00:00 - Channel Intro 00:12 - Shield And Spear 01:52 - Macuahuitl 03:33 - Khopesh 06:11 - Katana 10:49 - Ending Source information for the weapons www.reddit.com/r/GodofWarRagnarok/comments/18i1dhm/tyrs_weapons/ Macuahuitl: The macuahuitl was a weapon used by Mesoamerica societies such as the Aztecs, Toltec and Mayans in close range combat. Literally meaning “hand wood”, it’s sides often contained blades made of obsidian, sharper than a razor blade. Used in wars for hundreds of years, such as the Spanish conquest, this weapon became a staple of great civilizations like the Aztecs. It is a completely unique weapon as it’s not technically a club or a sword, but more a combination of both. The Mayan God of War, Buluc Chabtan, is claimed to be stronger than all the other gods of war in any other religion, and can be seen depicted with a Macuahuitl. Perhaps Tyr earned his respect and was gifted this weapon by him. That’s an encounter with Kratos I would love to see happen. Khopesh: A unique fighting style for Tyr, as he duel wields blades known as Khopesh. A sickle shaped sword developed in Ancient Egypt, derived from battle axes. The most popular weapon during this time, as was often used with a chariot, the combination that helped forge an empire in Ancient Egypt. Various pharaohs and gods have been depicted with Kopesh’ in hand, and they were so valued some have even been found in tombs and graves. Derived from the word “leg” because of its shape, this seems to be a very significant weapon for Tyr as he calls it his “cherished weapon”. The name also must be symbolic, as Tyr has already admitted to Garm taking one of his arms, perhaps he had lost a leg in Egypt as well. This is highly likely as Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, is often depicted with Khopesh and the head of a hound or wolf. It seems Tyr has a bad history with celestial wolves. This would also explain how Tyr is able to get into Valhalla without Mimir’s knowledge of his death, and be part of the technicality that Tyr describes.Tyr must have been killed and revived by Anubis. It seems that these Khopesh were also imbued with power by Ra, the Egyptian Sun god, as Tyr has the ability to black out entire areas of the arena, leaving light only in small parts while wielding them. Katana(Kusanagi no Tsurugi)- Another stop on Tyr’s journey through other realms and pantheons was in Japan, as for his final weapon, Tyr pulls out a long Katana. The katana, characterized by its long curved blade, traditionally over two feet long, and is equipped with a long handle to wield with two hands. In Japanese culture, they are regarded as more than a blade, they are also a work of art. It’s possible the blade that Tyr wields is the Kusanagi-no- Tsurugi, a legendary blade that is considered one of the three scared treasures of Japan. It was found inside the Yamata no Orochi, an eight headed serpent who terrorized the lands. The sword is a symbol of valour, or bravery, which Tyr displayed plenty of when traveling across pantheons to whole new lands. Or perhaps it was Tyr himself who slayed the eight headed beast. Another pantheon full of potential to be explored in the future. Shield And Spear: The most famous of Tyr’s weapons and how he was often depicted are with his shield and spear. In the prophecy, we saw Tyr leading an army at Ragarnok using this infamous spear. It is of Norse design and making, rather than the Greek design many believe it to be. Tyr is not only the norse god of war, but also of Law and Justice, and I believe these tools represent this well. His will to attack and find justice for the norse people with his spear, but also a shield to protect and provide law and order with. Spears were the most common weapon used by Viking warriors, so it makes sense their God of War used and was often depicted with one. It’s his most commonly used weapon in your fights with him but he seems almost passive while using them.
They are Greek. Even though Tyr is typically depicted with a Spear and Shield as well, the greeks are more well-known to wield shields and spears as per their hoplite armies and phalanx formation strategies. What Tyr uses is of Greek origin but with Nordic design (it has Tyr's T symbol on it) , this is obvious in: he holds a Hoplite--a greek shield typically made of bronze--this is obvious by the design and how the way he holds it, Greeks hold their shields by strapping it on their forearm, and if you look closely, it has a "turtle shell" shape, a more hollow and curved shield; compare it to a nordic shield which is flat, planks stick together into a circle, domed with iron, and has a iron boss in the centre; Vikings typically hold their shields with a handle in the middle. Differences are small but distinctive, It is confirmed that Tyr used a Greek Hoplon/Aspis shield with a Dory/Doru spear; but added some nordic design on it
@@swiggityswoogity705 nothing confirms it as what you described was an average nordic shield, meanwhile he’s a god so he definitely won’t wield an average flat planks domed with iron, but a much more refined nordic shield
I don't know about the Aztec mythology, but I definitely recognised the Greek (probably) and Japanese tune. Not sure about Egypt, but the theme really rings a bell in my head cause of some Egyptian based movies.
I was so incredibly happy to see a Macuahuitl get a proper rendition. This one was gorgeous too, and gives me hopium that we could get a god of war in mesoamerica
I feel like the Shield and Spear shouldn’t represent any one culture. It’s universal. From the lowliest of farmers to the most royal of nobility, the pointy stick was the primary weapon of war across the world.
The shield kind of reminiscent of the Greek Hoplon. But I agree, the pointy stick is universal. Maybe that's why he only mentions he has weapons from far-off lands in the second fight.
it is Norse in design though, the spear has the flowing serpent like art work that the Norse were famed for, and the shield has tyr's rune, plus he's depicted in the ragnarok prophecy wielding said spear.
What I really like is that every weapon that Tyr unveiled to Kratos, you can hear a musical jingle that corresponds to that culture (Aztecs, Egyptians, Japanese, etc) right before they fight.
You can also see Tyr change every stage: Stage 1 : Greek Spear and Shield - Tyr is in his usual prison wear, tattered shirt, simple yet humble Stage 2 : Mesoamerican Macahuitl - Tyr now sports his own armor, designed for the Nordic God of War Stage 3 : Egyptian Khopesh's - Tyr now shows both his hands glowing, showing that he is showing more of his power to test Kratos Stage 4 : Japanese Katana - Tyr has his hands and forehead tattoos glowing--also a little bit more of his eyes--shows that in this state he shows Kratos that he must fight not just physically but mentally as well Also with each stage Tyr not only uses different weapons from different cultures but also implements their power as well; I saw someone comment in a different video where: In stage 2, when Tyr summons minions to heal him, this is in nod to Mesoamerican culture of human sacrifices to appease their gods Stage 3, As OP mentioned, imbued with Ra's power of sun and fire and light Stage 4, Tyr creates shadow clones of himself--I am not sure which specific mythological figure does this but there is one in the Japanese pantheon that has this power, to make copies on themselves and fight their battles for them
Ok so in a way, tyr also discovers the earth is round since he travels through the west. Scandavia - greece - north africa - mesoamerica- japan. Because if he use east route he would meet persian or india But kratos did meet persian pantheon (efreet)
I swear I geeked out this whole dlc. The Blade of Olympus returning. Helios and the Tyr fights which i said was a missed opportunity not having him as a secret boss fight to get a feel for Kratos since he missed Ragnarok
During the time of God of wars 4 late development After the big E3 2015/16? I don't remember Gameplay reveal trailer I was kind of wondering what other weapons kratos would use In other Mythologies These 4 kind of came to mind I would like to see him use them and what upgrades and special moves he can use
Is nice that u show the action stun scene like 5:07, 2:45 Is hard to find those on anywhere , even so , if hope that we saw Kratos fail at the click scene too cuz that was an fine action scene too
I wonder if we should see weapon types from other mythologies considering Tyr seem had went as far as Japan and even Mesoamerica. I would like to see weapons from Iran, India, South East Asia, Sub Saharan Africa and China
The “Katana” looks more like a tachi. Katanas are shorter and have a less pronounced curve. He even draws it with the edge facing downwards like a tachi should. Katanas are drawn with the edge upwards.
I wonder if it's a thing with Gods of Wars in this universe that they all have different weapons in their arsenal I mean even Ares has the hammer, Greatsword and a spear. The rest of the Gods either use their powers or have one primary weapon they use like posidon's trident or Thor with mjolnir
@@glp I didn't play it I watched from another video. Now you've made it to ending, you need to beat the game at least 15 to 20 times repeatedly for the complete dialogue of Sigrun, Kratos, and Mimir. That's where the secret ending is going to take place. It involves Sigrun breaking the rules in Valhalla to save kratos and mimir, and whenever u die or get a headache after facing Týr, talk to sigrun or let mimir guide the way.
@@thefirstofthelastones8952 and when Helios was swapped out for mimir. Mimir was teleported to a forest (Avalon).. which we know from Arthurian history

So many pantheons. Makes you wonder if those will be the next pantheons for Kratos. Imagine him with those weapons.
Dang this guy went everywhere including the Americas which is across the ocean. Is his armor also Norse during the second round?
Now I want Tyr as my History Professor.
Which also bring us to the question, which realm is Kratos visiting next?
@@Albino_Wolf
Possibly Japanese. I’d love to see him with a Japanese Katana and battling Raiden. Prepare for Mortal Kombat, baby.
@@multiverse_media2023 Raiden is from another region. So the closest thing that Kratos would fight in Japan is either Scorpion, Kenshi, etc.
1. Spear and Shield (with his Rune) : Greek
2. Macuahuitl : Aztec
3. Khopesh : Egyptian
4. Katana : Japanese
Spear and Shield are Norse
Vikings also had spears and shields of that fashion

Khopesh were also used by Canaanites in the Levant, the peoples who worshipped gods like Ba'al and Astarte
When Týr draws his weapons, each of them plays a thematic tune based of the weapons' origin.
@greysanatomy6071 what the hell are you talking about?
@greysanatomy6071 do you even know what the words mean?
@@decsev2210Unless you're stupid enough not to realize, what the comment says is true.
I don't know about the Aztec mythology, but I definitely recognised the Greek (probably) and Japanese tune. Not sure about Egypt, but the theme really rings a bell in my head cause of some Egyptian based movies.
Now u said it I can’t unhear the tunes lol

I wonder if every War God from pantheons around the world just have some trading market for weapons.
Where? At the God Market, of course. Where all Gods shop for the best gear, weapons and artifacts. Only for $999.95 plus free shipping.
@@multiverse_media2023 more like the souls of 999 slaughtered virgins
It's in Omnipotence City. You can meet other Gods there.
Mimir in last game mentioned mortals from all over bringing Týr gifts. I always figured the weapons were part of that collection
@@multiverse_media2023
Whoever delivers it must be the god of speed(definitely not hermes)
When you were too busy preparing for Ragnarök, Tyr was studying the blade
Greek, Egyptian, Aztecs and Japanese.
These are the four Pantheons he used in his fight with Kratos, who used Greek and Norse weaponry on his side.
Only the Axe was Norse. The Blades were Greek, the Spear is universal and Kratos was already familiar with it from his Spartan days.
Technically 3 since the spear and shield look nordic. Against kratos who had weapons from two different mythologies, same number of weapons though
Greek:Blade of olympus and blade of chaos
Norse:Leviathan axe and draupnir spear
Listen to the old fashion GOW games tune when Tyr pulls the shield and spear old...It's CLEARLY greek lol@@teardataco8913
You can also see Tyr change every stage:
Stage 1 : Greek Spear and Shield - Tyr is in his usual prison wear, tattered shirt, simple yet humble
Stage 2 : Mesoamerican Macahuitl - Tyr now sports his own armor, designed for the Nordic God of War
Stage 3 : Egyptian Khopesh's - Tyr now shows both his hands glowing, showing that he is showing more of his power to test Kratos
Stage 4 : Japanese Katana - Tyr has his hands and forehead tattoos glowing--also a little bit more of his eyes--shows that in this state he shows Kratos that he must fight not just physically but mentally as well
Also with each stage Tyr not only uses different weapons from different cultures but also implements their power as well; I saw someone comment in a different video where:
In stage 2, when Tyr summons minions to heal him, this is in nod to Mesoamerican culture of human sacrifices to appease their gods
Stage 3, As OP mentioned, imbued with Ra's power of sun and fire and light
Stage 4, Tyr creates shadow clones of himself--I am not sure which specific mythological figure does this but there is one in the Japanese pantheon that has this power, to make copies on themselves and fight their battles for them
I can't speak to which Japanese God in the pantheon can create Kagemi (shadow clones), but Kagemi are mythological shadows that served Ninjas
Tyr is in his usual clothes while wielding Shield and Spear is because it does not represent Greek weapon rather his own
Týr uses Naruto's jutsus
Ok so in a way, tyr also discovers the earth is round since he travels through the west.
Scandavia - greece - north africa - mesoamerica- japan.
Because if he use east route he would meet persian or india
But kratos did meet persian pantheon (efreet)
I swear I geeked out this whole dlc. The Blade of Olympus returning. Helios and the Tyr fights which i said was a missed opportunity not having him as a secret boss fight to get a feel for Kratos since he missed Ragnarok
Tyr is probably the coolest God to have those foreign weapons and being trained on how to use them. So cool.
Tyr, *"BECAUSE I CAN"*
Markiplier _what the FUCK?!?!?!_
Do u hear the music that relates to the mythologies everytime he draws the weapons?
During the time of God of wars 4 late development After the big E3 2015/16? I don't remember Gameplay reveal trailer I was kind of wondering what other weapons kratos would use In other Mythologies These 4 kind of came to mind I would like to see him use them and what upgrades and special moves he can use
That "Show me" at the beginning goes so fucking hard
Indeed I felt chills since this was the moment that we get to see the go of war that was teased back in 2018
When Tyr draws that Katana and the music changes to Japanese tune with flute and all... Ah I want next GOW to be in Japan
i knew he was gonna use a katana for the final moment
Yoooo the BGM when Tyr pulled out the Katana!
Is nice that u show the action stun scene like 5:07, 2:45
Is hard to find those on anywhere , even so , if hope that we saw Kratos fail at the click scene too cuz that was an fine action scene too
I wonder if we should see weapon types from other mythologies considering Tyr seem had went as far as Japan and even Mesoamerica. I would like to see weapons from Iran, India, South East Asia, Sub Saharan Africa and China
The only thing we missed is Celtic so I would guess we would see Celtic ancient weaponry
Kratos already go into another land and meet ifrit or whatever that is called which is persian from god of war chain of olympus
Kratos: God of Hope
Honestly buffed spear went so hard for these fights. Specially the weapon perk that gives it a random element after being thrown.
6:23 coolest weapon
So, Tyr is giving his friend therapy by beating the crap out of him?
The “Katana” looks more like a tachi. Katanas are shorter and have a less pronounced curve. He even draws it with the edge facing downwards like a tachi should. Katanas are drawn with the edge upwards.
At Tyr's size, that thing is more like an odachi.
why was his Katana 'stance' mostly him swapping to different weapons or just him using ranged 'spell' like abilities? Felt kinda weird.
So Tyr has been to the Aztec,Ancient Egyptian and Japanese mythology, interesting
Is that a motherfucking katana? This guy is a beast
We need Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, Paleo-Balkan, Hungarian, Proto-Uralic Mythologies too.
Wonder what other weapons Tyr’s packing up his sleeves?
Dude its so nice to see Kratos make dad friends
I wonder if it's a thing with Gods of Wars in this universe that they all have different weapons in their arsenal I mean even Ares has the hammer, Greatsword and a spear. The rest of the Gods either use their powers or have one primary weapon they use like posidon's trident or Thor with mjolnir
Deadly weapon
Tyr probably had all those weapons forged for him after visiting those other pantheon's.
Tyr is a Devil May Cry player. Able to switch between styles and weapons on the fly. 😎
And so does kratos
"I think you'll enjoy it" it's for all of us hahaha
Odachi and Katana is the same type? Different size?

Damn Tyr actually goes crazy

The Shield and Spear represent a unifying of Kratos' original Greek heritage and his new life in the world of the Nordic gods. While the spear and shield are a hallmark of Spartan battle tactics, they were also very commonly used by the Vikings in ancient Scandinavia. They don't necessarily represent any one pantheon, but rather a joining of the ones Kratos has experienced.
