Arena 2

Trial II: Normal

Survive for 5 mins

This is very straightforward. You just have to fight defensively for 5 minutes. Having enchantments and talisman that give you a burst of health or healing capability may help but the best way to survive is killing the enemies quickly and efficiently. Enemies will drop healthstones as well so make sure to pick them up only if you need them. Atreus’ shock arrows will help a lot in crowd control. Like before, prioritize taking out the ranged enemies then use runic attacks if to quickly whittle down their numbers.

Trial II: Hard

Enemies quickly regenerate health

You can’t Kill enemies here by combos alone so you have no choice but to take them out instantly by using finishers. Make sure to switch to Atreus light arrows then pummel enemies with bare-handed attacks to quickly build up the stun gauge and finish them off quickly.

Once the heavy draugrs start appearing, make sure to throw them off the cliff since Kratos can’t finish them off quickly compared to the light draugrs. For shield-wielding reavers, at this point you should already have the shield bash Skill that will allow Kratos to break their guard momentarily. In that brief open moment, pummel it with punches and light arrows until you’re able to finish it off. Finally, when dealing with speed draugrs, unequip your weapons and you can either let them charge towards you then parry their attacks so you can counterattack with punches and light arrows to build their stun meter almost instantly.
