STRANGER - God of War PS4 (2018) - The Marked Trees - Part 2
After the fight with the DAUDI, Kratos and Atreus start to come back towards their home, but on the way, they need to face two smaller groups of enemies. With Draugr, the game introduces a new type of enemy, who are resistant to frost and to the ax.
The game also introduces the stun meter.
Once an enemy is stunned you can do a visceral finish on it by pressing R3 near it.
After you defeated the groups, look for the boarded up area and throw your ax to bring down the barrier, which will let you pass through.
Run forward to the house and enjoy the long cutscene after pressing circle on the door.
Enter The Stranger. This is a boss fight and a little more difficult than the DAUDI fight.
The fight will happen in three different stages, each more difficult than the last. Also within the fight, you will be introduced to two new mechanics, namely, the BLOCK by using L1 and the RAGE by using L3 + R3.
STRANGER ATTACKS
The stranger has normal 3 hit and 4 hit melee combo you can block. Time it right and you will make him stunned for some moment. This will also open up new Labor or Challenge for Parrying.
The stranger also uses variations of melee with rapid movement, these are also blockable.
He will use a ground pound attack, which sends a shock/ice blast straight in front of him. When he does this a red circle will show up around him just before he does this attack. This attack is unblockable. Simply evade to the side.
In the third stage the stranger will use a jumping ice storm attack, where he jumps high up and creates an ice storm where Kratos is standing and also does a massive ground pound. Evade to the side outside of the ice storm circle before he does a ground pound.
STRANGER STRATEGY
All the stages become much easier if you can start blocking his attacks. He keeps on standing around, so hit him as much as you can and then get ready to block. Always look out for his ground pound attacks, as these do massive damage.
Watch the below video for the fight.
After the fight is over, walk to the house to end The Marked Trees mission and start the next main mission, Path to The Mountain.
