How many Valkyries are there in God of War?

sportskeeda.com:

Valkyries are an optional part of God of War that players certainly won't want to skip out on, if they have the time. There are a handful of bosses in the base game, but nothing quite matches the varied battles that the Valkyries bring.

The legendary warriors sworn to Odin are scattered across the realms, and players will have to do some exploration to find them all.

There are nine different Valkyries to fight, and the final one can only be reached once players have defeated all of the subsequent winged warriors. The final fight is typically regarded as the toughest fight in the game.

There are nine different Valkyries that players can fight against in God of War. Players must take on the first eight before accessing the final fight against the Queen. There are eight scattered across different realms within the game until then.

Of those 8, six must be found in hidden vaults, and the last two have their own unique requirements full of additional challenges. Below is a complete list of their locations.

Most of these optional bosses have unique movesets that players need to learn. Not only does this give each fight a separate tone, but players will also need to remember these for the final fight.

Sigrun utilizes the moves of every Valkyrie before her, and her battle is undoubtedly the most daunting in the game. But if the players can take her down, God of War is smooth sailing after.
