    When you meet the Kelpie, Mimir says "You don't see many of those in these parts" and "In my land, they'd keep children away from the Lochs by telling them a Kelpie would drown them." - implying both Mimir and the Kelpie came from Scotland, something you could already guess from Mimir's accent in the game too

      There are a lot of references to Celtic mythology and the British Islands in the Nordic saga, which makes me think they could be the setting for the next game. It would make sense, since Atreus is looking for more giants, and the Jotnar of Norse mythology have a lot of similarities with the Fomorians of Celtic myths. Not to mention, both territories are pretty close to each other.

    One thing to bear in mind about GoW:R is that Kratos' presence and actions upset the Ragnarok prophecies and disrupted/changed their fulfillments and outcomes. Near the end of the previous GoW game, Mimir pointed this out to Kratos: "you've _changed_ things."

      Nah, see that's the worst part about the sloppy writing of the entire GoW series
      The only reason Kratos isn't a stain on the ground is because the ability to kill gods was also in Pandora's box and he gained that ability
      Problem is *that's only for the Greek gods*, by no stretch of the imagination should that carry over to other mythologies of any kind making his entire existence outside the Greek mythology pointless and only there for money grabbing because Sony needs a gravy train as they no longer have any actual first party IPs that anyone cares about

      Conversely he gains the ability to kill Gods because in the 2018 game, his axe gets Eitr imbued by Jormungandr which is how he is able to kill Gods.

      In mythology, Norse gods aren't immortal, they can die from any cause - natural or otherwise. Thor is still wounded as there's been no indication that Norse gods can heal at will, unlike the Greek (immortal) pantheon.
      Note: the plot kind of links to this with Odin wanting the same protection spell as Baldur to prevent wounding/death.

So this actually makes sense here now, as she seems to be trying to reveal something, like dispelling an illusion, as opposed to opening something. Also, the second part is her closing a portal they call realm tears, which is what cuts off the head, so in that context it makes a bit more sense even if it is an elementary, literal use of the words.

    Couple notes:
    - Loki learns to control the shapeshifting.
    - The game doesn't really, truly differentiate between ravens and crows - neither do some old myths, to be fair - but what's depicted in the game is something I'd call NotRavens more than anything. They're raven-sized, crow shaped, crow sounding, but move like hawks.
    - Thor doesn't fly in the game, no more than Hulk typically does; you picked it up that they were going for powerful jumping.
    - A general note about the type of poetic license taken by the game: 'son' and 'daughter' are taken as, at different times, created, revived, cared for, et al.
    - Mimir and the Kelpie are both foreigners to The Nine in the canon of the game - it's heavily implied that the various pantheons have entirely separate bubbles, containing worlds and realms which can be travelled between but not in a typical method of land, sea, or air.
    - The fate speaking as others do isn't speaking 'the future' she's speaking 'the path one is on,' she's being used as a proof of possibility being accounted for, which seems in line with her more historical interpretations.
    I really hope they do get a linguist on the team going forward though, especially with the implications of the ending, the artefacts you find in game, and a few other sprinkled bits.

(It literally translates into "up and jump" but is used as a more of a "go and get them" or "get out of bed, you lazy bum" kind of thing.)

    12.07: Opinbera kinda sounds like "åbenbare/åpenbare" in Danish/Norwegian (Bokmål), which means to make evident or to make smth appear, or like "åbenbaring/åpenbaring" which means revelation or epiphany.

    What Freya said kinda makes sense as a mistake of language. In swedish ”riva” could translate to scratch in some context but most common would be tear, as in tear something apart. Just happens they call these portals ”tears” so that would explain the confusion.

    One point for context with the "Laesa rifa"/Nidhogg part....that was a cutscene after the player (Kratos) defeated the Nidhogg... it was trying escape through a portal/rift between realms that Freya closed around its neck, severing its head in the process... so very loosely interpreted she "locked" the portal, severing (i.e. "ripping") its head from its body.

    One thing I love about mythology in fiction like this, things are left very open ended, or not even discussed at all in a lot of mythology, which opens the door for series like God of War and others to take creative liberties in certain areas to tell a more compelling story, while keeping the overall "message" of the mythology and its characters at least semi accurate.

    Mimir, in-game, is Celtic. Both Kratos and Freya had no Idea what the Kelpie was, until Mimir told them. He also says you don't really see them in these parts, meaning Midgard. Tells them kids are kept away from Lochs, back home, by stories of Kelpies drowning them. The part about Runes syntax, remember they are not for Linguists who might not be huge gamers... They are for gamers who might not know syntax of old Norse. Little easter eggs for them to translate. Huginn and Muninn make croaks when sitting, plus they are shaped like ravens compared to crows. Slight curved beak, curved wings, and wedged tails.

    For anyone interested, Jackson Crawford said something wrong at 11:03. Norns are said weaving in some poems, they are deciding the destiny that is described a lot with threads. Also, every life seems to be related to a thread, and the Valkyries (that are in fact really related to norns) are weaving the dead threads before choosing the dead men to bring back to Valhöll or Folkvangr. So I don't know why he is saying that ? For a specialist this seems to be quite a mistake

      Thrud is not an active character in the mythology. The only story involving her by name is when she wants to marry a dwarf and her father, Thor isn't too happy about that nonsense, and keeps talking with the guy throughout the night, asking him questions upon questions, until the sun comes up and the dwarf turns to stone. Problem solved.
      There is no description of Thrud, and the way she looks in the game my bet is on some self-insert from the company that made the game. She does not come after Sif at all.
