Yeah. I also think why he's talking about his past is because at this point in time, almost every god in norse mythology knows of Kratos too for most part.

In this moment, not only does she realize that Kratos understands that exact emotion but that it is the very thing that made him unfathomably infamous. Freya just realized that Kratos DID exact his revenge on those that killed his daughter. He destroyed ALL OF OLYMPUS and DEALT EVERY AGONY IMAGINABLE on them. Freya made furious threats that Kratos had already followed through on and regrets to this day. He has wisdom beyond her that she HAS to respect.

[@ajc0072]

She would've gone down the same path if it wasn't for someone who has experienced that before, i.e. Kratos

[@uberfeel]

There is another Greek reference in this game, while hearing the story of how Frayer while being a guest to the Aesiers almost got him burned by them, Kratos gets surprised/offended after hearing that story because in greek tradition treating your guest horribly can bring bad omen to you.

[@worldeater2414]

Treating your guest poorly in Norse myth usually means the offended party can kill the offender

[@silkhenge]

Xenia (hospitality) was one of the virtues Greek respected the most. Sure Vikings can kill the offending host but xenia for Greeks were more than that.

At least we learned why Kratos didn’t keep the powers he had. When Greece was destroyed most of the magic of it died too. So Kratos only retained his strength and endurance and his blades retain their magic likely because it was infused into it.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Well we don't really know much about the Blades of Chaos only that Ares forged them so its possible he used primoridial fire from the Norse lands. It would explain how Surtur used their magic and why it was still around ever after Greece was destroyed, and since their origins were told in the first game its possible they may have just retconned them. I mean the first game was meant to be the only one since Kratos was watching over all mankinds war includeing the modern World Wars.

So maybe Primordial forces are similar between Pantheons. So while Kratos’ blades aren’t of the Nine Realms the fire magic in them is similar to the same primordial fire magic in Muspellheim.

[@calebstephan2083]

Atleast they gave an explanation as to why kratos can't use magic anymore. In the old Greek novels kratos was capable of using magic and spells in the actual lore for gow. I remember in the gow comic based on after kratos became the god of war, he cast a spell that summoned the heat of the sun and used it to vaporize an island sized titan. Atleast they explain why he only has super strength and no other powers. I always thought kratos could learn Freya's magic or Odin's magic but now they explained he literally can't cast spells because of Olympus being destroyed

[@realamericannegro977]

At the end of 3 it didnt seem completely destroyed to me.

[@90CJk]

No only the powers he gained from Greece. He can’t use the power he gained over his years in Greece. As Freya said Magic is bound to the earth. So when Greece and it’s gods destroyed their power vanished. And Kratos likely wouldn’t want to learn Vanir magic as Atreus and Freya already know it. And I would see him having the discipline but not the patience to want to sit down and learn it.

[@nightfall3332]

He has super healing as well.

[@futavadumnezo]

And he's originally a demigod, his mother was a mortal. Once he took the place of God of War he received Zeus' blessing and the power of a true god. But then he lost it. He's technically not a fully-fledged god.

Forever forsaking her to the point she doesn't even play the flute he made for her anymore. That was one of the hardest things I saw kratos do. Because his actions did save Olympus and the gods, and also paradise so that her soul would be safe, and yet it was for nought because they betrayed him. Honestly kratos didn't deserve such pain.

The callbacks to the previous games are so great. Shows how much Kratos has grown from his past, and the insurmountable chellenges he had to overcome.

Your dedication on spreading information about the game is absolutely treasurable. Thank you for your work and may your hard work blooms even more

It’s occurred to me when listening to this that whilst everyone knows Kratos killed the Greek Pantheon, but nobody really knows why he did it

[@youthoughtiwasstupid8525]

I love how everyone walks on egg shells around kratos except those that call him they're friends they're just used to his undercover brutality doesn't even surprise them lol

I have yet come across a conversation about him facing the Shovel Knight and according to the makers of God Of War that fight is canon lol

[@oliverstacey855]

what freya and Mimir said about the threads of time, has me more convinced that each "land" is actually a separate world altogether. With each pantheon knowing of each other but refuse to interact. Until Tyr came along that is.

They were talking about kratos actual magic. Did you forget that kratos could actually cast spells when he was younger ? Read the novel. The mf knew a shit ton of magic but he lost it all in gow 3. The creators of gow 3 didn't allow him to use all of his magic because the player would be too op so they just didn't add it but in the lore he still had alot of spells he could use until they were stripped from him at the end of gow 3 by the spirit of Zeus. He gained a more powerful magical power after which was the power of hope but kratos ended up giving that up as well

Huh, I thought they were talking about his appearance in PS All-Stars. Considering that game had Sly(scoundrel), Fat Princess, Sir Daniel (Undead), Big Daddy(mistaken for an automaton) following those categories. Also, the fact that Kratos not wanting to talk about. Though I could be wrong.

[@nobuffer101]

One little subtle fact that I love is Surtr’s line about the primordial fire in the Blades of Chaos. It essentially hints that even across far off lands and myths there are certain forces that connect them together, one such force being primordial flame. It essentially justifies the whole “origin of creation” behind the crack Odin is obsessed with.

[@elmersantos1526]

When he talked abiout his daughter, I cried a little. Rememberinf the scene hurts my heart.

The line about kratos fighting in a tournament is refering to the ps allstar battle royale, where kratos fought, among others, Nathan Drake (the scaundrel), Daniel Fortesque (the undead) and PaRappa (historys greatest musician). So yeah, this is all canon lol

I believe the case with his powers is that they came from the gods, he even became one via Athena. Once he stabbed himself with the Blade of Olympus, he got them back but because he left his dying world, he lost them, however, he retained anything regarding his body like immortality, increased attributes and healing while Spartan Rage must be a respresentation of his divine nature and more anger= more strength.

[@localdude2979]

2:13 Kratos didnt told Atreus he killed Pandora's father, the blacksmith god Hephestus

[@jaywalton5236]

While I love the way they have Kratos tell the story of Calliope and Lysandra (even though they leave her out of it) I feel they missed a big punch. If he had finished the story the way they did and then a little later Kratos continues with something like "Vengeance against me will not wash away your guilt, look at my skin as a permanent reminder." It not only allows Kratos to use himself as an example of blind fury and rage gone too far, but vengeance the same. It also allows for Mimir and Freya to learn why he is white

[@sdl-lds]

💯 that would be the cherry on top of everything they already established. Man, wished they went thru with that explanation. Even with Atreus, I’m sure that conversation definitely happened explaining his white skin, woulda have been awesome.
