Atreus stabbed Baldur with mistletoe. In the myths, Loki disliked perfect Baldur, and used an arrow of mistletoe, the one thing Frigg (or Freya) did not make Baldur immune to, to kill him. The serpent said the boy seemed familiar to him. Loki is Jormungander’s father. The ship Kratos and Atreus escape Hel in is the Ship of Nails, the ship Loki is destined to sail at Ragnarok to bring down the gods, who in the game killed his people.
Holy freaking god of war my mind is blown right now.
Loki didnt actually use the arrow himself, he tricked Baldur's blind brother Hod to shoot him as an honor to his immortality
More like Baldur got 'accidentally' stabbed by the mistletoe on his quiver strap when he punched Atreus in the gut. You make it sound like Atreus wielded it.
Destiny Fvcker thats what happened in the game but he was talking about in actual norse mythology
Destiny Fvcker The original comment is talking about what happens in Norse Mythology, not the game.
It's a really good rework of Norse mythology don't you think?
When kratos said "we should finish this journey while I still have the strength" that is the equivalent to I'm getting to old for this shit
I think thats true and i think Atreus(Loki) will like take Kratos place
Nah I think it’s cause he is tired as they didn’t rest a second and there was constant fighting
Lets change that fate
@@theshuffler7197 ok
Kratos is sully confirmed
I like how the moment Baldur can feel he became a masochist
rightfully so
I mean can you blame him?
You cant really blame the guy I would too In all honesty
I mean he has been fantasizing about it. he was a masochist before just never did it yet.
After a life time of not feeling anything i guess any and all feelings became euphoric
Just realised that when Baldur said:"i thought your kind was supossed to be so enlightened,so much better than us",he wasn't refering to kratos as a god,but as a giant. Most likely Odin wanted to eradicate the gaints once and for all and he sent Bladur to finish the job
however, baldur said he didn't want to fight kratos he just wanted to know how to lift his curse if kratos had that information and gave it to him he would've left kratos alone
At that point I thought he was referencing how the Greeks have been regarded as founders of philosophy and having more "society" than the Norse.
@@CharlieQuartz me too
But if Orin knew he was a giant why wouldn’t he just send Thor
@@CrypticKnight985Thor already fought Faye and the same thing happened when Thor fought Kratos in their first fight, they stalemated and created the frozen lightning bolt. Odin probably figured Baldur would do better.
Thanos: your optimism is misplaced asgardian...
Loki: well for one thing...I'm not asgardian...
Thanos: ...?
Loki: and for another..........we have a kratos...
Rip Thanos
Spartan rage!!!
Kratos' face just slowly emerges from the darkness over Thanos' shoulder.
"Do not touch my boy."
Sounds of anger and Thanos becoming a little girl ensue.
You know that hulk gets trashed in that scene
@@TheWabungus
Yeah, but we're talking about Kratos. Hulk is a bitch if he can't even take down Thanos without the rest of the infinity stones. Plus, Kratos got his own infinity gauntlet so Thanos is fucked six ways from Sunday.
Freya: Why are you standing so far from me?
Kratos: Social distancing.
Hahaha
yay im early AND THE 101TH LIKER
@@nontuber4959 wow what an achievement.definitely an inspiration.
@@rpgames6922 yep
I thought I was the only person rewatching this in 2020
And the fact that Jormungandr responded immedietly after Atreus asked for help, seems to show that Jormungandr's familiarity with the boy activated his instincts, following his father's command instantaneously and unconditionally
Because In Norse mythology, Loki is Jormangandr's father.
@@kaIamos no shit sherlock
Yeah well I'm pretty sure Loki is a pretty good father in the mythos as well. The whole reason Ragnarok happened is because Odin feared Loki's children and trapped them all to try and avoid ragnarok, which only led to Loki and his children being pissed and Loki protecting his children and wife.
Gave me goosebumps. I can not wait for god of war: ragnarok. It feels so close
How did this minor create a snake out of a sperm?
19:00 Atreus: ive never been in a giants belly. Faye: allow me to introduce myself
This comment made me laugh like no other has
Woah
Holy... This game thought of everything about foreshadowing
@@dom20141 Faye is a giant, and is the mother of atreus
this is a clever comment
From the Start. "BOY!"
In the Middle. "Atreus."
To the End. "Son."
*Sniffs*
The journey was far beyond incredible
After that: “Loki”
Even later: “Puny god”
He calls him Atreus in the beginning of the game tho. Around the first troll fight.
Kratos used "Atreus" whenever he was actually worried about his boy throughout the enter series.

@@liamsweeney4754 UGLY FISH
I like how Freya claims she understands she made mistakes by robbing baldur of his feeling but the moment kratos and atreus undo her 'mistake' she's distraught shouting "NOOOOO!"
Yeah, that's sadly what breaks Freya's likeability/moral justifications for me. She says she's made mistakes but clearly doesn't mean it, else she would have broken the spell. Even seeing that Baldur is still miserable a century after she imposed the spell on him, she continues to insist that she knows better and does everything she can to prolong the source of his suffering.
By trying to save Baldur she creates his intense hatred for her, which is what leads to Kratos killing him.
@@drasilisk2895 It’s difficult. Wanting to protect your child, especially one destined to die is completely understandable and justified. Robbing them of all physical sensation to do so and refusing to undo when they describe the torture of it… I can absolutely sympathize with wanting to keep someone safe so badly you ending up hurting them, but Baldur can’t bring himself to see any good in it, because he doesn’t care if he dies, so long as he feels.
I don’t exactly blame her for trying, and she was willing to take the consequences of her actions. The problem is, Kratos wasn’t. Kratos is an eternal wild card in everyone else’s story. She could’ve never predicted his behavior.
@@drasilisk2895 Well when it comes down to it, she's a mother who so desperately wanted to keep her child safe. She didn't realize she was actually hurting him and at the end of the day no matter what he does or how horrible he is, she still loves him because he's her son.
@@mr.stuffdoer8483 The way i see it is that its like the one greek myth with achilles. The mothers got a prophecy their child will die in battle and they will do anything to make them not able to. In norse it was Baldur and in Greek was achilles. What both do have in common though is that the prophecy does happen and they both die in battle because the mothers took extra steps to protect them.
@@adammorin2955 the difference with Achilles is his invulnerability wasn’t a curse in his perspective. And with both of them, the protections likely kept them alive for longer (Baldur would’ve died at the start if he couldn’t heal) so it’s not like it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Freya trying to stop the fight
Baldur: Shut up Mother
Kratos: Shut up Woman
Sean: Yeah, Shut up
“Only the serpent and the guardian remain”
-Faye was the last jotnar guardian in Midgard
“When doom befalls the indestructible” -Baldur who was previously invulnerable, is killed by Atreus and Kratos
“only then shall the guardian return”
-Faye is returning to Jotunheim (her original home) except she’s returning as ashes
“We will wait for word that gods grow good”
-Atreus and Kratos are trying to be better than those who came before. They are trying to be good gods
*The writing in the this game is on point
TJ Roberts legit wisdom on the authors... splendid
I was thinking the same about "we will wait for word that gods grow good"
You think Jack saw your comment?
"A second hel"
TJ Roberts Actually Faye Gave Her Role As (The Guardian Of Jotunheim) To Kratos and Atreus As She Gave Her Axe To Kratos.
Atreus "So, you'd let me kill you?"
Kratos "If it means you live... yes."
Atreus *Adjusts quiver excitedly*
😂😂😂😂😂
hahah yeah i waited for his reaction haha
WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE, IF ATREUS IS LOKI, THAT MAKES HIM THE FATHER OF THE WORLD SERPENT
@@dogeofomen6732 yes, that Snake was punched so hard by Thor during Ragnarok until he passed the time before even he was born and met his BOI dad
Eastern Spy holy crap
I love how Kratos & Atreus essentially adopted Mimir into their family. And I love how they did the credits
39:25 i think the reason Baldur was so confused in this part was because its his first time actually FEELING Kratos's Spartan Rage. In their previous battles, Kratos used it, but he couldn't tell the difference. At most, he probably felt the impact knocking him back slightly more, but since everything is numb, he couldn't feel the difference in power Now though, he's actually realizing how much strength Kratos gains when he stops holding back
He literally cannot feel anything. I don’t think he could feel the impact
@@revthescatman137 oh good point. but by that I meant like, he felt himself getting knocked back more strongly. there's no way he doesn't any impact at all, considering he grunts and reacts to kratos's punches. at most, maybe he feels like a numb touch everytime he gets hit, but he's not completely devoid of "feeling", otherwise there'd be no reaction from him at all
@@DaDerpyCarrot he can't feel the pain but he does get knocked back. It's like how if you push a rock it'll move but won't feel it
The Spartan Rage isn’t Kratos “not holding back” it’s him holding back slightly less. It’s going from him using 1% of his power to 2%
@@landonadams9935i don't think it's 1 percent of his strength because in the novels it's mentioned that baldyr is alot stronger than many greek gods
I just realized that when the World Serpent said Atreus seemed familiar is because Atreus is Loki and Loki is the father of Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel.
Jörmungandr is the World Serpent.
That is absolutely one goddamn confusing twist
Yeah, Jack addressed that.
That's the original story but game developer has their own version of it
ailah amigos what’s the developer’s story?
@@SoupSackHandle watch the whole game play of God of War 4

to think, every time he said "is that loki?" "was that loki?" loki was just standing there beside him, I love this series
Thor wanted to recruit Kratos for Infinity War
kakashi hatake this is funny😂😂
kratos is gonna kick ass
kakashi hatake lol
kratos would make hulk cry 😂😂😂
The movie would be half length if that happened
"I killed my father."
My guy, dont be shy now. You killed your entire family tree
Lol this is good, thanks
Lmaoo
When you realize the only deceased family member he hasn’t killed is Faye
Did he killed the rest of Greek gods?
Like Aphrodite?
@@JoeH3rz-3 he killed literally EVERYBODY in Greece including all of the gods, the underworld and put the world (or Greece) into chaos
the way kratos and atreus teamed up and took turns punching baldur at 41:24 just makes me so happy
when Baldur died, freya got to feel exactly what he felt when she took away his feeling. They kinda make it that way when she said that they robbed her of everything after they saved her life, especially since thats what she was trying to do for baldur. just a thought
yeah, i don't know how she didn't understand what baldur was feeling and saying. she was incredibly selfish towards him. she condemned him to a fate worse than death all so that he would be "alive" and she would be happy knowing that. he atleast died happy and feeling something for once.
@justarandompepe8961 yes but you have to think of it from her point of view as well. Or kratos. They'd do anything to protect their kids from harms way. Freya took the selfish and only way she could. Kratos killed heimdall to protect his son. Both trying their best to protect their children. Both not good options
@@Broken_Everlark7wait, heimdall was in the game? I didn’t notice him, now I gotta rewatch all over

This comment threw me off because I read it before that scene happened yet, lol.
The question is,Lenon Melric D'Souza,Are you a calm and reasonable person?
if it calls for calm
Do you think Kratos is a calm and reasonable person?
Been playing the game while watching this playthrough for the first time as I got ragnarok for Christmas and that cliffhanger got me to open up the the game case faster than ever😂
I watched 4 minutes of the first episode of God of War: Ragnarok, and then decided to watch this series since I hadn't yet. It's taken me three days to finish it, and I have fallen in love with the story and characters so much(I also want to learn a lot more about Norse mythology). Now I get to jump right into watching the sequel! After all the twists at the end of this I am super excited to start that and see where the story goes.
Literally the exact same thing I'm doing, and WOW what an incredible story!
i did literally the same. the story is so good! ❤️😭
Lmao me too!! Just finished today😂
Did that just now, but I'm going to hold out until I can play it on ps5 SO EXCITEDDDDDD
I've been watching the Ragnarok series Jack has on his channel and go so upset after having to wait for tomorrow to see the next upload so I rewatched this and omg the twist in Ragnarok is just OWJSJDHDUJDHDHD
at 19:02
Atreus: *I’ve never been in a Giant’s belly either*
A little foreshadowing, we later find out that it’s actually Atreus’s second time in a Giant’s belly, since Faye was a Giant and she gave birth to him.
Lol
Good point
Lol true
Yep
Wow didnt even think ‘bout that
Kratos- “I have nothing more to hide”
Boi- “Father...why is your skin white?”
Kratos- “...a question for another day...”
Oof 🤣🤣
We don't talk about that
Isn't it grey ashes of his wife and daughter
now that i think about it, atreus shoulve been brown since kratos is brown when he was a kid
@@kloeto8745 I mean we don't know what his mother looked like.
The fact that Kratos is like "Come here boy lemme tell you a story" after Freya kinda threatens Kratos with the knowledge she knows that Atreus doesn't is so cool. I love how Kratos goes from not letting Atreus know anything and being naive to telling his son everything so that no one has that power over him and he can have a stronger relationship with his son.
Also, Atreus being Loki explains why he was depicted with wolves around him. Those wolves were likely Fenrir and Fenrir's sons, Skoll and Hati. Fenrir is the son of Loki, as is Jormungandr. Another thing it explains is the fact that Atreus could so easily read, and speak at the very end, the giants' tongue.
Loki creates the world serpent through an act of magic, either turns Kratos into the serpent or creates it from his rage. Why else do you think the serpent has light skin and has a beard? Also has red patterns.
It would make a lot of sense for sure. Also would be kinda cool haha
When I noticed the design similarities between the serpent and Kratos when they first showed it I started wondering about this kind of thing, it's been in the back of my mind this whole playthrough, now there's finally a possible explanation behind it :0 so cool!
Fucking hell you are a genius
Literally it makes very much sense, even when mimir says that when the serpent clashed with Thor and went back in time before it's birth. Wow, I'm mind blown.
Omfg...
If Kratos was to become Jormungander then shouldn't he be able to understand what Jormungander was saying? because it would be him from the future...
The World Serpent is literally the grandson of Kratos.
I guess you could say he's a pretty big *BOI*
Odin: I am the father of all!!
Kratos: I'm Fenrir's grand-daddy. I can place the Great Wolf over my knee - I shall place you there, too, and you shall be much wiser after THIS ordeal, I assure you.
Mimir: But Odin is blessed with foresight of all things, physical OR magical --
Kratos: QUIET, HEAD.
Atreus: Hey uh, hey dad?
Kratos: Boy.
Atreus: Odin's horse keeps calling me his mom. I think I actually gave birth to him. Like, as a girl.
Odin: ... This I did not foresee.
Kratos: We shall speak of this later, boy.
Atreus: Girl.
Kratos: DO NOT TAKE THE PATH OF TUMBLR. IT SHALL BRING YOU NO PEACE
DracoHandsome god, someone animate this...
I guess thats why Kratos didn't want Atreus to know his *TRUE* nature...
This better be pinned comment of the year
DracoHandsome
Atreus: Hey Dad come here.
Kratos:what is it boy?
Atreus:Some dude on the internet made fan art of us.
Kratos:Who?
Atreus: He's called sha...
Ktatos: *YOU DO NOT SPEAK OF HIM BOY!*
Small details about this game that I love, now that this is the last video and spoilers are essentially moot by way of age: Kratos stops using slang and is very drawn out and blunt(No contractions, short sentences whenever he can afford them) because he's speaking Nordic, not Greek. Like Atreus says, "You can already speak it, why not learn to read it?" Kratos has no idea what characters are saying in another language(The first Ogre you fight, Jormmungandr, the Dark Elves) and there are no subtitles for that because he's not Really listening to them, but you *do* get them for Atreus and Mimir because Kratos is always focusing on what they say, especially in combat where they call warnings. Baldur has the World Serpent's coils tattooed on his back. Freya has Hawk feathers in her hair, hinting at her ability to shape into one(Her house is also like a burrow, and has wooden trim like a bird's nest). When going down the River to get the Blades, you pass the first Dock you start the game at. If you didn't break the stave in that specific spot, the magic in the boat probably would have fried and left Kratos swimming, they really missed no details. On the painted wall of the Giants, up at the top is Mimir and his tree, both symbolizing that he was up high, and his role on the journey, because his head is highlighted in gold. Freya struggles most in the Final Battle with pulling the Chisel from the giants head, because the spell she's under prevents her from harming both living AND dead, so damaging the Giants Corpse probably put her under strain from it...meaning if she follows through on the "Parading your broken body to every corner of every realm" it would be agonizing for her, so if she really does, that's some dedication. The World Serpent doesn't actually spit the ax back at you, he just opens his mouth and the Ax comes flying because it is enchanted to return. Mimir only blinks the eye he still has, until both are restored. The World Serpent is so helpful, says he recognizes Atreus, because Loki is Jormmunganders father, and likely knew of this journey. In actual Norse Mythology, we aren't actually sure if Loki is real. His only mentions are from after Christianity kinda steamrolled that part of the world. So explaining that by having him be the son of a god from Greece and a Giant? Clever as FUCK! That's all for now!
@scoutchujohnston7203, your comment makes me love this game even more. THANK YOU
really appreciate your perspective to give me new reasons to love this game (and Sean's playthrough!), you're really insightful :)
Never noticed this before but when Kratos gets between Freya and Baldur at 28:50 she says his name. Kratos never told her his name so she must have figured out who exactly he was. Just a neat detail I thought I'd mention.
Yeah she knows who he is because she talks about his past when kratos kills baldur and that the boy doesn't know enough about his past.
Wow! I never noticed she said his name.
Lemme just.. 52:03
"You changed somthing"
Well magni and modi were supposed to survive ragnarok and they didn't even live to see it.... so yeah I think something _has_ changed
I suppose Kratos killing the fates did have a impact on this realm as well.
Oooh good point
@@geohiekim8705 Different fates. The Norse Fates are the Norns.
@@Bluesit32 I know, but fates are fates. Kratos is Greek ;therfore he killed *his* fates, and may be able to alter others'.

To watch on TH-cam ;-;
No cap
You are correct
I like how one of the panels of the future, the broken one at 1:07:55 shows atreus walking with the wolves in iron wood. It's just soooo cool how the game developers already had that part planned out.

Baldur's fight with Kratos was like a drunk stepfather finally stepping in against the son who gets physically violent with his mom

MCBlooper lol it’s all good, and ya you right about that
@@dadgamer6633 thx
Yeah.. Even his father can't Dodge it
I like how they obscured Atreus real identity in such a clever way. Faye was short for “Laufey” the whole time. And Loki’s father is Farbauti the “Cruel Striker”, it wouldn’t be a stretch for the Norse to refer to Kratos as such. Then add the fact that the World Serpent mentions recognizing Atreus, who is actually his father Loki, and how that fits in with the myth of Jormungandr being sent back in time before his own birth, how Atreus’ mistletoe broke Baldrs spell (similar to the myth) etc etc they did a really good job at building this story and making sense of Kratos place in the Norse world
flex luthor Thanks for explaining
I'm having mythgasms now...
It's canon. Borak tells that Faye is actually Laufey.
flex luthor Thank you so much for the info it flew right over my head
oH FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT
This makes Baldur's weird behavior at the house make more sense. He kept saying things like you already know what he wants, he thought Kratos knew because he thought he was a giant. I also remember him saying at one point during that 1st fight, I'm not my brother. I need to rewatch it to decide what I think it means, but it sounds like he was trying to reason with Kratos, like when he said I just needed answers & tell me what I want, pain stops. Everyone know about Thor's essential genocide of the giants (per Odin's orders. It's important to remember that part), it sounds like Baldur was saying give us the information we want & I won't kill you.
at 24:16, we can finally confirm that Sean's entire house is actually in Jörmungandr's belly, as evidenced by his camera rumbling. It seems he must be much further down, at least much further than Dad and Boy traveled, evidenced by the camera delay
“You are just an animal… Passing on your cruelty and rage, you will never change!”
“… Then you do not know me.”
I’ve never even touched a God of War game… But the weight behind those words wasn’t lost on me.
You're right. Because he did worse than Snapping a man's neck. I also wonder how old Freya and Baldur was.
I feel bad for kratos his childhood were ruined
He beat the holy ness out of Poseidon
@@MariusBoss11458 well freya put the thing on Baldur when he was born and during the fight baldue said he waited 100 years for this moment. So o guess baldur is approx 100

@@vrmpyr Well, the world serpent was born from his Giant wife. He didn't bang a snake. Fenrir and Hel probably also were born that way. He did birth Sleipnir so... yeah.
@@aaronli1812 I don't think Angrboða was Loki's wife but yeah
I have a face of disgust right now.
Signs of Atreus being Loki from a Norse nerd: (non-exhaustive)
-His mother being named Faye, similar to the name Laufey, the mother of myth Loki. (Also similar to Farbauti, his Giant father)
-His animal related bow attacks, particularly the fact the first one brought wolves.
-Everything about the mistletoe set-up would key most Norse nerds in on who Atreus is. In myth, Loki orchestrates the death of Baldur at his blind brother Hodr's hand. Frigg had gotten everything to swear never to harm Baldur except mistletoe. Loki learned this, crafted a mistletoe dart, and guided Hodr to throw it when the others made a game of throwing weapons at Baldur.
-Jormungandr being familiar with him.
-Using his words to hurt Sindri the way he did.
-His fighting being more calculating than brute force.
-Many comments on him being very smart.
I'm sure there are many more I caught but can't think of at this moment!
Also the fact that the first thing Atreus asks Kratos the moment he tells him he’s a god is whether or not he can turn into animals
If you listen to the soundtrack, specifically "God of War", Kratos is addressed as Farbauti
"he saved your life!"
"HE ROBBED ME OF EVERYTHING. {sobbing} EVERYTHING...!"
you can definitely hear the agony in her voice when she exclaims this, and i bet in her mind she'd rather be dead than to have the last thing she cherished taken away from her, which is why she wanted her last words to baldur be "i love you" because she truly did care for her child more than anything else
When Kratos said “the cycle ends here” Zeus told Kratos the same thing in GoW2. Kratos quotes his own father when he was trying to kill him
I’m ready for God of War: Ragnarok
Breeka I was thinking that would be a good name too
I read your comment and I was like. Holy shit this might be the new game title (possibilities!)
Great title

I can just imagine the world serpent saying in his mind as he arrives to help "I'm a snakeeee"
This comment is excellent 😆🤣
I love baldurs voice actor you can hear in his voice how broken of a man he is and the emotion is so spot on
Even to this day, I still love Jack’s reaction to the “Years Later”.
*sees it*
*takes a moment*
“Wait, what?”
Its cuz his timing on camera and game is a little off
So they actually slept that long?
I always imagine that what if the game didn't end there. What if the game continued like another 8 hours. That would be the best, "fake-ending scene" in the gaming history.
Nyan Cat no I think they just looked the same bc kratos drops his axe on the floor when he sleeps but when he wakes up he takes it off a pillar
@@alpal345 ahh, game logic wasn't thinking I get it
the world serpent is loki's son....thats why the world serpent said that atreus's face is familiar to him
Also, the wolf in front of him at the wall, that is Fenrir, another son of Loki.
Sakib uddin Mondal Well... It isn't out of the realm of possibility. Atreus has many unknown abilities to be discovered, and shape-shifting might be one of them. At the same time though, what sort of reaction would cause a giant serpent?... Unless that snake is Atreus... Meh, who knows?
@@raymanfreak7739 the snake can't be him because in Old Norse myth, the world serpent is supposed to kill Thor and Thor killing it during Ragnarok. I believe Atreus can shapeshift like Loki can, but not that.
Ezra Boger Well, That’s Because the World Serpent was fighting Thor, then all of a sudden, The Serpent was struck back in time. Which leads him to now.
Ezra Boger So yes. He was fighting Thor, and even was supposed to kill him, but Thor brought him to the present time.

The "Loki" twist at the end will always be one of my favourites in all of gaming. They played it so well. Most games leave their twist to the end but they impact the experience straight away. This one? Nonono, they drop a bombshell on you that has no immediate implications, but allows your mind to run every corner of Norse mythology to try and figure out how that will affect the sequels. Amazing work by Cory Barlog.
Cory actually said he didn't come up with it but when he was pitched the idea, he wished he did.
Ryan Murray this is like the Luke I am your father of god of war
I reckon the one thing most people don't realise is that in Norse mythology, Loki isn't Odin's son unlike the avenger movies
Even in the MCU Loki wasn't Odin's true born son, he was adopted. His true parents were frost 'GIANTS'.
@@almondsai7214 does the "giants" have different tribes or kind?
I just realised, at 1:07:51, the painting of Atreus with the wolves, I think that's referencing when Atreus goes to Ironwood in God of War Ragnarök, when he first arrives there and gets led by the pack of wolves to Angrboda
I thought the 3 wolves were Speki Svanna and Fenrir.
It’s cool how much of a resemblance there is between Kratos and Jormungandr.
I'd like to imagine kratos actually is Jormungander in the future.

I like how kratos just lays down on mimir.

@@hahacrackhead4100 I doubt they actually slept for years, but it sure would feel like it for poor Head.

@@Josh-oc7ib I'm not sure that would apply to Kratos and Atreus, but I'm not too informed on mythology in general, anyway.
Also, THREE CENTURIES?! Talk about cold feet!
I just realised, in Norse mythology, Loki has female attributes and characteristics, but goes by male pronouns. When you first meet brok kn the bridge and he says “you are a boy, aren’t you?” I just find the slight foreshadowing to Atreus being loki interesting.
Oh that foreshadowing within Norse mythology is just beautiful
Oh I figured it was because of his height in comparison
If you look back on the game knowing the Loki twist there's so many moments of foreshadowing that you could completely miss until then. The one with Brok you mentioned, him figuring out mistletoe was Baldur's weakness, him being able to speak to Jormungandr for seemingly no reason, in GOW Ragnarok, there are things that line up with his mythology as well, him and heimdall hating each other and Kratos killing Heimdall is because in the actual Ragnarok myth, Loki and Heimdall kill each other, him and Thor going on missions together is a fun nod to their shenanigans in the actual mythology, the only player missing from Loki's lore is the goddess Hel, but that would be kinda hard to do in this story with Loki being a kid, but it does stay true to the prophecy of Loki having Hel's army at Ragnarok, but Hel herself is absent.
@@coolmanplayz438hel probably comes later as she’s the daughter of loki and angrboda in myth :0
@melouch9895 Jormungändr and Fenrir are too, but they're seen in the game already. I was just speculating about why Hel wouldn't be in the game, because in mythology, she is born at the same time as her siblings
THE REVELATION, THE EMOTION, THE NOSTALGIA this entire game is a MASTIERPIECE!!
"When doom befalls the indestructible." Baldur was indestructible, and now he's dead, doom befalled him, then immediatly after he died snow started falling, thus the start of Ragnarok.
That's what i said
Maybe in the next game Atreus time travels and he's the who called the world serpent
@@manjushreedhamanage8475 never thought of that, that would be amazing

Faye’s name was also a hint, since it’s close to Loki’s mother’s name, Laufey
And Loki was the one who killed Baldr with mistletoe, which causes Fimbulwinter
It’s so obvious and yet it’s still a twist
I think what may have happened is that kratos sealed his destiny when he killed the sisters of fate. and instead of loki being taken in by odin he was taken in by kratos. this is an incredible game and I absolutely loved watching this. this series brings comfort and joy to me every time I watch it.
Holy shit, it actually made a ton of sense now. Loki in the original Norse myths was never the adopted son of Odin. That's just the MCU version. Loki's ties with odin was actually unclear in the mythology, with the popular beliefs that he's blood brothers with Odin. His alligience to the Aesir was also never clear. In the myth, Loki's parentage was said to be of the giants, and faye was also a giant! Loki also somehow fathered three irregular children, the world serpent, a giant wolf called fenrir and Hel the half rotten lady (ruler of, you guessed it, hell). This explains why the world serpent was familiar to Atreus whem they first met, it's since he time travelled from the future! This shit got me hyped up. In the original Norse myth, Ragnarok started when Loki tricked Baldr's blind brother to shoot him with a mistletoe arrow. In the game Atreus broke Baldr's gift/curse with the mistletoe on his bowstring, which lead to Kratos killing Baldr! And then the snow fell. In both the myth and this game, Ragnarok begins with a long winter. Holy shit, It's all clicks! obviously the game took some creative liberty, but it still makes sense.
Tan Ten I guess that explains in the old Hercules series starring Kevin Sorbo, Loki (disguised as a little girl) gave the mistletoe to Hercules who then pricked it on Baldur's palm.
btw, to complete your perfect description of the myth. it's said that Loki is a giant, a Jotun, but actually the myth only said his mother was a giant. his father is never mencioned, so tecnically nothing in the myth is against being the son of the greek's god of war.
juan f Actually his father is a giant. It is unclear if Faye was also a giant or a goddess or maybe even something else
Isn't it also in the myth that Loki turned into a mare and birthed Slephnir(sp) Odin's horse with 8 legs?
Tan Ten And here I thought I was the only one who got the lore.

my god, in that prophecy picture thing, the runes next to faye and under her funeral pyre name her "laufey" and the runes next to kratos name him "farbauti"... u know, like loki's parents. that's so cool
Do the runes say anything else
@@adamschmidt3434 i sent the link to the full translation
those were the only ones i could make out (since, u know, i don't Actually know how to read runes fluently...)
i am curious the full translation tho
Loki also kills baldur with mistletoe in Norse mythology
Yes. Fun fact, faye was the5 nickname kratos gave to her by kratos, as spartans have a habit of using nicknames instead of actual names, to shorten the sentences they speak, hence using "boy" and "head". Also if im right, farbauti means 'cruel striker' right? Fits kratos its awesome
I love how during Baldur's fight they let Atreus shine (when they were fighting on the giant's chisel). He went from barely being able to kill an elk to being able to shoot upside down MID AIR.
best moment in the game tbh
The *boy* truly is a badass.
That was truly fucking dopeass Rad 😎
@@thedailybullshit4033 just did my first playthrough (I know 3 years later) and watching Atreus jump off of the chisel with NO fear, was amazing
From useless to Legolas in less than 12 hours (in game time).
Sure.

"Thought you'd be bigger. But you're definitely the one"
"Long way from home, aren't you?"
"Oh, you already know the answer to that"
"And here I thought your kind was meant to be so enlightened. So much better than us. So much smarter"
Before, I thought Baldur knew he was from Greece and that there may have been some history there,
but he actually said this thinking he was a Giant
Seeing this again after the end of Ragnarök is great.
Spoilers:
To think Faye "arguing" with the other giants was that she didn't agree with the way this prophecy was to end, so she litterally smashed that which was set in stone and gave her live to set another path in motion.
The Nornes say there is no fate, only choices and the big ones are basically unchangable. A big change in the path ahead requires a big change in the person who will make the decision.
So Faye sent Kratos and Atreus on a painful and dangerous journey that would make them grow in character and relationship, to ultimately change one detail about the prophecy. Ragnarök came to pass exactly how it was predicted, the only change is that Odin is in Kratos place. It took this much to change one detail. Going against "fate" seems expensive.
Imagine Kratos wasn't forced to open himself to Atreus by this journey. He probably would never have told him any of this. Baldur was looking for Faye, so the confrontation was inevidable. Kratos would have found a way to kill Baldur, while Odin would come to Atreus to tell him "the truth" (and a lot of lies). That was probably what the prophecy with him serving Odin was all about.
If the cold and hard Kratos from the game's beginning told Atreus not to go to Odin, he wouldn't have thought twice about it I suppose. Lying to or harming your children for their protection has never done any good in God of War.
Kratos would have pulled a second Olympus on Asgard to get Atreus back, leading Raganrök as the God of War (instead of Týr) and ultimately dying to save Atreus. That's my guess.
I think nothing less than Faye's death would have had enough of an impact to change Kratos' and Atreus' hearts. All this for one important decision that Kratos makes in the end, leading to a slightly alternative outcome.
The writing in this is marvelous and all this while keeping the basics of norse mythology more intact than any other modern story I've seen so far.
In the prophecy you can see Atreus with wolves which portrays him in ironwood
Bro thanks for the spoiler alert. Was about read the whole thing. I’m going to start the next game. Thanks again
@@XedElectrix hahaha np. Glad it worked. Come back after you finished it 😏
This is like the only commemt that I’ve seen that explains how Kratos survived ragnarok, I never noticed that the stone with Atreus holding kratos’s dead body is the EXACT same position as Odin’s death!

Oh shit and he’s a time traveler so it adds up
I magine the first time they meet him he actually said "Oh my gods, dad?!"
Something I was confused by throughout the series is why there wasn’t any stories about Loki given how many stories he is in but now it all makes sense… none of it has happened yet
And thus concludes the adventures of Boi, Dad Of Boi, and Head Of Belt... for now!
However, when Kratos inevitably has to fight Thor, I fully believe that Kratos will be forced to retreat for the first time ever. Think of it like this: Baldur was a significant foe, but he's just an angy boi with extra toughness. Thor, on the other hand, is the warlord whose genocides are the stuff of literal legends (at least that's how he is portrayed in this). Plus, Thor would have a lot of anger specifically toward Kratos and Atreus, as they are responsible for the deaths of his demigod sons.
Cause for concern.

Interesting tidbit not many people notice: If you look at Kratos on the prophecy wall, you see the runes spell out "Farbauti". In Norse mythology, this is the name of Loki's father, though he's mentioned only 5 times, and always in relation to Loki being his son. The name can mean, among other possible translations, "One who strikes with hostility". As far as I can tell, there are two different possible reasons for this. One: the giants cared little for Kratos beyond his role in prepping Ragnarok and enacting vengeance upon the Aesir, and so simply called him by what he was to do once Loki was ready. Two: the giants saw Kratos as one of their own, fathering their champion and bringing about their great plan, and thus gave him a name in their own tongue.
