God of War (Video Game) / int_1228314a	comment	Strong as They Need to Be: GoW 2 provides a villain example. The Blade of Olympus kills Athena in one stab, yet you spend the last twenty minutes before that stabbing Zeus with it in both gameplay and cutscenes, yet he just walks off like it was nothing. It seems to work fine in the third game after a final epic battle, although the finishing blow ends up being more... personal The titans also qualify, since in God of War II they able to give Kratos powers, implying they have magic powers themselves, yet during God of War III they don't display any magic beyond their size. At one point in III you lash Poseidon's Princess to a crank to hold a door open. As soon as you're through the door her strength fails and the crank crushes her, but if you don't go through the door and just stand there, she can hold the crank in place indefinitely.

Rule of thumb is that if a character shared a scene with Kratos, they would die horribly. Considering the games are literally about killing the Greek Pantheon, it shouldn't come as a surprise.

This is actually one of the few times Kratos shows regret for killing an enemy, so much so that he nearly gives up the quest altogether.

In the third game, he indiscriminately kills the gods that stay in his way and essentially brings about The End of the World as We Know It just for his revenge.

God of War (Video Game) / int_15264ac9	comment	Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: In II, there is a segment where the player has to climb up to a ledge to continue. There is a pushable block nearby, but standing on the block still leaves the ledge just out of reach. There is a switch the player can hit that causes a square part of the floor to raise up on a thin, round pillar, but it falls back down too quickly for the player to use it. The solution is to kick the block UNDER the raised floor before the pillar falls. Like many examples here, in real life this solution would be obvious, but most players would expect the entire floor-pillar object to act as a solid rectangle.

God of War (Video Game) / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: Oh dear, where to start? The series begins with Athena asking you to kill her brother, who turns out to be your brother. By the time you figure that out, it turns out your dad wants to kill you, because he tried to kill his dad for eating his siblings. So you decide to kill him with the help of his grandma, but along the way you kill your step-mom, three of your half-brothers, and two of your uncles. The Aesir gods from the Norse mythology have a similarly screwed up family dynamic. Odin is an abusive father who fews his family members as pawns, Freya is an overprotective mother to the point of stealing her son's ability to feel against his will, and Thor is a drunk who killed his mother's people because his father forced him to.

While the first and the third games were of the Black-and-Gray Morality category, it's played straight in the second game. It's Kratos, who's pretty much the main villain then, against Zeus, who's a paranoid dictator.

Also some of the goddesses who are fought by Kratos wear clothes that leave their breasts completely exposed (Lahkesis or Erinys) and in general do little to cover their bodies.

On the other, a completely psychotic killer who thinks nothing of slaughtering anybody in his way, but with basically sympathetic motives for bringing war against the gods, and who ultimately grants his enormous power to humanity after bringing down Olympus. In the end, which side is Lighter comes down to the viewer.

Kratos himself arguably qualifies as well. In III, Aphrodite's outfit consists of a strip of cloth across her chest (which is so thin that it doesn't cover her breasts) and another covering her hips. It also seems to be her maiden's standard outfit.

God of War (Video Game) / int_1f963842	comment	Bloodier and Gorier: Ancient mythology was more violent than you'd think, but this series takes it up to eleven. Ramping it up with III, to the point where the studio said some screenshots are so violent, they cannot be released on gaming news websites without being censored. They have an independent engine in place to animate enemies being ripped to pieces and having their organs fall out. Some highlights: Kratos disemboweling a centaur, complete with falling organs; a much more graphic animation of Kratos ripping the eye off Cyclopes, with blood flooding out of the socket and sinew hanging from the eye and finally, Kratos ripping off Helios' head. Yes, that Helios.. aAnd then using it as a flashlight. Ragnarok ups the gore closer to the level of the Greek games after the 2018 soft reboot toned the violence down. You'll fight dozens of normal humans in the game who you can now decapitate, impale, and immolate to your hearts content, with all the blood you'd expect.

The terrible repercussions of breaking such a vow would be seen in God of War: Ascension, when the Furies tortured Kratos for his betrayal.

The Norse games have a much lighter situation with Mimir, who himself asks to be decapitated and revived, as it was the only way for him to be freed from his prison, and accompanies Kratos as an adviser and friend for the rest of his journey.

God of War (Video Game) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Even before everything that happens in God of War III, life in Greece wasn't exactly peaches and cream, thanks in no small part to the Jerkass Gods running the place. If you're a human, you have two choices; Lawful Evil gods who view you as little more than a plaything or possession, and are only good in that they represent stability, or a demigod who's Chaotic Evil at worst and a Nominal Hero at best and might kill you for no other reason than you're in his way while he's having a bad day, which is often. The Norse setting is no picnic either being a Grim Up North land filled with monsters, and it's implied some kind of disaster happened that left several settlements and villages deserted with only undead. Not only are its local gods just as bad (if not worse, since its implied the ruined state of the world is their doing), but RagnarÃ¶k - the end of the world - is just around the corner.

In the final battle, he uses it after Ares strips him of all his abilities, and stabs the God of War through the chest. In the second game, the Fates use their time-travel powers trying to prevent this gun from being fired. In GoW III, at one point you take a brief trip inside Gaia while trying to save her from one of bigform-Poseidon's crab-horse-claw-things. You pass by her very heart, the passageway to which was opened up by Poseidon's attacks. Three guesses as to where the final fight of the game takes place, and the first two don't count.

God of War (Video Game) / int_25524784	comment	Given the source material, it's no surprise that this one appears, most notably in the second game's plot. Kronos overthrew his father, Ouranus and devoured his children to keep them from overthrowing him, thus providing Zeus with the motivation to do just that. Later on, when Zeus murders Kratos for the same exact reason, this gives Kratos an excuse to track down the Three Sisters of Fate and kill them in order to gain their power and reverse the event, and then he kills Zeus in a vicious No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Even the Fates themselves fall victim to this trope, as they were the ones who orchestrated all of these events to begin with. It turns out, even though they can control your circumstances, they can't do the same with your actions. This becomes one of the main themes in RagnarÃ¶k, with Kratos and Mimir discussing occasions such as how the oracle of Athens in the first game foresaw the god of war causing to destruction of Olympus and helped Kratos to overthrow Ares, not knowing that Kratos would become the new god of war and complete the prophecy, as well as commenting about other times this happened in Greek culture, like in Oedipus Rex.

Probably the most egregious example is Kratos finding the Archimedian Screws in Atlantis. Never mind that Archimedes died in 212 BC while Atlantis sunk in 9600 BC.

God of War (Video Game) / int_25b5600	comment	Captain Ersatz: Sheer murderousness aside, Kratos has a few striking similarities with Hercules of legend, including accidentally killing his own family in a fit of madness, as well as his habit of tearing apart monsters and using their body parts as armor or weapons (see Hercules skinning the nigh-invulnerable Nemean lion after he killed it and wearing the skin, and dipping his arrows in the poisonous blood of the Hydra). It becomes all the more amusing when Hercules finally shows up in God of War III and claims that Kratos is stealing his thunder. Considering that Kratos has already killed the Hydra and an abnormally powerful lion himself, he may well be right. The developers actually feared that Midway would view Kratos' design as this to the Mortal Kombat character Quan Chi and file a lawsuit. However, not only did Midway not care, but Boon actually liked the character enough to include him as a Guest Fighter in Mortal Kombat 9, complete with many of his signature moves and original voice actor.

God of War (Video Game) / int_28104b90	comment	Bag of Spilling: Each game finds a way to start Kratos off without his upgraded equipment and alternate weapons. Justified. At the end of the Chains of Olympus, Athena and another god (believed to be Helios) relieve Kratos of his swag to explain why he doesn't have all that cool stuff in God of War I Completely unjustified in Ghost of Sparta, where Kratos has none of his gear from the first game and then doesn't retain any of his gear from this one going into the second game. Kratos starts the second game with (some of) his gear from the first, only to be tricked by Zeus into discarding it. Despite occurring minutes after God of War II, you only retain the Golden Fleece, Icarus Wings, and Poseidon's Trident at the beginning of God of War III. Most of your powers are soon stripped when you fall into the River Styx. The fourth game again justifies his lack of previous weapons in that he starts off in a completely new realm, having left is old life behind many years ago. Averted slightly, in that the Blades of Chaos are stored beneath the floor boards of the family home. You start the game with just about all your gear you'll use almost immediately, however. In the fifth game, it is downplayed; Kratos has his axe and blades from the start, as well as items from the previous game, like the BifrÃ¶st and Thamur's chisel, but both he and Atreus have none of the equipment, enchantments, runic attacks and talismans they gathered three years prior in God of War (2018), as well as the upgrades in their weapons. It is explained the Fimbulwinter has corroded all magic in the realms, meaning most of their items had been rendered dysfunctional by the time the game is set.

God of War (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Unlockable combos of Blades become this on higher difficulties of the game. As much as they are satisfying and flashy, most of them end up putting Kratos in needless danger, since they prevent blocking and make him move closer to enemies, while not being allowed to get cancelled. In most cases, you'd rather chip away at your opponents with regular swings from a distance, and that is if you must use Blades instead of something else. Funnily enough, the initially available combos â€“ sextuple square attack, and Plume of Prometheus â€“ are the only franchise-wide exceptions, thanks to lacking all of the discussed downsides. Some alternative weapons throughout the franchise suffer from this. They all allow Kratos to deal higher single-hit damage, but that often comes at a cost of their special moves being clunky, sluggish, or needlessly precise. This results in these weapons only being useful under specific circumstances, or simply being an overall worse option when compared to the trusty Blades (or another alt. weapon, if an installment has multiple).

The evils from inside infested and corrupted the Gods and twisted them from benevolent leaders into despotic bastards. Kratos is so shocked by this reveal, as well as the realization that he's caused and inflicted so much pain and destruction in his quest for revenge, that he injures himself severely and releases the powers of hope in order to give humanity a chance to survive on their own.

God of War (Video Game) / int_2ec87029	type	Sadly Mythtaken
God of War (Video Game) / int_2ec87029	comment	Sadly Mythtaken: Just about everything. Besides the obvious — at no point in the original myths are the gods of Olympus massacred by an angry bald man — God of War makes an all-too common mistake modern adaptations of Greek myths often make: depicting the Greek pantheon as nothing else but ruthless tyrants who oppress and abuse humanity. While the aspect of The Olympians being petty in their grievances and disproportionate in the punishments are both all very true, there were indeed moments where The Olympians do show the capacity for being kind or generous to certain individuals. Values Dissonance reveals that many Greek myths were actually intended to be lighthearted at the time, and serve as reflections of the general disposition of the people they came from. The more Darker and Edgier elements were first conceived in the dark ages. It's somewhat justified in the ending of the final game where it turns out all the gods, including Zeus, were infected by humanity's evils after Kratos opened Pandora's Box in the first game. Beyond the personalities of the gods, the games are full of things that are nowhere to be found in the original myths. Pandora's Box imbues Kratos with power that allows him to fight Ares on equal footing. The Golden Fleece is... a pauldron... which allows Kratos to throw balls of energy... All right, moving on. Kronos being condemned to wander a desert carrying a mountain likewise is a completely new invention by the developers. A special award goes to Pandora's Box, which has in common with the original legend: 1. It's a box (Actually Pandora's Box was a pithos, a type of jar, but there was a mistranslation that stuck); 2. They're both from Greece (Although the God of War version of Greece contains a desert); and 3. Something happens if you open it (not the same something, just generally something). The trope is then downplayed in III when it is revealed that the box indeed contained the evils of the world, and hope, since always. The only thing that truly changes is that the evils in the box were intended for mankind in the original hesiodic myth, not the gods. Hera is the Goddess of Marriage. So why does all plant life die when when Hera dies? Demeter is the Goddess of the Harvest. She would have a reason to attack Kratos, as well, he did kill her daugther. The sirens in The Odyssey resided on jagged coastlines and tempted sailors to smash their ships on the rocks. So naturally God of War puts them in the desert just outside Athens. There's also the name "Kratos" itself. He doesn't get mentioned a lot, but there was a Greek god by that name, representing strength and power. He's usually depicted as Zeus's personal guard/enforcer, though, not his archenemy. And the list goes on.

God of War (Video Game) / int_30d2ae29	comment	Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Given the source material, it's no surprise that this one appears, most notably in the second game's plot. Kronos overthrew his father, Ouranus and devoured his children to keep them from overthrowing him, thus providing Zeus with the motivation to do just that. Later on, when Zeus murders Kratos for the same exact reason, this gives Kratos an excuse to track down the Three Sisters of Fate and kill them in order to gain their power and reverse the event, and then he kills Zeus in a vicious No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Even the Fates themselves fall victim to this trope, as they were the ones who orchestrated all of these events to begin with. It turns out, even though they can control your circumstances, they can't do the same with your actions. This becomes one of the main themes in RagnarÃ¶k, with Kratos and Mimir discussing occasions such as how the oracle of Athens in the first game foresaw the god of war causing to destruction of Olympus and helped Kratos to overthrow Ares, not knowing that Kratos would become the new god of war and complete the prophecy, as well as commenting about other times this happened in Greek culture, like in Oedipus Rex. RagnarÃ¶k takes this even further. Fate doesnâ€™t exist. Fate and prophecies are merely predictions of the future based on what is perceived to be what will happen. Prophecies donâ€™t come true due to fate, they come true because the people involved made them come true. Freyaâ€™s attempts to stop Baldur from dying a needless death are what forced Kratos to kill him. Odinâ€™s attempts to prevent RagnarÃ¶k led to the war.

Clotho fights in an arena filled with deactivated traps that aren't at all suited for hurting someone the size of a normal human. Kratos, of course, uses them to kill her in an elaborate puzzle boss battle. Perseus' preferred tactic is to use his helm of invisibility, then either sneak attack Kratos with his sword or take potshots with his sling. Unfortunately for him, he is forced to fight Kratos in a room with a shallow pool of water, meaning you can use the ripples and splashes to help figure out where he is. In the third game Hercules is wearing armor made from the pelt of the Nemean Lion, whose golden fur is nearly impregnable. Heracles by extension would also be invincible, were it not for his tendency to stop, bellow loudly, and drop his guard with a bum rush long enough for Kratos to counter it and slam him into one of the walls of spikes set up around the arena that keeps him in place long enough for Kratos to remove his armor. The mountain dragon from the 2018 game choses to attack you near a nearly endless supply of crystals that explode upon contact with its lightning breath. Without them, you'd have nearly no way to reach or damage the thing.

While you can mix your light and heavy attacks to make some really cool looking moves, on higher difficulties, the only reasonable way to make progress is with the grapple moves. It instant deaths minor Mooks, sometimes killing others in the area, and you're invincible while you do it most of the time. Granted the grapple moves are pretty cool to watch, but mashing Circle seems like a really boring way to fight. The best attack to use when you're getting swarmed by enemies that you can't grab is to repeatedly spam your Square-Square-Triangle attack. It's short enough that enemies have a hard time hitting you out of it or blocking it mid combo, and it knocks enemies into the air, stunning them. Too bad it's basically the shortest combo.

God of War (Video Game) / int_4641581e	comment	Yo-Yo Plot Point: After being a Cosmic Plaything so long, one would think that Kratos would learn to not trust any god who tells him to do something. And yet, he always goes along with the machinations and whims of one of the gods of Olympus or the titans who claim to be on his side, and acts surprised when they inevitably turn on him. Kratos then swears vengeance against the gods and that he'll never trust them again, only to completely forget about this come the next game. It's only in the Grand Finale of the series, God of War III, that Kratos finally seems to wise up.

It only gets better from there... In number 2, you start off by fighting the Colossus, a giant animated statue using a man that would bring Leonidas to his knees in shame, then just move on from there. In three, you start off by fighting the leviathan, the apocalyptic living embodiment of the sea itself, as it is destroying the Titans who are climbing up Mount Olympus to wage war with the gods. Even more epic than it sounds. And then it's god slaughtering time. The handheld version sets you off against a Cyclops as your first big boss.

God of War (Video Game) / int_4ef92d0b	comment	The Atoner: Kratos feels guilt from the very beginning of the series, but how and why he acts on it changes with each game. Kratos may be on a Redemption Quest in the first game, but it's only because he wants to be able to sleep at night without being assaulted by memories of the awful deeds he has committed in the past, including murdering his own wife and child in blind, furious conquest. He has little to no qualms about slaughtering just about everybody he encounter if need be, either. By the start of the second game, he's stopped caring about redemption altogether, and just goes back to trying to help Sparta conquer the world. In the third game he had the power of hope inside of him the whole time after opening Pandora's box to fight Ares. He kills himself (or rather severely injures himself) with the Blade of Olympus, letting its power seep into the now ruined world and Athena is simply disappointed in Kratos. It is indeterminate if this was to truly atone or to spite Athena. It may have been a combination.

God of War (Video Game) / int_53677c0e	comment	Generational Trauma: The Cycle of Patricide is the hidden mechanism that set in motion both the beginning and the end of the Greek world: the cycle began when the Titan Cronos overthrew his father Uranus, only to be defeated by his son Zeus after a failed attempt to eat him as a baby (an oracle foretold the end of the Titan era at the hands of Cronos' children). This generational conflict is passed down onto Kratos, whose thirst for vengeance brings the destruction of Olympus and Zeus' demise. After becoming a father himself, Kratos was afraid to become the next victim of the cycle, but both he and his son Atreus learn to become the gods that they want to be and, as shown in God of War RagnarÃ¶k, they succeed in ending the patricide curse once and for all. Ragnarok reveals that Odin abused Thor for most of his life by telling him he's a Dumb Muscle only good for drinking and killing Giants and anyone else Odin tells him to kill. This in turn leads Thor to abuse his sons Magni and Modi to cope with his own self-loathing. After Kratos and Atreus kill them, Thor starts trying to sober up and become a better parent for his only surviving child: his daughter Thrud. Unfortunately, he's clueless as to how to go about it because he doesn't have any references for what a positive parental role is to go on.

During Kratos's mind trip, one of the many quotes you hear towards the end of it is "A Spartan never lets his back hit the ground... right, brother?" The very same thing that Ghost of Sparta reveals is what Kratos and Deimos always said to each other. Another Prequel Hook: One of Poseidon's battle quotes is "Atlantis will be avenged!". In Ghost Of Sparta it is revealed that Kratos' actions sunk Atlantis.

God of War (Video Game) / int_6331ba26	comment	Plot Hole: GoW I has Kratos retrieving Pandora's Box to gain the power to kill a god, with Zeus and the other gods actively helping him. However, GoW III retcons the box as not only having the power to kill a god inside it, it also contains all the evils born from the war between the titans and the gods. GoW III makes it clear that Zeus never intended the box to be opened. So why does he help Kratos retrieve the box when he fully knows what will happen if it were to be opened? And Athena, being the goddess of wisdom, really should have known better, and yet is advising him to open it. Another one: It would seem odd for Kratos to buy into Athena's story about needing to regain the power to kill a god when at that point he has already killed Poseidon, Hades and Helios. And in the case of Poseidon and Helios, with his bare hands. Not to mention the fact that he almost killed Zeus at the end of GoW II already.

After being reunited with his daughter, Persephone tells him about her plan to destroy the entire world using Atlas and the kidnapped Helios instead of keeping him in the dark about her plan and the fact that Calliope will cease to exist as well. Kratos gets the motivation he needs to stop her by killing the residents of the Elysian Fields in order to regain his power despite his daughter's pleas for him to stop, and goes on to fight Persephone. He defeats her and prevents the world's destruction, but he had to resort to evil actions in order to regain his powers to defeat her. As a result, he can no longer enter the Elysian Fields, so he will never see his daughter again. Although, he feels there's no place for him there because of what he did to put his daughter there in the first place, though it was an accident.

God of War (Video Game) / int_6c3d1777	comment	Magic A Is Magic A: Killing an immortal like a god or a titan is supposed to be a pretty big deal; Kratos spends the entirety of the first two games trying to get his hands on Pandora's Box or the Blade of Olympus just to have a viable way of killing off the god he's currently mad at, and at the end of 2 uses Time Travel to rescue the Titans to have a divine army of his own to storm Olympus. By 3, though, there's hardly a boss who isn't a god or primordial being of some kind, yet Kratos has no trouble killing most of them with his trademark chained blades or even his bare hands. During the opening portion alone Kratos is the only guy on his side who's effective at all against Poseidon, who one-shots several titans and effortlessly holds Gaia at bay, but is worn down by Kratos's blades and then becomes the first of the bare-handed kills mentioned above. The only god he needs to make any special effort for is Zeus himself. After everything's over something of an explanation is offered, that Kratos had absorbed the power of hope from Pandora's Box into himself all that time, but if it were any other character we'd have to ask if he's really so revenge-crazed he never once stops and asks why the gods are suddenly dropping like flies without the use of a supremely-powerful divine weapon.

God of War (Video Game) / int_71dfdccc	comment	Brush-Off Walk-Off: There are a few moments of this in the God of War series, where Kratos, despite his Blood Knight tendencies and Unstoppable Rage, is willing to spare his opponent's life if he thinks they're Not Worth Killing, but the opponent in question just has to do or say something that ticks him off and get themselves killed anyway. First up, in God of War III, Kratos dismissively shoves Hera away from him when she tries attacking him (and doesn't do very well at it, seeing as she's drunk), and is content to walk away. But then she decides to insult Pandora behind his back. Kratos immediately spins around, runs back to Hera, and gives the queen of the Olympians an undignified Neck Snap. Next, at the climax of God of War (PS4), Kratos is talked out of strangling Baldur by Atreus, and lets the Ax-Crazy young god go, after warning him not to come after his family again, or Baldur's mother Freya, who he was trying to kill earlier. Baldur, however, is too vengeful and deranged to listen to Kratos, and he starts strangling Freya as soon as he thinks Kratos is far away enough. The Spartan immediately has to save Freya by killing her son, even if she hates him for it. Finally, in God of War RagnarÃ¶k, there are two examples of this, one of which ends less bloodily than the other. Kratos yet again ends up fighting another Aesir god, Heimdall, and decides to spare his life after blowing off one of his arms, so long as he doesn't try to kill Atreus. Heimdall, however, furious at the idea of being pitied, goes through a Villainous Breakdown and attacks the Ghost of Sparta again before he can walk away, which means that the second time they fight, Kratos has no choice but to use lethal force. In the other case, Atreus and his new friend Angrboda have just defeated Angrboda's abusive grandmother Gryla, by destroying the magic cauldron that she keeps animal souls in to use them like a Fantastic Drug. Gryla, in drug-induced anger and despair, shouts at her granddaughter to Get Out!, and Angrboda obliges, whilst convincing Atreus not to shoot Gryla. On the way out, Gryla delivers a scathing "Reason You Suck" Speech to Angrboda, telling her granddaughter that no-one will remember her, not even Atreus. ("You'll just be a forgotten chapter in his story! He'll be too busy mourning his father!") Angrboda's expression makes it clear that her grandmother's words hurt her, but she doesn't respond to any of them and leaves Gryla's house silently, reminding Atreus that Gryla is a grieving, lost person, not a monster.

The armor can deflect nearly anything, even the Blade of Olympus wielded by Zeus himself. The ones the Fleece can't block are those attacks with a surface area large enough to hit parts of Kratos the fleece doesn't cover him. Sometimes it makes less sense, such as when the third punch in a three hit combo from Zeus in God of War III hurts him. The Guardian Shield from the Norse games can block lightning bolts, streams of lava, and blows from a god with none of the electricity, heat, or force from the blows doing even a fraction of damage to Kratos. It doesn't matter if the blow comes from a jaw too large for the shield to block or if the blow still has enough force to send Kratos sliding back a couple dozen yards, if the attack can be blocked, you don't get hurt.

God of War (Video Game) / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: Some of the gods are depicted as at least likely being much stronger than the Greek Myths presented them as. Ares, the Big Bad of the first game, is presented as a titanic warrior who requires a MacGuffin for Kratos to have a fighting chance against, where in the Greek myths he was a coward that would run away from a fight at the first sign of trouble despite being immortal (though Ares as an Adaptational Badass is also done in every other adaption of him—including Roman mythology), and Persephone in Chains of Olympus, who has never been dreaded for her close-quarters combat skill, is presented as being able to fight Kratos in hand-to-hand combat.

Sure his hatred for Kratos is justified but you forget that he kidnaps his niece and forces her to become his wife and when her mother demands her return, Hades tricks her into eating fruit from the underworld ensuring that she has to stay in the underworld at least 1/3 of the year. Persephone even hated him and the rest of the gods so much, she tried to destroy the world, herself included, just to be free of her miserable existence. Although Hades isn't as much of a Jerkass God as some of the other gods, he still, at least in those behaviors, counts somewhat.

If she wasn't providing assistance to their enemies, she was spawning monsters to kill them on her behalf. In the third game, Gaia turns on Kratos partly because his rampage has nearly destroyed the world.

God of War (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd	comment	Boss in Mook Clothing: The Greek game had a couple minions who seem like normal enemies, but are far hardier than their fellows monsters. The Centaurs. They almost never flinch, love interrupting your combos while you fight smaller mooks (because they always come with smaller mooks), have a crapton of health, and the QTE when they grab you requires super-human reflexes to win. The finishing move on them is one of the squickiest of the game, but you won't mind. Chimeras are a similar case, although they are arguable easier to deal with. Since there are only three centaurs in the first game, they could be considered Elite Mooks or minibosses. The Satyrs actually pay attention to your attacks and punish you for poor timing, making them incredibly difficult to deal with in groups or when fighting under time pressure. A testament to their difficulty is that you only fight them three times in the third game, with their last encounter being the penultimate fight before the final boss.

God of War (Video Game) / int_7ccd3698	comment	Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The series absolutely loves this trope. The first game features, among its bosses, a Hydra so large it more or less takes up the entire level, a gigantic robot/cyborg/Steampunk minotaur, and Ares, who could probably wrestle Godzilla. The sequel has Kratos get in on the act briefly, pulling a Godzilla-Of-War on Rhodes, and then fighting the Colossus of Rhodes while normal-sized. While Zeus is close to Kratos' size the time you fight him, he's still noticably larger than the already-abnormally-large Kratos. Titans, giant monsters, and oversize gods abound in the rest of the series. But in the 3rd game, the biggest enemy of all may be Cronos, who seems bigger than the SEARS TOWER! To give perspective, when he tries to squish you, your chain-swords can make a small mess on his fingernails. Not to mention the fact that he carries on his back the entire Temple of Pandora, which was the setting of the first game. If not him, than Poseidon may be the biggest boss out of everyone. The base of his body was at the base of Mount Olympus where the ocean is. The rest of his body was busy fighting Gaia and Kratos, at least halfway up the mountain. Ascension gives us Aegeon the Hekatonkheires. And he's the tutorial boss.

In the opening, the tatooed strangers starts mocking and aggravating Kratos as the music builds up in anticipation of Kratos laying a well-deserved smack-down on this idiot. Kratos lays him out with one punch and it seems like he's down for the count, only for the man to get up, send Kratos rocketing into the air with one punch, and fighting him on equal terms. Heimdall is so used to dodging every blow that he mocks people as a matter of principle, so when he comes across Kratos, he can't help but poke fun. Kraots pokes back.

Once Kratos killed Zeus, he realized that what he's done and he seemingly commits suicide, only for that to fail and for Kratos to spend the next 150 years regretting what he did and hating himself.

God of War (Video Game) / int_85557b38	comment	Reality Is Unrealistic: While designing the look of Kratos, and various other characters in the game, the art team was frustrated because they kept getting told that it "didn't look Greek enough." They were using actual Greek sources, and doing extensive research into Greek mythology in an effort to get everything correct. But eventually they came to realize that "Greek" should mean "Greek according to the general public," since that was the audience they were targeting. This might also explain why so many think the series is Darker and Edgier than the myths despite it actually being the other way around: so many people grow up with white-washed versions of the myths, and the games are certainly much darker and more brutal than the Ray Harryhausen movies that inspired them. One of the directors of the game justified the changes they made, explaining that the ancient writers were telling the stories in a way most appropriate to ancient Greece, while they're telling the myths in a way most appropriate to the 21st century.

Maybe she was smart enough not mess with Kratos, maybe she was killed offscreen by a Titan, we don't know We never really see what becomes of most of the other Titans assaulting Mount Olympus in God of War III, because Kratos is otherwise occupied for much of the game. We see at least one (Perses) about halfway through the game, but most of the rest apparently failed in their assault on the gods. We see two of them get knocked off the mountain mid-climb, but their survival or demise is left ambiguous. Apollo never once shows up. He's the only notable Olympian god never to, though you do get to use his bow in III. You can find a mural depicting Apollo in the Temple of the Oracle in Ascension, and a later part of the game involves traversing a statue of him. Apollo himself is still absent though. At the end of III, Aphrodite seems to be the only remaining goddess alive. That might screw with Kratos deciding to let mortals handle their own fate from then on... The mobile game God of War Betrayal ends with a mysterious assassin who kills Argos. His identity is never revealed but whether this game is canon or not is arguable.

God of War (Video Game) / int_8ebd7403	comment	Action Commands: It wasn't the first game series to feature them, but every single action command you see in games these days is because of how popular the series made them. The first seven games occasionally prompt Kratos to press a random button to kill certain enemies. Doing so spawns a bunch of orbs that increase his life and magic meters. Some enemies require action commands to be beaten: while for Mooks the finishing move is optional, they are required on bosses, which allows the game to turn each boss's demise into a Video Game Setpiece. God of War is the father of Quick Time Events. God of War III put a nifty, helpful spin on the standard formula: the on-screen prompt for each button appears relative to its position on the controller. For example, the prompt for the Triangle button is near the top edge of the screen. The Norse games generally only use quick-time events during cutscenes, rather than when being prompted to finish off an enemy. Unlike the previous game, you can often wait indefinitely to press the button with no consequence.

A fingernail on a normal person is more or less half an inch long, so doing the proportions, Kronos would be over 4,000 feet tall if he ever stood up.

God of War (Video Game) / int_9c6ba43a	comment	Just about everything. Besides the obvious — at no point in the original myths are the gods of Olympus massacred by an angry bald man — God of War makes an all-too common mistake modern adaptations of Greek myths often make: depicting the Greek pantheon as nothing else but ruthless tyrants who oppress and abuse humanity. While the aspect of The Olympians being petty in their grievances and disproportionate in the punishments are both all very true, there were indeed moments where The Olympians do show the capacity for being kind or generous to certain individuals. Values Dissonance reveals that many Greek myths were actually intended to be lighthearted at the time, and serve as reflections of the general disposition of the people they came from. The more Darker and Edgier elements were first conceived in the dark ages. It's somewhat justified in the ending of the final game where it turns out all the gods, including Zeus, were infected by humanity's evils after Kratos opened Pandora's Box in the first game.

God of War (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137	comment	Hyperspace Arsenal: Kratos spends most of the games in naught but a kind of battle skirt. It's OK, he's buff, he can pull it off. But it's sort of hard to figure out where Kratos stores his secondary weapons (a massive sword in the first game, a huge hammer and large spear in the second) with such little apparent storage space. There are also a collection of smaller trinkets Kratos carries around (Gorgon eyes, phoenix feathers, etc.) without having to place them anywhere. The first game at least tries to justify the sword - when you switch weapons, Kratos slams his regular blades together to form them into the sword; after all, it's a god's weapon.

God of War (Video Game) / int_9d17b859	comment	Made of Iron: Even before he becomes a god, Kratos is able to fall from any height and land on his feet with no ill effects. He can take a Minotaur's axe to the face and still keep fighting. He's able to hold onto the Blades of Chaos even when the chains are on fire and not get burned. All of this is justified, however, when you learn in the second game (and the bonus features of the first) that Kratos is Zeus' son, and therefore a demigod. This also explains why he possesses the superhuman strength required to perform most of his attacks, especially impaling the Hydra on the mast of a ship.

As the "action" starts, the camera pulls to the side, and focuses on a large vase on the nightstand. Then the room starts shaking and loud moans fill the air; if the player is successful, and the vase falls and breaks. Surprisingly, no congressional hearings were called on this one. Nor were they called for the second game, where he does it again, and during a battle, no less. This time, the shot cuts to a "peeing" cherub fountain... Chains of Olympus also features one in the middle of a pitched battle with Persians, no less. The third game, however, intentionally subverts this. While Kratos has sex with Aphrodite (technically his great-aunt by strange shenanigans regarding Ouranus's genitals, or his half-sister depending on the version) the camera pans... to two of Aphrodite's slave girls feeling each other up while watching the whole thing. The two handmaidens murmur about how it's for mature audiences and parents shouldn't let their children watch it while fondling each others' naked breasts... And actually, if you succeed there is another discretion shot, as the two maidens "go to the next step" and the camera pans back to Aphrodite.

Following a secret message in the original God of War, Ares' soul was confined to a small chamber in Kratos' throne room, to be tormented by an unknown force. This part may have been retconned out (see Aborted Arc). Dear God, what Aegaeon the Hecatonchires goes through in God of War: Ascension. For starters, when he broke his oath to Zeus, the Furies hunted him down and put him through the mother of all Fates Worse than Death: having his body hollowed out and turned into a giant prison for those who followed his example. And then Megaera uses her parasites to infest different parts of his body and turn them into monsters to fight Kratos. Judging by the way his eyes are moving when Megaera infests his head, he's still alive and fully conscious through it all. God of War: Chains of Olympus: After being defeated by Kratos, Atlas is shackled and forced to stand atop the Pillar of the World, carrying the world itself on his shoulders for all eternity. God of War II: After providing the Fires of Olympus to mankind, Prometheus was punished by Zeus by being stripped of his powers, chained to Typhon's fingers, and being disemboweled and Eaten Alive by a giant eagle every day, his wounds automatically healing by nightfall. Kratos actually ends up Mercy Killing him at his own request by burning him alive in the Fires of Olympus. Later revealed that the Olympians, most notably Zeus and Hades had planned this for Kratos, wanting him to suffer their personal tortures for all eternity, if dialogues during their boss fights were any indication. Zeus due to the fear and paranoia that Kratos was out to usurp the Olympian Throne, and Hades due to Kratos murdering his nephew, niece, wife and his brother by the time of their boss fight.

God of War (Video Game) / int_ab998a84	comment	Already Undone for You: When Kratos traverses the dungeons to get to Pandora's Box/The Sisters of Fate, he finds that hundreds of adventurers have died trying to get the treasure as well. (Their bodies are lying all over the place, and you even fight a few others en route in the second game.) This is all very well and good, except that not only do many of the doors require all manner of oddly shaped keys to open (from a ram's horn to specific human skulls) but also in order to progress it is often necessary for Kratos to smash through walls and on occasion destroy entire buildings. Apparently the temples rebuild themselves every time someone eats it on the way there.

In the third game, it's revealed that he wasn't actually fully evil, he was just consumed by the evils of Pandora's Box, which came out when Kratos opened it.

God of War (Video Game) / int_acf33d00	comment	Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Persephone had just gotten Kratos to cast aside his blades and renounce his powers as the Ghost of Sparta so that he can be with his daughter in the Elysian Fields. All she needs to do in order to win is leave him alone for a few hours so that her plan can be completed while he's playing with Calliope. Instead she makes a point of telling him that she's the villain of the game (Something he didn't have the slightest inkling of until she explained her plan), and that thanks to his actions the world will soon be destroyed, and that the Elysian Plains and all the spirits living there will be destroyed with it. This motivates Kratos to reclaim his powers and save the world. Mere moments later she prevents Kratos from falling to his death, just because she wants to kill him herself in an epic duel. Needless to say, she fails.

God of War (Video Game) / int_ad9fbc1e	type	Pyrrhic Victory
God of War (Video Game) / int_ad9fbc1e	comment	Pyrrhic Victory: The series loves this trope. In the first game, Kratos succeeds in killing Ares, the god who is responsible for most of his suffering, however, Athena refuses to rid Kratos of the memories that have haunted him since he made a deal with Ares because she said that his sins would be forgiven, not forgotten. She does make him the new God of War in Ares' place, but Ghost of Sparta reveals that he never wanted to be the thing that has haunted him the most. Kratos searches for his long lost brother, Deimos, who was taken from him since they were kids. He does succeed in finding him, however, Deimos isn't happy to see him, and they fight one another. Then, because Kratos killed Erinys, Thanatos decides to kill Kratos' brother for killing his daughter. The brothers team up to fight Thanatos, however, Deimos dies. Kratos succeeds in killing Thanatos thanks to his anger over his dead brother but it doesn't feel like a victory, especially considering Deimos' death was Kratos' fault. Chains of Olympus has one where Kratos finds his dead daughter, Calliope, and decides to strip himself of his power so that he can enter the Elysian Fields where Colliope resides. After being reunited with his daughter, Persephone tells him about her plan to destroy the entire world using Atlas and the kidnapped Helios instead of keeping him in the dark about her plan and the fact that Calliope will cease to exist as well. Kratos gets the motivation he needs to stop her by killing the residents of the Elysian Fields in order to regain his power despite his daughter's pleas for him to stop, and goes on to fight Persephone. He defeats her and prevents the world's destruction, but he had to resort to evil actions in order to regain his powers to defeat her. As a result, he can no longer enter the Elysian Fields, so he will never see his daughter again. Although, he feels there's no place for him there because of what he did to put his daughter there in the first place, though it was an accident. God of War III has the biggest example of this. After all of his years of suffering because of the Gods of Olympus, especially Zeus, he succeeds in killing Zeus and destroying Olympus. However, he realizes that because he was so dead set on revenge he destroyed the world by plunging it into chaos, also, he then realizes that though many have wronged him a lot of his suffering was his fault. In the end, he wasn't satisfied with killing Zeus, so it wasn't worth all the death and destruction he caused. Kratos finally gives a damn about others.

God of War (Video Game) / int_aed65980	type	All for Nothing
God of War (Video Game) / int_aed65980	comment	All for Nothing: Four examples: In Chains of Olympus, Kratos spends most of it chasing after his daughter in the Underworld, even going so far as to give up his weapons, magic, and appearance. Then Persephone comes along and reveals that the world is about to end, and the only way for Kratos to save it is to sacrifice being with the child he fought so hard to be reunited with. While fighting Ares, the God of War traps Kratos in a separate dimension where his family is attacked by dopplegangers of him. He succeeds in defending his family, only for Ares to rip his weapons out of his forearms and kill his wife and child again. Although, it is possible that Lysandra and Calliope were just magic duplicates and thus had no chance of living at all, but the effort is still in vain. The original game and its prequel Chains of Olympus have Kratos doing various tasks for the gods in exchange for freedom from the nightmares caused by him murdering his wife and child in blind rage. As it turns out, they never explicitly said they would do that, only that he would be forgiven for his sins, making ten years of servitude almost completely pointless. In God of War III, Athena tells Kratos he must open Pandora's Box to destroy Zeus and spends the game trying to get to it and extinguishing the lethal flame guarding it. He rescues its namesake with the intention of offering her to the flame, but he has a change of heart and cannot go through with it. Then Zeus appears, and after the first of three final boss fights, Pandora runs to the flames. Kratos catches her and tries to prevent her from getting sucked in, but Zeus pisses him off so much he releases Pandora to tackle Zeus. The flames are gone, Pandora is dust, and Kratos opens the box to reveal... Nothing. It's empty, rendering pretty much the entire game and the Pandora plotline moot. The soundtrack for this moment is even called "All for Nothing".

God of War (Video Game) / int_b1720bc6	comment	Divine Conflict: Being based on Classical Mythology, the Greek Saga has several conflicts between immortals. There was the war between the Gods and the Titans, the conflict between the primordial beings, and the demigod Kratos' own battles between pretty much any divine being who dares stand in his way. Zeus has expilicitly forbidden these conflicts, which ironically why they recruited the mortal Kratos to fight Ares. Once he gets a taste for divine blood, he can't stop hungering for more. The Norse Saga has the war between the Aesir and Vanir gods and the conflict between the Aesir and the JÃ¶tnar. The former was provoked when some Aesir burned the Vanir Freyr after they mishandled the magic he had taught them and blamed him instead, and only got a truce when Mimir suggested a marriage between Odin and Freya to unite both clans. The latter was a result of Odin's desire for the JÃ¶tnar's secrets and prophecies and the killing of Ymir, the ancestor of all JÃ¶tnar, through his hands.

In Ghost of Sparta, Deimos had been caught by Ares and Athena and put into Thanatos' dominion.

Older and Wiser, he leaves this behind in the Norse era, especially considering he was greatly griefing the loss of his second wife Faye.

But the source of most of his angst stems from how he was tricked into killing his wife and daughter (while he was out massacring a village in Ares' name), and his personal war against Olympus in the second and third games happened after they tried to kill him for his excessive warmongering. Kratos is pissed that his family is dead and blames Ares for tricking him. Yet without a thought he slaughters the entire family of gods if they remain in his path and previously spent a decade leading his men killing civilians inhabiting the villages and cities he attacked including innocent women and possibly children. He doesn't give much thought to it either after he starts to "reform."

God of War (Video Game) / int_bba30aeb	comment	Late to the Tragedy: Kratos can find several journal passages from the architect who constructed Pandora's Temple. They don't serve to forward the plot at all, but it's very interesting nonetheless to watch him design the temple, slowly go mad, kill his sons, turn their skulls into keys you use to unlock doors, and eventually pull a murder-suicide on his wife.

God of War (Video Game) / int_bc1865fb	comment	The boat captain who constantly has the bad luck of running into Kratos and not surviving, or being referenced otherwise. Even when already dead, he can't escape his wrath. He is seen or referenced in all of the games of the franchise, apart from the ones made for PlayStation Portable and Mobile. After being killed by Kratos in God of War by being thrown into the Hydra's throat, he is seen in the Underworld trying to avoid falling in the River Styx by holding onto a bridge, only for Kratos to use him as a leverage after he was killed by Ares and then kicking him into the depths below. In God of War II, he is one of the spirits summoned by the Barbarian King to be one of his mooks. Surprised to see Kratos, he tries to run away, and is yet again killed by the Spartan. In God of War III, a note made by him can be read in the Underworld, in which he blames Kratos for his torment. In God of War: Ascension, an artifact called "Boat Captain's idol" can be found in a sunken ship. One of the treasure maps in God of War (PS4) was written by one of the members of the captain's crew, saying how, with the captain in the Hydra's belly, he had his key and ship, and the message eventually ended up in Norse lands. And finally, on a far sadder note, a much more mature Kratos mentions the boat captain in his journal when writing about the Lyngbakr in God of War RagnarÃ¶k, expressing regret with how needlessly cruel he was to the man. Even after centuries, Kratos still regrets all the times he made people like the captain suffer for his own selfishness and needless cruelty as the Ghost of Sparta.

God of War (Video Game) / int_be102b6a	comment	GÃ¶tterdÃ¤mmerung: The Greek trilogy explains why Greek myths aren't around anymore. The deicidal mission of Kratos can be seen as a catalyst for the age of men and Christianity. In God of War II Kratos visits the Temple of the Fates where it is possible to notice the presence of three murals that describe past and future events. The first of them describes the war between gods and titans, the second depicts a lonely man surrounded by chaos (resembling the ending of III') while the last mural shows three men walking towards a star in the sky, alluding the journey of the Three Wise Men towards the birth of Jesus Christ guided by the Star of Bethlehem. It is possible that this last prophecy will be fullfilled in the years to come. At the end of his journey Kratos have annihilated most of the greek pantheon, while the deities who survived his rampage likely vanished in the unsuing chaos (along with the Titans and most of the Greek mythological creatures). With all the greek gods and goddesses destroyed and the power of Hope released to humanity people of Greece can reborn in a world freed by the old pagan deities and embrace the new monotheistic religion of Christ. In the original draft by David Jaffe, the series would have followed the Norse and Egyptian Kratos' counterparts destroying the gods of Asgard and the Egyptian Pantheon and (unconsciusly) bringing monotheism to their respective worlds. It is unknown if the new course of the series (set in the Norse miyhology) will partially follow the original script.

God of War (Video Game) / int_beb9a361	type	Anti-Hero
God of War (Video Game) / int_beb9a361	comment	Anti-Hero: Kratos, despite being the hero of the story, is a sociopathic warrior who has little to no compunction over the numerous lives that he has taken. His only humanizing trait is his love for his wife and daughter. Later, Pandora's influence does help him to examine his actions. He actually seems genuinely regretful when he observes the damage he caused after his final battle. But the franchise must continue and Kratos must slip back to his basic character. In God of War III, he kills gods and titans that he himself, though unknowingly in this case, is responsible for making evil in the first place. Interestingly, Kratos is pretty close to what antique cultures would've considered "heroic". It could even be argued that in the transition from the second and third installments, he went from anti-hero to villain himself, making him no better than the gods he was hunting down and murdering. Hints of this are shown all over the saga, even in the first game, and after he replaced Ares to become the same, or even worse. The fourth game has him refer to the events of the older titles with regret, and he actively fears Atreus would follow in his footsteps.

God of War (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b	comment	Nonstandard Game Over: During the final battle in the first game, Kratos is hurled back to the moment he killed his family, only to find them alive... whereupon Ares conjures up an army of Kratos clones. The family has their own health bar in the following battle; should it run out, a cutscene starts, showing Kratos collapsing in abject despair and sorrow, murmuring, "Not again..." The Kratos clones then gang up and chop him apart. During one of the last battles in the second game, Kratos is hurled back to the moment that he defeated Ares. The boss, Atropos, was going to destroy the giant sword you originally used in the first game to slay the god of war, which would lead to your retroactive death. If you failed to defeat Atropos before she could destroy the sword, you get a cutscene of past Kratos kneeling in defeat and getting stabbed by Ares, which causes present Kratos to wretch in pain and fall over, dead. In God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta, Kratos runs into King Midas, who lunges at him. Fail the Quick Time Event, and Midas will grab Kratos, turning him to solid gold.

Kratos? He kills a few people if apparent need be, but mostly just chops up monsters. Doesn't even have a single known case of rape to his name. It also has the same approach to the Greek gods as well; while Zeus is still a heinous bastard, he was far, far worse in numerous stories featuring him, and Ares, rather than working towards any specific goal, existed to incite wars for shits and giggles.

You need to solve a puzzle to be able to climb up to a certain platform, and then a Timed Mission starts in which you must navigate an obstacle course to reach her. However, you can Take Your Time in reaching that platform, despite her cries of agony.

God of War (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb	type	Escort Mission
God of War (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb	comment	Escort Mission: Cleverly, if brutally, twisted in these games. In the original, you need to push a cage containing an Athenian soldier up an enemy-infested ramp. Of course, you're only protecting him in order to burn him alive at the top of the ramp and move on in the temple. He pleads for his life the whole way up. In the sequel, you have to protect a translator who can read a holy incantation and help you advance. The incantation indicates that a blood sacrifice is called for, so you slam his face repeatedly into the book... In God of War II, he puts a wounded soldier on a Conveyor Belt of Doom to jam it. Kratos does this again in God of War III, dragging "Poseidon's Princess", along with him in order to use her still living body to jam a gear mechanism so that he can make it through a door. She is very painfully crushed. God of War has a more compassionate escort mission in the form of the second stage of the final boss, where you must protect a stationary target from a horde of enemies. Surprisingly averted with Pandora in God of War III. While you help her get to Pandora's Box, she only really is in dire need of protection from enemies maybe twice. She is quite competent at avoiding enemy attacks, which is great, due to the major enemy rushes that happen.

You're also offered a chance to lower the difficulty if you're consistently dying in the same area again and again...which falls apart when the difficulty levels only change combat difficulty, and you're far more likely to die repeatedly on the platforming sections.

To be fair, however, the games are actually pretty accurate as to how they acted in actual Greek myth. Exceptions include Athena at least, until the end of III, Hephaestus, and Artemis. Hades? He's hardly a nice guy. Sure his hatred for Kratos is justified but you forget that he kidnaps his niece and forces her to become his wife and when her mother demands her return, Hades tricks her into eating fruit from the underworld ensuring that she has to stay in the underworld at least 1/3 of the year. Persephone even hated him and the rest of the gods so much, she tried to destroy the world, herself included, just to be free of her miserable existence. Although Hades isn't as much of a Jerkass God as some of the other gods, he still, at least in those behaviors, counts somewhat. Kratos himself qualifies with his ruthless rampages when he was the god of war.

The trope is then downplayed in III when it is revealed that the box indeed contained the evils of the world, and hope, since always.

However, when you receive a new upgrade in Ascension, you will receive a new weapon element. While that sounds good enough, the problem is you will only utilize their powers if you either max your rage level which requires you not get hit (Which in this game, is incredibly difficult), or if you waste your red orbs just to level the weapon to its maximum with the sole exception of the fire element where you will receive the magic. Essentially, when you first received it, it's no better than an ordinary weapon and since you couldn't even switch the element, the showcase sections has turned from feeling badass about your new powers into one of the most tedious enemy sections in the game in one of the worst level designs possible.

The fact that both of them are voiced by the same voice actor in the Japanese version doesn't help either, though development and personality-wise, they differ: Kongman ended up becoming a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and his jerk moments in original were relatively harmless, Kratos went full blown Villain Protagonist that destroys everything and only in the end that he might have done something selfless to make up for all those, whether it's for good or bad. Kratos also bears a strong resemblance to the classical mythical version of Heracles: Heracles was the founder of the Spartan people, killed his wife in a fit of rage, and became a god as part of the reward for completing a series of tasks given him by the Olympian Gods when he sought their forgiveness for killing his wife, all closely mirrored by Kratos.

God of War (Video Game) / int_e543a655	comment	Light Is Not Good: Helios, specially considering how fire is equated with light in the third game, and to a lesser extent Zeus, with his lightning bolts, and Hermes, who has his hair made of light in the third game (in the second he appears to have flaming hair; the character design hadn't settled by that time yet). Also Athena, specially after her "death", in which she became something akin to an angel. The Light Elves seem to be innocent victims from the Dark Elves pursuit for their light, but in truth they ruined Alfheim's ecosystem by harnessing the power of the light for themselves and attack anyone they consider to be a threat to their war against their dark relatives.

Nothing will ever stand in his way for revenge, whether it's barbarians, other Greek soldiers, nasty monsters, geographic difficulties, the fires of Hades, the gods or Death and Fate itself. All those who are unlucky enough to do it anyway WILL be very sorry. Also The Barbarian King, who fought Hades just as hard as Kratos, and the Last Spartan soldier, who came just as far as Kratos in the temple of the Sisters of Fate, even though he was just a mere mortal.

A new variation appears in the new 2018 game. Kratos is trapped while water rises around his position, and his son Atreus must solve the puzzle before Kratos drowns. It doesn't help that Spikes of Doom in the ceiling threaten to skewer them both shortly after.

God of War (PS4) takes place within Norse Mythology, but Mimir was apparently a Celtic fae originally and according to the relics found in Tyr's Vault, Egyptian, Japanese, Mayan, and possibly other realms exist as well in this universe. And if the mural of the Three Wise Men being guided by the Star of Bethlehem in the Temple of the Fates in God of War II is any indication, the big-G God and the angels are out there.

The only thing he ever thinks about is "My vengeance, my vengeance!", he does nothing for no one and usually kills everyone around him, enemy or not. Every one of his actions usually makes things worse and for most the gods he's killed untold many died as a direct consequence. Can be even more jarring if you stop to think about it for a while and notice that, despite his rising-to-enormous levels of jerkassery, Kratos is still labeled as ideal by some characters! It's true that Greek "heroes" behaved like huge jerkasses more than once, but Kratos takes it further regarding the scope of consequences for his actions.

God of War (Video Game) / int_f11c3835	comment	Anti-Grinding: There are a limited number of enemies, preventing you from grinding to get Red Orbs and in addition, after you kill enough number of respawning enemies, they will not spawn anymore Red Orbs. However, you can circumvent this once- the area where you get Medusa's Head has enemies that respawn unless you kill them by petrifying them and you have infinite magic until you accomplish this. While they quickly stop giving you Red Orbs from killing them, you can still get them for getting large combos, which is easily accomplished by endlessly spamming Poseidon's Rage on them. There's also another way to get an unlimited amount of Red Orbs later in the game, but this relies more on a Good Bad Bug which involves killing a Harpy at a specific location so that it falls on specific piece of level geometry while dying, gets stuck in its dying animation and continues spewing out an endless stream of Red Orbs.

God of War (Video Game) / int_f642b1f9	comment	You Bastard!: The series he is in is based on Greek Mythology. The player has to do completely heartless things like smash a person's head on stone from an altar, which the player drags him to while he is screaming "No! No! Get away from me!" (this is from the second game). There is no resistance from the man or a way to stop this if you wish to progress...twice. In the first game, Kratos is a champion of the Gods, in the second, he is a champion of the Titans, who eventually kills the Fates, which gives him the ability of time travel. This may sound fine, but the level of bloody violence is so much so it was mentioned on the back cover. Then again, at that time morality was different, and they are not afraid to show some of it. Also, Kratos commits an act of treachery at the beginning of the second game. The plot revolves around being and/or doing evil. Just look at the page mentioned above for more examples. However, in the third game several characters (most notably Hermes) tell him how much of a bastard he is being in enough ways, as well as him gaining a sort of Morality Pet in Pandora. It actually affects him enough that he makes a slight Heelâ€“Face Turn more towards the end. In God Of War III, Kratos can find letters in Hades written about him. One is from his mother lamenting how everything around her son dies and that she failed as a mother, and another is from the boat captain damning Kratos to Hades.

The result? They're not happy, and have him attacked by the Colossus of Rhodes or cause The Kraken show up to squeeze him to death. He seems to have learned in this department by the third game, though. The boat captain who constantly has the bad luck of running into Kratos and not surviving, or being referenced otherwise. Even when already dead, he can't escape his wrath. He is seen or referenced in all of the games of the franchise, apart from the ones made for PlayStation Portable and Mobile. After being killed by Kratos in God of War by being thrown into the Hydra's throat, he is seen in the Underworld trying to avoid falling in the River Styx by holding onto a bridge, only for Kratos to use him as a leverage after he was killed by Ares and then kicking him into the depths below. In God of War II, he is one of the spirits summoned by the Barbarian King to be one of his mooks. Surprised to see Kratos, he tries to run away, and is yet again killed by the Spartan. In God of War III, a note made by him can be read in the Underworld, in which he blames Kratos for his torment. In God of War: Ascension, an artifact called "Boat Captain's idol" can be found in a sunken ship. One of the treasure maps in God of War (PS4) was written by one of the members of the captain's crew, saying how, with the captain in the Hydra's belly, he had his key and ship, and the message eventually ended up in Norse lands. And finally, on a far sadder note, a much more mature Kratos mentions the boat captain in his journal when writing about the Lyngbakr in God of War RagnarÃ¶k, expressing regret with how needlessly cruel he was to the man. Even after centuries, Kratos still regrets all the times he made people like the captain suffer for his own selfishness and needless cruelty as the Ghost of Sparta.

God of War (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	type	Sequence Breaking
God of War (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Sequence Breaking: Entire communities on GameFAQs and YouTube are devoted to finding new breaks, primarily for the three console games. It's possible to beat the entire first game without collecting any magic or the Blade of Artemis. In the second game, it's possible, even without Bonus Play, to use an out-of-bounds swimming glitch to essentially warp from acquiring the Amulet of the Fates straight to Icarus (the downside being that you have to play the rest of the game without the Barbarian Hammer, Head of Euryale, Golden Fleece or Spear of Destiny. An easier, more obvious non-glitch sequence break that most everyone will pull off on their New Game Plus is releasing Prometheus from his chains and dropping him into the fires of Olympus without having to take on Typhon, as you start out with every magic spell, including Typhon's Bane.

God of War (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	type	Hopeless Boss Fight
God of War (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: Kratos' first encounter with Zeus in God of War II. The game doesn't even let you attack effectively. The battle in question takes place right after your power is drained, and the hand of Colossus smashes Kratos. Thus, you can't roll or jump, your fastest attack takes about three seconds to perform, and you can only limp to where you want to go. Try to make Kratos jump here - he bends his legs, grunts, then straightens them again as if to say "Yeah, not gonna happen." Something similar happens during the first few moments fighting the Kraken, also in II. When you press a button, Kratos merely screams out "I cannot change my fate!" or something to that effect until you get to a scripted point that gives him an ability upgrade and, of course, the will to fight on. The prequel Chains of Olympus also has a scripted defeat against Charon, who cannot be beaten without Zeus' Gauntlet which you get from a statue of Zeus in the Tartarus (after Charon gleefully tosses your defeated ass down there). This holds true even in bonus play, where having the gauntlet doesn't matter, because then Charon's pillars aren't actually destructible.

God of War (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb	type	Cruelty Is the Only Option
God of War (Video Game) / int_fc25c2fb	comment	Cruelty Is the Only Option: One of the most notorious traits of the series in general. Many are the times when you are forced to do something cruel or spectacularly brutal to someone in order to advance. In the first game, the infamous sequence requiring you to sacrifice a live soldier to solve a puzzle, with him wailing and begging for his life the entire time. This is the harshest example, but the game is full of this sort of thing. Quick-time events in God of War II forcing the player to smash helpless old men's skulls in as blood sacrifices. Murdering everyone in Elysium in God of War: Chains of Olympus, as well as shoving away Kratos's daughter as a Quick Time Event. About half of God of War III, including: Burning a helpless prisoner in Hades to death while he screams and cries for help purely because you want the bow he offered if you freed him anyways. Throwing helpless and terrified civilians to their deaths every so often. The various grotesquely violent executions of the Gods, including beating victims to death with your bare hands, smashing in another's face until the skin is literally stripped from the skull, and pulling a crippled, helpless God's head off bare-handed seemingly just because you can. Then using it as a lamp. And finally, the ''coup de grace'': an entire escort sequence where you force along Poseidon's Princess to a heavy door, just so she can be tied to the door-opening mechanism, which kills her quite brutally once you're through the door. Considering she's begging for her life the whole way, this veers very close to Player Punch territory for all but the most cold-hearted of gamers.

This form is often confused with Charybdis, but there's nothing in the game to confirm the relation between the two. Also Thanatos and Erinys in Ghost of Sparta.

God of War (Video Game) / int_fcc33b8b	type	First Injury Reaction
God of War (Video Game) / int_fcc33b8b	comment	First Injury Reaction: Occurs in both of the Norse games. God of War (PS4): When Baldur is stabbed by the mistletoe arrowhead and feels the pain, he stops fighting to laugh in glee at the return of his senses. Also overlaps with Not His Blood, when Kratos sees blood on Atreus after the exchange, who clarifies whose blood it is. God of War RagnarÃ¶k: Heimdall is gifted with Combat Clairvoyance and is fast enough to casually dodge most attacks he can see, making him quite smug about it. At the end of a Curb-Stomp Battle Heimdall serves out to Atreus the first time he visits Asgard (in which Atreus can't hit him once), Atreus decides to fire an arrow at his head from behind. Heimdall manages to catch the arrow, but he doesn't do it quite right, which means the arrow gives his hand a small nick and sprays a little blood onto his face. Judging by Heimdall's expression, he clearly wants to hurt the boy even more, and the only reason he doesn't is because Thor shows up and intimidates him into standing down. Heimdall has a decidedly less positive reaction to Kratos being the first to land a direct hit on him in a long time. While he starts the fight taunting and provoking Kratos, confident that the Ghost of Sparta will die before he can even scratch him, he briefly loses it when Kratos eventually punches him hard enough to draw blood.

God of War (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7	comment	Everything Trying to Kill You: Considering how ruthless and bloodthirsty Kratos is, and the atrocities he's committed in the backstory, it's actually quite surprising that Kratos is rarely the one who starts the fight (during the games' events, at least). Most fights are against monsters that attack Kratos on first sight, while the dialogue in boss fights usually makes clear it's the boss the one who's starting hostilities against Kratos, for whatever reason, with Kratos sometimes outright declaring he considers his opponent Not Worth Killing and trying to avoid the fight (which seems a bit like Moral Myopia considering those bosses tend to be the same ones that call Kratos a violent murderer — yeah, just before attacking Kratos without provocation).
