The roguelite Valhalla DLC for God of War: Ragnarok starts Kratos off without some of his old gear, such as the Berserker Armour.
What’s more, armours inside Valhalla are purely cosmetic as well. Still, you’ll miss having your old armours if you are fond of their looks.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to unlock the Berserker and Flawless Berserker armours for use inside of Valhalla!
How to Unlock The Berserker & Flawless Berserker Armour Skins in Valhalla
The first big pre-requisite to get the Flawless Berserker Armour in the Valhalla DLC is to complete the main questline of the DLC.
If you have yet to complete the main quest, you should go do so. We won’t spoil it for you here!
For those of you who did complete it, though, you can now access the forum arena in Greece, which is the final location you visit in Valhalla.
There’s a little extra step to be able to enter the arena each run, as well.
You might recall that you get tasked with defeating 6 of Valhalla’s Chosen to be able to face Tyr, the final boss of the DLC.
Well, just defeat 7 of Valhalla’s Chosen instead of 6 to unlock the forum arena for the current run.
You’ll encounter the forum arena close to the central part of the Greece realm, where the Tablet of Endeavor and the Fleeting Echoes chests are.
Just take the path opposite the tablet and follow the foggy path until you’re overlooking the area with the tablet.
Look for a grapple point here and pull yourself up to find the large forum arena, which will be open as long as you’ve killed 7 of Valhalla’s Chosen during the current run.
Enter the arena and interact with the tear at the center to face a Berserker. Get ready, though, they’re the buffed New Game+ variants and they pack quite a punch!
Note that you’ll also get the “Fight at the Forum” trophy at this point, even if you lose.
If you manage to defeat the Berserker, you just need to finish your run. Then, repeat the whole process again to defeat a second Berserker.
Facing King Hrolf Kraki
Now that you’ve done the entire process twice and defeated two Berserkers, you’ll have to start yet another run of Valhalla.
Just like before, repeat the entire process to open the forum arena a third time. Interact with the tear once you’re ready and you’ll get to face a new secret boss, King Hrolf Kraki!
He replaces the usual Berserkers and is a brutal challenge. He was already tough in the base game, but he’s even stronger here.
To make matters worse, the roguelike randomization of the Valhalla DLC makes it hard to consistently prepare yourself to deal with him.
You’ll just have to rely on making the most out of the perks and glyphs you got during your run. Play carefully, because King Hrolf can quickly end you quickly if you mess up.
Manage to defeat this powerful foe and you’ll get the Standard and Flawless Berserker Armour skins for use inside Valhalla, as well as the powerful Hilt of Skofnung relic.

Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
