I love that Tasha actually caught the exact moment Kratos changed his 'fate'. "There is no destiny, no script, no grand design. You are the sum of your choices, nothing more, and because you choices never change you will learn that Heimdall intends to kill your son in Asgard and you will do what you do best. And then Ragnarok" "Today son, today we *will* be better" Kratos' choices changed, he changed, so his 'fate' changed too. Kratos and Atreus finally met up in the middle, they both grew and changed to be who they are, they are both now 'ready'. Atreus to journey by himself, Kratos to journey without Atreus while not receeding back into his old self. That final panel on the back totally broke me, Kratos seeing himself worshipped, loved, and seeing his reaction to it just hits right in the chest. Its a great parallel to when Odin told him "What do you even know of godhood? In your lifetimes has anyone ever worshipped you? Ever prayed to you? Can you even imagine that kind of love? No, you don't care for anything save yourself, for the monster that kills without cause" . He wasn't completely wrong, Kratos was only ever worshipped as a Destroyer, a god of war you call upon to wreck your enemies, just like Ares. He never really came to know what loving godhood is like, its partially why he hates the gods so much, because he cannot believe that good can come from them. But now he gets to find that out, from a God of War, to a God of Hope. A masterpiece of a character arc.
I think it goes a layer deeper. Kratos changed, but probably even more surprisingly to the norns, Thor changed. He was just as ruthless of a killer as old Kratos and potentially even more dangerous since he couldn't escape the grip of Odin. But when they decided not to fight or kill each other, Kratos didn't have to fight to the death with him and potentially lose. So it wasn't just Kratos that changed to avert the prophecy, it wad Thor and a lot of the other asgardians as well like Sif and Thrud.
The story always ends with hope. He defeats Zeus using the power of hope and now he’s a god of hope. This character always shows how people can change and try to be better
While the journey was amazing, there is more! For one, the defacto 'ending' of this game isn't here, there is one more quest after this involving Brok's funeral. That is where the final end credits roll, its quite a shame this seemingly wasn't included in this video as its basically the Ragnarok equivalent of 2018's going back to your house and going to sleep to get the final scene. Secondly, there is a LOT of important post-ending content, as you can keep playing the game after this that i would highly recommend you guys find a video for. Thrud finding what she's looking for, defeating Gna the new Valkyrie Queen, and most importantly a certain quest in Nifilheim called "The Broken Prison", which holds a HUGE reveal and one that is crucial to see if you're going ahead with the Valhalla DLC. Which speaking of... Thirdly, you guys timed this quite perfectly as the free DLC for this game called Valhalla just recently dropped. Or as the community affectionately calls it, Kratos' therapy session DLC. There is a lot of amazing story content in Valhalla that i can't recommend you guys check out enough, it truly wraps up Kratos' journey perfectly and as you guys have been on it this whole time i stress how important it is to his story, especially with how often you've made comparisons to younger Kratos. I would however suggest waiting a week until you actually try to find a video for it, as atm people are still going through the DLC and a lot of the videos covering the story elements i've seen are pretty incomplete or are missing some crucial elements. Checking out the stuff i mentioned above would be perfect in the meantime
I believe the proverb 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened' fits perfectly. After 10 months, this journy comes to an end, and I want to thank you for this beautiful time! Keep up the good work. ❤
The reason why the lighting bolt is still there is because it's frozen. If you look closely at it, you can see it's actually incased in a layer of ice. That's the result from the lightning powers of Mjolnir clashing with the ice powers of the Leviathan axe.
A couple of things y'all missed. When Odin died, it was the same position kratos died in the Giants' vision. Skjoldr is named after a king of Denmark. In other words, he's probably going to be a king. This is a fan theory but the tear is in the same color of light as Athena. When Thor died he had that same colorish. People say that's where Thor is after death.
1:20:28 This part was the part more than anything to get me. It's the (semi) end of the arc of Kratos the mortal, who never got to see his daughter grow up due to corrupt gods and prophecy. And now despite all that pain, hardship, loss and suffering he finally succeeds.
That moment where Kratos sounds Gjallarhorn and all the realm towers open all at once never fails to give me goosebumps, I fucking cried the first time I saw it and i’m not even ashamed for it
Just wanted to say I've watched you react to all of God of war 1 to Ragnarok, I've enjoyed watching this very much. 'Thank you' is not enough to share with you how much I am thankful that you made this reaction series
This was *beyond* a ride!! And I enjoyed every minute of it with you guys! Really glad that you are going to watch the DLC as well. It's a little short, but MAN is it also good!!
Kratos has easily the best character development in media. He went from a stone cold killing machine to a caring father who wanted the best for his son and the future in general
0:44 "Are they married?" You can say that Surtr and Simmara are married. The Story that Kratos tells here at 7:00 he's actually talking about himself. And what Faye said near the end of Kratos' dream hit so hard i almost cried "Culmination of love is grief, yet we love despite the inevitable. To greive deeply is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me and you will find every reason to keep living in it." And the transition of him waking up from the dream was beautiful the music was epic. 18:42 The beginning of Ragnarök: The music going into this last End-game main quest was epic as all hell with Kratos blowing Gjallarhorn everything was perfect i was so immersed with this i it felt like i was there with them "For the fallen, for our friends." Atreus: For Brok. Me: For Brok. Everything was intense with all the fighting the music and the dialouge too. Mimir: Would've preferred a realm-destroying fire giant, but i suppose "Desperation" is better than nothing. Me: You damn right "Desperation" is better than nothing. 26:25 And Fun Fact: The Jörmungandr you see here is the one that was in Ironwood. When Sindri said that i felt like that was personal "Leave it to the dwarves to clean up after the Giants." Sindri was out for blood when he said that "You don't get to use us anymore." Kratos has changed alot ever since meeting Faye and she managed to calm down the angriest god of the greek pantheon. Kratos: Odin will not get away. Freya: If he does.... so help me..... Me: You get to him first he's all yours. It's always a pleasure to play with Atreus, and again, Sindri's anger is justified but a little misplaced and this was the best part right here. 36:12 Atreus: Can't let it control me. Me: RIDE THE STROM OF YOUR EMOTIONS! Atreus: RRRAAAH! Me: YEAAAAH BEAR MODE BABY! I've been wanting to play with the Bear rage form ever since the start of the game if i could play with it once i'm satisfied and i got my wish. And the size difference between the enemies and Atreus Bear Form is crazy. Sindri: What, you want a "thank you"? Me: Yes Atreus: No, I just want-- Sindri: I don't care what you want, this changes nothing. Me: Look here Sindri we're all hurting of Brok dying not just you. 43:30 The battle of Dads:Kratos vs Thor round 2 Thor: And this time i'm allowed to kill you. Me: Bring it on you damn drunk, but then again... Kratos: We do not need to do this. Thor: We do it's what we are. Thor: EVERYTHING WAS FINE BEOFRE LOKI SHOWED UP! Me: Are you sure about that?! Thor: He almost convinced me! Me: Convinced you of what?! Thor: Had me believing that things could change! Me: They can, the first thing starts with you! Kratos: Odin does not-- Thor: Shut the fuck up! Me: Fine you want violence, LETS GET VIOLENT!! Proceeds to activate "Spartan rage: Fury Mode" Mimir: Stay in control of it brother! Kratos: I know. 49:16 Me: Now look at me and LISTEN. Thor: If you try to hurt her.... Me: WE WOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING ALREADY THOR, you of all people should know if Kratos can change then goddammit so can you. Thor: We don't change. Me: Who says we can't?! Thor: We ARE DESTROYERS! Kratos and Atreus and Freya vs Odin: Phase 1 and 2 Odin: Are you talking? Me:Yes, we're talking can you give us a minute. 51:47 And Odin trying to convince his grand-daughter that the enemy did this when she just saw you impale Thor. This was an amazing phase 2 of the fight plus there's some dialouge that they cut out in this and it was this "Odin:Three against on eh? Mimir: Don't forget me all-fucker! Odin: What did you call me?! Mimir: That one was for Brok!" And in this there was a relic attack i had equipped in this fight it allowed me to use Mimir for the attack. 1:00:49 The triple team attack, and here at 1:02:06 remember that prophecy about Kratos in Atreus' arms dead i realized that it got switched instead of Kratos it's Odin This section here with the shirne at 1:16:10 this was so beautiful and wholesome because for the last 14 years of atreus' life Kratos always felt unworthy to stand by, to love an innocent, delicate flower that is Atreus, but right here at 1:19:15 this proves that he did everything in his power to keep him safe and well and to see him off on his own adventures and that line hits, Kratos: Loki will go.......Atreus will remain. That moment was enough to make a grown man cry. P.S You gotta check out the Berserker Gravestone fights, The new Valkyrie Queen Gńa, and Broks Funeral.
The final stretch of the game is one of the most epic and chilling moments in the history of video games, from Faye's final message to Kratos, to Kratos seeing his future as the God of Peace. The wolves you saw fighting, those were Hati and Skoll, the Sun and Moon wolves, and to answer your question about having bifrost on you, if you get hit while its on you, it explodes and deals damage to you based on how much is on you, indicated by the glowing purple on your health bar. The more bifrost on you, the more damage you'll take, you'll have to avoid getting hit until it wears off on its own.
36:51 A thought about Sindri's behavior, relative to an axiom and the theme from the last game; "Our Choices Make Us Who We Are". The last game's theme, as well as Ragnarok's, was 'choice'. After Brok's death, Sindri unloads on Kratos and Atreus saying "I gave you everything; my secrets, my treasures, my knowledge, and you just kept TAKING!" No, Sindri, they did not TAKE; you OFFERED! You could have STOPPED, REFUSED, at ANY MOMENT, and you CHOSE not to! You are angry at Kratos and Atreus because you are mad at yourself, and you feel guilty! I know from personal, real-world experience, that Grief is NOT reasonable, but this thought came to my mind a few months ago after my first playthrough, and after watching an essay on Sindri's character and behavior.
I just finished watching all of your reactions to the GOW games, and this ending is just PERFECT, it was a joy to see you guys reacting to this masterpiece, thank you guys!
Also this is the episode i have been waiting on. Even after how many times ive seen it, the end with atreus leaving and seeing kratos almost cry just breaks me down everytime. That and when he sees Fay's vision of people worshipping him and kratos almost crying about that, knowing he has never been worshipped because of love for him, only fear. Him seeing that gave him the closure he needed, so see there was retribution for his past actions. He never expected to be loved and that portrait broke him
The snake in the final battle is the same snake that Loki put a giant's soul in Jötunheim he fought Thor and disappear and reappeared in the past in Midgard.
The part before kratos sounds the horn gave me absolutely chills.. the music, storytelling, and game play this game was a absolute masterpiece.. first time follower..
Lol, well, they at the lodge now. That absolutely sent me. To add, the story he told was about himself and his struggles with suicide (He attempted it twice iirc) and coming to terms that he wanted to keep living.
I gotta admit I’ve been playing his series for 15 years and that ending dead ass made me draw a few tears I couldn’t believe from all of that in the end he finally get like actual godship love and credit for everything he’s been through it’s a perfect series I can’t express it enough 💙
The lightning is still there because the axe that Kratos has freezes everything, including Thor's lightning. When Thor Fought Faye the lightning froze when the weapons collided.
I’m sure you’ve seen enough comments already about it but I might as well add to it! You should definitely find a video on Brock’s funeral and a few other post credit missions before you watch Valhalla. They are definitely important parts of the story. Plus it will give you time For someone to post a more thorough video of Valhalla’s play through since people are still going through the game.
It has been awesome to be part of this journey with you guys ^^ and I love so much love your reactions/thoughts about everything as well as my favorite entire game history
This game would not be what it is without the amazing writing and the talented mocap from actors. It really needs to be added in when it comes to award shows
This is such a beautiful story. I loved the old games and they were my favorites, but the new ones have added so much more to the story of Kratos. It's just beautiful. With all the horrible things that happened, the violence, the brutality, seeing compasion and self sacriffice overcome everything is the kind of powerful stories that we need more of.
In minute 48:22 when thor punch snake nose it actually send that snake back to GOW 2018. And if you remember when kratos says the snake looks different, he say that because snake that kratos remember was the snake that get thor punch and go back to GOW 2018 where that snake have a green beard. And the last prophecy is says that kratos become a king for all of the realm in norse mythology.
@@TNTGamingonlinein the first game, the serpent said Atreus looked familiar and it is because in another timeline, which is the future, Atreus put one of the giant's souls into that snake at Angrboda's grandma's house, and that same small snake grew into the snake you guys saw at the Ragnarok last fight, and when thor punched it, it sent it back to the past, basically to another timeline where kratos and Atreus are back in 2018, but this time Kratos killing Odin is that the loophole was destroyed
50:20 I love how this the opposite of the beginning. When thor came to their home he towered over kratos. But now though thor is obviously taller kratos is towering over him none the less. Italian hands
So the hidden door Kratos saw at the end when Atreus left shows Kratos journey. In the first panel it shows Kratos right after he destroyed Greece and the Greek gods. The middle panel shows Atreus and Kratos on the journey to scatter faye's ashes and fighting baldur. It also shows Kratos fighting Thor. Last panel shows Kratos being worshipped by mortals after Ragnarok but not as a god of war but a god of hope.
EPIC finale! You were right! Kratos's story arc is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. Not just for games either. I think it holds up against some of the best. This has definitely been a journey worth the wait! There's a few more character endings and things that wasn't included in the video though. In a side mission, we find and discover that the real Tyr is actually alive inside another prison of Odin's. Apparently he teases some possible locations we could go to in another game. Thrud also finds thor's hammer as well and she now wields it. The Valhalla DLC is also pretty good. Can't wait for you guys to check that out too.
Personally when i played the game for the first time and finished, i was so emotional invested to the game that literally made me tear up when the credits rolled. Its currently my fav game and still my fav game franchise 🙌🏼
As this journey ends another one begins Valhalla . I loved watching every moment of this entire series with u awesome people ❤. Merry Christmas to u and all members here 🎄
What Odin did to was mirror Kratos attitude for mortals or anyone he deemed worthless...in previous games he killed the boat captain when he could have saved him, killed people to use them.as props to solve puzzles, threw innocent mortals out of his way to their deaths....Kratos was a savage...
I like how it came full circle when Kratos told Atreus we keep our hearts open because you see he finally excepts Faye death at that moment. Before then he always said close your heart to it boy lol.
I think what was hilarious about the God of war serious in particular for yall reactions is that whenever it was gruesome scene Tasha would flinch and you would be laughing, but whenever it was a touching moment Tasha would be like awww but it always hit you right in the heart T 😭😭😭. I feel like you connected to Kratos and really shared empathy and symapthy throughtout this game lol
My absolute favorite moment is when Kratos tells Atreus to open his heart. That really for me was the moment Kratos was redeemed. He still has to atone for what he's done but he's a much better man then he was.
Kratos seeing himself being worshipped on the shrine is so special because he was hated and treated as a monster his entire life up to this point. So imagine going from being hated that much to being worshipped and loved by the people. Beautiful scene. Masterpiece of a game and series as a whole. Also i recommend checking out the side mission of Brok's funeral.
Seeing the flashback made me realize something 🤯 The smoke from her funeral is probably what gave their position up to Balfour and SHE KNEW IT WOULD. She marked the trees needed. Remember her funeral was also on the walls of the prophesy so it took particular material m, in the wrapping of her body and everything. He was in the sky and saw it on the dragon, WTF
Sif always knew it was Odin but she knew she couldn't get to him. She knew it was Odin who sent her sons after Kratos and Atreus and that without Odin poisoning Thor's mind he could be a good father.
There's soo much to look up.. a vikings funeral, the craters lore, valhalla and soo much more little things added like in the desert of valhalla.. GNA, beserkers.. so much
Yes it has God of war is one of my favorites, I really like yall reactions yall do very well, but devil may cry is my favorite so plz do that one next.
The story Kratos was telling Atreus was about Kratos and how he wanted to die because he had lost hope at that point, he knew he was going to war and though he was no better than his old self, afterwards the story changed because Kratos was filled with hope again
my favorite connection from gow 2018 to ragnorok. atreus wakes up to his mother’s voice but falls asleep to kratos voice. atreus trust for kratos grew each journey :,) that’s why faye wanted kratos to speak. so much good story telling
Don't forget to check out the battle with Gna, Brok's funeral and the Valhalla expansion, they rock. The expansion deals with him finding out who he is by looking who he was. Enjoyed going on this journey with you guys, even though I'd already played through it myself
The lightning bolt was frozen by Faye’s Axe. During the fight between Kratos and Thor. The Frozen lightning bolt on Freya’s birth home was created by Faye and Thor fighting with the same axe.
Such an epic moment when Kratos blows that horn. ^^ It's fine to talk about being better, to say that you will be better. But eventually you must be better. The scene between Thrud and Sif could've gone very differently. If Thrud had been loyal enough to Odin then she could've called her mom a traitor and yeah I think you know where that would've lead. When Kratos didn't kill Thor that is when the prophecy about his death was finally broken.
Now that you guys are through with the main story. I have something that I have been saving for this video. When Cory Barlog handed the reins of Game Director over to Eric Williams, he told him that he could anything he wanted but 3 things needed to happen. 1)Atreus had to leave by the end 2)Ragnarok had to happen 3)Brok had to die. Brok dying was important because it's the death of the family dog in Cory's words.
If you watch the game for the second time you will also notice that Atreus saved Kratos so many times 1st when Freya almost killed him 2nd with the valkyries almost finished him off and finally when Odin was burning his eyes
the in game mechanic of bi frost is that if ur covered in it a certain amount of ur health bar turns purple then if you get hit again even just a small weak one then that whole portion of ur health bar goes down
it was so much fun to watch you guys react to this from the start of kratos's journey till now it almost felt like i was there with you, much love to the both of you
1:30:00 to that point. The old Kratos would have been all about business and would try to kill Thor and he would lose and die. Him changing, trying to be better is why he survived Ragnarok
Nah Thor ain't beating old Kratos, the old GoW 3 Kratos? No way. 😂 Remember the mural of Kratos' death? It's the same position Odin was in with Atreus at the end. If Kratos had slipped back into his old ways and became the angry raging vengeful God again then Atreus would've betrayed him (or stopped him, however you want to look at it) and whispered his soul away and joined Odin. That's what the mural portrayed, not Kratos losing to Thor but him being in Atreus' arms while his soul is being whispered away.
Bro I love your guys reaction ❤ new member here, love your comments on this story Love you guys follow this entire story and how passion are you guys are for Ragnarok build up Great video bro Love from Mexico ❤🎉
43:21 is the battle Mimir talks about in the previous game, where Thor sends Jörmungandr back to the past. Mimir explains why the World Serpent hates Thor so much leading to that very moment. Mimir translates to Atreus that the Snake said Atreus was "familiar to him". This was due to Loki and Angrboda placing Jormungandr's soul into the snake b4 fighting Angrboda's grandmother in Jotunheim.
Merry Christmas guys! Ragnarok is here. Broks funeral, Valhalla and God of war in Egypt coming soon!
Merry Christmas to yall too!
To end off the series nicely, Merry Christmas Guys🎉🎄🎁❄️
Let's goooooooo 🎉
You gotta watch brok funeral,that was sad AF,find the video of it dog
there is also a prison break lol, and the Raven Keeper, that's something you should watch. Tells you more how evil Odin was
I love that Tasha actually caught the exact moment Kratos changed his 'fate'.
"There is no destiny, no script, no grand design. You are the sum of your choices, nothing more, and because you choices never change you will learn that Heimdall intends to kill your son in Asgard and you will do what you do best. And then Ragnarok"
"Today son, today we *will* be better"
Kratos' choices changed, he changed, so his 'fate' changed too. Kratos and Atreus finally met up in the middle, they both grew and changed to be who they are, they are both now 'ready'. Atreus to journey by himself, Kratos to journey without Atreus while not receeding back into his old self.
That final panel on the back totally broke me, Kratos seeing himself worshipped, loved, and seeing his reaction to it just hits right in the chest. Its a great parallel to when Odin told him "What do you even know of godhood? In your lifetimes has anyone ever worshipped you? Ever prayed to you? Can you even imagine that kind of love?

But when they decided not to fight or kill each other, Kratos didn't have to fight to the death with him and potentially lose.
So it wasn't just Kratos that changed to avert the prophecy, it wad Thor and a lot of the other asgardians as well like Sif and Thrud.

Just wanted to say I've watched you react to all of God of war 1 to Ragnarok, I've enjoyed watching this very much.
'Thank you' is not enough to share with you how much I am thankful that you made this reaction series
This has been quite a journey an we loved every second of it.
My first time I played through Ragnarok will always stay with me. Top tier storytelling. I also enjoyed rewatching it with you two!
Came for Kratos blowing gjallarhorn and Wasn't disappointed. I legit teared up when I played it. One of the most epic moments in gaming history
Yo! "to grieve deeply, is to have loved fully" the writers were cooking!
Word! Thas deep
Tasha’s reaction to Odin killing Thor was priceless.
Kratos goodbye to Atreus broke me Lol
This was *beyond* a ride!! And I enjoyed every minute of it with you guys!
Really glad that you are going to watch the DLC as well. It's a little short, but MAN is it also good!!
Kratos has easily the best character development in media. He went from a stone cold killing machine to a caring father who wanted the best for his son and the future in general
Thank you guys for following through with the journey!! I played the game a while back but the knowledge will help the Valhalla DLC!!!
A father kills his own son for fear,a father kills his own son for being betrayed,that scene made me feel scared but at the same time i feel nostalgic
That moment when the gates opened and Kratos turned to say prepare yourselves was the best moment in a video game I've ever seen
0:44 "Are they married?" You can say that Surtr and Simmara are married.
The Story that Kratos tells here at 7:00 he's actually talking about himself.

Me: RIDE THE STROM OF YOUR EMOTIONS! Atreus: RRRAAAH! Me: YEAAAAH BEAR MODE BABY! I've been wanting to play with the Bear rage form ever since the start of the game if i could play with it once i'm satisfied and i got my wish. And the size difference between the enemies and Atreus Bear Form is crazy. Sindri: What, you want a "thank you"? Me: Yes Atreus: No, I just want-- Sindri: I don't care what you want, this changes nothing. Me: Look here Sindri we're all hurting of Brok dying not just you.
43:30 The battle of Dads:Kratos vs Thor round 2
Thor: And this time i'm allowed to kill you. Me: Bring it on you damn drunk, but then again... Kratos: We do not need to do this. Thor: We do it's what we are. Thor: EVERYTHING WAS FINE BEOFRE LOKI SHOWED UP! Me: Are you sure about that?! Thor: He almost convinced me! Me: Convinced you of what?! Thor: Had me believing that things could change! Me: They can, the first thing starts with you! Kratos: Odin does not-- Thor: Shut the fuck up! Me: Fine you want violence, LETS GET VIOLENT!! Proceeds to activate "Spartan rage: Fury Mode" Mimir: Stay in control of it brother! Kratos: I know. 49:16 Me: Now look at me and LISTEN. Thor: If you try to hurt her.... Me: WE WOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING ALREADY THOR, you of all people should know if Kratos can change then goddammit so can you. Thor: We don't change. Me: Who says we can't?! Thor: We ARE DESTROYERS!
Kratos and Atreus and Freya vs Odin: Phase 1 and 2
Odin: Are you talking? Me:Yes, we're talking can you give us a minute. 51:47 And Odin trying to convince his grand-daughter that the enemy did this when she just saw you impale Thor. This was an amazing phase 2 of the fight plus there's some dialouge that they cut out in this and it was this "Odin:Three against on eh? Mimir: Don't forget me all-fucker! Odin: What did you call me?! Mimir: That one was for Brok!" And in this there was a relic attack i had equipped in this fight it allowed me to use Mimir for the attack. 1:00:49 The triple team attack, and here at 1:02:06 remember that prophecy about Kratos in Atreus' arms dead i realized that it got switched instead of Kratos it's Odin
This section here with the shirne at 1:16:10 this was so beautiful and wholesome because for the last 14 years of atreus' life Kratos always felt unworthy to stand by, to love an innocent, delicate flower that is Atreus, but right here at 1:19:15 this proves that he did everything in his power to keep him safe and well and to see him off on his own adventures and that line hits, Kratos: Loki will go.......Atreus will remain. That moment was enough to make a grown man cry.
P.S You gotta check out the Berserker Gravestone fights, The new Valkyrie Queen Gńa, and Broks Funeral.
The final stretch of the game is one of the most epic and chilling moments in the history of video games, from Faye's final message to Kratos, to Kratos seeing his future as the God of Peace.
The wolves you saw fighting, those were Hati and Skoll, the Sun and Moon wolves, and to answer your question about having bifrost on you, if you get hit while its on you, it explodes and deals damage to you based on how much is on you, indicated by the glowing purple on your health bar. The more bifrost on you, the more damage you'll take, you'll have to avoid getting hit until it wears off on its own.
Im so happy to see yall coming through this end. Thank you so much for this series. Bless to all and Merry Christmas!
This was truly an experience especially seeing far Kratos has come.
36:51 A thought about Sindri's behavior, relative to an axiom and the theme from the last game; "Our Choices Make Us Who We Are". The last game's theme, as well as Ragnarok's, was 'choice'. After Brok's death, Sindri unloads on Kratos and Atreus saying "I gave you everything; my secrets, my treasures, my knowledge, and you just kept TAKING!" No, Sindri, they did not TAKE; you OFFERED! You could have STOPPED, REFUSED, at ANY MOMENT, and you CHOSE not to! You are angry at Kratos and Atreus because you are mad at yourself, and you feel guilty!
I know from personal, real-world experience, that Grief is NOT reasonable, but this thought came to my mind a few months ago after my first playthrough, and after watching an essay on Sindri's character and behavior.
I just finished watching all of your reactions to the GOW games, and this ending is just PERFECT, it was a joy to see you guys reacting to this masterpiece, thank you guys!
Also this is the episode i have been waiting on. Even after how many times ive seen it, the end with atreus leaving and seeing kratos almost cry just breaks me down everytime. That and when he sees Fay's vision of people worshipping him and kratos almost crying about that, knowing he has never been worshipped because of love for him, only fear. Him seeing that gave him the closure he needed, so see there was retribution for his past actions. He never expected to be loved and that portrait broke him
The snake in the final battle is the same snake that Loki put a giant's soul in Jötunheim he fought Thor and disappear and reappeared in the past in Midgard.
Tears of Kratos 🥺🥺🥰🥰
the sound of gjallarhorn always gives me chills
Ragnarok is the perfect Christmas gift for us
The part before kratos sounds the horn gave me absolutely chills.. the music, storytelling, and game play this game was a absolute masterpiece.. first time follower..
Lol, well, they at the lodge now. That absolutely sent me.
To add, the story he told was about himself and his struggles with suicide (He attempted it twice iirc) and coming to terms that he wanted to keep living.
It’s crazy Odin built an impenetrable wall . Yet the dwarves( sindri) the whole time could break it easily
it was built so that one part could be broken but it is crazy that sindri broke it in a way it wasn't meant to
I gotta admit I’ve been playing his series for 15 years and that ending dead ass made me draw a few tears I couldn’t believe from all of that in the end he finally get like actual godship love and credit for everything he’s been through it’s a perfect series I can’t express it enough 💙
The lightning is still there because the axe that Kratos has freezes everything, including Thor's lightning. When Thor Fought Faye the lightning froze when the weapons collided.
theres a bonus scene in ragnorok pertaining to brok, you guys should check it out before valhala! been loving the reactions and happy holidays 🔥
I’m sure you’ve seen enough comments already about it but I might as well add to it! You should definitely find a video on Brock’s funeral and a few other post credit missions before you watch Valhalla. They are definitely important parts of the story. Plus it will give you time For someone to post a more thorough video of Valhalla’s play through since people are still going through the game.
It has been awesome to be part of this journey with you guys ^^ and I love so much love your reactions/thoughts about everything as well as my favorite entire game history
This game would not be what it is without the amazing writing and the talented mocap from actors. It really needs to be added in when it comes to award shows
I cried like 20 minutes after I beat the game and was just overwhelmed by the whole thing.
Best ending! It was great rewatching the story with you... seeing your reaction! Valhalla next
Yesss!!! I wasn’t sure if you guys were going to post today because of Christmas 😭 This just made my whole day 🔥 🔔
New guy here. Love both y’all reactions and knowing when to talk, pause, joke. All that. Perfect. Keep it up and you’ll be HUGE in no time.
This is such a beautiful story. I loved the old games and they were my favorites, but the new ones have added so much more to the story of Kratos. It's just beautiful. With all the horrible things that happened, the violence, the brutality, seeing compasion and self sacriffice overcome everything is the kind of powerful stories that we need more of.
In minute 48:22 when thor punch snake nose it actually send that snake back to GOW 2018. And if you remember when kratos says the snake looks different, he say that because snake that kratos remember was the snake that get thor punch and go back to GOW 2018 where that snake have a green beard.
And the last prophecy is says that kratos become a king for all of the realm in norse mythology.
OOOOHHHHHHHH....... Thats why he said he knew him!
@@TNTGamingonlinein the first game, the serpent said Atreus looked familiar and it is because in another timeline, which is the future, Atreus put one of the giant's souls into that snake at Angrboda's grandma's house, and that same small snake grew into the snake you guys saw at the Ragnarok last fight, and when thor punched it, it sent it back to the past, basically to another timeline where kratos and Atreus are back in 2018, but this time Kratos killing Odin is that the loophole was destroyed
Maybe you noticed when the snake disappeared while fighting Thor, it was sent in time to the past
Damn!
Her reaction to Odin hitting Thrud with Mjolnier is priceless.
50:20
I love how this the opposite of the beginning. When thor came to their home he towered over kratos. But now though thor is obviously taller kratos is towering over him none the less. Italian hands
So the hidden door Kratos saw at the end when Atreus left shows Kratos journey. In the first panel it shows Kratos right after he destroyed Greece and the Greek gods. The middle panel shows Atreus and Kratos on the journey to scatter faye's ashes and fighting baldur. It also shows Kratos fighting Thor. Last panel shows Kratos being worshipped by mortals after Ragnarok but not as a god of war but a god of hope.
48:50 The OG Kratos from the original God of War trilogy
EPIC finale! You were right! Kratos's story arc is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. Not just for games either. I think it holds up against some of the best. This has definitely been a journey worth the wait! There's a few more character endings and things that wasn't included in the video though. In a side mission, we find and discover that the real Tyr is actually alive inside another prison of Odin's. Apparently he teases some possible locations we could go to in another game. Thrud also finds thor's hammer as well and she now wields it. The Valhalla DLC is also pretty good. Can't wait for you guys to check that out too.
Personally when i played the game for the first time and finished, i was so emotional invested to the game that literally made me tear up when the credits rolled. Its currently my fav game and still my fav game franchise 🙌🏼
this has to be one of the best series i’ve watched on youtube you guys are great im hoping for more great stuff.
As this journey ends another one begins Valhalla . I loved watching every moment of this entire series with u awesome people ❤. Merry Christmas to u and all members here 🎄
What Odin did to was mirror Kratos attitude for mortals or anyone he deemed worthless...in previous games he killed the boat captain when he could have saved him, killed people to use them.as props to solve puzzles, threw innocent mortals out of his way to their deaths....Kratos was a savage...
I just watched all of this.
It was such an amazing journey.
I can’t wait to see where this goes next.
Such an amazing game 😭 I agree this game has literally the best story EVER
I like how it came full circle when Kratos told Atreus we keep our hearts open because you see he finally excepts Faye death at that moment. Before then he always said close your heart to it boy lol.
I think what was hilarious about the God of war serious in particular for yall reactions is that whenever it was gruesome scene Tasha would flinch and you would be laughing, but whenever it was a touching moment Tasha would be like awww but it always hit you right in the heart T 😭😭😭. I feel like you connected to Kratos and really shared empathy and symapthy throughtout this game lol
My absolute favorite moment is when Kratos tells Atreus to open his heart. That really for me was the moment Kratos was redeemed. He still has to atone for what he's done but he's a much better man then he was.
Kratos seeing himself being worshipped on the shrine is so special because he was hated and treated as a monster his entire life up to this point. So imagine going from being hated that much to being worshipped and loved by the people. Beautiful scene. Masterpiece of a game and series as a whole.
Also i recommend checking out the side mission of Brok's funeral.
This scene (28:17) where Fenr eats that dragon reminds me of a particular scene in the "Van Helsing" movie.
God of War Ragnarok, you got watch the Viking funeral to get answer to the riddle, you be amazing on easy the answer is
Seeing the flashback made me realize something 🤯
The smoke from her funeral is probably what gave their position up to Balfour and SHE KNEW IT WOULD. She marked the trees needed. Remember her funeral was also on the walls of the prophesy so it took particular material m, in the wrapping of her body and everything. He was in the sky and saw it on the dragon, WTF
Doesn’t Odin know? Only Stanley Ipkiss wears the mask.
i love the looks on Thrúd, Lady Sif is full blonde and Thor is a RED redhead, so she is a Ginger with a RED streak along it
Remember when the giant snake spat out the leviathan axe, the axe got embued with giant snakes poison thats why thors wounds dont heal from it
Sif always knew it was Odin but she knew she couldn't get to him. She knew it was Odin who sent her sons after Kratos and Atreus and that without Odin poisoning Thor's mind he could be a good father.
Are we going to ignore the fact that kratos swung Thor’s hammer???!!
Don't forget about Brok's funeral. It's incredibly important.
There's soo much to look up.. a vikings funeral, the craters lore, valhalla and soo much more little things added like in the desert of valhalla.. GNA, beserkers.. so much
20:25 I love this scene
Hey TNT i have been a fan aince yall started God of war and i just wanted to say keep up the great work yall are awsome😊
I meant since
Thank you very much. This has been quite the journey!
Yes it has God of war is one of my favorites, I really like yall reactions yall do very well, but devil may cry is my favorite so plz do that one next.
The story Kratos was telling Atreus was about Kratos and how he wanted to die because he had lost hope at that point, he knew he was going to war and though he was no better than his old self, afterwards the story changed because Kratos was filled with hope again
You are also want see the GNA side quest that happens after the game
I just finished playing this. Absolute masterpiece
my favorite connection from gow 2018 to ragnorok. atreus wakes up to his mother’s voice but falls asleep to kratos voice. atreus trust for kratos grew each journey :,) that’s why faye wanted kratos to speak. so much good story telling
I played this game like3 times, and it always makes me tear up
Really enjoyed watching your GoW journey with you. Genuine reactions! ❤
Don't forget to check out the battle with Gna, Brok's funeral and the Valhalla expansion, they rock. The expansion deals with him finding out who he is by looking who he was. Enjoyed going on this journey with you guys, even though I'd already played through it myself
The lightning bolt was frozen by Faye’s Axe. During the fight between Kratos and Thor. The Frozen lightning bolt on Freya’s birth home was created by Faye and Thor fighting with the same axe.
the gna fight has a little backstory on the relationship between freya and gna, if u guys didnt know i was expecting u guys to watch it at the end
Can't believe the Journey is coming to an end
I’m glad we took our time. We truly had a blast.
Such an epic moment when Kratos blows that horn. ^^
It's fine to talk about being better, to say that you will be better. But eventually you must be better.
The scene between Thrud and Sif could've gone very differently. If Thrud had been loyal enough to Odin then she could've called her mom a traitor and yeah I think you know where that would've lead.
When Kratos didn't kill Thor that is when the prophecy about his death was finally broken.
Now that you guys are through with the main story. I have something that I have been saving for this video. When Cory Barlog handed the reins of Game Director over to Eric Williams, he told him that he could anything he wanted but 3 things needed to happen. 1)Atreus had to leave by the end 2)Ragnarok had to happen 3)Brok had to die. Brok dying was important because it's the death of the family dog in Cory's words.
If you watch the game for the second time you will also notice that Atreus saved Kratos so many times 1st when Freya almost killed him 2nd with the valkyries almost finished him off and finally when Odin was burning his eyes
Don't forget to visit Brok's funeral. It's THE most touching part of the hand
the in game mechanic of bi frost is that if ur covered in it a certain amount of ur health bar turns purple then if you get hit again even just a small weak one then that whole portion of ur health bar goes down
Be sure to visit the funeral, and Valhalla.
Fun fact, they aren't playing it
it was so much fun to watch you guys react to this from the start of kratos's journey till now it almost felt like i was there with you, much love to the both of you
The mural showed atreus holding kratos lifeless body, now its odin hes holding sealing his fate
1:30:00 to that point. The old Kratos would have been all about business and would try to kill Thor and he would lose and die. Him changing, trying to be better is why he survived Ragnarok
Nah Thor ain't beating old Kratos, the old GoW 3 Kratos? No way. 😂
Remember the mural of Kratos' death? It's the same position Odin was in with Atreus at the end.
If Kratos had slipped back into his old ways and became the angry raging vengeful God again then Atreus would've betrayed him (or stopped him, however you want to look at it) and whispered his soul away and joined Odin.
That's what the mural portrayed, not Kratos losing to Thor but him being in Atreus' arms while his soul is being whispered away.
You guys should look up Broks funeral scene that happeneds post credits
one thing that marvel got right about norse mythology -> "TREMBLE BEFORE ME ASGARD!"
Bro I love your guys reaction ❤ new member here, love your comments on this story
Love you guys follow this entire story and how passion are you guys are for Ragnarok build up
Great video bro
Love from Mexico ❤🎉
43:21 is the battle Mimir talks about in the previous game, where Thor sends Jörmungandr back to the past. Mimir explains why the World Serpent hates Thor so much leading to that very moment. Mimir translates to Atreus that the Snake said Atreus was "familiar to him". This was due to Loki and Angrboda placing Jormungandr's soul into the snake b4 fighting Angrboda's grandmother in Jotunheim.
