Man I love the fact that the sound design is so phenomenal for this scene that even something as small as Kratos' little breath before blowing Gjallarhorn missing makes the whole track seem incomplete. Just the way all the noises and effects blend masterfully into the music is just toooo good.
I think it's the same in the last game. The track "Salvation" plays when you finally kill Baldur. It seems incomplete without Baldur's neck snap and basically all the dialogue of the scene.
remember, according to legend when Gjallarhorn sounds, EVERY REALM hears it. Imagine just sitting there getting ready for war and the horn just blares into the air
I feel like there's no words to describe the soundtrack of this game. I feel like there's no words to describe the game as a whole. Masterpiece is an understatement
it's not a masterpiece and this is coming from a GOW fan. sure they made the combat experience much better, but it felt like the game didn't live up to its expectations. the norse gods had so much potential but the devs wasted it.
@@threeleftthumbs2742 There was no waste of Nordic characters, they literally had to make them stronger to withstand a fight with Kratos, a god stronger than Atlas and Cronos, they had to lead an army to a kingdom since Odin had everything won, in addition to making them stronger Each Norse god was given a story and why they are like that, so there was no waste and I would say that they were even better
@@doctorinvictus774 trash finale. the ragnarok war was lackluster compared to the siege of olympus and the boss battles. you get a thor fight in front of a lodge. you get an odin fight, IN FRONT of the same lodge. really? reuse the same location? nothing really impressive happens like the baldur fights. thor 1 was better with this. you could have fought alongside jormungandr for a while before he got blinked out of existence and 3v1 odin made the last boss fight too easy and it didn't feel like it had stakes.
@@JV-km9xk You are comparing very different games. Kratos is no longer a killer, he wants to change, he is someone different, the war is stopped as Kratos knows that change and decides to be better, the Kratos of God of war III is a killer without mercy, he kills anyone even innocent people, comparing everything, God of war Ragnarok is the best in development theme. in the final battle Kratos never fought aggressively, he wanted to talk, he wanted to avoid spilling more blood, that's why in the whole fight he shows his prowess to his rivals. The final battle against Thor is a clear example that you can talk and not only be solved with blows, showing Thor that not all are destroyers and demonstrating and being something different in the other fighting games, that you can reason. The battle against odin is a way to show that he is not immortal, he is not invincible, together with the music, you understand that he is losing ground and he begins to despair when he is cornered. At first he was calm, saying words to Kratos and atreus, blaming them for everything that happened, but when it comes time to fight against Kratos, atreus and freya, he realizes that he never had a chance to win. Ragnarok is a way to get to Asgard, to show that Kratos is the true father of all, being someone who is able to reason and avoid shedding innocent blood, even if it was the god of war himself.
Same I cried at this when kratos said goodbye to Faye when brok died and at the end when kratos hugged Atreus and when he said son listen closely. This game is a masterpiece and got robbed of goty.
idk but this scene and when i heard this soundtrack with the horn, it made me feel so accomplished, like everything that had been coming to a head in these games had finally all come together. filled me with hype and excitement but also a bitter sweetness because i knew the game was slowly coming to a close after this.
Kratos : I came to these lands to escape my past. To start a new life. I can hide no longer. I do not want this war. We have suffered enough. Prophecy did not lead us here. Nor will it win this battle. Wars are won by those who are willing to sacrifice everything. If that is the cost of vengeance... so be it. Freya : Odin has taken so much from us already. The realms have suffered enough. No matter the cost, this ends today. Freyr : If going out in a blaze of glory means Odin burns too, then that's where I'll be. With a big, fat smile on my face. Atreus : For Brok. Kratos: Ready yourselves.
This scene... obviously just my opinion, but if we could label a perfect cinematic scene in video game history, this one is number one for me. There is never not a moment that I dont get both pumped and emotional at the same time for this.

Looking at ragnarok in different views and ways really opened my eyes as to how much if a masterpiece it really was, with the acting and voice tracks, and all of it except for the ending which seemed a bit rushed towards its perfect. And the moment when Kratos sounded the horn was absolutely perfect!
I felt so many things just from this Theme. Emotion, Goosebumps, Nervousness, Epicness and most important of all a Feeling of Sadness that its all ending
When I heard that horn, it gave me goosebumps and got me thinking. That's the sound we will all hear in Armageddon. THE FINAL BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD ❤️ AND EVIL 😈! HEAVEN VS HELL!
What I love about this is not only is it powerful but there is a sense of utter tragedy to the music. Yes they're going to war. It is a war that so many of them wish didn't have to happen. That honestly did not need to happen. All because one stubborn being decided that his need for knowledge was more important than all of their lives. All of their happiness. And while kratos understands that he has to do this you can also tell that he is filled with regret because he knows so many are not going to come back
Who else thinks this scene should have shown all the fighting soldiers who were about attack Asgard from all the different realms hearing the horn showing the scenes simultaneously while he blew it 🤷🏾♂️
This is the moment we’ve all waited for. All the Realms have been oppressed under the Aesir’s rule for long enough. And now, the twilight of Asgard is at hand... … the Day of Ragnarök is here!!!
Getting to this part for the First Time gave me Chills instantly cause this part was just as Epic to the Ending of God of War II finally marching to war, and the soundtrack is a Banger
I don't know about you guys... But with everything happening in today's world... I do believe we are living the beginning of the end... This is Ragnarok!
While I do love the sound of Gjallarhorn, I felt like it could have sounded even better. I imagined the sound of Gjallarhorn as a combination of every war horn call ever made. Every triumphant call of victory, every mournful call of defeat, every heroic call to charge into the enemy, every defiant call of the Last Stand. It shouldn’t just be a call, but The Call! The Call that signals The Final Battle for the fate of ALL the Realms!
The way you titled it as “his sound” makes me think Gjallarhorn’s noise differs depending on who blows it. If it was Heimdall, it would have sounded much lower and daunting. But here, Kratos manages to make it sound heroic and unifying.
"HAPPY RAGNAROK EVERYBODY!! "
“Let’s drink.”
Let it be known the god of thunder is good for two things: Killing giants, AND PISSING MEAD
✨No✨🗿
Sadness

Agreed!
I'm missing the gate being opened as the camera was doing a 360 around the temple.
That horn sounds so beautiful to me
I think it's the same in the last game.

"LIZ!! THE KIDS ARE PLAYING RAGNAROK IN THE BACKYARD AGAIN!!!"
"I KNOW JIM, I CAN LITERALLY HEAR IT"
This is what the kids see when they're making all of their action figures fight each other.
Kids starts ragnarok at school.
remember, according to legend when Gjallarhorn sounds, EVERY REALM hears it. Imagine just sitting there getting ready for war and the horn just blares into the air
The sound of Kratos blowing the Gjallahorn was so loud, my neighbours can hear it too. Guess we'll all be joining Ragnarok.

The creators had 0 business making Gjallahorn sound this cool
The thought of every realm minding there own business while also being on edge, then hearing the horn and immediately preparing for war...chills.
Why is no one talking about 1:25 that part right there gives me instant chills !
my favorite part too
Mine too
Mine too
Same
When I played GOW Ragnarok for the first time, that part gave me the most intense goosebumps, when Kratos walks before blowing the horn
Did anybody else cry when Kratos sounded Gjallajorn or was that just me?
Man tears….
Nah, you’re so real for that though. One of the best games to come out of
@@Professional_Mess indeed, I hope we get a 6th game
Same I cried at this when kratos said goodbye to Faye when brok died and at the end when kratos hugged Atreus and when he said son listen closely. This game is a masterpiece and got robbed of goty.
Anyone else just take a deep breath right before Gjallahorn is sound? it just feels right.
I did lol
The deep breath before the plunge
*Ready yourself.*
That sound....I came.
Came to Asgard
😫😫😫
oh... i get it... sounding...
I came 6 timed
idk but this scene and when i heard this soundtrack with the horn, it made me feel so accomplished, like everything that had been coming to a head in these games had finally all come together. filled me with hype and excitement but also a bitter sweetness because i knew the game was slowly coming to a close after this.
00:00 Am I the only one who gets goosebumps as this start reminds me of the E3 2016 reveal?
"Then show me what you know.
I am hungry."
that's what came to my mind too
Kratos : I came to these lands to escape my past. To start a new life. I can hide no longer. I do not want this war. We have suffered enough. Prophecy did not lead us here. Nor will it win this battle. Wars are won by those who are willing to sacrifice everything. If that is the cost of vengeance... so be it.

Freyr : If going out in a blaze of glory means Odin burns too, then that's where I'll be. With a big, fat smile on my face.
Atreus : For Brok.
Kratos: Ready yourselves.
*blows gjallahorn!
The music from this scene was probably the most powerful i've ever heard in any game
It's really Only appropriate for probably the most Powerful character in Gaming History, Bar None
I was yelling inside my head, heart, and soul. It was 3AM and every bit of me wanted to scream "FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
As a fan of Richard Wagner I found this scene incredibly moving
@Vatan Kömürcü So it's music?
"Ready yourselves"
-Kratos
kratos: blows the horn
Reggie Fils-Aimé and his body: “yes Father.”
*_CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!_* _NO REST UNTIL ALL OF ASGARD IS _*_DEAD!_*
no matter how many times i listen to this i always gets goosebumps
This scene... obviously just my opinion, but if we could label a perfect cinematic scene in video game history, this one is number one for me. There is never not a moment that I dont get both pumped and emotional at the same time for this.
Oh my god, you were reading my mind, the lack of Gjallarhorn was so noticeable. Thanks for fixing it.
I got chills and goosebumps by listening to this that it felt by the nine realms!!!
1:30 Epic moment ❤️ omg amazing ❤️
This. This is it. This is what I was looking for.
Thank you. 😢
This is beautiful! May I request a version with the sound of the gates of the realms opening?
Good👌🏼
yes that would be so good, gjallarhorn and the gates
THIS!!
Just watch the original? Or do you not want the dialogue
"I came to these lands to escape my past.
To start a new life.
I can hide no longer.
I do not want this war.
We have suffered enough.
Prophecy did not lead us here.
Nor will it win this battle.

1:35 the goosebumps🔥🔥
0:00-0:35 The same music that played when Kratos first appeared during the first reveal at E3 2016

Not going to lie, I shed a tear when Gjallarhorn sounded off

It felt like I've been waiting for this moment since 2018
This might be the greatest game score of all time.
Great Song, this music 🎵 of gllalahorn is epic , the best of Ragnarok
Bro i had fuckin HDR & Surround sound MAXED when this went off
I WAS SHOOK TO MY CORE DAWG
I can confirm I heard the horn in Asia
Confirming that the UK heard the horn too
Confirming that inside the USA I heard it too
Confirming I heard this in a dream
@D DOG Imagine a portal opens in Installation 04, and Master Chief unquestionably jumps through, and start joining Ragnarok.
I'm in hell ripping and tearing demons apart eith my bare hands and badass weaponry and I hear the horn
I will make this bloody outstanding soundtrack into my alarm ringtone...
The Sound Management Team damn sure knew what they were doin' when they created the sound of Gjallarhorn!!
"Let there be war, so that peace may reign."
You can hear gjallahorn echoing through all the Realms. Fr crazy
This is 100% the god of war version of the portal scene from avengers endgame
Kratos: "Warriors of midgard!...asemble"
this scene become a core memory for me i got absolute chills for someone who as their for the series from the start this moment felt diff
It's... it's perfect
This scene... everytime I remember it... 😭
0:34 in slow it sounds so creepy

the music give me goosebumps..thanks man !!
Can you make Gjallarhorn sound only please ?
@unknownsound
god i get goosebumps everytime!!! the music i this game is just the best! definitly my own top 3 best music in games
Just hit a new bench max with this. Makes you feel like a god
1:24 so majestic!

Probably the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. Remember this is my opinion.
FINALLY
god of war ragnarok is perfect in everry sense of the word, its just, the best.
It's BEAUTIFUL😢
This has the same vibe as "On your left"
My cat listened to this, now I can't lift her for some reason.
I'm sad this song isn't in the digital sound track, neither is Blood upon the snow.
1:55 this just sounds so beautiful…
Without the horn it's like its missing an entire leading-up chord. blowing the gjallarhorn make this theme perfect
Thank you very very much
i cried bro.
Im gonna use this as my wake up ringtone
Do it at your own risk 😆
That just beautiful ^^
I feel like if you made the music a bit louder it would capture the feeling that you get in game
unfortunately this is the maximum extracted volume. its strengthening bode a loss of quality :(
@@id_unknownsound Ohhh alright got you
@@id_unknownsound have you tried applying normalize? Works wonders
