Yeah, the Ragnarök. There's only a handfull of people wo survive that. Óđin die's fighting Fenrir, yet Fenrir he kills as well. Týr fights Garmr, and is killed by him as well and Ţórr fights Jörmungandr.... Those are the 3 most important fights, now the make to God/evil God duel list complete;

Freyr - Surtr (A Jotun/Giant)
Heimdallr - Loki

And af course the army of Einherjar, the troops of Óđin, against all the troops the evil Gods/Myth stuff has got.

(please note all name's are given in Old Norse, most have a English varian,t ussualy just dropping the r, since that's the nominative singular male case. đ's and ţ's become d's and th's, Ţórr = Thor, Óđin = Odin))
