Valkyrie god of war11/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Normally, during the second journey to the Mountain at the earliest point that Eir can be fought, Atreus won't obey Kratos's orders due to his delusions of godhood.Eir's armour design is based on a bear.Taking advantage of this could save a lot of time, as otherwise, Eir's does not leave many opening in combat. Eir's defensive maneuver of shielding herself with her wings count as a blocking move Kratos can break the defense with the Shield Bash (double L1) like he could with shielded reaver.One of the books in Kratos and Faye's cabin shows how to use leek, chervil, and a Hvðnn herb to create a healing salve in homage to Eir.Where her sisters were violent, Eir was gentle, healing mortal and god alike. Eir is known as "The Healer", an oddity amongst the Valkyries as Eir was very quiet and calm.Alongside her sisters, she hold disdain towards Odin who cursed them and Gná who betrayed them. ![]() Powers & Abilities Appearance Personality ĭespite being described as a quiet healer who is calm and gentle, Eir is loud and energetic. The only way to avoid geting hit by this attack is to make her flinch during the wind-up throw the Leviathan at her or have Atreus fire at her (Atreus' arrows unlikely affects her in GMGOW). Lastly, she might take up to the sky and do a massive AoE attack that does massive (probably fatal in GMGOW) that cannot be blocked or dodged. The pound move is AoE and should be dodged away from (Dodge back facing Eir), while the swing done diagonally from her upper left to her right down this can be avoided by dodging to her left (Kratos' right). Knowing this is vital to efficiently fight Eir since she has a massive health pool and does not leave much opening otherwise.Īside from her bladed wings, Eir might use her Valkyrie mace to do a Pound and Swing combo. This shielding move is considered a block, thus susceptible to Guardian Shield's Block Break (Double Tap L1). She might also shield herself without prior combo. Striking her twice or letting her keep the stance too long will have her launch a swift and unassumingly lethal attack, capable of draining 3/4 of Kratos' health in GMGOW. Instead of ending her combo with a powerful follow-up attack like most of her sisters, she concludes by shielding herself with her wings, anticipating counter-attacks. While players might fail against hers sisters for being not fast enough, Eir cuts down those who goes drunk with their speed and recklessly rush their combo.Įir is able to use her bladed wings for a basic combo, although she is unable to use advanced maneuvers like the Wing Thrust or Cyclone. Eir along with Sigrún and Gunnr are among the Valkyries seen attacking Asgard during Ragnarok, before Surtr dealt the final blow she saved Atreus from the explosion and was the first person he saw after waking up.Īmong the 9 trapped Valkyries, the struggle against Eir is more of a test of well-timed restraint and consistency rather than skill and quick reaction. In the God of War Series God of War (2018) God of War: Ragnarök Įir along with the other Valkyries are resurrected by Freya. Scholars have theorized about whether these three sources refer to the same figure, and debate whether Eir may have been originally a healing goddess and/or a valkyrie. Eir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson and in skaldic poetry, including a runic inscription from Bergen, Norway from around 1300. In Norse Mythology, Eir a goddess and/or valkyrie associated with medical skill. Grateful for having been freed from Odin's curse and having acknowledged Kratos as their General, she actively participates together with her freed sisters to the final assault against Asgard during Ragnarök. ![]() Blessing them with her eternal gratitude, her spirit vanished and eventually reunited with her sisters.Įir returns in God of War: Ragnarök as a Shield Maiden, having regained a pure physical form thanks to Freya and her Vanir magic. She is nevertheless freed by Kratos and Atreus after they engaged and defeated her physical form. As she became too dangerous, Eir eventually found herself sealed away by the Valkyrie Queen in Midgard. She is one of the nine Valkyries who have been cursed by Odin to remain in a corporal form, eventually driving them to insanity. and even a certain all-knowing sage who once drank too much and fell off a mountain.Įir is a Valkyrie introduced in God of War (2018). ![]() She healed the wounds of both mortals and gods. Where her sisters were violent rapids, Eir was a gentle stream. ![]()
