Perfectly sums up the journey of Kratos in just a few short words. This scene was perfect, and was the triumphant return of the Godslaying, Titan-killing, Powerful Ghost of Sparta. It was fucking AWESOME
The whole boat ride you get this feeling of impending doom and dread. The sky is bleeding red The winds are furiously shaking the trees The animals are running scared You feel like something terrible is just waiting to happen any moment Like some terrifying monster is about to appear and rain fire and wrath down upon the land. That's when you realize... As he reveals the Blades You've been looking right at him the whole time. "I know. But I am your monster no longer."
@@maliqprosser the effect of kratos's panic - worried - angry.... after kratos punched Modi and mimir said "brother the boy", Kratos then carried atreus but when he was doing so.. his spartan rage is fading slowly.. this was because it was his son who calmed him from the rage... cory stated this in one of his interviews
Athena: “There’s nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: Teacher...husband...father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be...a monster.” (After the Blades Of Chaos light up on fire) Kratos: “I know, but I am your monster no longer.”
This was my very first God Of War. Yet I absolutely understood the significance of this moment and the meaning of the Blades for Kratos, what they stand for, what Athena represented... And I had chills all over my body when Kratos said “I know. But I am your monster no longer.” He is fully aware of what he is. He knows what he did. He knows what he is going to do. Now he doesn’t do it for fate or gods, but for his son. For the one thing that fills his being not with hate but with love and compassion. Thanks Cory Barlog for this masterpiece.
I grew up watching my step dad play the originals. I was too young to be any good at them but I always enjoyed the stories. And when I heard this was coming out I was exited especially since I'm a super into Norse mythology. But seeing the hints to the old story and omg that moment when he says those lines. That where just so amazing. Such an amazing and epic game. I can not wait for the next one
This is my first god of war too.I've been a god of war fan since I was like five without playing any of the game.I used to watch by cousin play and I fell in love with the series.I wanted to play it but father didn't allowed me to play it because the games were too brutal for my age.So, I began watching every game of the series from RUclips.So,I know the story very well.
The weight felt in this scene is immense. Those blades are a constant reminder of the biggest mistake he ever made. A mistake that cost him everything. Turned him into the rage filled monster hell bent on vengeance that dethroned the entire Greek pantheon. Now we see him trying to be better than what he was now having to pick up the bottle he put down years ago to save the only thing that matters to him. Poetic really, the weapons that caused him and others so much pain and tragedy are his sons only hope.
Also, the same burden, the same reminder of Lord Ares and his enslavement, the weapon with which he killed Lysandra and Calliope. It is said that the blades are cursed just as Kratos. Kratos cannot get rid of them, he throws them away and they show up again somewhere close. They're destined to follow Kratos wherever he goes forever. And the fact that Brok said they're special, since nothing in the 9 realms of Norse can create a spark in Helheim and Blades of Chaos does that like a flamethrower, just shows what Ares had given him from the depths of Hades made by Hephaestus.
The very blades he used to kill thousands of innocents in the name of Ares, the same blades he used to kill many beasts and humans alike to get to Pandora's temple.
Playing the game before that trip back home: "Oh so i have to use the axe as the main weapon now. Cool i guess but it's not the same as with the OG weapons" When Freya says that in Hellheim his axe is useless and he needs to find another weapon and then he looks at his hands (where the chains of BoC have been wraped): "No way......they are not going to bring those back...." When BoC are brought back and Kratos uses them once more: "...HOLY SHIT! THIS GAME IS PERFECT!!!'
I only played a bit of 3. But when this theme came up I somehow immediately knew, and I got chills, and almost shed a tear just cause I knew what that moment meant.
As a die-hard fan of the God of war franchise, the moment i saw those blades of chaos return and use them; I was enjoying every moment and second of it. It was honestly the best part of the game. But I felt sympathetic for Kratos as he's regretfully and reluctantly forced to use them to save his son. The feels man!
no, it's something to get emotional since the same blades that killed his family is now needed to save his son. it's so ironic that it makes the blades have a mix of horrible memories and now good ones
This whole chapter.. Freya saying the frostaxe would be useless in Hellheim, Kratos saying: " Then I need to return home, dig up a past I swore to keep buried" (Does he mean the Blades of chaos?!) .. The boatride home where Athena appears (Could it be?!) And then he pulls them from under the floor (Hell yes this is so awesome!!!) Athena: "There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: teacher, husband, father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be a monster" Kratos standing up, the blades returning to former glory in a blaze: "I know. But I am your monster no longer" And then the good old combat WITH the combos we know and love: Square square triangle... This whole sequence was the best moment in gaming in years.
@@S0renz When Brok first saw them he even commented on how he could feel the presence of foreign magic in them. Makes you wonder how other forms of magic work in other realms.
As far as I know, Tyr's not dead, just imprisoned by Odin, who told everyone that he had died (that's what norse mythology says). Just imagine how along Kratos and he could get. They both are "good" gods now and both ars gods of war who have traveled through different realms, AND both want Odin dead.
0:00 As Kratos entered his home, memories of dread and sorrow filled his tarnished soul. What was once a cabin in the forest was now a thing he used to deny and hide his past. What sins and atrocities he committed were buried deep underneath the soil and wood of his new home. What rage and passion once burned inside him was dulled by years of guilt and regret. His son, his only hope to a brighter future was now in danger because of him. How could he be a father after all he's done? He was once a monster, and no amount of time could heal the wounds that scarred him. Physically and mentally. Opening the hatch, he saw a wooden box covered by cloth. Slowly, he reached down and took it. What he was about to do went against everything he swore to abandon. Opening it, black blades glimmered in the rays of sunlight that reached trough the cracks of his home. Hesitation was the only thing that came to him at that moment. But would it be stronger to resist it, or give into it, but use it for good? Feeling the blades, they were still sharp. Horrible memories came back. The echoes of his past reminded how much blood those weapons spilled in their lifetime. Forged from rage and death, their craving for battle never died. Would he be willing to wear them again? Grabbing the black chains, he wrapped them around his arms. This was a feeling he was all too familiar with. The scars on his arms that still bled shivered. Stepping outside, monsters and demons appeared. 2:27 He had enough. Years of suppressing his true feelings and anger had led up to this moment. Gripping the blades tightly until his knuckles turned white, he let out the loud shout of a spartan, and began to slaughter.. He hacked and slashed at everything near him. Monsters, trees, stone, it didn't matter. The rage had been too much. He was unleashing everything he had at everything around him. The ground on which he was standing on was shaking from his aggressive strikes. The earth trembled at the once forgotten rage of the spartan. He was angry at the gods. He was angry at the monsters which attacked him. He was angry at himself for what he once was. With each swing and throw of the burning blades, destruction was imminent. The fire in his heart was back, and nothing was going to stop him. Gritting his teeth, he gripped the blades even tighter and swore on his own life, that he would save his son...
For him to bare such a burden, For his past to haunt him drastically, For the spirit of Athena to shame him, For his past dug from the grave, For his anguish and inner conflict, For the love of his only son, For setting aside and binding old wounds, For wielding his original weapons, For slaying with what the God of War had given him, For reliving the nightmares again, Kratos is doing this all to save his son and to push on as he always had, as his effort and life is sung within this music, magnificent.
@@squashmallow2006 Indeed, in their desperate time of need, even when their life hangs in the balance. There are measures needed to be taken and past mistakes faced to do what is necessary to save the ones you love, especially your children.
@@nicksieben7701 It's also why throughout their journey, Kratos only teaches Atreus to be a good warrior, not a god. A god may use power frivolously. But a warrior must exercise self-control, and discipline. He knows exactly how painful it is to wear those chains again, but this time, he has one specific goal. It's not for glory, not for gratification, or ambition, not for himself. It's to save the one last remnant of his family that still gives him happiness. His son. Let him suffer all his nightmares. But if it means Atreus would live, then so be it.
Exiled God Father's Shame Mother's Hope Wounds Burn Settle the Past This entire chant brings the picture perfect moment. No reworked previous theme could fit in like this one.
@@FrostshadowStudios0310 "man i wish they put the old theme back" yeah I agree with you, Kratos was trying to forget the past and it literally just kills the vibe of a character development.
I honestly felt really happy but really sad when Kratos got the blades back I mean he tried so hard to avoid his past but he was put into a situation where he had to go back to it and it was awesome but heartbreaking as well it truly gave me mixed emotions
Hes Cursed man, thats his fate....i know fate is another lie told by the Gods, Nothing written cannot be unwritten....Sure in part 2 he saw his fate then He doesnt know his fate now.
@@Mr.Scott86 You could also say think the Blade of Chaos is using Kratos' rage as the fuel to the magic that lit the flame. Which is also just as cool.
People get so hyped during this scene. I didn't, I saw Krato's face and understood what this meant for him, he's honestly terrified of becoming the monster he when he used those blades. That's why he, Kratos, the ghost of Sparta, was shaking when he was talking those blades back.
That is part of the reason why people were screaming with hype...... They(real fans) knew what those blades did...... And now what purpose it's going to serve now.....
@@MrBrennanMatt OP has a point. Kratos tried so hard to move on from his past life, to bare memory of the atrocities he did, all the pain, suffering, death, and destruction it caused to everything, including himself. Bringing back the blades, the tormenting memories he desperately tried to suppress return, and return with such a psychological surge that his hands are literally trembling. He is literally going back to his old life. But the moment Athena calls him a monster, Kratos stands up, and accepts who he truly is. He is the God of War, and he will stop at nothing to use the tools of his past that tormented his life, to save his son. In the end, at the top of the mountain in Jotunheim, Kratos finally feels free, as the world now knows the truth of what he is, and he himself accepts WHO he is. He is a monster, he is a father, he is the God of War, but more importantly, he is Kratos.
The game does such a beautiful job setting this moment up. You completely forget about them as you get so used to using the Leviathan Axe. Then you get the Blades and it all comes rushing back. You're playing God of War
The part where he gets the blades from the basement is called Giant's Prayer, it's also played on the dynamic theme. The battle theme also plays on Muspelheim Trial 1.
Me!!! I'm to hyped, I started playing God of war series recently, this series it's something special! You cannot imagine how hyped I am for the new God Of War.
the game is one of the best ever made, let me explain kratos, once full of hate anger and rage, he could kill gods, monsters, titans, nations without even thinking twice the person who killed everything and everybody, the person who works for himself, for revenge on every god at the exact moment where atreus was ill and he needed to save him at that exact moment he would do anything to save him and most important, he begged freya to help him he was on his knees begging a god for help he will use the blades, he swore never to use again he accepts his past what he did what he will do and what he does he used the blades he once killed his wife and daughter to save his son at that moment kratos, the monster changed everything for one person and that person is atreus that was the best and probably the most emotional part of the game for me and believe me, brok said they forged mjolnir and knows what quality is, and the blades are something special, you cant set the power of mjolnir and the BoC at same level now think what would happen if thor or even odin lays hand on atreus he will turn into the monster he once was, but to save and protect his son imagine kratos, full of anger hate and revenge, now fighting for someone that my guys thats the part you need to understand
This whole scene plays a bigger role in Ragnarok, when you defeat King Hrolf. Kratos explains that even weapons with tainted pasts could still be used for good. Their legacies could be rewritten. This was the first step right here. By the end of Ragnarok, he has made peace with the blades and accepted them as they are. Tools, to complete a task.
I just noticed when athena speaks, the foreign sound of Greek harps and tunes interjects the usually norse theme we've grown to be used to. Neat touch for the moment.
top 3 epic moments in the all videogames history 1 god of war 4 - kratos use the blades of chaos 2 metal gear solid sneak eater - boss final battle 3 call of duty 2 - normandy landing
Nice choice wish I had a ps4 have Xbox 1 since it was cheaper also we don't even get enough money to buy it since it is 299 or more too expensive. Xbox one was 120.
First time seeing this scene, Legitimately thought he was going to stab Ghost-Athena on his way out the cabin. The music and atmosphere totally made me forget Kratos has changed.
Am I the only one that associates this theme to the LOTR soundtrack, when they run over the bridge in Moria to escape the Balrog? I knew I recognized the tune from somewhere, and only just made the connection today... not really surprising that Bear would take inspiration from LOTR tbh.
These 2 songs just show how much work was put on everything, backround, animation, modeling, shading and damn even the music, like from the past games I knew it would be good but damn... I didn't expect this
There's no where to hide Spartan, put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing, pretend to be everything you're not... Teacher... Husband... Father... But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: you cannot change, you will always be a monster. I know. But I am your monster no longer
I was very sad when I saw them. Inside them there is a great tragic lore. These blades represent for Kratos pain and more but he has to use the past to saving the present.
"Though i did all i could, though you taught me i could be more, i hid my past, now i need it to save what is dear to me. Truly there is no crueller irony than this" (my thoughts of what Kratos would think when he had to use the blades to save Atreus.)
At 1:00 you can hear the somber tone of the music,almost like you feel Kratos' hesitation of using the Blades but willing to put his past behind to save his son.
Man using those blades again made me feel like an old man. I remember when the music dropped at my first use of the blades I let out the loudest roar in my room and just started going ham with the R1 button laughing like a Villian.
The only reason you feel anything in this scene is simple, music, fantastic body language/acting and animation, also the way the camera moves. It goes to show all these little things add up to make a scene memorable. I knew what the blades of chaos were but I never played the original games at all, only a demo of God of war 3 on ps3 and that was it. But damn I felt everything in this. The way he strokes the blades, the way he puts hand on the gatekeeper after he takes its heart, almost like he’s apologising. You feel the weight of what these blades hold over his soul, he hates them, but needs them. Utterly fantastic. I’ve been playing games since I was 9 on the ps1. And this was the most memorable experience I’ve ever had in game. I’ve played it 5 times already I love it. It’s up there with The Last of Us 1 and dare I say it’s actually better. Well done to everyone who worked on this game. You made a masterpiece and it’s unreasonable to ask for lightning to strike twice (pardon the pun) but man I hope it can with Ragnarok.
Wrong, the only reason why you feel anything in this scene is because it's highlighted as important. If you never played the old ones you're like "oh this must be an important momment", If you have played the old trilogy you know exacly how important it is because you have seen the real Kratos in his deepest, in his peak as a written character. Gow 4 is the weakest of all God of War games in all regards, especially gameplay. The only thing it has more than the old games are graphics.
@@cloudshifternow kraos is a better writer character and the story and emotions were so much better here than just graphics bro, it was better and the weakest one was gow ascension, and what you said is wrong, highlighted as important is absurd, people who played the og trilogy and played this will know about kratos's past and the memories, everything about it, not just highlighted as important
I played god of war 3 for the first time when I was around 12. Fell in love with the game. After going back and playing most of the old series kratos and the blades became one of my favorites in gaming history. And after playing this game years after god of war 3, I could only think one thing when I got the blades again. “Still got it” *cheeky smile*
I honestly love listening to game OST's. And the God of War 4 OST is hands down one of the greatest ones ever made, it tops any of the Halo, Gears of War, and Assassin's Creed OST's. Not to mention it's better than all of the COD soundtracks as well
I've only played the 3rd game but hell back when the game was extremely popular and I saw the blades of chaos, I just couldn't sit still in my room. Hell, I still can't sit still 2 years later.
I just played this part days ago. Just when mimir said have a go with Blade Of Chaos, cracking my thumb and index finger and start do combos. Man it was priceless feeling
The long and the short of this moment: "You will _always_ be a monster," Athena scolded. "I know," Kratos responded with genuine serenity, taming the beast within him, "but I am _your_ monster no longer." An angry yet *composed* Kratos exited his cottage, walking through the specter of Athena. "Alright, brother," Mimir said excitedly, "Let's see what those blades can do!"
@@cosmic2750 just listened to it, and yeah it is badass as well, i think this one cause it sounds more vicious imo whereas the spear sounds more frantic, its a great theme though!

Perfectly sums up the journey of Kratos in just a few short words. This scene was perfect, and was the triumphant return of the Godslaying, Titan-killing, Powerful Ghost of Sparta. It was fucking AWESOME
He needs a father, not a god.
A Ghost Without a Past he has a hell of a father
Its ironically poetic. Kratos uses the very weapons he used to kill his wife and daughter to save his son.

As Kratos entered his home, memories of dread and sorrow filled his tarnished soul. What was once a cabin in the forest was now a thing he used to deny and hide his past. What sins and atrocities he committed were buried deep underneath the soil and wood of his new home. What rage and passion once burned inside him was dulled by years of guilt and regret. His son, his only hope to a brighter future was now in danger because of him. How could he be a father after all he's done? He was once a monster, and no amount of time could heal the wounds that scarred him. Physically and mentally. Opening the hatch, he saw a wooden box covered by cloth. Slowly, he reached down and took it. What he was about to do went against everything he swore to abandon. Opening it, black blades glimmered in the rays of sunlight that reached trough the cracks of his home. Hesitation was the only thing that came to him at that moment. But would it be stronger to resist it, or give into it, but use it for good? Feeling the blades, they were still sharp. Horrible memories came back. The echoes of his past reminded how much blood those weapons spilled in their lifetime. Forged from rage and death, their craving for battle never died. Would he be willing to wear them again? Grabbing the black chains, he wrapped them around his arms. This was a feeling he was all too familiar with. The scars on his arms that still bled shivered. Stepping outside, monsters and demons appeared.
2:27
He had enough. Years of suppressing his true feelings and anger had led up to this moment. Gripping the blades tightly until his knuckles turned white, he let out the loud shout of a spartan, and began to slaughter..
He hacked and slashed at everything near him. Monsters, trees, stone, it didn't matter. The rage had been too much. He was unleashing everything he had at everything around him. The ground on which he was standing on was shaking from his aggressive strikes. The earth trembled at the once forgotten rage of the spartan. He was angry at the gods. He was angry at the monsters which attacked him. He was angry at himself for what he once was. With each swing and throw of the burning blades, destruction was imminent. The fire in his heart was back, and nothing was going to stop him. Gritting his teeth, he gripped the blades even tighter and swore on his own life, that he would save his son...
Holy fuck I just got chills all over my body, thanks man for this beautiful comment
that's deep. Deeper than the darkest pits of Tarturus
Read this in my head using Gaia’s voice
You simply wrote the entire "HOLY BIBLE"
Damn
My whole body trembled when Kratos walk away,I never forget this moment
For him to bare such a burden,
For his past to haunt him drastically,
For the spirit of Athena to shame him,
For his past dug from the grave,
For his anguish and inner conflict,
For the love of his only son,
For setting aside and binding old wounds,
For wielding his original weapons,
For slaying with what the God of War had given him,
For reliving the nightmares again,
Kratos is doing this all to save his son and to push on as he always had, as his effort and life is sung within this music, magnificent.
It's like Kratos said, "Only a parent can understand." You'd be willing to relive your worst nightmares ten times over for your kids.
@@squashmallow2006 Indeed, in their desperate time of need, even when their life hangs in the balance. There are measures needed to be taken and past mistakes faced to do what is necessary to save the ones you love, especially your children.
@@nicksieben7701 It's also why throughout their journey, Kratos only teaches Atreus to be a good warrior, not a god. A god may use power frivolously. But a warrior must exercise self-control, and discipline. He knows exactly how painful it is to wear those chains again, but this time, he has one specific goal. It's not for glory, not for gratification, or ambition, not for himself. It's to save the one last remnant of his family that still gives him happiness. His son. Let him suffer all his nightmares. But if it means Atreus would live, then so be it.
Exiled God
Father's Shame
Mother's Hope
Wounds Burn

This entire chant brings the picture perfect moment. No reworked previous theme could fit in like this one.
And yet, there are still bozos who want "Ekdikisi, Lytrosi" or "Kratos, Thymos, Tha ton skotolos"
Excuse my mediocre Greek.
@@FrostshadowStudios0310 "man i wish they put the old theme back" yeah I agree with you, Kratos was trying to forget the past and it literally just kills the vibe of a character development.
I honestly felt really happy but really sad when Kratos got the blades back I mean he tried so hard to avoid his past but he was put into a situation where he had to go back to it and it was awesome but heartbreaking as well it truly gave me mixed emotions
Hes Cursed man, thats his fate....i know fate is another lie told by the Gods, Nothing written cannot be unwritten....Sure in part 2 he saw his fate then He doesnt know his fate now.
@@osmanisanchez5248 His fate is written by the writers. Thank god they didn't fuck us up.
@@themaskedmortal3561 lmao true true
Instead of running from his past, he accepted it.
But at least this time he uses the blades for a good purpose, to save his son.

Is that illusion ? I think it's the real Athena
Beats me, spartan.
@@meidy3795 actually mimir didn't see her. And Kratos said to her to get out of his head... it seems very illusionary.
@@Pleasureischaos Maybe in spirit form,where only Kratos and Greek gods power were connected so the others non Greek gods couldn't see them
I’ve always had the theory that the flames don’t burn with Greek magic but with Kratos’ rage manifesting into fiery explosions
Never thought about that and it makes sense actually. Good theory.
It's a cool theory but one of the blue dwarf said "you reek of foriegn magic"
@@Mr.Scott86 You could also say think the Blade of Chaos is using Kratos' rage as the fuel to the magic that lit the flame. Which is also just as cool.
@@navalends8968 that makes sense and sounds really cool
@@Mr.Scott86 Kratos himself is foreign...
When I got up to acquiring the blades of chaos and using them against the Hel-Walkers, one thing was on my mind: The Norse Realm is totally screwed.

@@GKPB its a twist from the other god of war music
@@emanuelarriaza3710 Wow really which one? Never noticed it before, and I hear the old OST all the time xD
@@KinoDarkvall79 This is sort of a spin off version of "Overture" which is also in this game. BUT "Overture" was originally in God Of War 3.
More like legit badassery
Anyone half-expect Kratos to angrily say: "Get. Off. My lawn." when he stepped out?
Nah?
Jus' me?
Aight.
i said that to the helwalkers lol
He's saving that for when Thor shows up
get out me swamp
Ah yes. Krek, the Ogre of War.
People get so hyped during this scene. I didn't, I saw Krato's face and understood what this meant for him, he's honestly terrified of becoming the monster he when he used those blades. That's why he, Kratos, the ghost of Sparta, was shaking when he was talking those blades back.
That is part of the reason why people were screaming with hype...... They(real fans) knew what those blades did...... And now what purpose it's going to serve now.....
Wow you’re edgy
It's a relic, good or bad it's still a piece of history to the ones who played the og GoW games
@@MrBrennanMatt OP has a point. Kratos tried so hard to move on from his past life, to bare memory of the atrocities he did, all the pain, suffering, death, and destruction it caused to everything, including himself.
Bringing back the blades, the tormenting memories he desperately tried to suppress return, and return with such a psychological surge that his hands are literally trembling. He is literally going back to his old life.
But the moment Athena calls him a monster, Kratos stands up, and accepts who he truly is. He is the God of War, and he will stop at nothing to use the tools of his past that tormented his life, to save his son.
In the end, at the top of the mountain in Jotunheim, Kratos finally feels free, as the world now knows the truth of what he is, and he himself accepts WHO he is. He is a monster, he is a father, he is the God of War, but more importantly, he is Kratos.
@@ilikewindows3455 Yeah but Kratos never wanted to accept the throne of God of war tho but still he got it.
best music of the game
🤔😎
Deliverance is the best souns track
Its just a rip off of the unfead pirates them from curse of the black pearl
Listen the end begins
@@noryamz5062 this is still better
The game does such a beautiful job setting this moment up. You completely forget about them as you get so used to using the Leviathan Axe. Then you get the Blades and it all comes rushing back. You're playing God of War

There this thing called audiomack just search up a monster no longer
"I know
But I'M YOUR MONSTER NO LONGER" best line ever
The part where he gets the blades from the basement is called Giant's Prayer, it's also played on the dynamic theme.
The battle theme also plays on Muspelheim Trial 1.

That's where I heard this before, I knew I heard it during musphelheim....good looking out! This was driving me crazy trying to find it.
Thank you!

I dont want to assume, but this is greek correct? if not what language is it? Because this singing with heavy minor chords stimulates me
@@oddballtherighteous6681 This is the language of Norway, a beautiful and powerfull language.
the game is one of the best ever made, let me explain
kratos, once full of hate anger and rage, he could kill gods, monsters, titans, nations
without even thinking twice
the person who killed everything and everybody, the person who works for himself, for revenge
on every god
at the exact moment where atreus was ill and he needed to save him
at that exact moment he would do anything to save him
and most important, he begged freya to help him
he was on his knees begging a god for help
he will use the blades, he swore never to use again
he accepts his past
what he did
what he will do
and
what he does
he used the blades he once killed his wife and daughter to save his son
at that moment kratos, the monster changed
everything for one person
and that person is atreus
that was the best and probably the most emotional part of the game for me
and believe me,
brok said they forged mjolnir and knows what quality is, and the blades are something special,
you cant set the power of mjolnir and the BoC at same level
now think what would happen if thor or even odin lays hand on atreus
he will turn into the monster he once was, but to save and protect his son
imagine kratos, full of anger hate and revenge, now fighting for someone
that my guys
thats the part you need to understand
"Return my son, or you may meet the god I once was."
This whole scene plays a bigger role in Ragnarok, when you defeat King Hrolf. Kratos explains that even weapons with tainted pasts could still be used for good. Their legacies could be rewritten. This was the first step right here. By the end of Ragnarok, he has made peace with the blades and accepted them as they are. Tools, to complete a task.
You can hear the pain in the lyrics, his sorrow and agony. Holding the blades once more.
I just noticed when athena speaks, the foreign sound of Greek harps and tunes interjects the usually norse theme we've grown to be used to. Neat touch for the moment.
Athena: "You will always be... A MONSTER"
Kratos: *voice falters* "I know"
Athena "..."
Kratos: "But I am your monster no longer..."
top 3 epic moments in the all videogames history
1 god of war 4 - kratos use the blades of chaos
2 metal gear solid sneak eater - boss final battle
3 call of duty 2 - normandy landing
Played this game for the first time this year, it was my first god of war game and it was fantastic
You should play the previous one too, it is one of the most fantastic game in God of war series.
Someone help me, I'm getting a lot of goosebumps.

1:03 to 1:20 is very catchy
Kratos is so badass even his weapons have a Song

“Alright brother, let’s see what those blades can do.”
For all the wars and battles Kratos had fought...This was the most toughest fight yet.
2:28 a right brotha let´s see what those blades can do
at that moment i said to mimir, "Watch me"
"There's one truth you can never escape. You will never change. You will always be a monster."
- Athena
"I am what the gods have made me!"
Or
"I owe you nothing!"
"I know. But I am your monster no longer."
- Kratos
@@Rainman1_2 then the norse gods soiled them selves
First time seeing this scene, Legitimately thought he was going to stab Ghost-Athena on his way out the cabin. The music and atmosphere totally made me forget Kratos has changed.
Am I the only one that associates this theme to the LOTR soundtrack, when they run over the bridge in Moria to escape the Balrog? I knew I recognized the tune from somewhere, and only just made the connection today... not really surprising that Bear would take inspiration from LOTR tbh.
@Anton chugah Licker Sauron: no man can kill me

"I am what the gods have made me!"
The point of this game was showing that line was always bullshit.
Athena:You will always be a MONSTER
Kratos: I am your MONSTER no longer
God of War 2
God of war 2 .... when he slaps athena’s statue with his blades .... damn i have a good memory
1:00 finding out that ur last slice of cake eaten by your dad

These 2 songs just show how much work was put on everything, backround, animation, modeling, shading and damn even the music, like from the past games I knew it would be good but damn... I didn't expect this
I hope 5th game releases soon! I feel that Spartan Rage in my bones
Either 2020 or 2021 Santa Monica said maybe 2019 but playstation won't be at e3 this year.
Friendly reminder that the 5th game will likely be the end of Kratos. The prophecy foretells it.
@@ibdgonzo I know even though I don't have a ps4 (too expensive) it will happen I can feel it and thanks for the confirmation(not sarcasm).
IBD Gonzo
Kratos won’t die as he always comes back.
Armando Gexcior dude survives a massive gaping hole in the chest and they think some fancy magic Norse spells will kill the lad
There's no where to hide Spartan, put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing, pretend to be everything you're not... Teacher... Husband... Father... But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: you cannot change, you will always be a monster. I know. But I am your monster no longer
I was very sad when I saw them. Inside them there is a great tragic lore.
These blades represent for Kratos pain and more but he has to use the past to saving the present.
This theme is testosterone af
Christopher Judge needed a hug after doing this scene.
Just saw the GOW 5 trailer. I fucking love this franchise.
"Though i did all i could, though you taught me i could be more, i hid my past, now i need it to save what is dear to me. Truly there is no crueller irony than this" (my thoughts of what Kratos would think when he had to use the blades to save Atreus.)
Alexa intruder alert

When i see my beloved blade of chaos
All the memory of L1 Square rushing in
At 1:00 you can hear the somber tone of the music,almost like you feel Kratos' hesitation of using the Blades but willing to put his past behind to save his son.
Man using those blades again made me feel like an old man. I remember when the music dropped at my first use of the blades I let out the loudest roar in my room and just started going ham with the R1 button laughing like a Villian.
The only reason you feel anything in this scene is simple, music, fantastic body language/acting and animation, also the way the camera moves. It goes to show all these little things add up to make a scene memorable. I knew what the blades of chaos were but I never played the original games at all, only a demo of God of war 3 on ps3 and that was it.
But damn I felt everything in this. The way he strokes the blades, the way he puts hand on the gatekeeper after he takes its heart, almost like he’s apologising. You feel the weight of what these blades hold over his soul, he hates them, but needs them. Utterly fantastic. I’ve been playing games since I was 9 on the ps1. And this was the most memorable experience I’ve ever had in game. I’ve played it 5 times already
I love it. It’s up there with The Last of Us 1 and dare I say it’s actually better. Well done to everyone who worked on this game. You made a masterpiece and it’s unreasonable to ask for lightning to strike twice (pardon the pun) but man I hope it can with Ragnarok.
Very well said 👏
Wrong, the only reason why you feel anything in this scene is because it's highlighted as important. If you never played the old ones you're like "oh this must be an important momment",
If you have played the old trilogy you know exacly how important it is because you have seen the real Kratos in his deepest, in his peak as a written character. Gow 4 is the weakest of all God of War games in all regards, especially gameplay. The only thing it has more than the old games are graphics.
@@cloudshifternow kraos is a better writer character and the story and emotions were so much better here than just graphics bro, it was better and the weakest one was gow ascension, and what you said is wrong, highlighted as important is absurd, people who played the og trilogy and played this will know about kratos's past and the memories, everything about it, not just highlighted as important
The opening moments of just the string instruments give me chills every single time.
Kratos in that scene:
"Get. Off. My lawn"
Veterans grabbing their service rifle while an intruder is looting their home downstairs
When I played this master piece and saw this moment, I almost cried of emotion!!!
I played god of war 3 for the first time when I was around 12. Fell in love with the game. After going back and playing most of the old series kratos and the blades became one of my favorites in gaming history. And after playing this game years after god of war 3, I could only think one thing when I got the blades again.
“Still got it” *cheeky smile*
I honestly love listening to game OST's. And the God of War 4 OST is hands down one of the greatest ones ever made, it tops any of the Halo, Gears of War, and Assassin's Creed OST's. Not to mention it's better than all of the COD soundtracks as well
1:03 when it kicks in...
Ahhhhhhhh... Mai gawd
Also thats basicly when youre hungry and then find a bag of sweets
I've only played the 3rd game but hell back when the game was extremely popular and I saw the blades of chaos, I just couldn't sit still in my room.
Hell, I still can't sit still 2 years later.
You should play GoW 1.
Bear McCreary knocked it out of the park. Everyone involved brought their A Game.
I just played this part days ago. Just when mimir said have a go with Blade Of Chaos, cracking my thumb and index finger and start do combos. Man it was priceless feeling
2:27 broke the controller for how much I was high
"I must return home."
Dig up the past I swore would stay burried
2:27 this part i goosebumps right here. (also the entire track too)
The blades of chaos forged in the depths of Hades (God of war 1 reference)
The long and the short of this moment:
"You will _always_ be a monster," Athena scolded. "I know," Kratos responded with genuine serenity, taming the beast within him, "but I am _your_ monster no longer." An angry yet *composed* Kratos exited his cottage, walking through the specter of Athena. "Alright, brother," Mimir said excitedly, "Let's see what those blades can do!"
Oh, thanks for the heart and the thumbs up!

Thank you this is epic
i think in all of the Gow games including ragnarok, this has to be my favourite theme, it just makes me feel so powerful
I would argue the Draupnir theme does a better job at making you feel badass, but yeah this is very very awesome too I don't disagree.
@@cosmic2750 just listened to it, and yeah it is badass as well, i think this one cause it sounds more vicious imo whereas the spear sounds more frantic, its a great theme though!
