An adrenaline-fuelled boss fight against him the moment players enter Asgard sounds like a very alluring prospect indeed. He is, for all practical purposes, Asgard’s first line of defence, and in charge of anyone who enters and exists the realm using the Bifrost. If Kratos does indeed head to Asgard to take on the Aesir – and it’s looking very likely that he will – there’s absolute no way he will not come up against Heimdall. But then again, Kratos has never been one to value associations like that too much, so you never know. Of course, as things stand right now, Kratos only seems to be headed for a fight with the Aesir, and his association with the jotun has been surprisingly friendly- from Faye to Jormungandur to, of course, Atreus, who is half-jotun. Getting to take on this massive jotun in an epic boss fight would be a very God of War thing for the game to do. According to Norse mythology and according to God of War’s own take on it, Surtr is destined to be a key figure in Ragnarok, supposedly as the one who will bring about the destruction of Asgard. The head honcho of all fire giants, Surtr is almost definitely going to have a major role to play in the upcoming sequel. And given the series’ track record, we’re more than just a little optimistic about that as well. That there will be a Thor boss fight is not even a question at this point, so as far as this entry is concerned, what we’re hoping for is solid execution. The entire game, in fact, built Thor up as a formidable foe, and there’s absolutely no doubt that he’s going to be a major antagonist in God of War: Ragnarok. God of War (2018) ended with the incredible tease of a future locking of horns between Kratos and Thor, son of Odin. Let’s kick things off with the most obvious pick. WARNING: There are spoilers ahead for God of War (2018). With all of the rich depths of Norse mythology and the series’ own lore to dive into, there’s no shortage of figures that Kratos and Atreus could come up against in set-piece encounters, and here, we’re going to talk about a few that we’re hoping will make the cut. With all the groundwork for the engine and new gameplay mechanics in place, SIE Santa Monica will hopefully be in a position where they can spend more time on in-game content, which will probably include boss fights.
This article by stinkfoot provided some very useful background information on the ACA/PSA issue.God of War as a series has built its reputation on excellent boss fights, and even though that was an area where the 2018 soft reboot fell short of expectations, we’re quite optimistic about how things will turn out in its upcoming sequel. And they still work fine when power by an internal battery. They also sill work fine when daisy-chained to other pedals. The pedals can now be used with a single modern AC adapter power supply. Here's the jumper between holes 10 and 11 on the DS-1. I just used part of component lead for the jumper wire.įor the HM-2 Heavy Metal the holes are 4 and 5.Īh, the DS-1 has two sets of blue and yellow wires! Joy! But by looking at the connections to the power supply jack and input jack you can see that holes 10 and 11 should be jumpered. Here's the jumper for holes 2 and 3 on the CE-3 chorus.
Here is the ACA sticker on a DS-1 Distortion pedal.įor all the pedals in my stash, the mod is to jumper the blue wire that goes to the power supply to the yellow wire that goes to the input jack. The jumper can be placed at the numbered wire connections at the end of the board near the control knobs. This mod has no effect if you are using the battery - the resistor is cut out of the circuit if nothing is plugged in to the power supply jack. The newer Boss pedals do not have this series resistor. The mod is simple: jumper the series resistor. Modify the ACA pedals to accept the PSA supply. Daisy-chain the power supply (in parallel) to some non-ACA pedals. I also had a HM-2 that sounded really terrible and ratty with the PSA supply.ġ. But when I used a PSA supply the LED wouldn't light up when I engaged the pedal. In my case I had a CE-3 chorus that worked fine with a battery.
The pedal might not get enough voltage if you use a PSA power supply on a ACA pedal.
The ACA-style pedals have a series resistor (and diode) that drops some voltage from the power supply. The ACA voltage is unregulated and the PSA supplies a regulated voltage. The ACA supplied a higher voltage than the PSA. These older pedals required the Boss ACA adapter and they have a sticker on the housing right next to the power supply jack. The older BOSS pedals may not work correctly with a modern AC power adapter (like a 1-Spot or Boss PSA).
