Valravn is the god of illusion and keeper of the Mark of Valravn. A monstrous hybrid between man and raven, he is one of two boss enemies that must be fought in order to open Helheim's gate.

Appearance[]

Valravn takes the appearance of a tall thin man, wrapped in ribbons of dark cloth around his body. His head is made up of the skull of a raven, black feathers tailing from it down over his shoulders like a hood. He uses a pair of sickles as his primary weapons.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice[]

Unlike his counterpart, Surtr, Valravn actually appears earlier on during the illusion puzzles leading up to his fight. He emits a dark, ominous chanting but will disappear whenever Senua gets close to him.

Danish folklore[]

Unlike Surtr, Valravn is not actually a figure in Norse lore; he instead comes from Danish lore about supernatural ravens. The ravens appear in traditional Danish folksongs, where they are described as originating from ravens who eat the bodies of the dead on the battlefield, as capable of turning into the form of a knight after eating the entire heart of a child, and, alternately, as half-wolf and half-raven creatures.
