KEY MOMENT of this Video:
- Brok blesses Spear
- Brok blessed the spear - เกม
The fact that Kratos shows such humility proves not only how much he's grown, but also how much he truly respects Brok.
Yea bro, he really respects brok. He probably broken af rn too
Kratos always had a level of humidity but certainly was more shut off at the start of the last game. Certainly was nice to see him open up as his adventures with Atreus and co went on.
"May it be put down when its job is done."
What a wonderful line to use in a blessing for a weapon carried by Kratos, of all people. That may be my favorite line in all of media.
The Blades of Chaos: The weapons that once enslaved him to the will of Ares
The Leviathan Axe: The weapon passed down to him by the woman he loved
The Draupnir Spear: The weapon built by his friend to help protect his son and those he cherishes
There’s one weapon he loathes, an other he feels sentimental to, and the other that was forged to divert fate whether he likes it or not
The blades are his past, the axe is his present, Draupnir spear is his future.
@@davidpagan8559 I like that dude it makes perfect since
@@thatguyoddly4610Im sorry... but my grammar impulses wants me to tell you...
*sense
@yeng1855 no you good I sometimes have a hard time telling which is appropriate for this case so if anything thank you
You can tell Kratos prefers Brok’s company and understood the situation of what happened, he picked his friend up, shows the character development of Kratos from GOW 1 to now
When Gods grow good.
He probably understands that one's own death is kind of a touchy subject
Kratos respects Brok because Brok treats Kratos like anyone and everyone else. I think Kratos liked being treated like a normal dude for once.
Also Sindri tried to fight him once.
@@matthewriley7826 Kratos respects Sindri as well. He was ready to throw hands in honor of Faye.
Definitely teared up. My man Kratos is becoming a good person.
He basically is already a good person. He’s the only one not advocating for war or following fate and he’s the one taking interest in helping other people now unlike the last game where it was mainly Atreus wanting to help and Kratos going along just for the resources and experience
Funny how a video game can do that, right? Great storytelling.
There’s 2 things I love about this.
1. Kratos showing humility and kneeling before a being he respects. In Kratos’ eyes, Brok is truly a great blacksmith. I believe Kratos truly believes the blessing is crucial because of the lesson Brok taught him just before that he repeats.
2. Kratos seeing his friend in pain. He’s hurt, and rightfully so. He doesn’t try to tell Brok to calm down. He knows Brok won’t just calm down. But he knows he can’t let his friend spiral, so he changes the subject and uses the moment to reiterate a lesson he was just taught and do something to help Brok feel better.
One of the moments that Kratos fights his nature and proves the prophecy of him being a benevolent god is his true path. A moment that HE opens his heart.
People forget that Kratos is actually pretty smart. He is angry a lot of times, but very smart.
@@harundoener I don’t think anyone thought that. Also Kratos relating to Brok and acknowledging his legendary skill has nothing to do with being smart or not. Kratos was angry before in the original trilogy and his emotions would’ve never allowed him to pick up someone like he did here for Brok. This was him listening to Faye and opening his heart and not closing it like he’d been doing until now
@@harundoener Rage does not equal stupidity. It blinds you, sure, but only to outside influence. It's the literal equivalent of horseblinders.
I'll save you the whole spiel, and let's just suffice it to say, that sometimes, that focus is more of a blessing than a curse.
I wish I could like this comment 5 times..
I finished the game. And knowing everything I know now.
This blessing meant absolutely everything
The blessing from a great blacksmith.
@@UN1VERS3S and think about the amount of respect kratos has for brok to bow to him and his craft on one knee. True friendship
Just finished the game and this scene makes me ugly cry for some reason
The greatest blacksmith in the nine relms
“It is the nature of a thing that matters, not it’s form”
There was something so cathartic about this. As we saw kratos nature change, to one of father and caring friend. This was the cherry on top of his growth as a character for me. Definitely in my top 5 gaming moments.
And it shows that he listens and learns from brok. He used Bork’s own quote on him
Kratos understood this well. I’m sure he got around to talking to Plato.
He would later mention this to Freya as well
I guess it shows how much he took it to heart
One of the few times we see Kratos' anger get the best of him in this whole game is when Atreus tells him to stop thinking like a father and start thinking like a general. He's trying so hard to not be who he was.
I live this game.
i play this part last night and i almost cried like a child
Brother, you are not alone
@@matthsant you my brothers are not alone
X2
I did cry and I did again watching this.. Respect is powerful.
I cried too... Also because of the father and son cutscenes
The thing is I do think she mermaid blessed the weapon. Look at the hand gesture she does before she leaves. Shows Kratos cared more for the blessing of Brok than that mermaid. Which makes sense. He's a spartan. Spartans wouldnt care about any magic. But they would definitely respect the craft of a great blacksmith that makes fine weapons of war.
Just realised that this whole segment is 3 bald bearded bros going on an adventure.
This proves that Kratos temperament has come a very long way compared to when he was still living in Greece and i think Broks was Kratos only true friend
Both mimir and brok. He calls mimir by his name now and not just head
@@Moonscentedhunter He also writes in the codex that Mimir is the closest thing he has to a “brother” (like how Mimir always called him brother and Atreus lil brother)
@@josephstalin2606 and also in this game kratos has a line where he calls mimir brother
Mimir is more like family than a friend since he lived with them way before living with the dwarves
He also considers Sindri a friend. After Brok dies and Kratos and Atreus goes to talk to Sindri Atreus says: “I thought we were his friends” and Kratos replies with “we were” showing that he considers Sindri a friend, I would say that he also considers Freya a friend because of what she did to help them on their journey in God of War 2018, hence why he never attacked her when she was attacking them and why he told Atreus she is not their enemy before the reconciled.
As a hardcore GoW fan, seeing this kratos brings a tear to my eye. My boy has been through hell and back literally, lost a lot, destroyed so much and now he is empathetic of others. That’s true growth. Becoming empathetic of others. not many humans show that anymore.
I just realized that this not only shows Kratos’ development as a mortal but also his role as the “god of war.” He realized the importance and sacredness of his weapon and Brok as a legendary blacksmith. That blessing meant everything.
I love how he uses Broks words against him. It's truly beautiful how he respects brok to even use his words.
Who knew that a blue dwarf saying a few words over a spear would be my favourite scene of the entire game...
I love how form vs nature is a subtle nod to Kratos and how he's changed over the games. He still takes the form of a warrior and a fierce fighter...he's still the form of the God of War.
But his nature has changed. He now fights for those he cares about and not for revenge. He avoids conflict rather than looks for trouble. He shows genuine kindness and respect to his friends, and humility when he realizes when he's wrong. And this is what matters to the story...not the fact that he still fights, but his reason for fighting.
This was the most human we have ever seen Kratos. He has never cared for the feeling of anyone. This moment was one of the most beautiful moments in gaming!
Orkos
@@dariogomez8921 I don't know what that means?
@@Jedtgilli think he's speaking the language of the gods 😅
He is talking about god of war ascensions and the son of ares orkos who kratos killed against its own will and this was another moment that we saw kratos human again
I will admit that I teared up a bit at this scene.
Proof that you don’t need loved character’s deaths in a story to make you cry.
until he did and it becomes so sad afterward.
It’s really obvious but when brok gives his blessing a small part of raeb’s laments starts playing, foreshadowing his death
Good catch. Makes the whole thing ever sadder.
but doesnt he outright states he died?
@@kep3898no like his full death
@@kep3898 the comment above was talking about a bit later in the game, where Odin, disguised as Tyr, kills Brok (again and, since he doesn't have all of his soul bits, there's no afterlife or reviving him back whatsoever)
Only makes Sindri anger harder to understand. Kratos gave his brother best last moments he could imagine
When someone loses someone close to them it’s easy for them to become irrational. Sindri was angry because he feels like he gave everything he had and for that they let an undercover Odin sleep under his roof and kill his only family he has left. The reality is that Odin is the only one to blame but in Sindris irrational mind he blames Atreus for starting the whole journey to begin with
@@josephstalin2606 sad.
Atreus was the only person he confided in the most even more than Brok. Atreus screwed him over multiple times (unintentionally), and the death of Brok was the last straw especially since there’s no afterlife for Brok due to one of his souls missing. Sindri’s anger isn’t misplaced.
@@maroon_le6681 There's no afterlife for Brok because of Sindri, he fucked his friend over himself, it's like he's so arrogant he's shifting the blame onto others
@@LoLaSn Sometimes, grief blinds us to rationality and we just go about lashing out at everyone/everything else but ourselves. Because it is easier to blame than to accept.
That subtle nodding of Brok. Oh my it's so perfect.
I will forever love this moment in gaming because of what it truly represents. Kratos as a character has rarely ever shown anyone any form of respect and Brok as a character rarely receives any respect in comparison to his brother due to his nature, his colorful choice of language, and his overall abrasive personality. Kratos as warrior and a God taking the knee and presenting Brok, a meer blacksmith, with with a weapon said smith forged for the smith's humble blessing, forsaking the blessing of a truly powerful being in which said blacksmith respected since childhood it's something absolutely powerful to watch. Kratos by doing this and saying the phrase " it is the nature of a thing that matters, not its form" proves that not only Kratos was listening to Brok, but also values the blessing of Brok more than that of a legendary being. This act of pure humility and respect from Kratos shows that he is fully acknowledging the work that Brok (and by minor extension Sindri) has done throughout the entirety of their friendship. Rather than forcing the idea of finding another person to bless the spear, he chooses to humbly ask Brok, someone that would be considered lower than most beings around himself for a blessing which would only be a blessing of meer words due to Brok's lack of a soul piece. Brok even fully acknowledges that his blessing would only be that of words but Kratos wants it anyway. You can really see that in Brok's face and in needing to take a few moments to compose himself that he is moved so thoroughly by Kratos's request his voice even breaks. Both never say thank you, and both just nod. Brok never even brags to Sindri about this which proves that he values this as a treasure beyond any act or words of praise from any God before Kratos. Even Mimir seems speechless by the act of pure respect from Kratos towards Brok and all three men take this as a private moment between the two and don't tell anyone about the blessing. I wish during the final moments of the game that Kratos or Mimir could have said some final words about treasuring Brok blessing during the funeral so Sindri would known that some part of Brok still exists and is treasured by Kratos himself. But then again Kratos is a man of few words and idk if Mimir would have thought it was the right time to mention it. But overall a truly powerful moment.
Absolutely teared up with this scene.
Only a few people can get away with telling kratos "the fuck do you want?"
There’s so many subtle moments in the game, meaningful ones. Such a beautiful blessing and a music. Sad that not everybody is able to read those moments. Many are rather worrying about the game reminding them a DLC cuz see there are some similar to GOW 2018 locations. Just enjoy the sequel.
if this were GoW 3, Kratos probably would've drug Brok kicking and screaming to the forge then fed him to the mermaid and then killed the mermaid afterward
Lol yeah😂
He has grown so much
“May it be put down when it’s job is done.” What a line!
1:08 the only person who can get away with cussing at kratos that isn’t his son, they’re really brothers
The music when he blessed it definitely brought a tear to my eye.
I could be wrong but I could swear that the lady gave her blessing to the spear just as brok said: "Bless it for us". She put her hands together and let out a kind of blow. The spear has 2 blessings, that of the lady and brok
Loved this moment, certainly shows how far the friendship between Brok and Kratos had come.
Thats it. Every weapon get either in game or real life. It will always have broks blessing. RIP my favorite dwarf
“It’s the nature of a thing…” had me in my feels
2:05 Amen Brok Amen
Man kratos knows how it is to not feel whole, he misses his humanity
This part made me cry
god I love this scene
man....Brok is easily one of my favourite characters in this game. And this scene just...R.I.P Brok.
He is a honest character that says whatever in his mind and kratos like that
Does he disappear after this?
@@Armageist oh you sweet summer child 😢
I just noticed that when Brok realizes his condition, a segment of the song played on [SPOILER]

his funeral starts to play.
The Nature of a thing is more important than the Form of a thing.
I really appreciate this scene because this is something old Kratos would *never ever* do for anybody in the past.
Its powerfull to see Kratos humble himself and properly acknowledge the talent that Brok has while also comforting him as Brok is clearly distraught.
And he was absolutely right. We don’t need the blessing of a kelp lady. We need the blessing of a great blacksmith and we did get it.
The last memory
There's so many good moments in this game it's hard to pick one out that best encapsulates the series overall
This scene make tears run out my eyes
I almost cried at this scene
To see Kratos grow from 1st game to...this...wow.
This made me tear up. I really wasnt ready for how much this game would tug on the heartstrings
the fact not only kratos humbles himself so much in this, but calls brok by his name shows that he's become worthy of being the god he always wanted to be and how faye believed he could be.
Such a powerful moment in the game.
Kratos little smile after the blessing
you know . . . this spear may have more significance to Kratos than one might initially think.
It LITERALLY brings him back to his roots. The spear is the first weapon a Spartan learns to wield. It brings Kratos back to his days as a mortal Spartan general. Back when he had his fleet. Back when he had his first family. Back before he sold his soul to Ares.
Kratos was not always a heartless monster. Not *really*. Sure, he was a hardass Spartan general, but he had people he was doing it for. Plus he did have appreciation for those with goodness in them, like the Spartan Atreus. It wasn't always a self indulgent quest for revenge.
Every weapon in this game represents a different chapter in Kratos' journey. The Blades represent his imprisonment and his spiral into villainy. The Axe represents his fresh start and his chance to be better. The Spear is his reward for coming so far. He only got it because he made true friends. He has family again. He was something beyond vengeance for which he fights again. What better weapon than that which reminds him of how he used to feel?
This shit brought tears to my eyes....
everyones fan boying about Kratos but I got respect for Brok, a character who goes around effing and blinding every second yet when he has to seriously, bless a weapon and think what he would want done with it, he only asks, that it fulfill the purpose of which he made it, and then that hopefully, the day comes when the thing he made is no longer needed, and put down. This wasnt a Kratos moment, this was a Brok and Kratos moment.
Man, this part teared me up 😥
One hell of a bro moment
0:52
You can hear the main motif in Ræb’s Lament when Brok learns he died once.
That foreshadowing is incredible, holy shit.
Kratos is such a Chad it’s stunning
I have a feeling that each weapon represents 1 aspect of Kratos:
Blades of Chaos represents the monster he was once
Leviathan Axe represents his humanity, he's a different man now, he is a loving husband and a caring father, and a great friend
Draupiner Spear represents his godhood status, he's not the god of war anymore, he's the god of benevolence and hope.
kratos kneeling and asking for his blessing means alot
I find the blessing interesting for a few reasons the spit is obvious it embews the spear with a piece of brok (there are far more gross ways he could've done that so we should be thankful)
The line may it be put down when it's job is done is pretty interesting to me because it explores a different purpose to a weapon. Brok believes that weapons should be used to win the immediate battle then seek a peaceful alternative once that job is done
Did anyone else cry cause I did
I actually kneeled down during this scene as if I had the spear in my hands and waited for him to bless it. That is top writing.
Love this scene
Man every scene in this game is written so thoughtfully. Far better than the so called AAA movies that come out these days
this shit hit different knowing what we (and kratos) knew what we knew
Game of the year.
I love u Brok. 😿
When you finish the game and realize that the soundtrack you hear in this scene is also Brok's funeral soundtrack..
Damn this scene got me good. The thing that gets me is that Kratos *kneels* in front of Brok, not demanding his help but asking for it. He’s not talking to him as an ally but as a friend, to help him bless a weapon to protect his son
I think the lady did bless the weapon before she left, her hand gesture showed it before she left. We had Brok's point of view so we couldn't hear anything.
Love Mimir but Brock was, and will be forever, Kratos' best friend.
I’m not crying you’re crying
Of course the spear is busted! Brok blessed it himself!
I got two this part a few days ago it’s gonna take time but I wanna level the spear up
What really shows growth in both kratos and brock is the final part of the blessing. Brock used to love making weapons and it is heavilly implied that he fet pride in their destructive capabilitys. Kratos used to mow down everyone in his way for his own goals, even being willing to kill people who never done anything to him. (The ship captain from god of war1 comes to mind. Kratos took the key from him and droped him down the hydras throat to his death. But it is not like the Captain would have defended the key. Kratos could just have put the dude on his feet and go his ways) But after kratos destroyed athen and came face to face with his sins, and after Brock saw the crueltys thor caused with the hammer, they no longer see violence as something to be relished in. It is a necessary evil. So the spear shall be efficient, it shall only be used when it is needed and it shall be put to rest, when it fulfilled its purpose.
2:06 The real blessing, The spit of a blue dwarf
Righteous gangsta SHIT!!!!!!!
Originally brok was suppose to bless and spit on the ring but it would have looked weird seeing him hold kratos hand while putting the ring on his finger. 💍
anybody know the name of the track that plays while Kratos kneels/Brok blesses the spear?
Raebs lament
The fact this didn’t win GOTY, cannot believe it.
The fact he spits, makes me wonder where it is a curse or blessing.
Blurse
Kratos: *stomps spear into the floor* it needs a blessing and you’re going to do it
Brok: I’m not good enough
Kratos: the nature of our friendship is what matters not it’s form
RIP TO OUR GREATEST BLACKSMITH
Hats off to Santa Monica studios for really making us feel for a character. Could they maybe not kill him off and make me feel things next time?
Since Kratos first met Brok to this, no wonder why I went to him for upgrades mostly. Sindri should have told him, he cant be mad at Kratos, Mimir, Atreus and Freya for him dying again.
He can be mad at atreus it was his whole idea to track down "tyr" and bring then into their own home
@@txdestroyer-tt4ov plus Brok been giving “Tyr” shit about cooking and ideas about Odin, Thor, Heimdall, Ragnarok and “old path to Asgard” and for good reason bc Brok was the guy to sniff out bullshit from a mile and give good advice.
Kratos tears up in the first 5 seconds of the game.lol. hes a softy in this after everything..lol. real murder grandpa..
Does anyone know the track that plays here?
Raebs lament
I wonder what the mermaid was thinking the whole time. Kratos didn’t say a thing.
Brok is a foul-mouthed, short-tempered, fiesty little bastage.
...but when he held that spear, am I the only one that felt he looked wise and reverant?
Its is the meaning. Not its value.
All we need to say is F 🫡🫡🫡🫡
F… for Brok
Fucking respect 😢
