In this video we continue our journey into the lore of the God of war series. This was a non stop thrill ride as we discover an older yet wiser Kratos. Aside from the visuals my wife and I were completely blown away story telling and voice acting of each character. Santa monica studios truly created a masterpiece with this game. Leave your thoughts in the comment section and let us know what you think about the God of War franchise.

If you carefully listen to what Kratos says to Baldur before killing him, he said "the cycle ends here" which was exactly what Zeus said in god of war 2 before killing Kratos
and just like the games following both, it didnt end.
@@38pulsewell they were both referring to children killing their parents, so Kratos was successful in stopping the cycle
Athena n Zeus was trying to end the cycle, yet they couldn't. BUT BALDUR IS NEARLY UNSTOPPABLE BUT KRATOS WAS LIKE "Na fuck it"
25:44 "Freya, you getting on my nerves now." Freya is doing her motherly duty while being cursed to not harm or defend herself as best she can, which is a little annoying. Also 26:00 "He's having an orgasim." Bauldr hasn't felt anything in the last 100 years so yeah 😅 he gonna be like that.
If you remember earlier in the game when freya saw atreus with the mistletoe she lost her mind she was damn shouting at atreus because that’s baldurs weakness😭
Then kratos puts it in the broken quiver .
We've come a long way in this God of War journey
It is not over, Ragnarök awaits.
@@zephyne3747 hell yeah, Ragnarok awaits
@@zaphiqiosefI'm so ready. I love people reacting to Ragnarok
Atreus said "i've never been in a Giant belly" Guess he was wrong.
Btw the music is really amazing, Ragnarok's is even better.
Yeah, from a viewers perspective, Freya trying to reason with Baldur who already lost it thanks his curse and Odin, does look stupid.
But remember the info we got about her throughout the whole journey.
Freya became Odin’s wife to keep her realm safe. And not only did her marriage turn out to be very bad, her people didn’t want anything to do with her, because in their eyes, she was just another Aesir with their blood.
Once Baldur was born, she could finally have a connection with someone that wouldn’t abuse or reject her. And with maternal instincts kicking in, of course she was afraid of her child’s fate cuz she didn’t want to lose the last thing she truly cares for. We see Baldur for the psycho he is, but Freya only sees the baby she held in her arms. It feels very tragic, the last thing she had, she inadvertently & unintentionally pushed away, and it soon led to his death right in front of her.
It’s crazy how much people don’t have empathy for Freya. 😔😔😔
No one ever pays attention to how much Mimir goes through during Kratos fights 😂. On another note, this game was definitely game of the year worthy. The art detail, story, and the emotions were amazing. I mean the way Tasha was reacting to Freya being mad at Kratos for her son just shows how in depth they went lol. Also Kratos has shown such amazing growth since the first trilogy. His practice of restraint and show of compassion truly shows that Kratos is changing.
poor mimir getting squashed and flailed around all the time
some dude made a video of gameplay... from Mimir' perspective!
there was this one vid on youtube that showed the POV of mimir when kratos is moving around and fighting... and I gotta say XD, man has been through too much lmao
@@givenofuckz2313 That video had me crying 😂 All you saw was just a shaking screen 🤣🤣 Shit looked like a fighting scene from a Bourne movie
Nah fuck off its good but Red Dead was robbed
Yeah you right about Sindri, he's not cursed it's he's such a germaphobic that even thinking about gross stuff, in this case someone's eye, causes him to get nauseous. Also talking about going inside the snake triggered him too.
poor Sindri ;(
This was another genius move by the creators of this game; in traditional Norse mythology, Frigg and Freya are different goddesses. Having them be the same entity really underscores the notion of Odin being a paranoid control freak, at least for the purposes of the game.
Nobody is actually sure if Frigg and Freya are different goddesses in traditional mythology. It’s kinda ambiguous
In more mythology Baldur was immune to everything except for mistletoe. The arrow that ended up in his hand was the arrow head that Kratos used to fix Atreus Strap. It’s also why freya tried to destroy all of Atreus mistletoe arrows and claimed they were “evil.”
And now we see why Freya freaked out when she saw the mistletoe arrows Atreus got from Sindri; in Norse mythology, that is the only substance that can harm Baldur. In the old stories, Baldur is killed by a mistletoe arrow fired by Loki's blind cousin, Hod (spoiler alert; it was Loki's idea).
As soon as these arrows were offered up while playing the game, I thought "yep, this is gonna be significant". :)
Can't wait for you guys to learn the lore of Ragnarok. Love this series.
Oh my God cant believe we were almost at the end of Norse Mythology already! Fight with Baldur at the end was so intense and seeing you guys reacting adding more to it.Cant wait for Ragnarok!!
The fall from the tree was a callback to the old games where he at some point would step off a mountain and just look down until he grabbed what he needed
I'm happy you got to this point in the game. You guys seem to be enjoying it and I'm happy to see that. This game has genius story telling there really wasn't a bad guy in the situation. Kratos is trying to protect a person who saved his own son, baldur is a character who was made to lose his mind by the person you're trying to save, and it also shows how some parent and child relationships survive and others don't. Also it makes you conflicted because this person saves your son and so you want to save them, by killing THEIR son lol. Talk about a rock and a hard place right? 🤣
Exactly. Santa Monica Studios gives the viewer a lot to chew on through out this whole story.
@TNTGamingonline definitely and I'm always happy watching you guys react to the game because I can see you genuinely understand the game and what it has to offer
The next game (Ragnarok) has an even better story so looking forward to you guys checking it out.
On god
We are so close to the end of this journey. I can't wait for Ragnarok. I have beaten that game 4 times lol
Kratos' theme tells a story itself in the lyrics, even in the Greek saga I believe
I wish you guys saw at least 1 of the 12 valkeryie fights theybplay a big role in the next game they are basically the ones that travel the souls the hel or valhalla
We’ll check it out.
@@TNTGamingonline yea after each of their fights you slowly figure out what happened to them and why hel was overrun and freya is the true Valkyrie queen
Love that you guys have gone through Kratos’ whole story. It just lends so much more emotional weight to the Norse saga if you know what came before. I hope you continue with Ragnarok after you finish this one. Great videos!
This is the second time Kratos is snapping Bulder's neck.
I loved how Atraus told Kratos to not kill Bulder, "he is beaten", he said❤. That shows he is not becoming like Kratos who the only option is *kill*
Can’t Wait For Yall To Get To Ragnarok Lol Loved All The Reactions In This Series
kratos quoted zeus, saying, "The cycle ends here."
Hope you finish this before getting into ragnarok
So in the original myth, Freya went to every living thing in every single realm, from man to beast, trees to grass, mountains to stones. She asked all to swear an oath to not harm Baldur, and each thing did. The only thing she did not go to was mistletoe. The god Loki learned this and had an arrow fashioned from the forgotten wood. At a party where each god was taking turns at drunkenly testing Baldurs' invulnerability, Loki stood next, drew his arrow, and killed Baldur on the spot. This is the first sign of Ragnarok. In respect, we now welcome mistletoe into our homes during the winter holidays, giving a kiss under it.
So I remember reading back in grade school that baldurs mother got every living thing in the world to swear never to hurt her son and the only thing that didn’t was mistletoe which she just assumed was 2 dumb and wouldn’t be able to hurt him but that’s the only weakness he had because it didn’t sweat to not hurt him.
Damn y’all read about fake history in school?
@@LaymanGamin no it was when i got my first library card lol so i just started reading about greek and norse gods. Mostly cuz i use to watch the hercules show and was into comics i might have wrote a report on it. Plus they be going into that stuff in anime so i was just like well let me read up on this. Way different than the cartoons and comics. Plus when buldor died it started ragnorok but i think he was the only god to come back to life idk it was like 26 years ago.
The arrows are the same as the ones Freya burnt because she knew they could kill her son
Yall are about to wrap up with this game and head onto the final one, its been a wild journey seeing you go through all 8 games. Imho this series is one of the rare masterpieces in gaming, from its continuity to its storytelling.
One thing before you move on to Ragnarok though, if the video you're on doesn't cover it, even if its off camera yall should check out the 12 Valkyrie fights in the game, the Valkyeries are important in the next game and you'll hear names you won't recognize if you miss them in this one, the unfortunate side of the 2018 game is that the Valkyrie fights are all optional side quests that offer extremely challenging boss fights, with the final one The Valkyrie Queen Sigrun being one of the toughest bosses in gaming since the Dark Souls series came out. This all becomes odd when characters in the next game reference Kratos fighting them if you as the player didn't in this game however
That green arrow that made Baldur vulnerable was the one from the dragon that Sindri made for Atreus and The Witch took them away from Atreus saying they are dangerous she did that cause that was Baldur’s weakness to his immortality
Kratos has changed so much proud of that man
RAGNAROK TIME NOW!!!!!! This is one of my favorite video game titles ever, it has been a good time watching you guys catch up from the beginning. Cant wait for yall to react to the next game!!!
38:42 when tee held his neck it he like I felt that too lol 😂😂
I have played through both GOW 2018 and Ragnarok on multiple occasions and I am really enjoying going on this journey with you guys without the stress of trying to beat the game. I am able to sit back and enjoy the story more than ever before. Thank you for doing this.
It's unfortunate that we didn't have a chance to see the Valkyries boss fight!
This journey really showed the evolution of Kratos and Atreuses relationship as father and son and what a great team they make and how Atreus is nice smart young god with so much potential
Before moving on Ragnarok watch the side quest with The Valkyries. It gives more info about the Helheims' damned souls and gives more background about Freya.
Wow this has been the best episode yet, I get so excited for yalls episodes!!
I REALLY NEED YOUR REACTIONS! ESPECIALLY, GOD OF WAR! MUCH LOVE! WATCHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES!♥️🇵🇭
Freya is that mother in a court case who will insist her "baby did not do that, he's a sweet boy". Meanwhile there's video evidence of him k!lling 100 people.
This journey was amazing, only one episode left before you get to the last game… 🥲 I enjoyed this time on your channel a lot and after you finished gow I will definitely watch your mortal combat videos! Thank you guys for posting this amazing videos. Keep it up guys ❤❤
This is such an incredible game.
In Norse mythology Baldur’s death triggers fimbulwinter (continuous snow for three years) and heralds the beginning of ragnarok (Norse Armageddon) for the first time in several play-throughs just watching i do feel for freya they touch on her and baldur relationship in the next game. It was prophesied when he was a baby he’d die a needless death and she was doing everything to break prophecy. the one thing she cherished was her son and they had years of good times until she cursed him trying to protect him…everything went left but as crazy as balder was perspective wise they’re gods so they have time (example kratos changed…it took years but he did) as long as he was alive there was a chance he could be saved even if it meant her death but once kratos snapped his neck it was over and all the prophecies start to happen which will lead to craziness in the next game
Well do we really need to guess what a can parent do after losing the family 😅. We all know how the downfall of Olympus began. Simply because Aris made him kill his family. Result he destroyed the world in anger. And in case of Baldur he is already unstable because of hundreds of year without feeling anything and we don't know what might odin said to him in those years to win his trust and increase his hate toward his mother. Well its was simple in last game he just wanted vengeance but know he need to raise kid. I can summarize both GOW 2018 AND Reganrok in simple words Parenting is difficult task and you need to wipe their ass if your children did something wrong. 😂 ....
Well we almost reach the end of this story so guys might want react on GOW Ragnarok trailer before starting the next game
Ahhhh I couldn't wait for this! Thanks for continuing to provide us with this content and we are glad you're making a speedy recovery.
If y’all got mesmerized with this game, I can’t wait to y’all react to the new game… It’s better. In ANY WAY POSSIBLE.❤️
Can't wait for the next episode ❤ love the God of war story, its so good and yes I've played the games.
Out of all the boss fights in GOW, Baldur was the only one that I had mixed emotions about. I enjoyed kicking his ass but I didn't want to kill him because I didn't wanna beef with Freya. I really liked her character because I see her being a good mother. You sensed it in the beginning but it was still unclear, if she was trustworthy or not. When she saved Atreus, that's when it became official. So by comparison, she hasn't been through a whole lot like Kratos but it was a similar situation, regarding his fear of losing his son. And it just sad that the first God he decided to save, he ends up being labeled as a bad guy still. But from her being a parent, it's understandable.
Can't wait until y'all react to Ragnarok because it gets a whole lot better than that💯💯
tasha was scared asf when baldur was getting beaten to pulp. 😂
You two should check out Tales of Mimir to get the full history and lore of Norse Gods.
I'd hope people could understand Freya's side in this fight and I'm glad Mimir explained why she did that. Someone who lived alone for 100 years, thinking about what she could say to the only person she loved the most, trying to make things right, even if it means her death. I AM glad they did this, if Freya accepted his death that easly in the end, it would be such a bad writing.
It really frustrates me when people call Freya crazy or write her off. Like… she wanted a chance to reconcile with her son and Kratos took that from her. Baldur’s an asshole, yeah. But if you were separated from your kid after screwing them over so badly for a really long time, and then saw them again, wouldn’t you want to reconcile and reconnect? And if someone else was trying to kill your kid in that moment, wouldn’t you want to protect them???? Is Freya really crazy or a monster for that????
The lack of empathy is really insane to me. And the amount of times I see that lack of empathy at animosity directed at Freya really is disappointing.
“Not a threat?! Get outta here Boy!” 🤣🤣 YALL gon LOVE Ragnarok. Still the spreading of the ashes and surprise cutscene
In a prophecy it was told Baldur was going to die by a green arrow, blinded by fears of losing her son Freya put a cures on him of invulnerability, knowing the arrow was going to break the curse she made sure no green arrows were anywhere near her son. In the end freya was left with no husband, no friends, and no family. She claimed to seek revenge on Kratos until he was dead, since she can no longer go home she will forever be alone.. until. Guess you'll have to find out in god of war ragnarok. lol😉
Everything Tee said about the composition of the game is right on the money! I believe they won awards for the music. Both actors Christopher Judge and Danielle Nicole Bisutti made this game the ultimate experience from start to finish. It would be great to get you guy’s opinion on the music of the game.
I watch another RUclipsr (A Jazz pianist) that goes over all types of music from anime, games and movies.
Finally! After a week😢...i wish i could see this everyday!
Had to Binge watch this series of you two from start to finish it’s been great! Such a beautiful story!there’s still ragnarok to come ⚔️🤙
Cant believe she’s made it this far.
I know it’s hard to trust Freya especially at this point but she is honestly a pretty interesting and complex character that’s been dealt a shit hand of cards. Her son was batshit and murderous but he was also the one thing she had left. Her own people even turned against her after she married Odin to try and make peace between the Aesir and Vanir.
oddly enough: loki was instrumental in baldurs death in mythology. The big differences are: Our loki didn't know thst was the weakness, the arrow struck baldur in the heart killing him immediately, and a blind archer had the arrow placed in his supply once thor took baldur to the shooting range to cheer up Baldur on that day. (Cheer him up by having archers try and shoot arrows at baldur until they gave up or baldur fell down from the weight of the arrows.
Fun fact: kratos in this game is said to be 6,4 ft but on the greek games he is said to be 7 ft and even claim to be 8 ft which is incredible it makes little sense on why his height got decreased
It would be pretty hard for a 7-8 ft god to live convincingly as a man. I'm personally glad that they toned his height down, he's still a big dude, but not ridiculously so.
older games where more hack and slash camera was really zoomed out, they had to make kratos taller
Now it's time to finish this journey😊
I loved this video. If it’s possible could you guys listen to some of the boat conversations. There’s a lot more lore in conversation with mimir and a lot of it is brought back in god of war ragnork
I can’t wait for the ragnorok reaction
Cant wait to jump into ragnarok with y'all 😢
So stoked for ragnarok next❤
starting MK11 AND God of war Ragnarok?! we gettin FED 😆
I think Freya allowed Baldur to kill her because, among other circumstances, she thought she deserved it, and because, now that Baldur is mortal, she didn't want to see him die.
juss start watching y’all vids, rock with yall💪🏾💯
35:55 “Not a threat? Get out of here boy” 😂😂
I just finished the story for this game for the second time recently. Visually amazing and the story line is so deep! The dialogue is A+ ! im excited to see yall's reaction for what's to come! ALSO; Sindri the dwarf was dry heaving because he's a germ-a-phobe so the thought of a single eye had his stomach turning lol. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS TRAIT AS YOU GO THROUGH THE STORY!
34:38 That combo beat down that kratos and his son altrea's gives Baldur will forever and always be the most iconic, favorite moment of mine in the entire game!💯💯🔥😁😉👍
Kratos pulled out an 8 mile self roast at the end 🔥🔥🔥
Another cool detail is baldur seeing smow when he died. In the norse lore, baldur's death is what brings fimblewinter, a three years long winter that bringa Ragnarok. That's why freya gave him that protection
Yo I love this was actually hyped when I saw this lol 😂🔥💯 can't wait for y'all next series or gowr
The killing of Baldur is what brings about Ragnarok. It wasn't just the death of Freya's son, but the death of everything potentially.
I can’t wait to see what you guys think of Ragnarök! The story gets even better than this
You must finish the final quest and there is a secret ending as well play the next part please and then start ragnarok.
Mimir was stretching his vocals to talk to the snake that’s why he made that sound. And y’all trippin. Any good parent would sacrifice there life to save there child’s life . Protecting ur child is ur main goal
Cant wait for Ragnarok
im so excited for u guys to do god of war ragnarok
Love watching both of ur reaction abt god of war.. I hope u can react to the documentary abt raising kratos too before u go to ragnarok ^^ love from Malaysia ❤
Eddie Murphy voice: I ain't going in no damn mouth! LMFAO
This series is amazing !
Awesome video.
Baldur's voice actor was incredible during his final scenes.
Can’t wait for y’all ragnarök reaction!
What a journey! It's time for God of War Ragnarök
Time for ragnarok baby!! 🙌
1:37 AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*Sing with me, sing for the years, Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears!!*
Can't wait for the ride that is Ragnarok!
I feel so bad for baldur. Dude was so innocent and literally didn't had the chance to live a normal life.
I look forward on your reaction journey to GOW Ragnarok.
odd reaction to a mother trying to save her son, you give Kratos a pass for literally destroying his world but Balder and Freya must die now
Christ I can’t wait for you guys to see Ragnarök now. It’s even better and has more callbacks to Kratos’s past!
This has been one hell of a ride I (and we) have had the privilege of riding with you. I so appreciate witnessing your reactions to the ongoinga of this *fantastic story!*
I love this for y'all!
Have you guys thought about reacting to Red dead 2? The story in that game is imo better,or at least as good as God of war.
The valkyrie theme is hands down one of the best imo
4:04 ....man we fought the enemies of 9 realms, people... 😂😂😂... It just showed just 20 sec lol😂😂
Kratos cares and gets involveld in this, not because of a greater good but because he's reflected in Baldur killing his parent, like he with Zeus, so he wanted to finish the cycle of sons killing their parents.
The best descision but one that will bring Ragnarok, like in the mythology.
Can’t wait to see the GOW: Ragnarok reactions
The story was amazing
Atreus saying "I've never been in a Giants belly either" is such a tease from the devs if we know his other name 😂
Almost ready for Ragnarok...😂😂
Look forward to y’alls reaction to god of war every week 😂❤
The beginning😈
