The valkyrie wasn't the sticking point in Ragnarok, if you can beat the queen in the original you can beat this one too.
It was that final Berserker King. He's just got such a ridiculous number of moves he can do and you have to be prepared for.
So satisfying when you finally kick his teeth in, although I came perilously close to turning the difficulty down.
I fought him so many times I practically memorized everything he can do and how to spot it. It's a great fight because he's essentially all the previous berserkers in one. Tye Valkyrie queen defeated me though. I did everything you can do in the game besides beating her.
I completely disagree.
The original Queen and the King are basically the same challenge. Both of them require you to go through a gauntlet of fights to get to the end. Their underlings all have their own unique style themselves but each piece of them is added to the Queen or King as a whole. By the time you start to fight them, you already know 90-95% of their moves. They have a lot of moves but you've experienced them and have some training.
Then there's the Ragnarok Valkyrie who shows up out of nowhere with moves you've never seen anywhere else in game. Moves that move psychotically fast and are terrific in their brutality.
It took me 4 attempts to kill the king.
It took me 20+ to get the valkyrie.
I disagree. I wasn't able to beat them in the original, but I was able to beat them in Ragnarok.
