyrie Queen with skill and an optimized build. While she easily dismantled me on early attempts, the armor, enchantments, tactics and practice outlined here enabled me to skillfully claim victory.

I hope these insider tips from a battle-hardened God of War veteran equip you to customize your own Queen-slaying loadout and emerge triumphant from this epic confrontation! Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions. Now go unleash Kratos against that winged menace!
