If Kratos still had all the Magic and Weapons he gained all through the 6 games of the Greek saga, the Aesir don't have a chance. The Golden Fleece, The Blade of Olympus, and The Gauntlet of Zeus. These three should probably be enough to wipe all of them.
I would say his god powers are intact. It is the magic of his homeland that he could call on that is lost. His strength is rediculous even by God standards. And he does seem to truly excel as a warrior. Thus showing he is indeed the god of the common warrior. The role he inherited from Ares.
He's still got godlike abilities, it's just nothing fancy anymore. His immortal nature still gives him enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and endurance.
I missed jumping in gow Im personally not a fan of open world games that lacks basic vertical mobility, it feels restricting and not open world at all.
@@potatoraider7320 My friend, I recomend *Genshin-* *Neck Snapped* _The first one who died was Gacha me, sorry bout that. I suggest GMOD. Or Minecraft, play them.
I think its because the Pantheon were born with those powers, powers that are tied to fundamental forces of the earth, Fire, Lightning, the ocean, Hades etc. The Aesir for all their ferocity needed to forge their mighty weapons, and most of all, enchant those weapons and learn magic of all kinds (Like Odin) to be the power houses that dominated the 9 realms. Like Thor for example, here hes Half Johtun, hence why hes so massive and physically powerful. Most of his "god" attributes stem from Mjiolnir which is enchanted to allow control over Thunder and lightning, forces that Zeus for example can just inherantly do. On top of that the Pantheon were born of the Titan Cronos, a primordial being of untold strength and power.
Man would have : Yellow Lighting Blue lightning An army of the dead Soul ripping chains Wings A big ass sword A crystal spear shotgun Petrification A flashlight Rocks Caestus And other things I can't recall
This is actually a clever power-scaling comparison of what Kratos did that makes the Aesir feel very threatened of him. The Greek Gods and Titans of Olympus were pretty fucking OP compared to the Aesir and Vanir.
Dudes packing a giant magical ax, a talking head, swords with chains, thousands of dollars, and random forging materials *bro needs magic in order to jump with all that*
-flips city sized temple- my power is gone "but you just flipped a temple" "my jumping power is gone" "but thats just a normal person th.." "it is gone"
@@nanotek272 Objectively it's not. Cory Barlog himself says that Norse Kratos is so much stronger than he was during his time in Greece. Hes actively holding back throughout both games.
He's at his peak in this game since Greek gods grow stronger with age, he's just constantly holding back since his rage is what caused the death of his first family and he doesn't want to repeat his mistakes
So that explain why Kratos can only use the Chaos blade since it bound not to Greek but to him. Now I really really want the Developer to add a funny mode probably. Where Kratos have access to all his bounties from the previous God of War. Hook of Hades, head of Medusa, Fist of Nemera from Hercules, blade of Olympus, sandals of Hermes. Just think. Kratos was like: “Time to die” Odin and Thor would actually not match for him even in a 2 against 1.
I really like how they make an effort to explain the equipment downgrade. From his reduced arsenal to lost powers and abilities. And even some more recent stuff like why Freya can bring back mimir but wouldn’t bring back baldur.
@@Eldani-xr1rf well the Norns did say that Baldur would die a pointless death so after the mistletoe puncture in gow 2014,baldur was rendered mortal and he died a pointless death despite the fact that freya made him invincible to all threats physical or magical
Hes still a decendant of Cronos through Zeus. His inherant physical power will remain no matter what and increase with time. All the other junk was magical artifacts and enchantments that were taken as easily as they were given.
So what this confirms is that what we're seeing now with how his Spartan Rage works is what Kratos is at his natural power. No added magic, no special powers given to him by Gods or Titans. That flaming berserker rage he has is all him.
@@UnknownUser-bk2kf In pure strenght maybe but he lost all his magic, all his artifacts and all the otherworldly blessings. Also he is kinda rusty and slugish now and without the maniac-like drive he had before. He is insanely weaker compared to god of war 3. Still strong tho.

Just imagine older Kratos with all the weapons from his past though, the dude would plow right through any enemy he fought. I miss using the Nemean Cestus.
Most of those weapons used greek magic though, even the Nemean Cestus had the magic of the Nemean lion. The only reason he can use his blades is because they use primordial fire, wich is not exclusive of greece
@@K31N0S but it was explained in the short that magic is bound to the Honeland. And also why do his blades still work. I mean they are magical. They reapear if he trys to lose them
@@UnknownUser-bk2kf that's because they are cursed to him, powered by his rage. That's why some of his powers work since they are bound to him, not to the land itself
For people arguing about the blades: It's literally in the name. The Blades of CHAOS. Chaos is the primordial entity, not a concept. Primordial magic is prevalent throughout the pantheons.
Only in terms of magical power, 2018 Kratos is just as strong physically. In another boat story, Kratos mentions that his strength doesn't come from his body and that it is due to his nature as a god. He then tells Atreus, discipline is the reason he has muscles meaning that he still trains.
Hm thats probably why Kratos doesnt use Hermes Boots. The boots were one of the three things that werent destroyed in 3 and hes still seen with them at the end of the game. And im like 80% sure you could see the boots in his house in the 2018 reveal trailer
Actually that was the demo however they are no longer in any part of the 2018 or 2022 game. Maybe he did take them and we just cant see them but they'd be useless since greece "died" meaning the magical powers of the boots would be non existent
They gave Kratos essentially every ability known to man.. every element, time travel, fate manipulation, weapons/combat master, is immune to death, regeneration, unlimited stamina, God like strength, an unbreakable will, and last but not least RAGE😂💪🏽
I don't care what the creators say- old (GOW3) Kratos is most definitely stronger. From his powers, to his lack of care or regard. The current Kratos not only has emotional weaknesses(Atreus), but has lost a substantial lot of his equipment.
@@dweemiesdarkmount Hell or even imagining blades of exile found it's way to kratos those my favorite blades or even claws of hades bust out 1000 hit combo but sadly that was some of the many gear that got destroyed by astral form zeus
Kratos: "I used to be able to Double jump, let alone jump at all" Mimir: "Oh really? I knew you were Greek bröther but you never told me you had some Brazilian in you"
its a shame kratos always gets stripped of his powers, the gods took it in chains of olympus, they took his powers from 1 in 2 with the blade of olympus and got the titans powers, the titans betrayed kratos in 3 and he had to rebuild his power again, and again in 3 loses it all fighting zeus.
@@QaDri93 yeah but back in gow 2018 when it came out i was kinda hoping to see that and the other stuffs he plundered from those greek gods be of use somehow, but then again kratos can use just his fist to get the job done.
Kratos could just go and get the blade of Olympus again and steal the last of it power he'd probably gain his magic back for a bit, secondly everytime he used the the blade of Olympus he got stronger but he also had the power of hope inside him which he then released to the world so he lost about 50% of his strength just to give his last bit to kill Zeus and the other gods then he gained more by finally gaining the blade of Olympus again and well got back to maybe 40% of his strength
According to a like by the creator of GOW Corey barlag , when Kratos stabbed himself with the blade of Olympus he killed the soul of Hades but not his own as he had the power of “hope” hope was then expelled into the world but he also had hope still in him so he reabsorbed his Powers from the blade. That’s why the blade is extinguished at the end of GOW 3, also the blade is destroyed in the process of creating those knives Atreus has. The blade is gone.
Ahhhh so that’s why he wasn’t able to pull out wepons from his back magically anymore the blessing from Athena wore off due to the death of Greece along with All his magic items except the blades of choas
This statement is actually eye opening but also cryptic. For starters Kratos said he had a mythical power... I remember he became the god of war after killing Ares but never knew he had a power like Zeus lightning/Poseidon Water etc always thought of him as a tough demigod who had OP weapons but here he says he has 1... What is It? Also since Kratos God powers are gone bc his homeland is gone then explain how he's going head up with Odin and Thor. I say that to point out his "God Powers" aren't strength, durability, etc.
Kratos is calm and reasonable now only because he got help from a hell lot of people.. Back then, he is alone..all his family trying to end him. His blacksmith only help to betray.. If he never met faye, friend the hulda brother, etc.. If 1 day aesir wsnt to get rid of kratos, im pretty sure kratos will not be not so calm as he is as desperate to survive as the last pantheon..
the prequel book the blades are now cursed to forever follow kratos under every circumstance. So now the blades are no longer bound to greece but instead to kratos. its a cool little detail tbh
@@shinokami770 no. He got knocked out and brought back. Why do people keep bringing that up? These games make a point to try and show that kratos isnt trying to kill anything.
@@shinokami770 but even thor mentioned kratos wasn’t trying as much as he would? even after bringing him back he asked kratos too show him the “true god of war” and after kratos did, thor dipped 😂
Kratos was strong because the Pandora box he open to fight against Ares and he continues to fight until the end of GOW 3. So if all magic gone when he travel to norse mythology, then what Thor saying was true "they lost to this, lesser version of you" So does Kratos is strong than his old past or it the opposite
I feel like everything is leading up to something even bigger in the GOW series. Athena after dying from Kratos in GOW 2 was given eternal life so she came back as a spirit. But who gave her that power?! Maybe the answers to The mystery of all Creation Odin was trying to look for with that mask that only Atreause was able to read is somehow connected to these mysterious beings that only Athena knows of. Also where the hell is Athena? Haven't seen her in the game. Wtf Only one Answer remains... Aliens Jk
Man I wish they would visit Greece sometime and kratos takes freya mimir and who ever else wants to go with him. I mean he never killed Aphrodite and Artemis
@@GoBuckeyes216 well when all the gods died, this brought about a bunch of shit for Greece, Aphrodite and Artemis may be alive but they probably couldn't keep a good hold of Olympus. I believe greece could be visited and thoroughly believe they may show it a little next game but it'll be wrecked
@@Botinfinit he’s already been to egypt in a comic series bro, but yeah i understand why they’d give him one, its just that kratos is easily one of the most op characters ever , would be nice for the games to not try nd nerf him
@@Botinfinit idk I would say the Chinese pantheon the gods there would be pretty tough an example I think sun wukong aka monkey king would give Kratos a damn hell of a fight and be one of his hardest enemies to beat with wukong hax's abilities
Okay. That makes sense. Except why do the blades of chaos still work? It would make sense if they were nothing but heaps of metal until upgraded and they get a bit of a Norse touch but they work right off the bat in God of War 2018

its a shame kratos always gets stripped of his powers, the gods took it in chains of olympus, they took his powers from 1 in 2 with the blade of olympus and got the titans powers, the titans betrayed kratos in 3 and he had to rebuild his power again, and again in 3 loses it all fighting zeus.
Well he did it so he could die in part 3
More likely when Kratos stabbed himself with the Blade of Olympus, he released all his powers along with the power of hope.
So that's why he can't turn into a giant anymore.
i loved this little interaction it was so nostalgic
I think when he stabbed himself with blade of Olympus he infused his magical powers to the blade
so thats why kratos cant summon his icarus wings anymore.
Even when there’s no magic involved in those wings? 😂 nah he’d be too op with them in Ragnarok
@@QaDri93 yeah but back in gow 2018 when it came out i was kinda hoping to see that and the other stuffs he plundered from those greek gods be of use somehow, but then again kratos can use just his fist to get the job done.
@@QaDri93 in the games they were 100% magic
Funnily though, Kratos could still use magic according to mythology, since most Norse and Celtic magic is tracing and rune signs.
"Probably for the best"
Yes mate😂 for his opponents
Idk the axe is like a huge step up as far as I’m concerned glad he got the BoC back but an axe that comes back to its master? That’s pretty cool
Kratos could just go and get the blade of Olympus again and steal the last of it power he'd probably gain his magic back for a bit, secondly everytime he used the the blade of Olympus he got stronger but he also had the power of hope inside him which he then released to the world so he lost about 50% of his strength just to give his last bit to kill Zeus and the other gods then he gained more by finally gaining the blade of Olympus again and well got back to maybe 40% of his strength
According to a like by the creator of GOW Corey barlag , when Kratos stabbed himself with the blade of Olympus he killed the soul of Hades but not his own as he had the power of “hope” hope was then expelled into the world but he also had hope still in him so he reabsorbed his Powers from the blade. That’s why the blade is extinguished at the end of GOW 3, also the blade is destroyed in the process of creating those knives Atreus has. The blade is gone.
Kratos killed a whole realm?! Just imagine if he actually found his God of War power💯🐐
He’s still just as strong or stronger he just holds back, the other powers disappeared bc he wasn’t their original owner so they eventually died out
Ahhhh so that’s why he wasn’t able to pull out wepons from his back magically anymore the blessing from Athena wore off due to the death of Greece along with All his magic items except the blades of choas
This statement is actually eye opening but also cryptic. For starters Kratos said he had a mythical power... I remember he became the god of war after killing Ares but never knew he had a power like Zeus lightning/Poseidon Water etc always thought of him as a tough demigod who had OP weapons but here he says he has 1... What is It? Also since Kratos God powers are gone bc his homeland is gone then explain how he's going head up with Odin and Thor. I say that to point out his "God Powers" aren't strength, durability, etc.
I mean, he kept his immense strength and Spartan rage soo there's something of his power he kept
Guess he kept those powers that are bound to his own godhood hence spartan rage instead of rage of the gods/titans/olympus
"I let Icarus fall down a hole so I could use his wings to cross a casam. I miss flying like a bird"
Kratos is calm and reasonable now only because he got help from a hell lot of people..
Back then, he is alone..all his family trying to end him. His blacksmith only help to betray..
If he never met faye, friend the hulda brother, etc.. If 1 day aesir wsnt to get rid of kratos, im pretty sure kratos will not be not so calm as he is as desperate to survive as the last pantheon..
His homeland didn't die, but the pantheon sure faded.
And the Blades of Chaos still curse him now, even past the death off the world they came from
the prequel book the blades are now cursed to forever follow kratos under every circumstance. So now the blades are no longer bound to greece but instead to kratos. its a cool little detail tbh
Nemean cestus against Thor would have been neat.
Freya: "Behold my wings!"
Kratos: "Niiiice. What pathetic loser did you rip yours off of?"
Freya: "What?"
Kratos: "What?"
Meanwhile aphrodite is probably in Rome
Well…I mean he’s still super strong and can heal😂
Is that all .. didn’t he litr die to Thor
@@shinokami770 no. He got knocked out and brought back. Why do people keep bringing that up? These games make a point to try and show that kratos isnt trying to kill anything.
@@drewmyers3916 Zeus impaled him through the chest and it took a few extra seconds to fully kill him kratos banged his head and died
@@shinokami770 but even thor mentioned kratos wasn’t trying as much as he would? even after bringing him back he asked kratos too show him the “true god of war” and after kratos did, thor dipped 😂
@@cookiesandmylfs still died from a head concussion
Ah, so that’s how they Nerfed him.
Trueeee, thats very very sad he lost his powers because of the lore mechanics
Mimir is so cute when he starts geeking out about Kratos' background.
Don’t you mean.... Greeking lol
Kratos was strong because the Pandora box he open to fight against Ares and he continues to fight until the end of GOW 3. So if all magic gone when he travel to norse mythology, then what Thor saying was true "they lost to this, lesser version of you"
So does Kratos is strong than his old past or it the opposite
Spartan's rage, titan's rage, zeus lightning, atlas earthquake, lighting arrow and many more
I feel like everything is leading up to something even bigger in the GOW series. Athena after dying from Kratos in GOW 2 was given eternal life so she came back as a spirit. But who gave her that power?! Maybe the answers to The mystery of all Creation Odin was trying to look for with that mask that only Atreause was able to read is somehow connected to these mysterious beings that only Athena knows of. Also where the hell is Athena? Haven't seen her in the game. Wtf
Only one Answer remains... Aliens
Jk
Yeah but it looks like they wont go on this path... im so desapointed i wanted to know so bad WhatsApp Was in the breach
Man I wish they would visit Greece sometime and kratos takes freya mimir and who ever else wants to go with him. I mean he never killed Aphrodite and Artemis
But we know Greece is fucked...this has been said multiple times...
@@Hi-Fitxt but does that mean he can’t go back tho?
@@GoBuckeyes216 well when all the gods died, this brought about a bunch of shit for Greece, Aphrodite and Artemis may be alive but they probably couldn't keep a good hold of Olympus. I believe greece could be visited and thoroughly believe they may show it a little next game but it'll be wrecked
they tryna silently nerf kratos by saying his power died with greece
If he had all the powers and weapons he collected from all the games he’s gonna dominate all pantheons egypt,Hindu, the whole lot
@@Botinfinit the Hindus would have a chance especially with the trimurti they have some crazy feats.
@@Botinfinit he’s already been to egypt in a comic series bro, but yeah i understand why they’d give him one, its just that kratos is easily one of the most op characters ever , would be nice for the games to not try nd nerf him
@@Botinfinit idk I would say the Chinese pantheon the gods there would be pretty tough an example I think sun wukong aka monkey king would give Kratos a damn hell of a fight and be one of his hardest enemies to beat with wukong hax's abilities
Did mimir just basically say Hakuna Matata
Okay. That makes sense. Except why do the blades of chaos still work? It would make sense if they were nothing but heaps of metal until upgraded and they get a bit of a Norse touch but they work right off the bat in God of War 2018
He's the owner of that
Forever with him and his soul
