'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' Boss Guide: How to Beat Fenrir the Wolf

By Renz O. Soliman Published 09/24/24 EDT

Assassin's Creed Valhalla features a ton of challenging bosses that take inspiration from mythologies. One example of this is the game's mighty wolf Fenrir.

Ubisoft added a variety of extra details in the game to keep players engaged with content outside of the main story. Some of these are the addition of mythical beasts scattered throughout the world.

These are tough mini-bosses that have somewhat unpredictable attack patterns that will test even the mightiest players' skills. One enemy, in particular, is Fenrir, who can be fought during the "Binding Fate" quest.

This guide will help players learn how to prepare for the fight. It will also tell you what to do to beat Fenrir reliably. Keeping these tips in mind will let you overcome this challenging boss.

Starting the Quest

The first thing you need to know is how to start the Binding Fate quest, which can be acquired by traveling to Heimdall's Tower. You will be tasked with going to Lyngvi Island to speak to Tyr, and you will immediately face off against the boss, according to Game Rant.

Fighting Fenrir

This boss' attacks are powerful and are somewhat difficult to anticipate similar to the other mythical beasts. One particular move you should keep an eye out for is Fenrir's lunging move. You should focus on using melee attacks on the enemy's legs and pick up nearby arrows to use for Eivor's Bow.

The "Focus of Nornir" ability will let players slow down time to give them more chances to attack Fenrir before the boss dodges. This particular fight also has the giant wolf digging underground before attacking you.

Keep a lookout for a cloud of dirt that rises above the ground to anticipate where he will pop up to dodge accordingly. After this, Fenrir will stay still for a moment, giving you a chance to dish out some big damage, GamePressure said.

When you bring the boss down to two-thirds of its maximum health, you can grab Gleipnir and bind Fenrir tighter. This will mark the end of the first phase and the fight will shift to the second part.

Here Fenrir will grab a massive tree trunk and gain access to sweeping attacks. These have a much longer range than his normal attacks so be careful. At some point, the boss will lose his balance and be susceptible to counterattacks.

After you bring the boss' health another third, the fight will shift to the third and final phase. Fenrir will jump to a nearby cliff and will throw boulders at your location. After a while, he will come back and you can continue the battle.

This phase gives the boss access to a special attack where he will run in circles to create a dangerous tornado. Keep wary of it and keep attacking Fenrir's legs to whittle his health down to zero.

After defeating Fenrir, players will receive notification that they have completed the Binding Fate quest, according to RepublicWorld.
