You had set out alongside Freya and Kratos on a crucial mission: to free Freyr from the Einherjar. As you advanced, Heimdall, with his usual arrogance, ambushed you, confident in his ability to defeat you all. This wasn't the first time you had encountered him; you knew him from your time in Asgard with Atreus, where you had spent a significant amount of time.

Determined to face Heimdall, you stepped forward, despite Kratos and Freya's doubts about letting you fight him alone. While they recognized your strength, they also knew he was an extremely dangerous opponent. Eventually, they accepted your decision and continued with the main mission.

Heimdall, with his sarcastic tone and air of superiority, exclaimed, "Do you think you can take me on, huh, Sunshine?" As he spoke, he was mounted on his imposing steed, Gulltoppr, a great Gradungr, which accentuated his intimidating presence.
