It's a follow-up to the one about Hrungnir, the giant born with no head or heart, so they made him ones of stone.

[@coladict]

I recorded it the one time it happened to me, but since the PS4's internal video recorder craps itself all the time, there's a chunk of it missing. It's about how after the giant fell on Thor, nobody could lift the body from him, and while everyone gathered to think of a solution, Magni and Modi (still children at the time) came in and pushed it over. Magni got the credit, because he's blond, and Modi has been bitter for it ever since.

Disturbing fact, or fact of fiction I should say. That story with the giant who built a wall for Odin. In the actual mythology Loki was there as well and, once Odin realized he was going to lose his wadger, he tasked Loki with stopping the giant. Well forced really. He did this by becoming a female horse, which would lead the giant's own trusty steed away, and would make the giant lose. Of course here is how Loki managed to keep the steed away without it losing interest. Basically he had to let the stead impregnate him. His child would become the 8 legged horse that Odin himself would employ as his own noble steed. That's the actual mythology in a nutshell.

[@thesaturn5045]

when it came to that story I just had amused face, wondering how are they going to change it so it doesn't mention Loki

[@CollinMcLean]

Yeah, the walls were destroyed by the war between the Vanir and Aesir so the giant offered to rebuild them out of stones but in exchange he wanted Sol (the Sun), Mani (the Moon), and Freya. But the reason for the wager was partly Loki's fault... He convinced the gods to agree to the giant's terms, claiming the task would be impossible to finish in the allotted time... Honestly Loki could best be described as a god who embodies the characteristics of a sleezy used car salesman.

I wonder if the next god of war games will involve Kratos using these stories as knowledge to unleash ragnorok. The weakness for the walls of Asgard, maybe even clearing the way for Surtr the brave to destroy it all.

[@RicardoPerez-rz8pu]

I'd wonder if Surtur is going to appear on the next God of War and he and Kratos are going to be allies , if Jormungar is Kratos ally so can Surtur

[@FatalShotGG]

@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu No... I believe they will save it for the third game. They're definitely making a trilogy with this mythology just like they did with Greek.

[@Ace-tw6cr]

@@FatalShotGG it’s called Ragnorak tho, it has to be about Ragnorak.

[@khangle6872]

@@Ace-tw6cr given that loki has a lot of thing to do, his role as father of Jörmundgandr, Hel, and Fenrir alone is beyond the 3 years of fimbulwinter to pull off And given that time travel is at play here, i dont think the next game would be *simply* about ragnarök

[@Byuel]

@@khangle6872 oh, the next game will be ragnarok for sure

[@jadenpokemon8952]

So much new context for a lot of these story’s after ragnarok

[@spencercox7931]

"Goodfellows, they called us.." "Goodfellows" is a mobster movie. what's another mobster movie? The Godfather. who's the player character in this game? Kratos, the Greek GOD of war, and FATHER to Atreus. genius.

[@IsaiasMGPalafox]

Here in 2021 thinking, man it would’ve been absolutely hilarious, if SMS were to have named the sequel anything else other than Ragnarok. Mimir hypes it up so much in the first game, it’s almost exhausting. 🤣 Really breaks my heart knowing the game is delayed, & isn’t on track for a Winter 2021 release though. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll definitely b visiting the video regularly, to refresh my memory. 💯 Thanks. 🤲🏼🌹🤲🏼

[@middleborder]

The game was delayed because of Christopher Judge, the actor for Kratos. He had to have surgery on both his hips, one or both of his knees, and his back I believe. They went out of their way to delay the game so Chris could recover. That is abnormal for a studio to do, especially in that industry.

[@IntergalacticPirateRadio]

Throughout every story, Mimir's disdain for Odin as a person is both clear, and concise.

The more of Mimir's stories I hear, the more I am convinced God of War(2018) is somehow a treatise on Foreign Relations.

[@theModfatherGaming]

appreciate it as always!

[@zion6680]

The stories are fairly faithful. 17:43 That story is altered though, originally the giant mason asked for Freya's hand in marriage, and Loki foiled the wager by seducing the giant's horse while disguised as a mare himself.... Must be weird for Mimir to share that story with Atreus who is basically Loki lol... God of War's story is sketchy but a fun alternate take on the norse gods I guess lol.

[@iwu5737]

I think this story was suppose to add towards the next game, he says “I think there is something that could be exploited that she knows of” and it has to do with the walls, witch is crazy the amount of depth they are giving about the next game just by this one story.

[@zion6680]

@@iwu5737 That should be interesting.

@@zion6680 well they basically had to alter it considering that loki (probably the most important figure in north mythology) doesn't exist

[@kainepeterson6638]

So by Mimir being Robin Goodfellow, Puck as it were, that means his first king was Oberon, king of the Faeries. Who I played myself in production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Which means I have actively participated in God of War lore and somehow that’s absolutely hilarious to me.
