Who is Soul Eater in God of War Ragnarok?

The Ancients are called so because they have existed since the beginning of time and are said to be persistent parts of the primordial being Ymir. Except for the Ancient One of Alfheim, most of them live in Midgard, usually hidden in its landscapes thanks to having a body composed of rocks.

They also appear peaceful creatures, as they do not attack unless provoked. However, the Soul Eater must be taken down in God of Ragnarok because it does not belong there.

Each Ancient One belongs to a natural element, such as fire or ice. Some Soul Eaters in God of War Ragnarok, for instance, are linked to lightning or fire. Their body consists only of a torso, a head, and limbs connected by a heart. They lack sensory organs and have no mouth. Therefore they are unable to speak.

How to Defeat Soul Eater in God of War Ragnarok?

The best way to beat the Soul Eater in God of War Ragnarok is to learn their movement pattern.

The Ancients are, in essence, golems. There are several types, but they all behave the same.

  • if you are close, they pound the ground
  • if you are far away, they open their chests and shoot some element or throw bombs

This is the moment to attack: you must throw the axe against the core, which will drop fragments that you can use as grenades. Then, once stunned, you can execute it without mercy.

God of War Ragnarok is available on PS4 and PS5.
