God of War: The First Ogre - boss, how to beat?

On this page of the God of War game guide, you will find a description of the first duel with the ogre. This is the boss fight from the crossing towards the mountain in the early stage of game. The following walkthrough compiles the ogre's attacks and explains how to gradually weaken this foe.

1. The encounter with the first ogre occurs on the path towards the mountain, shortly after the first meeting with the witch and the great serpent Jormungand.
2. The ogre is a big and strong monster and this means you have to avoid its melee attacks.
3. You will need to focus on dodging and calmly look for opportunities to launch counterattacks. It may also work to throw Kratos' axe to avoid risking unnecessary health loss in a direct confrontation.
4. Regular enemies can stay near the ogre. An interesting fact is that after taking away enough health points of the ogre, you can mount it and force it to attack and clear the arena of remaining enemies.
5. The main reward for winning the first duel with the ogre is a frozen flame, which allows you to upgrade the Leviathan axe at the blacksmith and unlock new skills. Besides, defeating the monster will allow you to use the path leading through the gate towards the black smoke.
