God of War Ragnarok Story FULLY EXPLAINED! (GOW Ragnarok Full Story Breakdown & Lore)

God of War Ragnarok has a fantastically crafted story, however,*- it can be pretty complicated to understand when playing through the game due to the shire size and length of the campaign and story mode. However, in this video, I have gone through my 22 hours of gameplay and broken down the story of GOW Ragnarok and explained how it links with God of War 2018, and exactly what happens throughout.

God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC Story Explained - kzbin.info/www/bejne/enKcpY2tatGWkK8

[@pwnzormcduck6546]

I loved the ending. How it made Kratos pretty much cry and seeing him in shock. That people are worshipping revering him as a rebuilder and not a destroyer or monster anymore.

[@TheArtofKAS]

😩 truly brought tears to my eyes

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Truly a god of war worthy of reverence and respect. One that does not seek war, but fights one only when necessary.

[@myrixica4222]

[@razavierdavis]

My head canon is that when Thor killed Kratos and revived him in their first fight, that was actually the prophecy coming to fruition.

[@shad3115]

The prophecy on the wall shows Atreus holding Kratos in his arms crying or something, but since Atreus wasn’t there to hold Kratos when the time came maybe the prophecy was never going to be fulfilled since the beginning of the game. Maybe Faye destroying the mural changed fate.

[@johnlucas2838]

Still think that Kratos got clocked out by Mjolnir. He didn't die just got knocked out.

[@willburko3197]

Nah, the Norns said fate in this land more works because people can’t change their nature. When Kratos trusts Thrud, extends an olive branch to Thor, and tell Atreus to open his heart and save civilians, he changes from how he has previously been. In doing so, the events that would’ve come from him remaining stubbornly violent are altered

[@kakarotblack5985]

@@johnlucas2838 no he died that's why it took you to the death screen the same screen that you get when you die in game that's why they took you to that screen to make sure you understood that he just died that's why he had to shock his heart to bring him back to life his heart had stopped that's the whole point of him putting the hammer on his chest and shocking him he died he wasn't knocked out

[@kyleromus6845]

This is a re-upload of my God of War Ragnarok Explanation video because the previous one got age restricted? The video took me 40 hours to create and it was doing so well. When it was age restricted it just tanked in performance... I have no idea why, and KZbin themselves wouldn't even tell me why it was age restricted. So I have no choice to re-upload the video so that everyone can see it again. Sorry for the re-upload, I appreciate you understanding.

[@ruijie1961]

It's also subtle, but in Kratos's shrine, you can see the embossed shape of Thor and Atreus, meaning this was the death mural of Kratos we saw in the past; but it has been painted over with this new future of him uniting the people and being beloved by the people. Faye changed their future and guided them both towards a more beautiful future that would persist long after she was gone; for her son and Kratos whom she loved. She changed the future where Kratos would die, signified by how it was painted over with this new future.

[@alizayd4040]

how does she change the future?

[@ruijie1961]

@@alizayd4040 Like the Fates said "You are the sum of your choices, nothing more." and Atreus mentioned that in prophecy, only the big events get forseen, the details are up to us and can be changed. The GoW fate and prophecy system works in a bit of a hybridization of these 2 concepts. With this in mind, Faye, having seen this future, rejected it. Her people, the giants, forsee the future with their future sight and embrace it as their culture. Faye went against the entire culture of her people and fought to change that fate. She broke shrine in Jotunnheim to prevent Kratos and Atreus from knowing their future. So that all their choices will be theirs alone, and not blindly follow a prophecy they saw (it was referenced several times that people in knowing their fate, try to change it, and thir efforts to change fate only end up leading to that fate they try to escape. So Faye changed small details and with her future sight, made extensive preparations before her death. She painted guiding markers (which we see as guides for where to climb,etc), set up a safe haven for Atreus to grow in safety, then got Kratos to cut down the tree that hid them from the gods, knowing that it will set them on the path towards changing their fate.

[@brandondelacruz4170]

I love this because it all ties back in to the concept of hope. Faye put all her hopes into Kratos, because she could see the man that he could become. Hope that Kratos will grow and better himself. She believed in the god that she knew Kratos could become.

My only complaint was that his bow abilities/runic attacks were kind of lame.

It is bitter sweet that he couldn't see what happened to gods like him when he died, but he could have not seen that future because he didn't have one. His soul was destroyed. So he, like Brock won't ever be able to have an afterlife. Brock maybe lost because of his direction but that don't mean he can't find the lake of souls necessarily. Sindri couldn't get one part back, that part could have been his direction. So he may find an afterlife yet.

[@1spitfyre]

I feel like I need to correct one thing. Atreus was going to talk to Freya, and Sindri tagged along and convinced Atreus to ask the world serpent before going to Freya.

[@mastrrman144]

I like your take on the story, but you have to know a few things about Kratos. He said that he does not belive in fate, but he also said that he will take no chances with Atreus' life, that is why he has been training him for whole Fimbuldwinter. He also knows that fate is a tricky thing so he took no chances with Heimdall, Atreus asked him why he made the spear if he does not belive in the Norns. The main point of the game is Kratos trying to protect his son from Ragnarok since he fears of losing him, but also becouse he does not want to be a god killer again. He accepted Atreus' search for Tyr as long as it did not escalate into war with Asgard. And when he was in his tent before Ragnarok, he had another sleep about Faye and she told him to open his heart to the people, and since he did that he became a god worthy of worship, like in the shrine. And Faye did not save the day, fate can be averted, she made the back of the last shrine since she knew Kratos better than anyone, but she destroyed the end of the first one becouse she knew those things would not happen, but she did not want prophecy to change their actions, so she kinda saved the day, but not in your way.What i mean to say is that by changing like Faye told him, Kratos' actions were drastically different from what the Norns expected,and the Norns said that fate is the sum of your choices, so he survived Ragnarok. And if you did not understand why he was preparing Atreus, it is becouse he feared that Atreus would have to live without him.

First about the part with the marbles or rather the thing you were talking about with rocks, they aren't rocks that look like bodies they ARE bodies. Angrboda says that they just left a big enough pile of corpses to make Odin think they were all dead. Second Freyr didn't marry Groa he married Gerdr whom he gave up his sword for. Third Atreus took MODI'S room, not MAGNI's. Fourth Sutr is a fire giant and Sinmara is a frost giant they are not gods there's a difference between god and giant. Fifth The Norns aren't a species They are just three spirits that can see into the future or at least able to predict it incredibly well. Sixth Draupnir is MADE of mineral and not A mineral its a ring not a rock. Seventh "when draupnir is combined with another mineral" is not what they did, they took a spearhead and draupnir along with some of the essence of wind to which the lady combined with Kratos' blood to make a spear. Eight, Thor WAS an alcoholic along with Sif his wife, they both tried to stop drinking and Sif upheld her side while Thor broke it in the mead hall before the brawl. Nine AGAIN sinmara and Sutr AREN'T gods, they are giants, Sutr a fire giant and was in Muspelheim and Sinmara is a FROST giant in Niflheim. Ten Hildisvini was always a human he was just trapped in his boar form in Midgard. Eleven the blades of chaos aren't just filled with primordial fire they were made USING primordial fire or at least with primordial fire. Twelve No not all of the gods of the realms, Vanaheim and Asgard have gods, Niflheim has frost giants, Alfheim has no gods, Muspelheim had fire giants, Helheim doesn't have a god, Midgards gods are the Vanir and Aesir, Svartalfheim doesn't have any gods, and Asgard well its the side the others are fighting oh and Jotunheim has no gods either just giants. Thirteen his name is Atreus not Loki. Fourteen Kratos didn't arrive from Athens he arrived from Olympus' ruins. This wraps what details the youtuber got wrong or mixed up. ( it goes along with the video so I wish you luck trying to read it.

Considering the Blades of Chaos are named after the primordial goddess in Greek Myth, Chaos/Khaos which was the first god to emerge in creation.

@Jamaine Elmore your right Hildisvini had 2 forms, most notably in norse mythology he was a pious believer of Freya named Ottar, to whom he built shrines of stone and an altar to her. She answered his prayers for help in finding out his ancestors by disguising him as Hildisvini, and tricking Gygr Hyndla a jotun of writing and text and forced the jotun into giving a memory potion to him so he would not forget what she knew of his ancestors.

[@calebleach7988]

Well technically giants and gods are the same. They both come from the primordial giant, so they are technically related.

[@onehitkill5816]

@@calebleach7988 yes that's True but the giants don't have abilites like the gods they can't completely control one element to their will. Some like Thamur were frost giants sure but they did other things and didn't specialize in the element they were born of. Like Atreus, or Faye they were just giants not Fire or ice giants. Whereas the gods have unique powers and abilities. They may be related but fundamentally they are different.

My two peeves with this game- 1: That the death of Kratos felt like it’s purpose fell off halfway through the game. It felt so huge at the end of the 1st game and was really a worry in the beginning of this game, it just felt forgotten about in terms of importance. 2: When uniting the realms, I really didn’t feel that sense of having an army in the final parts of the game. We see some Ex Valkyries and the main cast, no other armies really seen fighting but were told it’s important to keep the portals open. Sutur was just kinda in the background along with the world serpent. The final battle with Odin felt lackluster, Odin didn’t really do anything that would make me think he’s feared as the all powerful, Baldur was a more visually stunning final fight. The game was great but felt rushed in the late game.

[@_morethanjake]

I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. The final battle against Asgard didn't really feel like all the realms coming together to defeat the enemy, and it wasn't as epic as I was expecting. We don't really see any army from those realms. I also didn't think the Odin fight was particularly challenging, and in hindsight it does make me wonder why/how he was so powerful as the 'All-Father' and how everybody was so scared of him/his power. I also wish we got to see more of Jormangandr, as his battle with Thor mostly happened off-screen, and I was anticipating this battle to be it's own cut-scene. I also think that Surtr didn't live up to the potential of Ragnarok, because only a few minutes into the battle Kratos wants to call him off. (I the Kratos character arc of saving the innocent and opening his heart, I just feel Surtr was misused/underused). Other than a few minor critiques (which to be fair, some of which could be my own errors as misunderstanding the story) I still think both GOW 2018 and GOW Ragnarok are some of the finest games I have ever played.

Soooo Thor looks exactly like he is described in the Norse Myths. The thing I loved about this game was the accuracy to the Prose Edda over the Poetic Edda, right down to how BROK dies

[@Cyrus-rodn45]

It has alot of inaccuracies

[@patrickbateman4362]

There is no real description of Thor in the myths other than that he has red hair and a red beard and "fierce" eyes. I do love this design, but it isn't any more or less accurate than any other depiction of him.

[@mattimeikalainen6963]

@@patrickbateman4362 he is desribed as having an enormous appetite and loving mead. Also as the strong and powerful guardian of midgard. From the myths if one were to envision thor it would be exactly like in the game.

[@patrickbateman4362]

@@mattimeikalainen6963 not necessarily, an argument could be made that, because he's a God, he isn't bound to the limits of human biology. Remember, he's a different type of being than normal humans, so he wouldn't necessarily work the same way humans do. I'm not saying it's a bad portrayal of him, I quite like it. I'm just saying that since there is barely any real description of his appearance that there isn't really a 100% "lore accurate" way to portray him.

[@mattimeikalainen6963]

@@patrickbateman4362 i mean ofcourse he can look like anything. But based on the lore, and on just viking physical standards. A ritund and burly thor is the most likely version. Nothing is provable or official in any way.

Kratos putting his axe on the table after Thor was a sign of dominance. Ot was a sign for a very temporary peace truce aka okay let's talk we don't need our weapons to talk but they're both wary and kept their weapons close. Almost like "okay let's lay it all out on the table" except in big BAMF man language

[@ameliajales5307]

I hope the Japanese mythos is next, the thought of Atreus shooting tiny rockets with his bow is just hilarious.

So the plot about the 'mask' is coming from 'son of the mask'

[@horriblebadwolf]

I notice that Odin dies in the same way that kratos was supposed to,in the arms of Atreus,maybe the prophecy was saying his father figure instead of father and Atreus maybe thought of Odin as a father figure that’s why he tried to see the good in him and save him.

Pretty sure this does a hell of a lot better than marvel at depicting a more “lore accurate” version of thor. He’s supposed to be a red head and pot belly look is more accurate for Thor’s strength than marvel who go for best looks.

hey Wizzo, I was curious as to why you thought the exploding spear would counter Heimdall. I kinda thought that because the spear could infinitely duplicate, this sort of broke Heimdalls ability to see all possibilities; as the possibilities were endless. What do you think of that?

[@_Wizzo]

That's right! The Droupnir can duplicate which means when we throw many spears at heimdal, it stuns him and we can get a hit on him! :)

What I don’t understand is why the mask had a reaction in Hel? No piece of the mask was there so why? To free Garm?

[@Davemonlee]

That’s a good question. Let’s see if future DLC covers that. Or possible sequels.

[@Emeraldwolf325]

Probably because garm has the ability to slice through realms. The small tear and garm's realm tears seem very similar.

[@jamaineelmore5722]

Exactly! No one even questioned that. I thought for sure the mask piece was gonna be actually attached to Garm after he ran away

So Faye destroyed the the last part of the mural in hopes that that her son and husband wouldn’t allow the prophecy to come true? She didn’t want the mural to affect their actions? But little did she know Atreus knowing his fate is what allowed him to change it.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows how Atreus would have reacted to the mural, if he saw it, when he was still a kid.

@@kommo1I watched another video where the writer explains that in the Ragnarok fight where Kratos says the whole ‘justice, not vengeance speech’ that was when they changed ‘fate’.
