It's touching to think that despite his ultimate betrayal, Hephaestus' sacrifice in the defence of his daughter left such an impact on Kratos that he would later pass the story of the smith god down to his son, many years later.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

I have a strong feeling that Hephaestus was the only god Kratos felt remorse for killing. He trusted him with his word about the Flame, he never approached him with hostility and actually had a conversation with him, Kratos did not kill him out of revenge but in self defense, he then said to Pandora he understood why he tried to kill him (he wanted to protect his daughter). He didn't even try to kill him after he knowingly sent Kratos to fight Cronos. They both share similar traits, they were both fathers, both had their status as gods stripped, and truly lost everything. I guarantee Kratos genuinely feels bad for killing Hephaestus Edit: After 3 years of posting this, Ragnarok confirmed I was right

[@kakashikage9483]

I feel so bad for Hephaestus. His wife cheats on him all the time, and yet he still loves her and holds out hope she’ll come see him. He was so excited when Keaton used the portal because he thought it was her coming to see him again after centuries. All he had was his daughter, Pandora, & Zeus took her from him after beating him down & torturing him. Then, after he fails to save Pandora from Kratos, he dies, begging him to spare her. It’s so sad. He was literally one of the very few gods that did not deserve to die. The only other main one I can think of off the top of my head is Prometheus.

[@deadknight1402]

I'm certain Prometheus was more of a mercy killing.

[@guardianoftheunderworld]

Prometheus has been helping human beings by giving them Olympus flames. But this action was Zeus considering him a crime and a supreme betrayal. And so the king of the gods imprisoned him and turned him into a mortal and made a cursed bird come to him every day and eat a brometheus liver but he is in the nightfall of his body regenerates. than it has the brutal suffering

[@Charcoaledmarmalade]

[@exursix]

wait didnt prometheus literally go and just "kratos please fucking burn me alive" at the time? im pretty sure it was more than just a mercy killing

[@guardianoftheunderworld]

Prometheus was suffering day after day without stopping. Because this was his eternal torment. Because he was tired of living his life with this horrible way. For that he decided to end his life and also the torment he was suffering with the help of someone like Kratos. This might be the least act of mercy killing

Pretty sure the entire reason he gives him the weapon first was so the electricity could course through kratos. Kind of obvious honestly. Why bother trying to kill him? Desperation i'd assume. Kratos already had his doubts after being sent to tartarus and Heph's sudden shift to wanting to help kratos before was pretty suspicious to begin with. I doubt Kratos would have spared him by the end even if hephaestus didn't try to kill him.

Yeah he wanted to kill Zeus and that means finding Pandora but he later on found her to resemble his daughter and didn’t want her to go in the box. Hephaestus knew what Kratos was capable of and yet he went and risked his life for nothing. He also wasted a stone to create a weapon and then try to kill him after crafting it.

He was evil. People tend to forget he slaughtered many innocents, both as a mortal and a god. Way more undeserving than those who were. He was also so single minded he destroyed the world in his quest to kill Zeus with the only thing left being the power of Hope to survive (which let’s be honest, is pretty useless in an apocalyptic scenario shown in GoW 3). That’s why I love GoW 4 so much. He is carrying a burden on his conscience heavier than he ever had before, and instead of fleeing his guilt like in the past, he’s attempting to amend for his mistakes.

[@livinglegend9709]

@@thelouster5815 He wasn't as evil as some people make him out to be. I can agree with you on god of war 2 and 3, those games kratos was more of a bad guy than good. Now for ascension to ghost, he was just a guy trying to fix and amend for what he has done

Even the fates say he needed to go through trials or blood trials to become what ares wanted him to be. As soon as the deal happens kratos was just a "pawn in a game he didn't know was being played". His wife did oppose him and that was before he made the deal which at that point he was doing it for Sparta which was something he was raised to do and was common back in the day. Now I'm not saying he wasn't doing anything bad I'm just saying that back then it was common for a general to do those things. and he was raised in Sparta?!

[@faded9581]

Well they seem to be leaning into other aspects of the mythology, like Hephastus being conventionally unattactative, which was unheard of for Olympians, and that is why Zeus paired Aphrodite with him. Zeus wanted someone who wouldn't...overstimulate Aphrodite's...fertility. Because too many gods are a threat to him.

Yeah too bad Cory barlog didn't direct this. They didn't have to kill him

[@gabrielevalentinopanittisu3252]

I think he would’ve died anyway seeing as the Underworld being destroyed and Gaia trampled the rest of Olympus, add to the fact the he couldn’t escape from his prison

[@vincentvorse]

Me: Hephaestus, was it really necessary for you to make Kratos a set of weapons before trying to kill him? Hephaestus: Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No but I do it anyway cause it's sterile and I like the taste

[@TheKlyde234]

Mr. Handel-Bar he made those weapons to be a conduit for his lightning attack.

[@yadfaraidoon9977]

Urine isn’t sterile...

[@5stararson]

The sound of haphaestus's last breath. Sends chills down my spine.

[@tonywizdard1531]

Hephaestus didn’t deserve to die here. Just wanted to save his daughter.

[@alexpainter4169]

Normally, I wouldn’t even shed a tear when the Greek Gods are brutally murdered but Hephaestus is the only Olympian in the God of War series i feel sympathy for. All he wants is his daughter back from his cruel father, there are very few stories more tragic then that.

[@Bald_Menace]

Hephaestus: ''Kratos?" Kratos:"You sent me to my death!" MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SCENE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MigrantTheGreat]

Hesphestas: I thought Zeus would have killed you by now Kratos: I thought you would have escaped this cavern by now I know that had to sting

[@FullCaber]

Man i feel sorry for this guy

[@actionfigurescollectionssu7854]

FullCaber he is not a guy he is a god

[@superzilla784]

Isn't weird how all the gods are gigantic, Ares, Hades, Hephaestus, but Zeus is the only one who's as tall as Kratos? did he make himself that small to have be on even footing with Kratos? or is Zeus secretly the shortest of the gods?

[@Luminus2]

Hermes and Helios aren't that big either. Poseidon as well.

[@MrCompassionate01]

Zeus used to be able to change size to make himself gigantic as seen in GOW2 but I think he lost that power after Kratos ran him through with the Blade of Olympus.

[@4godand4thegays73]

Actually as depicted in the mythology the gods are giant benevolent beings. If they reveal their true selves to mortals they'll die from their aura of glory. Their power is so great they emit a glorious aura. That's why zeus hides himself in mortal form whenever he cheats on hera

[@asdfghjklzxcvbnm6874]

remember the final fight against zeus in GOW 2, he is fucking huge, so I think the gods can alter their own size, and @ the beginning of GOW 2, kratos is gigantic as well before he tricked by zeus, cmiiw

[@LuxBellator92]

The gods can willingly change their size and form if they're powerful enough. The final boss battle with Zeus at the end of the God of War II proves this. Zeus alternates between mortal size and huge imposing Olympian god size.

[@RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X]

4:20 one of my favorite moments of the game.

[@69horace69]

Rip Tom (who voiced Hephaestus) voiced Zeus in the animated movie "Hercules".

God of Savagery.

[@tarena397]

7:34, 7:37 Hephaestus got so tired of Kratos' logic that he agreed with Kratos P.S. I believe he did that coz he realised that he cannot change Kratos' way about Pandora, so he decided to play smart and send him to Kronos to get Kratos killed

[@CaptainMcToasty]

Man this game was a such a masterpiece.

[@ryandiggs750]

RIP to Rip Torn he did good in movies and video games

[@user-tu2gk4xj2i]

Hephaestus is voiced by Rip Torn, who ironically voiced Zeus in Disney's Hercules.

[@OXGC413]

Amazing

[@eliottdeletraz97]

4:57 that phrase is a reference of the greek legend of Aphrodite. She was supposed to be the wife of Hephaestus, but she secretly had sexual relations with Ares. so, when he said "has Aphrodite conquered antoher god of war ?", that is directly related to that legend.

[@lvsqsd6897]

8:19 you can see Cronos nose and lips.

[@KhepriProductions2022]

They are related after all.

[@phillipwalling7470]

Even that Blue spike thingy lodged into his jaw.

[@sithslime]

I never realized that cronos was behind the smith after you killed him. Neat detailing.

[@abubakarhajj750]

Kratos: that is your question you should ask your wife

[@JacOfAllTrades.]

7:59 the correct answer was “the retribution you seek”, Hephaestus.

Calm yourself, smith god.

When Kratos said: I did what had to be done . I felt that 😂

Hephaestus: "Well, as long if it's only one Olympian!" Hephaestus: XD Kratos: "I seek the Flame of Olympus. Do you know of it?" Hephaestus: °___°

[@iknowwhojoeis]

Fun fact: The voice actor who played Hephaestus also played Zues in Hercules (rip torn)

[@adityaarvian9887]

I just realized at 8:10 Hephaestus is examining dead Cronos' face, right after Kratos killed him. Hephaestus must've thought "damn is this Cronos? Kratos sure is a tough man to kill". Pretty cool.

[@mr.raslyon6626]

He's the only god I killed that I felt bad for. Rip Torn did an excellent job with this role!

[@firetools]

Wonder what Brok and Sindri would've thought of Hephaestus?

[@connorhilchie2779]

Brok would roast him 24/7 and Sindri would be cleaning him through out the whole game.

[@vlad_47]

They would worship him.

[@KTA1sVidsandFacts]

"I have done you no wrong Hephaestus!" You literary just slept with his wife. Edit: If I remember correctly Kratos can choose not to be an asshole and not sleep with Aphrodite. But let's be honest, most people did.

Hephaestus and aphrodite already divorced and he remarried to aglaia goddess of Beauty and glory and in some myths hephaestus and aphrodite never married

[@hawaiianblanka5534]

I felt bad for Hephaestus. Beaten, lost his wife, his daughter taken away and lived in hell shunned by his own kin. You can tell Kratos felt no grudge against him but in the end he felt betrayed and had to do what he needed to be done. I honestly wish he could’ve been spared.

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

beautiful.. i loved this game.. it was not easy, but satisfying to play through

[@The_Nailsmith]

This is the only god I felt bad for

[@ramannonstoping9820]

Hephaestus is the only god I felt sympathetic for and actually quite liked. He is the only god in my opinion that has a backstory that I makes you feel for the character. The story makes Hephaestus seem like a good guy. You can see that he does care for his daughter and loves her. And yeah him trying to kill Kratos was kinda dumb but he was just trying to protect his daughter. He couldn’t have stood by and let Kratos kill his daughter

[@Caveman90210559]

its why Kratos doesnt hold any grudge against Hephaestus for trying to kill him since being a father himself at one point, he understands why he tried. if he was in Hephaestus position & found out somebodys trying to kill his daughter to further his own gain, he woulda tried to do the same
