Great I'm at the end game and stopped to explore and find everything but since playing I love the fact they explained why they took Mimir's measurements lol
Imagine being so honorable in life, to have kratos himself paying respects for you in your funeral
@Michael lmfao but spartan army is still alive in god of war 2 zues killed them with blade of olympus after he killed kratos but when kratos came from past he saved himself and so does his army too zues never killed kratos so he didn't got time to kill his army
And Kratos naming his son "Atreus" in Honor of you. Atreus of Sparta must of been really special and close to Kratos
Atreus gave and show Kratos the most powerful gift of all; hope. Which is what Athena wanted out of Pandoras Box after Pandora was killed and the box was opened again. I believe that Atreus is why Kratos had a family
@@dudebro5527 I hope they don't do have an Atreus or Calliope choice in the next game. It would sort of undo the man that Kratos has become.
Pay respects at his funeral? Kratos carried Atreus back to Sparta on his shield and buried him with all the Spartans customs. Ultra respect
“His memory was a comfort in dark times”
A memory of light can carry you through even the darkest of days
Fuck i almost had tears😭😭
Shit made me tear up i felt that one
That’s deep.
Thats what he said.
"That though we were machines of war, yet there was humanity in us, goodness."
He actually does miss Sparta and it's people.
I think he Still have the pain that he Didn't save his People and Didn't save his own Family i mean his mother Die In his Hands and his brother Die saveing kratos that why he don't love his Past
@@overplayx6249 all that's true but home is still home he was a spartan for many years before everything changed I imagine he still misses some of those moments with his fellow soldiers etc...
That was obvious from the way he kept the wine
First generation migrants always miss their homeland
He also misses the olives from Sparta
That's actually a good reason for naming his son. It brings him good memories and hope.
he give him the name of the best human he meet in his life on Sparta.
call his child Deimos was going to be to much horrible.
not good memory have of his brother, is one of his lot fail not protect deimos.
Atreus is the name of the most human and happy spartan warrior, that even inspire hope and humanity in all spartan warriors, machines of death.
that why calling Loki atreus was the best, his child is the only thing that bring hope and humanity to kratos, a monster.
I think it's more to both honor a friend, and wish luck upon his son.
Yes, but he calls him 'BOI' 90% of time
I remember when they are on the boat, after Atreius learns he is a god, he says "I know I'm not what you wanted", then this scene happens later as if to tell him that no father would take such care in picking a name for a child he didn't want. The writing is subtle and touching in all the best ways.
@@JamesBucket imagine if he called him Wes....:)
To summarize the story:
Atreus was just built different
Facts lol
😂😂😂
He a different breed
BdBear Bruh you don’t get the joke
Lebron started this "were built different" quote...
“A Spartan warrior never lets his back hit the ground. Even in death, a Spartan stands tall for battle.”
John Jones #LLD🕊
Deimos
300
Right brother
Yes, it was a great honor for a Spartan to die in battle, and if he died surrounded by all the enemies he took with him to the underworld, he was given full burial rights and his family would've been honored.
"He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He was...happy." I think it's incredibly sad how alien it is to Kratos to remember someone who was happy. Kratos lived a life of death, pain and empty vengeance. Most of the people he knew were reflections of that; gods who cared nothing for human suffering, monsters created solely to destroy, fallen heroes and demigods cursed for their mistakes. There was no one in the original GoW trilogy who struck me as decent and/or happy. Kratos wants better for Atreus, he wants his son to make better choices and be what he himself never had the chance to be; happy.
What about the Last Spartan in GoW2?
Bro he barely get some Joy out of being a father.
The hardest part of this game was realizing Kratos is still empty, he still has damning regret and pain inside of him. His only reason for living now is for Atreus, and to honor the memory of his Wife, and Family. Both of them....
Well said, that's exactly what the writers of this game wanted players to understand about kratos's change.
I think naming Kratos' son as Atreus actually carry more of symbolical meaning. Remember he is supposed to be Loki, the one who pushes everything too far to start Ragnarok, where everyone is supposed to die and everything is destroyed.
I think naming him Atreus, Kratos' symbol of hope and happiness may lead to a path not similar to what he suffered in his past and his son becoming not like him but someone better.
Its haunting the way he said "what would Loki do?" though, considering the mythical Loki's hatred for the gods causing this world's apocalypse just like Kratos... yeah I really like how that mirrors Kratos' own past journey. Now I wonder how Kratos would react on that.
If Kratos says someone is good then he must have been a very unique person indeed.
@AdeptKing Would you reply even after a year? And yes i agree with you.
@@akealalawad8898 i guess not
@@akealalawad8898 I would
Kratos buried one Atreus, and delivered another.
That little laugh kratos let out makes me think hes been waiting for the day his son would ask his this question
I think it was more about naming him after a god, but maybe
True. I do the same thing.
@@jamesmorris5847 the way he told the story makes me disagree just because he's terrible at telling stories. But he certainly thought that one out, well
"I know it can't be for a god" I think he laughs cause his son knows he wouldn't name him after something he loaths so much. Kind of another sign that they have grown to better understand one another
no, that wasn't it but I liked the theory
to anyone who is wondering,
no, he isnt talking about the last spartan from gow2
dope malone that would've been cool though.
JPR true
It's true man
dope malone Don’t care still the last spartan to me
That last spartan was indeed worthy of respect. I agree so far with Karatos's quote "all spartans are great warriors"
“Was he a great warrior?” “All Spartans are great warriors.” This story also shows you how Kratos has changed. What he remembered about Atreus of Sparta, what he valued most from him, isn’t his prowess in battle or his tactical genius or his power. It was his humanity, the ability to smile and inspire hope in others. It’s the same affect that his son has on him now, hence his name
Yeah considering that he would sometimes see those as fodder to over come obstacles. Like, to pull a lever.
The original Atreus must have been a real diamond in the rough if Kratos admires him. Even more so since it seems he knew him even before the events of GOW.
Even more so if you consider he named his only son after him
Must be before he was a spartan general and was just a soldier
Kratos always liked real warriors, even Hercules, his brother he greeted with respect before killing him.
My guess is that the Atreus he speaks about must have been part of the Battle of Thermopylae, AKA The 300

1:27 - I love that Atreus is legit surprised that his dad told a decent story.
He told one on par with Mimir’s for once
Im the 100th like... i have risen brothers
If he told his life story, his story would make Mimir’s story sounds like an amateur
I remember playing it for the first time and I just went where was this story when we were rowing the boat for hours?
@@TheDeadlySaint6396 - lol, right?!
Well, that the the gripping tortoise and hare story.
"He was a soldier. A Spartan."
"A great warrior?"
"*All* Spartans are great warriors."
I still love the little hint of pride in Kratos' voice. Even if it was a harsh and unforgiving place, it was still home.
Shorter answer Atreus was a Chad
"He wore a smile even in the worst of times. He was happy." In a way, that is all he wants for Atreus which is to be happy. That is why he avoids telling him about the Gods or his past in the beginning.
Yep, that's many reasons why I like the new kratos, cause he would do anything to make his son happy even if it means killing himself or let atreus kill him but at the same time, he wanted him to be better, more wiser, and in general a good god that would help good people that deserves the need of helping
@@yehezkielrickjoyner6843 The claim that the old kratos was one dimensional is straight out wrong
“I carried him home on his shield and buried him with all the honors of spartan custom”. Just wow 😢
Faye:this is our son kratos i would like to name him loki
Kratos: NO his name is......boi
Faye:that sounds stupid
Kratos: woman do you hear me
Well turns out she was a legendary giant and kratos had to choose a different name
@Silver Chariot Because not all giants were as big as Thamur. Some were big as a mortal.
@@ssk58607 he climbed for it
The Jötnar were magical in nature, knew all kinds of spells and some of them were skinchangers. Meaning they could change size at will, if the need suited them. Thamur needed to be big in order to build the giant wall around Jötunheim.
@@ssk58607 yes but kratos in the prophecy was written as the father of Loki mentioned in Norse mythology. For the moment everything leading to ragnorak is connected. Including kratos. The next 2 parts will likely show hardship and how far can kratos go to change fate for his son to at least spare him from ragnorak.
Sounds to me like the original Atreus was Kratos's commander, before Kratos became captain of the Spartans.
Agreed
Yes indeed
You guys didn’t play the originals, Atreus was a young spartan, kratos was a general at the time, leading thousands of Spartans to battle before the barbarions overwhelm them in numbers, that’s when kratos‘ legend started
@@fahrenheitflare2646 yeah but he said "his sacrifice saved countless others, and turned the tide in our favor", in the original it was Ares who killed all the barbarians for kratos. So no, Atreus of Sparta died a long time ago before Kratos became a captain.
Zer0wl I thought he was the spartan he accidentally killed in the second one
I love this scene. The pride in his voice as he tells his son "All spartans are great warriors" is the same pride my father had when I asked him if our Pomo people were good hunters and basket makers. I know it is not the exact same thing, but that point of pride in heritage really stuck with me.
As it should be. Take pride in your people's heritage. I take pride in my Mexican heritage but also in taking In the customs of the mandalorians. Never let anyone disrespect your people's legacy.
Wow, that is wonderful. Respect to you and your people.
That’s sweet actually.

The background music is so fucking perfect. The journey was worth it for this moment alone.
I'm trying to find the damn track myself
Dark Eyes O-X found it?
Misael Toral fr it synced up perfectly when kratos was telling the story
Lullaby of the giants
Dark Eyes O-X it’s called Lullaby of the Giants
Imagine being named after a great Spartan warrior, not because he was a great Spartan warrior, but because he was happy and filled the lives of those around him with joy and hope. That is what Atreus brings to Kratos:
Happiness. Joy. Hope.
Atreus is the one thing Kratos got right in his life, and it's why he pushes his son so hard, to be better than he was, to not make the same mistakes he did, and to have what he did not.
Happiness.
kratos never got anything wrong zeus wronged him
Kratos: And what would Loki do?
Me: Attack New York with an army of Chitauri?
Transform into a mare and give birth to a giant 8-legged horse?
Become a variant and save the timeline from his other variant
Stab Kang and fuck the timeline harder than the flash on viagra
Loki is the essential figure in Norse, He is the one who started Rag Na Rok, he govern Asgardian Fate. he is the embodiment of humanity. the slight imperfection in a story of full glory and perfectness..Loki is Us..loki is the reality in Imaginary tales
become the dad of a giant wolf?
become the mother of a horse cause his version of 'distraction' consists of fucking
I love how it isn't the the soldier Atreus' strength or battle prowess that Kratos admires, but his ability to stay positive and happy. He respected being able to stay cheery more than his other qualities. Tells you a lot about Kratos' character.
I love how, at the moment Kratos says "His memory was a comfort in dark times", the feminine, higher vocals started singing. It brought such peace, even more that would be with only the sentence itself.
I honestly cry every time I hear this story, because it shows after kratos went through everything he did, it shows his soft side and that he truly loves Atreus
“ALL SPARTANS ARE GREAT WARRIORS”
One day I'll name my future son as Atreus. Not because of the game but the story of a great spartan that still has humanity inside. Goodness.
I'm having my son this December and I'm naming him Atreus! Vincent will be his middle name, atreus= fearless and Vincent = to conquer.💪strong name💯
@@isaacdavila3477 I hope you and Atreus Vincent are having a great time together
Life was grim and we greeted it grimly
0:25 I just noticed, after Atreus’ comment on his name, Kratos’ “Huh.” is the first time he chuckles at something (0:29). Such a great development of his character even in the game’s final moments.
He chuckled before this scene in this game, though it is rare. Once Mimir trolled Atreus about dragon excrement and once Mimir repeatedly told same lines about Baldur and his weakness.
@realnigga yes
In a world of sex, violence and fate screwing everyone over for the end of the world, Kratos still holds the memory of a man who believed in hope beyond those of the blade.
That is so heartwarming, to know that the reason Kratos chose the name Atreus is because his son brought him joy and happiness even in his darkest days.
For the god of war to name his son after you. Atreus must have been an exceptional warrior
He just mentioned why. No need to make it sound like a mystry
I thought Kratos would named his son after his fallen brother Deimos.
Jacob Ray Helsing Those are probably pretty painful memories, also naming him like a beacon of hope might be a way for him to project hapiness and peace to his son. He probably doesn't want Atreus to be a "true spartan" like him and his brother, because they only know war and pain
mikelms20 damn that was deep, man. Thanks for sharing your point of view.
Agreed
Jacob Ray Helsing kratos already honored his brother by tattooing himself with the red mark on his body
Jacob Ray Helsing Too Greek. It wouldn't have worked with the Norse theme. Deimos is also Greek for Dread, whereas Kratos is Greek for Power.
"Life was Grim and we greeted it Grimly" One of the most Savagest line ever
Has anyone turned the camera during this part to see if Kratos actually smiles for once?
Unfortunately I never even got to that part yet, in fact I haven't even gotten to the point where your (the player) supposed to meet mimar and cut his head off.
@@morganrussman why are u watching spoilers on yt rather than finishing it yourself?
@@killert41 A) just because it can because the idea of the game can be a bit brutal at times. I think I chose the idea of a story and a bit of a challenge.
@@morganrussman the idea of the game? Im speachless
@@killert41 what🤦♂️😞? Well, I think I meant there of the idea of the gameplay at times maybe.
Kratos : Though we were machines of war, we had humanity in us.
Meanwhile some years ago....
150 years ago: Zeus,Poseidon,Hermes,Helios,Hera, Etc. Got killed like hell plus the GOW 3 Music.
"Zeus!! Your son has returned! I bring the destruction of Olympus!"
Life was grim and we treated it grimly was a crazy dialogue.
It's hard not to feel the sadness in Kratos' voice when he speaks of his brother in battle. It kinda hurts inside him, and hard not to feel that when hearing him tell the story.
What a powerful thing to tell Atreus. That he was named after someone who genuinely gave kratos’ grim and angry self some hope that kratos wasn’t only a weapon, but had SOME humanity left. I hope Atreus sticks with his spartan name rather than loki, only because it makes his relationship with kratos so much stronger.
Seeing Kratos talking like this, with love and respect had me tearing. I love the new Kratos, he's no longer pure rage, now he is more human
I GOT 420 LIKES BLAZE ITTT
Indeed
I really think that's exactly what he meant when he told boy they "have to be better"! And that's such a beautiful message.
In the beginning of god of war 3 he said my vengeance ends now. With the Death of Zeus and by killing “himself”, he laid it all down. He even tried to get rid of the blades of chaos but couldn´t. He is one of some character that can start new and get over vengeance without dying by it or getting fully consumed by it. That is the true core message of the game.
He was always human he just was in a state of rage now he is in the aftermath
And above all, he's a father. It's beautiful.
Imagine if Atreus asked this question on the boat instead. Lord, Kratos woulda botched the story so badly.
Atreus: So why'd you wanna name me Atreus? I know it can't be for a god.
Kratos: Atreus of Sparta was a comrade in arms. He died. I named you after him.
Atreus: Why do I even bother asking?
Wait wait what haha I named him after you???? Isnt it I named you after him
@@tursol6805 whoops my bad lmao
@@squashmallow2006 dont worry it was just funny
Or kratos just does the ordinary " i do not know boy"
Something a lot of people tend to forget is that kratos was a man(demigod?) before he ascended into godhood. He was raised among people, lived a life as a human, had friends, family, and those he admired. Before he was the rage fueled beast of the original trilogy he was just another spartan.
It makes me happy and brings a tear to my eye that years later. Even after all his fighting and god hood. He still shows his humanity with scenes like this. He still admires a human for all the acts he committed even if it lead to this man's death.
I hope in the next game Loki sees the sacrifices his father had made to achieve power. His mother, his family, his brother, and all those kratos lost because he went to war with the gods.
Nope, we wasted time in Ironwood instead.
He was always a demi god. But as divinity is stronger than mortal genes he ascended to full godhood and has gained vast amounts of strength in his time.
This made me rewatch 300 again
Best story told in game. Had meaning, evoked hope and view of war and end ended in comedy with Atreus’s sarcasm about Kratos finally telling a good story lmao
His memory was a comfort in dark times” had me choked up 🥲
I cried straight out. I imagined someone saying it for me when I'm no longer, to have my time with them as a comfort, a reason to smile or at least let out a sigh in, the worst of times...
Well I cried buckets afterwards.
1:22 “His memory was a comfort in dark times” The timing of the choir singing and the protagonists entering the light is such a powerful moment.
A bit off topic from the video itself but its something I've been thinking about. In the beginning Baldur comes to Kratos' home looking for Feye, the last giant but mistakes Kratos for said giant (probably why he said "I thought you'd be bigger) so does that mean none of the Aesir Gods know that Kratos himself is a God from a foreign land? (aside from Mimir and Freya of course) Probably explains why Modi was so shocked that his brother was killed. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
JustSomeGamer that makes sense, they asume kratos is a giant basically because he carries the Leviathan axe (Faye's weapon) i bet they'll be more careful once they find out he's the ghost of sparta
well, there's the bit about when kratos was asked whether he was familiar with the underworld and he said, "not this one" and the fact that NOBODY sensed the blades of exile (yeah i know they call them the blades of chaos but kratos was given the blades of athena in the first game after the blades of chaos were removed and they were reforged in the beginning of god of war 3 into the blades of exile) till they were actually ON kratos. maybe because he wasn't born in midgard and atreus has kratos' blood in him, the protective rune freya gave them was hiding the axe and faye's blood instead.
Dennis Nedry makes sense, i can't wait for the sequel
JustSomeGamer They do not know about Kratos' origin, but the Norse gods had prior relationship with the Greek pantheon.
Mimir knew Zeus and Athena, and guessed that Kratos pretty much wiped Olympus.
Well what i undestand was that they knew Faye was living with a foreigner, and Baldur thought Kratos was hiding her when they met. Because he said "your kind were supposed to be so enlighted", and greeks were famous for their many advances, scientific and philosophical. Also Baldur seems more concern on what was inside de house than kratos himself
Bro had to pause to make sure he wasn’t bugging
The way he structured the story was really beautiful, also it really goes well with his voice. Such a beautiful story...
This is him basically saying to his son "you bring me comfort in hard times."
The overall fact is that
Kratos is a good father who taught his son to not only be a great worrier but also a good person
He learnt for his mistake and he gave his son the love and care that he didn't got
Truly what a character development

Kratos: What would Loki do?
Loki: Turn into a mare and get pregnant?
Kratos: And THIS is why we named you Atreus.
Wait whaaaa
@@shido_anime22super50 One of Loki's major myths is the birth of Sleipnir, Odin's horse. Loki helped trick the giant who built Asgard's walls by luring away his horse, by turning into a mare (female horse) and getting it to chase him. Then he later bore a child from the encounter, and gave the horse to Odin as a gift.
He got pregnant to win a bet, by a horse of all things.
Why Loki has so many animals as offspring?
@@maestrulgamer9695 Could be a lot of reasons, most probably related to individual/local beliefs being incorporated into a larger cosmology.
Due to the less-than-stellar record we have of Norse beliefs and traditions, a lot of the origins of these beings and their purposes in early belief is lost. Post-Christian sources can't be trusted to give an accurate interpretation.
Loki's wife: So you actually gave birth before.
Loki: Yes, and it hurt like hell.
Loki's wife: Welcome to my world.
That choir hits at the right time...
Everybody is talking about atreus name but did nobody catch kratos's "hah"
"Wait, I thought you said you never laugh?"
"That was a *chuckle*, boy. Know the difference".
Lol
"You actually told a *good* story, and Mimir missed it"
I like how Kratos immediately affirms all Spartans are great warriors. Respect of his brothers.
Okay so he said that this was his time as a Spartan and I’m assuming before he sacrificed his soul to Aries, sounds like Atreus was a Spartan general that led kratos because of the way kratos describes him as having the traits of a good leader, just my theory
Atreus of Sparta was probably just a soldier or a good friend of Kratos, I don't think a happy guy would become a Spartan General that would lead his troops to battle and death, and I didn't really notice him saying that Atreus was a good leader, he just described him as a happy guy, a comfort in dark times and one that eventually sacrificed himself for battle
My favourite scene in the game. Goosebumps every time
This story is a comfort in dark times
DAD OF BOI

@@sunshine-id3jz beat me to it...but maybe he kills this pantheon and good comes of it
He did become a jerk for a while after finding out that he's a god, but he later returned to being nice again.
direct proof that kratos has the perfect storyteller voice
This shit actually brought a tear to my eye
This story caught me off guard when I was playing this game back then, and now that’s the first thing I think about when I think back to this game.
This adds some poignancy and depth as to why Kratos calls him "boy". While it's certainly embedded in his character (Mimir is simply "head"), it's clear to me the birth of Atreus was seen by Kratos as a legitimate sign of hope for distance from his past and growing proximity to a brighter future. But when Faye dies, the anchor for that hope seemingly dies, too, to say nothing of the fact Atreus probably bears a strong resemblance to Faye. It's almost as if calling his son anything but "boy" is too painful a reminder of what he's long hoped for and is now actively losing.
Ultimately, revealing Atreus' godhood and watching him struggle with and overcome the same rage-fueled egocentric proclivities probably rekindled Kratos' hopes in redeeming himself and realizing his son will be everything he couldn't.
The music is so calming what's the name of the soundtrack of the story of Atreus.
Lullaby of the Giants, it's from the official soundtrack.
Number 4
0:24 Everyone talks about how Kratos probably laughed at Atreus "under-water-wheel" joke, but _no one_ talks about how he JUST giggled at Atreus noting he couldn't be named after a god.
I like to think that if Artreus was a girl, Kratos would've named her after Pandora.
Mmm. Maybe. Definitely not Calyobe or whatever was his Daughter's name. The one he slaughter.

0:29-0:30 the only time I've heard Kratos laugh or chuckle WOW
Actually there's another time you can hear it when Atreus makes a pun out of a water wheel.
It's more of a scoff than a chuckle, his first real chuckle was actually when he figured out that mimir has been bewitched by freya
Leon Petrichiutto - I think he gives a “huh” when Mimir is teasing Atreus about dragon poo.
He laughs when he sees his daughter calliope in the elysium fields in CoO
Christopher Judge they did good with the voice actor and the story is something even Teal' C would tell
Story put a tear in my eye no 🧢
Literally the same brother, this clip reminds me to wear a smile in the worst of times, I tried to live like this and forgot it, but I was reminded once again by Atreus
3:02
*Has flashbacks from the battle of newyork*
this is one of the best stories from this entire game and its 2 minutes. it shows even when kratos wasnt compassionate he could witness it at all times. he almost wasnt able to with everything that happened in his life from his brother to him with his wife and daughter. atreus finally allows him that piece of him no one thought would be possible, ie Athena, and he knew that when his wife gave birth. that is why he was name atreus and i can almost bet kratos shared that with faye.
Thats great Kratos. Now tell us why you nicknamed him BOI???
Because he's a boy.
@@kratosthegodofwar2593 Well they are both not men Neither. If anybody forgot the Cutscene where he gives him the knife he made for him when he was ready.
In Spartan terms Atreus died the most glorious death any warrior could hope to achieve.
Both Atreus of Sparta and Atreus of Jotun/gard brought hope to Kratos in his darkest of days.
And throughout the time they had left Mimir with Brok and Sindri, Freya came along and asked him where the last place he saw her Valkyrie wings back, to reclaim her Warrior Spirit. "It seems the Cycle of Vengeance isn't so easily broken."
This is my fav moment in the game, chills every time🔥
If they ever want to do a spinoff game, they should definitely do one based off of Atreus of Sparta.
This story makes me cry
Aterus:" so , why would you want to name me Atreus . i know it can't be for a god" .
Kratos: "huh no . he was a soldier , a spartan" .
Atreus:"A great warrior?".
Kratos:"All spartans are great warriors. we train from birth . our lives was disciplin , duty , battle and death. life was grim and we greeted it grimly. But Atreus of Sparta was unlike the rest of us . He wore a smile even in the worst of times , he was happy . he inspired us to hope . That though we were machines of war , there was humanity in us , goodness. When the day came for him to lay down his life in battle , his sacrifice saved countless others and turned the tide in our favore. I carried him home on his shield and buried him with all the honors of the spartan custom . his memory was a comfort in dark times.
"They took an uncomfortable amount of measurements, and then proceeded to argue about the weather!"
What were the measurements for? They were of course arguing about Fimbulwinter, but I'm guessing they're making him a body?
Jesus, that never struck me. Now that'd be epic.
Holy fuck you may be right, I never thought of that
Kratos cares great honor as Spartan
Holy crap the measurements thing was to reactivate the realm between realms in Ragnarok, GAWD DAMN these games have so much detail
I really like that Kratos names Atreus in honor of a fallen comrade who’s demeanor and attitude made him different among his fellow Spartans, but he was still a warrior to his dying breath.
Kratos is such a poetic speaker. Always has been honestly.
0:30 "Hah." HE LAUGHED Y'ALL. THIS TIME FOR REAL. HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT AS HE DID ON THE BOAT. THE MADLAD LAUGHED.
* 0:29
Who else starts crying when he hears this story?
"Finally, a story worth hearing..."
Kratos: *tells an emotional story about a close friend dying in war*
Atreus: “ha ha wow you finally told a good story 😃”
ALL HIS STORIES WERE ONLY LIKE ONE SENTENCE!!!
@@letmethink9414 it wasn’t that they were short, it’s that they sucked. Besides the metaphor of him and ares.
Totally want an Atreus of Sparta Cameo in the TV series this is one of my favorite scenes in the game hands down was fucking shocked how deep kratos got right there.
Who else gets chills from this?
Kratos (god of war 3)
"Hope is for the weak"
Kratos now:
National Kratos actually admired someone even after they died and that he named his son after him even greater honor
