Honestly I love Freya's character and how caring she is as a mother and one in her various imposing positions. Leader of the Vanir, Queen of the Valkyries, Wife of Odin and Mother of Baldur.... Why she failed as Baldur's mother is not that she _didn't_ love him or _abused_ him, what she did to Baldur was much worse. She ruined his life in the only way worse than whatever Thor did to Modi, by being overprotective of her child and controlling him (via her magic) with selfish intentions being part of her reasons for it. Taking away his choice in a major life-altering decision and cursing him with the inability to feel anything physically. A parent that would have zero faith in their child's own ability is destined to make them incapable of anything on their own. Baldur's resentment and hatred of her is understood when nothing so much as makes him move. Can you imagine simply moving around unable to feel your foot hitting the ground, eating with tasting the meal in your mouth, being entirely numb to everything. That sounds like a nightmare. One Freya would not remove, even though Baldur _begged her_ to remove it. All because of a random _Rune_ telling Freya her son will die a needless death. When she made Baldur incapable of feeling, she made him this empty, morbidly indifferent monster of a god, and thus resulting in his death. It's as a wise old Chinese Tortoise once said.... "One often meets their destiny on the road they take to avoid it."
In Kratos' defense, if he were to let Baldur have his way with Freya he would've turned his eyes right back to Kratos & Atreus, fight them, and then he'd just get killed anyway. Now u have two ppl dead. So I think he made the best logical choice in this situation. It's better to keep Freya in this world rather than just let her die...... ... Or is it?...
She would of let his son kill her to prevent war and ragnorok cause killing baldur set ragnorok more earlier and she would of prevented that if it take sacrificing her own life
or he can just hold Baldur in place and let Freya talk to him abit more. i mean bside of the plot necessity aka Baldur death is the first sign of Ragnarok so he have to die for the story to advance. Baldur main goal is done as soon as he got his feeling back. killing his mother is like a sidequest. Kratos instead of break his neck killing Baldur he could just hold him like that while Freya gets back up . now ,she would still be mad and ask Kratos to let Baldur kill her so her son can have revenge then have peace. Kratos can have the same speech to Atreus but now Baldur is also listening "i come from sparta i kill many deserving and many not .i killed my father" Atreus will rply the same with "is this what is to be god we just end up kill our parents?" Kratos will now let Baldur go and confort Atreus and say the same thing about not better and repeat the cycle, but this time the weakend Baldur will probably react abit diffrenly then his normal self mostly because he now feel pain and weakness so he cant just jump back up to fight and also because he see right in front of him a example of a god take vengeance on their own parent , a husk of a god hate himself endlessly with no peace no happiness no love so emotionaly broken he had to run away from his own homeland to forget his own past being and overall miserable. Baldur might just break down for his plan has failed because now he know revenge on his own mother will only bring him more emotional pains in the future which he dosnt really want he have already enough of that. Freya will come and take Baldur away promising she will redeem herself Baldur can still die after ward but not by Kratos Baldur can die from Thor in the next game first to show how strong Thor is and also to show Thor carlessness for his own family by killing Baldur specialy infront of Kratos because Kratos really hated he had to kill his own brother and see Thor just kill off his own family not for revege but simple ruthlessness will really make Kratos angry and even more motivated to fight Thor. this can happen because Baldur have probably no idea his mother side of story her mother belives he will die a pointless death from a prophecy and he probably only have Odin side of story he dosnt know what Odin did to his mother and plan to do to him. the reason she put a spell to make him unkillable and immune to pain is mayb because Odin plans to use Baldur to blackmail Freya with torture Mimir clearly tell Odin is really good at torturing so she dosnt wish to see her son to suffer so the spell probably have a really good reason then just overbearing controlling crazy mother. after all this story is about parent hide their secret from their kid but have good intention with good logic . Kratos hide his own history beause he fear his son will walk the same path as he is really overbearing controlling emotionaly to his son. he knows the path of rage and hate leads to endless emotional sufffering they mirror each other abit Freya and Kratos. is abit sad they didnt explore this side of things more with these character.Odin send Thor to kill Freya and Baldur gose to fight Thor and dies protecting his mother would ultimately redeem his character and he might actually be happy from something he never believed to be happy for and have a better conclusion for his character. but Baldur can still come back because you know Freya reanimated a cut off head so why not dead Baldur?
I like Freya a lot. There's something about seeing her cool, kinda grungy forest-witch look stepping through gleaming golden halls that just does it for me aesthetically tbh
Can somebody explain how a 9 year old boy could possibly be the father of a larger than size mythological version of a tiny little reptile the world happens to consider a threat?
@@dadapsuteja4398 I disagree Odin is powerful, skilled, & brilliant. Odin is a much scarier opponent than Zeus. Zeus & the others gods beat the titans & created men. While Odin killed Ymir, created the other 7 realms & mankind. Zeus believes himself perfect even though he isnt. While Odin sees himself as an almighty being but still have a thrist to improve. Zeus would seek wisdom from Athena, while Odin would usually solve his own problems. Zeus is like Superman, & Odin is like Batman with Superman's powers.
Honestly, I really like Freya and her character. She treated Atreus like her own son and understood and empathized with Kratos' pain even when Kratos wasn't being particularly kind to her. Baldur's death broke my heart not due to Baldur himself but rather his relationship with Freya and what he meant to her. No matter how much people keep saying it was right for Kratos to murder Baldur, a mother saw her son's neck being snapped by someone she helped and there is no rationality involved when a mother sees her own son murdered right before her eyes. I really hope that Freya and Kratos come back to old terms because it would be really heartbreaking for me, and thankfully how many people feel, if Kratos fought her and killed her.
I felt bad for Freya and Baldur. Freya for having been betrayed, used, and discarded by Odin, and Baldur, for having had his life ruined by the immortality that Freya had placed on him. He despised her for what she did to him, and yet you could tell that he still saw her as his mother, that what he was about to do was horrible, and yet he still had a shred of love and care for her, despite his malice and anguish.
@@introduction1266 the only thing she knows is that he's a god from another land. She doesn't know what he had to do or what he had to do. Heck she don't even know he's the one that brought the Greek pantheon to its knees
12:12 I just realized, Freya saying that World Serpent speak using dead language was actually language from the future. Atreus: "You know, we actually talked to the World Serpent. But when he speaks, I can't understand any of it." The language is not dead. It wasn't even being used. Thor supposedly punched the World Serpent so hard that it goes back to the past (Kratos and Atreus's present). World Serpent said Atreus looks familiar right? It's because he was his father in the future.
Maybe the world serpent is just a newborn when he fought thor and doesnt learn any language yet. Freya said that they fought so hard that the serpent bought back to the ancient time ... Maybe he learned ancient tounge there then the grow so big he body is wrapping the whole midgard
@@ultikillerrrr time is kind of fucked in these games. remember when Kratos went to the past to get Gia and all the other titans. and then brought them back to his timeline. time travel is possible in this universe. the world serpent can be numerous versions of its self in time. who knows till the next game comes out.
I hope Freya isn't the next opponent we have to kill in the next GOW. Always liked her interactions with Atreus and she seems like one of the only nice gods in existence.
Same here. Even though she is bound to be an adversary because they killed her son, I really hope she joins thier side (or at the very least, not get killed by kratos)
I love the relationship between Kratos and Freya; it's not a generic "falling in love" relationship, but one where these characters can frown, understand, respect, and work with each other like comrades I truly can't wait to see the fate of them both
I believe that, in truth, Hrimthir told Freya nothing. Because he knew that the obsessive secret crazed Odin could not stand Freya knowing something he didn't, especially if it was about the defenses of Asgard. Yet when Odin asked Freya what Hrimthir said and she say's that it was nothing; he can't believe her and begins to think that now Freya schemes against him with the Giants. So begins the rift that forms between the two, all because Hrimthir wanted to mess with Odin.
Actually that's not how that story goes. Loki's the one who cuts the deal and when shit gets tough he turns himself to a horse and seduces the builder's horse then gives birth to Odin's horse.
its the sight. The same magic in Mimir's eyes which is a gift of the Jotun. Atreus is half Jotun, thus that glow is natural to him when using his Jotun powers.
@@Chrono_Mitsurugi Aye, and Jörmungandr's call is most likely a Jötunn power itself, which would explain why only Mimir could call upon the serpent as well, since he had been blessed by the giants as well.
Would it have been more poetic if Baldur had ended his own life as a means of hurting Freya? He could say a line like"I won't kill you mother. That would be too merciful. I want you to live as I lived. I want you to spend every moment of your life deprived of the thing you cherish most." Then Balder takes the sword off Freya's back and plunges it into his heart. then Freya would have to live the rest of her life knowing she failed to protect her son.
Baldur had already lost his ability to stay calm. He was delirious, imprisoned in a senseless world unintentionally by his mother. This is likely one way Baldur would’ve died because the gods were concerned of his death which seemed to be inevitable. Perhaps Odin had already prophesied this event to hurt Freya. I’m making these assumptions based on the game’s story and a bit of norse mythology
Oh, I definitely disagree. Although suicide would have neatly handled the conflict between Freya and Kratos, it also closes the door for additional character development stemming from these two. I think the current story invokes more interest...I am very curious to see how Kratos and Freya's story will resolve/end in Ragnorok.
I like that feeling of "partnership" between Kratos and Freya after Atreus is healed, you never get to see Kratos that fond of other god and if they hadn't fight in the end they would have been ridicuosly powerful together, kinda sad we won't get to see that
who knows...maybe she will turn around and realize Kratos did the right thing, even though it wasn't what she wanted. i sincerely hope so since i really don't want to kill her....
Baldur was on the Exact same path as Kratos was back in Greece. If he had killed freya for shure he would have gone after the other asier who could not have 'helped' him.
Eh I doubt he would’ve gotten as far. Thor seems to be on a whole other level than the others and Odin knew how to keep him in line even when he was invulnerable.
@@Lil_Peachu I don’t think anyone can really, but my big issue with this whole argument is, what exactly was Bauldur planning on doing after he killed Freya, go back to Asgard without Kratos or Atreus, what do you think Odin and Thor would do to him when he returns home empty handed, with no more invincibility and two dead nephews?
33:32 I love how at times the view moves like a camera recording as if someone is 'filming' this the whole time. I wonder if they'll adopt the over-the-shoulder free camera routine in future installments. It a nice touch!
Despite her good intentions Freya ultimately ruined Baldur's life. She basically made him a psychopath. He feels nothing. When you don't have pain to teach you the things that you are allowed to do and don't, because it hurts, you don't develop the consciousness to cope with your actions. Baldur felt no pain or pleasure, for anything... Freya as a Valkyrie would be extremely dangerous...Truly a tragic character...I love the writing in this game.
What I fail to understand is how Freya could take that prophecy about Baldur to heart? She condemned her son to not feel anything because of hearsay (Baldur would die a needless death), which caused her son to feel resentment and contempt towards her. Kratos is living testimony that prophecies/destiny/fate means nothing, due to him cheating fate more times than anyone can count.
Raijin Dragon The funny thing about prophecies is that the more you do to try and change them, the worse the outcome will become. It's a really big "fuck you" that fate or whatever does to you trying to defy it. My guess is Freya probably shouldn't have done any of what she did in the first place. Maybe it wouldn't prevent the prophecy from coming true, but it at least wouldn't cause Baldur and herself so much suffering. And maybe her own son wouldn't be out to kill her.
what is there to "fail to understand"? because humans are fucking retarded, as they have always been, throughout all of history. the norse religion is just one of the many retarded religions made up by retarded humans, including the retarded ones like christianity, and islam and hinduism, and the 4000+ others, even including the likes of shintoism, shenism, and buddhism. what a retarded question. what i love about Kratos is how the entire series condemns "gods", when the actual retards really are actually us, with our stupid made up stories about them, of which stories cant even stand up to a ten minute scrutiny to a reasoable ten year old.
So if you want the actual answer Baldur is the son of Frigg. Freya and Frigg aren't strictly speaking the same goddesses, Freya is the vanir goddess of love, sex, fertility, beauty, and Norse witchcraft known as Seiðr and is the wife of Óðr. Frigg on other hand is an Æsir goddess and wife of Odin The reason they're combined into one character in this game is because scholars hypothesize that the two characters are descended from the same earlier proto-germanic mythological character because they share so much thematic overlap, and thus are often depicted as being the same character So anywho Baldur is Frigg's son. She wasn't told a prophecy, she dreamed it. One of Friggs abilities is foresight. She can see the future in prophetic dreams. Both her and Baldur dream of his untimely death. So Frigg went to every plant and animal and substance in existence and made them promise never to cause Baldur harm. They all promised except for mistletoe which is why it's the only thing that can harm him So to answer your question she believed it because she has the ability to see the future and saw it herself. It wasn't hearsay. Especially since it turned out to be true
From Queen of the Vanir, Leader of the Valkyries, Queen of Odin, Mother of Baldur, Lonely Forsaken witch of the woods, Grieving mother, to Avenging Warrior… truly a hard life even by the standards of the gods in these games…
They may have taken their narrative liberties, and emphasized the dark sides of the gods, but in my view as a Scandinavian and practicing heathen; the writers for God of War have represented Freyja's character better than any other high-profile modern writers who've tried.
I'm not gonna lie if I was an animation I'd hit it.. id hit so hard baulder would feel it.. I'd hit so hard Odin would wanna get back with her.. good thing I'm not the only one who feels the same 🤣😂🤣😂
I have a feeling that in the next game, Freya will recover her Valkyrie wings, reclaiming her warriors spirit, and recruit the Valkyries to hunt Kratos down. Yeah we freed them but as Mimir said, the Valkyries rever Freya, so them helping her avenge Baldurs death doesn't seem too far fetched. She could also get help from her brother Freyr and get help from the Light Elves.
I don't think so. Freya hates Odin more than she hates Kratos. When Kratos told his history to Atreus, Freya seemed to listen and understand all of it. Mimir said that she'll come around given time, the dialogue is there for a reason. I think she'll keep changing sides in the next game but in the end she will come at peace with Kratos. After all She and Atreus grew very close in no time.
@@sangxu5391 I'm not sure if she will be an ally or not. Yeah, she probably hates Odin more than she hates Kratos, but he killed her son, I don't think she will forgive him so easily.
@@MrAfriKa I honestly thought the offensive term was the other one; as you can see from my username, I'm not a native english speaker! Anyway I didn't want to sound too pc, but apologize if I have offended you
Seeing how sweet she is with Atreus is so bittersweet, knowing how the relationship w her own son turns out, and that ultimately it was that same maternal love (magnified by the drama of godhood) that caused it.
That last interaction with Kratos, Atreus, Freya and Baldur was SOOO good. The characters are so well written you become attached to these Gods. Even the bodiless Memir is incredibly refreshing to hear from. All words no actions yet he is quite fun to watch and listen to.
The Travel Chamber is VERY Stargate in concept. Which is equally appropriate considering that Kratos is now voiced by Christopher Judge, the same guy who voiced Teal'c.
Not necessarily the Stargate is like a teleporter, it disassembles you at one end and reassembles you at the other, whereas the Travel Chamber is more travel between realms along the Ysgdrasil tree
Michael Nguyen the stargate creates wormholes and sends your particles through it. The temple in GoW is folding space I quess? but the doors that lead to brokks shop wormholes, 4dimensional doors.
I prefer red orbs But wait, isnt Kratos covered with the ashes of his former daughter and wife? If so, doesnt that mean hes putting his ash covered pp into a different woman? if so, damn.
I really liked her interactions with Kratos and Atreus, you can honestly feel a motherly aura when she speaks with Atreus, wether she's explaining something like a mother would to a curious child or placing herself in danger every now and then to help them
I'm gonna be honest; I never played this God of War so I thought all Freya did was remove Baldur's ability to feel pain... then I saw 43:05 If we were dealing with mortal lives that inevitably passed on and thus had to answer for their transgressions, I'd still say letting Freya live was the right thing for Kratos to do. But she put him through a type of sensory deprivation for over a hundred years that normal men in solitary confinement can't endure after a few months (and THEY can still taste, feel and smell!). Smothering doesn't come close to describing the crime she inflicted on her own son. I know it's wrong to say, but I would've let Baldur kill her.
Risky option. Once matricide happens. Baldur is capable of anything after that. He can still try to kill you and then go on to kill others, including mothers like his own. Never underestimate a maddened soul after such a sin is done.
Strange thing about this scene. You can totally see the effect his numbness has had on him. I'm fully convinced that Baldur at the time of that vision was much much saner than he is now. He lashed out at Freya, yes, but he let her go. He wouldn't have done that now.
This game makes me feel like Odin has designed everything to keep the lesser gods tame. Baldur being invulnerable to all damage but cannot handle viking hells guilt trip and the 2 brothers are nemesis to eachother.
He probably did. He probably forged those runes that foretold of a needless death. Knowing Freya would go all overprotective mom on baldur. Odin probably could have removed Baldur's invulnerability at anytime but chose not too cuz he wanted to get kickstart on Ragnarok a little early
Same thing that Zeus does, constantly inspiring an Olympian culture that has all of the most powerful members at each other’s throat. If they were all on great terms with each other, then suddenly, the most enimity will be reserved for the king.
I love the way she and Kratos interact in their first scenes together: When Freya reveals she knows Kratos' identity, he gets defensive. However, Themis revelation isn't out of antagonism, but as a helpful hand. She then immediately explains to him about the dangers that the Norse Gods pose to him, and how Atreus would be impacted by them. Also, Freya requesting Kratos to get lamb's cress and him whining of it, is hysterical. But it showcases how she's not afraid to boss him around. By the end, they both nod at each other respectfully. That's actually super appealing and almost badass I'm actually really interested with how these characters interact with Ragnarok, hopefully Freya isn't swept to the side like some minor antagonist.
If Freya knows that Gods of Aesir don't take kindly to Outsiders , then she may have seen one outsider being catured by Odin before she came to Midgard. I wonder who was the outsider.
@@lucasmartinez5703 no it's not mate. Please, get outta here. Watch fifty shades or some shit, and I'm not being toxic. Just leave. Coming to God of War thread talking about shipping a Vanir fallen goddess with a serial murderer turned humble father, both having tremendous amounts of tragedy in their lives.
Did anyone else besides me notice Freya intentionally trying to reveal Atreus’s true nature as a God to him with that story about the boar? She was basically saying his sickness is his God and mortal sides constantly at war with each other, neither one able to find their unity, and one constantly trying to outweigh the other. And as we saw further in the game, once Atreus learned the truth, his godhood took over, and consumed him with rage, arrogance, and power-lust. And it took him realizing he lost control for both sides of his identity to find their equilibrium, to find unity in one body. Also, I wonder what Freya’s older brother Frey is going to think when her sister is picking a fight with Kratos in Midgard. Also, I can’t help but feel bad for Baldur. He didn’t ask to be made invincible and unable to be killed or even feel pain, Freya imposed that on him without his consent. So, his desire for vengeance and his anger is understandable.
Freyja's brother and a member of the Vanir. God of Kingship, virility, prosperity, sunshine, and fair weather. Son of the sea god Njorthr. Wielded a magic sword called Sumarbrandr (Sword of Summer) that had the ability to fight on it's own without the need of a wielder. There's one story of how Freyr tried to woo the frost giantess, Gerthr, who eventually became his wife. and finally (spoilers for Ragnarok) ....he'll be killed by Surtr because he was missing his sword.
As much as I love mimir he is truly Odin, missing eye. Also freya knows more than she’s letting on. Mimir doesn’t know of Atreus true identity either. He wasn’t with them in jotunheim
Tragic, perhaps, for Fraya, not so much. Balder is the one who suffered and was eventaully driven stark raving mad by what his mother had done to him. And she was fine with him suffering so long as she did not have to see him die. She did not give him the choise. A more selfish act I have never seen. What suffering she is enduring is by her own hand, I pity her, like I would any idiot. But the victim here is Balder.
She is no idiot, I can assure you. Just because she was 100% willing to do what she did, that doesn’t mean she was ok with it. She had no choice as a mother, not to mention that she knew his death would indicate Ragnorok! Like seriously, wtf is wrong with you😅🤣
@@robertsmall5168 Oh please spare me your stupid blathering, she gave zero fucks for Ragnarok. And the simple fact is that she valued her peace of mind more then she felt bad for the pain she caused her son. That is not an act of love, that's abuse.
Baldurs story is probably one of the most tragic stories in the whole game, its a fate worse than death to be unable to feel anything. And i think that if freya hadnt done this to him he could’ve been a good person.
I feel like Baldur just needed time to cool off and experience the things he missed out on for the last 100 years. Maybe he would've come around, but I like the story elements to his death so I wouldn't change it.

@@dadapsuteja4398 I disagree Odin is powerful, skilled, & brilliant. Odin is a much scarier opponent than Zeus. Zeus & the others gods beat the titans & created men. While Odin killed Ymir, created the other 7 realms & mankind. Zeus believes himself perfect even though he isnt. While Odin sees himself as an almighty being but still have a thrist to improve. Zeus would seek wisdom from Athena, while Odin would usually solve his own problems. Zeus is like Superman, & Odin is like Batman with Superman's powers.

"I'm still a god, go away!"
Yeah
Honestly, I really like Freya and her character. She treated Atreus like her own son and understood and empathized with Kratos' pain even when Kratos wasn't being particularly kind to her. Baldur's death broke my heart not due to Baldur himself but rather his relationship with Freya and what he meant to her. No matter how much people keep saying it was right for Kratos to murder Baldur, a mother saw her son's neck being snapped by someone she helped and there is no rationality involved when a mother sees her own son murdered right before her eyes. I really hope that Freya and Kratos come back to old terms because it would be really heartbreaking for me, and thankfully how many people feel, if Kratos fought her and killed her.
I felt bad for Freya and Baldur. Freya for having been betrayed, used, and discarded by Odin, and Baldur, for having had his life ruined by the immortality that Freya had placed on him. He despised her for what she did to him, and yet you could tell that he still saw her as his mother, that what he was about to do was horrible, and yet he still had a shred of love and care for her, despite his malice and anguish.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 "being a God means a lifetime of anguish and tragedy" truly a curse

12:12 I just realized, Freya saying that World Serpent speak using dead language was actually language from the future.
Atreus: "You know, we actually talked to the World Serpent. But when he speaks, I can't understand any of it."
The language is not dead. It wasn't even being used. Thor supposedly punched the World Serpent so hard that it goes back to the past (Kratos and Atreus's present).
World Serpent said Atreus looks familiar right? It's because he was his father in the future.
Holy shit that's so cool
probably not, mimir said its an ancient language himself
Maybe the world serpent is just a newborn when he fought thor and doesnt learn any language yet. Freya said that they fought so hard that the serpent bought back to the ancient time ... Maybe he learned ancient tounge there then the grow so big he body is wrapping the whole midgard

I truly can't wait to see the fate of them both
I believe that, in truth, Hrimthir told Freya nothing. Because he knew that the obsessive secret crazed Odin could not stand Freya knowing something he didn't, especially if it was about the defenses of Asgard. Yet when Odin asked Freya what Hrimthir said and she say's that it was nothing; he can't believe her and begins to think that now Freya schemes against him with the Giants. So begins the rift that forms between the two, all because Hrimthir wanted to mess with Odin.
Hrimthir:see i pulled a sneaky on ya!

Would it have been more poetic if Baldur had ended his own life as a means of hurting Freya? He could say a line like"I won't kill you mother. That would be too merciful. I want you to live as I lived. I want you to spend every moment of your life deprived of the thing you cherish most." Then Balder takes the sword off Freya's back and plunges it into his heart. then Freya would have to live the rest of her life knowing she failed to protect her son.
Except Balder had no reason to kill himself. He just got all his feeling back. He had feasts to engorge in, wine to consume, and women to bed.
That wouldve been sick absolutley sick if his hate for his mother exceeded his will to live a life with feeling
Baldur had already lost his ability to stay calm. He was delirious, imprisoned in a senseless world unintentionally by his mother. This is likely one way Baldur would’ve died because the gods were concerned of his death which seemed to be inevitable. Perhaps Odin had already prophesied this event to hurt Freya. I’m making these assumptions based on the game’s story and a bit of norse mythology
@@schnappsundbier2096 He used up the last of his patience not killing freya all those years ago.
Oh, I definitely disagree. Although suicide would have neatly handled the conflict between Freya and Kratos, it also closes the door for additional character development stemming from these two. I think the current story invokes more interest...I am very curious to see how Kratos and Freya's story will resolve/end in Ragnorok.
"I'm still a god. Go away"
I damn near choked laughing hearing this.
I love how freya trolling mimir by choking him with large maggots. 😂
Wait... fr? 😂😂
Probably was what she used to bewitch his memory regarding Balder’s invulnerability.
I like that feeling of "partnership" between Kratos and Freya after Atreus is healed, you never get to see Kratos that fond of other god and if they hadn't fight in the end they would have been ridicuosly powerful together, kinda sad we won't get to see that
who knows...maybe she will turn around and realize Kratos did the right thing, even though it wasn't what she wanted. i sincerely hope so since i really don't want to kill her....
Funny thing is he also treated aphrodite in a tender but radically different way, and aphrodite is also a goddess of love like freya.
Baldur was on the Exact same path as Kratos was back in Greece. If he had killed freya for shure he would have gone after the other asier who could not have 'helped' him.
Or maybe he just killed himself out of confusion and regret.
Eh I doubt he would’ve gotten as far. Thor seems to be on a whole other level than the others and Odin knew how to keep him in line even when he was invulnerable.

33:32 I love how at times the view moves like a camera recording as if someone is 'filming' this the whole time. I wonder if they'll adopt the over-the-shoulder free camera routine in future installments. It a nice touch!
ikr? It's like we're right there in the room. Makes the scene very immersive.
Despite her good intentions Freya ultimately ruined Baldur's life. She basically made him a psychopath. He feels nothing. When you don't have pain to teach you the things that you are allowed to do and don't, because it hurts, you don't develop the consciousness to cope with your actions. Baldur felt no pain or pleasure, for anything...
Freya as a Valkyrie would be extremely dangerous...Truly a tragic character...I love the writing in this game.
What I fail to understand is how Freya could take that prophecy about Baldur to heart? She condemned her son to not feel anything because of hearsay (Baldur would die a needless death), which caused her son to feel resentment and contempt towards her. Kratos is living testimony that prophecies/destiny/fate means nothing, due to him cheating fate more times than anyone can count.
Raijin Dragon The funny thing about prophecies is that the more you do to try and change them, the worse the outcome will become. It's a really big "fuck you" that fate or whatever does to you trying to defy it.
My guess is Freya probably shouldn't have done any of what she did in the first place. Maybe it wouldn't prevent the prophecy from coming true, but it at least wouldn't cause Baldur and herself so much suffering. And maybe her own son wouldn't be out to kill her.
Honestly I have a feeling that Odin has something to do with putting fear into Freya’s heart about Baldur dying.
Angel Valentin Could be. He _did_ corrupt the Valkyries after all.
what is there to "fail to understand"?
because humans are fucking retarded, as they have always been, throughout all of history. the norse religion is just one of the many retarded religions made up by retarded humans, including the retarded ones like christianity, and islam and hinduism, and the 4000+ others, even including the likes of shintoism, shenism, and buddhism.
what a retarded question.
what i love about Kratos is how the entire series condemns "gods", when the actual retards really are actually us, with our stupid made up stories about them, of which stories cant even stand up to a ten minute scrutiny to a reasoable ten year old.
So if you want the actual answer Baldur is the son of Frigg. Freya and Frigg aren't strictly speaking the same goddesses, Freya is the vanir goddess of love, sex, fertility, beauty, and Norse witchcraft known as Seiðr and is the wife of Óðr. Frigg on other hand is an Æsir goddess and wife of Odin
The reason they're combined into one character in this game is because scholars hypothesize that the two characters are descended from the same earlier proto-germanic mythological character because they share so much thematic overlap, and thus are often depicted as being the same character
So anywho Baldur is Frigg's son. She wasn't told a prophecy, she dreamed it. One of Friggs abilities is foresight. She can see the future in prophetic dreams. Both her and Baldur dream of his untimely death. So Frigg went to every plant and animal and substance in existence and made them promise never to cause Baldur harm. They all promised except for mistletoe which is why it's the only thing that can harm him
So to answer your question she believed it because she has the ability to see the future and saw it herself. It wasn't hearsay. Especially since it turned out to be true
From Queen of the Vanir, Leader of the Valkyries, Queen of Odin, Mother of Baldur, Lonely Forsaken witch of the woods, Grieving mother, to Avenging Warrior… truly a hard life even by the standards of the gods in these games…

They may have taken their narrative liberties, and emphasized the dark sides of the gods, but in my view as a Scandinavian and practicing heathen; the writers for God of War have represented Freyja's character better than any other high-profile modern writers who've tried.

Very Unlikely, especially the fact that Kratos kill her son.
18:10, BOI DID YOU SEE THIS!?!?!
Lmfao
I have a feeling that in the next game, Freya will recover her Valkyrie wings, reclaiming her warriors spirit, and recruit the Valkyries to hunt Kratos down. Yeah we freed them but as Mimir said, the Valkyries rever Freya, so them helping her avenge Baldurs death doesn't seem too far fetched. She could also get help from her brother Freyr and get help from the Light Elves.
I don't think so. Freya hates Odin more than she hates Kratos. When Kratos told his history to Atreus, Freya seemed to listen and understand all of it. Mimir said that she'll come around given time, the dialogue is there for a reason. I think she'll keep changing sides in the next game but in the end she will come at peace with Kratos. After all She and Atreus grew very close in no time.
aligamerable agree. I think she will be a boss fight for some part of the game but in the end becoming a powerful ally in ragnarok.
@@sangxu5391 I'm not sure if she will be an ally or not. Yeah, she probably hates Odin more than she hates Kratos, but he killed her son, I don't think she will forgive him so easily.

I love her character development and how Kratos reacts after she is a god.
I love how Freya just bosses Kratos around like no big deal, lol.
Seeing how sweet she is with Atreus is so bittersweet, knowing how the relationship w her own son turns out, and that ultimately it was that same maternal love (magnified by the drama of godhood) that caused it.
That last interaction with Kratos, Atreus, Freya and Baldur was SOOO good. The characters are so well written you become attached to these Gods. Even the bodiless Memir is incredibly refreshing to hear from. All words no actions yet he is quite fun to watch and listen to.
Wait a sec.... either Baldur was chilling in midgaurd for the last 150 years or he has another way of passing through the realms
He can travel between Asgard and Midgard. But he can not make the journey to the other realms.
Someone in the comments said “when is kratos going to blow freyas back out” 😂😂😂😂
🤣😫🤣
The Travel Chamber is VERY Stargate in concept. Which is equally appropriate considering that Kratos is now voiced by Christopher Judge, the same guy who voiced Teal'c.
Not necessarily the Stargate is like a teleporter, it disassembles you at one end and reassembles you at the other, whereas the Travel Chamber is more travel between realms along the Ysgdrasil tree
Michael Nguyen the stargate creates wormholes and sends your particles through it. The temple in GoW is folding space I quess? but the doors that lead to brokks shop wormholes, 4dimensional doors.

I really liked her interactions with Kratos and Atreus, you can honestly feel a motherly aura when she speaks with Atreus, wether she's explaining something like a mother would to a curious child or placing herself in danger every now and then to help them
I'm gonna be honest; I never played this God of War so I thought all Freya did was remove Baldur's ability to feel pain... then I saw 43:05 If we were dealing with mortal lives that inevitably passed on and thus had to answer for their transgressions, I'd still say letting Freya live was the right thing for Kratos to do. But she put him through a type of sensory deprivation for over a hundred years that normal men in solitary confinement can't endure after a few months (and THEY can still taste, feel and smell!). Smothering doesn't come close to describing the crime she inflicted on her own son.
I know it's wrong to say, but I would've let Baldur kill her.
Risky option. Once matricide happens. Baldur is capable of anything after that. He can still try to kill you and then go on to kill others, including mothers like his own. Never underestimate a maddened soul after such a sin is done.
No you wouldn’t have
Strange thing about this scene. You can totally see the effect his numbness has had on him. I'm fully convinced that Baldur at the time of that vision was much much saner than he is now. He lashed out at Freya, yes, but he let her go. He wouldn't have done that now.
The way Freya says "Target practice" lol she is like an angry mom.
"Boy, you're really strong"
*I see what you did there* 😂
This game makes me feel like Odin has designed everything to keep the lesser gods tame. Baldur being invulnerable to all damage but cannot handle viking hells guilt trip and the 2 brothers are nemesis to eachother.
He probably did. He probably forged those runes that foretold of a needless death. Knowing Freya would go all overprotective mom on baldur. Odin probably could have removed Baldur's invulnerability at anytime but chose not too cuz he wanted to get kickstart on Ragnarok a little early
Same thing that Zeus does, constantly inspiring an Olympian culture that has all of the most powerful members at each other’s throat. If they were all on great terms with each other, then suddenly, the most enimity will be reserved for the king.
Maybe he wanted to kickstart ragnarok early so he’d have a better chance to survive it?
After watching most of the videos, I definitely want to see Freya get her warrior spirit back, and take the war to odin himself.
She’ll take the war to Kratos first. And given that Sigrun was under *Freya’s* command - I don’t want to see that.
Baldur reminds me of Midas, both have amazing powers but are unable to cope with the consequences of the power
Well in this one, it was a consequence he doesn't knew because ya know, her
I love the way she and Kratos interact in their first scenes together:
When Freya reveals she knows Kratos' identity, he gets defensive. However, Themis revelation isn't out of antagonism, but as a helpful hand. She then immediately explains to him about the dangers that the Norse Gods pose to him, and how Atreus would be impacted by them.
Also, Freya requesting Kratos to get lamb's cress and him whining of it, is hysterical. But it showcases how she's not afraid to boss him around.
By the end, they both nod at each other respectfully. That's actually super appealing and almost badass
I'm actually really interested with how these characters interact with Ragnarok, hopefully Freya isn't swept to the side like some minor antagonist.
Took me awhile to realize those green arrows are the mistletoe that broke baldurs spell and that's why freya didn't want him to keep it
15:43 The fact that the entirety of this game he's HOLDING BACK, I'm TERRIFIED of his full power now
If Freya knows that Gods of Aesir don't take kindly to Outsiders , then she may have seen one outsider being catured by Odin before she came to Midgard. I wonder who was the outsider.
Artemis perhaps
Before the end of the game, I sorta shipped Kratos and Freya...despite the fact that his wife Faye had literally just died.
You're not the only one 😁
Buddy this isn't a game where you ship anyone. Go watch or play something romantic ffs
That's just disrespectful to kratos. It ruin's his character. I'd like them to be best friends or just rivals
It"s fine to ship characters. Even if they don't make any sense together. It's a free country. Just don't be toxic about it.
@@lucasmartinez5703 no it's not mate. Please, get outta here. Watch fifty shades or some shit, and I'm not being toxic. Just leave. Coming to God of War thread talking about shipping a Vanir fallen goddess with a serial murderer turned humble father, both having tremendous amounts of tragedy in their lives.
Did anyone else besides me notice Freya intentionally trying to reveal Atreus’s true nature as a God to him with that story about the boar? She was basically saying his sickness is his God and mortal sides constantly at war with each other, neither one able to find their unity, and one constantly trying to outweigh the other. And as we saw further in the game, once Atreus learned the truth, his godhood took over, and consumed him with rage, arrogance, and power-lust. And it took him realizing he lost control for both sides of his identity to find their equilibrium, to find unity in one body. Also, I wonder what Freya’s older brother Frey is going to think when her sister is picking a fight with Kratos in Midgard. Also, I can’t help but feel bad for Baldur. He didn’t ask to be made invincible and unable to be killed or even feel pain, Freya imposed that on him without his consent. So, his desire for vengeance and his anger is understandable.
8:46 😂 PTSD of carrying him around.
Can't wait for Freyr and his sword, Sumarbrandr, to make an appearance later
Freyr? Who's that?
Freyja's brother and a member of the Vanir. God of Kingship, virility, prosperity, sunshine, and fair weather. Son of the sea god Njorthr. Wielded a magic sword called Sumarbrandr (Sword of Summer) that had the ability to fight on it's own without the need of a wielder. There's one story of how Freyr tried to woo the frost giantess, Gerthr, who eventually became his wife. and finally (spoilers for Ragnarok)

Tragic, perhaps, for Fraya, not so much. Balder is the one who suffered and was eventaully driven stark raving mad by what his mother had done to him. And she was fine with him suffering so long as she did not have to see him die. She did not give him the choise. A more selfish act I have never seen. What suffering she is enduring is by her own hand, I pity her, like I would any idiot. But the victim here is Balder.
I agree.
She is no idiot, I can assure you. Just because she was 100% willing to do what she did, that doesn’t mean she was ok with it. She had no choice as a mother, not to mention that she knew his death would indicate Ragnorok! Like seriously, wtf is wrong with you😅🤣
