@@mrchickenrocket1 It's more than that. It's also a callback to Krato's buried rage, because it's still very much a part of him, even after God of War 3.

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think they were gearing up for a Freya-centric spinoff game. She certainly ticks all the boxes for a God Of War fighting style.
I think she's following Kratos to Egypt. But I'd like to see an Atreus Spin-off more and/or a Norse Arc prequel before we head into Egypt especially since we spent so little time in the Norse Arc.

“No need to explain. Not to me, not for that.” Freya said this to Kratos when she was helping Atreus. Kratos repeated the line exactly word for word, which is a profound gesture showing that he’s returning the favor.
It is kind of interesting to see how Nidhogg is portrayed in this game. In the original myth (or what remained of it) the lindworm actually gnaws at the roots in Niflheim while simultaneously devouring the corpses that end up there. After Ragnarök, Nidhogg and its brood will build a new hall for themselves and, in the distant future, play a crucial role in the next Ragnarök.
@@Vulpecula-Enfield to be honest, I prefer the Nidhogg from the original myths. There he seems so much more horrifying and corrupted. A perfect candidate to initiate the next Ragnarok.
Kratos is one of the best characters never written .... I knew this Game would be a best of all time after i played the first GOD OF WAR .... They should really make a movie .
@@TheZeek011 First of thats actually the most stupid thing I've read in a long time. Second the reason you don't want a movie is they have to condense over 20 hours of story and character development into 2-3 hours. Hard pass.
I did too. Poor Nidhogg was just doing her job to protect Yggdrasil, but she unknowingly got roped into Odin’s schemes. I was really hoping we were going to be able to stop her without killing her, that didn’t happen though
yeah, for something that destroys the roots of the tree of all life, it sure its small. I know that they could not make it as big as the world serpent for gameplay reasons but the least they could had done was to make it as big or bigger that fenrir, not smaller.
10:25. I hate being an empath because I definitely resonated with Freya speaking on her anger. But perhaps she took that moment to see that kratos intentions wasn't to cause her anguish
You're not an empath, you're empathetic. The word "Empath" refers specifically to someone with pseudoscientific (read: not scientific but acting like it) or supernatural powers to feel precisely what others do. The very fact that you claim to be an empath resonating with a fictional character proves you are not, as all explanations of such a phenomena would require presence in a physical space. Freya doesn't have feelings, she's a scripted animation of a 3D model on a screen. The actor isn't feeling what she is, they're acting. Empathy and being empathetic is the ability to feel compassion, pity, or shared emotions when displayed by another, real or not. It's something everyone has. Nobody is special for being empathetic, though some are more than others. People who aren't are called sociopaths.
@@beastfromtheabyss I can name 10 monster that can eat Kratos in 5 secs. Funny part is... People keep saying how Powerful Kratos is. Or rather specifically against Freya. And I'm like... Are we talking about same Kratos that took about 100 slash to take 1 bar off a Boss' health while taking half a hit from a Boss and be dead already? LOLzzz. I get that Kratos have sheets of Powerful Being he have defeated. But Freya is too. She one of very few Vanirs that can fight. And few of them go against Thor & Odin and survived. More than that, she wasn't afraid of Kratos or Odin at all. Then talking about going after Odin at end of the game, she talked as if Thor didn't even exist which granted she can easily defeated Thor given Mimir statement. But the way she talked so casually as if Thor didn't exist at all, should've proved to you just how powerful she is. And entire Valkyrie revered her powers for it. Also when meeting Valkyrie first time, Mimir said "Valkyrie in corporal form? I can't think of more dangerous foe"... Hello, he lived through Thor & Odin. If he can't thin of a better foe, isn't proof that Valkyrie are stronger than Thor & Odin? And Freya is frigging Queen of them all. Even Sigrun admits on how powerful Freya is. Atreus admit that Freya is stronger than Odin and Mimir agreed. We have yet to see her in her True Powerful Forms. So at least give her some credits.
Nidhogg lives at the roots of Yggdrasil, Ratatoskr lives in the branches of Yggdrasil, but even though they both call Yggdrasil their home, they are destined to commit acts that will lead to their home being destroyed
How the fuck are the blades of chaos not in the realm between realms cause that head was cut at the base of the neck and the blades were in her forehead
NEVER thought we would see Nidhoggr in this game! Fun fact about him: Nidhoggr is the main inspiration behind Alduin in Skyrim!
Thats dope never knew

watching freya sprinting full speed at kratos yelling "FInally" was terrifying.

Thought she was gonna try and get us 😂. At that point I wouldn't hold back

"There is still a part of me that is angry... And it'll always be ANGRY"
"No need to explain. Not to me. Not for that"

It's a callback - that's the line Freya says to Kratos in GOW 4 when the kid gets sick and Kratos comes to her for help.
@@mrchickenrocket1 It's more than that. It's also a callback to Krato's buried rage, because it's still very much a part of him, even after God of War 3.
Back then, Kratos has experienced the very same from Olypian gods, and for more than just once.
It's the same things freya says to him when he tried to explain himself when he was going to retrieve the blade of chaos in Gow4 ;)

True, however. In the myths, Nidhogg is a male and has wings. He is also larger than this version and survives Ragnarok.

Though I'd want a movie out of it but whether it'll get good writers and directors who'll keep true to the content is getting more sparse.
