I love how they use ost from the old games. I hope when you beat it theres gonna be new difficulty unlocked just like the heat system in hades to change the combat even more
I knew you were going to be hyped for this the moment it was announced. It was practically made for you! Honestly, I can't help but feel like Santa Monica heard the complaints from people who play the game mostly for the combat don't want to sit through a ton of cutscenes and walky talky sections, and while I'm sure there will be a little bit of story in this update, for the most part, it looks like it's just going to be a pure, raw gameplay experience, and it's great to see that GOW is sort of going back to its roots in that regard. Just yet another reminder that criticism is healthy and necessary if you want change to happen. You stood by your criticisms and didn't back down to the defenders, and it seems like it's finally paid off! Also... that Vengeful Spartan remix. No joke... I nearly burst into tears when I heard that in the trailer.
Yessir. Now to just wait for it to come out. I'm ready to completely separate it and count it as a different game if i have to. ALL my problems with Ragnarok's base game stemmed from game design issues. "Downtime" being a lot more prevalent than ACTUAL playtime (combat) was my biggest issue. I'm sure this'll fix it!
I think that's from the valkyries' council before they moved into midgard, in GOW 4 mimir said they did that after freya left odin, so it's a remnant from their old council in Valhalla 4:54
As soon as I heard about dlc, I started feeling like time slowed down, cause I can’t wait to play this game! Also, keep your expectations low and you will not get disappointed, fellas!
Apart from the skippable cut scenes that they added after the game released, I’ve never seen zesty so excited about anything Ragnarok related before it came out as soon as I saw the DLC release in Captain Cubas stream. I immediately got excited to see your reaction to this because I knew you would absolutely love it like you said this is a love letter from Santa Monica to the original God of war fans who absolutely love combat Can’t wait to see this in a few days time. Stay awesome zesty and massive respect to Santa Monica for listening to your fans.
I’m so glad the combat isn’t going to go to waste. I can’t wait for you to play this. I just hope I’m awake when you go live because this is gonna be so hype
Saw the thumbnail and thought "oh a reaction video!". Then i saw the title and thought "Nice, ill learn a lot". At last i saw the length and thought "HELL YEAH"
5:00 This DLC is called Valhalla and the connection is the throne is of the Valkyries. You can look it up to back in GoW 2018. In the Council of Valkyries.
Cool video, great breakdown, the thing that took my interest the most was "new combination of enemies" like imagine something like Cereberus or minotaur Wraith will be cool to see... And we might see some familiar faces again since it's more recommended after finishing the story maybe we get Thor i don't really see it work tho still good stuff zestyMan
I think an idea they could throw in is seeing baldur in some type of way. Like Captain kuba says we might fight not only regular enemys and bosses but gods as well like magni and modi, Thor, and even baldur, but they put a little more into baldur, like after his death kratos words really stuck to him and he became better in so way-
I thought of you immediately after we saw the reveal! Can't wait to watch this breakdown, and can't wait to play the combat without suffering through the cutscenes and walky talkies!!!
What’s so exciting about this is that it seems they are genuinely talking criticism into consideration, and moving in a more favorable direction, hopefully they keep this energy with god of war 6 and give us a perfect blend of new and old god of war, while also pushing innovation in other areas
What about hades? His kingdom was pretty much judging who we gonna go to hell or heaven i have a feeling zeus will appear again and when you run with Kratos hermes will mock you of how slow you are and when you get blinded kratos will remember helios and get a special dialogue.
Here's my thoughts on what the five difficulties "Challenge Levels" for Valhalla will be: Show Me Butter Knife (Very Easy) Show Me Warming Up (Easy) Show Me Efficiency (Normal) Show Me Warrior Skills (Hard) Show Me Mastery of War (Very Hard)
I dont get why their expectations and hopes getting so high it's free dlc which is great from the studio to care for their fans but it's not going to be huge and crazy it'll mostly have short story and fun new mode for gowr combat
I really can’t wait for this. Thanks so much for this nice breakdown. One thing I really hope for in this DLC is even more nods to Greek mythological creatures to fight from the OG trilogy besides the Cyclops, and possibly other Gods from Kratos’ past to make a return somehow. Fighting Thor again would be cool and all but I would also like to see anything Greek god related. Hades, Poseidon, anyone. Even a younger more greedy Kratos, how sick would that be. All I’m saying is as many and as cool as all the enemies and bosses were in Ragnarok alone, they cannot possibly tease us with the Cyclops and it be the only Greece related creature, I say no way. 😅😂
This might be kinda like niplheim like gow 2018, but without the fog. Them putting the og theme in the trailer kind of gives the idea that they made the dlc for us bois.
Cant wait to fight another greek monster like chimera, cerberus, etc or maybe some greek god that still alive, or maybe, just maybe the return of the most badass and beloved character of all time, the one and only the boat captain.
Valhalla isn't the place where all proud and strangest souls go to? We saw Cyclops so this mean greek stuff can go there too. Imagine if we see last Spartan in there. Thats why we see kratos hold spartan shield.
What if we fight young kratos and/or deimos half way through it, when you defeat them you can play as them. Young kratos has the blades, deimos has the spear, and older kratos has the axe, if this happens i'll play the challenge of the Gods of Gow 1 no grabs/blocks
it is surprising they took a reference in this part 3:20 and btw this DLC is out of nowhere edit: also the music at 4:20 is very reminiscent of the old greek music themes
When was the last time zesty got this excited 😆 and in the trailer the gate way is back so i am assuming that we travel to other areas using the gate ( i don't know what the gate name is ) and one more thing if Thor is gonna be a boss how is he gonna fight? His daughter has his hammer
What If each weapon will bring an OG or new Magic power ( but with CD probably not blue orbs ) as Square button is free without companion Well that's too much to hope, but let's see
Why not? My biggest problem with Ragnarok's base game was the game design. Main problem was always the "downtime". The abundance of it. Walky talkies, climbing, boaty talkies, standy talkies, puzzles, etc. Way more downtime than actual playtime (combat). That was always my main gripe. Also unskippable cutscenes, but we're beyond that now, since they fixed it.

I love how they use ost from the old games. I hope when you beat it theres gonna be new difficulty unlocked just like the heat system in hades to change the combat even more
Man Is only Kratos and Mimir, The best thing i want and more we get deep on the Valhalla mabye more OG enemies comes👍

Same here
Small correction: constructive criticism and not just criticism that's necessary and zesty gave some good ones of those
0:34 it has been so long since i heard that intro 🔥🔥
Watch the Boat Captain return as the final boss
😂
Mmhm. Yes.
Boat captain will have his revenge
Seems like bro said: I didnt come back for you
The classic GoW music, the MUSIC...oh my god!
I think that's from the valkyries' council before they moved into midgard, in GOW 4 mimir said they did that after freya left odin, so it's a remnant from their old council in Valhalla 4:54
As soon as I heard about dlc, I started feeling like time slowed down, cause I can’t wait to play this game!
Also, keep your expectations low and you will not get disappointed, fellas!
Idk if its just me but the throne at the beginning reminded me of the Valkyries thrones in the circle from GoW 2018

This. They respected players who are there to play the combat. This awesome combat system did not go to waste afterall.
I’m so glad the combat isn’t going to go to waste. I can’t wait for you to play this. I just hope I’m awake when you go live because this is gonna be so hype
The throne at the beginning is from the council of Valkyries
Genius
The happyness in his face 😂❤😊
Saw the thumbnail and thought "oh a reaction video!". Then i saw the title and thought "Nice, ill learn a lot". At last i saw the length and thought "HELL YEAH"
When I heard the classic theme I nearly shat myself
>Says 'shat' instead of 'shitted myself'
True man of culture.
It’s been a while I’ve seen you so excited Zesty. I’m happy for you
Shoulda seen my reaction when i saw it for the first time.
The chair in the trailer is actually the same as chairs found in Council of Valkyries in GOW 2018
Yes.
5:00 This DLC is called Valhalla and the connection is the throne is of the Valkyries. You can look it up to back in GoW 2018. In the Council of Valkyries.
I love the GOW 3 remixed music in the back, and if you look at the poster for the dlc. It looks exactly like GOW 2.
Imagine getting the golden fleece as a shield alternative.
Cool video, great breakdown, the thing that took my interest the most was "new combination of enemies" like imagine something like Cereberus or minotaur Wraith will be cool to see...
And we might see some familiar faces again since it's more recommended after finishing the story maybe we get Thor i don't really see it work tho still good stuff zestyMan
Only one way to find out. 4 days.
It was indeed cool to see
I think an idea they could throw in is seeing baldur in some type of way. Like Captain kuba says we might fight not only regular enemys and bosses but gods as well like magni and modi, Thor, and even baldur, but they put a little more into baldur, like after his death kratos words really stuck to him and he became better in so way-
HUGE W BREAKDOWN!!!!🔥🔥
I found it really funny that assassins creed Valhalla's dlc was ragnarok, then god of war ragnarok's dlc was valhalla. Can't wait for it.
I thought of you immediately after we saw the reveal! Can't wait to watch this breakdown, and can't wait to play the combat without suffering through the cutscenes and walky talkies!!!
What’s so exciting about this is that it seems they are genuinely talking criticism into consideration, and moving in a more favorable direction, hopefully they keep this energy with god of war 6 and give us a perfect blend of new and old god of war, while also pushing innovation in other areas
Something everyone mist, you hear the og god of war menu select sound when Kratos wakes up
Wha?
Wait, you're right...
IMAGINE JUST IMAGINE! HAVING THE GOW 2 ARMOR 😮
I need that
Bro when the old greek music started playing, i went nuts man, holy shit even the norse gameplay goes well with that banger.
What about hades? His kingdom was pretty much judging who we gonna go to hell or heaven i have a feeling zeus will appear again and when you run with Kratos hermes will mock you of how slow you are and when you get blinded kratos will remember helios and get a special dialogue.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hopes we can fight Zeus in this dlc. Maybe he’ll be the final boss. God that would be so awesome.
This DLC would be a good opportunity for Santa Monica to let us use the hammer and a bunch of other weapons
Here's my thoughts on what the five difficulties "Challenge Levels" for Valhalla will be:
Show Me Butter Knife (Very Easy)
Show Me Warming Up (Easy)
Show Me Efficiency (Normal)
Show Me Warrior Skills (Hard)
Show Me Mastery of War (Very Hard)
Im watching this and hold up, WHAT IF WE MEET THE LAST SPARTAN OR THE BOAT CAPTAIN?
I want to see "calm and reasonable" kratos remove his eye
*surgically removes eye via stabbing it 3 - 10 times*
Praise the gods its not Atreus DLC...such a relief..
Praise *God
I started edging to the sight of that cyclops (ingame)
What if deimos comes back?
The throne is one from the valkyries
Am really hyped for the dlc challenge streams
Every single game that has combat should have a mode like this or similar. No cutscenes or talking. Just straight up combat.
SHIT, GOW MUSIC SLAPS
this is a bros only road trip
Bro when i saw kratos fighting again i nearly shited myself from exitment
The throne was a Valkyrie throne.
Imagine blades of chaos skins as unlockables, we hacking the shit out of thor with blades of exiles
Im calling it now. THE TALOS STATUE WILL BE IN VALHALLA!!
the throne in the opening shot is very similar to the thrones present in the council of valkyrie in gow 2018
Please don't keep your expectations high kaptain kuba said we would have gone back to Greece and fight apolo in his gow prediction.
I dont get why their expectations and hopes getting so high it's free dlc which is great from the studio to care for their fans but it's not going to be huge and crazy it'll mostly have short story and fun new mode for gowr combat
bro you're hilarious keep making videos like this
hopefully more god of war content happens soon
much love
I wonder if it’ll be just Kratos or they didn’t show a companion because we can go there with either of them
We'll have to see.
It's gonna be like descent from The Division 2. Iykyk.
I really can’t wait for this. Thanks so much for this nice breakdown. One thing I really hope for in this DLC is even more nods to Greek mythological creatures to fight from the OG trilogy besides the Cyclops, and possibly other Gods from Kratos’ past to make a return somehow.

Zeus descended to the heavens too he died in battle also every greek god kratos fought died in battle
This might be kinda like niplheim like gow 2018, but without the fog. Them putting the og theme in the trailer kind of gives the idea that they made the dlc for us bois.
This might be a reason to talk about raggy..... btw I’m happy to see a video from you, you seem very happy!
This seems like nifilhiem on steroids from 2018 and risk of rain 2 is my favorite game I’m here for it
İf Zesty is happy then lm happy btw when are you gona do a top 5 things aboot gow?
The throne is from god of war 2018 the place where you fought sigrun
Can't wait to play it and watching Zetsy playing it 🔥
That chair was the valkiryes how you not know?
21:38 mannnn stop hyping me up like that bro come on 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The definitely gonna give us the menu with half of kratos' face 🙌🙌
Cant wait to fight another greek monster like chimera, cerberus, etc or maybe some greek god that still alive, or maybe, just maybe the return of the most badass and beloved character of all time, the one and only the boat captain.
Coat Baptist?
5:00 It's a Valerie's throne from 2018
21:51 aint no way, bro forgot ares
this shit did not disappoint 🔥
Valhalla isn't the place where all proud and strangest souls go to? We saw Cyclops so this mean greek stuff can go there too. Imagine if we see last Spartan in there. Thats why we see kratos hold spartan shield.
It is a test of one's mind, too. The cyclops we're fighting might turn out to be a figment of Kratos' imagination. Who knows?
The Spartan shield is a NG+ Item.
Really? I didn't knew it
Really? I didn't knew it
Really? I didn't knew it
What if we fight young kratos and/or deimos half way through it, when you defeat them you can play as them. Young kratos has the blades, deimos has the spear, and older kratos has the axe, if this happens i'll play the challenge of the Gods of Gow 1 no grabs/blocks
Imagine if Baldur also appears.
as soon as I saw it, I knew you were finna be happy when you woke up ahhaha.
it is surprising they took a reference in this part 3:20
and btw this DLC is out of nowhere
edit: also the music at 4:20 is very reminiscent of the old greek music themes
I hope its not timed challenges. I don't like being forced to speed through combat encounters.
Of all the past enemies you mentioned do you think it's possible to face Baldur again ?
Were the fook were yesterday man! I was waiting for OHKO.
Anywho old god of war song + aggressive kratos+ cyclops 🤩💯💯
i need to see kratos RIB THE EYE OF THAT CYCLOPS to be satisfied
21:53 Of all these names, HOW DID YOU FORGET *ARES*?!!!!!! 😂
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that
When was the last time zesty got this excited 😆 and in the trailer the gate way is back so i am assuming that we travel to other areas using the gate ( i don't know what the gate name is ) and one more thing if Thor is gonna be a boss how is he gonna fight? His daughter has his hammer
I’m so used to the radiance armor this will be a nice way to get rid of that crutch
What If each weapon will bring an OG or new Magic power ( but with CD probably not blue orbs ) as Square button is free without companion
Well that's too much to hope, but let's see
PlayStation recently drop a new trailer of Valhalla if you didn’t know
Edit: Excited to see you play !!!!
When I first seen the News I immediately thought of Zesty 🎉❤
2 days before the game saver dlc releases
I hope there are no companions. Those do NOT belong in God of War games. It was tolerable in the 2018 game. But they overdid it in Trashnarock.
Man I REALLY wish that this was it's OWN solo spin off game. But hey, at least it's free!!!
And.. Boom! Surprise! They include hardest part which is Ironwood, find those fruit on the river with Angrboda but using her slow cow animal.
Pleezie. Nozie.
Zesty doesnt Kratos' stance in the God of War Valhalla poster resemble God of War 2
Yeah Hades is a pretty good example of a rougelite, also Its actually fun asf
6:10 ALL FATHER GRANT US THE POWER WE SEEK IN YOUR NAAAMEEEE
Im surprised Zesty actually seems hyped for this.
Why not? My biggest problem with Ragnarok's base game was the game design. Main problem was always the "downtime". The abundance of it. Walky talkies, climbing, boaty talkies, standy talkies, puzzles, etc.

@ExtremeGameplays1 i just knew you looked down on Ragnarok im glad this has renewed your zest for the game.
So is this in some shape or form GOW2018 Niflheim 2.0 in terms of gameplay? Like, last as long as you can without dying?
