God of War (PS4) (Video Game)	comment	God of War is a 2018 sequel to God of War III and the eighth installment in the God of War series, developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio for PlayStation 4, released on April 20, 2018. A port for Microsoft Windows was released on January 14, 2022.Long ago, a Semi-Divine warrior named Kratos destroyed the pantheon of Ancient Greece in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after the gods took his wife and daughter. Centuries later, in a land far to the North, the now immortal Kratos tries to live quietly with his wife Faye and their young son named Atreus. However, after Faye dies, Kratos and Atreus must leave their home to fulfill Faye's last wish: to scatter her ashes from the top of the highest peak among the Nine Realms. This seemingly straightforward quest soon becomes much more complicated, especially since Kratos and Atreus have somehow run afoul of the Norse pantheon, who have sent a mysterious and nigh-invincible stranger to hunt the duo down. At the same time, Kratos, who has spent Atreus's life a cold and distant father, must learn to finally open himself up and forge a genuine bond with his son.The game is a departure from the rest of the series in that it abandons the Stylish Action aspects of previous games, taking the action down a notch in favor of a more grounded and gritty Hack and Slash style of gameplay, reflected in that Kratos' main weapon is now the Leviathan Axe or that the camera never goes far from Kratos' shoulder. Moreover, the game features Atreus as an Assist Character and focuses on the strained-then-mended relationship between the two, as well as their self-discovery throughout the journey. He still fights legendary monsters and Norse Gods, though.A sequel, God of War RagnarÃ¶k, was released on 9 November 2022 on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.There was also a novelization by J.M Barlog.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_105d50b1	comment	Psychological Torment Zone: Beyond a certain point in Helheim, illusions of an individual's past begin to appear to torment them with their regrets. These cloud-based "illusions", however, are real objects in the world that anyone present can see, leading to awkwardness when Atreus witnesses Kratos killing Zeus. Father and son also get to learn of Baldur and Freya's falling out this way.

Afterwards, Kratos realizes that Atreus is in danger and they immediately begin their quest to scatter Faye's ashes. Actually subverted. The Call was actually looking for a Giant, but didn't realize that was his deceased wife, but his comments made it sound like he was talking about Kratos.

Mimir notices how Bergelmir could've sought vengeance against the Aesir for drowning his people in the blood of their ancestor, but he instead chose his revenge to be living on, having many children with his wife and thus ensuring that the Giants would continue to thrive instead of disappearing.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: Not too horrible an example on "Balanced Experience" difficulty aside from a few encounters, but it's played very straight on "Challenge" and "God of War". To start, you have much less options and a much weaker weapon that would outscale everything in the lower difficulties near the end of the journey. Not only that, because all of the stats are still very low, a small horde of dragurs can seem borderline impossible to deal with without resorting to cheesing. And the worst part is that the axe you start with is specialized for individual targets. It's not until about halfway/two thirds of the way through the game that you unlock the Blades of Chaos which are more designed for crowd control.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: On their way to JÃ¶tunheim, Atreus says that nothing can stop them. Cue HrÃ¦zlyr, a gigantic dragon, doing exactly that. Mimir outright namedrops this trope when Atreus says it again while they're inside the World Serpent. Cue Baldur. At one point, Kratos, Atreus and Mimir are looking for an artifact they need to progress while trying to avoid being found by Magni and Modi. Mimir says that if they're quick they can find it and be gone before Magni and Modi know they're there; immediately, Magni stumbles upon them. When Kratos, Atreus and Mimir reach the lost JÃ¶tunheim Tower, Kratos asks Mimir what will happen next, and Mimir says that he doesn't know but after what they went through to get that far, "I'm sure we're past the worst of it." Immediately they're attacked by a horde of monsters, and Mimir retracts his statement.

In contrast to the typical "humans but with pointy ears" portrayal, the LjÃ³sÃ¡lfr are depicted as floating angelic beings, while the SvartÃ¡lfar are dark humanoids with insect wings. The SvartÃ¡lfar are in fact invading the realm and are seen killing hapless civilians, but Kratos warns Atreus to not be too quick to think the LjÃ³sÃ¡lfar are entirely innocent in this affair, since they don't know anything about what started the conflict.

After the first time, Atreus asks if they should expect more, to which Kratos replies "definitely." And then a dragon attacks them. When Atreus and Kratos visit the village Thamur has crushed, they use a sand bowl to levitate a large stone plate up to their next objective. The action sequence is spiced up because enemies keep harassing them, preventing Atreus from continually writing the rune keeping the stone whole and floating, forcing Kratos to dispatch them quickly.

So he decided to just travel to a distant land through ship.

In the game proper, the one landing that hit on Kratos is actually the Stranger. The same trailer also suggested that Atreus could understand the World Serpent's language, as Kratos asks him what it's saying and Atreus responds "He wants to help us!" In the actual game, Atreus' respond to Kratos asking what it's saying is "I don't know!", and they eventually get the help of Mimir to speak with him.

Out of options and desperate to save his son, Kratos is forced to unearth the Blades of Chaos which, due to being forged by Greek magic, are able to maintain their fire even in Helheim. Lampshaded by Brok, who immediately starts marvelling over the Blades of Chaos the first time he sees them.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Kratos's Fatal Flaw is no longer an inability to accept responsibility for his mistakes like in the original trilogy. Now, it's his inability to open up and explain things that causes problems for him and his son. Due to his hands-off distant parenting, Atreus has grown up thinking his father resents him for being weak. This has resulted in Atreus being both somewhat bitter towards Kratos while also being overly eager to prove that he's strong, hoping this will earn him his father's love. The reality is that Kratos is too afraid to get close to Atreus due to his past and wants to hide his nature as a god from him. This isn't just damaging their familial bond — it's actually killing Atreus. Because he is unaware of his godhood and thinks of himself as a mortal, the inherent contradiction in his nature is warring within him, manifesting as a life-threatening illness. This comes to a head after Kratos sadly claims that Atreus is cursed due to the divine blood he inherited from Kratos. Atreus ends up overhearing only part of what Kratos said, leading him to believe that Kratos thinks Atreus is a cursed weakling. This convinces Kratos to finally start opening up to his son. The first thing he does is reveal that he is a god, and even after this he keeps key tidbits away from Atreus that cause the boy to go Drunk with Power. Case in point, Kratos mentions that there are consequences to killing gods after Atreus kills Modi, and refuses to elaborate: predictably, Atreus blows him off and continues on his path down the slippery slope. A great deal of the game would have turned out differently had The Stranger explicitly stated what he wanted and asked politely instead of saying "You know what I want" and threatening to kill Kratos to get it.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Many of the Aesir Gods are portrayed as more vicious and cruel than in mythology. Baldur was regarded as the kindest and pure of all gods in the Norse pantheon. Here, he is a psychotic madman who wants to kill his mother for making him invulnerable and inadvertently taking away his senses (and she only did this for his own protection). Odin himself gets hit with this pretty bad, as the emphasis on his more negative traits makes him worse than Zeus. The All-Father is shown as a controlling Evil Overlord that spies on every living being in the Nine Worlds, is willing to kill anyone he perceives as a threat to him (even if they aren't at the moment), including other gods such as Tyr, tortures others as a hobby, and has a knack for finding new ways to inflict pain on his victims (one of them being Mimir, who was a close friend of his in mythology whom he brought back to life after being beheaded by the Vanir). It's said that everything he does is to prevent Ragnarok, but his actions paint him in a self-serving light, out to preserve his own power. The Aesir in general, though primarily gods of war and death in the original mythology, are portrayed as being far more brutish and savage than they were in the mythology. Odin's slaying of Ymir is treated similarly to Zeus overthrowing the Titans â€” i.e. an usurpation. According to the Poetic Edda, however, Odin only killed Ymir after he "became evil". Considering what the Titans eventually revealed themselves to be in the original trilogy, though, it's possible things aren't quite so black-and-white as we're led to believe with the Aesir and Jotnar.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Even though Midgard is in a much better shape than what Greece was left at the end of God of War III, it's hardly any better than what it used to be before that either. For starters, it's a Grim Up North land and slowly getting worse, first flooded by a Desolation, then subjected to increasingly bad winters, and finally being overrun by undead. The few humans encountered are cannibals, and Kratos assumes the ones that aren't won't be friendly either. The Aesir are just as bad as the Olympians and are implied to have been corrupted somehow, with Odin going drunk with power and reducing the Nine Worlds to ruin and doing everything in his power to prevent others from overthrowing him. Even Alfheim, the most gorgeous location visited by the leads, is consumed by war between the light elves and the dark elves, though Mimir later points out that this is normal, with control of the Light going back and forth all the time. Kratos and Atreus ultimately just prevented one of the flips from completing, nothing more.

Kratos strongly disapproves of this because he doesn't want Atreus to follow in his footsteps. At the end of the game, it's revealed that Atreus is destined to bring about Ragnarok, the same way his father was the Marked Warrior that brought Olympus' downfall.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: When the Stranger first comes to Kratos' house, Kratos orders Atreus to hide in a hidden room underneath the floorboards. Atreus protests that Kratos usually never wants him to go down there, and a cloth bundle is briefly visible. Later in the game, Kratos retrieves the bundle, which contains the Blades of Chaos that he's hidden from his son. Early in the game, Kratos and Atreus navigate an abandoned tunnel once used by the Giants. Kratos expresses confusion at the tunnel's cramped dimensions, and Atreus has to clarify that many Giants were not literally gigantic. Certainly explains how Kratos never knew that Faye and Atreus are Giants. In the same tunnels, Atreus figures out how a floating lantern works by lighting a fire and letting the warm air levitate the lantern away. Kratos uses a similar trick with a ship's sail to make a makeshift airship in Helheim. When Kratos is trapped in the Light of Alfheim, he sees two places he and Atreus will later go: the boat in Helheim and the mountain in Jotanheim. Sindri's mistletoe arrows, which inadvertently allow Atreus to remove Baldur's invulnerability. More directly, at one point in the game, Atreus' quiver strap breaks and Kratos performs a temporary repair with an arrowhead; Freya destroys the mistletoe arrows but doesn't notice the arrowhead, which is what ends up stabbing Baldur.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Alfheim doesn't receive a physical description in Norse sources, only being said to be the dwelling of the light elves, one of the abodes in the heavens, and the place Freyr rules over, given to him as a tooth-gift; it is also ambiguous if Ã�lfheimr is one of the Nine Realms or a location inside of one of the others, as the place is mentioned alongside locations of Asgard traditionally not considered to be realms of their own, like Breidablik (Baldr's dwelling), ValaskjÃ¡lf (one of Odin's halls) and HiminbjÃ¶rg (Heimdall's home). In the game, Alfheim is a large explorable realm where both the light and dark elves live and have an eternal war for the Light since their leader Freyr retreated; the sequel also shows additional explorable areas and information about its History, with the Light being said to be older than Odin himself. It's revealed here that Kratos was known as FÃ¡rbauti to the giants of JÃ¶tunheim. The actual FÃ¡rbauti of Norse myth is given little to no characterization beyond his role as the father of Loki, and may have in fact been nothing more than a flowery metaphor calling Loki the offspring of lightning (FÃ¡rbauti) hitting trees (Laufey), i.e. a wildfire. The novelization of the game goes into much more detail as to just how Kratos made it to Midgard after the events of Greece, as well as how he survived his attempted suicide in III.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Unarmed combat. Though it has a skill tree, unarmed combat lacks the gear upgrades of the other combat styles. Its big upside is that it deals loads of Stun damage, allowing for grapples that are lethal to lesser enemies and do massive damage to elites (and occasionally give Kratos the opportunity to instakill elites by throwing them over cliffs or into pools of lava). The 3 seconds or so spent in a kill animation render Kratos invulnerable, but continue to tick down debuffs like poison and blind. Atreus' Light Arrows will cover for Kratos, keeping the stun bar full. Finally, the player can get a talisman very early in the game that causes every grapple to restore a small amount of health.

As Word of God puts it, "we are done telling the story of the Hulk. Now we want to tell the story of Bruce Banner." This is best demonstrated with how he tries to warn his son that killing a god has consequences, in contrast with the old Kratos, who didn't give a damn about such matters. Right at the beginning of the game, when he is angered by his son's impatience and inability to listen when Atreus fires his arrow at a deer despite Kratos telling him to hold, Kratos starts his typical shouting when he scolds him, complete with classic God of War chorus building in the background, but once he realizes what's happening, he actually makes an effort to calm himself by breathing in deeply, and finishes his scolding message in a calmer tone, with the chorus disappearing as he does so â€” a far cry from his hair-trigger unstoppable rage past.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Kratos's diminished performance. Wordof God has stated Kratos has not gotten weaker at all, and Cory Balrog even states the current Kratos would win against his young self "without question". HOWEVER, he may have developed in terms of skill and possibly even in strength, but unlike before, where Kratos is The Unfettered who would not hesitate to use all his power to destroy his enemies, he has a son who he doesn't want to know about his past and godhood, and in order to avoid attention from the Norse Gods, he has to actively suppress his power as much as he could. The end result is a purposefully downgraded Kratos who relies much more on experience, finesse, and precision in his combat style rather than brutality and rage. And while it showcases how he's grown as a warrior, no matter how much battle prowess he has, it can't make up for the raw power he could have used to end things much sooner, subsequently causing him to struggle much more against groups of enemies and the Norse Gods. Atreus is able to call forth his bloodlines Spartan Rage but he is already suffering from chronic illness due to thinking he is mortal when he actually has divine blood. So, of course, instead of us getting to see him pull off an impossible physical feat, involuntarily accessing godly power without preparation or awareness of it dials his illness up to 1000% and nearly kills him. When Kratos and Atreus face the Norse Gods, Kratos is the only one out of the two who can effectively handle them. Atreus, after all, regardless of his considerable skill and decent physical prowess, is still a child with only a few years of experience and hasn't emotionally matured yet. He actually ends up being a burden to Kratos rather than a help, with Kratos having to focus on not only fighting Magni and Modi but also reigning in Atreus's anger from their taunts, and the second fight with Baldur has Kratos being stomped due to Atreus screwing up from Baldur's taunts and Atreus's anger. It's only after Atreus has matured and learned the hard way just being a god doesn't mean you can take on other gods that easily that he proves to be of any use in the final fight against Baldur, and even then the difference in Kratos soloing Baldur 3 times to Kratos working with Atreus to beat down Baldur after a hell of a fight is as clear as a day. After a century of sensory deprivation forced on him against his will by her, even once the curse was lifted, Baldur is in no mood to forgive his mother Freya or attempt to reconcile with her, angrily snarling there is literally nothing she can do to make amends to him. In the post-game, the ruined village by Thamur's corpse is no longer accessible; it was completely destroyed in the final battle, thanks to Freya using Thamur's corpse to battle Kratos. Even though the act was done to save her, Freya is still grief stricken and vengeful towards Kratos for killing Baldur. It doesn't matter how long it's been or how strained the relationship was, Baldur was still her son and she was ready to let him kill her so he can move on with his life. As Kratos and Mimir point out to a confused Atreus, there's no greater pain than outliving your own child, and she would have died for him if that choice ever came forward. In the sequel, Freya is the very first enemy Kratos and Atreus fight. The subplot involving a reaver spirit and his son gave a dose of reality about leadership through strength. The son killed his father because he believed it was his turn to lead the crew but the crew preferred his father as their leader and decided to betray the son for killing their captain.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_3f45f1e6	type	Adaptational Heroism
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Fafnir, of the VÃ¶lsunga saga, makes an appearance as a Dwarf-turned-Dragon whom Kratos and Atreus can free during the course of the game. The fact that he's a kin-slaying murderer whose greed caused him to transform into a dragon in the first place isn't brought up. The worst that is mentioned is Sindri describing him as an "aggressive collector" of magic artifacts. That said, Sindri also notes he hasn't seen him in a while and assumes he is dead, so there isn't so much added heroism as there is a lack of knowledge of any perceived evil. The Aesir-Vanir War is alluded to by certain characters who make it seem like a one-sided affair. Yes, the Aesir attempted to kill Gullveig (Freyja), but in their defense, she was actively turning them against each other. Jormungandr, the World-Serpent, who will end up poisoning the sky and water of Midgard at Ragnarok, thus killing all mankind, is a heroic figure in the story and even saves Kratos and Atreus on a few occasions. Then again, given that Atreus is Loki, the prophecy foretells the journey he and Kratos are on is the one that sets in motion the sequence of events that heralds Ragnarok and his own birth. There is a lot of ironic self-serving here. Atreus, who turns out to be Loki, is an interesting example. What Loki was actually like is slippery—every mythological figure has varying depictions, and the attempts of early scholars of Norse mythology to make the stories neater and more Christian only muddled things more. Loki's atrocities and role in Ragnarok are well-known, but he was also depicted as an example of the Trickster God—mischievous, but heroic, and an ally of the Aesir. For the most part, Atreus is a kind, sympathetic boy, but does show a darker side as well. In any case, the event serving as Loki's Moral Event Horizon in the popular understanding—causing the death of Baldur by tricking Hodr into shooting him with mistletoe—is shown very differently here. Atreus takes a punch from a violently psychotic Baldur that was meant for Kratos, causing Baldur to accidentally stab himself with mistletoe tied to Atreus's quiver strap. Atreus may be subject to an in-universe Historical Villain Upgrade to explain the inconsistencies. A number of Giants get a heroism upgrade to justify the Aesir being the bad guys. The etymology of JÃ¶tunn can be interpreted as anything from evil spirit to gluttonous to devourers, and in mythology, they were generally rapacious spirits of entropy and destruction that were harmful toward humans (though there were benign and neutral ones). The Aesir, though warlike and bloodthirsty, were ultimately protectors of humanity. Here, the Giants are a wise race of philosophers and artists who want to usher in a world "where gods grow good". Very few of them are seen in a negative light, and are often the victims of the conversely much crueler Aesir. In the myths, Hrungnir and Odin get into a bet over whose horse is faster, which ends with Hrungnir chasing Odin to Asgard. The gods welcome him hospitably, but he soon becomes drunk and rowdy, making threats that he'll kill the Aesir and take their womanfolk back to Jotunheim. Thor is called to deal with him, resulting in Hrungnir's death, with some interpretations saying that they had an honorable duel. Here, Hrungnir is presented as a charming simpleton who Odin met one day wandering Midgard. Finding him amusing, harmless, and gullible, Odin invited him back to Asgard. He gets him drunk and goads him into all manner of boasts and antics, all for the amusement of the court. Drunk, Hrungnir makes the same threats he did in mythology, until Thor shows up, who takes one look at the drunken buffoon and strikes him dead. Also, the story of Hrimthurs, which in myth isn't the name of a person but of a people, as it literally means 'Frost Giants'. In the myths, the giant who built Asgard's walls with the help of SvaÃ°ilfari did so because he wanted Freyja's hand in return for it. Here, he intentionally built the wall with structural weaknesses so that it can be destroyed at Ragnarok by the giants, thereby avenging his father's death at the hands of Thor, and seemingly tells this tidbit to Freyja before he gets killed by Thor. Surtr, the Fire Giant destined to burn Asgard and engulf the world in flame, is painted in a very heroic light, and is even known as "Surtr the Brave". Although his part in Ragnarok remains unchanged (i.e., he will destroy Asgard, dying to Thor and Odin in the process), the world will be born anew from Asgard's destruction. Until then, he lives a lonely existence in Muspelheim, ever honing his blade, knowing that he is destined to die... all in service to a grand cycle that's bigger than himself. Mimir even describes him as "brave and generous" for embracing his purpose despite the patience and sacrifice it demands.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_43f2f606	comment	Annoying Arrows: In a scene that didn't make it into the final game, Atreus misses and shoots an arrow into Kratos' shoulder, who barely flinches and simply pulls it out and continues fighting the troll. He doesn't even bother to get angry at the child afterwards. Averted as the game continues: while Kratos does most of the heavy lifting, Atreus can kill enemies on his own and can later infuse his arrows with different magical properties. He can even break Kratos out of enemy grabs with them. In fact, his arrows are so potent that during a critical plot point when Atreus' pride about being a god and resentment toward Kratos reaches a head, he purposefully shoots Kratos with a shock arrow, stunning him long enough for Baldur to knock out and kidnap Atreus.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_44989f6f	comment	"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Freya learned that Baldur was destined to die 'a needless death' when he was born, and so cast spells upon him to render him invulnerable to all harm. This unfortunately came with the side-effect of taking away most of his senses as well, rendering him unable to feel even basic pleasures, and steadily driving him mad from sensory deprivation, and increasingly vengeful against his mother. When his invulnerability is removed accidentally via a broken mistletoe arrow when he attacks Kratos and Atreus for the final time, despite having what he's long desired at last, he still proceeds with attacking them to get to Freya and take Revenge on her for his suffering. Even when Kratos finally beats him down and has him at his mercy, he pointedly lets Baldur go with a warning to leave and cease his assault on them, only for Baldur to resume trying to strangle Freya shortly afterwards, forcing a solemn Kratos to give him a Neck Snap to stop him for good, fulfilling his prophecied death.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_4a3e547f	comment	Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the reveal trailer, Kratos tells Atreus that he's ready for a new beginning. It's indeed the beginning of a new cycle. The opening boat conversation between Kratos and Atreus has the latter asking the former if he's felt something is different. Kratos tells him that everything is different, but follows with "do not dwell on it". It's the beginning of the game, and the presentation and gameplay are already very different from previous installments in the series. When Kratos knocks the Stranger down for trying to goad him into a fight, the camera puts itself behind Kratos, who looks back at the camera and growls "You would not listen." It's definitely Kratos disapproving the Stranger's desire for a fight; but with the Spartan being framed in shadow (making him look a bit like his Greek-era self) and looking back at the camera, he might also be him referring to the player wanting to fight a godly boss. After finally defeating the tough Superboss Sigrun, Atreus comments that his fingers are sore and Kratos responds that what he did was no small feat and that he should be proud. The duo's comments could just as easily apply to the player for this accomplishment as it would to the father and son for surviving and triumphing over one of their greatest challenges.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_4e7f703c	comment	Wham Shot: Well, for as much as a game that is The Oner can have one. Wham Pan, perhaps? The original E3 trailer had a memorable one, since the trailer was shown without title or context. We see a Nordic child playing with his toys, his father calls him back... and Kratos walks out of the house, complete with a sting of his Leitmotif. The scene plays out entirely differently in the actual game, and is not an example. The earliest (and most literal) would be The Stranger punching Kratos high into the air and over his own house, revealing that he too is a god and not some mortal drunkard trying to pick a fight for kicks. On the way to recovering the magic chisel, Mimir recites to Atreus the story of Thamur, a giant who struck his son, then chased after him alone across Midgard to apologize, only to encounter Thor. Atreus asks what happens next, and Mimir simply tells him to wait. When you round a corner, you see Thamur's colossal corpse blocking the horizon, his own chisel impaled through his head behind the eyes. While in Tyr's Vault, Kratos turns to spot a Greek vase depicting Kratos' bloody rampage from the previous games. While a painful reminder of Kratos' past, it reveals that Tyr went to Greece after Kratos departed it in God of War III and that the land was in good enough shape for someone to make a vase of him. When Kratos gets in Freya's boat to retrieve the Blades of Chaos, he enters a dark tunnel and the camera gives a pan over his shoulder...revealing the specter of Athena giving him a condescending smirk as the boat continues its way downstream. The missing Jotun Shrine mural in Odin's Helheim research reveals that not only has Tyr gone to Greece, but also Egypt, Japan and Mesoamerica, teasing them as future locales. For those unfamiliar with the God of War series, when Kratos pulls out a red cloth with yellow Greek patterns on it, then unfolds it to reveal the Blades of Chaos. After Baldur punches Atreus in the chest, Kratos says that he's bleeding. After regaining his breath, Atreus responds with "Not my blood!" and the camera pans to Baldur: the mistletoe arrowhead in Atreus' quiver strap was impaled into his bloody hand, and his tattoos glow as the invulnerability spell wears off. At the end of the game, when the leads find a mural in Jotunheim revealing that their journey was predicted all along, Kratos sees a little picture covered by a sheet showing him dead in Atreus' arms as his son births the World Serpent. Shortly after the above, the fate of the giants is confirmed when you get a clear view of the landscape: it's littered with the bodies of giants similar to Thamur's Corpse, confirming that they did not survive their exodus back to Jotunheim and that Atreus and the World Serpent are the only ones left. When Kratos and Atreus return to their cabin at the end of the game and go to sleep, Atreus has a vision of a hooded man coming to the cabin during a thunderstorm. When Kratos demands to know who he is, the man reveals a VERY familiar-looking hammer crackling with lightning.

When he finally does retaliate, it's with a non-fatal punch across the front yard. He even helps the Stranger back to his feet. It's only when the Stranger punches him into the air that Kratos finally cuts loose and starts acting like the Ghost of Sparta we all know and love.

Brok is gruff like one would expect, but his skin is bluish-grey from handling raw silver (a real-life condition called argyria). Sindri, meanwhile, looks typically human in features and skin pigment but is a bit of a germaphobe.

Near the end of the game, Kratos fights the Stranger again, now having been revealed to be the god Baldur. It ends with Kratos breaking his neck, this time for good. Another from the above: the journey to spread Faye's ashes is forced by the arrival of The Stranger arriving at the house ( via his dragon, causing a loud ruckus), prompting Kratos to meet him at the front door and quickly learn that he's a god. At the very end of the game after their journey has concluded, Atreus has a vision of Thor arriving at the house (via thunderstorm, causing a loud rucket), prompting Kratos to meet him at the front door and quickly learn that he's a god. In both examples, they're relatives of Odin: Baldur and Thor. A smaller, but still poignant moment is very early in the game while hunting a deer: Atreus offers his knife to Kratos, who says "finish what you started" and gives some slight help so Atreus can kill the deer. Seeing his son shaken by his first kill, Kratos moves to put his hand on Atreus' shoulder, but backs out. After the two reach their goal, Atreus offers the bag holding of Faye's ashes to Kratos, who says that "we do it together." After they two finish their goal, the camera pans back from the ashes to reveal Kratos finally having his arm around Atreus' shoulders.

To the gods and the humans, the death of the giants was necessary to ensure their survival in the long term and the humans worship the gods as their protectors. The dwarves, however, were friendly to both sides so they find the annihilation of one side to be detestable. They also see the abuse the gods give to their children as disgusting while the humans see it as tough love. Kratos, meanwhile, distrusts all gods and, thus, doesn't think humans should worship them; Kratos see them as practically slaves to the gods, not favored children. A lot of the people Kratos and Atreus run into are negative to the gods. Given that Atreus is actually Loki and his mother was a frost giant, this neatly sets up his long term conflict with the gods that will lead to Ragnarok.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c	type	Bragging Rights Reward
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c	comment	Bragging Rights Reward: The only way to get the final upgrade for the Leviathan Axe is to clear some of the game's most difficult combat challenges, including beating some of the Valkyries. Same goes for the Blades of Chaos with the Heart of Muspelheim. Sigrun, Queen of the Valkyries, drops some pretty good loot as well, including her helmet that can be sold for tons of money and an axe pommel that massively increases the distance you can throw the axe. By the time you beat her, you've probably got nothing left to do. You're certainly good enough to clear the final boss without needing anything she could provide. The reward for beating the game's Give Me God of War mode are two shield skins that give no stat bonuses or abilities, and you barely get to see them in-game anyway. Beating Give Me God of War mode in New Game Plus not only unlocks the skins, but two optional armors for Atreus. The armors are a particular example of this trope, as the player will have likely already bought Atreus' ultimate armor, rendering the unlocks pointless.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_564caaae	type	Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_564caaae	comment	Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: Kratos and Atreus's relationship remains teetering on the edge throughout the game but there are two instances in the game where their relationship hits their all-time low. In the first instance, Kratos goes into a beam of light and has visions of the past; Atreus pulls him back out, revealing that he spent hours fighting Dark Elves alone while Kratos was gone for only a couple of minutes from his perspective. Atreus spends the next section of the plot furious at Kratos for abandoning him, acting outright insubordinate at times, until Kratos explains what happened and (in his own way) apologizes. Another far bigger one is during the third journey to the mountains where Atreus becomes Drunk with Power and lets his status as a god go to his head due to misinterpreting Kratos's revelation about him. Not helping is the fact that even when Atreus keeps egging for the whole truth, meanwhile belittling everyone he comes across, Kratos still refuses to tell him, which ends up making Atreus more resentful and uncontrollable culminating when he shoots his own father with shock arrows so he can fight Baldur himself. This episode lands the pair in Helheim, where Kratos reprimands Atreus and the latter eventually becomes remorseful of what he had become.

In reality, he thought Kratos was one of the giants, who considered themselves better than Odin and the Aesir, both for their power of prophecy and desire to not take part in his petty wars. Later, the Witch of the Woods says that the Norse Gods "don't take kindly to outsiders".

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: As mentioned in Healing Factor, Kratos has the ability to heal his wounds just by focusing for a couple of seconds. This ability isn't available for the player. The New Game Plus gives you all the equipment and items from your previous playthrough. However, since the game scripts you into returning to your house once Atreus falls ill, Kratos must return home to retrieve his Blades of Chaos, despite already having them in the new playthrough. The game assumes that the player will visit many locations as soon as they become available, even if the player wishes to wait until later to do so. When visiting Veithurgard before Konunsgard, Kratos and Atreus will discuss what happened to the people, which is answered in the latter, even if you've already visited that place. During your first visit to Konunsgard Atreus will comment on how much bigger Konunsgard is than Veithurgard, even if you've never visited it before. The game also assumes that you will have visited Niflheim and Muspelheim, as even if you never have, Atreus will comment on them during the fight at the Jotunheim tower near the end of the game. Likewise, even if you've visited the Valkyrie's Council before, Atreus will still ask what it is after you defeat your second Valkyrie. Another New Game Plus exclusive one. At one point in the game, Brok and Sindri need you to get them some Skap Slag in order to forge a key. However, Skap Slag is an extremely rare and valuable material that Brok hasn't seen in an incredibly long time. And while this certainly holds true in a normal playthrough, in New Game Plus, Kratos will be finding heaps of Skap Slag everywhere in order to fuel the upgrade economy (of which Skap Slag is an incredibly important part).

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: Baldur is this towards Freya. While Freya only meant well with her protective spell, Baldur is correct about how much harm she actually caused him. During the period of the game immediately after Atreus has learned of his godly heritage and has become a jerk, he gets fed up with Sindri's complaining about his brother Brok and calls the dwarf out on it, telling the dwarf to either make up with his brother or not, but either way stop whining about it, calling it "the little problems of little people". Sindri is very clearly hurt by these words and becomes cold towards Atreus afterwards. However, the next time he's seen in story progression, he's arriving to make up with his brother, implying that he gave Atreus's words serious consideration. Even Brok agrees, saying it's what Sindri needed to hear.

The only way to figure this out would be translating the runes on a map that comes with the Collector's Edition of the game.note You can still claim the axe handle in any version of the game, you just have no way of knowing about it.

However, once it's revealed who The Stranger is and what he wants, his lines take on an entirely different meaning Baldur had no idea who he was talking to and thought that Kratos was a JÃ¶tnar, and was referring to JÃ¶tenheim, the homeland of the JÃ¶tnar, and the fact that the JÃ¶tnar were renowned for their wisdom. It also makes other remarks of his make more sense "I thought you'd be bigger" was referring to his misconception that Kratos was a JÃ¶tnar and him saying that Kratos "already knows." what he wants is a reference to the psychic powers that the JÃ¶tnar had.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Needless to say, Atreus's development until the end of the game comes from tons of suffering. First, at the beginning of the journey, his mother dies, leaving him to travel with his estranged father. Just as things seem to be getting better between them, he comes into Magni and Modi, whose insults towards his mother leads to his illness nearly killing him. And then, after healing, he learns he is a God and becomes arrogant and callous... Only to swiftly be forced to realize just how far he still has to go before he can even be considered an equal partner to his exceedingly strong and experienced father after his recklessness ends in the gate to Jotunheim being destroyed and afterwards he and Kratos get stuck in Hel, all because he arrogantly tried to take on Baldur, one of the most powerful Aesirs who could match Kratos and make him really earn his win, and got stomped. Finally, he realizes just how much of a dick he was after Kratos makes it clear he's dishonoring his mother by acting like this, him and Mimir giving Atreus a stern and cold response that he has to listen when Atreus starts apologizing while still trying to make them see he can stand alongside them, seeing him killing Modi, and finally, Kratos in his monstrous days beating up his own grandfather. At the very least, all this both snaps him out of his arrogant god phase with the realization he was becoming an entirely unrecognizable person and makes him a much more humbler.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_7241785e	comment	You Can't Fight Fate: One of the major themes of the story. There is a lot of prophecy in the Nine Realms, and despite people's best attempts to avert fate, it always comes to pass. This being Norse Mythology, the prophecy most people are concerned about is Ragnarok. Odin seeks to find a way to avert it, gathering numerous prophecies and fates so he can eliminate eventual threats to his rule before they arise. According to Mimir, Thor and JÃ¶rmungandr's battle during Ragnarok will be so intense that it breaks the World Tree, disrupting the weft of time and sending JÃ¶rmungandr back in time to before his own birth, allowing him to grow to his legendary size. One prophecy is particularly important to the plot: When Baldur was born to Freya, she foresaw him dying needlessly, so she made him invulnerable to all things (with the exception of mistletoe). The blessing, or rather curse, left Baldur unable to feel or taste anything, so he grew to resent his mother. Even when the spell is finally broken at the climax of the game, he is too bitter to move on and tries to kill Freya, and Kratos kills him to protect her. When Kratos and Atreus reach JÃ¶tunheim, they discover that their entire journey had been ordained and foreseen by the Giants, down to the last detail â€” and when Atreus scampers off, Kratos finds a mural depicting him possibly dying in Atreus' arms... an event that has yet to come. When Kratos and Atreus return from JÃ¶tunheim, Mimir informs them that Fimbulwinter, a snow that will last for three years, has begun; at the end of it, Ragnarok will begin. However, it wasn't supposed to come about for another century or so. Only time will tell if the actual events will be different.

It is clearly hard for him, and on his way he is tortured by visions of Athena, who mocks his attempts to become a better person.

The only exception is Mimir, who becomes a steadfast ally to Kratos after being tormented by Odin for so long.

If they land an extremely rare grapple attack on him which holds him still for a minute without the player hitting the enemy once, Atreus will be stunned for longer. This practically never happens, so most players will play the entire game without Atreus ever being at risk of being disabled, averting many criticisms of Escort Missions in much the same way The Last of Us did.

This is as much instructions to the boy as it is a reminder to himself that he mustn't be the man whose fury made him a Villain Protagonist. Becomes even more poignant when he says it to Baldur - another god whose justified anger at a parental figure has spiraled into an uncontrollable blind rage - as he snaps his neck before he can do anymore harm. Several lore markers speak of a prophesied time "until gods grow good". The earliest instance seems to use the phrase sarcastically, in a similar fashion to "when pigs fly". However, its appearance in Jotunheim hints at something more meaningful.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_74abf030	comment	Summon to Hand: Kratos can call his axe back his hand after throwing it at enemies and objects. Beyond just hitting enemies from afar with the axe, this has a couple of uses: There are plenty of puzzles that require Kratos to throw his axe into some machinery (whether it be a mechanism to open a door, push up a roof of spikes, or push a sawblade trap up and down), clog it up, and then summon it back to him when he needs that machinery to start operating again. Kratos comes upon a sign that says "throw your weapon away" and he eagerly picks up the axe and throws it into a lake. He holds his hand out to summon the axe, but in a Subverted Trope, the axe fails to return. He doesn't have it until the World Serpent pops out of the lake and spits it back to Kratos. As you upgrade the Leviathan Axe, you unlock the ability to throw it and summon it back in close quarter combat. The light version of this attack has Kratos throw the axe in a circle around him, while the heavy version just has him throw it forwards and call it back immediately. One of the few times we see Kratos use this ability comes in the final boss fight. The second phase of that fight ends with Kratos throwing the axe into the boss hard enough to send it flying back into a wall and calling the axe back in a spurt of blood that only worsens the pain.

But when Kratos and Atreus find the murals in Jotunheim showing that the giants predicted the entire story, Kratos realizes Baldur had no clue who he is; he assumed Kratos was a giant because he was sent to find Faye and didn't know she was already dead.

They cause nightmares and are inspired by Mares, demons in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore who sat on their victim's chest and caused sleep paralysis. While their appearance differs greatly from their more imp-like mythological counterparts, Atreus' bestiary in his diary suggests they were named after them, who better fit this trope:

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: Atreus's early screw-up where he scares the deer they're hunting away. True to form, Kratos grabs the bow away from his son, screaming in his face...before composing himself and firmly reprimanding Atreus, telling him "Do not be sorry. Be better." Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new and (trying to be) improved Kratos. It's cemented later when the Stranger shows up at Kratos' house. The Stranger is seemingly just a harmless, belligerent drunk who challenges Kratos to a fight and constantly insults him. He even throws a few hard but ultimately impotent punches at Kratos, but instead of just ending him then and there, he tanks several of the punches while telling him to back off. When he finally does retaliate, it's with a non-fatal punch across the front yard. He even helps the Stranger back to his feet. It's only when the Stranger punches him into the air that Kratos finally cuts loose and starts acting like the Ghost of Sparta we all know and love.

If it weren't for him, Atreus would have never received his mistletoe arrows, one of which he used to hold together his quiver strap, which Baldur punches at the climax of the journey, breaking the spell over him and finally making him vulnerable. Magni has the least characterisation of the cast and the aftermath of his death sets up the remaining drama in the game. Modi becomes vengeful, Magni's death reveals the prophecy has changed and Thor now has a personal vendetta against Kratos for killing his favourite son and successor.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_955aba87	comment	Mook Chivalry: Defied. Enemies will rarely wait to attack you one at a time, preferring to instead smother you with constant aggression to keep you on your toes. Crowd control and spacing plays a big part in the combat of the game as a result, with most runic attacks having some form of AOE to help get enemies off of you. You even have an indicator that lights up when if enemy behind you is about to strike. You're taught this very early, just to reinforce how relentless the enemies you face will be. This gets turned up to eleven in the higher difficulty modes.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_9600368d	comment	Behind the Black: Used In-Universe to explain to an increasingly incredulous Kratos how Sindri (and, by extension, Brok) keep getting to places before himself and Atreus. According to Sindri, dwarves have the ability to step into the "place between the realms" that beings within the Nine Realms cannot perceive, effectively rendering them invisible. Sindri demonstrates it by vanishing from view as the camera goes behind Atreus's back, being visible on one side of him and then invisible on the other before his hand extends from offscreen to offer Atreus an apple. By Sindri's admission the ability doesn't work on dragons.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_97926168	type	Rewatch Bonus
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_97926168	comment	Rewatch Bonus: The first conversation between Kratos and the Stranger takes on a different light when you watch it knowing some of the information revealed later in the game. Namely, Baldur was likely looking for Faye/Laufey, a giant who would have known what he wanted, not Kratos, who had no idea. Also, the Stranger doesn't actually know who Kratos is and believes he's a giant from Jotunheim, rather than him insulting Kratos as a foreign god from Greece. On a similar note, when the Stranger comes and Atreus is told to hide under the floorboards of the house, he mentions that Kratos told him to never go there. That's where the Blades of Chaos are stashed, wrapped up in red cloth, and Kratos didn't want Atreus to find them. There's also a brief blink-and-you'll-miss-it camera movement towards the spot where Kratos hid the Blades when they begin their journey. It's not initially clear on first watch what the rumbling noise is just before The Stranger bashes on the front door of Kratos' house (particularly since the viewer never sees it and it's never addressed at all). After playing through the game, it's much more obvious that it's Baldur's dragon, which he uses to escape with Atreus after ambushing them at the top of The Mountain. Despite speaking in the language of the Giants, it's possible to glean what the World Serpent says to Kratos since the words he uses are loosely similar to English. Magni's death and Modi's horrified reaction seem like an average sight for long-time players, until the end of the game. The ending reveals that the Giants have made another tapestry based on their prophetic visions of Ragnarok. Modi wasn't just traumatised by the death of Magni, what Kratos did was unthinkable. He killed a demigod who was prophesied to survive the apocalypse. Magni's death should have been impossible, Modi has lost all of his confidence due to a prophecy failure and Odin wants Kratos because of his ability to kill a god and defy fate.

For example, when Baldur loses his invulnerability, he only receives a few axe wounds and a snapped neck before death, which is quite tame in comparison to what Kratos has done to humans and humanoids before. There's also Mimir â€” when Kratos decapitates him so he can tag along and impart wisdom, there's a noticeable discretion shot in order not to show Kratos doing the deed, which is far tamer than Kratos ripping off Helios's head to use as a tool, which was shown in ''explicit'' detail.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e	comment	Interface Spoiler: An arguable bug, since the rest of the dialogue around this section deliberately avoids this: when entering the Witch of the Woods' Cave, she occasionally says goodbye. Her subtitled name for this one line, instead of titling her as the Witch, instead says Freya. A straighter example would be your climb through the mountain after Alfheim. Kratos and Atreus treat it like the end of their trip, as once they reach the top, they'll be able to scatter Faye's ashes and go home. However, the player comes across multiple things they cannot access such as a sealed door and thorns that cannot be dealt with, both of which make it clear this isn't going to be the ending. And it isn't, at the top, they learn that the true "highest point in the realms" is in Jotunheim, which is currently inaccessible, leading to another leg of the journey to find a way to access it. Players may notice that D-Pad right and down sheath/draw the Leviathan Axe and quick turn, respectively, but left and up don't do anything. Despite this, other functions like Spartan Rage and Runic Attacks require button combinations because everything but those two D-Pad directions are taken. It becomes especially suspicious once Atreus gets Shock Arrows, and Up is used to switch between Light and Shock Arrows. It's eventually revealed that Left has been left open for drawing and sheathing the Blades of Chaos from the original games.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: There are several hints as to the Stranger's true identity early on: his rugged good looks, fair skin, a way with words through his Hannibal Lectures, and an inability to feel pain are all attributes closely associated his true identity: Baldur. Multiple hints point towards Atreus's identity as Loki, giant, shapeshifter, god of stories, kin of the world serpent, father of wolves, and bringer of Ragnarok. When Atreus reads the language on the entrance to a Giant colony, Atreus mentions his mother taught him the language. The World Serpent mentions that Atreus seems familiar. Atreus is associated multiple times with wolves, with his first armor being a wolfskin, his first summon being a wolf, and asking if he can turn into animals, like a wolf, upon learning that he is a god. Atreus also tells multiple stories throughout the game, and admonishes Kratos multiple times for being so terrible at telling them. There is also the fact that he was the one to remove Baldur's curse, albeit not intentionally like in the myths. The Witch of the Woods's horrified reaction to Atreus' new arrows. What are they made of? Mistletoe. On a related note, at the start of the game, Atreus can be seen collecting flowers for his mother's funeral pyre. The first time we see him, he has a sprig of mistletoe in his hands. In the scene where the Witch of the Woods is introduced, she's angry with Atreus for shooting a boar who is actually her shapeshifting friend in disguise, and she says she "will not let him die". Freya won't let Baldur die either, whether he wants to or not, and when Atreus ends up being involved in his death too at the end of the game, she's even more furious. One of Kratos's stories was about a man who went to prison as a ruthless thief and only his mother, who showed him only love, would come to see him. What happens when he gets out? He goes up to her and bites off her ear. The moral is that loving someone is fine, but you must discipline them as well. Come the reveal about Baldur and his mother, it's clear why he's as psychotic as he is. The main quest icon for The Journey is a handprint- the same one found on Faye's trees that she requested be cut down in the opening sequence. While this makes sense as a quest icon, the true meaning of it comes into play once the true objective is revealed- the Giant's Fingers in Jotunheim, which looks awfully similar to the handprint. A minor case, compared to the above spoilers, but the fact that the Leviathan Axe was forged by Brok and Sindri. Summon to Hand was something of a Signature Spell for weapons forged by those two, including both Mjolnir and Odin's spear, Gungnir. Each weapon they forged also had properties unique to only that weapon, including the Leviathan Axe's ice powers. What's the first statue Kratos and Atreus see upon entering the Lake of Nine? Thor. Who's the last god they see in the spoiler, foreshadowing the sequel? Yep... When the Stranger comes pounding on the door, Kratos orders Atreus to hide under the floor, but Atreus protests that Kratos told him never to go down there. After he lets Atreus out, when he closes the floor again, the camera very briefly lingers on something wrapped in cloth slightly sticking out. Much later in the game, we see that that "something wrapped in cloth" was Kratos's Blades of Chaos that he had hidden there for years, clearly ashamed of them yet unwilling or unable to completely discard them.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Kratos' Spartan ways clash heavily with his kindhearted son, who is a Friend to All Living Things. This leads to them butting heads more than once. While exploring Helheim, Mimir explains to Kratos that everyone who dies a dishonorable death goes to Helheim instead of Valhalla. When Kratos assumes this means criminals, Mimir clarifies that it includes everyone who doesn't die in glorious battle, including those who die of old age or sickness. Kratos is briefly taken aback when he hears that dying of old age is considered dishonorable by Norse standards. Mind that's what it was like even in the legends, where the storyteller wasn't going out of his way to portray them as extreme Jerkass Gods like the God of War series does. This is doubly notable because Kratos is operating off Spartan values, in which the elderly are honored for the skill they needed to survive so long: "Beware of an Old Man in a profession where Men die Young."

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_aba8065b	type	Fatal Flaw
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_aba8065b	comment	Kratos's Fatal Flaw is no longer an inability to accept responsibility for his mistakes like in the original trilogy. Now, it's his inability to open up and explain things that causes problems for him and his son. Due to his hands-off distant parenting, Atreus has grown up thinking his father resents him for being weak. This has resulted in Atreus being both somewhat bitter towards Kratos while also being overly eager to prove that he's strong, hoping this will earn him his father's love. The reality is that Kratos is too afraid to get close to Atreus due to his past and wants to hide his nature as a god from him. This isn't just damaging their familial bond — it's actually killing Atreus. Because he is unaware of his godhood and thinks of himself as a mortal, the inherent contradiction in his nature is warring within him, manifesting as a life-threatening illness. This comes to a head after Kratos sadly claims that Atreus is cursed due to the divine blood he inherited from Kratos. Atreus ends up overhearing only part of what Kratos said, leading him to believe that Kratos thinks Atreus is a cursed weakling. This convinces Kratos to finally start opening up to his son. The first thing he does is reveal that he is a god, and even after this he keeps key tidbits away from Atreus that cause the boy to go Drunk with Power. Case in point, Kratos mentions that there are consequences to killing gods after Atreus kills Modi, and refuses to elaborate: predictably, Atreus blows him off and continues on his path down the slippery slope.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_b11ac9f5	type	Abusive Parents
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: This is one of many themes that pops up regularly in the game, with even Kratos himself showing signs: Kratos is a downplayed example at the beginning of the game—the below examples are much worse, but his insecurity has had very negative consequences. Kratos's deliberate efforts to hide his past as the Ghost of Sparta from Atreus have resulted in Kratos coming off as distant, abrasive, and impossible to please, which has obviously damaged the boy. As the game wears on, Kratos undergoes Character Development and learns to bond with Atreus. There's a fierce thunderstorm at one point in the game that turns out to be the result of Thor beating his son, Modi, for his failures in tracking Kratos down. Baldur's mother, Freya, is an unconventional example. She took his ability to feel anything in order to give him near-Complete Immortality without even asking him, and refused for a century to give it back to him no matter how much he begged, even though she could have at any time. Unlike Kratos, who realized he was wrong and changed, this was her smothering her son and wishing to protect him in a completely selfish manner, and even him attacking would not make her budge though after Atreus accidentally breaks the curse near the end, Freya does appear to realize the error of her ways and looks genuinely remorseful for what she put her son through. Odin has traces of this. Odin tricked Hrungnir, here a mentally handicapped giant, into making a drunken fool of himself for the court of Asgard, but neglected to tell Thor. When Thor arrived, he slew the giant, only to be pinned under the corpse. The court just kept laughing. It's even in the subquests. A spirit in Fafnir's storeroom was betrayed and murdered by his son. Tracking the son reveals that he hated his father for leaving him with his grandfather while he ran the family pirate crew, and strove to show his father up, hence the betrayal. The father is resentful, but still loves his son enough to not rat him out. When he learns his son regretted his actions and died fighting against the pirate crew when they rebelled to avenge his murder, the father moves on to the afterlife, at ease that his son is in Valhalla.

The All-Father is shown as a controlling Evil Overlord that spies on every living being in the Nine Worlds, is willing to kill anyone he perceives as a threat to him (even if they aren't at the moment), including other gods such as Tyr, tortures others as a hobby, and has a knack for finding new ways to inflict pain on his victims (one of them being Mimir, who was a close friend of his in mythology whom he brought back to life after being beheaded by the Vanir). It's said that everything he does is to prevent Ragnarok, but his actions paint him in a self-serving light, out to preserve his own power.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_b983a56b	comment	Came Back Wrong: Mimir implies that at best he's reanimated, and is still very much dead. The fact that this unpleasant state of being undead is preferable to the torture he endured under Odin speaks volumes. If Kratos tries to visit Freya's house in the post-game, Atreus wonders if Freya will revive Baldur with the same magic she used on Mimir, who muses that being undead is so unpleasant that she would never subject her son to that fate.

Along the same lines, whenever Kratos thrashes a tatzelwurm to death, he uses an identical move to Hulk thrashing Loki in The Avengers. (Allowing for size, of course.) And after a particular boss fight, Atreus remarks, "Puny troll." Mimir is a one-eyed man tangled up in a tree, much like the true form of the "three-eyed crow" in A Song of Ice and Fire. The Loot Lizard, a Unique Enemy found inside the mountain, is a reference to the Crystal Lizards from Dark Souls. According to Cory Barlog, the opening scene of Kratos chopping down a tree and lugging it on his shoulders is a reference to the opening of Commando.

One of the Fables that Kratos tells Atreus while rowing is of a wild horse who "sought vengeance" on a stag that it had declared its enemy; making a deal with a hunter to be saddled and reined, the two rode together and brought the stag down, but the hunter refused to honor the deal and "made a slave" of the horse, who soon came to regret its brief, hollow victory. Although the intended morals are "revenge is pointless" and "deceitful men, especially ones that offer power, cannot be trusted", it's clear the allegory is about Kratos, whose hatred for the Barbarian King led him to beseech Ares and make a deal that cost him his freedom, family, and soul.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_cc7fae30	comment	Outside-Context Problem: Kratos is a heroic version, due to being a God from a different realm, and subject to different rules. Merely his presence throws the Norse world into turmoil, since Midgard is heavily bound by prophecy, and this prophecy does not include Kratos. As such, he is able to kill people who were scripted to survive Ragnarok. This is what causes Modi to freak out when Kratos kills Magni; it's not just that Kratos killed a God, not just that he killed his brother, it's that by all the rules of the Nine Realms, this should not be possible. At the end of the game, it is implied that Kratos' actions have triggered the beginning of Ragnarok, a full century before it was supposed to happen. Kratos' Frost Axe is useless in Helheim, the frozen realm of the dead, whose inhabitants are immune to ice damage and where no fire from all the Nine Realms can burn. His Blades of Chaos, however, are exempt from this rule.

Wordof God has stated Kratos has not gotten weaker at all, and Cory Balrog even states the current Kratos would win against his young self "without question". HOWEVER, he may have developed in terms of skill and possibly even in strength, but unlike before, where Kratos is The Unfettered who would not hesitate to use all his power to destroy his enemies, he has a son who he doesn't want to know about his past and godhood, and in order to avoid attention from the Norse Gods, he has to actively suppress his power as much as he could. The end result is a purposefully downgraded Kratos who relies much more on experience, finesse, and precision in his combat style rather than brutality and rage. And while it showcases how he's grown as a warrior, no matter how much battle prowess he has, it can't make up for the raw power he could have used to end things much sooner, subsequently causing him to struggle much more against groups of enemies and the Norse Gods.

This game, on the other hand, revolves around Kratos and his son going on a journey to spread the ashes of Kratos' wife/Atreus' mother per her last request. Kratos is avoiding the Norse Gods instead of picking a fight, he instructs Atreus to not kill as an indulgence, and there are even side-quests to help out spirits trapped in Midgard. The gore this time around is primarily limited to the various monsters encountered, with any humans or gods killed onscreen showing little if any bloodshed. In every game up to this point, Kratos obtained some poor creature's severed head as a piece of equipment. Rather than swinging around Medusa or Helios this time around, he gets Mimir, who's friendly, wise, and humorous despite being, you know, a severed head.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	type	Developer's Foresight
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: Atreus has a large number of unique lines depending on what a player does, even some off-the-wall behavior. For instance, if the player has Kratos attack while there are no enemies present (for example, if you're trying out new moves), Atreus may ask "Are you... exercising?" Early on in the story, Kratos has to throw his axe into the Lake of Nine in a cut-scene right after a boat ride from the Witch's cave. Normally, when entering a boat, Kratos never recalls the axe, but when he enters the boat this time, he will recall the axe if he does not have it. Normally, Mimir is present whenever Kratos and Atreus fight the Valkyries. However, since you can enter Muspelheim before reviving Mimir (Albiet vastly under equipped), it's possible to fight the Valkyrie Gondul before reviving Mimir, and if so, there's different dialogue between the two. Kratos also gives his own responses to Atreus' complaints as they move up the mountain. Speaking of the valkyries, if you defeat all of them before you finish lighting all the braziers — which gives you an item that reduces damage taken from valkyries — Atreus will remark that Kratos really could have used that earlier. During your second trip to Helheim you will see Baldur standing near a low wall. Try throwing your axe or a boulder at him and the cursor will disappear, preventing you from damaging him. It's pretty much impossible to ambush him just in case you were trying to see how clever you are. In the post-game, if the players visit Freya's cabin, they'll have a dialog about what she'll be up to now. Oddly enough, if the players return to Freya's cabin after Tyr's vault, there's no explanation why Freya won't reapply her protection rune.

Kratos grimly realizes that he must unearth his past and returns home, retrieving the Blades of Chaos hidden beneath the floorboards. The Blades, having been forged in the depths of Hades and infused with magic outside the Nine Realms, nicely fit his needs. To twist the knife of cruelty, the only weapons that he can wield to venture into Helheim and save his dying son—the only family he has left—are the same blades that he murdered his daughter and first wife with, centuries ago in Greece.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Should players find difficulty figuring out how to beat a boss, the game will provide hints. If you accidentally forget to pick up a unique item after a battle is over (like a Resource vital to upgrading the Leviathan Axe or Blades of Chaos), Brok and/or Sindri's shop has a "Lost Items" section where any uncollected items and/or resources from another area can be claimed at no cost. While the Valkyrie Superbosses don't have this luxury, the majority of the main-story-related Bosses have mid-fight checkpoints. The Troll acting as Bridge Keeper in Helheim (MÃ¡ttugr Helson) that Kratos has to fight to get its heart to heal a sick Atreus is a particularly glaring example â€” the final checkpoint is as late as the last couple of bars of his Health. If Kratos knocks an enemy off a cliff, they instantly die. And their loot drop will magically appear on the cliff-side, so the player doesn't have to hold back for fear of losing their reward. If the button-mashing prompts or the precision-based method of opening the Hidden Chambers becomes too tedious for you, they can both be switched to simplified versions in the gameplay options. If the Valkyrie fight in the Hidden Chamber within the Mountain is started when first available, which is during the time that Atreus is immersed in arrogance over his newly-discovered godhood and has the random chance to ignore orders during combat including not using a Ressurection Stone when Kratos is downed, for the duration of this event in the above circumstances, he will act as he normally does. After reaching the post-game, the location of every Valkyrie that hasn't been defeated is revealed so you don't have to guess where the undiscovered Hidden Chambers are. If the Valkyrie Superboss in Ivaldi's Maze in Niflheim is defeated before the resistance meter for the Deadly Mists runs out, it will be automatically refilled after the fight. If he didn't have it already, Kratos will automatically recall the Leviathan Axe before using a Mystic Gateway to fast travel. Atreus will frequently call out the presence of interesting features in an area as well as look in their general direction, especially bonus objectives like Odin's ravens. Zig-zagged in terms of being anti-frustration, though, as it can in fact be very frustrating when he only looks generally in the direction of whatever he's talking about, and doesn't call out exactly what you should be trying to spot, whether a seal attached to a Nornir Chest or a hard-to-spot Raven. At least on lower difficulties, if you die and restart from a checkpoint, you will revive with full health, even if you were next to dead when you started the encounter. Outside of a few places where the getting to the boat is plot-relevant or moving the boat around is part of a puzzle, if you leave the boat on one beach/dock and end up working your way to another one, there will be a second boat there.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_dd3969b	comment	Atreus, who turns out to be Loki, is an interesting example. What Loki was actually like is slippery—every mythological figure has varying depictions, and the attempts of early scholars of Norse mythology to make the stories neater and more Christian only muddled things more. Loki's atrocities and role in Ragnarok are well-known, but he was also depicted as an example of the Trickster God—mischievous, but heroic, and an ally of the Aesir. For the most part, Atreus is a kind, sympathetic boy, but does show a darker side as well. In any case, the event serving as Loki's Moral Event Horizon in the popular understanding—causing the death of Baldur by tricking Hodr into shooting him with mistletoe—is shown very differently here.

They are almost as big as, if not bigger than, the Titans from the original series! As in the original myths, they do have magical powers and can shapeshift to appear as normal humans...just like Atreus' mother does. The World Serpent is also a Giant as well, though one in the form of a snake instead of humanoid.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_e003c829	comment	History Repeats: The "children-killing-their-parents" cycle from the previous games (Kronos killing Ouraunos, Zeus defeating Kronos, Kratos killing Zeus) is alluded to late in the game when it's revealed that Baldur wants to kill his mother Freya for granting him invulnerability, which had the unintentional side-effect of removing all his senses other than sight and hearing. Kratos tries to stop him from killing her, partly because Freya was a genuinely nice and loving parent trying to protect her child (if in a very misguided manner) who doesn't deserve death, and because he sees a lot of his younger self in Baldur. At first, he tries reasoning with him, saying that Vengeance Feels Empty since killing Zeus did not give him peace and it came at the cost of destroying his land, but Baldur doesn't listen, leading to a fight ensuing between them that ends with Kratos being forced to put him down to stop him for once and for all, saying that "the cycle ends here" and they must be better than this. When Atreus finally learns about his father's past, he thinks that he is fated to walk the same path as well, but Kratos assures him that they will avoid that. However, the Jotun mural at the end shows Kratos dying in Atreus' arms, implying the cycle will continue.

Kratos is voiced by Christopher Judge in these visions, briefly channeling the rage-monster Kratos was when he was played by Terrence C. Carson. Played with regarding Zeus; he's voiced by Corey Burton just as he was in the original version of the scene, but they don't simply use recordings of Burton's old dialogue — Zeus's delivery is completely different. Where he was furious and irrational in the original scene, he sounds much more reasonable in these visions, suggesting Kratos's memory is playing tricks on him to make him feel more guilty than he actually was.

While Kratos warns Atreus killing a god bears horrible consequences, both Magni and Modi don't explode nor turn into flies after death, but instead dies like a human would, but their deaths would trigger Ragnarok with Baldr's death. Mimir does mention that every god is unique, so maybe that also applies to pantheons.

While he learns to kill and defend himself under Kratos' tutelage, he is more sentimental than his father, which is noted upon by several characters. He is more inclined to help those in need, pleading with Kratos to spare the time to help, and empathizes with the feelings of animals. This is temporarily abandoned after he learns of his divinity, which goes straight to his head as he becomes more rash and insensitive. It takes him a while, with Kratos and Mimir reprimanding him the whole way and a sobering encounter with Baldur, for him to calm down.

However, whenever a new location is entered, runes will appear and fade into Latin letters showing the place name, and these are nonsense. They're individual runes fading into individual letters as opposed to whole words fading into whole words, so there's no way the "translation" would make sense.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Freya is conflated with Frigga, Odin's wife and mother of Baldur. This is appropriate since many scholars believe the two to be a Decomposite Character. Mimir mentions in an incidental conversation that Frigg was a pet name Odin gave Freya when they were wed, and eventually used it as a sort of fictional identity to give credit to Freya's more notable achievements, implying that the confusion exists In-Universe. Kratos has taken traits from characters from Nordic legend as well, specifically FÃ¡rbauti (due to being the father of Loki) and Hodr (being Baldur's slayer). Chief Developer Cory Barlog has also gone on record to state that the primary inspiration for Kratos' persona in God Of War (2018) is William Munny, played by Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. Stated by Eastwood to be an Older and Wiser "Man With No Name" from the Dollars Trilogy of Spaghetti Western directed Sergio Leone, Munny (like Kratos) is also an elderly Retired Monster spurred into action by the death of his wife, returning to a life of murder that he tried to leave behind for One Last Job, to build a better life for his child. The Sons of Ivaldi, the unnamed dwarven brothers who made Sif's golden hair, Freyr's boat SkiÃ°blaÃ°nir and Odin's spear Gungnir in the Prose Edda, are said in lore markers to be MÃ³tsognir and Andvari, two dwarves who were part of other different myths.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b	comment	Gameplay and Story Integration: During the periods in the game where Atreus is unhappy with Kratos, the game stops using the battle quotes where he shows concern for Kratos. Taken a step further when Atreus gets arrogant after learning he's a god, during which he completely stops responding to the player's orders in battle (usually because he's too busy charging the enemies head-on), on rare occasions will even refuse to use a resurrection stone (which bypasses the button prompt and goes straight back to the last checkpoint), and will respond to out-of-battle ordersnote translating, shooting arrows at interactables, etc. with a dismissive "Whatever." After Atreus belittles Sindri, Sindri acts coldly toward the duo, especially Atreus himself, until he reunites with Brok and forgives Atreus. Also happens to a lesser extent during "The Sickness". When Atreus falls ill, the journal entries that describe the current objective, normally written by Atreus, are quite clearly written by Kratos. After Kratos retrieves the Blades of Chaos, the large group of Hel-Walkers that attacks him have lower health than normal, with the massacre that follows showing both Kratos's determination to save his son's life, and how easily the Blades will cut through the frost and chill of Hel like a hot knife through butter.

Cutscenes start seamlessly after normal play, and flow back into gameplay after finishing smoothly. This naturally results in a lot of creative camerawork and character staging: Kratos or Atreus are often facing away from the other not just to signify their emotional distance, but also because it's one of the few ways to show both of their faces on-screen at the same time. The only cuts in the game happen at the very end: the beginning and end of Atreus' vision of Thor's attack, followed by the end credits.

Atreus becomes much more abrasive once he finds out he's a god, going full-on Smug Super.

When they ask Sindri about it, he starts gagging and ends up running off to the side to vomit. After he returns, Brok continues discussing the subject, which sets Sindri off again.

In practice, this makes Niflheim a semi-randomly generated dungeon with different enemies, puzzles, and treasures every time the player come through, making it great for Level Grinding.

Ultimately, their final showdown has nothing to do with the heroes' quest or even the Stranger's mission, but to defend Freya, a friend and ally to the leads, from him.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	comment	Freya is conflated with Frigga, Odin's wife and mother of Baldur. This is appropriate since many scholars believe the two to be a Decomposite Character. Mimir mentions in an incidental conversation that Frigg was a pet name Odin gave Freya when they were wed, and eventually used it as a sort of fictional identity to give credit to Freya's more notable achievements, implying that the confusion exists In-Universe.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_f33ff01c	comment	Adaptational Context Change: Several aspects of the myths are transcribed to the game in a different way: In Norse mythology, Mimir loses his head after being beheaded by the Vanir due to them suspecting the Aesir had cheated in the exchange of hostages in the aftermath of the Aesir-Vanir war, being revived by Odin so he could continue to give him words of wisdom. In the game, Mimir is instead beheaded under his choice by Kratos and revived by Freya instead, both so he could help Kratos and Atreus on their journey and so he could escape from Odin's imprisonment and torture. In myth, Baldr was blessed by his mother to never be harmed after she made every object vow to never hurt him, apart from the mistletoe. Knowing that vulnerability, Loki then made a spear or arrow out of mistletoe, and during a competition in which the gods were throwing several weapons at Baldr only to see them harmlessly bounce off, gave the mistletoe to Baldr's blind brother Hodr, who inadvertently killed him. In the game, Loki, that is, Atreus, doesn't make the mistletoe arrow nor knows that it was Baldur's only weakness, but ends up removing his invulnerability when Baldur's punch hits the head of the arrow.

God of War (PS4) (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb	comment	Railroading: One very specific instance that occurs in NG+. When you reach the top of the mountain for the first time and can hear voices in the distance, there is the direct way up the cliff in front of you covered by the frozen thorns and the more roundabout side path to climb. On your first playthrough, you have no way to destroy the thorns and so you must take the roundabout route, which allows you to eavesdrop on the conversation between Baldur and Mimir. On NG+ however, you have the Blades of Chaos already, which allows you to burn the thorns on your first playthrough. However, as this would affect the story if you climbed directly up to where they were before they left, the game outright refuses to let you climb the direct route, replacing the circle prompt with a lock. This is the only real example as every other unlockable ability (from Atreus's arrows to the energy chain thing) have to be reunlocked through the story again before they are useable.

Hell, he doesn't even jump in this game, let alone double-jump as he could in the original games.

Kratos and Atreus just want to get to the highest peak in all of the Nine Realms to spread the ashes of Faye, the wife of Kratos and the mother of Atreus. They're doing this not out of opposition to the gods, but because it was a last request from Faye. The two protagonists only take part in the conflict between the Norse gods because the gods force their hand. Had the Stranger and Odin left them alone, Kratos and Atreus would simply not have gotten involved.

Taken a step further when Atreus gets arrogant after learning he's a god, during which he completely stops responding to the player's orders in battle (usually because he's too busy charging the enemies head-on), on rare occasions will even refuse to use a resurrection stone (which bypasses the button prompt and goes straight back to the last checkpoint), and will respond to out-of-battle ordersnote translating, shooting arrows at interactables, etc. with a dismissive "Whatever."
