Thor is much harder than the previous boss, and killing him would be even more complicated if there were no several checkpoints to revive during the fight (we count 4 of them). It should also be said that he regenerates his own life in the range of every part of the battle.

Thor: First Phase

The fight begins soft and sweet, as Thor does not use Mjöllnir, only his huge fists. The same goes for Rates. This will allow you to become familiar with the basic attacks of the god.

punches chain (normal attack)

Thor's basic attack has a very easy to understand timing, so you should take advantage of it to do specific defenses or simply block everything. Sometimes he can go straight to a quick kick, so the lock has his merits as he protects from a surprise attack.

Hand Clap (normal attack)

Thor opens his arms, running toward him as if he wanted to grab him, but it is a trick. He will hit his palms to produce thunder in front of him. The only real difficulty is to properly identify the attack. You can block it with the shield or dodge in melee fighting to pass your back to attack it. As long as you are not in front of him, there is nothing to fear.

will grasp (red attack)

What makes the fight harder is that Thor really has a grab during which he will grab you and throw you, which can cause confusion. The problem is that it has several versions of socket .

Some are executed in melee with one hand, and another causes him to use a palms-like animation while moving forward. In the end, you have to learn to trust the Red Circle to know how to react correctly. Dodge laterally and then counterattack.

Combo: punch (yellow attack) + kick (normal attack)

Thor carries his attack and hits a big punch to his melee. This attack cannot be blocked, but it can be trimmed by pressing L1 at the right time. The normal reflex would be to dodge the attack, as we did in the video, the problem is that this attack is immediately followed by a powerful kick toward you, which will take it right after its dodge.

So you have several options, the first is trim the punch , which will also nullify the kick and give you the chance to counterattack. It is the best solution. But if you have Parry's time problems, you can dodge and be fast in the reflection to block later.

Thunderclap (red attack)

Probably the most dangerous and painful attack of the whole fight is this. He will raise both hands in the air, then knock them down to reach the ground, which will produce a huge explosion around him. The only reliable solution is to perform a roll (double x) back , not laterally. The range is less than the game makes it look. Just don't get the habit of rolling a lot on his back.

Thor: second and third phase

Thor takes most of the first phase attacks and adds new ones:

Their punches are replaced by hammer blows, which does not change much in practice. You can still block or divert. The same goes for your guard ezwtseaking movement (yellow circle). The good news is that Thor no longer uses the kick, it makes his attacks and combos more predictable and easy to counteract.

Hammer throwing (red attack)

Here is the real difficulty at this stage, the damage is huge, and it is very difficult to dodge, you need an excellent timing with the side roll , or being close enough of Thor .

Whenever Thor distances herself by turning at all speed, run towards the boss. Because it is fast enough, you can dodge the hammer more easily. Put an obstacle between it, and you are a good option the few times you have the chance. Trying to put your back to the wall can also help you control the situation, but it is very difficult to put into practice.

Lightning zone (red attack)

Shortly after throwing the hammer, Thor will send a lightning to the floor in front of him. It is very easy to avoid, with a simple side dodge, whether you have taken the hammer in the face or not. If you are in melee combat, this is a good opportunity to attack you.

Powerful hammer blow (red attack)

Thor takes the hammer and performs a vertical attack. It can be an upward or descending attack, it doesn't matter much. It is easy to deflect laterally. The only problem is that it adds more red attacks to your repertoire, which tends to make it difficult to identify in the heat of battle.

During this phase you can use the pillars in the area to trigger a special attack on Thor if it is close enough. It's no use trying if he's too far away, you will only take Mjöllnir in their teeth.

Thor: Fourth Phase

When a frozen radius is invoked in the middle of the arena, it means that the end of the fight is near. This last phase is the most intense. Thor takes up all his attacks from the previous phases, his own hands and the hammer. The only exception is the kick that it does not use, or just very rarely.

During this phase, Thor loves to use three attacks: the thunder throwing the hammer, the thunder around him and a new skill.

Lightning Strike (Red Attack)

Thor takes his hammer with both hands above his head and hits the floor several times with him. Ironically, this can be the most advantageous red attack on you throughout the fight. It is really very predictable, causes several red areas to appear in the room, which will be hit by lightning with each blow.

The first is under your feet, so you just need to dodge or run out of it . Just do not walk in the red areas that are well spaced. You can also take the opportunity to attack Thor impunity, this is an opportunity to hurt you a lot! Thor's attack animations hitting the ground strangely not dangerous.

Thor: Tips and Advice

As Thor is divided into 4 phases, with so many checkpoints, feel free to use his Spartan fury during each phase to move to the next. You just need to go through each of them once and the Rage will be recharged to the following.

Picking up the green healing crystals to melee cancels Thor's attack and the actor very ezwtsiefly, and restore life. Do not hesitate to pick them up in the room when your life is too low.
