Want to know how to beat the Traveler in God of War Ragnarok? As you progress through God of War Ragnarök, you will have to fight dozens of powerful opponents before you reach the final. From powerful gods like Thor to minibosses like Hardrefill, you’ll have to kill everyone and everything. In addition, fans of the God of War series will face an opponent they met in the previous Kratos game, namely the Traveler. While the Traveler isn’t the problem opponent, it’s powerful enough to finish you off in a couple of hits. So our guide is here to help you and tell you how to beat the Traveler in God of War Ragnarök.
How to Beat the Traveler in God of War Ragnarök
First of all, it is worth noting that in the new game about the legendary Kratos, you will meet two variants of the Traveler boss at once. The classic version of the Traveler is slightly faster than the Traveler Champion and not much different from the one you met in the previous God of War. But at the same time, the Traveler does not have a shield on its back, unlike its more powerful counterpart, Traveler Champion. Therefore, his back is open for strikes, and you will have more opportunities to deal damage.
Your first encounter with the Traveler will happen in Midgard during The Word of Fate quest. The boss can hardly be named very strong, and besides, Freya will be with you during this battle, so the fight will not be long. Most of the boss’s attacks are sweeping blows with a two-handed sword. You can block or parry all attacks except the one that ends the combo. Be careful, and at the end of the boss attack, dodge with a sidestep or a roll.

Otherwise, you should attack from afar while the boss is attacking and hit hard with your Blades of Chaos when he is idle. In addition, here are some tips to beat the Traveler in God of War Ragnarök faster:
- First of all, do not forget that you are not fighting alone. Use Freya’s arrows to boost Kratos’ elemental damage and runic attacks.
- Take your time and memorize the boss’s attack combinations. Wait for the right moment to deal maximum damage and not lose health.
- As with most other bosses in the game, you can deal the most damage by attacking the head of the boss.
- Unlike the Traveler Champion, the Traveler does not have a shield on its back. So if you’re fast enough, you can deal extra damage from behind while the boss is attacking.
