17 | Defeat Gullveig and the Nightmares that appear to receive an Offering to Tyr and to complete the favor. |
Throw the Leviathan Axe while its chest is exposed to deal damage. Avoid facing it head-on as the boss is resistant to melee attacks.
Pick up the chunks that it drops by pressing the Circle button and throw into its chest when it's exposed to deal massive damage.
You can use the pillar in the middle of the arena to shield yourself from its attacks.
Focus on taking out the Nightmares first. Throw the Leviathan Axe at them or have Atreus fire a Light Arrow or a Shock Arrow.
Have Atreus fire an arrow at Gullveig before attacking with the Leviathan Axe. Use your shield to block her poison attacks.
You can also use the Seething Earth skill while in Spartan Rage to almost instantly take out Gullveig.
