neat idea but old Kratos would absolutely whip young Kratos, since although he has significantly more restraint he is significantly more powerful with his age as well
That’s one of my favorite Easter eggs from the last game and this one. Such a great nod to the mythology that, like Santa Monica always does, ties the games to the mythology but just changes it or tweaks it a bit and it’s really really cool.
To be fair it was different. With the sisters of fate he literally killed them and changed his fate. In this scenario he would need to change himself, which is practically more difficult depending on the way you look at it
Ya Kratos would have 100% undeniably died if he had not changed his nature. The giants predicted it. It was Faye who made him capable of changing. She believed he could be something different, she taught him to open his heart, if it wasnt for her, he wouldn't fought thor to protect his son, and die in the process, never being better, as he always claims you should do
@@kingjah8661 no literally if kratos hadn't changed thor would have killed him in their 2nd encounter which is why the destroyed mural has thor standing over his body
The way the Norns were totally glazing Kratos and making him out to be a invincible warrior only for the unnamed enemy to do 90% of his health in one shot 😂
Only GoW 3 Kratos would. The other games in the old series, Kratos doesn't go out of his way to kill anyone who doesn't strike first. Though if you're directly and nonviolently impeding his goal, he's definitely going to kill you
"excuse me HES WHAT!?!? I AIN'T FIGHTING THE GHOST OF BLOODY SPARDA!!!(puts sword down) I'm going to go bet burned by a dragon way better way to die and go to Valhalla then whatever he does to me"
"Cruel striker" is obviously a not to Kratos being Farbauti, but also what a perfect description for Kratos, especially during the bad old days in Greece.
He chases a redemption he knows he can never deserve because he cannot change He's not trying to change, he's just using what he has for good and is fine living with the ghosts of his past.
He cannot change... until HE DID That's what I like about the Norns, they might seemed smug and condescending but they never hid the fact that to change your destiny YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF
I love these callbacks to Greek Kratos. Although it might cause regret and shame for Kratos that people still remember what he did over 1000 years ago.
Yea so just real quick, attacks that have a yellow indicator can be parried, and attacks with red indicators are unavoidable without dodging out of the way
Mimir was the best, "let me guess: I'm an insufferable know-it-all, and I can't change!" LOL
I think it's extra funny because they knew what he was going to say but they still said something, which means they still know they can get under his skin

Knowing that and still going for it is stupidity not balls 😂
@@ChosenProverb I was talking about the traveler
"Cruel Striker" = Farbauti, what the Giants called Kratos.. Farbauti & Laufey are the parents of Loki
And Faye was just slick version of her actual name Laufey the Just.
The amount to detail is crazy
@@Ayatorin facts
Everyday i learn something new, thanks fam
Still think it's a slight missed opportunity for them to have us fight a young version of Kratos conjured by the norns
Its a good idea, but they did that in ghost of sparta.
Put that in Helheim and I’m down
Mm, idk about that. Them specifically focusing on his worries about Atreus leaving him for Odin were a lot more relevant to the current story.
They should have put Zeus in stories
neat idea but old Kratos would absolutely whip young Kratos, since although he has significantly more restraint he is significantly more powerful with his age as well
Fun fact: the title "cruel striker" is a translation of the name of Lokis real dad (I mean his dad in the actual mythology)
Fárbauti
@@drackesp5747 Didn't Faye change the name of Kratos in the prophecy mural to Farbauti? The same way she refers to Atreus as Loki?
@@20_foot_burmese_pyth0n yup

Yeah farbauti
Kraits fails to dodge attacks and refuses to shield break
Kraits, the name of the balls of kratos
I was thinking the same thing the whole time 😭
😂 im hoping that was on purpose
Yeah I'm like damn this dude sucks
Rages? You nearly died bro 😂
Do all the fights look so hollow and un-impactful as this one? It was like the attacks had no weight?

The John wick introduction right
The way the Norns first address Kratos, I legit thought they were speaking as the sisters of fate from old GOW 2.
Now that you mention it, Verdandi's voice actress sounds like Lahkesis
I just now realized that some enemies actually wear armor similar to what you wear, both from GoW4 and Ragnarok
The traveler
Other way around lol
The norns really wanted the circle ⭕ button on there heads
There are two uses of that button.

Apparently they don't know kratos enough to aknowledge how foolish is to battle him.
Kratos cannot change. Seems like he can’t dodge either.
‘Kratos nearly fucking dies after being called Ghost of Sparta, completely forgets how to dodge or use his shield, attacks don’t make enemy flinch’
“Cruel striker” as he gets striked lol
"Kratos: the godslayer"
Random Guy: Nah, I'd win
The way the Norns were totally glazing Kratos and making him out to be a invincible warrior only for the unnamed enemy to do 90% of his health in one shot 😂
Gotta love how although they didn't use young Kratos,the enemy is a reference to his appearance at the start of GOW2
The travelers are such mysterious enemyes , they look like they ve been everywhere
They said travelling the 9 realms will bring them to paradise so they must've been everywhere except Jotunheim
According to Birgir, the whole Traveler thing was a plot by Odin to get into Jotunheim. Birgir figured it out, but couldn't convince his brethren.
Cruel striker is also a nod to the father of loki. I believe that's one of the translations for farbauti
"You cannot change, you will always be a monster." - Athena
"But I am your Monster no longer" -Kratos
How you gone let his slow
Ass touch you 😂 😂😂
Anyone else think the drums in the background kinda resemble the drums of god of war 3s soundtrack?
Because it is. It's a remix of GOW3 - Glory of Sparta
They really should have watched their mouths, a certain younger spartan would have killed them for talking that shit.
Only GoW 3 Kratos would. The other games in the old series, Kratos doesn't go out of his way to kill anyone who doesn't strike first. Though if you're directly and nonviolently impeding his goal, he's definitely going to kill you
Still bugs me how tf do these people think that they can take on Kratos when they know exactly who he is lol
They made the mistake of thinking that their more tough than Kratos.
The fickle of a god is no more than a man. Elden ring - goldmask.
Would of turned right back around and walked right back in the portal if I heard that intro of a man I was about to fight.
"excuse me HES WHAT!?!? I AIN'T FIGHTING THE GHOST OF BLOODY SPARDA!!!(puts sword down) I'm going to go bet burned by a dragon way better way to die and go to Valhalla then whatever he does to me"

How tf do u not dodge that heavy attack 😂
They forget “ the albino “
This Part gave me goosebumps.
Especially, that the voice resembled Athena's voice. The music score on top was chef's kiss
AMAZING SECTION
The music that plays sounds like the music from the first games
Me: Keiichi Morisato!!! Come get your girl! Her and her sisters are messing with people again!!!
I love the fact the music kinda sounds like it’s from the Older Games
As legendary as Kratos is, apparently he can't dodge for shit.
That traveller was fucking you up tho😂
And the circles button man
“He cannot change”
*Kratos: 💀*
Traveller: *Aha! Another victi-*
Norns: *Ghost of Sparta, Bane of Olympus, Destroyer of Gods*
Traveller: *…goddamnit*
Kratos: ah yes, i do miss the old names...
Insane gameplay bro truly a skilled player Gna stands no chance
Nice sarcasm
Yeah, remind the greek who was insanely angry of his past. I am sure it won't backfire.
Norns: He can not change
Kratos: *shows he has changed*
Also Norns: *out of a Job*
Bro dodged INTO the attack 🗿
holy fuck “Bane of Olympus” is such a sick title 😭😭😭😭
The Norns : Destroyer of the Fates... Say what now?? 💀
It gives me goosebump every time he call him "destroyer of fate!"
They forgot "the man who cannot dodge, and block" as a title
When mimir called them on their Bullshit and not even fate could clapback to the smartest head alive
Believing someone can or can't deserve redemption spits in the face of the very concept of it.
Jeez you're bad that thing has the most easiest moves to dodge and you over here getting smacked up
For those unaware, the term "Cruel Striker" is a reference to Loki's father in actual Norse Mythology, Fárbauti, which translates to "Cruel Striker."
"Tight Ends arnt famous in football"
Um Gronkowski? Lol
Kratos rages... but still gets his ass whooped.
I really wish they did more with the Norns. When they got there it was a 3 minute conversation and then they left.
I wonder why they say he cannot change just like Athena did. Makes you think Athena is still involved somehow
I thought it kinda sounded like Athena when the voice first spoke.
Athena and Thoth are probably involved with the mask and rift plot tho
*Proceeds to roll his entire body over the cut off head*
Kratos during the whole conversation:🗿
You almost got merced dudette 😂
“Rages”
*proceeds to play like shit*
Imagine being told to fight some old dude with an axe and mid fight they drop “bane of Olympus” as his mame
He chases a redemption he knows he can never deserve because he cannot change
He's not trying to change, he's just using what he has for good and is fine living with the ghosts of his past.
This is the most tame kratos could possibly be..
>Bringer of War
no shit. he's literally the god of war
Damn this Kratos was weak!
Trying to stop those attacks with a Shield 😅😅😭
I killed this traveller so fast on my playthrough I barely heard anything the people said
Sounds like Athena talking again
Bro just dodge
Thats one badass CV
Resume for those across the pond
That blue sword look like a dollar store/walmart version of the blade of Olympus
This was tough to watch
I like how the Norns say he can’t change but also call him the destroyer of fate 💀
Cruel striker aka farbauti (in norse myth farbauti is Loki parent)
He cannot change... until HE DID
That's what I like about the Norns, they might seemed smug and condescending but they never hid the fact that to change your destiny YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF
I can only imagine what went through the opponents mind after hearing all THAT
I love these callbacks to Greek Kratos. Although it might cause regret and shame for Kratos that people still remember what he did over 1000 years ago.
Man I be tickled watching some of these youtubers take hits. Dodge my G!
I feel like "Kratos rages after ____________" is a title that would befit most things from GoW
That wasn’t character’s reaction to the dialogue that was you pressing the input to activate the ability…
Behind you brotha
Kratos you're God damn right!
Yo why you let kratos get disrespected after that intro bro
This clip goes extra hard
Yea so just real quick, attacks that have a yellow indicator can be parried, and attacks with red indicators are unavoidable without dodging out of the way
This is the part of the game where you see the first broken enemy ability
I’m convinced everyone knows kratos is the ghost of Sparta
*Alternate Tittle:* I rage on God Of War after norn calls Kratos the Ghost Of Sparta.
They really want to piss off the guy who killed the Fates, who were stronger than the Norns? Not wise.
