I imagine Kratos likes the three doors riddle because it is very straightforward, literal and has a reasonable answer unlike many riddles that require you to think outside the box. This one just requires you to pay attention and use common sense.

It's a riddle with a practical application. Kratos likes practical.

[@thomasecker9405]

To be honest, depending on the variation of this riddle, you can utilize a lot of crafty thinking about how to answer.

[@lordderppington4694]

Totally being facetious here, but lions can survive up to 3 months between meals, so that is actually some very *very* hungry boys behind that door.

[@kairu_aname]

@@lordderppington4694 Actually no. Records indicate up to a month without food. That's with protection from predators and other lions. Now, if those same lions stop getting fed, we assume they stop getting water as well. Assuming their time to die is just a tad longer than humans on the scale of food(comparing mammals), then assuming just a tad longer on the scale of water intake is reasonable. On that front it's around 3 to 4 days for humans generally. So assuming roughly a little longer for lions would be about 4 to 5 days. So weeks(at least two), for captured animals that have been fed and watered every day, would indeed kill them.

One of the things Ragnarok got so right is Kratos' emotional range. He has actual friends now, people he trusts, not just hate and a goal.

Part of the reason the Norns segment is so impactful is it brings his character into sharp relief against the man he once was.

[@squashmallow2006]

The best part is, he still maintains his stoicisms and discipline. But having said that, he's willing to still chill. Plus, he finally learned to be the type of man Atreus of Sparta was.

It's not the praise, it's more about him changing when he thought he'll never could, everyone saw him as a monster, a destroyer of worlds and now everyone sees him as the saviour of the eight realms

@@izzitaki6351 yeah that's what I meant, most of the things he hears about himself probably doesn't make him feel proud, glad the white behemoth can finally find peace in such a jacked up life.

Kratos has had some of the best progression I’ve ever seen in a character. I like that he’s more open now, has friends, and is willing to let joy into his life now. He deserves it.

The perfectionist squirrel's laconicism resonating with Kratos is appropriate considering that Spartans were famously economical in their speech. In fact the area of Laconia was interchangeable with Sparta.

I mean he didnt know enough about the ghost of sparta to recognize him either, so im guessing his knowledge is largely limited to scandinavian/nordic stuff

Well, seeing as he’s traveled and learned of Scottish folklore, Celtic, knows iconic Greek stories and that Greek gods suck, even knows and was part of Arthurian legend, ancient Egyptian culture, was in a Shakespeare play, was a part of Robin Hoods merry men, and made it to Norse. You’d expect he’d no about olives but I guess he didn’t try every Morsel of food

[@joblessnerd7451]

You don't have to be the source of infinite knowledge to be the smartest man alive. If he really know everything then Odin wouldn't have risk his life for some dumb mask. Just have Mimir sit on his lap all day telling him stories and feeding him with knowledge.

3:10 Ironically the word “laconic” that Ratatosk uses to describe his perfectionist side has come from the name of the land “Lacedaemon” which is... Sparta. Ancient Spartans were famous for their short and sharp manner of speaking and negotiating. So Kratos is an embodiment of the word laconic

It's these small interactions that I love more about Ragnarok than the last game. Everyone raves in the game about Atreus growing up but even Kratos changed a lot between games. He's still short with convseration and grunts when he answers, but he says thank you regularly to Brok and Sindri, and even calls Mimir brother right back. Compare to at the start of last game, all that mattered to him was spreading Fayes ashes and then heading right back home to brood

Fun fact Perfectionist Squirrel was just called Laconic here The region of Greece Sparta is in, is called Laconia Spartans were pretty well known for their quick witted but short responses as Kratos demonstrates multiple times So the term Laconic (using few words) gets it's name from Spartans Which is probably why Kratos likes Perfectionist Squirrel

I appreciate Kratos now equally as much as he was before, I do wish they were different characters in a way. Vengeance filled Kratos was such an outstanding character that portrayed his rage very well, meanwhile this more retired God of War with his son is equally a pleasing experience with cold distance but still warmed by the occasional wholesome moment. I enjoy Kratos' character, both of them.

[@playstationarusu]

But if they're separate characters then there's no redemption for Kratos. The Greek saga is what makes the Norse saga so satisfying
