Kratos: have you ever seen a god named Hermes?
Heimdall: no
Kratos: wanna know why?
Cuz he has a dream
Cuz he lost his legs
a very good reference
I think I get it, Heimdall is kinda like Hermes, right?
@Marius also he is kinda swift at the beggining like Hermes
Bro got offered Kratos' mercy, and yet not only did he reject it, he even had the audacity to threaten to gut his son 💀
Kratos gave a lot of mercy even when he was young. He just wanted either Zeus or Ares and had no problem letting people go as long as they don't stand in his way.
@@NinjapowerMS kratos old days just reasonable person. he only pursue one olimpian as he said in gow 3
I dont think kratos wanted to fight hercules he couldve gone off scott free
@@redlor0258 Mate. You completely trying to forget that Kratos tried to reason with Hercules? Ignored Hera until she trash talked Pandora who he treated as a daughter? There's a lot more throughout the old games that is vivid memory to me at this point. Like I said Young Kratos had no problem letting people pass by as long as they don't stand against his way with Zeus.
@@redlor0258 Kratos tried to reason with some of the gods and demi-gods, as he still have some sort of respect for some of them though very little but instead of letting him pass they went out of their way to give kratos the middle finger. but most of the time kratos was completely impulsive and was acting on pure anger especially in GOW3 where his anger clouded most of his actions.
Heimdall: You think you can bring down Asgard?
*Sees in his last moments how he destroyed a pantheon stronger than his*
Heimdall: Well fuck me he actually can
😂👍🏽 true
Underrated comment LMFAO
Olympus was stronger than Asgard?
@@beatzdyer Indeed! That Pantheon were immortals, this one is just more war thirsty.
@@MSP_ what proof do you have of this?
10:23 Kratos missing the horn the first time was actually a legitimate mess up by Christopher Judge, but Director Eric Williams loved Kratos being a little in shock at the gravity of what he just did, so it stuck in the final game.
Now that's an interesting detail 😂😂
That's fun
I only just found out about this and came back here to watch the scene.
I thought that was not missing, he just un-strapped the belt then took the horn. Heimdall uses a belt to strap Gjallahorn y'know.
Oh I thought he unhooked a strap or something 😂
Damn. Heimdall just saw the Ghost of Sparta before he died. A fitting end for him.
He doesn’t deserve it, he was far to pathetic to deserve that kind of defeat. The only thing that sore losers like HeimDOLT deserves is to get gutted by the apathetic side Kratos, and then just simply forgotten like the worthless, cowardly, piece of shit he’s always been and always will to be for the rest of time.
'-and send their Souls (heimdall, this version for example) Screaming back to the *[Deep]* .' -- [O]-bearer GRDN-TN-Z, through a Strike mission Coms exchange.
@Aoteruz 'don't Murder the [messenger], Blindly.', as some say.
I just quoted a character's to fit into this subject.
Dude got lucky he didn't get what he saw. He got off light.
@@Supperdude9 '-got lucky he didn't get what he saw.'.
meanwhile, somewhere in this video some of us were just talking about that but kept debunking about that capability due to him only having such startling foresight, etc.
'heimdall can't read minds. he's gifted with foresight which means he can read your move with startling accuracy' -- from this one user who countered that similar comment who said things about 'him able to just briefly Saw the flashes of what kratos did to his first pantheon kill just before heimdall Permanently dies.' like that for example.
It's interesting to compare the reactions of Heimdall and Baldur when their invulnerability is threatened. Baldur appreciates it, while Heimdall is offended. Shows how far gone Baldur was by that point.
Also heimall said “you think you get to just walk away?” Unlike Baldur that said “you could’ve just walked away.”
Heimdall could still feel something compared to baldur who is pretty much unable to feel anything at all
to be fair heimdall CHOSE to not get hit he can still feel stuff like the cold or food
Baldur wasn’t gone…he went his entire life without feeling anything. His mom put a spell on him to protect him to where he couldn’t feel pain but he couldn’t feel anything. Pain, pleasure, happiness. He never got to experience sex or anything with feeling. So when he felt pain he appreciated being able to feel something. How the hell did you come away with that assumption lol
@@dominiquewilson anyone would have gone mad wdYm?
one thing i noticed, At 4:09 When Kratos finally lands the hit on Heimdall he grabbed his arm instead of trying to hit him. He anticipated he would try to block his haymaker and grabbed his arm throwing him off balance. Because he blocked in the series of blows before that one. That really shows how much of a tactical genius Kratos is.
Tho he came up with it most likely on the fly because otherwise Heimdall could have easily predicted such a move
Or ya know, Kratos is a skilled combatant
In another video I saw another comment who made an analysis of the fight and what Kratos did was just so impressive.
The summary of it was that Kratos repeated the same combo 3 times.
The first was to test his skill and how powerful was Heimdal’s insight.
The second was to see how well trained Heimdal was with his ability, Kratos repeated the combo just faster. If heimdal had perfected the ability he would’ve blocked the entire combo but he hit his braces realizing that heimdal never practiced to perfect the ability.
The final one was to land the hit. Realizing that Heimdal never practiced and used his power as a crutch he repeated the combo a final time tricking him and grabbing his arm to land a hit he never expected, confusing him and with it winning the fight from that point.
Santa Monica studios definitely outdid themselves, the Nordic saga is just wonderfully made
@@digitaldruglord1815 Buddy that is literally *what* the comment is saying💀 that is extremely tactical thing to do when you’re fighting a guy, who, yano..see what you’re going to do before you even know it?
Sun Tzu said "One may know how to conquer without being able to do it." Heimdall might be able to read Kratos' attacks, but just because you know you'll face an onslaught of brutal, overpowering strikes doesn't mean you can consistently defend against them, especially when your opponent is an experienced war god with anger management issues and twice as much muscle mass as you. Once a grizzly has locked you in a bear hug, knowing it'll break your spine a few seconds in advance won't help one bit.
I like how Heimdall gloats about feeling Kratos' frustration, withour realizing its actually bubbling up into anger. And an angry Kratos is a very, very dangerous Kratos
And a horny Kratos is a very ⭕️ button prompt Kratos.
He's probably upset because he's trying not to kill Heimdall, even though he probably wants to punch the life out of this proud-for-no-reason a**hole. He's trying to be a better person, and a good person won't kill other people if not for self-defense. That's why he spared him by the end of round 1. But Heimdall is a self-righteous, cowardly wretch who can only guarantee his victory if he fights against children, like Atreus or Thrud. He couldn't let someone do this to his fragile ego and decided to throw his life away for a non-existing chance of victory against a true god.
Dude was charging Kratos L3 + R3 meter and didn’t even realize.
Cuz the people who made the game made him do that lol wym?!!
Ironically, it was Heimdall’s own frustration that dulled his combat intuition
What’s crazy about this is that Hiemdall can read the mind and memories and thoughts of someone by looking into their eyes. When Mimir told Kratos “this isn’t who you want to be” I feel that definitely sparked memories of all of his past actions and as Hiemdall was looking into his eyes in his last moments he finally realized what Kratos really was, thus his last words being “Monster
This is the best explanation about it!
He defently saw how he killed helious and hermes lol.
I can’t imagine how many tries this is gonna take jack
@@rick503z nah bro he saw Kratos killing Poseidon 🤣
@@KingDizzo86 Nah, he most definitely saw the player pressing O on the Zeus fight 😂
When you realize that when Heimdall said "Monster" he wasn't calling him one, he was stating what he saw. He truly was the only being in Norse Mythology to actually see who and what the Ghost of Sparta was. The rest heard downplayed stories but Heimdall actually SAW young Kratos slaughtering the whole Greek pantheon as well as his own family, he truly saw a monster.
"Monster" also is a very specific choice of words. It's what Athena called him. He knew that word would hurt Kratos.
I also think Heimdall called him that because Kratos doesn’t want to revert to his old ways by ruthlessly murdering gods like a monster, but here he has no choice as he wants it protect his son. Heimdall saw that and called him a monster knowing Kratos doesn’t want to be one but is doing what he used to do.
I felt bad for kratos in this scene. He’s trying his hardest to overcome his old ways of the monster he used to be, and heimdall really hurt his feelings with that one word.
No, Heimdall saw Kratos`s own selfhate upon getting controlled by his anger.
He called him monster because he knew that would trigger him. Kratos was thinking "I`m not like this anymore" and Heimdall replied "you are, get mad"
@@papaoso8340 are you replying to me?
One thing I noticed while rewatching this is that the fight doesn't end with the player pressing R3 to do a finisher like you normally would, Kratos delivers the final blows all on his own. That's a really cool and subtle way to show how Kratos loses control in the heat of the moment and it makes the realization of what he's done hit even harder in the end
Interesting inversion of the end of the God of War 3 where the fight only ends when the player stops mashing the button to beat up Zeus which was also a way of showing how he was out of control. Like in that game it was to show how Kratos was fully responsible for his actions, but now in contrast he's basically on autopilot in his anger. Which kind of makes sense given that he's gotten old and become wiser but the whole god killing thing has just become routine for him at this point.
Ohhh
@@cookiebombcasualemail5284 also the little pos was talking sht about torturing his son to death so...
Dude threatened his son.
Kratos responds poorly to that.
He got so pissed, he really did say "I'm taking this into my own hands"
6:09 I just love the detail of how much pain he felt through his body when kratos put the spear into his arm. He practically begged him to stop because he never felt pain in his life before.
he did..he says during the fight that he remembers pain way worse
@@qwerttzizzi*I think he was talking about emotional pain deep down*
*Not physically brutal pain where your begging for it stop*
bro i would too
Oh, he remembers pain, and (unlike Baldur until his final battle) feels pain. But I don't think he ever dealt with the pain of a spear through his arm before.
@@mb2001he did not. Maybe a few hits but nothing more and especially a sharp weapon because of his ability.
I love how unlike the other asgardians who LOVE the thrill of fighting Kratos, Heimdall is genuinely mad that he was able to be challenged. Really shows how prideful he was. You'd think he'd be excited to finally find someone able to land a blow on him but nope. He throws a tantrum
His ego was hurt
Hi Repent Jesus Christ Loves You All John 3:16 😊
Hi Repent Jesus Christ Loves You All John 3:16 😊
Most bullies turn out to be cowards.
@@sleshstamp yes
God, there's something about actually *landing* that first punch that is so satisfying.
It's because you're up against someone that hasn't been touched in over a century as Mimir said taking him down with his ability of foresight was a huge *if* but as you seen foresight means nothing if you can't react fast enough
@@TheGamerClown also because Heimdall was a huge asshole the entire game
It's because Kratos was holding back. The first 2 times Kratos tries to hit him, his punches are slow, making Heimdall think he's not skilled. On the 3rd attempt, Kratos's punches are Insanely fast and well coordinated which caught Heimdall off guard.
And also the satisfying CRUNCH sound when Kratos finally socks that bastard
Heimdal: *dies*
Me: Inner Peace
I love the moment when kratos is throwing punches at Heimdall. He goes slow at first throwing absolute haymakers just to test out the speed, second time a little faster, tighter punches and eventually makes contact on the bracer with the left hook. Then the third time he just volume punches at high speed throwing a 6 punch combination and is able to predict Heimdall’s dodge before he makes it but finally catching him with a right overhand. So bad ass and such a great visual representation showing how kratos breaks down his enemies and their fighting styles. He’s not a mindless warrior, he is rather intelligent and uses it silently in battle.
That’s the difference between a strong fighter and an experienced fighter. Unfortunately for Heimdall, Kratos is both…
It's not that the 3rd round of fists was just faster, it learned off the 2nd by replicating it but altering the end where as opposed to the last punch being simply thrown he turned it into a grab to disarm his block and guaranteeing that last hit that did connect
@@JamesSavignac good read I didn’t even notice that. This is the best fight in the game in my opinion, the attention to detail here is astounding. And I especially love how the beginning is a fist fight that becomes an absolute nightmare of a fight for Heimdall, first time he’s legitimately challenged and hes killed immediately lol
he is literally just batman that’s insanely juiced and cant die, at that point ur kinda just unbeatable 😂
@@zm8w88bro plz don’t compare the god of war to Batman bro…..
I love that Kratos even decided to spare Heimdall after he threatened artreus's life. He didn't even want to kill him until he had no choice. Character development is 10/10.
agreeeedddd
He still had a choice. Heimdall didn’t seem like an actual threat to me. Kratos just lost his shit which is why Heimdall died which is why I’m so hooked on this fight.
@@notaulgoodman9732 Sure he could've cut all of Heimdal's limbs but that would've bee more cruel than just to end him for good.
They were at war and Heimdal was his enemy. But he gave him a chance to give up the fight but Heimdal's pride cost him his life.
I don't blame Kratos for killing him.
@@notaulgoodman9732He could still kill his son so he would never risk that.
@@notaulgoodman9732 bro how the hell does the guy who you know if anyone else was fighting they wouldn’t even be able to touch him, saying that he’s going to dedicate himself to *killing your son* as soon as he gets out of there, *not* a threat to you?💀 I’m trying to understand that logic.
Love how he didn’t want to kill him until he mentioned Atreus
Huh?
You threatened someone's loved one's you got yourself a funeral
@@coreywilson8161 arteus
@@arifinmustafa9320 I know who I was saying huh because I didn't understand what the person was saying
@@coreywilson8161
Atreus
Heimdall called Kratos a monster because when he looked into Krato’s eyes before dying (how he reads minds,) he saw Kratos’ old memories of killing the greek gods and what he did to Olympus. You can tell Kratos was thinking about these memories while choking Heimdall due to his face. Heimdall just so happened to witness all of it before he died, thus why he called him a monster.
Know right saw fear actual fear
@Tyler James Yes he can
@Tyler James Odin said “he reads minds for me,” not “Intentions.” He’s clever enough to know not to mix either of them up
@Tyler James fair enough
From what little I've seen of Kratos' "Ghost of Sparta" god kills, Heimdall got the tamest death he could from Kratos.
I love how all the Gods of all the games threaten Kratos and call him a monster and mock him and then are surprised when he beats them down. He killed you because you threatened his son/hurt his family like wtf do you expect 💀 and all of the Gods mocking him are just as monstrous if not more
Every god in the previous games said the same exact shit to Kratos. Their arrogance is beyond understanding.
It is normal why it is like that, remember this: Almost all gods and best example norse gods are born into a godly family were everyone is beneath them and much, much weaker. So they never needed to really learn to fight, loose, needing to really fight hard in a fight, do strategy etc. and all while their whole childhood is doing nothing and your family telling you how great you are and a god and you literally just do what thor does, drinking beer and that's it. And IF there is some problem you just go and beat it in 5 seconds without any need to really hit hard.
from odins own mouth: heimdall is very perceptive but sometimes forgets to think.
It's cuz they're so used to beating up mortals and weaker creatures and threatening their lives and families, and there's nothing they can do so they beg. They neglected the fact that Kratos too is a God, and one that does NOT beg.
@@wusscakeThey're gods. Arrogance goes with the territory. Heck, the only reason it isn't completely justified is cause Kratos is the protagonist.
Heimdall is the epitome of “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
There’s a big difference between being able to tell what someone will do, and being able to do anything about it.
Kratos’s face at 9:44 is straight from the old games when he was young. That’s the face of pure RAGE. Them eyebrows haven’t been that arched since he killed Zeus lol 😂
That's what I thought too lmfao
fuck that made me laugh man hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
That face reminds me when he killed Poseidon lmao
@@astronyxo7947 me too. That’s what it reminds me of when it’s Poseidons pov right before he gouges his eyes out
One thing I noticed is that from the moment you first punch Heimdall to the moment the fight is over, Heimdall's stun bar is always at max. It doesn't matter how much/little stun damage you do to him, it never changes. I believe this was a great way to demonstrate how Heimdall's senses became overloaded due to the fact that someone had actually hit him for the first time in forever. It's details like these that really make the boss fights great.
Man, I hadn't noticed, this must be why he dies so easily.
He is someone who relies on his talent too much and don’t really train to hone his skill.
There’s such ppl in our real world. Those who are very talented but lazy. And when their talent doesn’t work anymore..they panic
Wow i didn’t notice this bro, no wonder i couldn’t stun him anymore
@@meow7983 There’s someone exactly like Heimdall at my boxing gym. Fast and can dodge a lot of punches but is lazy and gets tired in fights so he loses sometimes.
Only reason Kratos hit him was because of the spear, without the spear Kratos is f*cked
6:03 Funny Heimdall says "Luck, that's all this is", because Draupnir indeed increases your luck stats the more you upgrade it.
Lmao that's a nice catch
Heyyy James nice to see ya
Heimdall had an absolute merciful death compared to the Pantheon’s
_Meanwhile, wherever gods go when they die..._
Heimdall: **complaining** He cut my arm off and choked me to death! Stop acting like that's normal!
Poseidon: Well, he beat me to an inch of my life, snapped my neck, and tossed me into the ocean!
Helios: He ripped my head off and used me as a flashlight!
Hades: **stays completely silent due to the lack of a soul**
Hercules: He beat me to death with my own weapon!
Hephaestus: He slept with my wife and killed me with the weapon I made for him!
Zeus: He punched me in the face for 15 hours straight until he was blinded by my own blood!
Heimdall: _Jesus Christ..._
@@leonardorolingstella8554 suddenly heimdall believes in jesus christ before he even existed, hearing the other gods 😂
@@raisasomaraki3870 Fine, he says "Holy Odin" instead.
@@leonardorolingstella8554 just to be clear, it was no offense. but holy odin seems fine too😂
Agreed, though if you ask me he deserved worse, if not exactly how the Greek Pantheons died
If you really think about it, Heimdall is the only person who has ever truly SEEN the Ghost of Sparta. All the other gods have merely heard stories of the Ghost of Sparta or just have an idea of what he is capable of. Heimdall, given his ability, is able to see people’s memories when he looks into their eyes and when he looked into Kratos’ eyes, he SAW what Kratos was, he saw THE Ghost of Sparta. He saw Kratos killing Baldur, Magni, Poseidon, Hermes, Helios, Hades, Ares, The Sisters of Fate, Thanatos, Persephone, Hercules, Perseus, Hera, Cronos, Hephaestus, Perses (Titan), Gaia, The Furies, Icarus, Charon, Theseus, Athena, Zeus, Callisto and his family. He saw it all in those last few seconds of life. He will forever be the only one in that realm to have ever seen what the Ghost of Sparta was truly capable of if you fucked with him.
Mas Eu Modifiquei a História Ks😂😎😃👍🏼👊🏼🎮🏆
I disagree, I will say mimir.
Reading that list was hilarious
He fucked around and found out
careful you might ejaculate with all that stroking you’re giving
It's these kinds of enemies that deserve the "old" Kratos. Just imagine, the pure rage and brutality of GOW3 Kratos vs these Asgardians. It would feel like a speedrun.
Shame the Norse pantheon is so damn weak it didn't even get Kratos to go seriously. Held back the entire two games lol
The reason why krato is too powerful in god of war 2 and 3 is because there are too many people who pray for him before they go to War, since he's the new god of war.
Plus he only grew stronger when the Olympian Gods declared war on him because the god of war feeds on Warfare making kratos the strongest god in all Greece.
@@NinjapowerMS weak? Odin and Thor are easily on Kratos’s level. Thor was holding back in their first fight and still stopped Kratos’s heart lol.
The lesser gods in Norse mythology is one thing, but figures like Jormungandr, Odin, Surtur, etc. are way more powerful in these games than you’re making them out to be
@@dannymac939 well Kratos didn't even go all out with that "Side yet" even Thor Admitted after his shock his heart in the first fight that Kratos held back by not Letting his "Beast" mode out
But Heimdall already giving what fans what, Kratos already let his glimpse of his past self out again
@@dannymac939 Lol second fight a somewhat Serious Kratos was holding back against a pissed off Thor. Trying not to kill him and absolutely mopped teh floor with him.
They're bums. Zeus actually killed Kratos and there's no fight in this game that got anywhere near close to the fight Kratos had with Zeus at the end of 3

Death can have me- When it earns me
*Damn* watching Kratos *strangle* Heimdall was truly terrifying
Out of all the gods killed this felt the most real. No spectacle, just pinned him down and choked the life out of Heimdall. The other kills felt more action inspired, this felt like a horror movie. The music cutting out as Heimdalls eyes go dark.......it left me in shock. Same as Kratos reaction
(Ediy: Someone pointed out that earlier in GoW ragnarok Heimdall looked into Thors eyes and said "you're a sick man". But when he looks into Kratos eyes all he says is "Monster" 😐)
Still a considerably more humane death than Kratos gave any other god. The old Kratos would have put a Draupnir Spear in Heimdall’s neck and then detonated it.
@KamektheMagikoopa1 that would have been quicker though, this way he made him look into his eyes for as long as possible
satisfying too
Dude you really need to see how Kratos killed Poseidon.
@@fissilewhistlenot to mention far more personal. He didn't just kill him, he felt the moment Heimdall died.
I love at 10:22 Kratos failing to pick up Gjallarhorn from his first attempt, such a small detail, yet it shows how full of adrenaline he was and the anger that he had to do this.
Actually it's not intentional it was actually Christopher judge getting slipped to picked the horn but he improvised by picking it immediately but the anger we're seeing was actually real, Christopher judge actually gets angry when the horn was slipped because it's one shot camera so 1 mistake it's gonna be doing the scene all over again but director Eric William decided to put it because it makes a depth to the character.

*Swing, swing, swing*
Kratos: Done!
@@heramaaroricon4738 discombobulate
Kratos be boxin hahaha
Heimdall’s last word shook Kratos way more then any of his attacks
Same thing Athena said, you will always be a monster
I got the chills at “this is your final warning…” I absolutely looooove the way that Kratos protects his son and how he loses it if you try and mess with him. Threatening the son of a guy who literally killed an entire pantheon of Gods and literally died 3 times, is not smart. Kratos is the ultimate bad ass and father of the year.
Some people says ''why all of a sudden after the first strike Heimdall can be hit by normal attack after'' . Imagine you've been living literally thousands of years, been part of hundreds of fights, and never once you ever got hit by anything what so ever. You come into this fight with full confidence because you can't see how this would go any different than all of the previous, but then this time, for the first time, you get punched in the face 1 min into it, by no less than another god who killed a dozen of gods before you. Your confidence vanishes, confusion and fear starts to take the spot left by confidence. What you've been doing all your life will not work here, and you know it. The damage is done, the mind is shattered and overwhelmed with questions, stress and fear. Your senses are overwhelmed. A nice touch is that from this first strike on, you can use the axe and blade just fine for the rest of the fight. His mind has been taken out, the inevitable awaits.
Pretty sure Heimdall said he's been hit before, just not in a long time.
@@Demonmatamon He said he couldn't remember the last time he got hit.
@@a2thek914 doesn't that sort of imply that he's been hit before? I could be wrong
@@Demonmatamon Obviously he was hit before, that's a no brainer but that doesn't change anything, what the guy said was perfectly on point and I don't see what you were trying to do with your reply
@@williamrobert9898 wasn't trying to be an ass, I was just clarifying because I literally just finished that part.
He made Hermes look like a saint lmao. He got off easy with how he died.
i am not a lore expert, but Hermes was just a messenger so he never really fought nor he had any skill to fight. Heimdall on the other hand is basically Hermes alternate account.
Yeah I was it was more brutal
Hermes fought alongside gods in the great battle against titans in gow 2
@@RandomVs189 he’s talking about god of war 2. Kratos stole his boots by literally cutting off his legs he took so much pride in.
Kratos really has changed lol. Heimdall would have been teared apart by gow 3 Kratos...
9:54 At that very moment Heimdall saw the beast that burned down Olympus the one whose name commanded respect and spread fear through the hearts of mortals beasts and gods. The monster that gouged the eyes and snapped the neck of Poseidon. The monster the ripped the soul out of a screaming hades. The monster that ripped off the screeching head of Helios. The monster that tore the legs off of Hermes. The monster that caved in the head of Hercules. The monster that sliced the stomach and impaled the titan Cronos. The monster that snapped the neck of Hera like a twig. And the monster that beat Zues the king of Olympus to death with his bare hands. Heimdal saw the Ghost of Sparta the mortal made a god. The mortal that survived Zeus wrath. Heimdal saw “Death the destroyer of worlds”
and he should be happy that's his death was a tame one compare too all the Greeks gods and Monsters Kratos had Killed.
Something a lot of people dont notice with Kratos' last flurry of punches before he hits Heimdall, is that he does the same pattern as the 2nd time but instead of hitting Heimdall's bracer he grabs his arm and then hits him with a right hook.
Heimdall: STOP STOP
Also Heimdall: oh, you’re just going to spare me out of pity
Also Heimdall: you’re a monster for killing me
😂😂
I like to think it was the very first time heimdall actually felt REAL pain, not just getting hit but this was a spear cutting through his arm. I think he was obviously very surprised to feel how it felt to actually be hurt like that. hence the sudden "OKAY, STOP, STOP!" lol.
All bullies are hypocrites
heimdall seemed more bothered by the pain than the prospect of losing.
@@connorhilchie2779 fax, i felt that in class
For some reason, hearing Mimir seem to finally realize that those "Ghost of Sparta" tales were, if anything, DOWNPLAYED as to be MORE believable makes me smile. Kratos does not snap often anymore...but when he does, you are categorically dead, and there is NOTHING that ANYONE can do to stop it.
agreed.. they didnt give how many scenes of, 'old'(young) Kratos, but what he does to Heimdall at the end is definitely one of.. and even then, i feel like the choke out was a mercy.. old Kratos wouldve just kept punching.
@@curious_ember also agreed, old Kratos wouldn't of flipped him over until he was a puddle either on the screen or the floor
@@Skelyos Exactly.
I mean, look at Hercules, and he did have some sort of respect for him.
Imagine if Heimdall fought against young Kratos, we would be collecting Remnants of Heimdall instead.
@@joaosanto156
That's not the point
The point was even if young kratos had no grudge with anyone, he'd still kill them to an unnecessary if they're
A. In his way
Or
B. If it benefited him
(Bonus if they threatened someone he cared about)
Best examples are icarus and hercules
Young kratos didn't have to kill icarus but figured his wings would be useful and he had no bad blood with hercules but since he was in the way kratos grinding him into mulch.
So hypothetically if it was young kratos, heimdall would just be in the way of kratos since outside of gjallarhorn. Heimdall is just another obstacle
@@kanati1133 If the former Kratos had his hands on Heimdall's throat, he would have performed a Helios on him. And walked around with Heimdall's head -- his heightened senses would probably have given Kratos some in-game advantage. 😉
Heimdall was such an awesome villain. His boss fight was great, too. It was hard but not too hard.
The Ghost of Sparta coming out at 9:35 with the double-handed overhead hammer swing to plant Heimdall's head into the dirt at mach 4 speeds is orgasmic to put it nicely 😂. Sometimes a lion has to roar to remind the rest of the animals what he is.
From the rate heimdall's health is going down, we can all now see he's a glass Cannon. He can dish out large amounts of punishment and it's hard to get a beat on him, but the moment you're able to crack him in the jaw he starts to fall apart not just physically but mentally as well
Yeah along with how the more hits Kratos lands, the more open Heimdall leaves himself and how often he does it
i would say its not on a really high difficulty either i remember him taking less damage and doing a lot more damage when i did the fight on a high difficulty
@@Dreamscythe1 my analysis was more based on the character of Heimdall in conjunction with the fight. This is a guy whose mental composure under fire is almost non-existent. He's used to not getting hit and the moment he does he doesn't quite know how to handle it, which is even more evident in part two of the fight when he starts lashing out like a wild animal.
@@Dreamscythe1Not gameplay but in terms of the actual Threat and lore of the game and series
He's basically Narcis Prince from Super Punch-Out
Heimdall’s death may not be very brutal compared to the previous games, but it’s worth noting how quickly he died when Kratos lost his shit and threw his mercy plans out the window.
Once Heimdall threw dirt in his face and he snapped, he killed Heimdall in seconds with his bare hands.
Goes to show that while Heimdall is just a strong God, Kratos was a war veteran before becoming one.
Kratos had plot Draupnir. Without that, Heimdall would in fact be untouchable, and would've beaten Kratos without getting hit. Proof? Try fighting him without using the Draupnir explosions.
@@TheStraightestWhitest true. Though, would be funny if devs would left an option to beat him without touching the spear and it would be super hard, but possible
if Mimir Didn't tell Kratos to stop. Heimdall death would be more Brutal.
@@TheStraightestWhitest that's literally impossible then like the whole point of draupnir is that it's a heimdall contingency
I love how everyone seemingly forgot about Draupnir’s ranged attack and explosive ability at first and tried it only after trying to impale him with the spear
I was using axe, blades and spear combos, runick attacks everything just enjoying how he was didging everything only to realize after a minute or two that i went on a whole mission to get the spear's eangwd attacka for this exact purpose lol

This depiction of Heimdall is top notch. People seem to think that his ego and abrasiveness are insufferable, but we're talking about a God who can see right into your mind and true intentions. He knew Kratos and Loki would bring nothing but ruin to the Aesirs, yet his warnings were ignored. He has every right to be both smug and hostile. A world ending prophecy where he and everyone he's associated with is going to die is about to come true, and he can clearly see who's going to be responsible for it.
You really won't find a better gate guard than him. Mind you, he even knew when Atrues was climbing the wall and when the boy was going to slip. He's not a fool at all.
for me he had certain potential to be more than just a final violent enemy to kill but this is GoW so "redemption" for a person is never really an option unless that person is kratos
he makes Baldur and Thor look like Model Citizens
He did not read Kratos until kratos was choking him he can’t look into the eyes mud fight it takes time
@@robertcastanpn288 He doesn't need to. If he can sway his head out of the way of lightning without looking at Thor's daughter, then he doesn't need eye contact to know what you're going to do. Plus, there's 3 minutes of dialogue before Kratos begins fighting him and they're definitely making eye contact while talking.
He was a top notch character, first time I met him I knew he was almost like Baldur.
9:37 now that is some hit
Yep. I mean, it's so hard that Mimir was thrown off of Kratos' hips
7:32 first time I heard that line, I thought he said "You do not get to decide my face!" makes sense, given the massive cut from that first hit.
I’m sure heimdall was able to read kratos mind before he died and saw what he did to olympus and hence called him a monster
Heimdall can’t read minds, he’s gifted with foresight which means he can read your move with startling accuracy

Same man I was looking for a comment on that part. Two thumbs fr, it’s like he’s thinking shit It didn’t really need to go there.
Did he miss or unclip it?
@@YoKyvo he reached down to grab it, his grip slipped a little, then on the second attempt he got it. The horn itself is on a leather strap, and you can hear it snap
Same
He almost let it go The Ghost of Sparta in a true state. It’s terrifying… For Asgard.
Kratos became a monster because of Ares; he's responsible. On the final day of Ares's life, they fought, and Kratos spoke to him, saying, "I am not the same man you found that day because the monster you've created has returned to kill you."
I strongly believe that Kratos is still a good man and has a heart.
Fight with Heimdall reminds me in GoW 3, where Kratos fights Hermes. The overconfident and arrogant.
And yet, Heimdall got it the luckiest; Hermes is rolling in… whatever kinda grave there is now (fuckin’ Greece got destroyed; Idk) since all Heimdall got was being choked to death.
Its a moment with Mimir as well. He's heard of the Ghost of Sparta, the Bane of Olympus, but we literally hear him say that he thinks those stories were exaggerated. This is the first time even Mimir really fully understood what Kratos is capable of
Right? It's almost like Mimir was SAD finding out the stories weren't exaggerated. Like when he was telling Kratos that he didn't have to kill Heimdall, it was like he just didn't want to see Kratos do it, rather than because they needed to prevent Ragnarok.
With Baldur, Mimir could understand why Kratos killed him. Baldur wouldn't have stopped until he'd killed Freya, making his death almost necessary. But with Heimdall, Kratos just kills him because he was too proud to give up. It wasn't necessary for Heimdall to die, and I think that's why Mimir was so desperate to try and talk Kratos down
@@thomasnolastname8734 that's not true at all. Kratos killed him because not thirty seconds prior after SPARING Heimdall, Heimdall said he was gonna kill his son.
Kratos wasn't about to let that happen, so he killed him.
@@Happyfoam-lw3yt yeah, remember in the last god of war, baldur threatened to killed atrues many times, and when he mentioned it, kratos is literally mad.
well this is nothing compared to the others
It's interesting how Heimdall reinforce what the Norns said to Kratos before: after being defeated he had a choice, he could accept the pity and surrender or continue to fight.
His fate was in his hands.
What caused his death was not a prophecy it was his nature, his pride and his inability to accept that someone could be so much stronger than he could afford to spare him.
Basically he shows that you can't change your fate if you don't change yourself.
Beautifully said, and a lesson we should all take to heart.
Prophecies are mean to happen not matter what,not in the same way as is written but it will happen anyway.
For example Kratos received help from the oracle to defeat Ares because the oracle had prophesied that the god of war would bring the destruction of Olympus.
When Ares was defeated it was supposed to be the end of the prophecy......but Kratos became the god of war and destroyed Olympus.
Imagine if Odin could've taught Heimdall to be more humble. Pfft.
It's a good point.
@@DR-ng7oh odin was mad enough to kill his own son
7:26 Bro just went full-TOTK
7:10 Same quote and voice actor of Flash.
This was one of the best fights I have ever played in both new GoW titles, Heimdall was easy to hate on because of his arrogance and sadism, but damn seeing Kratos go back to his old way brought back memories to me of playing the original games, how young and angry he was at everything and everyone.
Mimir's reaction was completely realistic, like damn WTF Kratos?! Then again, Heimdall's pride was his own downfall, he went too far
That said, Mimir doesn't really hold it against you afterwards - likely as he was also there to hear Heimdall basically say "For offering me mercy and hurting my pride, I will not agree to take the L and go home, but instead promise to gut [his literal word choice] your child."
All things considered he got off friggin' easy after directly threatening Boy.
heimdall threatend kratos son it was at that moment mercy was out of the question
@@adad87821 I was about to say this. Kratos was going to leave him until he started threatening his son. The death of his family by the hand of another god flashed before his face.

I feel like this was the most Ghost of Sparta moment this game had, and it being treated like a bad thing is completely in line with Kratos’ character arc.
For all intents and purposes, Heimdall had it coming, still doesn’t make Kratos reverting back to the person he swore he would never be again a good thing.

Idk why but people are saying its an ok game
But for me its actually an masterpiece . The character development, storyline,the quotes and the emotions
I fell in love with the game
and the stories about asgard and those gods and all that....mann thats awesome
This is an unforgettable game and value for money ❤❤i love it❤
It's fine to think it's a masterpiece. I think the previous GoW was better personally. A lot of it has to do with how disappointing Odin was as a villain and how rushed the game felt in terms of pacing. GoW 4 spent a LOT of time talking up how scary and crazy Odin was and how he was watching everybody's every move and he had all these plans in store, and then we get to this game after expecting him to be this big foreboding badass, and he's mostly just an insane, frail old man (he literally looks like my grandfather walking out of a pub) who does a lot of scheming and undermining. We get a boss fight with him and idk, it felt reaaaaallly easy compared to everything else the game had to offer, and this is supposed to be the alleged HEAD of the norse pantheon. Feels like we needed a game in between 4 and Ragnarok to get time with Odin seeing him do all this crazy scary evil shit and PROVE that he's as intimidating as you made him sound in the previous game. The best part about the game is the character development of Kratos and how he develops BECAUSE of Atreus' influence on him as well and how he and Freya related to each other about their pasts. Everything else? Pretty meh imo.
I saw somewhere that Kratos is testing Hiemdall with the three attacks before you are able to damage him, and you can see it. The first involves slow and wide attacks to gauge his foresight. The second uses quick precise strikes to see how fast Kratos needs to be to hit him (this is the first time he makes contact). The final attack is to see if Hiemdall has any true combat experience outside of his foresight (Kratos is able to land a textbook counter attack on Hiemdall; an attack any true fighter would have been prepared for).
Sounds like rubbish to me. The first two attacks are near the same. It also doesn’t make sense that Heimdall would be able to fight you at all or that he would have a second phase with cinematics of him beating you up, or dialogue about his sword
I don’t think you have to make up vague reasons as to why Kratos is actually better than everyone he fights and just doesn’t try. Sounds like it makes the story worse imo. Also a vague source like "read somewhere" shows why this theory lacks reason
@@jessepinkman5702 Eh, I 100% think Kratos was sizing him up. The three attacks are different enough and Kratos gradually adjusts his strikes each time until he can land one. There are so many details in these games, there's a good chance this was intentional
@@Tony_Pesta That works, I just don't like calling Heimdall weak because he's an asshole character
@@jessepinkman5702nobody's calling Heimdall weak. His foresight is incredibly powerful and he uses it very well. Seeing someone's about to punch you in the face doesn't mean shit if you're not fast enough or skilled enough to dodge, both of which Heimdall is. However as Freyr's VA once said on a different show, having superpowers is cheating. Cheating can only get you so far. Heimdall's powers are a crutch. Thousands of years of relying on his foresight has made a poor combatant when his one advantage is nullified. He even says that he's not sure when the last time he used his sword was. He's very powerful and very strong. He is not however very skilled. And that's why he loses
I don't think the developers used all of this logic
I like how Kratos catches up with Heimdal at each attempt
3:03 - 1st attempt, couldn't even touch him, but got an idea of his speed.
3:21 - 2nd attempt, atleast touches him, landing a blocked hit.
4:07 - 3rd attempt, speeds up so much that Heimdal can't act as quickly as he foresees.
that's battle IQ, he learn so fast
Actually on the third move, he just did something extremely obvious, he grabbed his wrist and pulled him to his punch.
Honestly, I know they were trying to be cautious but, even faster than kratos, he's just too much for poor ol heimdall XD
Also the 3rd combo Kratos did was the same one he did the 2nd time. He just baited heimdall into thinking he’s gonna use the same move so that when heimdall blocked with his right hand again he would know what to do
thanks for saving best moments 😂
@@kunzat4198 You can tell from the combinations Kratos is throwing. I like how in the 3’rd attempt he uses the same combinations as he’s 2’nd. And Heimdal knows this and dodges confidently, but the moment Heimdal goes for the block as he knows what punch Kratos is going to throw, Kratos grabs his arm and punches Heimdal’s face.
Step 1: Yes, Heimdall grabbed the spear, use the moment to stun him. Afterwards, see what works and test him with slow yet powerful punches.
Step 2: use the spears Heimdall deflected to stun him since he is still focused on you. Afterwards, use more speed and less power in your punches. You almost land a hit, but he had to block it with his bracers, so speed is working.
Step 3: He is more aware of the spears, use the area to set up a trap for Heimdall, let him walk into the spears. Afterwards, speed is key, use a flurry of fast yet ferocious punches.
Step 4: Heimdall is completely stunned, shocked, and therefore, sloppy. Now time your attacks after you dodge or parry, but still be patient.
Step 5: He is now like any other boss fight, nonstop offense with little defense. Do what you do best.
Step 6: This dude starts threatening Atreus and threw some dirt in you eyes. Enough is enough. Pound him down into the ground in seconds. SEE THE F-ING GOD OF WAR!
Bonus tip: if you can, go full ape mode on him with your anger issues.
Jacksepticeye approves these instructions.
I also waited for him to make the first move before actually fighting him. I also used bare handed attacks for the remainder of the fight when heimdall ate the first punch, just to rub salt on his wounds.
One of my favorite things about the fight is at the beginning when you get hit by the unblockable sword attack, Hiemdall doesn’t swing all the way through, allowing Kratos to block it while Hiemdall laughs and pushes Krato’s arm off. But once your allowed to hit Hiemdall with melee attacks,when you get hit with the unblockable, he fully swings hitting Kratos in the face instead of swinging half ass allowing Kratos to block the attack before.
Most satisfying kill in the game. 9:43 that face, straight from the older days.
Truly
Throwback to poseidons death
The only part that missing is kratos scope out his eyes to use as a lamp
This is why its the boss i like alot. Dude brought back the former Kratos for à moment
good ol dayz
After a year I just noticed this:
Firstly he catches the draupnir spear not knowing its capabilities.
After the first R3 he blocks it with his sword then.
And after failing again and Kratos does his fury of punches Heimdall not only blocks but dodges out of place. Cool detail on him trying to adapt to danger.
Noticed that aswell
Idk if it was mentioned, but when Kratos tells Heimdal that it was his last chance to surrender, you hear his voice crack. The nigh impenetrable facade Kratos had put up, the image that even Kratos himself had been accepting as what he was now, finally broke. Earlier on, he kept the Ghost in check, but by that point, Heimdal's arm blown off and threats on Atraeus's life, the Ghost of Sparta appeared and said "let me show why this man left his home, the reason why he hides"
I just looked back and noticed it! Good job 👏
Now that's poetic
I just love how Freya leaves without saying: “Good luck”, “I hope you make it” or anything related to that because she knows he’s already won the fight. Truly a masterpiece of a game.

Mimir needs to realize that Heimdall wasn’t one to leave alive. If Kratos spares someone and they still threaten to gut his son, any father would’ve put him down for good. Also 9:33 is a great example of how much of Kratos’ rage is restrained. He went from parring him to utterly kicking the shot out of him in a split second.
Looks like Heimdall threw dirt in Kratos' face, which clearly wasn't a good plan.
I figured killing him was the same as killing Baldur, not really a want. But they’re too dangerous to just keep alive
But he also snapped. So that helps

I love how Heimdall can read minds and he just asked kratos about what was going on in his head , meaning he can really empty his head even when his son is in danger
Kratos was running on pure instinct and muscle memory. Put Heimdall at a HUGE disadvantage.
Someone commented that in greek mythology that there are 2 god of wars. Athena and Ares, Athena is the god of war but the side of strategy and Ares god of war of destruction. So Kratos being a god of war is just pure anger and rage theorizing that Heimdall just saw in his mind was clouded by rage. That's how Kratos was able to land a punch on him making Heimdall for the first time have doubts and focus on his own thoughts while not focusing in Kratos mind.
He reads their intentions, not minds

One of my favorite fights in the game. Heimdall was such a fun and hateable villain brought to life by such an excellent performance. The fight was also mechanically creative. Figuring out I need to use the explosions the spear makes to stun Heimdall was a nice "ah-hah!" moment. He was also the toughest main story boss for me. It really felt like I was fighting the best the Aesir had to offer.
I liked your gameplay, it made the fight seem more even.
The music was also great. Especially in Phase 4 where it sounds so unhinged and desperate.
I also love how he changes each time we use the spear.
The first time we use the spear he catches it and we detonate it.After that he parries it to the ground and when we explode it on the ground.And after that he moves out of the way everytime he parries it
3:43 Me dodging my lustful desires
Okay, I cannot lie. I respect Heimdall. He was a mad shit talker but he still wanted the smoke and never begged for his life. Also Mimir should take this with a grain salt as the death choke is honestly the tamest/cleanest kill we've seen Kratos do compared to his usual "creative" methods of killing someone that pisses him off
He wanted the smoke because he really thought he couldn’t be beat. If he thought there was even a chance he could be beaten, he wou don’t have fought kratos. But then again he doesn’t have a slight perception of loss because of his abilities, so even knowing kratos’s full story probably wouldn’t shake him up because he’s entitled.
Honestly thought he'd give the yapping shit the Helios treatment, screaming and all.
@@dk5968 No cap, Heimdall deserved that over this

Not to mention the fact that he missed the horn. For someone whose actions are usually so full of purpose, this is the truest expression of horror.
He KNOWS how badly he fucked up that he can only grunt at Mimir when he expresses his total disappointment. My god, the devs did incredibly with this scene.

@@leolusanez5378 TBF, Heimdall brought this on himself. Proving whatever has nothing to do with when someone threatens your child to your face. When you know that person is sincere enough to carry out that threat, all bets are off.
Judge put up one of the best video game performances EVER!!!
The little detail when Kratos miss the horn the first time he try to grab it show how traumatized he is after what happen are just perfect
I’d like to imagine the reason Draupnir is affective against Heimdall is that not only does the spear make multiple copies of itself, but that each copy is made up of multiple rings stacked together. With all of those object’s futures and possibilities running through Heimdall’s mind, it probably overwhelms him and causes him to slip up on what he assumes may be safe plays.
This might be one of the least brutal kills Kratos has ever done, but it is definitely one of the most emotionally driven. The way Kratos grounds Heimdall with only two punches to the face and then clubs him again with both forearms and proceeds to bash his head against the ground and strangle him might be very tame compared to almost everything Kratos has done, but the way he *delivers* those hits is so visceral and you can tell it’s because of Heimdall’s consistent threatening of his son.

I don’t think enough credit is given to how Mimir is portrayed in this moment. He sounds so shocked and frightened at finally seeing the old nature of Kratos and also afraid of the consequences that will follow the death of Heimdall O.o
Very late response, but me personally, I think it's actually kinda brutal because of the fact he wanted to watch him die. Every other enemy, Kratos kills quickly and efficiently, but here? He wanted to watch Heimdall slowly die while looking him in the eye, not as bad as say him looking at poseidon in the eyes before gouging them out, but still. That and the fact that he just leaves his body there, which is a small, but good detail as most bosses disappear when killed, yet Heimdall's corpse doesn't and brings and eerie feeling, especially when Kratos just tosses it over like nothing. Such a threat turned into just another corpse, or maybe I'm geeking way too much😂
9:35 Goddam bro that double punch from Kratos was so brutal 😭😭
Yeah the double punch was brutal. Not the part where he slams Hiemdall’s head into the ground three times or the part where he is choking him out and Hiemdall tries to break out of it but realises it’s hopeless so he looks into Kratos’ eyes to see who he really is and saw (most likely) Kratos killing his family or Zeus or Poseidon, or Hermes leaving him with one last word “Monster”.

People keep saying Heimdall is fast but I don’t think most people realize that his power is foresight, he can see attacks before they come. I wouldn’t say he’s faster than any of the other gods. He just predicts his opponent’s movements so he can avoid them with ease
He’s probably still pretty fast, just not as fast as people think.

For the people complaining shutup yeah we all wanted to see him beat heimdall into a bloody pulp but we didn't get over it crybabies..
Can we talk about how crazy kratos combos are
Heimdall reminds me of Hermes. Only twice as arrogant.
4:06 favorite scene in the whole fight
If you give God a little blood, people will quickly stop believing in him.
How satisfying the hit was to
He was shocked to see that he got hit guess he didn't know about the ghost of Sparta
@@markrios7748 Kratos said *"U have any idea how fast i am?!?!?"*
Heimdall is reverse Baldur lmao
Baldur: OH MY GOD I GOT HIT. AND FELT IT. YES
Heimdall: bro what the fuck
Someone pointed this out to me, and I'm just watching this back and realizing he is right.
At 3:03 Kratos gages him to see what his foresight is capable of close range. He uses slow and powerful blows, and heimdall dodges with ease.
At 3:20 Kratos strikes much faster, and realized that Heimdall's combat experience is limited. Kratos learns he can indeed make contact, leaving Heimdall somewhat open and showing that his foresight doesn't make him untouchable.
At 4:07 Kratos strikes with speed alone, and very up close. He swings faster than Heimdall can foresee until he forces Heimdall to block, where he counters and actually hits him. Kratos won the fight right there, as Heimdall started to question himself, and he slipped up more and more as the fight went on.
Yup. Fear killed his mind and then his body once Kratos sussed him out.
I like the last two are similar haymakers but the second one had a twist because he knows he can hit his arm but turns it into a grab instead so he can secure a punch. That is some serious battle iq, expect no less from a god of war.
Yes because the stuns from the spear kept over populating his senses. The whole point of the fight. Once he lost focus it was easy work for Kratos lol.
Jus cuz u can see it don't mean u can dodge it 🤷🏽♂️
that guy is an absolute legend, so are the game devs
The beat down from 9:36 was so insane even Mimir had to get a better angle to watch this
ive noticed after countless fighting heimdall, kratos was actually trying to judge how far he can actually see. The times when kratos was trying to punch him and then it slowed down meaning kratos was close to hitting heimdall and kratos grabbed that info because he went wide attack first and then the second time he tried to hit heimdall he sped up his attack and did short attacks and then exactly the same thing happened, heimdall ducked again and the cutscene slowed down showing how far heimdall can see and heimdall had to block which then kratos grabbed that information and i also noticed he goes "hmmmm" afterwards and the third time around, kratos sped up more at close range and ACTUALLY HIT HIM 😭😭
idk i love conspiring theories on how kratos actually operates now
So no kratos wasnt trying to hit him at all in the first 2 tries, kratos was testing heimdalls sight 😭
Kratos is one of the few people in history to have defeated a Sharingan user in one-on-one combat
Nah, I think the effect would've been different if Heimdall had the Sharingan. Sharingan reads the target's body, while Heimdall's foresight reads his targets person's mind. If he had the Sharingan, he'd probably have been able to read Kratos's hand going for the grab on that block, or at least the subsequent punch. Even if he still couldn't avoid it, he would've actually seen it coming instead of being so surprised. Same exact thing happened to Sasuke vs. Rock Lee during that unofficial challenge before the Chunin Exam.
Rock Lee was faster, so Sasuke couldn't keep up, but his eyes could still see the movements, then again when he developed his 3rd tomoe vs. Naruto, his sight improved and he could see the body's potential future movements, which are limited by muscle force load, vs. Heimdall who can only see a person's planned movements. To give a concrete example, under equal footing, Heimdall could beat Vegeta, but not Goku, because Vegeta is a focused fighter while Goku is an instinct fighter.

@@jabrark5828 Heimdall apparently doesn't read minds, he reads the actions of the opponent.
@@jeanduresau wait, that doesn't entirely make sense, because by the logic of the fight with Kratos, Heimdall's opponents have to be aware of the actions they're making in order for him to read them. That's why he didn't anticipate the grab that Kratos pulled him into, which led to the first hit, isn't it? I'm pretty sure that his officially recognized foresight ability is to read the opponent's intended movements by making eye contact, which is why movements of randomness or instinct can bypass his ability. And actually, I think that's why the mud from Atreus's arrow surprised him in that one scene where Thor steps in. I haven't played the game myself yet, so correct me if I'm wrong.
@@jabrark5828 You're definitely wrong, he just read people's actions and intentions, and no, he wasn't surprised at all by Atreus shooting an arrow to his back, the only reason of why Kratos was even able to hit him was the spear, that was designed to overwhelm Heimdall specifically.
I just love how Kratos can make the gods tremble in fear and confussion right before he kills them. Makes them feel that they are just mortal humans with powers and nothing special.
When a god fight against another god they are basically the same as human vs human
I mean that is how the Norse gods are often depicted, just humans with superpowers
I guess you could say kratos is the equalizer of gods now😅
In Norse Mythology, the Aesir, Vanir, and other assorted beings are, indeed, mortal. They can die, and Odin literally states as much. "Dying is what we Aesir live for." But for the Greek Gods? He absolutely did equalize them, make them feel like mortals. Which is even more impressive than you think because, as the Greek Gods were, they were theoretically immortal. There was never supposed to be a cataclysm in Greece. There were no doomsday prophecies that'd destroy the Pantheon. Kratos defied that fate, defied the canon of the Greek mythos, and basically brought down the Untouchables.
That's the Norse mythology. They are all mortals with powers. Not immortals like the Greeks, Egyptians, and Japanese.
