You know, this kind of makes Odin a tragic character, then. His actions, while reprehensible, were born out of fear. A fear that - if your theory in this video happened to hold any weight - Athena instilled in Odin. I find that intriguing. What other god king was infected with fear after Pandora's Box was opened? Zeus.
He is tragic, such an amazing villain that calling him a villain feels like a crime. But much like Zeus, they way they handled their fear, they used their God king status to abuse their families, murder and imprison innocents in hopes to avoid prophecies, all for their own wants and wishes. This i believe was their downfalls, they're just horrible kings who's castles fell long before Kratos brought em down
Like she’s literally hunting the gods instilling fear in them something that technically a god isn’t supposed to have. Very interesting
@@arciere9986 Yeah, we can't forget that long before Kratos showed up Odin was still up to some bad shit, like we can't forget what he did to Mimir and the fact he relished in Mimir's torture
a leader amongst gods turned in a mad one, yup smells like ATHENAAAA!!!!!
Yes a good theory. What I noticed doesn't have anything to do with this theory. I did however notice how similar it is in appearance to the wooden mask in Skyrim which when worn transports you to a time before the area around was destroyed. Also similar to the wooden mask from the movie The Mask with Jim Carrey. If I remember correctly it belonged to a god of mischief... Loki in the original Norse mythology was such a god. Probably nothing but, just thought I'd mention it. Perhaps all wood masks are alike.
The idea of Gefjon being another name for Athena reminded me of something funny. When the Romans learned about the Norse Gods, they thought Odin was Hermes (Mercury). Would love to see the in-universe Odin's reaction to that idea.
That would be hilarious
odin is actually a mix of hermes/athena/zeus
why do people wanna see character reactions so bad
@@mintexsama4612 Why do people like complaining so much
They also thought Moloch was Cronos.
Truth be told, this gives me another idea for God of War. What if Athena was secretly manipulating other gods from beyond the grave, using them in a way to either help Kratos or get back at him. First Odin, then Amun Ra and Amaterasu
She’s selfish. She doesn’t want anyone reaching her power level. She would be working against Kratos.
No doubt she is, she’s pulling all the strings, and brought Kratos to Norse. I’m guessing she’s still pissed about not getting the power of hope and is building a strong soldier similar to Ares to kill Kratos
@@Deimos-rj7kltrue i think shes the one who dragged kratos with The two wolves in norse
I like the idea that Athena is the one responsible for malipulating the events of the story and if they make another game in the future i just hope that they make her a boss or something shes the true villian behind it all also since the plain of existence is a thing i just hope they go more into detail with that as well
I hope so too
@abdbay and I heard rumors that there might be another game within the works or a dlc for ragnorok if so I can't wait

Smokin!!
Athena being Gefjon makes sense because it follows a pattern that has been established in both norse games:
When a character from one mythology travels to another, they take the role of a character from that new mythology. For example.
Kratos was from Greece. He travels to Scandinavia and there he is known as Farbauti by the giants, which turns out to be the name of Loki’s father in the mythology.
Mimir originally was “Puck”, from Arthurian legends. He was from Scotland/United Kingdom. Once he travelled to Scandinavia, he took the role of Mimir, from Norse Mythology.
So Athena somehow ended up in norse mythology, and “took the mantle” of Gefjon.
This makes me wonder, if Atreus starts traveling to other mythologies, will he become the trickster figure of each one he passes by? Because almost every mythology has a Loki, a chaotic being, a liar, a trickster.
true. the greeks just somehow replaced some of the norse people in gow series lol. But i guess this is normal cuz even in greek saga, Kratos took Ares' throne as the God of War
Your mistake is thinking that lies and deception are only the tools of someone who is bad, they can also use them for good.
Odin is much more Loki than Loki himself, Odin is the one that lie and trick people (Tyr is a big example)
See Odin's obsession of the mask makes us obsessed with it as we all are very skeptical on what was in the rift
For me it's just that they barely acknowledged it, there was greek in the mask and they don't even comment on it.
@@ej4458wait really?
@@laMONKE. yeah! atreus even says a greek word when he first reads the mask in front of odin. He says "obsidiani spitha" which is greek yet its just brushed over. Then there's other languages like Egyptian and Japanese on it, none of it explored. The mask just ended up being a macguffin.
This is the most solid and reliable theory about God of War Ragnarok I've heard so far.
Glad i could help man great video as always❤.
🙌🏼❤️
@@abdbayRome is being built, the final chapter in gow, I believe that to be cause it makes sense, Roman and Greek gods are mostly the same except the names, and that would be a great way to end the story, like a full circle, Kratos seeing his Greek family again
And all of that, hidden in plane sight.
I know!!
Plain.
But to Athena be a ghost when she was in nordic realm, that has to be after GoW2. The mask is older than that at least.. right? And Athena became bad because of pandora's box, right?
A half giant god like Thor was able to knock the world serpent back into the past. I imagine transcending to a higher plane of existence allows you to wade through time and space.
It would be awesome if Athena comes back as a major threat and the only way to stop her is by using his time-travel window that he has in God of war 3. He would probably have to face off against the younger more vengeful Kratos or maybe they could team up to take down the gods for good.
S tier idea
Yeah, we need more og kratos interactions
I don't think he could time travel now, since all magic he had have vanished after his world is destroyed. This was explained in GOW 2018 if I remember correctly.
@@m.mmotivationnnnsurvivor7151 Anything is possible, with the new expansion they brought back Helios, parts of Greece and a good portion of old baddies... I think Kratos still has those powers. The one he released to the world was hope, but he never lost it himself, or at least if he did, Faye made him remember he still has it beneath his guilt.
@@Ozzywozzythey arent back though, Valhalla brought those from his memories, and i dont think you can take things out (not looking at the master/spirit things because i found those more spiritual then physical)
the intro is so good
Thanks!!
@@abdbaydo u have a longer version of it or something?
When Odin told to Atrea about the rift and the mysterious Godlike figure with the cosmic energy flowing through the figure and staring him, it reminds me about when Sauron revealed himself to Gandalf, to Radacast and to Galadriel in the Hobbit.
Interesting comparison
Well there is one problem tho... Mimir knows who Athena is, here is a line from 2018 God of War: "And I always knew you were Greek, Athena? Dead giveaway."
Knowing about her doesnt change that it very likely could be her influencing events. Especially if shes disguised herself
Knowing a name, doesnt mean he knew her appearance, especially after her death. He would have no reason to believe she was still alive after Kratos said she died. Gefjon was seemingly living, even if a ghost, in the Norse world. Making her an unlikely candidate to be Gefjon logically given what he knew of the two characters.
You might know someone's history, but when you meet that person disguised and appearing as someone else you get fooled
Athena is (I’m assuming) a Greek name lol
@@SmartAss4123 and someone being “the Norse equivalent of Athena” doesn’t mean they’re the actual Athena.
I mean... Artemis is a virgin matron goddess too, Daughter of Zeus. Sister to Apollo, goddess of the hunt. She also has an aethereal appearance due to being the moon goddess. If any Greek god could track him across realms like that it would be her. I also don't recall him killing her or Apollo because they chose Helios as the god of the sun instead because of name recognition. It's just a thought. Not a bad theory but there's a few flaws here and there. Still interesting though.
That's indeed interesting!
It's a great way to intriduce them in future games
Theres something drawn in nefilheim's ruin when atreus is with thor , a strange ghostly figure with a mask and at the core of it theres what looks like an owl (like athena's symbol) and also kratos's axe is drawn there fore some reason.
@@Theoryus636 bro i need to see this if u have a pic thats an important evidence imo
@@ahmadbaalbaki6711 i'll need to reach that level again in ng+ , but if you want to see it look at the drawings that are on the walls not the pillars and you will find one of the figures looks off like no hands or legs just ghostly and look at the centre of it you'll find what looks like an owl.
One major flaw, even if most is true, there is no evidence of Athena actually creating the mask. Especially when if you pay attention there is references that the mask is older than Kratos. Which dosen't debunk Athena using it but puts a plot hole into the theory.
It’s never stated that the mask is older than Kratos, just the rift, the mask was most likely made later.
@@abdbay we don't know if the mask was made by Athena or already existed when Athena ascended. I mean Athena isn't a craftsmen, she isn't known for making items, which dosen't help the idea that she made it. Actually she is known more to use items others made over making anything. I.E. Aphestus making all the Greek gods weapons and armor, due to their lack of creativity and skill in doing so themselves. And then we have weaker replica of the Blades of Chaos that Athena gave Kratos. It's quickly becomes clear that they are not equal, and appreance wise are nothing more than a nockoff of the Blades of Chaos. Making a lack of skill evident and a lack of creativity very in your face.
@@entgan where is stated that the blades of athena are weaker than blades of chaos ?
@@abdbay If you look in the nfilheim ruins when your with thor theres a ghostly figure whith possibly a mask and at its core is an owl( athena's symbol) , that could mean something,
And also for some reason an axe that looks like kratos's is drawn in there as well.
how dfq yall have time for this
I think it makes sense when he says I looked in and something looked back, if odins one of the strongest gods that probably means no one from this pantheon has risen to a higher plane could it have been Athena staring back at him?
I love how Santa Monica told us players that Ragnorok is the conclusion of the Norse saga, when in reality we all feel that all the knots were not tied and if this theory is correct, that must be the biggest plot in gaming history.
Here is my theory athena will want to use every big leader in any pantheon kratos visits to be in control of everything she uses the mask to control odin just like sgr used the masked warrior prophecy
To make kratos kиll the kind of a pantheon
Yea maybe she is clearing the way for Christ
@@avery11123 probably not because she wants to control everything i think christ woth the help of kratos will kиll athena
@@belikovdimitri2251
Maybe. I think Jehovah himself will help Kratos instead rather than Jesus.
I would like to see that, but I’m expecting Izanagi from Japanese mythology to find a way to find a way to break out of her control. In fact, I think that, if there was any Japanese Kami who would be affected by Athena’s control, it would have to be Amaterasu (because she’s one of the strongest and well known), Susano’o (who is basically Japanese Thor but with temper tantrums), or Izanami (Izanagi’s wife and sister who basically controlled the underworld after dying). I mostly expect Izanagi to be fine because, I mean, the dude destroyed the Japanese underworld with three peaches and won.
Honestly when you’re describing the characteristics of the silent matron it seems to fit Artemis more. With her army of female warriors, they hunt for the thrill of battle. They swear off all men in trade for immortality unless defeated in battle. Artemis specifically encourages females to swear off any love to any man. The hunt is all that is needed. Seeing as how Athena is only a shade of herself thanks to Zeus, but we never really found out what happened to Artemis during the GOW series. It would more likely be her
I've said it many times, Athena is and has always been the main villain of God of War. Even if she is rarely at the forefront of what's happening she is usually manipulating things from the background.
Agreed. Most of God of War 3 wouldn’t have happened without her. Kratos always wanted Zeus dead, but it was never 100%. Athena made it 100%.
I think some of this might be true, I think “Great Gefjon’s Ghost” more refers to the Odin having killed Gefjon to retrieve the mask, instead of Athena having a being the same god in a different land. Because bare in mind for Mimir to know that Odin had the mask he would still have to have been free and an ambassador to him. Meaning that this was atleast 109 winters ago.
It could also be an equivalent to something like "Mother of God" even though the judeo-christian God doesn't have a mother.
Yes, but Kratos had been residing in Midgard with Faye Long before the GOW4 Story takes place. However, they definitely make it sound like Odin found the mask long ago when Mimir said it was The Great Passion of Odin's Life which makes me think he found it even before Kratos had left Greece.
Let’s not forget that when Atreus is translating the Mask scriptures he reads obsidiani spitha and that’s Greek … it makes you think
There's only one problem with this theory, Mimir never pointed out Athena's presence whatsoever in 2018. We know he can see things behind his head with multiple examples, so he must've been able to see and especially hear her on the travel to get the blades of chaos.
My dude if this is "concrete" to you never build a bridge.
1. Google brings her up because the word "silent" appears on the wikipedia page along with "matron" neither of which are said together.
2. She is more often "glossed" by Diana but gloss' many godesses.
3. The timeline just doesn't match up.
4. Its described as a primordial artifact.
Finally I leave you a quote form Matt Sophos: "Yes, there is backstory to the mask and the fact that it had Greek (1st piece), ancient Japanese (2nd piece), and Egyptian (3rd piece), is part of its story. But-as you pointed out-what the mask is (versus what it represents to our characters) isn’t ultimately what’s important."
Me when i saw Athena in GOW 2018: Hey green whats ur problem green?
If this is true, kratos probably is also older than odin in gow
Most likely.
And here, as an actual Greek, I thought it was the Goddess Hecate. You know the Greek Goddess associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, witchcraft, the Moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery. Rather than a War Goddess. She is also known as the Mother of Angels and the Cosmic World Soul.
This makes ALOT of sense
There are more Goddesses that are a Silent Matron besides Athena, I think this was just a reach. Also how would have she gotten to a new realm when her powers were with her homeland that was destroyed. If she could have done that wouldn’t the other Gods have done the same thing?
BUT SHES THE ONLY MATRON WHO IS A GHOST
@@abdbay she can be a Ghost but how did she even get to where Kratos is..because what we saw in the first game was just her in his head. She didn’t make the mask
@@abdbay
Nice all caps. 😂😂😂
Nice theory but Athena did not make the mask. The mask has been around since the dawn of time. GOW creators even said so…
That was the rift not the mask
Nie rozumiesz@@abdbay
What are the chances, Athena planed was never eliminate Odin from reaching higher plane of existance (because, she knew he will never reach there cos he is piece of sh**) but instead it was to stop Kratos from reaching higher plane of existance (to keep her dominance there) and her plan was successfull as predicted by Gaints by Loki killing Kratos at the end of ragnarock and storing his sol in the ball (so kratos never reach higher plan). But kratos bieng kratos broke the prophacy and distryoyed Athena's plan.
It also changes the context of one of the most important parts in god of war 2018, when Kratos gets the blades, and he says “I know, but I’m your monster no longer” which makes that line so painful for Kratos as he is still being used by Athena as a monster to eliminate her threats
It's scary how much sense this makes. And the fact that she's willing to sacrifice any Pantheon to rise to power is just crazy to me. But as you said it all kind of fits
Amazing vid dude keep it up! Bro I have question if you don’t mind me asking are from the UAE?
Close! I'm from Oman.
The edit in the beginning is absolutely golden ❤️
Fun fact did you know the demos is actually the child of Aries so that means kratos killed his brother father and Zeus was his dad And is the ultimate love affairThat’s probably why Zeus knew that kratos or Deimos could kill him because they were literally half gods one was the son of ares and the other the son of Zeus
Hahahaha, I’m pretty sure you’re referring to the accurate mythology, which God of War did not adapt accurately lolz.
What if Odin can ressurect himself beacuase Hugin survived the Ragnarök? And after spying on Atreus.
Think it'll be hard to resurrect him when his actual soul is destroyed. Sindri was out for blood, so while it may have looked like he just smashed the marble, he probably did so in a way that would've ensured that Odin was gone for good. He's had some experience with this in bringing Brok back to life
@@leo_8492 Good point, but why Santa Monica Studio keeping Hugin alive? For what? It might be interesting if Hugin bought their trust through manipulation and end up bringing Odyn's alive somehow. Like that Odin can urge another pantheon against Kratos and join forces. Thid could be interesting sequence of events for next game.
PS. Is not true that Hugin have the part of Odin's Soul?
@@_LIKE_A_BOSSAll four parts of odin’s soul were clearly seen to have been taken by atreus and destroyed by sindri.
Possibly the mask was the reason Kratos came to this realm with her. That's why Athena was the only Greek God to appear to Kratos in the real world.
Alternative ending: Atreus puts on the mask and looks through the portal and sees a giant Ibis walking around in a library. The ibis turns around and reveals himself to be the Egyptian God THOTH! and ask Atreus what he would like to know.
this theory is so good
I’m glad you think so!!
i even love watching all your theory videos @@abdbay
This plays into something Ive been wondering about the series. WHAT EXACTLY created the gods and the world. They all have different creation stories WHILE also all being true. And the one constant among them all is humanity is present. Gods exist, but theyre different gods. Monsters, but different monsters. Only humanity is the same across all the different mythologies. But those mythologies are true. So where did all the pantheons come from? Why is the rift, mask, and ascended Athena green? Why is Athena the only "ghost god"? Is there an afterlife for gods? Why is Kratos at the center of all of it? There's so many questions about this universe that I need answered
I do not want to ruin anything but that could have lasted like 10 seconds.
Athena = Goddess of Wisdom > Gods and Mortals go on a Journey to Perceive , Understand, Grasp, Acquire < Wisdom
The Olympians had the Mediterranean and the Asguardians had the Scandinavian regan, the Immortals of China and the Shinto deities had the east
is it also possible that the silent matron could refer to the statues Athena spoke to kratos through? a statue is usual statue and depicts athena as she was; the goddess of battle wisdom. Maybe she had one of her statues kept in a place she knew Odin would eventually find, maybe adored in more nordic clothing, baring the mask on its face.
There is also a matter of time placement. What time did Athena give Odin the mask? how does it tie into the time between Kratos leaving greece to when he goes to scandinavia?
Right but im also thinking is she even restrained by time wherever she is!!
Like appearing outa rifts and being with infinite knowledge ( assuming that is her voice in the rift) makes you think about the extent of her reach.
But didn't Athena stay in the greak world and it sounds like Odin was obsessed with the mask long before Athena died
This is circumstantial evidence at best until the God of War writers confirm that the Silent Matron is Athena; but well done on creating a potential reason as to how Athena is still around doing her thing. 👍👍👍
Sparta is a place that's why its capitalised. Mimir couldn't see Athena, he says so a little later on. So how would he see her ghostly state.
would be realy great if its true but i dont expect Santa Monica to have such deep thoughts about their own game as the fans have
If only Loki could have put on the mask and looked into the rift, then it was by Athena's design. Loki could have been irreparably changed or taken away from Kratos--a surefire way for Athena to get her revenge on the Spartan and make him a monster again.
even in death, Athena still wanted to piss Kratos off.
You really blow my mind brother , great explanation and im convinced that athena is the main reason
guys... mimir was not able to see athena in god of war 2018. after kratos finishes his dialogue with her, mimir says something to kratos along the lines of "i suppose that wasn't me you were talking to." implying he could not see or hear athena. mimir then says "i already guessed you were greek. athena? dead giveaway." because kratos said athena's name while talking to her. athena is a figment of kratos' mind and unperceivable to anybody else.
Bro please stop putting “FINALLY Revealed” in your titles. It’s making an assumption that it’s fact, when really it’s just your opinion/ theory. It’s click bate af, and you lose credibility.
How come only Kratos can see her then? Mimir was with him when he was talking to Athena and he was like...who you talking to brother?
Who knows if Mimir saw her or not. But we do know for a fact, he didn't HEAR her. Maybe she was using telekinesis. :O
@abdbay I think you're theory is right about Athena. I just discovered your videos, and have been binging them. Great work
Holy shit, you really did a good job man
Thanks 😊
While that is true and well, all of the search results directly categorize her specifically as the fourth aesir God something we definatelly know Athena is not.
The idea holds up when you consider that all the mask pieces couldn’t be found by Odin but a mix of Norse and Greek could feel and find the pieces of the mask whenever the allfather couldn’t at all and searched to no success and had to pawn it off on someone else his desperation in need of answers about the afterlife is so human it makes you think he did all of this to die and now he’s dead and who knows where he ended up if he ended up anywhere at all because Valhalla isn’t for god when they die but Thor ascended and kept his physical form Odin didn’t his selfishness is what kept him all along from getting where he wants to go
Great theory indeed , 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼❤️
It would be really nice to see a female villain who is just as deplorably evil and manipulative as so many male villains have been used. Seriously, most female villains are given tragic stories or warped justification for their actions. And its rare you get a male villain like that. Moving on, if she does end up being the big final evil that maybe Atreaus has to face himself, possibly with Thor's daughter, that would be great.
No, females cannot be as evil as males.
Unless Santa Monica says then I’ll believe it
piece? no, odin had all parts of the mask. he hid them so he could send loki for them and feign pride and thankfulness to him for 'finding' them, and sent heimdall to make sure one guess was incorrect to show loki that he forgives. he had the full thing from the start gut needed loki to trust him and use it
Not concrete because the ghost like appearance could still be attributed to any other character interpretation of gefjun that we just haven't seen yet. But still, awesome theory
I like this theory because it reminds me of how the Norns called Kratos Cruel Striker. Cruel Striker = Farbauti. Farbauti is the Father of Loki. Gefjon's ghost being a subtle hint towards Athena reminds me of that tie in by thd norns; Odin raving about how he stared into the abyss of the rift and something stared back at him, and the rift being the green associated with Athena's ascension; the deliberate use of Silent Matron; it all ties together to create a great theory with great proof! I wonder if the projection of Athena in GOW 2018 was actually her, but she was only showing herself to Kratos and not Mimir in that moment to haunt him during that time? Which also happens to tie in her being a "ghost."
Silent Matron... Santa Monica! The plot thickens...
I agree with your findings, but I think Athena messed up because I think Thor might now be in the higher plane as well... Since he refused to fight and was killed for it... and he dissolved much like Athena did when she died. So she is not the only god to ascend.
Great theory.
If this were to be true, maybe I would say Athena wants to get rid of all the pantheons in order for humanity to evolve, like she again at the end in Gow3
The future is bright for the franchise
What if there was more to this than just that. I had this thought that what if you don’t become a god of something simply by being born but you ascend to it. In a way I had thought that what if certain gods do not become the God of the Oceans, of War, of Wisdom, of Fire and so forth because they were born that way, what if they actually ascend to that level through certain ritual or means. Look at what happened with Kratos after he killed Ares, he took his throne and became the God of War, more than that Hercules was slated to take that Throne after Kratos was killed. What if there was prescience for that? Why not make Hercules the God of War immediately after Kratos was gone? Why did he need to die? Beyond that each god had many titles and often were the gods of multiple forces.
What if becoming the god of a specific phenomena actually afforded you extra power or a specific connection to something greater. What if gods actually didn’t have their alignment decided at birth but were actually given it through ceremony and crowning.
Perhaps the Greek Pantheon were able to expand on this further, creating better conduits for this cosmic force for them to tap into and affording them greater power and ability. But it also afforded them greater connection to universal constants that was so tight that they became personifications and this is why when they were killed these phenomenal happened at their death. But why other gods didn’t have the same effect, why Persephone’s death did nothing. Perhaps the idea of the Twelve Olympian’s was that there were twelve thrones to be used.
It could also explain why Athena ascended where other gods did not, she was the goddess of Wisdom and that afforded her a deeper connection because the power she accumulated she also understood. That clarity also likely allowed her to survive and ascend to a higher plane of existence. But the thing is we have no idea if this was always the plan.
Oden: {wants to know what happens to him when he dies}
Me: I can relate.
All your theories also debunked when Mimir told Kratos he knows who Athena is. That is how he figure out Kratos is Greek.
Pretty sure that mask was a key and the rift was a door that someone wanted Odin to open
Your Gefron description can apply to Hestia and Artemis too.
Athena , Goddess of wisdom became the Goddess of Fear. Ironic
This would mean that Kratos was still unwillingly her Monster 😱
You've really upped the levels of editing!!!!
The final boss of god of war.
Athena, the boss fight stolen from us from god of war 2
What’s the music name of your intro?
Didn't Barlog already confirm Athena is well and truly dead?
I believe a prior interview alluded to a higher plane of existence story idea being explored at one time but I "thought" they already said Athena is just dead.
The curse of sons killing their fathers hasn't ended. Athena will show Atreus what Kratos has done in Greece.
THE USE OF BLACK SWAN IN THE INTRO HELLO?????
How long did Odin have the mask? Could Odin have obtained it long before the events in ther earlier GOW games happened?
Athena being the villain makes sense given she wanted Hope the power of pandora for herself. Atreus like his father Kratos probably kept her from such power by not wearing the mask as Odin/ Athena’s manipulations wanted. Also, I doubt Athena or Zeus were the only gods to transcend and eventually as we are suitably distracted by tales of Atreus giving Kratos a break we will return to Greece just to face these so called transcendent gods in similar forms we’ve seen of Zeus and Athena.
fact:bear eats beets....
Bears... Beets... Battlestar Galactica.
That is a nice fanfic this theory would have held weight if not for a crucial flaw and that’s the timeline, we don’t have a definitive answer to timeline of things for example in the cutscene you showed at the end about odin talking about how he got the mask by accident after opening the rift when killing ymir , from the entire dialogue it seems ymir corpse is asgard (correct me if im wrong) so killing ymir and finding the rift and the first piece of the mask was very very long time ago most likely before the events of god of war 3 so so far I dont think this theory is as solid as you think
Now I know that the dialogue of mimier says that he got the mask from the silent matron but that to me was just a misunderstanding of what he said more like taken out of context , to me what he said was he traveled to many dangerous places just to find it, as in he didn’t find the piece but actually was looking for it
On a side note the mask used to belong to the Giants so to find the mask after killing ymir isn’t surprising
If DLC true I hope see mask again😮
Maybe not since it got sucked into the rift but I’d like the mystery behind it to be explored more.
Athena being the big bad behind the scenes would be awesome.
I think the raven, the movements and the little noises it makes means something. Idk what but it has a pattern the way it looks as Odin speaks
Silent Matron sounds a lot like Santa Monica.
I wonder why Athena would risk giving Odin unlimited knowledge? Odin would obviously misuse it.
putting the last clip to get the vid to 8 mins💀💀
🤫
Nice theory crafting but i am not convinced
Even after god of war 1 Athena still causing problems
Odin got the Mask Long before Athena died in God of war 2.
There's only one other reference to loki and a mask glowing with green energy....
your theory is insanely scary, keep up!
Didn’t Odin state that the mask came from Ymir along with the rift when he killed him?
For a long time i thought athena was not there at all
I thought it maybe it was Kratos In ability or unwilling this to let go.
Thus was renfored by thinking the ghost of sprada was also a toturing ghost to him slef
I think the mask simply came from some other pantheon.
