It never ceases to amaze me, that he was the ONLY opponent that he talked as if they were on even ground. Not a single god is called "brother" by Kratos, only Hercules. Guess it's because of him honoring only real strenght and a warrior's spirit. Nice detail.
Here is a unique moment in Kratos’ life where he is willing to let a god walk away without a fight. He told Hercules that it’s not between them. Even went so far as to call him ‘brother’ something he never says to any other son of Zeus

I think out of all of them, Hercules's death is the most tragic. Kratos and Hercules had the most in common, including both being human, both having been turned mad by the gods to kill their own family, and both being admirable warriors and heroes who respected one another. He could have been Kratos's greatest ally, but in the end, the gods did what they do best: turn kin against each other.
The fact that Hercules thought he stood a chance against Kratos even after Kratos has killed Poseidon,Hades and many more god's is kind of stupid..............
Hercules and Thor are the two characters I wish I could have seen Kratos team up with to fight the big bad in the end. In all seriousness, taking lore into account, Hercules would have probably hated Zeus as much as Kratos did and its a shame we couldn't see them work together.
Why would Hercules help kratos when their skills are no match. Kratos don't need his help. And thoe was a bastard too who killed the giants and obey Odin like a dog
It's an interesting concept, considering that this game did touch on their similarities (though they left out a LOT). I Mean, I believe in one tale of Herakles (Hercules Is the Roman name for those who don't know) tells about how he was driven to a rage by a god (forgot which one) and murdered his wife and Child; similar fate to Kratos. It's like a pattern of inferiority and jealousy that would make for some interesting dynamics if all the Olympians/Titans/Furies/Fates/etc weren't written as just plain dickish. Like there's a fair degree of nuance to a lot of them. Yeah I agree with you on Herk, imagine at least him not siding with Kratos but not getting in the way due to a mutual understanding of each other's pain and suffering at the hands of the Olympians they were brought up to try to respect and worship.. it's got potential
@@FatalShotGGthat's what I find so funny about that shot. Kratos doesn't even look that mad. He just looks annoyed that Hercules is inconveniencing him.
@@realamericannegro977 I’ve played the game about 10 times. 5x on hardest difficulty. 2018 is a huge step down, but Ragnarok is a huge step up from 2018. Overall, GoW 3 is still the goat 🐐 GoW
@@realamericannegro977 This blows them out of the water, I really liked 2014 GOW, but I hated Ragnarok. Way too concerned with being overly cinematic, the plot was rushed and they injected marvel humour into it which I despise.
You do know new god of war kratos is waaay stronger then god of war 3 kratos he was literally holding back throughout the game trying to hide his true nature and godhood also he didn’t want Atreus knowing because he might go on the same path as he did.
@@Loner_Mike98 Look, this is in some form true, but in GOW4 he doesn't have all of his equipment. He has grown wiser, and stronger physically, but not fighting as for a long time he wasn't really battling anyone. And he didn't have his equipment. As we can see, he is already strong enough. With a couple of punches he pushed back the ground against Hercules. Hercules is already weaker physically as he can lift the entire stage but strangles at the end. Kratos at GOW4 turned around that whole platform(don't remember how it's called). So yes he became wiser and stronger but not more powerful or a better Warrior. If he had his weapons tho he would be stronger than his past self with the weapons.
@@thetreatment498 Yes. Kratos flipped tyr's temple that contains the weights of 9 realms. That's how stupidly stronger Kratos have become. But i agree with you that young Kratos is more "*POWERFUL*" because he has the power of hope. The power that make him invincible even immune to time. Old Kratos doesn't have the power of hope, because in the GoW 3 ending he granted the power of hope to humanity.but still,,, I don't know. Cory Balrog (GoW director) stated that old Kratos is stronger than young kratos. Well let's wait until GoW Ragnarok came out.
This fight stands out to me because it’s the only time Kratos gave someone a chance to back down. He gave Hercules so many chances! Probably because Hercules has suffered the same way (killing of one’s own family in anger due to trickery by the gods) What if the brothers could have banded together instead 😂?
Plus they called each other "brother" meaning they both respected each other enough to have those feelings, I have a gut feeling kratos does feel a little bad
i mean from the looks of things kratos did showed many chances of mercy but most of them are jsut blindly charging at kratos so that pretty much decides their decision
@@sonsonthegoddessofconfusio3183 I think when he said to Atreus that "I killed many who deserved it. And many who did not", his emotion was a bit guilty. Throughout God of War 4, he tried to hide his son of his shameful past. Then the last piece "I have nothing more to hide" was his finale to stop hiding.
That's the most badass shot ever. He ain't acting carefully or even is afraid of what could walk out through that door. He stands there like who tf this little shit walking towards me.
When Hercules stood out of that tunnel, sent chills throughout my body in excitement. And i fanboyed fiercely when I heard his voice. Kevin Sorbo killed it with the character.
This boss is epic for so many reasons 1. Kratos isn’t even sure if he can beat Hercules and tries his hardest to convince him there’s no point in fighting 2. During the final phase of Hercules, it literally looks like an older and younger brother fighting😂 3. The look on Hercules face when he’s pinned down and knows he’s screwed
The first point is not because he wasn't confident he able to beat hercules. Kratos just want to show mercy cause hercules wasn't even a part of his revenge. Easy to say he have no business with hercules.
@Muhaimin Akbar there's no reason he would be afraid of him. He killed a 500 m tall giant, huge beasts, other gods, etc. He's not going to be intimidated by this size difference at all. If you have that kind of experience, you're just not going to be afraid.
@@dekippiesip that's my point. What I mean is hercules have no business with kratos. Kratos have no good reason to kill him until hercules want to fight kratos
Kratos told hercules “you aspire to be an olypian but they are coming to an end” that shows me Kratos is confident he can beat hercules because he was confident he was gunna walk away from that encounter and kill all the olympians. Cant agree with your first point
This is one of the most iconic God of war/Kratos moments in all of the games ever made even the most current and whatever’s next. His interaction w Hera from “Bravo. Bravo.” to “Destroy him.”, Hercules showing up, us finding out that they are brothers was cool asf you can’t lie, the awesome fight, godly music, and brutal murder of Herc
7:18, dude i don't know why but this part here, i know it wasnt intended and maybe im just overthinking it but it was such a perfect sync, Hercules was confident that he could beat Kratos, the music was with him, the trumpets showing all his might, and bam, Kratos take his gauntles. "Final-" before he even finish the phrase Kratos start punching him, the music then changes to Kratos theme and so Hercules comes to his senses. He's alone now, all his minions are gone, Hera who was enjoying the show was also gone, no one's coming to help him, the only thing left was trying to take down Kratos, he fails and Kratos keeps punching and besting him, he starts panicking and tries to throw him off the Forum many times but fails, only to see his last moments witnessing his brother's rage while being punched to death, when you see things in Hercules perspective, it's really a scary feeling
Because one of the themes in Greek and Roman mythology is pride. The gods and the demis in mythology are some of the arrogant mother fuckers in literature 😂.It’s weird though too because Hercules is probably the most likeable Greek hero though in mythology .
I used to think Hercules was stronger in the beginning when he had an army. However given that all his army consists of the weak minions that can be grabbed with O he is actually stronger when he is by himself because it is very easy to inflict a lot of damage on him by running into him using his own warriors.
You know damn well Heimdall probably saw all this when Mimir was telling Kratos “Brother, this isn’t who you want to be” Kratos recalled his past sins and Heimdall with his foresight saw it all. This included
To this day I’m lightly surprised by Kratos’ interaction with Hercules. As others have pointed out, Kratos shows absolutely no hesitation in destroying every other entity. But in this case, even with Hercules challenging him, Kratos tries to reason with him…even tries to deescalate the situation. Unfortunately Hercules was consumed with too much petty bitterness. I think Kratos saw some kinship in him, not just through being half brothers. Perhaps a combination of respect of warrior prowess and the fact that both Demigods had been played like pawns by the gods. An unfortunate and tragic end for Hercules. Had they teamed up, they would have been unstoppable.
It's the sound of rage building inside Kratos, bursting open and unleashes into a massacre to whomever gets in his way of vengeance. Brr, scary because it isn't fun for Hercules anymore after that point.
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் Kratos has so many different songs to choose for boss music. I think one other song is entitled “The End Begins” which is epic but not as epic as “Rage of Sparta”.
I like how, the moment Kratos gets the Cestus, it turns less into a fight and more into a man trying to survive the killing machine that is the God of War.
Hercules has insane durability, and stamina. All jokes aside about him getting mopped, the guy took more of a beating than anyone else before him and still kept going.
There are moments in a game that feel special. Where you realize suddenly that what you are doing is awesome both in gameplay and as a narrative. Where you get completely immersed and lose yourself in the moment. That is truly the best feeling when playing a game. When everything in the world disappears except the game that you are playing. In Doom 2016 it happened in arenas while fighting hordes of enemies with the dynamic music that changes depending on how good you play. It happened for me in dmc 5 while getting and holding stylish ratings. I realize how important music is in combination with great gameplay and setting. The same happened while fighting hercules and the music built up towards the part at 4:10. As this is the mid point of the game (i think) you have gotten better at the game. There are a lot of enemies and you need to use all your skills and weapons to defeat them, all while fighting hercules at the same time. Playing well, destroying everyone around me while hearing the best part of this theme was an amazing experience. And the immersion that is so important.
It never ceases to amaze me, that he was the ONLY opponent that he talked as if they were on even ground. Not a single god is called "brother" by Kratos, only Hercules. Guess it's because of him honoring only real strenght and a warrior's spirit. Nice detail.

"Final-" before he even finish the phrase Kratos start punching him, the music then changes to Kratos theme and so Hercules comes to his senses. He's alone now, all his minions are gone, Hera who was enjoying the show was also gone, no one's coming to help him, the only thing left was trying to take down Kratos, he fails and Kratos keeps punching and besting him, he starts panicking and tries to throw him off the Forum many times but fails, only to see his last moments witnessing his brother's rage while being punched to death, when you see things in Hercules perspective, it's really a scary feeling
The way Kratos stares Hercules down.
Kratos proved size didn't matter when he fought Cronos 😂. Kratos just a savage.
Dude it's so badass
@@jakojiibro kratos fought cronos after Hercules 😂😂what are you on
Hercules really thought he could defeat Kratos, he thought he could beat the guy who was able to withstand the fingers of Atlas, even Chronos.
Yeah Hercules is an ant compared to Chronos 😂😂
I love how that sounds without context
Hercules and Kratos are on the same level. He could do all that stuff too. The cutscene does a great job illustrating this fact.
Bro forgot Hercules held up the sky in one of his labors lol
7:09 that timing tho
Edit: what if Heracles had the hydra blood arrows from the myth in this fight or even the nemean lion’s hide?
He is wearing the hide it just doesn't look like it
The thing is, in GOW universe, the one who killed the Hydra was Kratos, not Heracles
@@ariqsyafwan4987 it was revealed that Hercules actually did kill the hydra, then athena resurrected it.
@@ariqsyafwan4987 Hercules did kill the hydra, athena brought it back to life, it’s stated in the lore.
@@ariqsyafwan4987But Heracles completed his labors, implying that there is more than one
I couldn't help but face palm when he turned his back and said "Do you see how he trembles?" Like why would you turn your back while fighting kratos?
Because one of the themes in Greek and Roman mythology is pride. The gods and the demis in mythology are some of the arrogant mother fuckers in literature 😂.It’s weird though too because Hercules is probably the most likeable Greek hero though in mythology .
This battle between Kratos and Hercules is very epic in God 3 the graphics are incredible
I came exactly for a screenshot of 9:10. I'm happy.
I can imagine someone making a mod of Kratos vs. Thanos.
I think we all know who's gonna win
@@cookieicecream Duh! Shaggy!
Kratos literally kills Thanos in another GOW game.
Kratos steals the infinity gauntlet and smashes it on his face instead of snapping
@@RetreatHell518Actually its Thanatos the god of death not Thanos.
The fact that Kevin Sorbo voiced Hercules blew my mind and felt nostalgia!
What a way for the legendary Hercules to go, LITERALLY beaten to a pulp!
❤
The size of Hercules is incredible, imagine standing infront of him.
And apparently kratos is 8ft tall already

Kratos knocked the gauntlets off of him.

Imagine if Hercules didn't have an ego
He could've been a pretty good ally.
Imagine Kratos + Deimos + Hercules

He could’ve had his revenge against the gods for making him do all the labors

Half life a few examples of perfect games
I used to think Hercules was stronger in the beginning when he had an army. However given that all his army consists of the weak minions that can be grabbed with O he is actually stronger when he is by himself because it is very easy to inflict a lot of damage on him by running into him using his own warriors.
Don't you guys agree?
@@emilmadsen494 yes I agree
"A fierce warrior. A killer made hero. A man made a god". Badass sentence that 100% represents Kratos.
You know damn well Heimdall probably saw all this when Mimir was telling Kratos “Brother, this isn’t who you want to be” Kratos recalled his past sins and Heimdall with his foresight saw it all. This included
Which is why he called kratos a monster
He also Kratos shagging Aphrodite.
8:50 serious table flip
You predict the future ?
@@viencsui7303 yes
@@viencsui7303it's in the webcomic
To this day I’m lightly surprised by Kratos’ interaction with Hercules. As others have pointed out, Kratos shows absolutely no hesitation in destroying every other entity.
But in this case, even with Hercules challenging him, Kratos tries to reason with him…even tries to deescalate the situation. Unfortunately Hercules was consumed with too much petty bitterness.
I think Kratos saw some kinship in him, not just through being half brothers. Perhaps a combination of respect of warrior prowess and the fact that both Demigods had been played like pawns by the gods. An unfortunate and tragic end for Hercules. Had they teamed up, they would have been unstoppable.
You know the end is near when 7:44 starts playing
It's the sound of rage building inside Kratos, bursting open and unleashes into a massacre to whomever gets in his way of vengeance. Brr, scary because it isn't fun for Hercules anymore after that point.
9:28
That's kratos's boss music.
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் Kratos has so many different songs to choose for boss music. I think one other song is entitled “The End Begins” which is epic but not as epic as “Rage of Sparta”.
My mum whenever I come down the stairs: 0:25
Lmao bro 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅@@carolyndavis2104
Kratos voice actor is amazing, he has so much bass in his voice
He also voiced Mace Windu.
Good to see the gow community is still alive and well.
I like how, the moment Kratos gets the Cestus, it turns less into a fight and more into a man trying to survive the killing machine that is the God of War.
He probably would have lost if he didnt disarm him
@@realamericannegro977 probably not
7:40 I love how after Hercules throws Kratos against the railing Kratos's music kicks in like he got mad with that throw
I dont hear any music
That's because rage of Sparta is kratos' boss music
I like the voice effect they did for Hercules, his voice sounds naturally like it's coming from the lungs of a giant man.
1:18 that look 🔥🔥🔥
Hercules: Am I my brothers keeper?
Kratos: Yes I AM!!!!
is that a JoJo reference?
Nice, New Jack City reference
1:18 coldest stare 🐐🗿
I like how Hera was enjoying the show.
Both were illegitimate kids of Zeus. So, she enjoyed it more than anything else.
Hercules has insane durability, and stamina. All jokes aside about him getting mopped, the guy took more of a beating than anyone else before him and still kept going.
this game has so many iconic boss battles! zeus, hades, hercules, cronos...
Hercules: Hello... Brother! 1:23
Chills 👀
*Epic*
The bass on his voice tho

Another toxic brother relationship
There are moments in a game that feel special. Where you realize suddenly that what you are doing is awesome both in gameplay and as a narrative. Where you get completely immersed and lose yourself in the moment. That is truly the best feeling when playing a game. When everything in the world disappears except the game that you are playing. In Doom 2016 it happened in arenas while fighting hordes of enemies with the dynamic music that changes depending on how good you play. It happened for me in dmc 5 while getting and holding stylish ratings. I realize how important music is in combination with great gameplay and setting.
The same happened while fighting hercules and the music built up towards the part at 4:10. As this is the mid point of the game (i think) you have gotten better at the game. There are a lot of enemies and you need to use all your skills and weapons to defeat them, all while fighting hercules at the same time. Playing well, destroying everyone around me while hearing the best part of this theme was an amazing experience. And the immersion that is so important.
1:53 I never noted till now that Krator raised his eyebrow 🤨

Perfect casting. Kevin Sorbo as Hercules himself (who played Hercules in the tv series)
Atreus: “Do I have an uncle?”
Kratos: “You HAD an uncle.”
6:06 that was perfectly timed
Idk why, I just like the way he says “Nemean Lion”

5:59 "Armor is for WEAKLINGS"

I was just thinking “then why were you wearing armor, idiot?”
Armor? I mean his underwear isn’t exactly that strong
8:55 "Not falling down this goddamn mountain again!"
The Virgin Chad versus the Gym Jockey
Legendary 10 years old game. Also Hercules voice is awesome and the musics are great.
God of war 3 graphics have aged very well for a PS3 game. It was ahead of its time
I still can't believe it's Kevin Sorbo voicing Hercules in this game, even after playing hercules in the tv show for so many years
That Rage of Sparta music when the gauntlets come off 🔥
