Let Gulltoppr Close the Distance
Gulltoppr does not have any ranged attacks outside of Heimdall's occasional Bifrost projectile, forcing it to get up close to land most of its attacks on Kratos.
Due to this, we recommend letting Gulltoppr close the distance with its linear and predictable melee attacks, which you can easily dodge, parry, and counter.
Use Ranged Attacks While It Charges
While Gulltoppr winds up its unblockable Gradungr Charge from afar, maximize your damage uptime by wearing it down with from afar with your Leviathan Axe and Draupnir Spear's ranged attacks.
Interrupt Thrashing with Shield Strike
When Gulltoppr quickly hops backward, this signals the start of its multi-hit Thrashing Headbutt Barrage. React to its blue ring indicator and immediately use your Shield Strike ability to interrupt the beast and leave it open for a short combo.
Watch Out for Heimdall's Bifrost
Throughout the fight, Heimdall can toss Bifrost projectiles toward Kratos while riding Gulltoppr, potentially catching careless players off guard and leaving them open to the beast's hard-hitting melee attacks.
Keep an eye on Heimdall and dodge these projectiles as they come out to avoid taking unnecessary damage during the fight.
Frost Up the Leviathan Axe
We recommend maintaining the Frost Awaken buff on your Leviathan Axe throughout the fight to slow down Gulltoppr with the Frost debuff. Doing this makes it easier to maintain Gulltoppr's stun meter and dodge and parry his predictable melee attacks.
Gulltoppr Attack Patterns
Gradungr Charge
Gulltoppr lowers its head and scratches at the ground before performing an unblockable charge toward Kratos in a linear path, dealing heavy damage on contact. React to this attack's red ring indicator and dodge sideways out of Gulltoppr's way to avoid getting hit.
Later in the fight, Gulltoppr can perform this attack up to three times in a row, so always stay alert and prepare to dodge follow-up Gradungr Charges when they occur.
Thrashing Headbutt Barrage
Gulltoppr quickly hops backward before repeatedly thrashing about and sending a barrage of headbutts toward Kratos, with each strike breaking through his guard and dealing moderate damage on hit.
To deal with this attack, react to its blue ring indicator and immediately interrupt it with a Shield Strike to momentarily stagger Gulltoppr.
Heavy Claw Swipe
Gulltoppr winds up its left paw before quickly swiping it horizontally toward Kratos, dealing moderate damage and breaking his guard on contact. We recommend watching out for the attack's yellow ring indicator and parrying the claw swipe to stagger Gulltoppr momentarily and avoid getting hurt.
Claw and Headbutt Combo
Gulltoppr performs two quick claw swipes before winding up a heavy headbutt that breaks Kratos' guard when blocked. To deal with this combo, block the claw swipes and parry the slow headbutt to stagger Gulltoppr and leave it open for a counterattack.
Bifrost Ball
During the fight, Heimdall occasionally tosses a ball of Bifrost toward Kratos while Gulltoppr performs its melee attacks, staggering Kratos and inflicting Bifrost on hit.
Due to this attack's erratic timing, keep an eye on both the projectile's path and any incoming attacks from Gulltoppr to avoid dodging into either of them and taking unnecessary damage.
Bifrost Explosion
Heimdall places his hand over Gulltoppr, infusing the beast with magic and causing it to release a massive unblockable Bifrost shockwave. React to this attack's red ring indicator and immediately move out of the explosion's radius to avoid getting hurt.
