Kratos vs Midas: "Lemme just beat this senile old man senseless and throw him, alive, into searing magma." Kratos in Ragnarok: "My guilty conscience eats away at me, there was someone I treated cruelly...The boat captain."
To be fair, King Midas was kind of asking to be killed and was probably thankful for Kratos for what he did The boat captain on the other hand, was treated cruelly. He thought Kratos was gonna save him, only for Kratos to take the key to his quarters, kick him down the Hydra's throat, and then kicked him off and down into the depths of the Underworld the first time Kratos was killed
@@drakeware655 King Midas was absolutely treated cruelly , Kratos had beaten the crap out of a senile and broken old man just to make a glorified ladder
Some fun facts about Midas: who granted the wish of turning everything into gold was Dionysus, the god of wine and parties, not Silenus. Anything that touched Midas's body turned into gold, not just his hands, that means his clothes turned into gold, so, yeah, Midas was butt naked all the time. Also, when Midas touched the lava, it should turn into liquid gold, since that's what happened when Midas tried to drink water. To remove his curse, Midas had to wash his body in the Pactolous river, not the river Styx, to undo his curse, and turn his daughter into a human again, since she was turned into a gold statue. But that wasn't the end of the line for Midas, because he had his ears turned into donkey ears by Apollo, god of medicine and music (besides sometimes being depicted as a sun god instead of Helios), because Midas thought that a satyr played the lyre better than Apollo.
Didn't he then go around with a hat on all the time except when he went to get his hair cut meaning that the only one who knew besides him and the gods was said barber who then accidentally created a plant that spilled the beans after yelling into a hole in the ground?
@@joynelbonet194 no. In Greek mythology, Hermes is the messenger of the gods and the protector of travellers. He also was responsible to bringing the souls of the dead to the shores of the river Styx, so that Charon could ferry them across.
I wonder if after Kratos left Greece, some lucky miners found King Midas, broke his golden corpse down as well as the river of gold if they can, and then got rich from it by thinking it was just an statue of some forgotten old king.
That’s kind of interesting and disturbing but then again minus kinda ask for the ability to turn things to gold with everything he touch he should’ve been more smarter than that
Fun fact: the original story to Midas was that EVERTHING he touched was gold and the touch wasn’t specific to his hands, ever part of his body would turn things to gold. So kratos would’ve been dead in this situation.
@@lucaslourenco1233 that’s true but Madusa is also slightly different in gow than in mythos. But tbf most of the deities are different than the mythology.
"No you don't understand, Kratos only killed people if they got in his way. If you just stayed out of his way then he wouldn't kill you. So it was their own fault Kratos killed them" *me watching midas being burned alive in lava after getting savagely beaten and trying to avoid Kratos after doing absolutely nothing to him* ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
Also în gow there was a soldier trapped în a cage and kratos used his body as a sacrifice to exit the chamber, he even smile before he killed him. But în later versions he was replaced with a generic monster. Also în gow 2 where he killed the two servant of the fates.

@@BlackangelKatakuri It would've been repetitive and boring if the series stayed the same, lmao.

I felt like the entire situation with Midas could probably solve by a simple metal glove. Like even if the glove is gold, it never shown that it could pass through the gold, so why not just use that a bypass.
It's actually really difficult to make a full metal glove that's articulated on the inside of the hand. If you look at historical gloves, the inside of the hand was pretty much always made of some sort of soft fabric to allow complex movement of the hand.
@@justiniani.4501With Midas being able to make anything gold, the material issue does not exist as the money one. It would only take time to build one.
We've seen a lot of feats of strength made by Kratos so, the fact Midas is resisting him only by holding to random rocks says a lot about how strong is the old king O_o...
It was nice how the developers included individuals from Greek history into the God of War games, as added details for the series. The tale of King Midas: king of Phrygia who gained the power to turn anything he touched into gold, gifted to him by Dionysus after helping the satyr Silenus. But the king would soon be driven mad as anything that touched his body would turn to gold and pleaded with Dionysus to take away his gift. So in order to remove his “curse” Midas would have to bath in the Pactolus river and in doing so would remove the gift he received from Dionysus but would then be given mules’ ears after angering Apollo.
Nope, this is still brutal. He still suffered and because he can't physically die king Midas might actually be trapped in gold while still alive. So really Kratos is still being brutal.
@@elknothin3403 Is it though? This version of Midas was living a pretty horrible existence even compared to the real story, so honestly I feel like this was a mercy even if it was still brutal. I mean the guy was so far gone he thought lava was water.
Fun fact about king Midas it's believed that he never had a daughter and that the curse effected every part of his body not just his hands so the moment something touched his body it was turned to gold which lead to his involuntary hunger strike he later removed the curse by bathing in a river with the help of Dionysus who originally blessed him with the curse in the first place

Wow I just discovered King Midas is the son of Zeus, which means Kratos was beating and stomping and threw his own brother into the lava,man he's cold blooded and the best 🙂↔️
This part was a little sad, but still cool. I think it could be looked at as a mercy killing, but Lord Kratos probably just looked at King Midas at "being in the way."
This Kratos from this game absolutely would've beaten Heimdal no diff with a regular spear, and the only reason he needed a dropnir in the newest because he became a weak soyboi cuck instead of the badass sigma male he is in this game@@yahtoray3.
The point of Drapnir: Here Your Head: Here The Point of Drapnir wasn’t meant to just be throwing it ceaselessly, but to play on Heimdall’s careless and impulsive evasive tendencies as he puts the bare minimum in the effort of avoiding attacks.
Hermes is more powerful than Heimdal, yet Kratos didn't need a spear to defeat, so even in your comment still has shitty writing towards it@@Ars-Nova258
King Midas, he once saved a satyr and in return, he was granted the ability to turn things into gold with a single touch, but he soon saw his powers as a curse, because he was no longer able to feed himself as all the food he came into physical contact with turned into inedible gold, and then, when his daughter came to hug him, he accidentally turned her into gold as well, he ultimately learned to use running water to reverse the effects of his golden touch, but he never really lost it in other versions, Midas had been the lover of Demeter for some time and fathered a demigod son named Lityerses with her, Lityerses liked to challenge people to feasts and then murder them in sword fighting combat
5:56 in fact, this chest leads to an achievement, and for it you need to hold this chest for a minute, if I’m not confused, somewhere in this radius, and of course it’s simply impossible to open it)
Looks to me like he didn't die, he was just encased in the lava, which turned to gold since he was touching it. So yeah, he's probably just stuck there for eternity.
Technically speaking, Kratos is one touch away from being dead. If I wanted to kill a resisting Midas, I'd remove his hands first before going any closer.
I know they lacked the tech or the concept. But would Midas be safe to at least grab things if he put on a metal gauntlet. I mean sure it'd be gold, and heavy, but still. I think he'd be safe to like... grab an apple or something.
Alot of the time I don’t even understand why Kratos is hunting down and brutally murdering all these people from mythology (many of whom were cursed or betrayed by the gods themselves, which you’d think he would be sympathetic towards) and I really don’t think Kratos even knows either.
He wasn't hunting Midas down, he just needed him to get across the lava, still messed up though. Every once in a while he does feel bad, he killed Prometheus in GoW 2 since he was cursed to be killed and brought back to life forever. Him being put there by Zeus reminded him of what Zeus was doing to Kratos.
The Best worst kratos cud have choose to do is *request or make the Man Already suffering in eternal torment/curse to help & just touch the lava once...* But no, he had to go with the WORST, MOST BRUTALLY INHUMANE THING : Just beat him to Pulp and throw his body in Searing hot Lava ! 😮💨 **"Kratos REALLY DESERVED To had his Wife DIED & tormented by visions of his own crimes for the rest of his Life"** 😅
Before killing King Midas I would force him to make everything gold he touch to make myself rich, I am aware how dangerous it can be just don’t let him touch any person.
Personally in my opinion, here’s what King Midas should have done: have an on and off ability for his gold touch. Like a ring. Whenever he has that ring is on, it’ll turn to gold. When it is off, nothing will happen. And have something to counter the gold touch like a bracelet to revert gold back to its normal status. But, like I said, that’s just my opinion.🤷🏽♂️
What wonders me here is how could Kratos pick up Midas and carry him on his shoulder ?!? Everything Midas touches turns into Gold. not just everything he touches with his hands it’s his whole body. So why didn’t Kratos dragged Midas with his chain blades and then again those would’ve turned into Gold too
GoW bent the rules. It used the "modern" version of the story, where Midas' curse was only things he touched with his hands. I wanna know why he didnt turn the entire ground to gold, though. Weird that he just left golden handprints
Even if that was an "act of mercy" from Kratos, that's just cruel. We know for a fact burning alive is the worst death possible, why not just kill him with Kratos' weapons ?
seems like a chill guy, hope he is not that guy I heard about that kills gods and shit and when he’s done he just trascends dimension to target a whole different mythology 😊💕

This Kratos from this game absolutely would've beaten Heimdal no diff with a regular spear, and the only reason he needed a dropnir in the newest because he became a weak soyboi cuck instead of the badass sigma male he is in this game@@yahtoray3.
The point of Drapnir: Here
Your Head: Here
The Point of Drapnir wasn’t meant to just be throwing it ceaselessly, but to play on Heimdall’s careless and impulsive evasive tendencies as he puts the bare minimum in the effort of avoiding attacks.
Hermes is more powerful than Heimdal, yet Kratos didn't need a spear to defeat, so even in your comment still has shitty writing towards it@@Ars-Nova258
King Midas, he once saved a satyr and in return, he was granted the ability to turn things into gold with a single touch, but he soon saw his powers as a curse, because he was no longer able to feed himself as all the food he came into physical contact with turned into inedible gold, and then, when his daughter came to hug him, he accidentally turned her into gold as well, he ultimately learned to use running water to reverse the effects of his golden touch, but he never really lost it
in other versions, Midas had been the lover of Demeter for some time and fathered a demigod son named Lityerses with her, Lityerses liked to challenge people to feasts and then murder them in sword fighting combat
Is that the draupnier?!
Inspire from
Wow kratos's spear dropnier is just a upgraded version of the spear he had back in this game.
Kratos will kill you for betraying him…..also for inconveniencing him….or choosing to not be useful to him in a particular moment
Or in this case killing you because your death would be convenient to his ends
Except it was Dionysus who granted him his power because king Midas saved one of his satyrs after he fell asleep drunk in Midas' garden.
The worst thing that can happen to you is to have a giant circle button icon hovering over you while Kratos is nearby xD
Tbh i think his ability would turn the lava into gold so fast that it prob wouldn't even burn him
Imagine discovering that gold deposit formed from the lava.
I didn’t know King Midas was a part of Greek mythology, I thought his story was just a parable
If Midas haven’t got a gold touch curse, he would’ve had a good life and without fear.
5:56 in fact, this chest leads to an achievement, and for it you need to hold this chest for a minute, if I’m not confused, somewhere in this radius, and of course it’s simply impossible to open it)
Looks to me like he didn't die, he was just encased in the lava, which turned to gold since he was touching it. So yeah, he's probably just stuck there for eternity.
‘Beat the game to use this item’ what did that item do?
You have to beat the game to use that item, simple smh
This part is so SICK!!
Overkill much? He could have just cut off his hand like a normal person. lol
It is interesting how Kratos and Midas share the same problem.
They both wished for something that later caused the death of their loved ones.
Kratos dragging Midas was cool
Although he threw him in hot lava 🔥, that was really ice cold 🧊.
Technically speaking, Kratos is one touch away from being dead. If I wanted to kill a resisting Midas, I'd remove his hands first before going any closer.
The gods won't let you die...but Kratos will, Kratos will let you die...
I know they lacked the tech or the concept. But would Midas be safe to at least grab things if he put on a metal gauntlet. I mean sure it'd be gold, and heavy, but still. I think he'd be safe to like... grab an apple or something.
Honestly, after seeing this, Kratos doesn't deserve redemption.
Alot of the time I don’t even understand why Kratos is hunting down and brutally murdering all these people from mythology (many of whom were cursed or betrayed by the gods themselves, which you’d think he would be sympathetic towards) and I really don’t think Kratos even knows either.
He wasn't hunting Midas down, he just needed him to get across the lava, still messed up though. Every once in a while he does feel bad, he killed Prometheus in GoW 2 since he was cursed to be killed and brought back to life forever. Him being put there by Zeus reminded him of what Zeus was doing to Kratos.
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad…
The Best worst kratos cud have choose to do is *request or make the Man Already suffering in eternal torment/curse to help & just touch the lava once...*
But no, he had to go with the WORST, MOST BRUTALLY INHUMANE THING : Just beat him to Pulp and throw his body in Searing hot Lava ! 😮💨
**"Kratos REALLY DESERVED To had his Wife DIED & tormented by visions of his own crimes for the rest of his Life"** 😅
Midas, you gold loving buffoon.😂
Wow he killed the king to cross the street
Truly a son of Zeus .
Good thing for Kratos this is another fictional universe where convection doesn't exist.
U are the funny guy at the parties, arent you?
Now that was uncalled for...
"Uncalled for" is basically everything Kratos does pre-2018
I see this man use actual combos. Bro i just spammed with the blades and done.
Before killing King Midas I would force him to make everything gold he touch to make myself rich, I am aware how dangerous it can be just don’t let him touch any person.
Personally in my opinion, here’s what King Midas should have done: have an on and off ability for his gold touch. Like a ring. Whenever he has that ring is on, it’ll turn to gold. When it is off, nothing will happen. And have something to counter the gold touch like a bracelet to revert gold back to its normal status. But, like I said, that’s just my opinion.🤷🏽♂️
What wonders me here is how could Kratos pick up Midas and carry him on his shoulder ?!? Everything Midas touches turns into Gold. not just everything he touches with his hands it’s his whole body.
So why didn’t Kratos dragged Midas with his chain blades and then again those would’ve turned into Gold too
GoW bent the rules. It used the "modern" version of the story, where Midas' curse was only things he touched with his hands.
I wanna know why he didnt turn the entire ground to gold, though. Weird that he just left golden handprints
@@LordZanas Think of it as he was touching piles of dirt or grains of sand. the whole desert is not gonna turn into gold, only the grains he touched
Even if that was an "act of mercy" from Kratos, that's just cruel. We know for a fact burning alive is the worst death possible, why not just kill him with Kratos' weapons ?
Every part of Midas' body was cursed
Did he really kill him just to get up that lava fall?
Stupid midas, just wear gloves made of gold...
I always thought this tbh
2:41 💍 *THE RING!* 💍
seems like a chill guy, hope he is not that guy I heard about that kills gods and shit and when he’s done he just trascends dimension to target a whole different mythology 😊💕
