I show the build I'm using in this video twice. Once in the beginning and once at the end. When making this video I tried to find a way to make the method as simple and consistent as possible. Something to keep in mind is the Asgard enchantment set with one enchantment from Midgard is very important. I don't know if its a glitch or intended but using that combination of three Asgard enchantments with one Midgard enchantment increases your damage output by a noticeable amount. Without it you would need to make up the damage difference with the Spiritual Engraving enchantment which makes this method much messier.
The method for the solo boss fights is the same for all of them. Throw a spear before the fight starts. Apply Hex to them to make use of Sigil Punishment and the Vanaheim enchantment set. Then let them hit you so you can activate Valor Rage to get a Gift of Strength, Valorous Bloodthirst, and Enraged Might. Then active your relic to slow down time and activate the Berserker chest buff. Hit triangle to detonate your spear to get the Detonators Might buff. Then hit them with a Scorched Earth attack during one of their attacks.
For the 2 Berserker fights that have more then one boss its a little different. Stay by Freya. To help with this tell her to shoot arrows so she stands still. Then tell her to use her poison runic attack. That keeps her from moving and activates the Vanaheim enchantment set bonus for all the bosses at once. At that point one boss should go for you and one should go for Freya. Then you should perform the strategy as normal.
The only boss besides the King and Gna that I couldn't defeat in one hit with this method was Haklangr The Bearded. This Berserker doesn't attack until he puts on an element shield/armor. Once the shield goes on you would need to hit him multiple times to defeat him. One of the things that make one shotting bosses possible is the fact that Scorched Earth does bonus damage to enemies that are in the process of attacking. Because he doesn't attack until he has the element shield/armor it seems impossible to get the one shot. I will keep looking for an answer for this and if I find one I will post a video. If you got an answer please let me know. I would prefer to not do gear changes mid combat to get it either.
This strategy is done without having farmed any stats in New Game Plus. If you farm stats this method will get stronger and stronger. It will make it possible to kill them quicker with an even simpler method. In God of War 2018 I farmed the Dews to increase my stats and the damage became insane. Eventually I intend on doing the same here.
