[@kitsune_jones]

In case anyone was curious, the weapons he uses are: - the spear and shield, common armaments for Greek hoplites - the macuahuitl, a Mesoamerican weapon which is a club with obsidian blades embedded in it - a pair of khopeshes, from Egypt - and a katana, famously used by Japanese samurai Interesting to note, all of these weapons coincide with the locations we see Tyr visit in the base game.

[@ChavaKross]

Most likely they are also mithologycal weapons. I don't know to whom does the greek, egiptian and japanese weapons could belong to, but since that macuahuitl produces fire, you could say it is Huitzilopochtli's weapon (Aztec god of war) , the Xiuhcoatl (Solar Serpent), which was a living weapon made with the body of a legendary fire serpent. He used to behead his sister, the moon goddess and his 400 brothers, the stars that made the southern constelations, who were plotting to kill their mother Coatlicue

[@ShadicTheChosenOne]

The spear actually belongs to him.

[@dragonrider1736]

Sad thing about Mayan/Aztec warriors in battle, is that when you get injured, you'll be sacrifice. At least that's what I remembered back in history class

[@ChaplainPhantasm]

​@@ChavaKrossThe spear and shield is an obvious nod to Ares. In the many pieces of art I've seen of him, he always holds a spear and shield. The pair of Khopesh and the Katana are a bit tricky. The Khopesh could represent Maahes, a Jaguar headed God of War and protection in Egyptian mythology, which is usually depicted dual wielding various weapons, most commonly knives, but it could be a reference. The Katana is even harder, but my guess would be Hachiman, a Japanese God of War associated with the Minamoto clan. Although, art and sculptures of Hachiman never depict him holding a weapon.

[@billysaw69]

The spear and shield are the norse Tyr's weapons, dude...

Ares - The God Of War that woke up the monster inside of Kratos. Tyr - The God Of War that gave hope and redemption for Kratos.

[@Qardo]

Difference between the two pantheons. Greek Pantheon seems to be very fixed and has little deviation from their set lot in life. Ares, really is not known for anything but war. He is all about the strength and might of conquest. He does not care for anything else, but war. Never hear of Ares being the God of Law or God of Civil Engineering. He is War. That is all he knows. While Tyr, also the God of War. Yet, he is of Law. He knows how to bring order. To wage war is to fight for peace. He does not relish in conflict for the sake of conflict. He fights for peace. To which there is order and law. For Kratos, he "stole" the seat to become the God of War. After being manipulated by Ares, betrayed, and then killed Ares. He was shunned by the other two-faced Gods. Made choices he knew he should have never made. Yet, he was so blinded by grief and anger. He did not care. Yet, after killing all the Greek Gods, fleeing, and pretty much starting over. He rediscovered himself, he found love, had a family, lost his second love of his life, had bonding experiences with his son, watched his son become a man, and now realizing it all. He was given a second chance. He became not the God of War. But the God of Hope. A man who fought against Fate and the dying light. He was Hope that shined the brightest in the darkest of times. He is the symbol of the strength of a man that is willing to better themselves and be better. To never let their past dictate their actions. They can never change what they did in the past. Yet, they can be better and bring a better future. Kratos did that. He is a better man. If anything. That is the key take aways from this story. Never let your past control you. You are the master of your fate. You control everything. No, one else. They may judge you, but let them judge. They do not matter. You are the most important thing that can make your life better. You just have to put in the effort.

[@maxi1ification]

@@Qardojust as a small addition, and simply for fun facts. Ares was also known as a (for the time) defender of women, at the very least those related to him, but he was shown to basically be very protective of his daughter, very caring of his mother and overall very consistent on that front... all the brutality, sadism and bully and brute mentality and tendencies notwithstanding.

I can imagine Tyr having a talk with the Aztecs gods being like: I like these preparations what are those called again? Chocolate And this? Tomato Also what are those called? Irrigation canals, we need those to water the upper plants and it becomes easier to get water once we clean the human sacrificed Fascinating...human sacrifices? Yes, without their blood we thirst and become irrationally angry I see...may I be excused Sure my friend *Tyr grabs a giant macahuitl and disappear into the unknown

[@desreploid3353]

He certainly wouldn't react like that. While the Aztecs are admittedly at the far end of the violence bell curve, the Norse gods are no strangers to human sacrifices. The most notable of them would be Odin, who received ritual sacrifices in which a person was hung from a tree and than ran through with a spear, but other Norse gods got them as well.

[@futurereviews2018]

I love how while Tyr is revealing his weapons...the music that plays for each one is from their respective methodologies

[@tonysoldan]

The Týr boss fight was one of the coolest in the franchise. I love doing those challenges and building up Kratos each time to face a boss with different weapons and with a story to explore each time.

[@TheMagnificentManiax]

I love how every weapon Týr summons has its own musical motif from the land it comes from.

He knows that Kratos’s mind just works the best when he’s fighting. He remembers everything from a fight so he’s going to hold Tyr’s lessons close to him like he does with his great battles

I love how Norse Gods have tattoos like murals and they glow when in power. Almost like they were drawn in them as words with specific powers.

[@outbreakperfected5704]

That’s because they were, in Norse mythology those “tattoos” are called runes and they were basically how you did magic, for example a warrior might pain the Urzu rune to gain increased strength or one might use the Isa rune to conjure ice.

[@Aereto]

And the Tachi is a very demanding weapon for its strength in the slicing motion at exposed defenses. A critical hit that is assuredly a mortal draw. Curved weapons even the Kopesh are dangerous at the slice, but the Tachi's design was made in consideration of available metal of the land.

Absolutely would love some kind of comic or something talking about and showing tyr going to each different Pantheon. I would assume that he would have been morally disgusted by the Aztecs.

[@LordRaine]

Ragnarok gives me hope for something most people probably don't remember. In the run up to GW3, the lead dev talked about their plans for the game. They said that, in their storyboard, Kratos would have a son that would time travel, and together they would end up traveling outside of Greece to the lands of Norse mythology, and then Egypt. He said that Kratos, his son, and this other person from Egypt, that he alluded was Kratos' grandson, would end the cycle of destruction plaguing the gods, and in the end of it, they would be among the last gods standing. Then he said the epilogue would show all three of them as the three wise men, visiting an infant Christ at his birth to witness the new hope of man. Obviously, that never made it into GW3, they had to cut basically all of it and just keep it constrained to Greece. But God of War/4 made me think that they were still using the original notes, even after all these years, because Kratos DID have a time traveling son, who ended up being a god of the Norse pantheon. And now, with Ragnarok and some of the things they've shown with Tyr, I'm starting to wonder if they're actually planning on going through with it, and we'll get one final game set in Egypt where we either play as or work with Kratos' grandson, presumably one of the gods of THAT pantheon. We may actually get to see the original planned epilogue after all. Especially with how much Kratos has changed and grown wiser, he certainly seems to be drifting into that kind of final shape as a character. It would certainly be one hell of a way to send off the series.

[@borgir2138]

When I first saw him use the first and second weapons, my reaction was indeed surprised, but when he used two weapons from Egypt I immediately asked whether Tyr would use a weapon from Japanese mythology or something like a katana? And yeah, that's it

I mean the fact that all we know is that Tyr was worshiped not only as a God of War (like 99% of all Norse Gods) but PRIMARILY as a God of Peace, makes this character study so fascinating. I hope the team responsible for creating him writes a book about their journey into discovering Tyr!

[@ChavaKross]

Most likely they are also mithologycal weapons. I don't know to whom does the greek, egiptian and japanese weapons could belong to, but since that macuahuitl produces fire, you could say it is Huitzilopochtli's weapon (Aztec god of war) , the Xiuhcoatl (Solar Serpent), which was a living weapon made with the body of a legendary fire serpent. He used to behead his sister, the moon goddess and his 400 brothers, the stars that made the southern constelations, who were plotting to kill their mother Coatlicue

Something in how Tyr stops the final punch is intimidating as hell. Like all that time spent telling Kratos not to hold back was less about helping him overcome his demons than Tyr not wanting to just flat out curb stomp him straight to China.

Its also the weapons associated with their respective war deities. The Spear and Shield for both Tyr and Ares (since while Tyr's shield is marked with his own rune, its designed like a bronze Hoplon from Greece), the Khopesh for Egypt (who had different war deities at different times - its complicated), the Mahacuitl for Huitzilopochtli, and the Katana for Hachiman.

To me, Tyr is what I imagined a mythological god to look and act like. Physically larger than you, or even life, kind, compassionate, and whole devoted to his sphere of influence. His divine domain. He said it himself in the beginning. "People like us fight with our bodies while our minds work out the rest" hes a god of war, but he's not making war. He's resolving conflict. Conflict both on the battle field and with in ourselves. I hope there's a god of war 6 where we see a fully realized Kratos who's at the end of his road and who IS the God of War
