I can't wait for God of War 5 when Kratos tells Atreus about a odd warrior that wielded a shovel it would be such a funny easter egg even if it isn't fully canon
Atreus: how about another story Kratos: I fought and got defeated by a warrior wielding a shovel. Atreus: Wut Mimir: now i think your are inhaling some crack brother.
It would actually make sense if kratos met a knight (if not counting on time continuity) walking to Scandinavia because he would probably cross trough Germany one of the places with a lot of knights trough history
MelonLordx40 I mean technically ginny weasly can kill super sayin god goku with the killing curse, sometimes it doesn’t matter how strong or powerful you are, skill and technique from one fighting style can straight up beat some others in the right circumstances. Just look at dark souls. You’ll get what I mean
@Xap Ete Obviously, but that doesn’t take away the potential of the attack, especially if it was Frieza, who would dare Ginny to use it on him and get himself killed. Speed and power mean squat if you don’t use them
I think that battle with the shovel knight is just for explaining that he has traveled and probably Athena kept mocking him alongside the journey obviously because cory barlog confirmed that kratos lost his mind in his mind in his journey and regained it
@@kevindonate1525 não sei espanhol, então vou responder em português. God of War tem a série principal e os spin offs. A série principal é o GoW original, GoW 2, GoW 3, GoW (o de 2018, que é chamado só de God of War,mas que devia ser chamado God of War 4,porque ele é o 4° da série principal) e GoW Ragnarok. Além disso existem os spin offs, GoW Chains of Olympus, GoW Ghost of Sparta e GoW Ascencion. Os spin off são canônicos é claro, mas eles basicamente exploram momentos importantes da história que acontecem fora da série principal (Ascencion e CoO antes do 1, GoS entre o 1 e o 2). Eu particularmente adoraria se eles fizessem um outro spin off que se passa antes do GoW 4, mostrando como ele chegou na Escandinávia e como ele conheceu a Faye.
I think everybody forgets that Athena's partially responsible for the downfall of the Greek pantheon what I mean is if she let Kratos die when he wanted to kill himself in the first game the Greek pantheon would still be alive
BLacK MIST TiTAniUM 7770 Mate it’s when she dies and became that “Ghost”. The power had corrupted her and she manipulated Kratos to kill Zeus. At the beginning she was actually a Good God
I can imagine an interaction where Atreus asks “do you know anyone who wielded a weapon as powerful as mijonir?” And kratos replies with “ I did know a man who wielded a shovel as a weapon, and he bested me in battle.”
He did not lose. They both walk away, if anything. Kratos just showed him respect by leaving. And it's more than likely a joke that this is supposed to be cannon anyway
If I had to guess. The reason why the blades reverted to their original appearance is that a lot of the things that powered the blades (the magic of the various gods that changed it over time) had begun to fade from the blades when those gods died.
I think it was stated somewhere that after Becoming the new God of War, Kratos also had access to all Ares' weapons, including the Blades of Chaos, which he took with him when he left for Scandinavia
After killing Ares and taking his place as the God of War, Kratos gained all of Ares' weapons, including the Blades of Chaos though he vowed never to use them again. God of War Wiki
How do you think Kratos got so good at rowing a boat? He’s so skilled he can row on one side and go left and right with out changing rowing positions. 😂😂😂

thats cool man, im working on a non gow vid, after a finish ill get to work on yours ( i might start a new series called "sub flash theories" were I talk about the theories you guys comment on, and your has been one of the better ones
What I'm thinking is that Kratos couldn't die because he'd killed Hades and kind of absorbed his soul in GOWIII. I think it's something like the valkyries- without a proper God of the Underworld, a soul like Kratos just couldn't be ripped away from its mortal body, so he just didn't die. That is, until he got to a place with its own underworld... Scandinavia.
considering he clapped hades And took his weapon to boot this actually makes sense however even if he were to die in Scandinavia he probably could escape given hes escaped a underworld a shit load of times,granted it would be harder but still
What if Kratos was transported to Scandinavia AFTER defeating Shao Kahn (MK9), I mean they told him they will return him to his home, but as a matter of fact... there's no home left.
He could've fought Shovel Knight and then get wrapped up in Mortal Kombat before finally reaching scandanavia. Or it could take longer if we count PlayStation All Stars as canon
I mean, when you crawl out of the underworld like 4 times and then kill fate itself so you can live.... I'd either call that immortality or just sheer muthafukin willpower.
maybe the blades went back to being the blades of chaos when the God's all died and so all the power in the sword got lost. that could explain why the blade looks rusty and old. at least until you begin to use it again and upgrade it. who knows, maybe when brok and sindri have a look at it officially, it will have a new power up or something.
If memory serves the novels concluded that Kratos in lore regained the powers he had in the earlier games later in the series. Though yeah this is difficult as hell to canonize. I guess you could say the Cestus were there because he went to the Cyclops Brontes or something? (I don't know)
Ares gave The Blades of Chaos to kratos when he made the deal with him. Athena gave kratos The Blades of Athena after I guess he lost the BoC when ares died. (That nightmare fight vs a bunch of kratoses) Athena transformed the BoA into The Blades of Exile In Gow 3 Not sure if the BoC transformed into BoA or BoE or vice versa. It sounds weird.
The thing is while I accept this as being true, it brings up another question. Where would the Shovel Knight realm be in the GOW universe? Considering the mountains to the north and the dense pine forests to the south, it would likely be in a dimensional shift realm between the Celtic, Arthurian, and Norse realms, due to the themes found in the game, like the knights, of course, the magic and monsters similar to Arthurian and Celtic legend, and Polar Knight, a literal hulk of a Viking (maybe he's a cartoonish version Thrymr, considering he's a Jotun worshiped by Frost giants who lives alone in the mountains.). Heck there's even necromancy via witchcraft with Scepter Knight, alluding more the Celtic mythos. So Kratos before entering the Norse realm must had found himself in this realm before traveling to Midgard.
"Father, I have to ask, have you ever lost a fight? I mean, you're a god, but you've lost before, right?" *"... Would you believe me if I told you I was humbled by a mere man with a shovel?"* "... I'll take that as a no."
He is no longer in Greek lands and waters. It would be stupid for her to continue to harrass him. She is the only 'god' left there and there's nothing stopping her. IMO and theory there is only ONE pair of chained blades. The Blades of Chaos. While Ares was alive, no other god could influence the blades. Once he died, ony gods who were powerful enough could. It's also said that once Ares is dead, then he can remove the chains. Athena could only transform and imbue them thereafter. Changing them once and renaming them (Blades of Athena) and then again by repairing/transforming them into the Blades of Exile. It is likely that Zues' destruction of all the other weapons was only powerful enough to take all of the power out of them, making them revert to the original Blades of Chaos form. She did NOT transform them back. The visions of Athena and Zeus in Helheim are just that. They are simple nods to the previous 7 games.
There is a comic its about Kratos after God of War 3 where he walks away and when he wakes up Athean brought him the Blades and in the comic Kratos hid his face with a red piece of clouths the comic would be betwen after the end of GOW and before Meeting the Showel Knight
Did the furies(GOW ascension) not capture kratos when he tried to kill himself at the end of GOW 3 ,I think one of the furies dragged him ,seeing as there is a blood trail.After defeating the furies he walked to Scandinavia
GOW ascension takes place before everything, shortly after kratos kills his family i believe because kratos is attempting to break his oath to ares. Ascension is the first game in chronological order
Honestly I feel like that the Kratos vs Shovel Knight fight could only have gone 1 way, Kratos would be barley trying given that after the fight you can't hurt Kratos and also Kratos thinks that the shovel Knight is a gardener at first
How do you know this gome happens after God of War 3? And concerning Athena's appearance, I it wasn't a memory, at the contrary she was marking a spectre of herself to appear in front of Kratos mocking him safely, and that was in my opinion long after she changed the blades back to blades of chaos.
cory has confirmed that this is in fact after gow 3, and Athena wasn't really there, otherwise mimir would have notice her meaning it was in kratoss mind, so the view people take is that it was a vision. But what im asking is what caused the visions? Kratos was fine all through out the game. it wasnt until he started thinking about that blades that Athena came into his consciousness meaning a correlation between the blades and Athena
He knew where norse land was because after ascension he had had atreus at which point, some time after( after gow1) he placed the blades of chaos in fayes hands scince he had the blades of Athena
Hey Kaptain Kuba I think I know how Kratos got to Norse, I know this video was uploaded over a year ago and you may have a different theory but I’m almost positive that Skoll and Hati Took Kratos to Norway. There was a mysterious woman I believe and if it wasn’t a woman it was most likely Tyr since he was one of the only ones who can travel to other mythologies with the Unity Stone and if it was a woman then it was most likely Faye. I believe one of your theory videos say that Faye has a bit of a Connection to Tyr and obviously the giants so I also believe that theory.
i don't think that kratos seeing athena was memories because she said "a father" too and i don't think that atreus was born at that time or was she meaning caliope which doesn't make sense either
I dont know witch mithology is older but i think that Kratos didnt lose his god powers, because he can still heal himself, like in the begining of the game, first battle with Baldur. I think he healed himself and used the faiths magic to go back thru time, before all the titan and god war in greece, he will take Atreus to Greece when the war starts, so he can stop it. In that case, Kratos wolud keep his family, none of the things that have gone wrong wolud even happen, and he will die an old man In Greece. And Atreus about he is talking about might be his son, if he even is his son, because Atreus has red hair and blue eyes, non similar to greek culture.
Well, my theory about kratos going to scandinavia is simple, based on the scene that the gang find jotunheim temple hidden on the realm of realms... kratos kind of recognizes the unity stone!! And the realm of realms!!! Pay attention! Maybe he knew some magical guy that could get him out of Greece... so he went with that dude, without knowing he was Tyr, but tyr actually knew him, and that he would be useful to join Jötun gang, with Feya!!!
I said the same thing. Although, it had me confused that Cory Barlog said he grabbed a backpack and walked to Scandinavia like the guy in the video said. I mean where is he going to find a backpack let alone how is he going to walk on water. Hopefully Cory was just trolling, because I think he said all our questions will be answered in the next GoW game.
@@shadowmakerer maybe kratos broke that vase not just to hide his past but to hide evidences of his help from tyr... otherwise, do you really think feya just randomly met Kratos in the woods like Hey ma man, would you mind if i kill this giant troll with you? And then: so... how you doin??? (Like joey from friends...)...... im not it was only by interesting, but man, everybody there knew the 'ghost of sparta',
Pretty marriageable guy right? But remember feya was looking for a way to save her people, should we really consider her relationship with him a pure act of love? Ok actually this is kind of stupid, buuut... loki is the one who causes Ragnarok, the death of the gods!( and the world too hehe) and she wanted to name Atreus by Loki....
Each Culture have their own Gods and each culture have their own Dimensions that's why in Norse theres Hel while Greek have the underworld but they're still in the same planet. And I think Midgard is just a name use by the Norse and not the whole world itself. Since Mimir said that he knows Kratos is Greek because he knows who Athena is meaning Midgard isn't the whole earth but a part if Earth occupied by the Norse mythology
I got this theory where Kratos is Tyr since it is already hinted that time travel is involved in the game and Kratos; his presence and his actions have changed the course of prophecies. Kratos does not know it yet just like how Atreus has no idea that the world serpent is one of his offsprings. Kratos would eventually become a good "God of War" just as how Mimir tells of Tyr being loved by all as Tyr shares his knowledge with people beyond the Norse realms. Some parallels are seen in Kratos wanting be a better God and having made the decision to give "hope" to the world instead of handing it to Athena at the ending of GOW3. In some ways which will be revealed in the sequels, Kratos will end up fulfilling the role of Tyr in aiding the Giants against Odin. I also think that Kratos after all the time travelling and changing history (+ fulfilling prophecies) is the one who will bring the wine and pot from Greece and place it in Tyr's vault. He just does not know it yet. Lastly, I believe Kratos to be the immortal God of War as it gives credibility to the ending of GOW1 where it tells of Kratos keeping a ever watchful eye whenever men fought wars.
Is it possible Atreius will pick up the blades of chaos and use them against Kratos? In a blind rage like Kratos has had, and what we say in an encounter with Baldur? Something happens to make Atreius go against Kratos, maybe a trick by Odin, Atreius severs Kratos right arm, or turns the blades in to Fenrir?

This is the funniest thing I've Kuba hasnt even read the comics he didnt say Serve he said tested Athena and an Egyptian god forced Kratos to use the Blades of Chaos But literally he finds Laufey thus way he fights Shovel Knight loses shows respect he fights his to be wife to a stand still shows respect The GraveDiggers shovel his fathers Zeus' he honors by keeping before he was consumed with fear wanting Kratos' death in the infamous Kratos pocket of holding its not a gag Just like God of War Betrayal isnt go play it on J2ME CaptainKuba step up your God of War gaming
On the contrary, he did feel fulfilled and wanted to be with his family, and how can the other gods die and him not?? Especially when he started out as half then sucked in a gods soul, he can die.. but it's difficult
well athena has achieved a higher level of existence, a higher dimension she is not limited by space or time in the regular 3rd dimension midguard or BhuLoka
Read it he G.O.W. wiki!!!! He said that about Athena cuz after he killed all the god it's said that kratos left and Athena kept messing with him and putting things in his was as to why she showed up in gow 4 in the boat with his ass
If Kratos was immortality it's mean that in the GOW 2 Kratos doesn't need gaia power to bring him back to life after getting stabbed by zeus. He can just climb from underworld and reach surface. Am I right cap kuba?
Kratos is wielding the blades of Athena...not the blades of chaos, his blades during the fight are golden and if you remember during the start of God of War 2 the blades of Athena were golden
The Blades of Chaos is not the same as the Blades of Athena They are two different blades!!!!!!!! The reason why he got the BOA (Blades of Athena) because the BOC (Blades of Chaos) was ripped from his arms. Your first theory on the BOC might be correct.
Kratos can't die for the same reason the gods he kills can't just go to Valhalla and come back. He IS death. Not "the god of death". He is the Primordial force of death. When he kills you, it's for real. And he has to be, so he cannot die
Dear Kaptain Kuba, I posted a few theories on your video that discussed the Top 5 God of War theories by your subscribers a few weeks back. It was pointed out to me that at least one of my theories, the one about Atreus/Loki turning on his father specifically, may have been ripped off from another video. I believe the video they are referring to is one by the channel GamingBolt. I truly do not remember if I watched that video before writing the theory in your comments section. You had mentioned that you may do a video discussing the theory and said that you would give me a shout out if you did. If you decide to do that video I think it would only be fair to include a shout out to the channel GamingBolt and the video (link will be provided) just in case I did watch it and ended up being inspiring my comment theory if subconsciously. Just to be safe. I don't want it to be considered plagiarism. th-cam.com/video/0RbSz00KOSE/w-d-xo.html
Sounds good. I really liked this video too especially the part about the Blades of Chaos being returned to Kratos by Athena as a way to torment him further. It would also tie into the theory that the Blades of Chaos may have killed Faye. Knowing that Kratos had changed or was trying to change his ways. Choosing to live as a man as he put it. We know from the new GOW game that they do have magic (able to start fires in Hel and Brok saying that Kratos reeked for foreign magic after getting the blades) and perhaps part of that magic is that even being around the Blades for a period of time would cause a mortal to eventually die being that they were forged in the fires of Hades. Athena would probably know this, so not only would she bring back Blades of Chaos to torment Kratos with the memories attached to them, but it would also prevent him from being happy with anyone for too long. As they would succumb to the Blades' power before long.

Considering the mountains to the north and the dense pine forests to the south, it would likely be in a dimensional shift realm between the Celtic, Arthurian, and Norse realms, due to the themes found in the game, like the knights, of course, the magic and monsters similar to Arthurian and Celtic legend, and Polar Knight, a literal hulk of a Viking (maybe he's a cartoonish version Thrymr, considering he's a Jotun worshiped by Frost giants who lives alone in the mountains.). Heck there's even necromancy via witchcraft with Scepter Knight, alluding more the Celtic mythos. So Kratos before entering the Norse realm must had found himself in this realm before traveling to Midgard.
"Father, I have to ask, have you ever lost a fight? I mean, you're a god, but you've lost before, right?"
*"... Would you believe me if I told you I was humbled by a mere man with a shovel?"*
"... I'll take that as a no."
He is no longer in Greek lands and waters. It would be stupid for her to continue to harrass him. She is the only 'god' left there and there's nothing stopping her.
IMO and theory there is only ONE pair of chained blades. The Blades of Chaos. While Ares was alive, no other god could influence the blades. Once he died, ony gods who were powerful enough could. It's also said that once Ares is dead, then he can remove the chains. Athena could only transform and imbue them thereafter. Changing them once and renaming them (Blades of Athena) and then again by repairing/transforming them into the Blades of Exile.
It is likely that Zues' destruction of all the other weapons was only powerful enough to take all of the power out of them, making them revert to the original Blades of Chaos form. She did NOT transform them back. The visions of Athena and Zeus in Helheim are just that. They are simple nods to the previous 7 games.
I mean in the fist one he whished the blads in to the perpetual blad
There is a comic its about Kratos after God of War 3 where he walks away and when he wakes up Athean brought him the Blades and in the comic Kratos hid his face with a red piece of clouths the comic would be betwen after the end of GOW and before Meeting the Showel Knight
Did the furies(GOW ascension) not capture kratos when he tried to kill himself at the end of GOW 3 ,I think one of the furies dragged him ,seeing as there is a blood trail.After defeating the furies he walked to Scandinavia
What? The furies died even before GOW1
GOW ascension takes place before everything, shortly after kratos kills his family i believe because kratos is attempting to break his oath to ares. Ascension is the first game in chronological order
This pleased me.
So how is the heretic hunting
Honestly I feel like that the Kratos vs Shovel Knight fight could only have gone 1 way, Kratos would be barley trying given that after the fight you can't hurt Kratos and also Kratos thinks that the shovel Knight is a gardener at first
Shovel Knight in the game is half the height of Kratos. Kratos is 6”5 tall. Shovel Knight then must be around 3 feet tall.
Kratos is 7 feet tall
How do you know this gome happens after God of War 3? And concerning Athena's appearance, I it wasn't a memory, at the contrary she was marking a spectre of herself to appear in front of Kratos mocking him safely, and that was in my opinion long after she changed the blades back to blades of chaos.
cory has confirmed that this is in fact after gow 3, and Athena wasn't really there, otherwise mimir would have notice her meaning it was in kratoss mind, so the view people take is that it was a vision. But what im asking is what caused the visions? Kratos was fine all through out the game. it wasnt until he started thinking about that blades that Athena came into his consciousness meaning a correlation between the blades and Athena
@@KaptainKuba yeah you're right. I agee
Im questioning if mk9 for ps3 is canon in god of war, because some of the dialouge leads to gow games after that
How so?
He knew where norse land was because after ascension he had had atreus at which point, some time after( after gow1) he placed the blades of chaos in fayes hands scince he had the blades of Athena
Hey Kaptain Kuba I think I know how Kratos got to Norse, I know this video was uploaded over a year ago and you may have a different theory but I’m almost positive that Skoll and Hati Took Kratos to Norway. There was a mysterious woman I believe and if it wasn’t a woman it was most likely Tyr since he was one of the only ones who can travel to other mythologies with the Unity Stone and if it was a woman then it was most likely Faye. I believe one of your theory videos say that Faye has a bit of a Connection to Tyr and obviously the giants so I also believe that theory.
i don't think that kratos seeing athena was memories because she said "a father" too and i don't think that atreus was born at that time or was she meaning caliope which doesn't make sense either
I love your videos especially theory videos
That's great speculation.
like the theory
thanks man
I dont know witch mithology is older but i think that Kratos didnt lose his god powers, because he can still heal himself, like in the begining of the game, first battle with Baldur. I think he healed himself and used the faiths magic to go back thru time, before all the titan and god war in greece, he will take Atreus to Greece when the war starts, so he can stop it. In that case, Kratos wolud keep his family, none of the things that have gone wrong wolud even happen, and he will die an old man In Greece. And Atreus about he is talking about might be his son, if he even is his son, because Atreus has red hair and blue eyes, non similar to greek culture.
Well, my theory about kratos going to scandinavia is simple, based on the scene that the gang find jotunheim temple hidden on the realm of realms... kratos kind of recognizes the unity stone!! And the realm of realms!!! Pay attention! Maybe he knew some magical guy that could get him out of Greece... so he went with that dude, without knowing he was Tyr, but tyr actually knew him, and that he would be useful to join Jötun gang, with Feya!!!
Omg sorry... Realm between Realms.... dur
Kaptain, pay attention to that, so suspicious... kratos just know too much!!!
I said the same thing. Although, it had me confused that Cory Barlog said he grabbed a backpack and walked to Scandinavia like the guy in the video said. I mean where is he going to find a backpack let alone how is he going to walk on water. Hopefully Cory was just trolling, because I think he said all our questions will be answered in the next GoW game.
@@shadowmakerer maybe kratos broke that vase not just to hide his past but to hide evidences of his help from tyr... otherwise, do you really think feya just randomly met Kratos in the woods like Hey ma man, would you mind if i kill this giant troll with you? And then: so... how you doin??? (Like joey from friends...)...... im not it was only by interesting, but man, everybody there knew the 'ghost of sparta',
Pretty marriageable guy right? But remember feya was looking for a way to save her people, should we really consider her relationship with him a pure act of love? Ok actually this is kind of stupid, buuut... loki is the one who causes Ragnarok, the death of the gods!( and the world too hehe) and she wanted to name Atreus by Loki....
Each Culture have their own Gods and each culture have their own Dimensions that's why in Norse theres Hel while Greek have the underworld but they're still in the same planet. And I think Midgard is just a name use by the Norse and not the whole world itself. Since Mimir said that he knows Kratos is Greek because he knows who Athena is meaning Midgard isn't the whole earth but a part if Earth occupied by the Norse mythology
Wait let me get this straight why does all the starter armour have exile in its name but the blades are not the blade of exile
I got this theory where Kratos is Tyr since it is already hinted that time travel is involved in the game and Kratos; his presence and his actions have changed the course of prophecies. Kratos does not know it yet just like how Atreus has no idea that the world serpent is one of his offsprings. Kratos would eventually become a good "God of War" just as how Mimir tells of Tyr being loved by all as Tyr shares his knowledge with people beyond the Norse realms. Some parallels are seen in Kratos wanting be a better God and having made the decision to give "hope" to the world instead of handing it to Athena at the ending of GOW3. In some ways which will be revealed in the sequels, Kratos will end up fulfilling the role of Tyr in aiding the Giants against Odin. I also think that Kratos after all the time travelling and changing history (+ fulfilling prophecies) is the one who will bring the wine and pot from Greece and place it in Tyr's vault. He just does not know it yet. Lastly, I believe Kratos to be the immortal God of War as it gives credibility to the ending of GOW1 where it tells of Kratos keeping a ever watchful eye whenever men fought wars.
Kratos or Tyr actually aided the wars through this day just like it was on the GoW1 cameo.
Another theory is that Athena turn the blades of exile to the blades of chaos because he was killing his own son atraus
Is it possible Atreius will pick up the blades of chaos and use them against Kratos? In a blind rage like Kratos has had, and what we say in an encounter with Baldur? Something happens to make Atreius go against Kratos, maybe a trick by Odin, Atreius severs Kratos right arm, or turns the blades in to Fenrir?
R3
Also mai *B O I* got them ads finally so he can make the moneys.
5:53 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And uhhhhhh, don't wanna be that guy but uhhh, isn't the Acropolis in Athens not Sparta? 😅 (8:52)
hahahaaha those half video ads are going to pay for my trip to Rome, konaruhiiiiiii, and in regards to acropolis, i just said something greek lol
Dude you gotta take me when you go to Rome! Also you're gonna get so many comments on the Acropolis error 😂😂😂
Doesn't do proper research, gets location wrong, loses 200 subs and 3,000 hate comments on the incorrect information
alright its done, gonna make savings account names Kona & Kuba travel, and yeah.... i know im gonna get a bunch angered Greek mythology aficionados
8:15 AMAZING
hey yeah uh what the Helheim does ᚷᛟᛞ ᛟᚠ ᚹᚨᚱ mean
What if this gow is the end... and other lands may be before Norse ?
This is the funniest thing I've Kuba hasnt even read the comics he didnt say Serve he said tested Athena and an Egyptian god forced Kratos to use the Blades of Chaos
But literally he finds Laufey thus way he fights Shovel Knight loses shows respect he fights his to be wife to a stand still shows respect
The GraveDiggers shovel his fathers Zeus' he honors by keeping before he was consumed with fear wanting Kratos' death in the infamous Kratos pocket of holding its not a gag
Just like God of War Betrayal isnt go play it on J2ME CaptainKuba step up your God of War gaming
So grece to sweeden is 2350km, walking 50km a day (cos hes a god) =47 days to get to midgard so i think he did a bit of exploring ...
Kratos’s dialogue says he’s using the blades of chaos against shovel knight
So who won kratos or shovel knight
On the contrary, he did feel fulfilled and wanted to be with his family, and how can the other gods die and him not?? Especially when he started out as half then sucked in a gods soul, he can die.. but it's difficult
Kratos will die of old age and wither away slowly while his immortality to anything will definitely make him suffer more.
I can see a montage of kratos trying to kill himself over and over
I mean... A lot of these things could be explained by saying that the Shovel Knight fight took place during or immediatly after GoW1
santa monica said the fight happened whilst kratos was traveling to scandinavia
When the ghost of Sparta jumped of the cliff athena saved him!
well athena has achieved a higher level of existence, a higher dimension she is not limited by space or time in the regular 3rd dimension midguard or BhuLoka
Kratos hid the blades so shovel knight wouldn't recognize him and he could be safe
Wait... who is shovel knight and what game is he playing?
The game is shovel knight (ps4) and of course God of war. And The shovel knight is a shovel wielding knight
Read it he G.O.W. wiki!!!! He said that about Athena cuz after he killed all the god it's said that kratos left and Athena kept messing with him and putting things in his was as to why she showed up in gow 4 in the boat with his ass
It seems plausible but it feels like we need one more piece of evidence towards this theory
"Kratos has face seemingly invisible foes ranging form Hercules to Zeus" Do you mean.. seemingly invincible? Bc... they certainly were not "invisible"
Read the novel. It explains as to how Kratos gets to scandanavia
Kratos is a war general, I’m pretty sure he’s skilled enough to fix/repair weapons and armor.
maybe but not weapons of such magical and powerful significance
Why does everyone think thay Kratos got beaten by Shovel Knight when he was clearly unscathed infact walking unharmed after the fight.
Man there are so many evidences that tyr guided kratos to north!
What are you doing here???
LMFAO! Kratos knows how to raise children but can't look out for his younger brother. Priorities Kratos!
Gys what is this palce?? And in which gane does it come
You mean “went to Midgard” instead of “went to Scandinavia” unless I am forgetting something
If Kratos was immortality it's mean that in the GOW 2 Kratos doesn't need gaia power to bring him back to life after getting stabbed by zeus. He can just climb from underworld and reach surface. Am I right cap kuba?
I would love to make Mortal Kombat 9 Kratos cannon
Kratos is wielding the blades of Athena...not the blades of chaos, his blades during the fight are golden and if you remember during the start of God of War 2 the blades of Athena were golden
Actually press f to pay respect
noo you cant Just Beat a God with a showel!
Haha rock go zoom
The Blades of Chaos is not the same as the Blades of Athena
They are two different blades!!!!!!!!
The reason why he got the BOA (Blades of Athena) because the BOC (Blades of Chaos) was ripped from his arms. Your first theory on the BOC might be correct.
Kratos can't die for the same reason the gods he kills can't just go to Valhalla and come back. He IS death. Not "the god of death". He is the Primordial force of death. When he kills you, it's for real. And he has to be, so he cannot die
Kratos lost the fight he is facing a bad day
What if he buried the blades of chaos with his mother and brother and reclaimed them after gow3
Shovel Khight have to appear in GOW 5
Kratos killed himself in order to release the hope from pandoras box out into the world,
Dear Kaptain Kuba, I posted a few theories on your video that discussed the Top 5 God of War theories by your subscribers a few weeks back. It was pointed out to me that at least one of my theories, the one about Atreus/Loki turning on his father specifically, may have been ripped off from another video. I believe the video they are referring to is one by the channel GamingBolt. I truly do not remember if I watched that video before writing the theory in your comments section. You had mentioned that you may do a video discussing the theory and said that you would give me a shout out if you did. If you decide to do that video I think it would only be fair to include a shout out to the channel GamingBolt and the video (link will be provided) just in case I did watch it and ended up being inspiring my comment theory if subconsciously. Just to be safe. I don't want it to be considered plagiarism. th-cam.com/video/0RbSz00KOSE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks man, ill check it out, but actually gonna take a break from gow for a while now
Sounds good. I really liked this video too especially the part about the Blades of Chaos being returned to Kratos by Athena as a way to torment him further. It would also tie into the theory that the Blades of Chaos may have killed Faye. Knowing that Kratos had changed or was trying to change his ways. Choosing to live as a man as he put it. We know from the new GOW game that they do have magic (able to start fires in Hel and Brok saying that Kratos reeked for foreign magic after getting the blades) and perhaps part of that magic is that even being around the Blades for a period of time would cause a mortal to eventually die being that they were forged in the fires of Hades. Athena would probably know this, so not only would she bring back Blades of Chaos to torment Kratos with the memories attached to them, but it would also prevent him from being happy with anyone for too long. As they would succumb to the Blades' power before long.
