- God of War Ragnarok has a fantastically crafted story, however,*- it can be pretty complicated to understand when playing through the game due to the shire size and length of the campaign and story mode. However, in this video, I have gone through my 22 hours of gameplay and broken down the story of GOW Ragnarok and explained how it links with God of War 2018, and exactly what happens throughout. If you have any questions please leave them below in the comments! God of War Ragnarok Story EXPLAINED! (GOW Ragnarok Full Story Breakdown & Lore)

God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC Story Explained - ruclips.net/video/DA9tZw5lcZM/видео.html
My head canon is that when Thor killed Kratos and revived him in their first fight, that was actually the prophecy coming to fruition.
The prophecy on the wall shows Atreus holding Kratos in his arms crying or something, but since Atreus wasn’t there to hold Kratos when the time came maybe the prophecy was never going to be fulfilled since the beginning of the game. Maybe Faye destroying the mural changed fate.
Still think that Kratos got clocked out by Mjolnir. He didn't die just got knocked out.
Nah, the Norns said fate in this land more works because people can’t change their nature. When Kratos trusts Thrud, extends an olive branch to Thor, and tell Atreus to open his heart and save civilians, he changes from how he has previously been. In doing so, the events that would’ve come from him remaining stubbornly violent are altered
@@johnlucas2838 no he died that's why it took you to the death screen the same screen that you get when you die in game that's why they took you to that screen to make sure you understood that he just died that's why he had to shock his heart to bring him back to life his heart had stopped that's the whole point of him putting the hammer on his chest and shocking him he died he wasn't knocked out
@@willburko3197 That's mostly why I say head Canon because I know that there are plenty of issues with it, but I still accept it cause it is fun.
Being told the lore by youtube: 🤓
Being told the lore by the game devs: 😃
Being told the lore by mimir:
🗿 🍷
I loved the ending. How it made Kratos pretty much cry and seeing him in shock. That people are worshipping revering him as a rebuilder and not a destroyer or monster anymore.
😩 truly brought tears to my eyes
Truly a god of war worthy of reverence and respect. One that does not seek war, but fights one only when necessary.
The last victim of the Ghost of Sparta, his own bloody reputation.
If Theres One Thing Kratos Does not have control over its his own Rage of Destruction
@@Outlawproductions582 the end of Ragnarok proved that he has a good handle on it though, or he would have smashed Thor into paste and moved on to Odin.
4:36 I don't believe Kratos did this to show dominance. Since this started out as a negotiation, I think they just both agreed to temporarily disarm themselves and keep their weapons in plain sight. Though obviously still close by.
This is a re-upload of my God of War Ragnarok Explanation video because the previous one got age restricted? The video took me 40 hours to create and it was doing so well. When it was age restricted it just tanked in performance... I have no idea why, and RUclips themselves wouldn't even tell me why it was age restricted. So I have no choice to re-upload the video so that everyone can see it again. Sorry for the re-upload, I appreciate you understanding.
RUclips is fucked they've essentially age restricted all of ACG's reviews that literally are REVIEWS... the vids are like 40 mins long and they age restrict it within like 5 mins of the video being published...
Thank you
@@bobbob-cd9yl it’s so irritating mate. It’s more irritating that no one can tell me why it’s been age restricted? Like I’ve lost all ability to make revenue on that 40 hours I’ve spent creating the video, so this is my only option really… really sad
Appreciate your taking the time. Well done. I don't even game anymore but I love anything mythology related. 👍
Yes the mask is very similar to the mask kind of wish they done an alternative ending don’t you😂
So Draupnir was actually a gift to Odin from Brok and Sindri. Every 9th night, it would drip clones of itself. I wasn't an ore, but that ring. That's why it kept spouting out new rings and why the had a well full of them.
This guy gets so many things wrong like calling the norns a species when in fact they are gaints. As well as calling surtr and sinmara gods.
Brok and Sindri fuckin' invented Inflation
It's important to note that the developers leave subtle clues to Tyr's true identity. Look at the accent above the name anytime they mention Tyr, then compare that to the subtitle name whenever tyr talks.
I just saw that video pointing that out too.
@@lindseyormsbee "We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled"
It’s much more obvious it is not Tyr when you find him at the end of the game. When you find him, he seems fine a peaceful, whereas Odins version is all broken. This is showing Odins arrogance as well as it shows Odin thinks he can break anyone
@@leedsi1239 wait so was Tyr ever alive, or was he Odin from the very start in the mine?
@@josephjoestar995 Tyr is alive, although you never meet the real Tyr until doing a side quest after finishing the main quest
It's also subtle, but in Kratos's shrine, you can see the embossed shape of Thor and Atreus, meaning this was the death mural of Kratos we saw in the past; but it has been painted over with this new future of him uniting the people and being beloved by the people. Faye changed their future and guided them both towards a more beautiful future that would persist long after she was gone; for her son and Kratos whom she loved. She changed the future where Kratos would die, signified by how it was painted over with this new future.
how does she change the future?
@@alizayd4040 Like the Fates said "You are the sum of your choices, nothing more." and Atreus mentioned that in prophecy, only the big events get forseen, the details are up to us and can be changed. The GoW fate and prophecy system works in a bit of a hybridization of these 2 concepts.
With this in mind, Faye, having seen this future, rejected it. Her people, the giants, forsee the future with their future sight and embrace it as their culture. Faye went against the entire culture of her people and fought to change that fate. She broke shrine in Jotunnheim to prevent Kratos and Atreus from knowing their future. So that all their choices will be theirs alone, and not blindly follow a prophecy they saw (it was referenced several times that people in knowing their fate, try to change it, and thir efforts to change fate only end up leading to that fate they try to escape. So Faye changed small details and with her future sight, made extensive preparations before her death. She painted guiding markers (which we see as guides for where to climb,etc), set up a safe haven for Atreus to grow in safety, then got Kratos to cut down the tree that hid them from the gods, knowing that it will set them on the path towards changing their fate.
I love this because it all ties back in to the concept of hope. Faye put all her hopes into Kratos, because she could see the man that he could become. Hope that Kratos will grow and better himself. She believed in the god that she knew Kratos could become.
@@ruijie1961 well put thank you
About the part with draupnir...
The idea was with an unlimited recreation of the weapon (the part's you can explode) to overflow Heimdalls ability to see your next move.
Like spider sense
Like overwhelming his spider sense
Like overwhelming his adhd with sensory overload.
Another important detail is that Kratos can fight with it as if it were a natural extension of his body, making it harder for Heimdal to use his foresight
Came here to say this
This video is a MUCH BETTER recap than others I've seen on RUclips. Thank you for explaining the story beat by beat, in order. Other videos were jumping all over the place, talking about later reveals at the very beginning. I like this much more.
Thank you mate. I do all my explanations videos like this, much more in-depth :)
@@_Wizzo Groa was not Freyr's wife, it was Aurvandil
I seen some people saying fat Thor is a bad look but Thor is power and that big stomach is a ton of muscle.
Agreed.
I think the stomach is mead and the rest is muscle
Thor physique remind me of Strong Man competitors.
At the end . . .
Freya: What now?
Kratos: I do believe I owe you a son! Waka waka waka!!!
I ship them so hard did in the first game and even more now.
The most unbelievable thing in this saga was that Odin didn't give Freya at MINIMUM 20 children, absolutely unforgivable man must have been asexual
Ha! Yep!
I tried my best to do every side quest I found and I love how it all seems to tie in and feel important to the main story. It feels like your making a difference in your cause and that your making the odds slightly more in your favor even if it doesn’t change the ending
Thing that sucks is there no NG+ I did 100% All labors and goals before the funeral and there is nothing to do after but do fight challenges🥲
@@MrFable93 honestly that’s my favourite part of the game. I love having that feeling of having seen and collected everything and now I’m tracking down all the hardest enemies to clean out the realms of threats.
I’ve been trying to get 100% completion on every realm but it’s a struggle😭
@@MrFable93 if u haven’t done 100% completion on every realm it’s a challenge😭 I’ve been playing the game since it released and still haven’t gotten 100% completion
@@porkyexodus567 lol but I did. I have nothing else to gain but silver lol
Its sooooo good...i started my 2nd playthrough on a harder difficulty right after...wish there was a ng+
I was fine with their decision in not including a ng+ in my opinion, as I had issues with playing my original save after 2018's story without wanting to jump into the ng+
What's ng+ out of interest?
@@_Wizzo NewGame+ Start over with all your gear and skills like in 2018. Horizon didn’t have NG+ until a couple patches in, fingers crossed.
@@jamesharris5156 oh yes of course! I’ve not done that yet, but defo will when I’ve 100%ed the game
@@_Wizzo the point he was making is that you cant. New game plus doesnt currently exist in the game but it would be good if it did
My head canon is that the mask was sucked into jim Carrey the mask
Dont give those wrighters any idès...
Fun fact:The Fake Týr is in the game spelled "Tyr" and Real is spelled "Týr" that's how you can foresee it
4:37 Thor places his hammer on the table as a sign of good will and non-hostility. Kratos does the same. Not out of dominance, but respect
Hmmmmm… bit of both I think
@@_Wizzo no its to show good will
@@Cyrus-rodn45 ok noted, I stand corrected. :)
I think it’s sign of dominance just like he chugs the mead he poured for kratos
@@Cyrus-rodn45 nah hard disagree
I love how Thor snaps his fingers to call his hammer
I think it’s cool as f**k
it’s been seen that he can recall it without snapping his fingers, which makes it even cooler that he just does that for fun
just saying guys I know that kratos would want to keep the axe cause its his wifes and his blades he cant give away but do you think that he should give back draupnir to sindri as it was a gift from brok and he did say let the weapon be put down when its job is done. I think it should as it would be a way for kratos to say "have the last thing brok made to remember him by" and also a way to say "sorry we kept taking from you, I dont know how to give anything back but this would be a start"
sindri is still not in the mood to talk to right now, possible to do that in future story of GOW
That's beautiful.
I loved that
@@redpoint6870 brok did say let it be put down when its job is done, its job is done I think sindri should get the last thing brok ever made
@@trygullx it makes perfect sence
Didn't mimir say odin pulled out his own eye while off his face on mushrooms?
Does odin remember the event differently?
Odin also lies, maybe he was manipulating Atreus to complete the mask?
The eye could've been blinded by the crack. Only to lose that eye when he tore his face out when high on mushrooms.
I didn't notice this while playing the game or while watching any playthroughs but, if you look closely during the scene where Fenrir dies and his soul bits come out, you can see one of the 4 bits going into Atreus's knife while the other 3 float away. I love rewatching these things post-gameplay and seeing the little details that i missed. This game definitely deserves all the awards and praise that it received. Such a good game.
So technically, Fenrir's soul is not whole too. Just like Brok. The knife only absorbed one part of his soul. I wonder if that is of some concern or not.
@@Wanderlust_Sal my guess aswell
47:20 had me tearing up that scene was amazing and such an amazing character arc
There's a plot hole in 2018 where you hear the serpent horn sound and it's never stated who sounded it. I think that sounds we heard was Gallarjorn echoing through time.
That was actually shot down in a interview about the game
I always assumed it was either Baldur, Odin, or Thor interrogating Jormagundr after finding the Thor sons and Mimir dead.
@@lantzferguson didnt Mimir state that Jormundgar speaks a dead language that only Mimir knew of at the time tho? So Thor or Baldur couldnt have communicated with him idk about Odin tho
Well told!!! Just how I saw the story through. Always been a major fan of the God Of War series. Absolutely loved Kratos's character development. From a Vengeful Warrior to a loving Father and Husband to the Savior of the people. Great story telling. Finished it on Give Me Balance, now my 2nd run is on Give Me God of War, and its brutal!!!! But very fun!!!
Terrible game story path was ruined
What I don’t understand is why the mask had a reaction in Hel? No piece of the mask was there so why? To free Garm?
That’s a good question. Let’s see if future DLC covers that. Or possible sequels.
Probably because garm has the ability to slice through realms. The small tear and garm's realm tears seem very similar.
Exactly! No one even questioned that. I thought for sure the mask piece was gonna be actually attached to Garm after he ran away
We need to make some form of commotion to Santa Monica studios to have them make a DLC of Atreus of him going to the nine realms gathering the Giants marbles. It has to be done 🔥
Or maybe thats gow 3
@@thejosepharias lol what no god of war 3 brings the destruction of Olympus mate are you new to gow ? And I do agree the next game is Atreus it been confirmed when Chris told sunny at the game award he was the future of the series
@@Praisestothemosthigh369 i meant gow 3 new gen, this is the second new gen
Wizzo, you were a bit wrong with Baldur’s curse. Freya has cast a spell on him so he can’t die in order to protect him (there was a prophecy of his death), and the fact that Baldur couldn’t feel anything was just a side effect of that, it was not the purpose of Freya’s spell.
I think it's funny that so many people seem to not like playing as Atreus. Not only was it fairly obvious from the last game that this game was going to center around him heavily, but I thought the gameplay with him was really cool as well.
I liked that it was at least similar enough to Kratos’ gameplay
I 100% get it for the story but combat with him just isn't as fun. It probably shouldn't be but still
My only complaint was that his bow abilities/runic attacks were kind of lame. His bow abilities just weren't that cool, and his runic summons were a better fit for being his supporting character attacks. Otherwise, I thought his combat was pretty good. It certainly wasn't as deep as Kratos, but it was fun
Loved playing as boy you are right it was obvious from 2018 god of war that Atreus is the new main character and confirmed by Chris when he said Sunni your the future of this at the award
I just finished this game yesterday, thank for uploading a video that goes through the story with all the hours of distraction via sidequests lol so many emotions at that ending
Master piece of a game and video thank u!
Stupid? Its wank , not a patch on any of the other games. I carnt play 8 hours in and i could slash my wrists how they ruined the game. aBSOLUTE stupid bullshit story with awefull childish colours
I’m guessing now we’re gonna get Atreus solo games and it’s probably going to start in Egypt and imagine how powerful he’s going to be he will probably be able to fly and speak any language or even have Spartan rage
Like how Thor places his hammer on the table so is that a table worthy to hold the hammer
First about the part with the marbles or rather the thing you were talking about with rocks, they aren't rocks that look like bodies they ARE bodies. Angrboda says that they just left a big enough pile of corpses to make Odin think they were all dead.
Second Freyr didn't marry Groa he married Gerdr whom he gave up his sword for.
Third Atreus took MODI'S room, not MAGNI's.
Fourth Sutr is a fire giant and Sinmara is a frost giant they are not gods there's a difference between god and giant.
Fifth The Norns aren't a species They are just three spirits that can see into the future or at least able to predict it incredibly well.
Sixth Draupnir is MADE of mineral and not A mineral its a ring not a rock.
Seventh "when draupnir is combined with another mineral" is not what they did, they took a spearhead and draupnir along with some of the essence of wind to which the lady combined with Kratos' blood to make a spear.
Eight, Thor WAS an alcoholic along with Sif his wife, they both tried to stop drinking and Sif upheld her side while Thor broke it in the mead hall before the brawl.
Nine AGAIN sinmara and Sutr AREN'T gods, they are giants, Sutr a fire giant and was in Muspelheim and Sinmara is a FROST giant in Niflheim.
Ten Hildisvini was always a human he was just trapped in his boar form in Midgard.
Eleven the blades of chaos aren't just filled with primordial fire they were made USING primordial fire or at least with primordial fire. Twelve No not all of the gods of the realms, Vanaheim and Asgard have gods, Niflheim has frost giants, Alfheim has no gods, Muspelheim had fire giants, Helheim doesn't have a god, Midgards gods are the Vanir and Aesir, Svartalfheim doesn't have any gods, and Asgard well its the side the others are fighting oh and Jotunheim has no gods either just giants. Thirteen his name is Atreus not Loki. Fourteen Kratos didn't arrive from Athens he arrived from Olympus' ruins.
This wraps what details the youtuber got wrong or mixed up. ( it goes along with the video so I wish you luck trying to read it.
Considering the Blades of Chaos are named after the primordial goddess in Greek Myth, Chaos/Khaos which was the first god to emerge in creation. Primordial flame would make sense considering from Khaos, Erebus (Mists of the Underworld; Darkness), Aether (Mists of Heaven), Nyx (Night), and Hemera (Day) come to be.
I'm starting to think Aether is light now...
There's a conversation with Mimir where they talk about how Hildisvini and others like him specifically have the power to turn only into a boar
@Jamaine Elmore your right Hildisvini had 2 forms, most notably in norse mythology he was a pious believer of Freya named Ottar, to whom he built shrines of stone and an altar to her. She answered his prayers for help in finding out his ancestors by disguising him as Hildisvini, and tricking Gygr Hyndla a jotun of writing and text and forced the jotun into giving a memory potion to him so he would not forget what she knew of his ancestors.
Well technically giants and gods are the same. They both come from the primordial giant, so they are technically related.
@@calebleach7988 yes that's True but the giants don't have abilites like the gods they can't completely control one element to their will. Some like Thamur were frost giants sure but they did other things and didn't specialize in the element they were born of. Like Atreus, or Faye they were just giants not Fire or ice giants. Whereas the gods have unique powers and abilities. They may be related but fundamentally they are different.
Sir, thank you, for helping me understand the ending better. This video also helped explain alot of other things in the story. Sadly, some details are still left unanswered (not your fault. It was Cory Balrog's intention for Ragnarok's sequel) But, regardless, this video was a good watch/listen while doing sidequests after beating the main story.
Thank you very much mate! :)
@@_Wizzo and I to I was confused by the ending of the game where atreus left
It is bitter sweet that he couldn't see what happened to gods like him when he died, but he could have not seen that future because he didn't have one. His soul was destroyed. So he, like Brock won't ever be able to have an afterlife. Brock maybe lost because of his direction but that don't mean he can't find the lake of souls necessarily. Sindri couldn't get one part back, that part could have been his direction. So he may find an afterlife yet.
So the plot about the 'mask' is coming from 'son of the mask'
I notice that Odin dies in the same way that kratos was supposed to,in the arms of Atreus,maybe the prophecy was saying his father figure instead of father and Atreus maybe thought of Odin as a father figure that’s why he tried to see the good in him and save him.
I really wish Freya and Mimir saw Kratos's shrine... That would have been some heartfelt dialogue.
I don't comprehend how anybody could beat this in 20 hours. Unless they played on easy and literally didn't do anything other than the main stories.
He actually did. He played the easy mode without doing side quests.
@@anjaneyasreetrout2444 explains alot lol
Easy mode no side quests :)
Faye story dlc with meeting with kratos,kratos dlc going back to Greece for rebuilding and freeing Greece people from demonic entities monsters creatures
The "retcon" of the giant bodies being rocks is a bit ridiculous. Anyone who plays GoW 2018 can screenshot the scene where Kratos and Atreus are looking from the highest peak and the images in the distance are very much BODIES! Of all the things to retcon. OMG 🙄 . Why couldn't they just say the "bodies" of the giants was a magical mirage rather than rocks stacked to look like bodies. C'mon writers! Don't be sorry! Be better. #bebetter #GoW #Ragnarok
All these magical gods in the room and nobody could save brok from a single stab wound?
Unfortunately brok isn’t really complete and I guess the wound was too fatal
And thrud is actually Aloy........ 🤷♂️
Wow.. loved the video.. i finished the main story a couple of days back.. took a while doing a lot of side quests hence kinda lost track on the main story.. this was a great way to go through the wholw story.. thanks ❤
I feel like I need to correct one thing. Atreus was going to talk to Freya, and Sindri tagged along and convinced Atreus to ask the world serpent before going to Freya.
I LOVE THE STORY
#Wizzo awesome video, brotha. I’m sure we’ve been going through many different creators of God of War videos. I like the way you explain story and the whole feel of the video. Continue on my man.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it alot!
Wow so what if the hope he had gave the world allowed him to become a god to the people just as Faye had on the shrine
Ragnarok was epic! The best God of War yet! I couldn't stop playing this game. Even after beating it, I'm still venturing out to unexplored places.
Love the last part…kratos remember Mirmir…and hinted to Freya….hey my “head” accessory…Freya was like oh yea…and past him Mirmir…and actually kind of hoping kratos will hold her hand….you can actually see Freya starting to love Kratos as family
Out of curiosity, If Freya and Kratos were to conceive a child, I wonder who the child would be .? Considering Kratos and Faye concieved Loki (atreus) , who do you think Kratos and Freya’s child would be?
Not going to happen
I’m guessing that prophecy is from Atreus telling the giants as he finds them in distant realms of his father in an amazing light and how he helped people and protected those he loved relentlessly
Fenrir could get them into asgard, right? Why did they not just use the dog they just got
After Atreus frees Garm (the original Hound of Hel), while speaking to Odin, Odin tells him that Asgard is safe from the effects of the realm tears, but that the rest of the realms would be affected.
Maybe it was only after Kratos sounded Gjallarhorn that Fenrir was able to travel through tears to Asgard.
Like I dig the more gentle Kratos, but really the series is not called the God of Peace or Rebuilder...I love character arcs but not to the point where he is unrecognizable. I already felt he was "weaker" on Ragnarok than in previous games. I understand fatherhood could cause this, but we've explored this side of him. I think we should find a way to bring back his rage and his darker side. Perhaps he falls in love with Freya and she gets killed by the Egyptian gods. This would fuel his rage.
However, I am thinking more the Moses story is where they'll go. Kratos the savior of the Hebrews and killer of the Egyptian gods.
That’s a bit excessive, but yeah. Even I don’t like the character arc they’ve done for kratos after the first three games, but it is good and leave a good conclusion. Can’t have the raging mindless killing machine for 9 games in a row lol.
This game was trash son
I like this Thor's appearance. Look at Eddie Hall at his strongest. Now look at Thor. There we go.
Your channel is amazing, just discovered some of your other vids after running through that Hogwarts Legacy breakdown. 🔥
Thank you!!:)
Lol @ 22 hours of play time. I’m at 30 hours and just went over the half way point in the story line.
I did the story first souly. I'm 40 hours in right now and still not finished side quests haha
Why Faye sent kratos and atreus to the highest peak if she did not want them to see the prophecy of kratos dying? I did not get that. It's said in GOW Ragnarok that she destroyed the murals because she did want they to change their fate. So, why she sent them to see the prophecy in GOW 2018 in the first place?
Kinda love the fact you used the halo soundtrack (an xbox exclusive) on a video on god of war (a sony exclusive). I'm sure you would have rather used gow:ragnarok's soundtrack, but sony is known to be total dicks about copyright
Just started playing last night, just watched fenrir die and atreus leave... I know what's next, but I fell asleep with my controller in hand after a long work day
Such a sad way to start off the game haha
A good story. Kratos was the general of Sparta was loosing in battle against the barbarians seek to ares. gave him the blades of chaos gave him a task that there was an enemy village that needed to be destroyed. Turns out it was his own people in that village killing his wife and kid. The gods hates him and betrayed him. Kratos only wanted to be the god of war the general the god of the people. Now he has full filled his prophecy. As for his son Atreus following his moms footprints to save his people from the torment of Odin. A beautiful ending but I hope there is another one
I find a lot of the pieces of analysis you put in this very basic. Fore example, Tyr wanting to sleep in the broom closet isn't weird because he's a god. It's weird because he's 8 feet tall.
When Thor arrived I was like “ffs sake let this man rest..” 😂
This recap is a lil dodgy. So many pointless parts in the story were mentioned and treated like they were super important (the broom closet fact doesnt really matter too much when it's brought up and it ruins the suprise when you kinda indicate that something so insignificant matters). There were also some mistakes like when you said that the stone tables in the tower didn't show kratos' death because that's simply incorrect and kratos' hid it from Atreus so he would find out
Not really an explanation or breakdown. You basically just summarized it
The game was uninspired and followed a very “marvel movie” like narrative, while the game play was fun I felt the game had so much more to offer than what we got
This part sucks where the breserk vengeful God of War at least make the man snap for a moment and remind us that yeah he is zen and all but this is the God of War remember.
Soooo Thor looks exactly like he is described in the Norse Myths. The thing I loved about this game was the accuracy to the Prose Edda over the Poetic Edda, right down to how BROK dies
It has alot of inaccuracies
There is no real description of Thor in the myths other than that he has red hair and a red beard and "fierce" eyes. I do love this design, but it isn't any more or less accurate than any other depiction of him.
@@patrickbateman4362 he is desribed as having an enormous appetite and loving mead.
Also as the strong and powerful guardian of midgard. From the myths if one were to envision thor it would be exactly like in the game.
@@mattimeikalainen6963 not necessarily, an argument could be made that, because he's a God, he isn't bound to the limits of human biology. Remember, he's a different type of being than normal humans, so he wouldn't necessarily work the same way humans do. I'm not saying it's a bad portrayal of him, I quite like it. I'm just saying that since there is barely any real description of his appearance that there isn't really a 100% "lore accurate" way to portray him.
@@patrickbateman4362 i mean ofcourse he can look like anything.
But based on the lore, and on just viking physical standards. A ritund and burly thor is the most likely version.
Nothing is provable or official in any way.
Game was so great. Loved every minute
22 hours? Took me 38... tho I did play on 2nd hardest difficulty
"loki will go... Atreus.... -Atreus.... Remain"
:(
My coolest scenes from God of War Ragnarok is the opening of all the realms and the War of the Realms. The War of the Realms is like the Avengers Endgame of video games, everybody is against Asgard and is trying to help defeat the evil Allfather and end his decimation of the Nine Realms.
Darn I wish there was a part where he gets his blades out, it was such an iconic moment 😭
terrible Game compared to the first. Absolutely boring, full of childish story lines and fighting as anyone but kratos is just plain crap. As a super fan, im let down, this isnt god of war, its god of nothingness. Played 8 hours after purchase and have no intention torturing myself playing a game that feels like a rip off ov the real god of war . Game starts amazing then fast becomes unbearable. Im heartbroken the chose this stupid story path and ridiculously bright colours everywhere are not good. looKs like fortnites textures. 5/10.
Lol
People are saying it's the best game they've ever played or top 5 or top 10 and I'll give GOW Ragnarok a 7.8/10 and will admit this game focused more on the story than the gameplay and I've never been a fan of Atreus
Never thought there were people feeling the same as I did when I played through it. Been waiting for 4 years and never been so disappointed.. They had lots of potential from this game and ruined it.
god i just finished it and im so emotional LMFAO
Bro, I think you missed the part of skol and hati. Otherwise great video mate, well made.
Yeah I only added the main plot points in. A few bits were missed out else it would have been way over an hour long haha:)
I have no PS4 so THANK YOU for this!
The ghost of Sparta died in this game Kratos, the champion remains
The mask of time looks a lot like Loki's mask from the movie: the Mask.
Rules to leave a comment... well that fucking sucks
Great game but damn it has some very boring and cringe parts
This game was amazing every hour ive spent has been great 👍
47:33 i am not crying my eyes are sweating 😢
Ok guys this is my 1st gow game...y they kill magni nd modi nd y odin hate giants whys odin the bad guy basically and whys he in charge of everything i realise im asking stupid questions so pls go easy on me😂😂
I did the same video for the first God of War, i'd go check that out.Will answer many questions you have
I too literally thought of avengers endgame
you keep getting the races mixed up throughout your video. 35:47, sutur and sinmara (well in game she is a primordial) are the primordial giants of the first 2 realms to exist, Muspelheim & Niphilheim. they are not gods. also, there are different sets of gods Vanir ( gods of vanaheim, Freya & Freyr) and Aesir (Odin, Thor,Sif) sad we didnt see Njörðr, he is a pretty important god.
Ooooh Hildsvini is the Boar from the first game. Totally went over my head
They literally have a conversation about him being the boar Atreus shot while they're at the camp.
@@lindseyormsbee yup. Totally flew right past me
22 hours!? 😂, so u haven’t really experienced the game yet!! U need 60 hours to experience GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK PROPERLY!! 😊î
I always assumed the whole "laying the hammer and axe on the table" thing was a show of nonviolence or at least of truce between two warriors.
"My hammer is on the table, not in my hand. I'm here to talk, not to fight."
"Very well. Then I won't fight either. My axe is on the table."
It didnt occur to me that it might be a show of intimidation. Potentially both! Very interesting.
That doesn't make sense. The one who told Atreus about ironwood didn't fight in Ragnarok. He was still in Midgard. The one he found in ironwood fought in Ragnarok that's why kratos said he looked different because he was younger than when they first met.
Why are you getting soooo many things wrong! Maybe your doing it on purpose!?!..everyone knows buldor is the child of Odin and Freya!! Not Thor and sif or Thor and freya! 🤔 I'm so confused! Because you keep getting things like that wrong!!
35:45 you made some error here first Surtr is not a god , he is a Jotunn , really powerful mortal being but not gods, also Sutr does not rule Muselpheim he just lives there ,Sinmara does not live in Muselpheim , she live in Nifleheim and also is not a god and ruler
Kratos putting his axe on the table after Thor was a sign of dominance. Ot was a sign for a very temporary peace truce aka okay let's talk we don't need our weapons to talk but they're both wary and kept their weapons close. Almost like "okay let's lay it all out on the table" except in big BAMF man language
So maybe someone can answer this for me why if kratos doesnt want ragnarok why does he go against odin and rescue tyr. Isnt ragnarok a war against the realms and asgard?
first because Mimir recommended it to him to spend time with his son while he still can, and that is what Atreus wanted when he found out that he was still alive thanks to the murals locked in Asgard, second because he does not trust Odin, the peace treaty that suggests to him at the beginning is something that Kratos would have rarely accepted due to different motives, including Mimir and his own experience, thirdly because "according to Atreus" he only wanted him to tell him things, to know if he had answers to what he wanted to know how. Who is Loki or what happened to the giants, from "History" according to him, and that Ragnarok is an event that ends Asgard and the other kingdoms is only in mythology, in this Santa Monica version of mythology Nordica clarifies that only Asgard will fall, I mean in the first game everyone believed that all the kingdoms would die because Groa said so, but in the end it was just a lie that Groa invented to deceive Odin before he killed her, in reality it was only Asgard would fall.
Pretty sure this does a hell of a lot better than marvel at depicting a more “lore accurate” version of thor. He’s supposed to be a red head and pot belly look is more accurate for Thor’s strength than marvel who go for best looks.
There were 2 other symbols on that shrine in the first game. It had a total of 4 each being the symbol of war from their respective lands. One of them was the eye of Ra which makes me really really want a series to take place in egypt. They dont even need kratos, atreus could make the journey or hell we could go around kicking butt as freya
I finished the game yesterday, and now my soul has a Ragnarok sized thing that gets bigger the more you take away.
I did find the battle of Asgard a bit underwhelming. It was built up so much over the two games and felt like a backdrop. Other than that, the game was utterly amazing!
I like your take on the story, but you have to know a few things about Kratos. He said that he does not belive in fate, but he also said that he will take no chances with Atreus' life, that is why he has been training him for whole Fimbuldwinter. He also knows that fate is a tricky thing so he took no chances with Heimdall, Atreus asked him why he made the spear if he does not belive in the Norns. The main point of the game is Kratos trying to protect his son from Ragnarok since he fears of losing him, but also becouse he does not want to be a god killer again. He accepted Atreus' search for Tyr as long as it did not escalate into war with Asgard. And when he was in his tent before Ragnarok, he had another sleep about Faye and she told him to open his heart to the people, and since he did that he became a god worthy of worship, like in the shrine. And Faye did not save the day, fate can be averted, she made the back of the last shrine since she knew Kratos better than anyone, but she destroyed the end of the first one becouse she knew those things would not happen, but she did not want prophecy to change their actions, so she kinda saved the day, but not in your way.What i mean to say is that by changing like Faye told him, Kratos' actions were drastically different from what the Norns expected,and the Norns said that fate is the sum of your choices, so he survived Ragnarok. And if you did not understand why he was preparing Atreus, it is becouse he feared that Atreus would have to live without him.
I'm surprised how well Halo music fits GoW
I know right!!
