BROK & THE WITCH | First Time Playing God of War (2018) - Part 2

[@matiasgago]

Woke up to 40K subs and I just wanted to say thank you guys so much ❤ With every milestone we get closer to hopefully one day doing this full time and that is the most exciting thing ever. Love y'all and if Atreus interrupts me one more time I might lose my mind.

[@whosdanl]

congrats!!

Mati, don't skip this. It'll just be a minute I just want to say thank you for waking up something that was buried deep inside of me. I know this might sound irrelevant to you but since you uploaded God of War content, i started to learn more and more about Mythology both Greek and Norse mythology. And now i have recently made a few videos on tiktok about Mythologies in my native language since there are very few people who discuss Mythology in my language. So once again, thank you for lifting up my Spirit Mati❤❤❤ Muchas Gracias✌️

Hey Mati! I don’t want to be a backseat gamer on this series so please ignore if you wish to discover these tips on your own. Many normal attacks can be blocked, and most if not all can be parried. If an attack has a yellow circle, it cannot be blocked and only parried (from my experience the parry window is smaller, but I might just be trash). Attacks with a red circle cannot be blocked or parried. There are some cases where they can be interrupted by an axe throw or similar, but it’s often better to just evade. Enemy health bars are as follows: Green - lower level than you. Yellow - same level as you Red - 1 level higher than you Purple - 2 or more levels higher than you. The more you upgrade your gear, the higher your level - the health bars will change colour with you, which is a useful way of gaging whether a fight is winnable, or if you’ll be dead in a single hit (this happens often with purple 💀) Hope these help, and good luck with the play through! ❤

[@abewlol]

these would be so useful, hope he sees this

[@Manosid]

Yellow circle attacks can actually be blocked with no damage taken, but it will break posture and take a while to recover

[@slendermonkey7]

@@Manosid yes you’re absolutely right, what I really meant is they can’t be blocked like normal attacks and will leave you open to attacks (so basically you can’t block them)

[@HellYeahGaming]

A fun bit of irony that makes me chuckle. Kratos, a man full of rage who fights like a berserker, is a Spartan that hails from Greece, a people renowned for their genius tactics and military cunning. It isn’t until he travels to the lands of the Norse, known for Viking berserkers who battle more with might than tactics, that he becomes a more introspective and restrained person. I just like that reversal of expectations.

[@morganmariex]

1:26:12 Mati talking about the flowers: "That looks exactly like the ones that were by the water" Me: Looks at the "flowers" (stack of dead fish on a stick) by the water 🤨🤨

[@GirlofCulture]

The less you are hit by enemies in battle, the more praising Kratos is towards his son. At least at the beginning. This is a complete narrative adventure, lots of dialougs, way more then Kratos in the original games talk. Like in all games together. But thats good, cause it is so well written.

Mati, I just wanted to say this this series has arrived at the perfect time for me personally. Like how you said some things are just meant to be, idk. I never got the opportunity to play the games myself, and have been really sick with covid AND flu the past two weeks. I've been burning through the GoW videos and am now caught up!

Very nice episode =D Your light switches at 52:44 (timestamp direktly on the change, so have to go back 10 secs to see it) and you notice it at 1:30:32 I had hoped it would change more often to show a pattern, but this way the ghost theory is still strong. Lets watch out for more paranormal activity in the background in upcoming videos. Maybe it´s the ghost of Sparta.

[@lucassmith3790]

Words can't describe how excited I am for this playthrough. I really appreciate how much care you're taking to absorb the story. About trust, Kratos wasn't exactly saying he doesn't trust her at all, he was just saying that Atreus is too easily trusting. He also gained her respect when she did not spill his secret.

[@booket2391]

ANOTHER EPISODE OF PEAK 🔥 LOVE TO SEE IT MATI

[@Scyth0r]

36:36 - I think you cut it from the video, Mati, but did you notice the positioning of the last enemy? They put it behind a wall, so you have to move to a specific spot in order to get the axe throw angle needed to kill it. This moves you into the exact position the game needs you to be in for the cutscene. Genius subtle game design. Sets everything up and keeps it in one shot, without cuts and awkward camera angles.

[@josephmad3255]

Damn dude, I do not want this series to end already. Brock is awesome. I already want another video. This series made me subscribe. I hope you have a good time truly

[@quethpinkle]

Congrats on 40k!! Well deserved!! And in my opinion, I like watching the easier difficulty. The game flows much better when basic mobs take 45 seconds intead of 3 minutes to take down!

[@andrew2685]

Mati all I want to say is that you are going to get mind blown on the next area. Also there is a line that was cut from the studio when Kratos was asked to get Lamb's crest it is pretty funny.

[@ASamSan]

There's another neat little detail that I really liked about this game, aside from the one continuous shot, and that only people from other countries got to see, and that's the credits at the beginning of the game, the credits change if you're playing the dubbed version of the game, they show the names of their respective voice actor. Is a really cool detail, and is nice to see all the different voice actors in other countries being recognized this way.

[@ImCelest]

Congrats on 40k Mati! ABSOLUTE GOAT🙏🏾

I love watching people play this game because everyone has their own style of play and reactions to the story. However, my favorite moments are when everyone's inner gamer comes out. "Man these environments look so beautiful and the sound design...BIRD...×Crash×...is so good and immersive."

[@falco8494]

14:38 oof, guess I'm not the only one who switched difficulty from hard to normal at this point :D Balanced will give you enough challenge believe me The Odin birds are tricky, it is easy to miss one, good luck with that

[@josephinejekyl5848]

I have no problem you playing this on normal mode. Totally up to you. You gonna have some real tough times later so up to you. You can try switching back n forth to gauge it though. First playthrough imo is all about the father son bonding journey. Also certain guy later you are gonna LOVE. got a good head on his shoulders... Also 41:23 you hear that whoosh noise? Green Ravens. They're all over the place. You can kill em for a trophy if you so choose. They can be hard to spot.

[@akobozaske]

Dude, I love the new god of wars and I like Atreus But This comment.

[@fernandohinojosa3211]

It is designed to be a child. Curious, impertinent, temperamental, vain and haughty when he discovers his identity. It seems logical to me that there are people who find it annoying. That's not bad for the game though. What is bad for the game is how incredibly artificial the npc feels during gameplay. He always teleports when out of sight and is untouchable while you fight. It's justo one more skill.

[@Phil_DeFontaine]

I am glad that you are giving Atreus some upgrades. Maybe now he is not that useful but trust me, fully upgraded Atreus with his skills will be really a meanece and I WAS PLAYING ON GOD OF WAR DIFFICULTY(The highest one) and boy was saving my life lot's of time.

[@anton3908]

Hey Mati here is a combat tip: Try to throw the axe at the Draugr legs. It will make them fall and it will be easier for you to combo them. Another important tip is that if you pin an enemy into a wall or a tree or something like that with the heavy axe throw it will kill them instantly. Remember that it doesn’t work in all the walls and you must launch the enemy into the air first then pin them into the wall. Hope this helps;)

The time and effort is starting to show how much we love you. Kratos is slowly getting a soft spot for Atreus, definitely. In time I believe, he will show more affection. That lady might be a witch, but she has great taste for house decor and made it comfortable and cozy. Something tells me we haven't seen the last of her yet, since Atreus looks like he likes her.

[@DatBoiKwame]

Gratz on 40k! Excited to see you push through this game. It'd be cool if you went back up in difficulty, i think you could do it. A tip i have (because i suffered this same issue when playing on the higher difficulty) is focus down enemies. When you get jumped sometimes you tend to leave enemies with low HP alone and refocus higher HP enemies, leaving a ton of extra bodies and possible incoming damage roaming around. Once that clicked for me about 6 hours into the game, it personally got alot easier for me

[@terencespark]

the important thing to note about the enemies who are stronger than you is that they don't become stunned as easily. this is important because you can't continue to hit them with your combos. you need to be more defensive & be aware of their attack patterns. when they're weaker, each hit lets you continue on with your combos because they do not attack while being hit. when you get more proficient with all the mechanics & gain more abilities, you might try the higher difficulty levels, but at this point, it might be too difficult. i'm sure there are people who managed, but imo, the higher difficulty levels are for new game plus or after you become acclimated to all the mechanics.
