Godly edited
Oh would love for you to add Odin there he is the best villain ive seen in a game in years.
This looks like an trailer an AMAZING trailer good job bro
Your effort and passion is clear as day. Amazing work on this. I’ve rewatched it about 30 times in 2 days. The music brings it all together. More more more!!
Goosebumps from the man who was betrayed and chose Vengeance on the gods, to a man who has learned how to be calm, wise and better than those before him. A redemption well earned
@@bigdawgc you can't be calm and depressed at the same time. Calm is peace, depression isn't.
He became a calm and someehat reasonable person

@@SimonPetrikov12You can most definitely be calm and depressed at the same time. The antonym of calm is violence. You do not have to be happy to not be violent you little fool
20 years for a redemption arc. He finally got it. Well deserved Kratos, The New All-Father, the God Of Redemption.
Edit: Holy. You guys went crazy against me. I may be wrong about the God Of Redemption, so let me refrase it: the reformed God of War. But the new All-Father part I'm kinda right. All-Father means "A supreme being; a god who rules over all others", which basically happens at the end.
Kratos again proved that he is ULTIMATE BEAST, capable of anything, even change himself
Time to fight Buddha for enlightenment
He’s not the new all father, the ending only shows that he is finally respected and looked up to as a good god, instead of being seen as the god killer or as many theorized ragnarok it’s self
He is indeed a better man and a better God, but he is far from redemption after all he did.
*A Monster no More, The God of Strength, and Protector of the Nine Realms*
"No more. For the sake of our children. We must be better."
- Kratos 2022
And we shall respond saying “we WILL be better”
Atreus: I’m sorry father
Kratos: Do not be sorry. Be better.
Kratos: Atreus, I am sorry
Atreus: don’t be sorry father, be better.
Kratos got woke
@@ChrisAssassinGamerand he's going to go broke
“You will die, Kratos of Sparta”
It’s sad to hear this line but also nice. I know this guy who has been through so much in his life. He has the worst PTSD i’ve ever seen. I asked him what was the one thing he wanted. He said “I want to sleep.” I knew what he meant. People with PTSD truly are never at peace. It’s sad to hear that Kratos will die, but in the end, it’s good to know that he will finally have peace.
Kratos of sparta died though... He is not who he once was by the end of Ragnarök.
He did die; and was born again.
Kratos of Sparta did die. The man that was born anew, wasn't "Kratos of Sparta" anymore.
If you remember kratos once said:
Death can have me when it earns me
Finally tribute where Kratos in his default armor.
True masterpiece
Yea that’s always bothered me in other videos just for consistency and immersion sake
Fun fact: The default armour if maxed out, doesn’t have any perks like the Raven Tear armour but is the only armour that increases all base attributes and gains a sick black and gold colour scheme
@@cjay20 is it usable for end game tho
@@dragonk5543 Very much. It is xurrently the armor i am using at Give me mercy difficulty in the musphelhiem trials
@@cjay20 I just maxed it out. Well I maxed out the waist, but I’m about to go get the embers to max it out for Ragnarok. It’s such badass armor. Some of the other armor is cool, but that original armor is perfect. Plus it was the best way to get 170 VIT for the health regen perk on the amulet. God I love this game.
His prophecy made me tear up, he finally got the redemption that was long overdue
His reaction was mine. Just the pure joy and happiness that even Kratos could change and be something never thought possible. And he earned it
i cried at the ending loki will go atreus remains and then u can see he earned what he wanted he finallly found peace he reaised a good son he became the real god of war
It's painted over by Angraboda, so I wouldn't take it for granted, but definitely look up to such a thing cuz he earned it
@@jasonnewbery his self-doubt is even woven into the lyrics of his theme, those lyrics being "ég hef enga (aflausn)" which basically means "I don't get a redemption"
The God of Creation
My favourite lines in GoW are "you've come a long way from when I first met you brother" to which Kratos replies "I've had good councel since then brother" and it works especially well here, the music really adds to it.
One of my favorite things about Ragnarok was how Kratos considered Mimir to be a part of the family, he really thought of him as a brother.
In the lore book, Kratos says something along the lines of: “I have met few worthy I would call friend, let alone my brother” it shows how important Mimi’s was, and how without him, Atreus and kratos would become the very thing they swore to never be.
4:55 is my favorite part
There will NEVER be a playstation icon on the same level as Kratos now or ever
"Death can have me when it earns me"~Kratos
Its only a game they said. This is not just any game. Its a masterpiece.
Was just about to say the same thing😂😂
its not just a masterpiece it is some thing that cannot be expressed through words
It’s a work of art. Should have won GOTY. No one was ready for the depths of emotion in this game. The amount of people who identified with is Kratos is astounding. Myself included. Because if Kratos, I chose to be better. I let go of my anger and rage and looked deep into myself, as Kratos did the same. This game will never leave my console.
It’s an experience, a journey..
"Don't be sorry, be better"
I think this is going to stick with me for the rest of my life. It might just be a video game, but this message is literally what living is. You can fail and you can regret that is natural, but at the end of day, you should always strive to learn and grow and adapt and accept and finally, forgive and move on. No matter what. We can always be better.
The one that I like even more than that one is one of Faye’s. She says that we are not our failures, that we are not who we were, and that we must be better.
Sometimes we can get caught up in our mistakes. Never forgive ourselves. Never give ourselves the chance to redeem our mistakes. Faye was many things and one of them was being wise.
Truly words full of truth and wisdom. We can always be a better person than yesterday
Not ,,just” a video game
"There is ALWAYS a choice!!"
The You yesterday is different than the You today
My favourite line from the game is “if you don’t want him to walk away from you, then smarten up and walk with him awhile.”
" The most Badass and Legendary character in the history of console games ever ". 💀🔥🔥💀
I wont lie. When I saw that last mural of Kratos becoming a loved God I cried a little. Because he proved that someone like him can change. That those who have lost their way can be better people. I identified heavily with that.
facts
same bruv, kratos is truly him
I have a genuine doubt, was that mural indicates that people now praise kratos as a god ? I'm little confused
Most people: this scene is actually quite beautiful
Me watching the scene: suck it, Zeus!
@@jeremyallen5974 and odin as well
As a father to a young child, there is just something so gut wrenching during this dialogue:
We follow your every whim
But you still don’t believe any of it!
And still I follow!
That’s the definition of love.
I've been repeeting this one for almost half an hour! Its a masterpiece!
Amen brother
Bro!
❤❤11❤
He has no more family, no more homeworld, Atreus is all he’s got left. Without him then he would just be empty shell.
Kratos shows that no one is beyond redemption, we can all improve no matter how big our mistakes
3:21 *"Kratos. The Ghost of Sparta."*
SHE SAID IT! SHE SAID THE TITLE!
“We must be better” I’m glad he finally smiled when Atreus said it back, it made me shed a tear through that father and son moment.
❤❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😅😅😊😊
The part where it transitions between Kratos' perspective of fighting Zeus in GOW3 at 5:18, and what he saw in GOW 2018, was genius.
It really paints it as GOW3 being Kratos' biased viewpoint and the torture in Helheim was to see that he was a monster beating a begging man who was his father.
@@PoeticElysium Hades NO , Zeus deserve every single hit Kratos gave to him , the literary bastard deserve to have his skull bashed in as he screwed over almost everyone he met (both figuratively and literary) and stabbed kratos with a huge sword the size of a man ,Zeus deserve all off of it
@@PoeticElysium a begging man who's responsible for everything he endured GOW2 and onward
@@jetstreamsam99 fear played a huge part. The novels imply that he would not have killed krstos if it wasn't for paronia and fear.
Played all the games . When I finished Ragnorok and saw the ending , I whispered to myself : well done Kratos well done
"Kratos The Ghost Off Sparta","Bringer Off War","It Is Time My Son,Look Around At what You have Done".There He Is,There's The God Off War,I Am Your Monster No Longer","Today Son We Will Be Better"
"Kratos - I have tried to walk this path with you..
Artreus - But you don't believe in any of it ...
Kratos - And still I follow!
I cried here
Kratos suffered many things in his lifetime. Loss of his wives, his daughter, his brother, even himself. He became a monster because that is what he was born for. Now he’s finally acquired wisdom to see that he can’t escape his past. To be “Better” he had to accept himself, what he did and show his son that being better means to be brave enough to realize that mistakes happen, what matters is what you do to fix them
Don’t forget his mother that after telling him whom his father was his father turned her into a monster to which he then had to kill only for her to after die in his arms
It's interesting to remember that this isn't even the first time Kratos sought redemption
The entire story arc between GoW: Ascension and GoW 1 is Kratos seeking redemption for his sins during his service to Ares through service to the rest of the gods.
He frees himself from the Furies, saves Olympus from Persephone, Morpheus and Atlas, and defeats Ares before he can usurp Zeus.
He does all this thinking that the gods can redeem him and free him from his past. But the best they do is arbitrarily "forgive" him and grant him a throne he despises on Olympus while refusing to give him the absolution he seeks.
It's in Ghost of Sparta that Kratos realizes that the game was rigged against him from the start. That all the Olympians were just as cruel, depraved and evil as Ares, they were just better at hiding it. The final straw really was the opening in GoW 2 where after Zeus's betrayal, Kratos clearly snaps. All the nightmares that were slowly driving him mad, the injustice Zeus inflicted against his mother and brother, the refusal of the gods to full absolve him of the sins of a life they forced him into. All of that finally comes to a head and Kratos finally gives up on ever seeking redemption and embraces the monster that the gods turned him into.
That's what makes GoW 2018 and Ragnarok so great I think. This isn't just Kratos trying to seek redemption from his sins. It's Kratos resolving to give redemption another try. But this time, instead of relying on the judgment of cruel and fickle gods, he seeks absolution from within himself by actually trying to be a better person.
“We are not our failures, we are not who we were.” As a man who has come from what he was, what a line.
“Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta.” Just gave me chills and additional chills before and after
3:14 That transition from Thor grabbing Kratos and flying into the air to Baldur & Kratos fighting was smooth as hell... Overall, a fantastic video.
That was COLD
it was so smooth I didn't notice till I read your comment
A warrior like no other. A hero like no other. A man like no other. A God like no other. A friend like no other. A husband like no other. A father like no other. Kratos truly a character like no other in gaming. A true warrior in the eyes of the players. Despite all the pain and loss he never gave up hope that he could truly be better. Something we all should strive for. Pandora said it best “hope is what makes us strong, it’s why we are here, it’s all we have left when all is lost”.
Girl: it's just a video game
Men: don't be sorry, be better
I’ve been playing the god of war series since I was 4 years old (literally) I’m nearly 17 years old now and this is still the best video game series to ever exists. My father is the human version of Kratos in every way possible from his past to present day. Every time i look at Kratos I see my farther in him and that’s why he is one of my favourite characters to ever exist. Sorry for the rant but I had to write this…
"every road I take leads back to vengeance." First off, this is a masterpiece of both games. Seeing Kratos's character develop along with Atreus is so moving im touched deeply by the whole journey to be better
He is the best protagonist who went through more pain than anyone else has.
Him looking at the final Jötnar Shrine and seeing what he could've been... Is painful, yet fulfilling.
Nah the mural is showing him a path to become a well loved and worshipped god, one that he could’ve never imagined
The mural is showing him what he will become. What will happen.
and then you find Guts, the Black Swordsman
@@ONGKEYTVlol that was literally the first and only person to come to mind, but kratos still had it rough af
@xgenosx xgenx or maybe dung defender he's shockingly tragic
There's also that one....really big dog
That has a sword in it mouth
I don't remember it's name but it was apparently really saf
Kratos reminds me of Thors from Vinland Saga. Just tired of fighting.
when they said “bringer of war” showing god of war 2 kratos goosebumps
Flawless work, got me goosebumps from watching this.
Thank you!
3:14 Damn that transition between the fights was spot on!
"Do not be sorry, be better" goes so fucking hard
Bro this edit has such beautiful transitions. "You are not ready" to "I was the one who wasn't ready". This actually made me shed a tear. Keep up the great work
Incredible work as always my friend! Though this is special. I can feel you passion for the character shining through the entire video!
Thank you so much, my friend ❤
@@Daddynegan a little late but I'd love to do an edit something like this maybe for a different character or like a kratos timeline, do you remember what music you used, if u do please tell me and tysm
I've seen many tributes to Kratos........
This is the first to leave me speechless. Excellent work!
The fact that games teach us life more than our elders is just more beautiful
At least gow got Faye’s design right and accurate to the myths
Kratos' life can be described as nothing other than a tragedy, he was beaten down mentally and physically until he was able to fight back, and then when he was done with his vengeance, he was empty. He had nothing left. He thought of himself only as a monster and a killer. For possibly thousands of years, until Faye put the final "nail in the coffin" on the god of war, and only Kratos remained. A broken and battered old man, but a broken and battered old man who had something to live for.
Wow. I’ve played every game since PS2. From growing up in a broken home, to anger and unanswered questions and bitterness as a teen and young man, to now as an Army veteran, Kratos and the GOW saga has helped me thru my darkest and toughest times, even still to this day as I grow older and wiser just like him. He deserves it all. This is the best Kratos video on TH-cam hands down. Good freaking job. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for him and Atreus in the near future!
thats crazy ass life that kratos lived with you🤞
If you liked this check out KRATOS GOD OF WAR by concept JRS
Started Playing when I was young full of rage and playing now as a father of a child all calmed down and connecting with Kratos and his mindset....what a masterpiece for GOW fans ...not just a game but a journey....kudos to this content creator
Kratos is the culmination of what it means when a God finds and lives for his humanity. No longer shackled by the “Chains of Olympus” his journey is one of self discovery and self awareness, it’s something that we can all relate to and I am thankful to have been here since day 1 for this amazing story.
From god of war, to god killer, to god of hope. Truly amazing journey. I would be more than satisfaied if this was an ending to Kratos's story
love how every saga has a theme in it: The greek one is a tragic story of a broken demigod seeking revenge and redemption and the norse being about him accepting his past and having a life-changing journey with his son.
Just a flicker I never noticed, at 7:43 when the troll attacks, without hesitation he shoves his arm into its mouth so that it can't bite at Atreus. Best dad ever.
5:31 watched this video loads of times but never noticed how brutal those punches were
This edit alone deserves an oscar
Gave me chills I can't even describe!
This... this made me cry. Just uncontrollable sobbing at this redemption arc and evolution. God, this was an amazing arc of 20 years.
4:17 brok really said "WHAT ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEZ"
R.I.P brok
God of War is the most amazing story of Character Development that has ever existed
0:06 "F is a natural part of life, my love"
8:21
"Do not be sorry. Be better"
This message allowed me to forgive myself for my own mistakes from the past, to be a better person.
It is just a game, but... What a great message it just let me
4:50 This whole bit of when kratos told Atreus the truth about him and his own father always gets to me. But in this video, when we see Kratos charging toward Zeus, and Kratos saying I killed my father in the background, made it get to me a little bit more.
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
Someone give this man a medal, because this is fucking perfectly edited
Jesus... That was the shortest and most emotional 9 minutes of my life.
"I am your monster no longer."
2:54 Mimir's head just hanging in the snow 🤣🤣
I feel like at it's heart, Kratos' story is all about how one deals with failure. It's easy to see him as this all knowing perfect warrior who never makes the wrong choices, but his entire story is built off of his own mistakes. I mean, the man literally wears all of his failures on his body.
I know everyone is already saying it but GOOSEBUMPS from start to finish... I only wish maybe a few more scenes from the older games were put in there kinda showing his background but this could even be a trailer for a movie the way its edited
Man dropped the coldest gow edit and didn't expect us to notice?
At 8:27 when Atreus told him to be better, and Kratos softly smile. He was a proud father!
Kratos in Past: God of War
Kratos in Present: God of CHANGE
Thank you so much this!!! You came through. I know kratos is a fictional character but playing this game made me a better father because I saw myself in kratos. Can't wait for your next release!!
This was literally 9 minutes of beauty.
5 swings to chop the tree and felt every one of them cut deeper… beautiful decision from the designers of the game but even better with this tribute
I just love how far along Kratos has come. How long ago these games had come out. It has been a worthwhile journey if we're being honest.
Unpopular opinion:
I love old Kratos, this tranquil mindset, who still forced to follow his paths, but accumulates a sense of better by doing so.
By following his son down his own paths. By being a father that he wished he could of been back then.
He may never truly find redemption.
Kratos has found a family, has found a life. Perhaps even a purpose that may one day lead to greater happiness.
Thank you for becoming the man you are in GOW Ragnarok.
Literally getting GOOSEBUMPS while watching this video! Love the edits! Kratos has found redemption for himself and it is so well deserved.
this is so well edited!! the parts at 3:20 through 4:00 and 5:00 to 6:00 gave me goosebumps.
Facts
Thank you Brother, for helping us be better.
God of War is a relatable character. Everything he went through in life, I'm sure that if we were all living in a mythical, fantasy world, some individuals would go through the exact same thing.
I’ve been a fan of the God of War franchise since I was little. Started off on ps2. Kratos growth as a character is mind blowing. But this video is truly something else. Its the literal embodiment of emotions we feel seeing him redeem himself after everything he’s done and been through all for revenge. I never could have imagined Kratos becoming this sort of character but I’m glad he did.
Absolute chills and tears to my eyes. Well done this was a amazing reminder of why I love these games
That's some Oscar winning edit
Cory barlog said he was setting up to an idea that, Athena had died, and was the first person in the pantheons' of gods to actually to have a selfless act. So she would be able to ascend to an higher level.
She would start to begin actious and think she did pretty good until she realized she could actually affect the rest of the world, she didn't want to get anyone onto her level.. That is why if their was no mask Odin would've been able to ascend higher, but the mask was a distraction for Odin, because the mask has Greek writing and Atreus is Greek.
At the end of the first God Of War with Atreus there is a drawing of a snake that goes through both, Kratos and Atreus. It may lead to a bigger title then Norse mythology. We might see Athena kill, Loki, and Kratos with Egyptians.
Seeing kratos go through so much and see him learn from his mistakes and earn his redemption that he earned though blood sweat and tears and cries of war brings a tears to my eyes 🥲🥲
0:14 you can also add a kratos scene when he does the same thing with faye, when you start a new game in gow 2018
god of war is not just all fighting and gore. its more than that. god of war taught me to master my emtions. it taught me to not be sorry, but to be better. that's what i love
about the game.
yeah I cried. I am crying right now. And yes, "You have come a long way since I first met you."
The beginning of this video has already gotten me in the feels, for Kratos finally getting what he always deserved and journeyed for. Amazing work!
OMG the best nine minutes in my day ❤
What an absolute master piece. Almost started crying at the end man.
Man reviewers out there saying that this game doesn't have a story! That Krato is too wooden! 🤦♂️
Clearly some don't have the patience and attention span for a slow burn and long character ark.
This journey is a long one but it's worth every step, every story told, it's company not the end goal.
3:22 Chills, every time.
Kratos has been a part of my life
And growing up with Him was one of the best things that has happened to me
the character development is crazy
"you were just an animal" - if only she knew how long it took to be this calm for him😔😔
The last scene where Kratos looks at his mural, is the moment he realizes he will finally put aside his past and become a god everyone loves and that's why he got so emotional. It also made us emotional.
This game is just awesome in every way.
What a masterpiece...
Here's what each character taught me:
Kratos has taught me how to strive in hardship and difficulty against all odds while having a strong sense of purpose and principles.
Atreus taught me what Kratos didn't realise until the end of it all: To open your heart to it. He taught me how to listen to my heart and do what is right.
Mimir taught me that the wise are those who know nothing.
Freya taught me to learn how to forgive and forget even when it hurts.
Faye taught me to avoid dwelling on the past and be better than yesterday.
Brok and Sindri taught me the importance of family and brotherhood.
Tyr taught me to achieve peace and showing kindness to the world.
Odin taught me to be relentless in the pursuit of knowledge.
Thor and his family taught how to build strong bonds with family memebers.
Never has a game impacted me as deeply as God of War. It is, has been and will always be the best game I've experienced.
P.S. Sorry if I forgot someone, there's so many intersting people with deep and complex characteristics.
this is one of my favorite videos i've ever seen - especially because Kratos is one of my favorite characters ever
This is perfect.Kratos will remain in my heart for the rest of my life, such an amazing character...
Man this got me hype. I love this edit. That part at 3:45 where you cut Odin's "No!" With the hit landing on Heimdall? *Chef's kiss*
Best GoW edit ever made. Amazing 🖤
Kratos’ character arc is my favourite in all of gaming.
This is easily one of the best yt videos ever⚡️
The delivery of that “and still I follow”
😢 beautiful man
This has to be the BEST video about Kratos on TH-cam, the amount of emotion and understanding here is staggering and hits you in the feels since we all grew up watching Kratos go from a vengeful god, to enacting his revenge of the Greek gods for the death of his family to getting a 2nd chance of being a father and raising a son and trying to make sure he is safe and not show him the horrors of his past, and not only did he do just that, Atreus finally understands what his father went thru and now knows what is means to "be better", the thing that made this game even more meaningful IMO is that Kratos knowing what he has done in the past, just wants to embrace a future where he can live in peace and have his son grow and have a family of his own, I think that's the greatest thing any parent would love, to see their children grow and prosper and learn from their mistakes
Kratos and Arthur Morgan would be such besties
"Death can Have me, When it Earns me" - Kratos
I love that we have the full story now I knew this tribute would be perfect cause of that.
