Just to celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of God of War Ragnarok - here is the SUPERCUT of all Mimir stories in both Ragnarok and God of War 4. Hope it will help you drift off into slumber.
We may have reduced amount of puzzles here in the last two games. But keen eye and his intellect in those areas' proven to be one of his strongest assets. Man's smart.
I'm assuming they weren't aware of olives because they couldn't grow in the colder climates in the north. Olive trees flourish in subtropic, hot dry climates.
Until about 500 years ago greece and high climate places were the only places that grew olives Mimir is the smartest man alive but the mind cannot know what it does not know, mimir learned a lot even in the story he claims kratos's legends were over exaggerated which shows he seeks knowledge not is born with the knowledge of everything plus he has a great IQ in piecing thing together he is intelligent but not all knowledgeable
One of my favourite details is how Kratos goes from just tolerating these stories to actively wanting to hear more and even throwing in some of his own from time to time.
I don’t know why, but I never see people talking about how Mimir is puck from Shakespeare’s a Midsummers night dream and in God war, Ragnarok, he’s outright called puck
Probably because Puck is another way of saying Saytr or Fawn, also less people read Shakespeare out of highschool, and Midsummers dream is not the main pick.
@hendryx404 Satyr's are in Greek Myth yeh; Celtic myths also have Satyrs, they are considered Fae Creatures. S'why we got Mister Tumnus in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
It all makes sense. The world serpent was created by Atreus. He grew massively, fought in Ragnarok, and got hit with Thor’s hammer and sent back in time. Mimir told this story in the 2018 version, then it happened in the god of war Ragnarok.
I don’t know who it was at Sony Santa Monica who suggested the game needs a talking head as a travel companion but they need the biggest commendation possible. He not only adds lore and educates you while you play but he’s also pivotal in many big story moments
It's honestly to funny because in the actual mythology there's so little actual reference to mimir. Literally all it actually ammounts too is "mimir was a wise man who odin sought the council of. He later then cut off his head and would refer to it for wisdom still
We need an Amazon Echo type device of Mimir’s head and have it talk with his voice. Me: “Mimir! Turn on the GOW Ragnarok soundtrack Mimir: “Certainly brother!”
I recently replayed god of war and ragnarok and I feel the main themes I see is, in the first one accepting your past and all the mistakes you made and trying to be better, and in ragnarock is after being better, fixing the problems you caused, and while nothing will ever go back to the way it was, you can make things better, no matter how small the change. I really noticed this when you do mimir's favours in svaftalfheim
What's interesting is that Mimir brings up Macbeth. Who are the antagonists of Macbeth? The Witches Three. Who do the Witches Three worship? Hekate. The Greek Goddess of Magic. She's the one who manipulated things.
So often hours long videos bore me out of my mind, but I can listen/watch these videos all day Mimir's actor's voice is so smooth and easy to listen to and the lore of the gods is so interesting, violent and dark but fascinating
@@joeylumbley Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Well then we gonna have fun. Aruther is British. Some of his knights are Welsh. The Isles bring Scottish and Irish myths And there's LANCEALOT who's French.
19:14 Just for context. Dwarves' last names are based on what they are good at doing. Since all dwarves are excellent smithies, "Smith" "Blacksmith" and "Goldsmith" would be redundant last names. Given that background, "Huldra/Hulder" would make more sense if the brothers excelled at fucking forest nymphs... would explain Sindri's hypochondria and aversion to infectious diseases.
Oml I just realised at 52:00 mimir is talking about Macbeth. I thought jt was familiar but it wasn’t until recently when I reread the story did it click!
1:56:45 "So, naw. Fate can eat my sweet cheeks."🤣🤣🤣 Lunda is there to remind everyone life sucks without some humor in it. She's got a point through. Fate is just a fancy way of saying that you give up on controlling your own destiny.😁
It’s interesting when Kratos tells his stories but he changes it slightly, like the king asked a blacksmith to put evils in a box using a flame, which is obviously Zeus asking Hephaestus to trap the evils in Pandora’s box using the Flame of Olympus
The more I listen to this, the more I realise my old man trained me the way Kratos did to Atreus, not the killing ways but the discipline or strictly parenting like him. Me and my father don't see eyes to eyes but these days, his way helps a lot. I love you dad.
49:20 not only did he try but he gave max effort to get away from the blades but everytime he falls asleep if they arent close by, theyll just appear near him . He truly hates them
Imagine being in love with your husband then he curses you with a spell that prevents you from defending yourself from any threats and you can't use magic or blades to defend herself
@@AlastorAltruistGamingohhhh I didn’t know he voiced Armstrong in MGRR… I suppose that’s the mark of a great voice actor, when you can’t tell who it is from roll to roll.
favourites tales: the tale of Bergelmir, Atreus telling Mimir how he "killed" Garm and "revived" Fenrir, and the Riddle of the Three Doors (a spike pit, a dragon, and 2 lions - to remind myself)
@@TifffanyTaylor It wasn't shown in this video, but there's a bit of dialogue when you change Vanaheim to day and night twice back-to-back by summoning the wolves of the sun and moon. Freya asks "what are you doing," and Kratos answers "I... wanted to see the wolves again." 😅
The one thing santa Monica dropped ball is never showing how "mad" Odin is. I was really looking forward to seeing how crazy Odin was but nope. Just an old man with some magic during the boss fight
Just to celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of God of War Ragnarok - here is the SUPERCUT of all Mimir stories in both Ragnarok and God of War 4. Hope it will help you drift off into slumber.
Yippee!!!
I'm sure it will I enjoy that effect🥂🥱
Can you also add the dialogue from Valhalla next plz
Thankee brodr, helps me find rest after a long day of looking for it. Many thanks❤️🏔
😊😅
I love how Kratos goes from calling Mimir “head” to literally breaking Valhalla just for him
He didn't go just for mimir tho
@@Mjl4life_2 Ignorant reply
I mean that's not the original reason why Kratos goes there, but he does continue going there for him.
@@Zeik188they’re talking about a specific thing that happens in Valhalla. When he literally breaks it in order to save him
@@Mjl4life_2read my other reply. He’s talking about a specific thing that happens in Valhalla
I can already tell I’m about to get the BEST SLEEP OF MY LIFE THANKS TO MIMIR
I remember falling asleep listening to the 2018 Dialogues. Listening to Thor's, Oding, Tyr, ects. stories. Man what times.
I legit just fell asleep like 1/3 into 2018 stories. Man do i feel good now
Love how Kratos is always listening even though it seems like he’s not
Whatever will help him with his battle tactics.
We may have reduced amount of puzzles here in the last two games.
But keen eye and his intellect in those areas' proven to be one of his strongest assets. Man's smart.
A lot of times, it's good to just sit and listen.
Let people talk and they may or may not expose themselves.
As a warrior you must be aware of everything which he so perfectly executes
That's character development at its finest, Greek Kratos would've never listened to Mimir's stories.
I would pay too have Mimirs voice actor make audio books. Dude has a voice that somehow hooks your attention, sounds wise and clever
The same voice actor as both Sparatus, the Turian Councillor & Nihlus, Turian Spectre in Mass Effect; Alistair Duncan.
He did the audio book for the first Norse god of war.
"Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical." - Mimir Smartest Man Alive
“BIIIIGGG foot print.”
- Smartest. Man. Alive.
ahh the classic
@@darrenxie3325 "Have you ever tried making conversation with yourself!?"
@FrankandRaul who hasn't 😂
Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats; physical or magical. 😐
6:22 wow you can hear the exact moment kratos figures it out, it lets out a small chuckle before asking again.
Sounded so proud of himself to figure it out lol. Love it.
I mean half of it is him confirming to himself that his suspicion of Freya is justifiable
"The hell's an olive?" -Mimir, Smartest Man Alive
Not gonna lie. I'm on my 7th time listening to this video. It gets a laugh every single time
I'm assuming they weren't aware of olives because they couldn't grow in the colder climates in the north. Olive trees flourish in subtropic, hot dry climates.
Until about 500 years ago greece and high climate places were the only places that grew olives
Mimir is the smartest man alive but the mind cannot know what it does not know,
mimir learned a lot even in the story he claims kratos's legends were over exaggerated which shows he seeks knowledge not is born with the knowledge of everything plus he has a great IQ in piecing thing together he is intelligent but not all knowledgeable
10:05 man I lost it here. Kratos' sheer disbelief and that delivery is the equivalent to our "That's some bullshit".
funny, considering he went back in time already
@@inkedseahearhe used some sort of mirror or something I can't remember
He didn't just get punched so fucking hard time became a matter of opinion
@@an-average-boxhe used the power of the Sisters of Fate
Take a shot for every “Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats Physical or Magical”
Someone's gonna die
I don’t want alcohol poisoning
The only man who could drink that much is mimir himself (or the demoman)
"Hope he's not broken"
I really don't feel like dying
One of my favourite details is how Kratos goes from just tolerating these stories to actively wanting to hear more and even throwing in some of his own from time to time.
"What gets bigger the more you take away?"
-Pulls up the In-game Map
i love fantasizing myself drinking coffee while listening to mimir's stories, its like drinking with an ol' friend
Odin: "Baulder had value"
Mimir: "AYE! BAULDER IS BLESSED WITH INVULNERABILITY TO ALL THREATS, PHYSICAL OR MAGICAL!"
Kratos and Atreus: *We know*
Odin: "Aparently not because he's dead now Mimir!"
😂😂
I don’t know why, but I never see people talking about how Mimir is puck from Shakespeare’s a Midsummers night dream and in God war, Ragnarok, he’s outright called puck
Probably because Puck is another way of saying Saytr or Fawn, also less people read Shakespeare out of highschool, and Midsummers dream is not the main pick.
@@q-tip9962arent satyrs also in greek myth? might just be percy jackson cause i feel like kratos wouldve mentioned that about mimir
@hendryx404 Satyr's are in Greek Myth yeh; Celtic myths also have Satyrs, they are considered Fae Creatures. S'why we got Mister Tumnus in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
He also made reference to MacBeth.
@@WASDLeftClickI was looking for someone else who caught that lmao

We need an Amazon Echo type device of Mimir’s head and have it talk with his voice.
Me: “Mimir! Turn on the GOW Ragnarok soundtrack
Mimir: “Certainly brother!”
i’d love it if they put Mimir as an option for voice commands on Waze/Maps
“Take this exit, brother!” “Well this is a fine mess! Make a u-turn!”
_Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical._
i like that he turns the pages with a spoon lol and when he sees kratos he spits it out
Is it me or did mimir go from self hatred to regret to explanation to accepting himself to optimism in his stories?
I recently replayed god of war and ragnarok and I feel the main themes I see is, in the first one accepting your past and all the mistakes you made and trying to be better, and in ragnarock is after being better, fixing the problems you caused, and while nothing will ever go back to the way it was, you can make things better, no matter how small the change.

Don't let that distract you from the fact that Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical.
Same voice actor as Senator Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising; Alistair Duncan.
I love the moment Mimir speaks of Sigrun and Freya is like "mhm
1:33:23 I get the sense that if they make any games based in the Celtic pantheon that Nymph is going to be playing a role.
She’s the famous Lady of the lake who Forged Excalibur
@@joeylumbley Oh she will DEFINITELY be playing a role.
Hopefully it will mean we will get to wield Excalibur.

1:57:25 there are so many great moments. But that one is a favourite.
30:33 finally a story worth hearing
Oml I just realised at 52:00 mimir is talking about Macbeth. I thought jt was familiar but it wasn’t until recently when I reread the story did it click!
Yeah I caught on the first time I heard it and cause I did Macbeth in highschool
So that's where Mimir comes from then, how interesting.
1:56:45 "So, naw. Fate can eat my sweet cheeks."🤣🤣🤣
Lunda is there to remind everyone life sucks without some humor in it. She's got a point through. Fate is just a fancy way of saying that you give up on controlling your own destiny.😁
BROOO!!!!! Mimir in 53:00 minute talks about "Makbet" I think, it's a book I read on my polish lessons and the story is exactly the same.
30:23 The first story Kratos was interested in 😅
Fell asleep with headphones to this. Was the best nap of my life
21:20 the sound of the brothers forge. Epic after finishing ragnorock
😂😂 oh I can't wait to come back here. Bro Odin is Mimir.
When you arrive to your destination but the story is so interesting that you just pause in the boat
They need to have a Mimir podcast where the voice actor tells tales of the God of War universe as he’s seen so far
I just took the most divine nap to this
“The Hands of Death could not defeat me, the Sisters of Fate could not hold me, and you... will not see the end of this day! I WILL have my revenge”
52:49 “Physical or Magical” as we all say in unison 😂
Thanks for this playlist. It’s actually perfect for sleeping 💤 ❤
You're welcome 😊
It’s interesting when Kratos tells his stories but he changes it slightly, like the king asked a blacksmith to put evils in a box using a flame, which is obviously Zeus asking Hephaestus to trap the evils in Pandora’s box using the Flame of Olympus
14:56
Didn’t realize this was foreshadowing for Atreus at the end of Ragnarok.
Mimir is the original Chat GPT. If I could change the Google assistant voice to Mimir, I would in a heartbeat!
Love every word this man speaks. Such amazing writing
Can't be the only one who hears the opening of the mystery box sound when kratos opens the tablets that Atreus translates.
Omg same. I was waiting for the tune lol
The more I listen to this, the more I realise my old man trained me the way Kratos did to Atreus, not the killing ways but the discipline or strictly parenting like him. Me and my father don't see eyes to eyes but these days, his way helps a lot. I love you dad.
49:20 not only did he try but he gave max effort to get away from the blades but everytime he falls asleep if they arent close by, theyll just appear near him . He truly hates them
Hell yeah! Best thing to listen to when working on art!
1:13:30 Btw this story is about Zeus making pandora's box to house all the evils and made hephasteus encased it in the flames of oylumpus.
I love how mimir knows nimue aka the lady of the lake from his homeland 👌👌👌 i wonder do he know merlin & arthur also
This is what I fall asleep to every night
"Baldur is blessed with the properties of both rubber and gum."
Did you mean glue? 😅
I was thinking of that too the entire time 😂
9:30
Mimir: "Curious..."
Kratos: "What is it?"
Mimir: "Oooh nothin' ta be concerned about."
*NUCLEAR EXPLOSION*
Imagine being in love with your husband then he curses you with a spell that prevents you from defending yourself from any threats and you can't use magic or blades to defend herself
"The hell's an olive?"
Mimir- Smartest man alive😂
Thank you to the person who went through the making of this.
on god or aesir. it is truly entertaining listening to these old and wise character speaking of their experiences like old friends that i really adore
Really good editing here, thank you.
The voice actor did an impressive job with the way Mimir told his story.. as if he is Mimir himself telling his life experience!!
The funny thing is, this is the same voice actor who played as Senator Armstrong. Both him & Mimir are voiced by Alastair Duncan.
@@AlastorAltruistGamingohhhh I didn’t know he voiced Armstrong in MGRR… I suppose that’s the mark of a great voice actor, when you can’t tell who it is from roll to roll.
ill never get over how everything was like "kratos is gonna turn into the world serpent"
god of war theories were so stupid XD
I could sit for hours listening to Mimir tell stories about anything .
This must have taken so long. Great job.
This video is fantastic thank you so much!!
favourites tales: the tale of Bergelmir, Atreus telling Mimir how he "killed" Garm and "revived" Fenrir, and the Riddle of the Three Doors (a spike pit, a dragon, and 2 lions - to remind myself)
What about the tales of Tyr, the mad dwarf king and the rest of Valkyries?
30:38 love when Kratos sounds enthusiastic
52:02 So this means... Mimir was around during the story of Macbeth from Shakespeare
HOLD ON Did Mimir just confirm that MACBETH is a canon event in the GOW Universe? 52:00
I could listen mimic speak for hours … and I did .
Listen to Atreus asking his 2 dads for romantic advice has to be the cutest thing in God of War.
Well if I didn’t know any better I’d say Baldur was blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical.
And if I didn't know any better, I'd almost say that Baldur was Freya's son all along.
1:32:20 "the hell's an olive?" has gotta be on of mimir's funniest lines
Best sleeping time story teller ever
I love Mimir. Favorite character in the game besides Brok and Heimdall
I need a podcast about all of these stories...
story time with mimir is my favorite time
Idk why but I like to listen to these while working on projects. It's more engaging than music, but I don't have to watch it
Shocked to find out Alastair Duncan was married to Anna Gunn who played Skylar on breaking bad.
“There may be a few gaps in my knowledge” - Mimir moments after meeting Kratos.
1:33:16 So Mimir is from Avalon maybe we will visit one day
If seriously get so high, listening to this is amazing
50:14 Kratos "Been there, done that"
9:34 that cutoff was funny to me for some reason 😂
Perfect for bed time 😴
35:51 funny that Mimir says this without knowing what Kratos did
2:22:38 I never got this conversation because you're not supposed to speak with them until you murder gna first and then come back to tell them.
That's sleeping aid for me and the homies
Whoever thought about putting a head on the back of kratos that tells stories and whatever else, that person needs a raise lol.
Mimir & brok carry the world building & vibes so hard.
& Kratos saying, "I too like the axe"
"I like this riddle" 😂
@@TifffanyTaylor It wasn't shown in this video, but there's a bit of dialogue when you change Vanaheim to day and night twice back-to-back by summoning the wolves of the sun and moon. Freya asks "what are you doing," and Kratos answers "I... wanted to see the wolves again." 😅
@echo.romeo. that's funny, I never would've noticed that.
@@TifffanyTaylor Have you played any of the games, Tiffany?
Also, I edit for another channel. Would you like me to make shorts for some of those highlights you've posted? They're pretty dope, to be honest. 😅
Who else is hoping for more stories from Mimir in the next game?? 😄
I want someone to come back to this comment when the next game comes out
@@holdmybeefstew7131maybe we will get a hint at the game awards?
His back in the DLC 👍🏽
@@yusufmac5397 He will get to see Greek monsters as well
Freya:you know, I could’ve beaten you.
Kratos:hmm perhaps…
All G.O.W. Veteran fans:BI!#* PLEASE! HE WOULD smoked and clapped you with “no pause”
Ehhhhhh. Freya is the Norse godess of wisdom, and he never did win against Athena either.
15:07 Did Mimir show Odin the tear that lost him his eye when he peered in?
Thank you for this.
The way Kratos drops humor at 30:36😂
The one thing santa Monica dropped ball is never showing how "mad" Odin is. I was really looking forward to seeing how crazy Odin was but nope. Just an old man with some magic during the boss fight
The intro was awesome. Well done
The tale of Macbeth. So it's now God of War cannon.
You are actually a god for this video
15:23 Dang even in a fantastical world they still got ‘shrooms lol
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MACBETH HOLY CRAP HIGHSCHOOL LITERATURE IS COMING IT CLUTCH 52:07
