"There was once a chicken, who wished to cross a road."
"Ok...then what happened?"
"He did so."
"So why did he want to cross the road?"
"To get to the house of the whiny person."
"What..?"
"Knock knock."
"What?"
"Someone knocks on your door, what do you say, boy?"
"Uh.. who's there?"
"It is the chicken."
"the chicken who?"
"yes."

I just laughed so fuckin hard at this lmfao
@@Boricua4lifeAC Saaaameee, a I read it in kratos voice
And then the horse shout, Areeesssss! Destroy my enemies and my life is yours!!
Out
@@adamsatanaels9413 then the horse shouted "the gods of olympus have abandoned me. now there is no hope"
@@dennisnedry8126 Ooooooooowwwwwt
@@adamsatanaels9413 and the hunter said: " that night..... i was trying..... to make you..... a great... warrior"

"There once was a man named Zeus, who lived on a mountain."
"Ok... Then what happened?"
"He died"
Atreus: how did he die?
Kratos: You are not very observant
Atreus: "How did he die?"
Kratos: "That is another story. You may hear it when you're older. Much older."
You mean a man named ZOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSS
"There once was a man named Zeus, who lived on a mountain"
"Ok... Then what happened?"
"He saw a Goat on the road"
"And then everyone died. The end."
All Mimirs stories are to give context and lore about this new world
All Kratos stories are analogies, to teach Atreus something
and then there's atreus who's really all cheek and doesnt learn till he gets a good spanking
Kratos' horse story is really just a recap of the prologue to GoW 1.

"There once was an ugly Barnacle, he was so ugly everyone died. The end."
Thanks, u made my day
That didn't help at all
Why did I read this in Kratos' voice....
@@AsaCoCo_PH why wouldn't you.
what is a barnacle?
Hunter: “That night... I was trying to make you a great mare!”
Horse: “You succeeded.”
underrated comment
This is by far the best comment😂😂
Lmao
Kratos: "Your mother always spoke the truth"
Laufey when met kratos: "My name is Fey, just Fey, and I am 100% a normal human person"
Yeah right..😒
More like she held the truth instead of lying. Faye might be how she shortened her name like Chris.
Probably a pre-emptive measure against the Aesir, who were seeking her out
You know who starts conversations like that? A synth.
@@alistairwalker2850 yeah! Like if she had straight up went around telling everyone her name was Laufey it might've been easier to find her. It was also just a nickname, so she's not necessarily lying there
Atreus: “Got another story?”
Kratos: “Very well. Once, there was an angry Spartan. He was so angry that everyone died. The end.”
Kratos: expect for a hot and sexy goddess
"And then the Spartan moved to another land. Everyone there died too."
@@haddy106 *"Everyone there _will_ die too."
"That didn't help at all."
Is it just me, or was anyone else thinking of Kratos’s fight with Hermes during the tortoise and the hare?
That’s what the story is analogous to.
...something tells me the Hare couldn’t walk after that...
Daym, I forgot about that, thanks
House Hankins it's a double entendre. It's about the tortoise and the hare, but die-hard god of war fans can immediately place it back to that fight. as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure all of the stories are of kratos' adventures. The horse and the stag is about kratos selling his life to ares, thus the "it was not" at the end, there may be others, but I haven't played the other games in the while.
Yall dont know the tale of the rabbit and the tortoise? (Same as this one but with no hare). This is where it came from
“If you continue to interrupt, I will end the story.”
“Okay. Okay.”
TH-cam commercials: "and I took that personally"
I swear to Zeus I will turn this boat around.
Ok, maybe not Zeus.
This really made me laugh haha
@@renanferreira3314 I swear to me
Kratos tells 5 minutes of stories but Mimir tells half an hour worth of stories , 10/10 Kratos
I just realized that Kratos is older than Odin
@@hypnoticskull6342 omg that's right
@@hypnoticskull6342 alot think he's 150
EJM
He’s a lot older than that
@@hypnoticskull6342 well my evidence is limited at the moment. Who knows, maybe Corey will reveal him to be thousands of years old instead of hundreds. Maybe age is irrelevant.
The story of the horse, the stag and hunter is of Kratos, the barbarian and Ares. Kratos the horse, the Babarian the stag and Ares the hunter. Very cool
I'm glad you caught that, i thought it was great they did that.
and the saddle is the chains
Or was Kratos, ares and Zeus?
Bonesjuones melo who's the barbarian?
@@larrypoppins6273 Early on in the God of War timeline (not Kratos's childhood early, but when he still had a family in Sparta,) Kratos was waging a campaign of conquest to spread the glory of Sparta. This campaign met with resistance from a barbarian army, and Kratos came face to face with a barbarian general. This general disarmed him, and was about to finish Kratos off, but Kratos appealed to Ares for aid, offering his life in service to the god of war in exchange for the destruction of his enemy. Ares accepted these terms, re-arming Kratos and thus allowing him to decapitate the barbarian general, but as the story in question indicates, it came at a great cost.
Wait... the thief story.... I wonder if that’s symbolic for Baldur and Freya
noticed it today Jan 15th, 2019
The reverse is also true of kratos and atreus. A child who receives nothing but discipline will also grow up damaged, unsympathetic, and angry at their parents.
@Diamond Bourne Kinda is true, actually. There's a happy medium to be reached.
AngelicusEXperiment exactly and i think thats the medium kratos is trying to reach with atreus
@@Vesperitis Agree. it should be both love and discipline
I halfway expected Kratos to say "There once was a man from Peru, Who dreamt he was eating his shoe. He woke up in a fright, in the middle of the night, to find that his dream had come true."
😂😂
Atreus: so, the lesson is: don't confuse your dreams with reality?
chatotalks I’m from peru... jut thought it was funny don’t mind me
god damn it XD
I dont get it
Atreus: Dad. Can you tell me a story?
Kratos: fine. Listen carefully.
In the first age, in the first battle, one stood...
LOL
When the shadows first lengthened, one stood. He chose the path of perpetual torment...
And those who taste the bite of his sword name him...
@@bosscraftx8507 The Doom Slayer
Maybe Kratos is the Doom Slayer's super old and cool god grandpa
Atreus:got another story?
Kratos : there once was a god who killed a bunch of other gods and then bled all the way to another land, had children and said BOY a lot.
Super underrated
Lol
Lol
Atreus: that's sound familiar. Was the god bald and crumpy and angry all the time?
@@quocbinh6674 kratos: [Grunts]
Kratos voice is so soothing that he could make a great story teller
Your profile picture looks alot like me.
Are we twins?!?!!
Why does the character in the profile picture look familiar
I want him to read me a bedtime story
Id pay him to say....Questionable things xD
I cant get over how he was in sg1 !
Atreus: Want to try another story?
Kratos: Fine, listen carefully. There was once a man inside a tavern. Three men walked up to him. The man had slain the three men with only a quill.
And then he became excommunicado
I see were you got that John wick reference good one
Double quill! Triple quill!
@@llamathecooldude691 now thats a good joke
Kratos: With a FFFFFUCKIN' quill!
Atreus: Hope it was worth it.
Kratos: It was not.
Atreus: So what happens next?
Kratos: The horse screams out “AREEEEEEEES”
Atreus: "How about another story?"
Kratos: "Very well. Once there was a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe........"
Kinda late but, is this referrence to Narnia?
Very nice, Ptilopsis-chan
Do not chant deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.
and the audacity of this bitch
there once was a man who lives in a fruit under the sea
When the frog was stinged and he was dying , he said "You will pay for this Zeus , be certain of that."
I was wondering what that was referencing. Good catch
Nice one
I like that Atreus thinks his fathers stories are too simple or straightforward, yet he keeps asking for more.
It's one of his very few ways of directly bonding with his dad, so it's understandable why he does so
My favorite one is when Atreus tells the "underwater wheel" joke and Kratos laughs but adamantly denies it when Atreus calls him out on it.
I didn't know Kratos was a fan of Aesop. These stories are from a Greek philosopher named Aesop. His stories are beautiful and meaningful that a lot of people should learn from. These days, it seems people have forgotten his kind of lessons.
They're also directly connected to previous games. The horse, the hunter and the stag was him directly pulling from his own deal with Ares, for example.
@@kylestanley7843 Indeed
All Greek people are like this ig
Kindergarten gave me an irrational fear of Aesop
"These days". You seem to forget that children learn from their parents. Those parents give their awful ways of teaching to their children and their children pass 'em on the next generation, creating a cycle of the same bs until the cycle breaks, but those inter-generational traumas are hard to break and leave the people within it devastated.
"Have you ever heard of the Greek gods boy"
"No, father"
*"Exactly"*
My mom's told me the one about the thief and his mother! I don't know if it's a common story but it was crazy to hear it almost the exact same way as I remember.
That's pretty cool!
Radicool21 haha lol same my mother told me this story to but instead of the ear she told me lips
what is the story?
Moral of the story, don’t be a greedy shithead
My father told me the horse and hunter story
He said it exactly like kratos,
My father is white and bald
The hunter and the stag, the father frog and son frog, and the mother and the thief. Three of the best direct reflections to the characters and the game.
1 Kratos past
2 Kratos and his son (who is mostly listening to him)
3 Freyja and Baldur.
no its all about kratos past if u play all the game from gow 1 in ps2 until 3
Don’t forget about the tortoise and the hare. It’s a reference to Hermès and Kratos fight.
Hermès immature behavior is what got him killed because Kratos was calm and disciplined.
@@andytorres6052 Calm??? Where did you see that?
@@SomeAngryGuy1997 You know, when Hermes was bitching and Kratos calmly looked at his shoes like, "I'm taking those". He looked pretty casual to me
Atreus: "So getting revenge cost him his freedom." "Hope it was worth it."
Kratos: "It was not..."
This is one of the most impactful scenes in my opinion because this is Kratos indirectly telling Atreus some of his past, and him making it into a story and telling Atreus and US that it was not worth it. I find that interesting.
Says it wasn’t worth it to his son ! Still ruthless as fuck 😎
You must be pretty dumb to feel smart about putting 2 and 2 together lmao
@@eyeofsauron7662 no need in any insults. He found it interesting, nothing more.
Many of Kratos's stories are references to things that have or will happen.
- "The Horse and the Stag" references how Kratos's deal to get revenge cost him his freedom
- "The Frogs and the Dried Pond" is a reference to how Atreus began to descend into madness when he learned he was a god, but his father's wisdom prevents it and ultimately nothing happens.
- "The Thief and his Mother" is a reference to when Freya's unconditional love for her son was the cause of both his wicked behavior, misfortune, and his eventual death
- "The Mother Crab Scolding her Son" is like when Kratos scolds Atreus when Kratos did and still kinda does everything he gets mad at Atreus for. Atreus was so quick to figure out the end of the story because he sympathizes with the son crab.
- "The Woodsman and the Trees" is probably a reference to how the greek gods dismissed Kratos, who then returned and killed them all.
- "The scorpion and the Frog" is pretty straightforward. Maybe it references a specific god killing someone and dying but probably best to just interpret this as the 'gods are evil in general' story.
Scorpion story might be about when kratos dove into hell with Icarus and ripped his wings off without a second thought.
"Got another story?"
"There was once a good boy, who were thinking he is mortal. But one day he finds out he is god and immediately turn into a douche."
"..."
"This boy is me, isnt?"
"Yes."
...seanzoz...
@@shayaneshghi467 Uh, i see you are man of culture as well
Yo when I was younger, my dad used to tell me those exact kind of stories in the same way whenever I was being an idiot and when I'd call him out on it, he'd be like 'nooo, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about someone else,' lool
Yes Boi...
Atreus: Father, tell me a funny story
Kratos: there once was a alchemist who turned himself into a pickle.
Funniest shit I have ever seen.
Atreus: I, uh... I don’t get it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
" Your mother always spoke the truth..."
I wish we could've met the woman Kratos chose to love.
This time around, obviously.
she'll always be in kratos memory, and in kratos heart, and in kratos arms-
Atraeus roasting Kratos' storytelling abilities is a lot funnier in light of the Big Spoiler at the end
Clearly hearing all of those stories inspired him to do better.
this might be a guess but *"I's the Frog and the scorpion story"* an analog too Zeus betraying kratos on GoW2 by stabbing him with the blade of Olympus, an later Kratos "drags" Zeus down along with the other gods too their deaths.
Someone said it is Kratos and the Titans. Kratos was the frog who helped the Titans fight the gods at the beginning of GOW3, but when shit went loose and they began to fall, Gaia didnt helps Kratos and only led him to fall to the underworld.
it’s actually an old folk lore, but instead of a frog it’s a fox
Atreus: So, got another story?
Kratos: Very well, there was once a Sea Captain...
;-P
Never forgeti, rest in spageti
Rip to him
well let me correct myself... there was thrice a sea captain
"He always comes back boi"
You can find his ship somewhere in the game
Chris Judge was such a great choice to take over doing the voice. I kind of view it like a "What if Teal'c was an angry Greek guy" game, and it amuses the shit out of me.
DashCat9 fairly certain, some of the go’aul who kept him as slave was Greek gods
Atreus : “How about another story?”
Kratos: “Very well. In a distant world, in time immemorial. There was a young boy who lived in the desert with his aunt and uncle. He was attacked one day, but recused by an old man, who informed the boy about his father and his connection to a sect of holy warriors, as well as their fall from betrayal. After receiving a message from a princess begging for help, he returned home to find his family killed by an all controlling army. Together, the boy, old man, mechanical servants, a traveler and his companion went to a manmade moon capable of obliterating worlds to rescue this princess, only to lose the old man to a dark lord. The princess took them to a rebellion fighting against the empire, and destroyed the moon, receiving honors for their victory.”
The Hunter: Ares
The Horse: Kratos
The Stag: The barbaric enemy

@@Greg-ku7rn Gotta love how although Kratos stories seem boring and brief compared to Mimirs, they are very important life lessons that happen all the time all around them
@@Greg-ku7rn Last story seems like zeus betraying kratos after killing the "statue of liberty" idk what its called so imma call it that
And the hare and the tortoise is about Kratos and Hermes
@@MK-fz6il GOW3: Fantastic/Epic game 🙏🏾
The stag and the horse story though... 💀
Kratos: There was once a spider, who crawled up a water spout, but it began to rain and the spider died.
Atreus: Is that it?
Kratos: Yes.
What an epic game
Complete change for the series but executed perfectly
Long live kratos and atreus
Atreus: " You got any stories?"
Kratos: "Very well. There was once this man who had transformed himself into a fermented vegetable. It was the most humorous thing that I have ever seen."
Pickle Rick lol
Mimir: I don’t know the one about two rocks being identical was funnier
Atreus: How about a funny story?
Kratos: Fine. There once was a boat captain...
This is the best one here
I like the story of the father frog and son frog. For me it's an analogy to Krato's and Atreus relationship in the beginning of the game. The father frog (Kratos) tries to protect his son from everything, but in doing so he denies his son the chance to grow (to create his own story).
“How about another story? Can you make it a long one this time though?”
“Very well. A long time ago, I’m a galaxy far far away..”
The hunter and the horse story is the story about Kratos and Aries. Kratos is the horse, and Aries is the hunter.
Kratos chose revenge, but it cost him his freedom and his family.
Atreus: "He chose revenge over freedom. Hope it was worth it."
Kratos: "It was not..." :(
:Kratos: It left really uncomfortable chain marks that really messes with your OCD
I thought it was Gaia for some reason
Ares*
I think Ares is the Stag. And the Hunter is Zeus.

I do like how all of these have some sort of values or are at least an attempt to reach his son.
The horse of sparta lmao
Atreaus: Got any more stories?
Kratos: There was once a man, with a spade of steel, he fought with this spade agaisnt a god and despite all his hardships....he won
Atreaus: seems strange father, i mean a Spade?
Kratos: Yes it was quite.....odd..
If only they had given us that kind of easter egg
Who did Kratos kill with a shovel?
Shovel Knight babyyy
@@PaGie DUDE! I just found out that this is canon, confirmed by Cory... I guess I'll have to play that Shovel Knight game
I love how the stories reflect kratos past, and the lessons he wants to teach atreus, in order for atreus not repeat his steps.
The game was supposed to be a soft reboot, but there is so much meaning everywhere, that people that did not played previous games would miss
2:10 i feel like kratos was saying here " listen here you little shit"
The stories are nuts I love them but lmao so depressing sometimes. I think it's funny as hell you did a video for this high five bro loved it liked it!!
hah they are great huh. Thanks man! Got a couple of other ones like this i'll be publishing soon.
Kratos' second story hits hard, especially when he says, "It was not."
0:52 why do i feel the horse was kratos and the hunter was ares
"why would he do that?"
"He's a scorpion"
For anyone having some time to spare:
The first story is that of Αισωπος(Aisopus,a wise man from Greece),who created many myths and short stories to give lessons to the smallest ones,by single examples of nature itself.Id recommend to anyone to search for his stories,they are really entertaining and you learn quite a lot.Cheers!
3:56 that story was actually interesting 💕
It’s an actual fable
:Atreus: Know any good stories?
:Kratos: Very well. I will tell you a story all about how my whole life got turned upside down, just wait a minute, sit right there, I’m gonna tell you about how I came the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. In west Philadelphia born and raised, in the playground is where spent most of my days, chilling out, maxin, acting all cool, shooting some b ball outside the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood, I gotten one little fight my mom got scared and said alright, you’re gonna life with your aunt and uncle in Bel Air
:Atreus: ...
Wow lmao
I read that in Kratos's voice
😂😂😂😂
2:15 The son that bit his loving mother's ear off is foreshadowing to Freya and Baldur.
4:06 lol, said the scorpion, lmao
Boy: Tell me a story!
Kratos: There once was a boy on a boat, who talked to much, and drown.
Boy: ....Nevermind
The horse story represents the origin of Kratos
The thief story represents Baldur and Fryea. Her blind love for his son eventually spoiled him
The Crab story reprsents Kratos and Atreus. Like the mother crab in his story, Kratos wants Atreus to live like a man, and not eaten by anger of himself.
But it is impossible for his father to show his son how to live that way as well as the mother crab can't show her son how to walk forward.
Thanks, the person I've been watching docks before they finish
No problem!
Will you posting anymore of these? After you get Mimir's Head?
I'm working on one for Mimir, just have a ton of footage to go through to find it all.
Thanks :)
Just uploaded all of Mimir's boat stories and also uploaded Mimir's Valkyrie's tales yesterday!
"There was once an ant looking upon a river, wishing to get across but no way pass in sight. The ant saw a butterfly, mocking the ant of its lack of wings and telling the ant to give up and turn back. But the ant didn't have any intention to turn back, so he leaped onto the butterfly and torn off it's wings and used them to glide across, the butterfly was left the die."
Kratos stealing Icarus' wings in GoW 2!
That actually sounds like a story Kratos would tell to Atreus...
Some of these are asops fables
But wayyyyyyyy darker
Appropriate, since he’s Greek.
Well, they did meet along the way.
The horse and hunter story is just Kratos' life.
Atreus: That sounds... fun?
Kratos: Fun?! I was never fun! You take that back!
I understood that reference
He should have told the story of his fight with Hermes.
Kratos: Once upon a time there was a god who would not shut up................
Hare and the tortoise
:Kratos: A buff angry guy cut his legs off as punishment
The hare and the tortoise is a reference to that fight.
1:20 Wise words from Atreus. That spells everything about walking the path of Vengeance. There is always a price.
I tried really hard to get more Kratos stories but never could. I’m glad you did!
Ok, so I get the *"horse and hunter"* story is analog to the deal with Ares;
*"Tortoise and the hare"* is the fight against Hermes;
*"Frog and scorpion"* is the treason of Zeus at the begining of GoW2 (or maybe Athena, since she promised him 'to be rewarded', which Kratos understood as to get rid of the nightmares, and in the end they both fell an drown in a way);
*"Trees and the axe"* could probably be Pandora's box? The axe being hope, the old trees the olimpus and the sapling the box? Im not sure about that one cause kratos didn't ask for the box, he just asked for his nightmares to go away, but I cant build from that to the analogy.
*"The frogs and the well"* could be about them in Hel...but that would be prediction instead of Kratos talking about his past...
Same problem with *"the thief and his mother"* , could fit with Baldur, but that happens later..and the ear thing sounds oddly specific...(maybe it's just from the original tale, I didn't know that one before, but anyway I feel like it could mean something more that just "hurt").
Any clue about what those could mean?
Edit: and about the crab one?
The crab story represents Kratos trying to raise Atreus to be a good man (forward walking), even though they are both gods, which he believes are always evil (sideways walking). Kratos knows that he will never escape his own past, but he hopes that he can teach Atreus to resist his nature.
@@joshuahettinger9287 I like that idea
@@joshuahettinger9287 I always thought that the crab story was a dad joke lmao
I thought the tree and woodsman one was about kratos (woodsman) getting the blades of chaos (sapling) and then coming back to chop down the rest of the trees (Olympian gods). It kinda makes sense but that one is tougher
The frogs and the well story happens after a set number of times in the boat. So if you wait to make Kratos tell that story until after they go to Hel, it makes more sense
Atraeus: "Do you have another story?"
Kratos: "A Serpent Guard, a Horus Guard, and a Setesh Guard..."
0:30 is when he fought Hermes. Hermes is fast but cocky while Kratos is steady. Well, you know the rest.
0:53 is when he made a deal with Ares to help him destroy the barbarians. Well, you know the rest.
I think the story about the Frog and his son might indicate where Atreus's recklessness might lead him
Yeah 🤔 the mom and the son story is kinda like in "south park" where Eric's mom is too nice and too caring to his son and he becomes total jerk with no discipline, but not a messed up way like in the story.
Now you mention it, I can see the similarity. :D
Dude, Cartman is FAR worse than the son is
Atreus: Do you know any limmericks, father?
Kratos: Just one: There once was a man from Nantucket....
"Ever heard the story of the Trojan Horse Boy?"
"No... another horse story?"
"Yes, but this horse was a wooden construct built by my people for the Trojans to take into their city. After 10 long years of war."
"So, like a gift? To end the bloodshed and find a peaceful resolution?"
"Yes... in a way."
"Father, do you have any othe stories?"
"Very well. A serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's... nose drips."
Atreus: how about one more story?
Kratos: *Very Well*
Atreus: Got any other stories?
Kratos: Very well... In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
The story of the horse and the warrior was totally worth hearing after playing all the past God of War games just for this game
3:15 love awkward kratos
Atreus: Do you know any other story?
Kratos: A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…
-There was once a knight with a shovel.
-So?
-He kicked my *** with a shovel.
Atreus: So, what other stories have you got?
Kratos: *In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, One stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of hell and tainted beyond ascension. He chose the path, of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those who tasted the bite of his sword named him...The Doom Slayer.*
I've played this through 3 or 4 times and never heard almost all of these. Wild the detail they put in. GoW is the greatest ever through and through.
Atreus: Tell me a story Father
Kratos: ''There was once a horse that walked into a bar'' he ordered his drink and left''
The story of the two frogs and the well felt like a story about the Underworld.
All the guys that keep saying that Kratos' stories are Aesop's fables...
Listen to this again: @ 0:11
I think he means Aesop by that! I mean... throughout his adventures Kratos met all kinds of famous people (alongside all kinds of gods) Midas, Dadalus, Icarus, Theseus... I guess this here means that at some point, maybe in his youth, Kratos has met Aesop himself!
'But her son met him in rage, and bit off his ear.'
'Why?'
'Because he was Mike Tyson, boy.'
Man this game got layers, every story is a metaphor for another event ♥️
All of Kratos' stories speak about those associated with the game. (spoilers down below)
The tortoise and the hare- The player. Stay steady and disciplined, and you will win the game despite all the setbacks.
The horse and the stag- Kratos' origin story. He sacrificed his soul to Ares in order to crush his enemies, thus beginning the series.
The frog and his son- Kratos and Atreus. Through out the story, the two are separated from their home. Kratos tries to keep Atreus focused and disciplined through out the game, protecting him from his own inexperience of the world around him.
The thief and his mother- Baldur and Freya. She did nothing but love her son and used a spell to protect him. Baldur has had nothing but hate and contempt for her ever since.
Mother crab and son- Kratos and Atreus again. This is represented by Kratos trying to train Atreus and setting a bad example due to his own failings. This all comes to a head when Atreus kills Modi and quotes 'we can do whatever we want' in a similar fashion to what Kratos said at the beginning of the game. His decision to keep secrets from his son came back to haunt him as Atreus rebels.
The woodsman and the trees- Kratos and Baldur. Kratos wanted to be left alone but Odin sent Baldur as a proxy to find a way to Jotenheim. This marks the beginning of Kratos' eventual destiny to slay the Norse gods. Magni himself was eventually slain by Kratos' axe.
The scorpion and the frog- Odin and Freya. Odin wanted to learn Vanir magic and married Freya at Mirmir's suggestion. When she broke it off by seeing his true nature, he betrayed her by leaving her practically defenseless thanks to her own magics. Odin betrays anyone and everyone for his benefit, which may eventually be his undoing.
Amazing gaming my friend🙂
thanks buddy!
Kratos: Teaches Lessons…
Mimir: Teaches History…
Kratos gets notably better at telling stories (and connecting with Atreus in general) throughout the course of the game and I love it.
4:39 Every racist uncle ever lol.
It’s true tho, at least in the sense that that’s literally the point of the fable kratos is telling, which is an irl story
2:47 “her ear, that’s not right”.... Mike Tyson confirmed final boss of god of war 2
0:23 The Tortoise and The Hare
0:52 The Horse
1:33 The Frog and The Well
2:17 The Thief’s Mother
2:59 The Mother Crab
3:28 The Woodsman
3:59 The Frog and The Scorpion
I love how all the stories reference so much in the actual game(s) but I guess that's what made those lessons and stories so powerful right?
As the game progresses, kratos gets somewhat better at telling stories.
