Not only that it's ridiculously powerful as fuck, but the fact it can be used in the basic game in ng+ after finishing Valhalla makes this 10 times better.
Helios, the Blade of Olympus, and so much old references to the early games of the God of War franchise? Best DLC ever! *You have regained the Blade of Olympus, let the rage of Sparta fuel your blade, Kratos.*
If this DLC was a test run to see if Santa Monica can remake the original trilogy with their next gen engine and technology, then my god did they pass with flying colors.
@@psmgames5861 Not only that, but I think Sigrun’s wings burning are a reference to Icarus not just from one the last games but in the original myth too.
@@IrascibleTankthat is a fucking excellent parallel I hadn't considered. Sigurn is "not supposed to be here" ERGO too close to something she is not supposed to be next to. Fucking awesome.

6:10 this feels like 2007 came back once again when the blade is with you, along with the soundtrack like its god of war 1 from 2005. Brings back so many memories. They did a hell of a job with this DLC🔥
I was legit freaking out when Mimir was in the cage. But what hit me most was Kratos' reaction - he didn't treat it like an annoyance, he was immediately worried for Mimir's safety and tore the cage open to save him. Such a great scene.
Scene was pretty intense. Frantic Mimir had me worried and Kratos trying to save him was something else. Blade of Olympus was interesting but it played kinda boring.
The fact that Kratos worried about Mimir more than his wrath towards the god of olympus he hates the most, shows us how much Kratos has change, even when Helios talk shit to him, he remains calm and all cool.. i love the character development of this game..
I CANT PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT IT ITS A MASZERPIECE I LOVE THIS BLADE damn stop liking fr atleast I get more than these fatherless children begging for likes pointing that finger down on the like button Lmaoo
@@hallowedgrimm5954can you tell me how to do it please? I've opened my new game plus save, and I've started a new one as well, but I didn't find the option in the Spartan Rage section
6:17 the moment the blade of Olympus showed up i was screaming my inner geek came out I played the remastered god of war 3 so it was awesome to see the blade again
when the blade of olympus first appeared in kratos’s hands when i was playing this last night, my jaw dropped and i absolutely reached a new level of climax. all this dlc has proven to me is that sony santa monica are absolute legendary mad lads.
I really would've loved for this game to have given us fights with a Greek God, but I understand the amount of work it would've taken to adjust the mechanics, and the developers already gave us sweet stuff for free.
THIS IS A FREE DLC BTW.. also i just noticed that in the past(the gow 1 remake and base ragnarok) rage of sparta, the colors are a bit lighter, kinda like orange-ish, but when he wields the blade, the rage is suddenly dark red colors, deep hue kinda crazy, literally iykyk moment
For me kratos is fully changed before he used to when he said "hello". Dude used to be the most violent warrior and unexisted the whole pantheon and now he said hello?
I have a really good feeling that this teases a God Of War remake. Classic God of War's Greek world designs will definitely blow us away with the current gen graphics
I can’t remember if it was in GOW 2018 or Ragnarok, where Kratos says that he tried summoning his old weapons before but couldn’t. I wonder if he can now do so with having overcome the burden and guilt he felt for his past
Me seeing a young kratos skin with blade of Olympus and having this incredible image in my head: kratos: by the power of greyskull I HAVE THE POOOWWWEEEERRR!!!!!!
God of War 1 was the very first video game I ever played, playing through that corridor and using the MF Blade of Olympus again brought my inner child back 🥲 Thank you Santa Monica for this gift
I have a theory how the Norse and Greek worlds are connected through Valhalla since when they were falling into the spiraling red abyss it was probably a mix between the Greek and Norse worlds.
Cory barlog did not want to remake them, he wanted to start a new saga, so sadly the only possibility of seeing gow og again is through remasters by another company with Santa Monica as the producers
8:26 Was that a wormhole to “HELL” like the real “HELL.” It would have been interesting to see Lucifer Morningstar put Kratos to the test if his search for “redemption.” Or better yet Kratos teaming up with Dante and Vergil. 😅
@@RedDestruction540 so he doesn't ACTUALLY have it back, does he? like how everything there is somewhat of an illusion crafted from his memories, does the same apply to the blade of olympus?
@@yesno1721 I think the PHYSICAL Blade of Olympus is long gone, this is one crafted from his memories and his rage, thus explaining how we can use it after beating Valhalla. If that makes any sense lol
i swear to god if this is all just a tech demo for GoW1 remake they released as free DLC for us to test and gather feed back on, then i will fcking be fcking amazed and so god damn happy. needs to happen, please god.
This implies that throughout his Journey with Atreus, he has never used his God Powers at all, thats why he was able to summon the Blade after all this time, i believe he still haven't used his God powers yet
That's because he is in a different mythology he just doesn't have the right type of magic because the magic in Norse mythology is way different than the one in Greece that's why he couldn't use his own greek anymore because they depend on magical energies in the form of blue orbs in order for them to use them and since the norse games doesn't have that so that means he would still have that ability to use any other magics that the Greek gods gave him he just don't have the magical energy in order to use it because the norse games doesn't have that type of magical energies in order to use his other abilities blessed to him
Blade of Olympus: You can not live with your own failure, so where did that lead you? Back to me.
That makes a lot of sense considering that kratos couldn't live with what he had done in his past

He actually humored Helios. Kratos really has gone a long way.
When Kratos and Mimir were falling, it mirrored Kratos fall to Tartarus next to the chain and everything. Damn this game is sick.
Damn, they even added the same move set from GOWIII Blade of Olympus. This DLC is surely a love letter to fans a true gift by Devo and Studio.
As someone that’s been playing this series since I was a kid I literally jumped out of my seat when Kratos got the blade of Olympus
Must've been nice! Gotta say though, I am a little bit jealous from all the people who got to play the first games and are experiencing GOW Ragnarok now

Whats scary is you can tell its Mimir by the time you reach the room because of the way Helio is talking...
Imagine if kratos now has both Mimir and Helios on his belt both bickering.
