Remember that Atreus grew up in those woods, secluded from the outside world. To him, Kratos' absurd strength is his benchmark for what an ordinary person can do.
possible spoiler - Don't read following comments, they are just spoilers lol His mother too, I don't remember if they reference that in this game or only the second..
Shield : yellow flash means block JUST BEFORE being hit to parry. Red flash means unblockable and you must evade. Don’t stand still. Move around. Work on increasing vitality. It increases your overall health and reduces how much you are staggered when getting hit and recovering. Do more side quests, especially the ones for brok and sindri. They give really good armor, enchantments, xp, dialog, etc Don’t turn your back on enemies. Keep them in front the best you can. Blades are great for crowd control. Personally, I only use lock on for single enemies such as boss fights and Odin’s hidden chamber enemies, which you MUST get better at parrying AND evading for those 🙃) What a great story, and it’s about to turn up from here…
Part 9 and people are still giving them the same tips they've gotten since part 1.. If they haven't learned how to parry/block efficiently or how the colored circles work by now then they never will. I gave up trying to teach them when to best lock on to enemies.
Block more often, guys - block is very powerful. There's only a handful of things you can't block, and most of them will be indicated with a red flashing ring.
Yessir!!, aye yall don’t be too pressed about hacksilver and XP those come in abundance it’s the other things that should be worried about And PS, when you see the red arrow at the waist just tap X to get out of the way it’s easier than just trying to block all of the time
hey, if atreus has never seen anyone else, the fact that his dad is super strong is the normal, not the unusual experience. to him everyone should be able to pick up a full tree, cuz everyone he knows can do it.
The Great Winds of Hel Run of 2024 will never be forgotten - I think that soldier might of been easier lol. Also, you guys don't have to upgrade a runic attack to be able to use it. Can use whichever any time. Love the journey gamers!
I really want to see these guys playing Mario party for a Xmas special for the gaming channel. Seeing these guys play that for Xmas would be one hell of a treat. Keep it up guys. Hello from Liverpool, UK
Ah... you left Freya's home too soon, even Atreus disappointed (this game just so detail), Freya will telling the story about how her relationship with Odin and how she live under a giant turtle
Use superior resurrection stones to continue boss battles if they health is close and you die, they be more clutch than the restart checkpoint button IMO🤷♂️
Gentlemen enjoy the game don't worry about getting everything right. You won't finish this game without dying or doing something the wrong way. Just have fun give us the honest reaction that's what we are here for. Don't think about viewers getting angry about something wrongfully done.
forreal like people have been watching gameplays on youtube for over a decade now. audiences are used to and enjoy seeing someone fail and learn. idk why they still think for some reason that failing something twice is something people will get bored of. No! play it out. some of the best gameplay channels out there are of people failing/raging
It begins now that Kratos told Atreus that he is a God plus imagine how hard it was for Kratos to keep that secret because everything that happened in Kratos life in Greece 1000 years ago
Still saying, yall should be doing more side missions. Help give you all more experience playing and would make it a more enjoyable experience for all of us and yourselves too.
Oak need to play slower and aware surrounding, he missed so many vases and stuff can be destroy along the way and mason quin need to learn how to use a shield
25:23 That bird sound means there is an Odin's Raven nearby. You've already missed a few of them but don't forget to hunt them down when you hear them.
38:35 thats Hrae-Svelgr aka "Corpse Eater". Big ol Jotunn whose wings create the cold winds that blow from the north. One of my fav norse mythology characters
You guys should do the side missions. You dont have to follow story first. Look at your map and see all your chests and items to collect percentage. Each realm needs to be completed. Better to upgeade faster for the main story.
2:20, if Kratos had a gun. He would probably want something like a beefed, supersized AK-47. "Pain we endure, faulty weaponry we do not." He would want something good at range, with great stopping power, and most of all reliability. So, if a typical AK-47 is a .20 or .30, you know what, just mod a Mock-Dues, so he can use it as a CLUB, and he`d be alright.
It amazes me how Quinn can use the sheild to fail the same puzzle for 30 minutes but never use it once in battle. I am screaming in my head. 🫠 every enemy is unbeatable if you stand still and take every hit.
Gotta parry those yellow flashing strikes with a block at the right time guys, very effective way of not taking damage while giving you a huge counter attack window. Still loving the content though guys 💪
4:15, remember, he OBLITERATED Greece. And if these worlds are split into "realms", then "Greece" has been completey cut of from the EXPANSE of these worlds for hundreds if not thousands of years. So, the world that Kratos came from is an Ancient Civilization that would be comparable to, in Brok and the others perspective, Atlantis to us.
for endless smiles from this vid. Quinn's look & raised eyebrow 1:53 ☺& his glee of using the dual wield blades & I was captivated by his cute concentration face during the orbs puzzle😍& Oak's right, you did say "Eunuch" teehee 🤭Answer's side look when Kratos & Freya share a look, Quinn "his going to spread his wife's ashes"😅& epic battles you all had there! great stuff as always guys! 💚❤💙
You guys are doing an amazing job with the main story of this game. It's also fun for me to see you guys solve a very long puzzle with the winds of hel to get a chest. I hope after you finished the main story, you guys could also finish all the side quests for more dialogues and more of "Mimir Tales" and boat stories, also more God of War content. Great job guys! By the way, I have a question, why is this tagged as reddeadredemption?
"discretion is sometimes the better part of valor" but it is not as big a part of valor as hiding behind your shield when someone is taking a blatantly obvious swing at you....
37:35, not going to try to spell her name. But it comes out sounding a little like Hwraths-Elger. That is Hel`s Eagle, the is the Carrion Queen, the Corpse Swallower, the 8th known Ruler of Hel.
Just a tip for what i feel you guys need to improve on the most to get better, yous seem to be in "modes" when in combat. Youll be all attack, all block or all dodge but you need to blend them together. Dodge an attack, get a few hits in, block/parry, hit some more........ Not tryna be an A hole, just thought i could help with a little constructive criticism on where to improve. It's not the easiest thing to master which is why yous are struggling a bit as you need to pay attention to everything going on and whilst also thinking of each of your posdible moves all while in the heat of battle
Now why on Earth would y'all not buy a Superior Resurrection Stone😐 Also have y'all realised yet that you changed your L1 + O Health Talisman two episodes ago?💀 Also p sure you still have empty enchantment sockets on your armour. How y'all miss stuff when there's three pairs of eyes looking at one screen is kind of amazing🤣😭
Your lives would be so much easier if you just blocked more :D it is 100% possible to never get hit in this game, but you keep charging into enemy attacks
They'll miss every parry. They'll never dodge undogable attacks. They'll ignore all ghost weapons. They'll ignore all blue side quest. They'll ignore every stance and stick with just 1 for every enemy. They'll never sheath their katana after a fight getting badass points. Yeah that sounds like fun watching. Even a simple game like Ghost of Tsushima seems too complex for them.
PLEASE BLOCK WITH L1! If someone was going to punch you in the face in real life you wouldn't just take it so please block (or dodge but that requires timing)
Hey Zac!! Me too, the addition of Quinn to these game plays has definitely improved my mood! I know normal folks get frustrated w him, but those of us that know & have followed these guys know that having Quinn will always make it so much more entertaining. I watched my oldest play this game alot so I'm so happy they picked this one. Most of games I had time to play were before my twins became toddlers so thus is so fun for me. Glad u still seem to be feeling ok.❤💞❤️
@@jenloveshorror 👋. That’s so true! When Mason joined the boys a few episodes ago. I knew the fun that was coming. And anyone who gets “frustrated” with them and him are just downers.
@@jenloveshorror couldn't agree more with your words about Quinn joining there Jen! I hate it & get about protective when people get frustrated with him, but as you say us regulars knows he always tries his best 💜💚
Remember that Atreus grew up in those woods, secluded from the outside world. To him, Kratos' absurd strength is his benchmark for what an ordinary person can do.
The first knowlage he figured is at the bridge
interesting never thought of it that way
possible spoiler - Don't read following comments, they are just spoilers lol
His mother too, I don't remember if they reference that in this game or only the second..
@@marslaraNot a spoiler whatsoever.
@@VykeKing kind of there's no reason not to think she's just a normal human until shown otherwise.
55:51 "he's unbeatable i think, at this point", the way them both looked at Quinn at the same time was funny as hel
It's always a good day when they drop God Of War!!
Indeed. A great way to start my day!

How can anyone hit the wrong button so many times in a row? 🤣 I’m in tears Mr Mason Quinn 😂
These dudes have been grinding! Absolutely love the non stop content on both channels
Remember: the leviathan axe belonged to Atreus’ mother. You’ll need both weapons - the blades for ice enemies and the axe for fire enemies.
They're gonna learn that the hard way lol
@TitanGT66 they haven't reach that post yet. Best to not spoil it
@jaymasterflash9396 Relax, didn't spoil a thing, I'm talking about the same enemies the OP is...
@@TitanGT66 I meany to reply to zoeyrosee 🤦 sorry
Maybe Oak can dress up as kratos next time?
Like that God of War: Ragnarok Super Bowl commercial!
Only if he gets the beard and mustache too
@@cavaliothorson7755 and white skin, half naked with the red stripeall over him. this would look so fire.
Quinn struggling with the winds of hel was funny af 😂😂
I was screaming 😆
Block more often, guys - block is very powerful. There's only a handful of things you can't block, and most of them will be indicated with a red flashing ring.
100%, would suggest they do side mission areas and practice blocking with the shield with some mini bosses and enemies.
Yessir!!, aye yall don’t be too pressed about hacksilver and XP those come in abundance it’s the other things that should be worried about
And PS, when you see the red arrow at the waist just tap X to get out of the way it’s easier than just trying to block all of the time

@xtradressn2895 Failing is fine, as long as you learn.
Beung 10 hours in and not knowing when or how to block and parry is a bit painful
happy to see this upload!

Among 20 other things.
Against Frozen enemies you can still use the Runic Attacks of the Axe so you have two more attacks to your arsenal.
Another great game Diamond Dave is editing like crazy ❤
From here to the end of Ragnarok is where the story really hits its stride 🔥🔥🔥
What a great episode. The story in this game and the next is so Fu**ing good.
To me Cyclone of Chaos is the single most iconic attack from the original games.
already excited for god of war ragnarök after this game😊 (hopefully)
I recommend exploring more of the world and trying all the side quests that you can before finishing the game. It helps with xp and amazing upgrades
25:23 That bird sound means there is an Odin's Raven nearby. You've already missed a few of them but don't forget to hunt them down when you hear them.
38:35 thats Hrae-Svelgr aka "Corpse Eater". Big ol Jotunn whose wings create the cold winds that blow from the north. One of my fav norse mythology characters
Was looking forward to see Oak and Answer react to Kratos’ reaction to being called the Ghost of Sparta… nothing 😕
They didn't even react to Athena appearing in the boat lol.. Im sure they already forgot 70% of the main story in GoW 1-3 besides the big plot points.
You guys should do the side missions. You dont have to follow story first. Look at your map and see all your chests and items to collect percentage. Each realm needs to be completed. Better to upgeade faster for the main story.
27:40, LISTEN FOR THE BIRD! You really need to start cranking away at that Eye of Odin sidequest.
2:20, if Kratos had a gun. He would probably want something like a beefed, supersized AK-47. "Pain we endure, faulty weaponry we do not." He would want something good at range, with great stopping power, and most of all reliability. So, if a typical AK-47 is a .20 or .30, you know what, just mod a Mock-Dues, so he can use it as a CLUB, and he`d be alright.
You should explore other realms and to more side missions
watching old people play is so funny.. no hate
28:40, you need Atreus`s SHOCK arrows to detonate that World Tree Sap.
The things you have to look at on the blades of chaos runic attacks are: strength, burn, stun, and time
1:11:23 I'm sad that Oak missed that interaction between Mimir and Kratos
3:30, this is what happens when you just DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR A WEEK! You plum forget everything that happens!
Loving this series. Keep it up lads :)
THEY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY ARE IN FOR!!! All the side quests and hidden stuff. I HOPE THEY PLAY RAGNAROK
WHOOOOOOO so excited to see this episode!!!!
Got my cup of tea while I kick back on my recliner watching some badd medicine GoW gameplay. Great way to start my day!
Story is Getting good
It amazes me how Quinn can use the sheild to fail the same puzzle for 30 minutes but never use it once in battle. I am screaming in my head. 🫠 every enemy is unbeatable if you stand still and take every hit.
We have to see some episodes of just side missions.
Can’t wait for Ragnarok!!
Guys remember to do side quests and expore the Lake of Nine and other realms.
If you beat Helheim once you can do it again, just wait until you come back with boy. Great work 👍
Gotta parry those yellow flashing strikes with a block at the right time guys, very effective way of not taking damage while giving you a huge counter attack window. Still loving the content though guys 💪

@@BaddMedicineArcade you're very welcome!
It's crazy how easy the game gets when you're not a psychopath like me and choose give me a God of War on the first playthrough

15:55, use your Shield Bash attack to destroy their shields so you can attack them.
U got to be more attentive and dodge and parry every attack don’t just stand there and best to lock on the tougher enemies.
"discretion is sometimes the better part of valor" but it is not as big a part of valor as hiding behind your shield when someone is taking a blatantly obvious swing at you....
You can play with classic controls its in the settings
hopefully you do some side quests
God of war is so good, i really hope amazons live action adaptation does it justice.
LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Let's Frickin GO!
DON'T FORGET TO LOCK ON BY CLICKING THE RIGHT STICK
Been saying that since part 1 buddy. You'll still be saying it by part 15.. Don't even bother
37:35, not going to try to spell her name. But it comes out sounding a little like Hwraths-Elger. That is Hel`s Eagle, the is the Carrion Queen, the Corpse Swallower, the 8th known Ruler of Hel.

You guys can turn off rage mode by pushing the same toggles again to save it.
The blatant disrespect to the resurrection stones 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Y'all have to stop running away from enemy's & kill them bc it's taking ya'll 3 years to do it LOL
Every troll they fight
use what runic attacks you think are cool dont worry too much about the numbers
anyone else curious what an Elden Ring or DS play through would look like?? 😂
HOLLY SHIT LETS FRICKIN GOOO YALL GOT FOR DISS
My only problem with this game is that the armor sets look weird in the cinematics it breaks the “canon” look
Oaks a GAMER
Barely an inconvenience!
36:40, Not bad, not bad at all.😁👍
Now why on Earth would y'all not buy a Superior Resurrection Stone😐
Also have y'all realised yet that you changed your L1 + O Health Talisman two episodes ago?💀
Also p sure you still have empty enchantment sockets on your armour. How y'all miss stuff when there's three pairs of eyes looking at one screen is kind of amazing🤣😭
Lol you actually expect them to use their brains when playing games
Will you guys pick up GOW Ragnarok after this?
Are you inverted because of Goldeneye?
Your lives would be so much easier if you just blocked more :D it is 100% possible to never get hit in this game, but you keep charging into enemy attacks
You guys should play Ghost of Tsushima at some point. I think you might like it.
They'll miss every parry. They'll never dodge undogable attacks. They'll ignore all ghost weapons. They'll ignore all blue side quest. They'll ignore every stance and stick with just 1 for every enemy. They'll never sheath their katana after a fight getting badass points.
Yeah that sounds like fun watching. Even a simple game like Ghost of Tsushima seems too complex for them.
Oh and they'll talk over the 10/10 cutscenes and dialogue.
Why do i feel like they have an upgrade for the axe and just never check
story getting heavy!!!
1:28:43 well mr Quinn, kratos hasn't REALLY laid everything out on the table. He told atreus he's a god but he hasn't mentioned his past crimes
y'all are way too comfortable using R2 all the time hahaha
Will you guys play god of war ragnarok too please!
PLEASE BLOCK WITH L1! If someone was going to punch you in the face in real life you wouldn't just take it so please block (or dodge but that requires timing)
❤️🔥
Did they just by pass the boat part😂
spoiler
You mean with Zeus?
I'm pretty sure that's later because Atreus is there. I haven't watched this yet though so not sure.
I like Quinn I really do, but please stop passing him the controller 😭
Never should have joined the playthrough to begin with.
Please guys don’t talk while they’re having a conversation while travelling cause it’s important to understand the story better❤
I was hoping for telltale walking dead 😢😅
We have a schedule on the post tab.
People still needing to comment simple tips they are ignoring 9 parts in is wild 🤦🏻♂️
