I was so proud of Kratos in this moment. He do such a nice thing for Brok, when once he would've just taken the weapon as it was, he pushed Brok's own lesson onto him to help him realise his true worth. Kratos made me so happy in this game. He earned his redemption.
@@flochforster22 i think so too, i mean, it's like Gaia said, the only Titan that did Zeus wrong was his father Kronos and yet Zeus decided to punish ALL Titans, including Gaia who literally raised him on het back... even without the corruption from the box he's already a massive dick
@@marxist-leninist-protagonist Remember, the evils from Pandora's Box only AMPLIFIED what the gods already have. Pre-Fear Zeus is still an evil mf. He's just as paranoid regarding prophecies as Odin is. Remember that he ordered Athena and Ares to kidnap Deimos?
It’s not even just that he uses Brock’s words to reaffirm the blessing. Kratos destroyed a pantheon. He is the epitome of destruction and death. The ultimate warrior. Despite Brock not being whole, Kratos, the God of War from a more powerful pantheon of Gods, asked his brother to bless the weapon he would wield into battle and into ragnarok. Beautiful moment
learning afterwards that because Sindri brought him back the first time he died, his soul was broken and he was denied an afterlife and completely ceases to exist broke my fucking heart.
Knowing just how much guilt Sindri carries knowing what he's done to his brother. And that he'll never be able to see him in the after life. It really is tragic.
Proof of Kratos best signs of character growth. Even the Kratos in gow 4 would have ignored Broks issue. Not only does he support him he lifts him up with the highest of praise.
Kratos gave the exact reason why I like Brok so much, "He speaks plain" Even if he was a bit crude. Then Kratos respecting him was just the icing on the cake. One of my favorite moments.
i love the creation of the spear but i was more impressed on how i get to use it., the devs really did a good job showing how to use the spear and combining the wind, ring and spear into the draupnir really brings it all together
When you think about it, the Spear is the first weapon that truly belongs to Kratos. The blades were forcefully put on him by Ares while the axe originally belonged to his wife Faye. This is the first time a weapon was made for him and using his own blood as a special ingredient for the forging.
Yeah I really liked that part of the scene because it shows when he gave his blood that first it was the symbol of God of War but then the Lady changes it into the Spartan icon, the upward pointing arrow. She's like yeah the Omega, the God symbol, is WHAT you are, but it isn't WHO you are, WHO you are is a Spartan.@@mugsmcratmin6842
you can truly see here how kratos admired brok not only in his craftsmanship but as a friend the once proud spartan kneels to a friend oh how far our boy has come
Another reason Broks Motif is so important is because it’s a reflection of Kratos as well. “The nature of a thing is more important than the form of a thing” describes how even though Kratos is the God of War and supposed to be a God-killing monster in form, it is not his nature to be such, as he has changed. Great writing!
I hope that Kratos gives the Draupnir spear/ring back to Sindri after the events of the game. Maybe having Brok's last masterpiece in his hands will give him a measure of peace and healing.
So perfectly succinct as well. It feels like a perfect encapsulation of everything Kratos could want in the weapon. It needs to be effective, used in a way that is wise and good, and the end goal is to eventually put the weapon DOWN and enjoy the peace.
Honestly all I could was smile like a dork in this scene seeing kratos still ask for broks blessing after he just had a huge revelation and still reminding him what the blessing would mean to kratos was just cool and wholesome
This game showed how much Kratos became human. He treats everyone around him as his family and loves everyone despite still being a hard headed man still
Everyone except “Special Edd” had the worst reactions. Come on, this is a great scene! And with the call back Kratos did right back to Brok made me shout “YES!” when I first saw this. Show some emotion people, I BEG
I don’t know who the people are, the video says that “Hollow” is “Special Edd” in the RUclips chapters in the video. I meant him. Thank you for the notice 😅
it was actually quite underwhelming as far as the forging goes. when one compares it to Kratos retrieving his blades of chaos in GOW 2018, that scene had far more emotional and narrative weight behind it
I love that playing a second time, you can see how the idea of the spear came to be from the dwarves. How Brok's genius instantly came up with a weapon that could overwhelm Heimdall's senses by using the duplicating magic of the ring. The Draupnir Spear was the perfect magnum opus for Brok as his final weapon.
It’s heartwarming that no Man, God or Titan could get Kratos, The Ghost of Sparta, Bane of Olympus, The God of War to Kneel Yet he kneels to a dwarf who the Aesir treat little better then slaves…
It crazy how much I love Brok, dude is like the Picasso of blacksmith and he upgrade our weapons for free and care/treated you like family. Well he charge us for some stuff but he was already rich.
The Blades of Chaos were created to bind Kratos to serve Ares, The Leviathan Axe was passed on to Kratos by Faye, The Draupnir Spear was blessed by Brok to protect Kratos’ son
i'd probably read one of the comments in other vid that the reason Why Kratos respects Brok is because Spartans really into that.. they have a huge respect in them blacksmiths
There was once a saying among the Spartans: how far are spartas borders the Spartan replies as far as my spear can reach, where are your walls the Spartan replies my shield are her walls.
The most depressing thing about broks state is when he dies again, he stops existing altogether cause of sindri bringing him back. A fate worse than death
Does anyone else find a kind of strange how ultimately death is a factor across every realm for every creature, but it works differently for each place? Like Kratos died in the first gif of war in Greece, but he managed to climb out of Hades back to the mortal world with no effect, but in the Norse realm, you can lose pieces of your soul since it made of four Separate parts, so does that mean of Kratos now his soul will be divided, since he’s in a different realm?
I’m almost certain that in a future game Sindri will come to us after he finds a way to retrieve the 4th part of Brock’s soul and demand we help him. Which we will of course help him with. Sindri may want to do some underhanded things to get it done and we help guide him down the right path. Then we will try to find his lost spirit and make his spirit whole again. Then Sindri and everyone can say final goodbyes, come to peace with his death, and eventually be able to see him in the afterlife. Sindri and Kratos/Atreus’ relationship will never be the same but maybe that journey could mend it a little. Not sure if this would be a major side quest or main story but they are definitely going to do it.
Sadly this is the final gow game in the Norse mythology so the chances of Brok being brought back or even being able to cross to the afterlife is likely none.
I think one of these for when Kratos is tired should be done too, its my favorite scene in the whole game. Just before it goes back to atreaus punching the wall if it hasnt been done already.
MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD The musical theme that plays, when Brok blesses the spear... Is the same melody that leads the theme of his funeral. Beautiful musical design.
The writing, the character development, the continuaty of themes and spoken dialogue (form/nature of a thing in this example) and the performance from the actors not just in this scene but in the entire game and GOW4 is something special. Santa Monica studios need ALL the funding for these kimd of titles. After watching Raising Kratos i would have been so interested to see what they had in store for theor original IP title that got scrapped to focus on GOW4. I really want them to continue with the GOW franchise and explore other mythologys but I'd love if they had the funding, people power and expertise to create some more triple AAA original works.
I hope that the next game doesn't have draupnir in it, for Brok. As he said, may it be put down when its job is done, Heimdalls dead and Ragnorok over.
I’m kind of confused though because Kratos gave his soul to Ares and he even killed himself at one point so how was he able to get the spear in the first place?
No god, titan nor man could get Kratos to kneel, yet he kneeled to a dwarf who had not only earned his respect but his friendship.
Late but great comment 🔥
Obviously, since the dwarf is smaller than him.
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM that ain't the reason he kneeled. If that was the case, he's kneel every time he talks to them.
@@ClownActual Take a joke, will ya?
Wait until they relise who kratos bowed to so his enemies could be destroyed.
I was so proud of Kratos in this moment.
He do such a nice thing for Brok, when once he would've just taken the weapon as it was, he pushed Brok's own lesson onto him to help him realise his true worth.
Kratos made me so happy in this game. He earned his redemption.
Even Zeus and Callisto would be proud of their son changing for the best.
@@michaelterrell2108 Huh. I wonder if pre-Fear Zeus actually had any capacity of changing like that. He already was kind of a jerk before
@@marxist-leninist-protagonist It is the nature of a thing that matters, not it's form. I bet Zeus' nature always was that of a right prick
@@flochforster22 i think so too, i mean, it's like Gaia said, the only Titan that did Zeus wrong was his father Kronos and yet Zeus decided to punish ALL Titans, including Gaia who literally raised him on het back... even without the corruption from the box he's already a massive dick

"It is the nature of a thing that matters, not it's form". That hit deep. Damn... R.I.P. Brok
He will always be remembered in our hearts and as long as kratos Carrie's the spear drepnir brok will always be there
It’s always so refreshing when a game can make me emotional and cry like a bitch.
Those kinds of games are always the best. Few, but very well done when done right
Same
It’s a cathartic feeling to just cry because something is so well made
It’s not even just that he uses Brock’s words to reaffirm the blessing. Kratos destroyed a pantheon. He is the epitome of destruction and death. The ultimate warrior. Despite Brock not being whole, Kratos, the God of War from a more powerful pantheon of Gods, asked his brother to bless the weapon he would wield into battle and into ragnarok. Beautiful moment
Kratos never compliments people. But when he does, the compliment holds so much weight and value.
learning afterwards that because Sindri brought him back the first time he died, his soul was broken and he was denied an afterlife and completely ceases to exist broke my fucking heart.
Knowing just how much guilt Sindri carries knowing what he's done to his brother. And that he'll never be able to see him in the after life.
It really is tragic.
Brock was destined for Helheim anyway since only warriors have the good afterlife. It's more of a way out for him.
Proof of Kratos best signs of character growth. Even the Kratos in gow 4 would have ignored Broks issue. Not only does he support him he lifts him up with the highest of praise.

@Ulfberht plus it ties into his cultural heritage that he's actually proud of: its the weapon of a spartan

"May it be put down when its job is done"
Brok was put down when his job was done. This open writing SMS did is perfect.
I hope that Kratos gives the Draupnir spear/ring back to Sindri after the events of the game. Maybe having Brok's last masterpiece in his hands will give him a measure of peace and healing.
But would Sindri accept it?
2:23 That's exactly how I was feeling when this scene came. Hands down, this is the best scene for me in the whole game.
This Is how i blessed the Thanksgiving dinner, family wasn't happy about the spitting part
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣
For me this shows the respect Kratos has for his new friends, its probably the best moment in the game for me. The music was incredible too
The way they look at each other when he blessed it, nothing but fucking respect between these 2
The only person Kratos knelt before beside his kids and wife
And Aries, way way back.
@@hagamapama that is brainless kratos
@@hagamapama even kratos said to ares..im not the same man you found that day
Once Brok blessed the Spear I knew he wasn't going to make it to the end of the game 😭
Best thing is two grumpy men of few words respecting and understanding each other.
The words Brok uses for the blessing are honestly such good lines for a weapon of war.
So perfectly succinct as well. It feels like a perfect encapsulation of everything Kratos could want in the weapon. It needs to be effective, used in a way that is wise and good, and the end goal is to eventually put the weapon DOWN and enjoy the peace.

it was actually quite underwhelming as far as the forging goes. when one compares it to Kratos retrieving his blades of chaos in GOW 2018, that scene had far more emotional and narrative weight behind it
@@cooljool1 I wonder why. Its not like those blades have a dark past and weren't freshly crafted up right there.
Thats cause they're all guys showing off in front of a camera
Rip to the best side character ever
I love that playing a second time, you can see how the idea of the spear came to be from the dwarves. How Brok's genius instantly came up with a weapon that could overwhelm Heimdall's senses by using the duplicating magic of the ring. The Draupnir Spear was the perfect magnum opus for Brok as his final weapon.
this was the best part of the game
kind of seems like half the streamers didn't even pick up that Kratos was using Brok's own line against him
Kratos kneeled to Aries out of fear
Kratos kneeled to Brok out of respect
‘ A hole ‘
Damn that background music hits harrdddd
What?
@@codysonic1"gets bigger the more you take away"
@ And then the credits roll. Ouch…poor Sindri.
Thank you, this is a beautiful moment
4:21 Critikal already has the tissues ready to go
I honestly teared up. Kratos is loyal to his blacksmith friends
This Kratos' way of cheering up ol'Brok. May you rest in peace and please scold Sindri for what he's doing right now.
Brok was the first we met and he grew on us. Truly a great blacksmith.
This is my favorite scene of the entire game, truly beautiful and it shows that Kratos does care.
Both GOW 2018 and Ragnarok have an emotional scene with a new weapon to use for the rest of the game.
It’s heartwarming that no Man, God or Titan could get Kratos, The Ghost of Sparta, Bane of Olympus, The God of War to Kneel Yet he kneels to a dwarf who the Aesir treat little better then slaves…
What a wholesome moment. ♥
This scene hits you right in the feels a little bit, fraking Awesome
Remember that Brok and Sindri spent countless years trying to get into the gods' good graces
And their last weapon sees a god kneel to Brok
First time seeing this scene I was like: Kratos.... you silver tongued, golden liped bastard....
Krato’s character development and growth is such an outstanding thing to watch.
It crazy how much I love Brok, dude is like the Picasso of blacksmith and he upgrade our weapons for free and care/treated you like family. Well he charge us for some stuff but he was already rich.
The Blades of Chaos were created to bind Kratos to serve Ares, The Leviathan Axe was passed on to Kratos by Faye, The Draupnir Spear was blessed by Brok to protect Kratos’ son
I refused to use anything but Draupnir to battle Odin. For Brok.
i'd probably read one of the comments in other vid that the reason Why Kratos respects Brok is because Spartans really into that.. they have a huge respect in them blacksmiths
Love how GoldGlove is only one reacting to Brok spitting on Kratos' new spear.
You can see the damage to broks face that claimed his life. When he begins the blessing look at his face from nose to the forehead
There was once a saying among the Spartans: how far are spartas borders the Spartan replies as far as my spear can reach, where are your walls the Spartan replies my shield are her walls.
*Special Edd* Kratos' armor design matches perfectly with the spear's.
He was actually talking about himself especially after finding out he was revived once.
I should've saved a video clip of this moment. I hate that it slipped my mind.
Before losing him, he showed how much Brok meant to him. Good job Kratos
Not only do I use the spear because it’s my favourite weapon, but I use to remember Brok. I will have this weapon strike true.
This game is a masterpiece. Great moments
X: "Girl loses her mom, parents, emotionally I sleep. This guy spits on a blade, I cry"
To see kratos kneel before Brok and present his weapon to be blessed just goes to show how much growth kratos has gained
RIP brok…. The dwarf who made kratos kneel willingly
Dude...that moment was FUCKING AWESOME.
imagine the guy burn down olympus kneel you for bleesing
The most depressing thing about broks state is when he dies again, he stops existing altogether cause of sindri bringing him back. A fate worse than death
It’s EddieVR! Hell yeah, dude!

In my opinion Brok blessing the spear made it my favorite weapon behind the blades for me

Six spears blessed. An infinite amount to go.
Of all the best blacksmith characters in video games, Brokk is the best to make something special for you

The mighty God of war kneel before a black smile😢😢
