God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC thinks you were having it too easy, ups the challenge in latest patch

There is a latest patch out for God of War Ragnarok’s Valhalla DLC, and for probably the most part it’s raised the issue across the board.

Announced at The Game Awards, God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla is a neat little little bit of free DLC that adds in a roguelike mode to the story driven adventure game. A brand new update dropped earlier this week, with the full patch notes going into some detail about all of the changes. In a slight show of kindness, there’s one change that may make things easier, specifically on the simplest difficulty setting Show Me Will, as the primary Tyr fight has now been made easier. Nonetheless, that is the only thing that is been made easier unfortunately.

In response to the patch notes, the issue of some arena challenges has been increased for one, and there is a “barely reduced health gain and probability of proc on Spear kill perk” too. The notes also state that there is been some “tuning adjustment to ‘The Forum’ to make difficulty more appropriate,” though it is not clear in what direction based on the notes. Director of Valhalla Mihir Sheth explained on Twitter that the team “adjusted the issue of the ultimate crit path boss fights to be reduced on Show Me Will (the bottom difficulty setting) based on early observations. Optional challenges have had their difficulty increased nevertheless across all difficulty settings.”

There have been also quite a lot of fixes across gameplay, UI, and general stability issues, so the DLC should overall be playing a bit higher for you now.

For those who were nervous that Valhalla spelled the top for the rebooted God of War series, you do not have to be, as the sport’s senior author has suggested that the story will proceed. Though exactly how that may come about, I’m sure we’ll should wait a couple of years to search out out.
