You know what's funny, he keeps doing all these jobs for the Gods because they promise to remove his nightmares, but one of the first things he did was kill the three beings whose job it was to make the God's keep their promises.
The gods never promised to remove his nightmares, only that his deeds would be forgiven. You can go back to the beginning of GOW1 when Kratos is talking to Athena and see for yourself
In that particular god of war game if you destroy the two statues in ares throne room they give you two phone numbers to call where kratos talks to you and explains that ares is trapped in tartarus
a couple important things, when Pandora's box was opened, Zeus was infected by the evil "Fear", thats what that black Zeus spirit was, and it is speculated that upon her death, Athena's spirit was corrupted by the evil "Greed". At the end she wanted Kratos to give her the power of Hope so that she could keep it for herself and become the new ultimate God of Greece, instead Kratos impaled himself, releasing the power of Hope to all of greece, allowing it to spread amongst mankind. It is also speculated that Kratos is cursed with undying, either just in general, or specifically by his own hand, so that he can never escape his guilt.
The OG god of war story line is some of the best, Kratos Anger was just unmatched to the point he didnt care if any god or goddess have a part or not, as long none of them remained Edit: Why am i at 69 likes???
Pretty sure he didn't kill those that didn't stand in his way or didn't have something he wanted. He didn't give a shit about Hera, but Hera got herself killed
@NKRcometDB A surprising number of the Greek Pantheon were spared from his warpath. Apollo (who is different from Helios), Artemis, and Aphrodite are mentioned or are outright shown, yet aren't killed. And a bunch of the gods in GoW 3 are given numerous opportunities to stand aside by Kratos, yet still chose to fight him (to predictable results). Pretty much any Greek God not named in the series can also be assumed to be still alive, most notably Demeter, Hestia, and Dionysus.
@@christiancinnabars1402 so yeah, I would say he's somewhat reasonable. He only sought after the ones who have wronged him, and anyone who stood in his path or refused to cooperate is dead
I like how the old God of War series is a collection of adventures from a dude with absolutely legendary anger issues and the new series is a tired old man trying to live a peaceful life but he is constantly getting dragged back into some bullshit.
@@edwardarroyo884 The greek saga is also like that if you think about it. Even in GOW 3 he is constantly either trying to defuse the situation (Hercules) or ignoring the non important gods as best as he can (Hermes and Hera) but they JUST KEEP PUSHING.
God of war 2018 picks up years after this GoW 3. There is a line of comics that sort of explain how he got from Greece to Old Scandinavia. Essentially, he’s cursed to never be able to die and his blades will never leave him. He briefly travels through Egypt and encounters Thoth who tries to aid Kratos, but is ignored. Kratos leaves Egypt after slaying a giant crocodile beast. Then he arrives in Old Scandinavia, has a family, and tries to quell his rage by letting wolves attack him without fighting back. After all of that is where 2018 picks up.
@@Ashurman666 Cory said he couldn't die permanently straight up in an interview, but maybe he's changed his mind on that since Kratos did die to Thor, but since he said permanently, perhaps Kratos would have pulled a Baldur and just woke up later.
10:49 the destruction of the pillar of creation would have utterly destroyed everything, including the underworld/Hades. The reason Kratos prevents her plan is because it would have also destroyed Elysium and his daughter.
We get to experience her life before she became a Vtuber. A time when she was a man and got killed by Kratos. Like Kratos just f***ed y'all up lol. He massacred all of Mythos.
The thing with persephone is that it depends on the myth, on is zuse kidnapped her, one is hades kidnapped her, another is that she just found her way down and ate from the underworld and is now tied to it, meaning she has to spend time in the underworld, giving us winter
8:47 "Ios, every time a fall into deep slumber, and at every waking moment, I witness the ghost of Red Impostor in everything I see.. Vanquish the memory of Among Us from my mind, and my soul is yours!!"
I have to state a correction just to clarify the God of War Continuity. GoW (2018) doesn't take place immediately after GoW3. There is an unknown but seemingly long period of time (some theories state that it was a period of a little over 100 years while others state it was over 1,000 years) during which Kratos visits Egypt for a short time in his wandering, reluctantly slays a 'Chaos Beast' using The Blades of Chaos (which he seems to be cursed by and can't get rid of them as every time he tosses them away into the sea, they appear before him when he wakes up after falling asleep). Kratos than wanders far north for an unknown period of time (between 100 &1,000 years) before getting ambushed and dragged through a dimensional rift by Sköll and Hati (Legendary Norse Wolves with godly powers) and than left him in Midgard after being driven off Kratos' fury. Kratos than wanders around Midgard for a few years before the events integral to the plot of GoW(2018) and GoW Ragnarok take place. This is pretty much just a summary of what I could find about this 'in-between period' of Kratos' life after the Destruction of Olympus. Why is Kratos still alive after impaling himself with the Blade of Olympus? My theory is that when the 'Power of Hope' was released from Kratos' body, the powers Kratos once wielded as the God of War (as well as all the other powers from the slain Gods and Titans), still being held in the Blade of Olympus (indicated by the blue glow/aura) rushed into Kratos take it's place. (Notice the Blade of Olympus is no longer glowing after Athena pulls it out of Kratos). With the vast array of powers within the Blade of Olympus absorbed, Kratos is effectively elevated to a the status of a full god rather than just a Demigod and thus he became Immortal, able to survive, and recover from, the otherwise fatal wound from the Blade of Olympus. Side Note: A small portion of the 'Power of Hope' still remains inside Kratos but not much more than a normal person.
@@Ashurman666 He is immortal, Cory has said so himself, it's just that he's immortal in the sense that he won't die by natural causes like age or disease, but strong enough beings can kill him as seen with Thor. The Greek and Norse Gods were immortal too, but they could still be killed by Kratos or other strong beings, Baldur was probably the only truly immortal God thanks to the curse.
@@edwardarroyo884 Incorrect. If he was immortal then he couldn't be killed by enemies which in a game wouldn't make sense. He is simply cursed to not be able to die by his own hand, THAT is what Cory said
@@Ashurman666no, you misunderstood, Immortal in these gods case is they CAN'T be killed by NATURAL CAUSES (old age, disease, etc.) but still CAN be killed by other powerful being (like how Thor can kill Kratos)
@@theomiller623 No, YOU misunderstood. Athena very literally says he can't die by his own hand, she says nothing about natural causes. And are you saying Draugr are powerful beings? Because they quite literally can kill you. Kratos is not immortal, he can still die of natural causes. He just can't kill himself.
God of war 2018 is the fourth mainline title. Side titles were included in the story summary 2. From memory, there's Fod of war, God of war 2, God of war 3, God of war chains of olympus, god of war ghost of sparta, god of war 2018 and god of war ragnarok. with chains of olympus and ghost of sparter being side titles set before the first game.
As a Speedrunner, have you seen the God of War Speedrun? It's not really a game meant for that, but there's a video showing how a 10 hour game became a 1 hour game.
Its assumed that Athena was afflicted by greed, and want to be the one in control in the end, which is why she was upset when Kratos decided to release hope into the world, instead of giving it to her to abuse for her own ends.
One thing the summary forgot to mention is that when Athena stopped Kratos from jumping off the cliff in GOW 1 she actually cursed him to be unable to die by his own hands so long as any of the Greek gods live, hence why he ends up surviving in the end of GOW 3 and since he is still technically a Greek god all of the curses the gods placed on him still remain in effect.
Kratos, after destroying Sisters of the Fate: "Zuus, I come to bargain." Context: Original VA of Kratos literally voiced it like that (type "Zuus" in the YT search, if you do not believe me - as you should not) 😂 Also, each reload after being defeated is just Kratos weaving a new thread of fate, which is inconsistent with the events of Ragnarök, especially in the first fight with Thor (fate string ends or tosses him to Hel, well before Thor resuscitates him).
An unfortunate consequence of Norse Saga's marketing and tone shift is that the past was almost buried. For crying out loud, this girl calls herself Ares and she didn't know the Greek Saga was a thing, let alone that it was the OG saga.
Kratos was literally too angry to die he wasn't gonna stay in the afterlife without getting his getback and the best part is not a single god would have died if these absolute idiots just removed his freaking curse and allowed him to be with his family in the afterlife
They also would have lived if they placed him in a permanent pleasant dream stance by Morpheus, (the God of Dreams), instead of placing him in a nightmare by the Furies.
I am curious about something so in mythos the gods are cute girls dose this mean that the goddess are hot dudes? Or are all of them cute girls? Because if it's the first I could imagine something like athena being a cute nerdy guy or hera being something to do with nature like a gardener or something I know odd question but still just curious
If you think this is cool please react to the story summary of darksiders by suggestive gaming and darksiders is the game series with the four horsemen of the apocalypse
GoW version of the gods are weak as hell, like they're as immortal as in they won't die of old age, but basically anything that would kill a normal person would kill them too, it's just that since they have super powers they're really hard to kill, specially if they turn into giants, so as long as they're regular sized you can just stab them with a regular ass sword and you're good to go.
