When Atreus said “It smells like rotten eggs” and asked if it was still good, Kratos says “possibly”. In Greek Mythology Aphrodite cursed all the women on the island to smell horrible because they rejected her shrines. The smell made its way into to foods and drinks too. So the wine was most likely still good, it just smelled bad.
"You only killed those deserving, right?" ... the Music and the little pause of Kratos.. hits me in many ways.. The people who might survived back in Greece beg to differ.
Echoes of an Old Life is the track. It's very good indeed, it plays when Freya says that she knows Kratos is a god, when Kratos gets the blades back, and now.
Death Count: 54 Boy Count: 106 (Kratos: 125) Mimir Brother Count: 21 Head Count (Pause): 12 (Kratos: 15) A real challenge would have been to count how many times Mimir says 'lad' So as to why there was Greek stuff in Tyr's Vault, he went around the world and was gifted things from various cultures. Including Greece. The desert land mentioned, is actually Egypt. 'BOYYYYYYYYY'
That drinking scene reminds me of my dad trying to make me drink beer for the first time. The part Atreus drinks but definitely doesn't like the taste, and Kratos showing him how to drink it (chugging it down). What a relatable father-son moment.
Tip for fighting valkyries: At the very start rush up to them and start attacking. They are vulnerable to free hits as they open up their wings to take their fighting stance.
One thing you should know: In areas that you can only visit once, and then lose access to after completion, there are rare items or abilities that you can't go back for if you miss them. However, you can still get them from Broc and Sindri. I think it's the menu option on the furthest right. I think you missed something in the area where you dropped the giant hammer.
Kara is the only one that summons enemies, but as a result, she is also the one with the lowest health. And also, the devs thought that the blades were gonna be weak against Valks since they’re more crowd control oriented, so they actually have a 15% damage buff against them. Which actually made them the best against them if you use certain combos.
"No. We are not men. The responsibility is far greater... and you must be better than me. Do you understand?" Hits so damn hard, moments like this make playing the OG games so worth it. The payoff is extreme.
Couple of tips Matty! Use the blades with the hellwalkers, makes huge diference. Also spare resources to upgrade more endgame armors, you would need all the help with the valkyries
Whenever you see a fast travel door interact with and it will fully refill your health and rage, even if you don't actually travel with them. Same in the next game, too
Love this series. Mati won’t get it all done in time for Shadow or the Erd Tree and that’s okay. I would rather see this series reach its end with all Valkyries defeated before the next one begins. The Valkyries will be sufficient training for the undoubtably tough bosses of the Elden Ring DLC. You’re well over half way through GOW (2018). Would love Episode 10 this weekend, Mati bro. It’ll be a side-quest episode. Might even save the third and final dragon before delving into the rest of the story.
Loving this series Mati lad!! Quick tip....when you're in an area, hit the pause button and on the left hand side, it gives you a summary of what collectibles there are, how many you got and how many you ain't!! Very helpful if you want Platinum!!
FYI, the level on the axe and the level on the blades don't only affect the weapon itself. Leveling them up just increases your stats, which give multipliers on everything you do. Blade level increases the damage of runic attacks on both the axe and the blades, and the axe level increases the damage of regular attacks on both weapons, as well as fists.
Yup... a great start for much anticipated weekend. Am watching this now on a calm, relaxing Friday night, with a bowl of hot noodle and a glass of coffee. This is Valhalla!
I wonder if you mean the same thing... He said it totally out of context... Damn I will cry if anyone spoils it. So just leave this comment for future Mati
first time early lets goooooo, perfect for lunch at work 🫶🙏I’m so glad you’re playing this, my brother and I bonded with this game and it’s so refreshing seeing first time reactions like the ones we had. 100K in no time baby!!!
Been waiting all day to finally sit down and watch this episode! You've no clue how sweetly joyous a feeling when someone shares the pure joy for something as you do. GoW has been a comfort series for a long while. Playing the original trilogy is a must to truly capture and bring the details in 2018, and Ragnarök full circle. Can't wait to see your experience of the opening sequence to Ragnarök. Long videos are most welcome, too! Hope you have a lovely day/night! Everyone reading too! 💛
this might be weird to you.. but if you cut a hole in the middle of a blanket you can stand through it.. then sit.. have the blanket over your legs..AND can wrap it from your back over your shoulders. Very comfy
Mati- the axe skill that says to hit R1 after a delay: stand still and hit R1. Kratos will swing the axe, then after a brief pause, he takes a different stance where he holds the axe more behind him. This is the different stance to perform the other axe moves…either R1 or R2, depending on what you have unlocked.
I love when he asks "can i turn into an animal" it really just shows such child like innocence like when we wished to have flight or invinsibilty as a child. But kratos never had the opportunity to have child like innocence so hes stunned and surprised that he didnt think of power or strength but just fun
Once again another great Episode from you. It's great to see you getting in love with the whole God of War Franchise and see how You and your skills getting better.
Oh man! Is the plot getting thicker, or what? Kratos sharing the wine, teaching Atreus about the responsibility of being a god, giving him the knife and letting a bit of emotion showing as well. Asking his son not to do the same mistakes and to be better us heartbreaking.
33:36 any time you’re low on health just open the fast travel doors. You don’t have to go anywhere, you can back right out, but it will refill your health
It was definitely rare back then to comment on game character acting but would love to know of performances that were equal or better to this game. I can’t think of any better. Cinematography plays a big part but those pauses and stoicism. That’s confident shit.
Loving the series so far!! Also, I’m not sure if anyone else has said this, but when you activate a realm travel door, it fully restores your health. I believe the game also allows you to quickly back out of it so that you still heal without having to go to the map Random ass word
If you want Atreus to throw you some health during combat, make sure you equip the proper armor for him to do so!! I believe you have the yellow outfit for him equipped, so the blue one should do the trick 😃
As a tip, use the blades more with ice enemies or when fighting multiple enemies at once. And use the axe a lil more when fighting fire enemies or just one or 2 enemies at once. *When fighting valkyries tho, it's a good idea to become proficient in using both weapons! You're gonna need it! Also to use the pause switch stance thingy skill, all you have to do is pause for a quick second after attacking once. You'll see kratos enter some sort of stance and when he does that you can attack with a cool light or heavy (if you have the skill for heavy) attack. Anyways, can't wait for the next part! The boy's gonna be fun!👀
Switch stance is when you attack, wait a bit, and kratos triggers a little animation where he's like preparing for a move. You will notice the little animation, and that's when you're ready to press r1 or r2
My secret word for the episode is pals. Amazing episode and don’t worry about doing too much side stuff because we love watching all of it. Keep up the good work! ❤
BOYYYYYYYYY
MATII MY BOY U DA GOATT !!!!!!!!
@@extraordinarygamer937 NO YOU
BOYYYYOOOOO
Does putting a comment count as saying it?😅😂
I love when Kratos gave him that wine that was amazing 😂
"The final Valkyrie won't be that hard," Oh, you sweet summer child, you have no idea what you are in for.
Aint that the truth
Exactly she will probably make him break a few controllers
She’s going to slap him 😂
Took me like 30 attempts and I barely got it
It took me 3 days of non-stop trying on "give me god of war," wearing the armor of Zeus to beat her. It required a perfect run.
Atreus: "You killed those deserving right?"
Kratos: "Yes"
Boat captain: "💀"
XDXDXDXDXD this made me laugh so hard. Thank you
Kratos being caught off guard by Atreus’s innocent question ‘can i turn into an animal’. Its perfect 🥲
When Atreus said “It smells like rotten eggs” and asked if it was still good, Kratos says “possibly”. In Greek Mythology Aphrodite cursed all the women on the island to smell horrible because they rejected her shrines. The smell made its way into to foods and drinks too. So the wine was most likely still good, it just smelled bad.
Huh that's a funny way to explain why some food smell bad but taste good. Though in my case it almost always smell bad taste bad
The Greek gods were petty as fuck
Could also just be that hes a kid and alcohol tends to smell pretty bad, especially if you aint used to it
"No this is not a Dune cosplay" Mati is too humble to admit it but he's definitely LISAN AL GAIB!
I will lead you to PARADISE!
@@matiasgago As written!
The drinking scene on the elevator was the second time kratos ever smiled
Grendel of the ASHES. Grendel of the FROST. "I'm confused, why won't the blades work." *me smashing my keyboard*
Same intention, just didn't commented 😔😔
"You only killed those deserving, right?" ... the Music and the little pause of Kratos.. hits me in many ways..
The people who might survived back in Greece beg to differ.
Echoes of an Old Life is the track.
It's very good indeed, it plays when Freya says that she knows Kratos is a god, when Kratos gets the blades back, and now.
Oke mati, I know you wanna play the main story. But the exploration Journey Is also awesome with you man. Don't stop doing that please.
1:16:20
*Mati deals massive amount of damage with the axe throw runic attack*
Mati: OMG, that did nothing...
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@matiasgagothat attack is literally the best runic attack in the entire game lmao I would suggest leveling it to max
What is the attack called?@@tehCostHD
@@Bruvuii I believe it is called glaive storm. It’s by far the best heavy runic attack for the axe both in single target and AOE
Death Count: 54
Boy Count: 106 (Kratos: 125)
Mimir Brother Count: 21
Head Count (Pause): 12 (Kratos: 15)
A real challenge would have been to count how many times Mimir says 'lad'
So as to why there was Greek stuff in Tyr's Vault, he went around the world and was gifted things from various cultures. Including Greece. The desert land mentioned, is actually Egypt.
'BOYYYYYYYYY'
"You do not know everything, boy"
Man, Kratos is a true stoic. I don't know how I would react if my son said he thinks I didn't want him
That drinking scene reminds me of my dad trying to make me drink beer for the first time. The part Atreus drinks but definitely doesn't like the taste, and Kratos showing him how to drink it (chugging it down). What a relatable father-son moment.
The secret word has to be frog, did anybody else noticing the little one hopping between Kratos and Atreus in the end? 😂
I genuinely love chilling with a side quest episode
You gotta love it when you hear a notification ping and it's Mati dropping the banger
Notification gang the best gang
Truly
btw kara is the only valkyrie (from what i remember) that spawns other enemies with her
Thank god! lol
@@matiasgagoShe is also one of the easiest because you get a lot of health drops from the mobs
The gimmick of that last fight is that the two trolls share health bars, where one trades health to balance his buddy’s if you focus on one
He made that puzzle of sun and moon seem so easy. I spent way to much time there😂😂
BIG BRAIN POWER
Yeah, right. I felt for sure he'd need at least a few goes. Put me to shame
He happened to make the exact right moves needed at the beginning. If you don’t do that, it becomes hard to fix it
The norns foretold of this coming.. and so i have brought ice cream

Father, is this another peak video? Yes Boy, yes it is.

Glaive storm. Probably my favourite runic attack from 2018, love watching the axe fly around and clear an entire room of enemies.
Whenever you see a fast travel door interact with and it will fully refill your health and rage, even if you don't actually travel with them. Same in the next game, too

Another Mati of War upload, yes! Just what I needed. Stranded at home with the car in the shop. This will lift my spirits. 😊
Been waiting all day to finally sit down and watch this episode!
You've no clue how sweetly joyous a feeling when someone shares the pure joy for something as you do.
GoW has been a comfort series for a long while. Playing the original trilogy is a must to truly capture and bring the details in 2018, and Ragnarök full circle.
Can't wait to see your experience of the opening sequence to Ragnarök.
Long videos are most welcome, too!
Hope you have a lovely day/night! Everyone reading too! 💛
This is going to be another great one! The last one was outstanding!! Thanks Mati 😊
Great watching you take this journey
Can't wait to see this week's 2nd movie
this might be weird to you.. but if you cut a hole in the middle of a blanket you can stand through it.. then sit..
have the blanket over your legs..AND can wrap it from your back over your shoulders.
Very comfy
This playthrough is the bomb man. 🔥😁
GOD OF WAR !!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
There’s a raven of Odin in every Valkyrie chamber in the room with the boss. In case you’re trying to snag them all.
The matis of olympus have abandoned us now there is no hope
Kratos proves his strength in many ways, one of my favourites is yet to come, good luck :)
MATI UPLOAD!! been loving this playthrough!!
Thank you for Edging us Gamer Mati
"That's from a desert land very far away" God of War in Egyptian mythology incoming...
Good episode. The last valkyrie is a true cauchemar. Thanks!
That super subtle smile from Kratos after the drinks is perfect.
Boi I say Boi we got another banger on our hands. Probably already said this one before. 😆
Fire against Ice, Ice against fire brother MATI . Remember.
Mati- the axe skill that says to hit R1 after a delay: stand still and hit R1. Kratos will swing the axe, then after a brief pause, he takes a different stance where he holds the axe more behind him. This is the different stance to perform the other axe moves…either R1 or R2, depending on what you have unlocked.
Love the exploration
I love the character development in this game, and the council of the Valkyries will be very important later…
pro tip if you wanna talk to the audience press pause cuz these guys aint gonna let you talk otherwise
I love when he asks "can i turn into an animal" it really just shows such child like innocence like when we wished to have flight or invinsibilty as a child. But kratos never had the opportunity to have child like innocence so hes stunned and surprised that he didnt think of power or strength but just fun

My Favourite god of war series,I'm going back to all the other games now,keep going man❤️
LETS GOOOO! Keep up the great work, Mati!

The time stamps is a great way for people who just want to watch the main story to keep up with the videos. Thanks
I AM A GOD BOI! So excited to watch the video Matt! Keep up the good work! 🔥
yeh thank you man for another great evening

Loved this one!
Gods!
I’m watching this fully, but just searching through- 48:50 is what I’ve been waiting for you to see most in this playthrough!
Can't wait to get off work to watch this !
BOY!!!
Loving the series so far!! Also, I’m not sure if anyone else has said this, but when you activate a realm travel door, it fully restores your health. I believe the game also allows you to quickly back out of it so that you still heal without having to go to the map
Random ass word
33:20 for me, that is the best theme in the game, it is a shame that it appears in rare occasions.
It's a good day when mati uploads ,, here we go again mati ❤❤
If you want Atreus to throw you some health during combat, make sure you equip the proper armor for him to do so!! I believe you have the yellow outfit for him equipped, so the blue one should do the trick 😃
It’s that time again squadron!!
Can't wait to put things in your Box Matti... wait what? 🤔
The highlight of my day is seeing mati experience this for the first time lel love the work he's quickly becoming my favorite youtuber
Mati saying the bond between Kratos and Atreus is stronger at the end of the vid….oooh boy

Last Valkyrie has nameless King energy, awesome battle can't wait!
