This first phase of the encounter is easy enough to survive, but the combination of the enemy's size and the suspenseful setting (pun intended) result in a quick and deliberate taste of the tension to come. While you're aboard a rickety wooden ascending the mountain from within, Hraezlyr will rear his ugly head to terrorize you.
Kratos' quest to reach the summit of the Midgard mountain will find him face to face with this Dark Souls-inspired dragon monstrosity of epic proportions.
