God Of War Ragnarok: How To Defeat Gulltoppr (Boss Guide)

In the new God of War Ragnarok, Kratos will face some fearsome creatures and gods from Norse myths. The Norse god of foresight, Heimdall, is a formidable antagonist that you must defeat to keep Atreus safe. But before you can fight Heimdall, you’ll have to defeat his mount, Gulltoppr. This beast is easy to fight, but it has a huge health bar, making it difficult to defeat. In this article, we will tell you how to defeat Galltoppr in God of War Ragnarok.

How to beat Gulltoppr in God of War Ragnarok

You will meet Heimdall and Gulltoppr during the Creatures of Prophecy quest in Vanaheim. After a short cutscene, the battle with this beast will begin. If you know how Gulltoppr’s attacks work, you should be able to defeat him. Here are the moves he uses in this fight:

• Bifrost Blasts: During the fight with Gulltoppr, Heimdall will attack you with his Bifrost Blasts. Avoid these explosions at all costs, as they drain a decent amount of your health.
• Bifrost Explosions: Heimdall will charge the Bifrost beast and release an unblockable wave. Avoid this attack by retreating from the blast zone.
• Melee Strikes: The beast itself will attack you with strikes that can be blocked, dodged, or parried. Watch out for the yellow rings and parry the attack to hit the beast.
• Headbutt: Gulltoppr headbutts you. This is a blue ring attack that you can interrupt with a shield strike.
• Charged Attack: Gulltoppr charges you with an unblockable attack. Get out of his way to avoid serious damage.

These are the moves that Gulltoppr will use against you in GoW Ragnarok.

You can defeat Gulltoppr by reducing his huge health bar and dodging his unstoppable attacks.
