Brok's Viking Funeral Scene (Secret Ending) - God Of War: Ragnarök

[@Mr_Sinatra95]

As Faye said: To grieve deeply….is to have loved fully. It reflects so much on Sindri, Kratos, Freya, Hell even us it hurts the soul to kno that but it is true

[@leaustineglenn1409]

Amen dude, amen.

[@Dookieman1975]

Meanwhile half the aesir can’t even pretend to care about their own being murdered brutally. Even Thrud just accepts odin’s philosophy when it came to her own brothers

[@chefman470]

The riddle at the end left me speechless with goosebumps. I hope Sindri finds peace down the line.

[@KishorTwist]

I knew the answer to the riddle for years and perhaps decades ago, he he... I' m glad I wasn't spoiled from this sad sequence and the previous one that led to it!

[@Dookieman1975]

If they make a game that addresses him they’d prob just have him be a depressed hoarder and hermit. Not willing to seek vengeance (some reason a lot of fans want him to do it with kratos and Atreus when he already got it with Odin) but not willing to do anything either

[@GayLPer]

@@Dookieman1975 I wish Sindri would talk to someone. Grief festers the one who bears it is isolated. Doesn't even have to be a friend, just... someone who can be the mirror that he desperately needs to understand and process his grief.

[@batcow3152]

That final moment where Kratos and Sindri stare at each other is so well done. You can see all the emotions in Sindri’s face. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Sindri cried, punched Kratos, hugged him, or all three. The tension is so palpable

[@brandenmarcum430]

I wish he had hugged him. Still have an angry expression but still a hug. It would tell us that Sindri still sees him as a friend, he’s just sore from pain.

[@pjm9275]

I can’t tell honestly if Sindri blames Kratos as much as Atreus. Hopefully not, seeing as he knew Kratos didn’t want Atreus searching around for other things, but Atreus was the one to keep pressing things.

[@jilhaneyisaiahdanielb.8878]

@@pjm9275 Also, they were all fooled. People failed to see that Sindri, Atreus, and Odin are all accountable for Brok. They keep saying "Atreus fault for insubordination". True but that is lacking because there is this guy who tries to revive his brother so hard and the guy who said "Its a simple FUCKING CONcept!" that sounds like American Mobster boss.

[@HanithSVK]

@@pjm9275 Don't know about Atreus, but i don't think that Sindri blames Kratos. During this funeral, when Kratos is attempting to console Sindri, he turn around and looks like he is about to blow. But then his look slowly changes. I interpreted it in a way that Sindri really wants to blame Kratos, but then he realizes that it was not Kratos's fault and so then he just leave defeated. Sindri is lost.

[@khazhusky]

Damn, I never noticed it until now, but as the scene ends, Kratos breathing is so labored, emotionally. I'd almost say the loss of Brok almost brought genuine tears to him.

[@tommytoon_stories]

I wouldn't be surprised if he cried in private, many men do

[@raijusilver3449]

Brok is a character that could never be replaced.

[@trystanmichels5183]

The fact that the answer to the Joke Brok Told Mimir & Kratos is the last line of the game before credits and it ends up being so deep and complex instead of funny and stupid. Phenomenal writing.

[@shuttlecrossing1433]

Knowing Brok, he would have had a response for Mimir after figuring it out. Something funny and stupid like "Who you calling a hole, A-hole?" But without Brok, we never get to hear it.

[@Munchies2019]

The real hero of this story was brok. He called out tyr and saved all his friends from being lured into a trap and killed.

[@Artist-r3b]

His bravery led the rest of the gang to the true enemies and they put a stop to all of them.

[@martinc8965]

Better, it prevented Odin from gaining infinite knowledge and worse, giving him the satisfaction that he wanted so much by achieving his goal after going through an entire path for it that he built himself, whose main material for its construction was murder.

[@HanithSVK]

I can't stop but think... Could this be "the breaking point" that broke the prophecy of Giants? I mean this was the instance where Atreus truly could see, front view seat, what Odin is truly capable of... That he cares for nothing but himself. It was different when Odin invited him to Asgard, though Huginn did drop him outside of city for whatever reason(though i suspect that he wanted for Atreus to see Midgardians he so selflessly saved, to earn his trust), because there he just played a "good, misunderstood guy". Not to mention, that in my opinion, Brok considered Atreus and Kratos his people(family). He remembered that if not for both of them, he and Sindri would have never reconciled. And i also think that if Brok could see treatment Sindri gave to Atreus and Kratos, he would slap Sindri himself. I mean Sindir blame Atreus and Kratos(but mainly Atreus) for Brok dying, totally omitting the fact that it was Sindri's stupidity that cost Brok part of his soul. But back to original point. Since Faye was obviously capable of seeing the future herself(since, as far as i understood, the last shrine, where Angrboda takes Kratos and Atreus, was, at the very least, altered, the OG ending they envisioned ripped out by Faye(even Angrboda said that she went against their own people), yet on the other side was a very different result portrayed. So Laufey, somewhen, somewhere, somehow gained the ability to see the future, then she travelled to the last shrine we saw in Ragnarok(and possibly Jotunheim as well), ripped all the shrines that portrayed "Giant crafted" future for Kratos and Atreus AND managed to leave one shrine behind where her vision was portrayed.

[@AngelicDemon1308]

It truly says something that Kratos tried to comfort Sindri. Even in 2018, he'd be hard-pressed to reach out like that if he didn't think it was right or necessary. But even if Sindri wouldn't hear him, Kratos WANTED to try.

[@jackpollard550]

What really gets me is that Sindri doesn’t pull away, not until Kratos says “Brok was-“. He wants so desperately to be with his friends again, to not be alone, but his pain is still fresh.

[@nelson_rebel3907]

Having Kratos personally send you off at a funeral is about the highest level of honor I could even think of.

[@ahmedtayson6861]

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

Perhaps... but Sindri was the one who brought Brok back without a soul. That seems to be his deepest point of sorrow and anger, that Brok's soul could never be free, and that Sindri ultimately brought him to that conclusion. Perhaps above all, Sindri regrets his decision and has to live out the consequences. It is devastating.

[@estebanpineros9409]

This ending is always rough. Everyone won. There were plenty of sacrifices, but even those who lost someone or even died themselves, did so with the promise of a brighter future, either for themselves or for those whom they held most dear. Thor's family lost him, but they became free from Odin, and got to see Thor finally be free of his father, even if it was but for a moment at the end of his life. Even Surtr, who became a monster and perished as a living weapon, went gladly if it meant keeping his wife safe. The only one who honestly only lost was Sindri, in seeing Brok die. He's the only one who sees nothing to celebrate, probably the only one who can honestly say, if given the chance to lose everything "gained" in their struggle, would gladly do so, if it meant his friend was still with him. He knows he can't say that aloud, to be so openly selfish, but everyone knows and understands, that Sindri's the only one who lost far more than he could ever gain. It's as if Kratos had lost Atreus: it's the one thing he would never have been willing to sacrifice, and the one loss he could never forgive. Horrifying to watch a person completely break like that, worse to know there's nothing that can be done to help him, except hope and wait.

[@KCobra396]

Not going to lie I got chills when the music started to play I would love that to be played at my funeral.

Seeing the vanishing step Sindri and Brok use actually rendered out instead of them disappearing off camera always made me believe Sindri did it to look cool or give a mystical effect, therefore he did it when people weren’t directly seeing him. But after Brok died, he doesn’t care about showmanship, and openly steps between realms regardless of people staring.

[@JustSomeone41296]

I liked Brok, he was funny, that and really he was an interesting card, seeing his funeral and the pain Sindri was going through kinda reminds me of how I felt when my Grandma passed on then it reminded me of her and made me tear up, such a powerful scene

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

There are so many things about this scene that i feel aren't given as much note but maybe it's just due to how the comments are. First, it really is uncanny how well they catch the 'truly at peace' look the dead are said to have. Stories on stories i've heard of people who have seem someone after they die and mention how peaceful they look. Second, All fair credit to atreus, He could not of made that shot. Freya not only has experience on him as an archer in general but she has probably done this exact thing dozens of times as a Norse vanir/aesir goddess. Third, Honestly Given all the expressions we see in this scene, one thing i feel is that it's very likely Sindri and Kratos have a genuine chat without saying a word. The way Sindri's face moves you can read so many feelings out of him, his shifts, his exhastions, and at the end you can just see there's this weary resignation. We don't get to see Kratos' face because obviously the focus is on Sindri, but I have to imagine his eyes and subtle shifts speak volumes to the man. Lastly, I've seen noone speak about the Meta joke they slip in at the end. "I wrote that dirge, for him." Yeah, you did. Literally that's Bear, the man behind the music in the game. A lot of people do know that but I don't think many catch that little meta joke.Also just, "Something Profane." absolutely fitting for Brok. Also, while I don't want a brok clone, I do hope we might see someone similar in the next game, whether we follow Atreus or Kratos. For the obvious brok references. "You remind me of someone I knew." "huh, Must of been an unfriendly bastard If i remind you of them." "Honestly, was one of the nicest people you could ever meet." Just the quiet turn from this new character in confusion.

[@kianrodriguez4455]

Fun fact, the song is called Raeb's Lament, which basically Bear but reversed

This was so well done. The emotions.....man.....

[@farwdavid8305]

This hurt so much more considering I preferred Brok over Sindri, love the both of em but Brok is more relateable. Thtas my guy. I felt Broks pain for real.

[@merikmalhads1676]

The land of the lost dead. There are two mythologies I know of where he might be wandering. The wastes of shiul of ancient jewish myth and the duat of egypt (honestly they may be one in the same just different names. The histories of both mine and the egyptian peoples are so intertwined it is likely we share roots in our ancient myths). It might mean one day we will find him there but if we are going to Japan or India next then it may be a while. We know when he was there Thoth told Kratos that he would have more there to do in the future and considering he is a god of wisdom depicted as knowing the fates after all as his feathers were literally used to weigh the worthiness of ones life, it is likely we will be there at one point or another. That being said, if he is really causing a ruckus in a land known for housing a literal demon god of chaos, he is already going to be somewhat of a legend there by the time we get there

[@MunkeeMag]

7:20 Atreus out of nowhere "You're on fire! But I guess you already knew that!"

I don't know why, but i honestly can't keep myself from crying when the music ramps up the moment sindri starts to cry. That song is so beautiful it always unearths some deeper emotions in me. Truly a work of art.

[@Whofan06]

Finally hearing the answer to Brok's riddle is such a gut punch. And the state of Sindri's armor. Hes not himself anymore. Im convinced thats not the end, not with things left that way, and Sindri will be one of the biggest keys to finishing the story. Maybe an Egyptian god offers a way to save Brok's soul after what happened?

[@kaproskarleto5136]

I like how freya went for a trickshot

[@QuesoObsesso]

As is tradition in Norse funerals. They did a high shot, usually using a star of some kind to assist with aiming, specifically to make it more likely for the arrow to hit the boat and stay there by coming down on the boat instead of hitting it from the side. Even with the stars and angle making it easier to hit where you want, it was still extremely difficult and the shot was always entrusted to the most skilled archer in relation to the departed, it was common for them to practice that specific shot well ahead of time to ensure that they don't miss. Also going out on a flaming boat is metal as hell.

[@kaproskarleto5136]

@@QuesoObsesso so a traditional trickshot?

[@Relmking]

Essentially Broks death was karma for Sindri, despite how we see it, yes it is a tragedy but, sindri broke the laws of life because he couldnt be alone, and because of that he lost his brother, I dont truely believe that Sindri hates kratos and Atreus, he probably resents them yes but it may also be that he knows what he did and its truely karma, and him pushing everyone away might be how he feels he must be punished, and true he still may have some anger towa4rds everyone else because they did play apart of broks death, i'm sure he doesnt want to lose them too, or be responsible for losing more, If im right whicdh i may not be, in the next game if someone needs his help expessially a matter of life and death, he will help them and show he does care but will be distant. but this just my theory on the matter

Time will hopefully have healed Sindri's wounds in the next God game.

[@VonArmagedda]

He doesn't hate Kratos or Atreus, he's angry at them, but most importantly, he's angry to himself. Deep inside, he realise that breaking the rules of life and death means Brok is gone forever, and just because he didn't want to be alone, to let go.

[@ivanramirez1027]

I think Sindri, despite hurting, felt a confused type of pain when looking at Kratos; yes, he lost Brok, who can never get a proper afterlife after Sindri tried to put him together, but, in a way, he would have never been reunited with his brother the way he was if it weren’t for Kratos and Atreus’ quest. What hurts more is not only did he get to reunite with his brother, but bringing in Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir means that he developed a family of sorts, especially when it came to becoming the closest thing Atreus has to an uncle. Sindri feels betrayal the most, but he can’t fully reconcile his emotions with the journey Brok and Sindri had with the others.
