God of War Ragnarök | Kratos talks about his past to Freya and Mimir |

Kratos shares about his life in Sparta, about his wife and daughter and how he defeated sisters of fate and overcame death to defeat Zeus.
Taking place three years following the events of the previous game, Fimbulwinter, a great winter that spans three summers, is drawing to a close which will begin the prophesied Ragnarök. Kratos and his teenage son Atreus begin to traverse the nine realms to seek out a means to prevent Ragnarök while attempting to uncover answers behind Atreus' identity as Loki. Their journey will lead them to Týr, the Norse God of War who was previously believed to be dead. Their conflict will lie with Thor, the Norse God of Thunder who seeks revenge following the deaths of his half-brother Baldur and two sons Modi and Magni; Odin, Thor's father and King of the Norse Gods; and ally-turned-enemy Freya, who seeks revenge following the death of her son Baldur.

I think it is more a case of exclusive control with the Greek Gods, who imprisoned the Titans and ruled uncontested in a single Realm, shaping and controlling it much more than the Norse Pantheon. We saw what happened when Poseidon, Hades, Hera and other gods died, that the area they controlled ran amok, changing rapidly, which is also why Kratos took over for Ares, someone had to be the God of War.

Olympian gods is a power house, they take and control of everything. Underworld, Sea and Mortal even Sister of Fate. Their weaponary was so powerful and Their magic more into destructive concept. Their Civilization was too advance. Their army trained grimly. It show how crazy Zeus over a Power Meanwhile Odin try to take control over the 9 realm by trickery and genocide. Sadly for Asgardian they have rivalry. The Giant and Vanaheim can rivalry them. They have control over mortal but not a full control over them. Like a Dwarv that still can show resistance to them. Elf with their never ending racist war. Human that worship vanier god sadly they dead over Thor fighting a Giant. The Human were left too barbaric and seem cant build their own civilization. Also Asgardian not united like how Olympian did. It's all just about Odin agenda. And Odin more into Knowledge than anything.

Also, when they had their first period, thy would have sex with a slave under the supervision of their mothers to make good wives to their husbands, and to seeif they were fertile (the baby was killed after they were born, to avoid getting mixed with true spartan children. Spartans were very into eugenics.). On the bright side, upon becoming adults, spartan women had most of the same rights as the men, including voting and choosing their spouses, the only exception being joining the army. Also, unlike most of Greece at the time, if a spartan woman was beaten/abused/raped, the one responsable would definetly get the chopping, as appose to say Athens, where maybe the fucker would be arrested if the guards cared enough, but most would just shrugg.

Some folks tend to forget the names and faces if it’s long or something in the mind preventing to remember, but Kratos still recalls well. That and the fact that the last time he had seen her physically was back at the Elysium but he has to leave to save the realm from Persephone, though at the cost of separating and leaving her behind. While he is tough on Loki, and compared to what he had endured as a child, he was pretty soft on the lad especially as being a former Spartan.

I wish he told Freya that his family’s ashes are still on his body, that would have hit freya like a truck.

[@RGMRT]

"You think you can even understand how it felt losing a child?" Bish that's her daughter on his skin, its how sorrowful he was.

[@Jackthat1]

Every time Kratos even hints at his past every shuts up and listens, it’s so funny.

[@SuperArtisticGamer]

Seeing kratos become a grizzled veteran is so badass

[@geekymetalhead5112]

Freya.....let's step back and think. The man in front of you that after being abused, killed, and taken advantage of by God's he considered family *him being a son of Zeus helped in the power department* on top of that, fought a primordial titan or 2, who are arguably more powerful than the gods.....KILLED them. You're lucky he even let you put a blade to his neck when not looking. As much as I love the story and progression, JFC they keep forgetting how dangerous he TRULY is 😂😤

[@Two_Cents54]

I love hearing Kratos casually say, "When I challenged them, they threatened to erase my existence. So I killed them and turned their power against Zeus."

[@pepethefrog6809]

These are the small things that I love about this game. Especially, if you played all the GoW games, you can feel nostalgic about it when Kratos tells his story to the inhabitants of Midgard. EDIT: I'm surprised he didn't mention that his ashen-white skin is due to the fact that the gods bound her dead wife and daughter's ashes to his skin, to remind him of that day for as long as he lives. But that would probably shatter poor Freya's heart. LOL

[@Wolf10media]

Kratos: Freya, this is a discussion over mead. Freya: indeed, skal.

[@robertgomez8316]

Respect for Kratos he managed to 1 up her In every argument

[@translator-kun]

Freya: did you know the pain of losing a child Kratos: yeah... About that

[@iamthelonewolf]

Freya : know my pain Kratos : know the ashes of my skin.

[@StridingLuna]

I’m glad Kratos didn’t go more in-depth as to what happened with Calliope..

[@Nestix_the_stupid_one]

The way kratos talks in this game is so fucking metal. Hearing "that is how Spartans are made" gave me fucking shivers. This man has been through so much...

[@voltnation3339]

Freya will never know what it feels like to have to been betrayed and tricked into killing your own wife and child.

[@ritchierich2793]

Lmfao, kratos just teach how privileged freya was compared to people in Sparta... Man liked "bitch you think thats bad, back home we whipped the kids from dawn till dusk"

[@lynxfang3352]

Honestly I'm glad that they continue to talk about the past games in this one. How Freya hit that nerve about Calliope without knowing, and his wife Lysandra, and his brother Deimos. Honestly I feel like Kratos and Freya would do great as a team in future games. I know they didn't incorporate her because they just didn't think about it, but I'd love to see Circe make an appearance possibly in Egypt and have her be like an advisor to the pharaoh who battles Kratos because of the death of Helios. A nice throwback in the new game while he's also facing off against the Egyptian Gods. Or do a battle of the Sorceresses Freya vs Circe would be AMAZING especially if it ended with Freya reasoning Circe out of her rage *spoiler ahead* like Kratos did Thor before Odin offed him

[@abeliniguez9705]

I loved it when they mentioned him being the Ghost of Sparta

[@BigMoneyFantastic1738]

It's so interesting to hear kratos talk about his past considering we know it all and most of us were there when it happened

[@cardinalchaos2278]

The mention of Calliope instantly made me think of Chains of Olympus. Kratos fought the Furies, brought down Cyclopses with ease, fought through hell and back. But when it came to having to push his daughter away to ensure she would continue to exist in paradise. I never seen him struggle more than ever before.

[@ygui7558]

3:17 Kratos little breath while shes ranting. Hes fed up with all her rants 😆😆😆

[@marcusthompson3908]

Freya: I watched my mother burn alive Kratos: I ate my mother...

[@andiqalfizaputra5987]

Mimir : Emotional Damage!!!

[@ital9415]

It is FUNNY how their conversation turns into a competition like who's got a painful life, who suffered most and in the end KRATOS claps by telling another PAINFUL TRUTH and She be like dammit!!!!!!!😂😂

[@W1ckedshort]

"Her name was Calliope." Never has Kratos' agony and grief been more perfectly described in a single line.

[@stephenyocogco7991]

Hahaha when kratos said " Every outcome would be defeat" he knows he can kill Freya anytime he wants. Cause he is much more skilled than Freya I notice everytime Freya tries to kill kratos can destroy her with one move.

[@quakegaming4682]

He can defeat Freya for sure, he's holding back But by this he means that:- 1) if kratos kills freya then he'll lose a friend so that will be counted as a defeat 2) if freya kills kratos then ofcourse that'll be a defeat too

[@edwardjohnpadilla4957]

PRESS "O" rapidly

[@troyhamilton3218]

Kratos’ story about his younger brother Deimos was sad. Kratos and Freya are the same because the gods had taken away their family and broken them, but they have shown that the power of love is one thing that can never be defeated.

[@godlypotat0237]

And those are only the bite sized and summarized bits of his story. I feel like Freya would've been disturbed if she found out how Kratos got his ghostly pale skin.

[@leonardferguson23]

Love hearing Christopher judge talk this game is amazing

[@aaroncabrera8949]

The fact that Greek gods manipulated power far greater than that in the Norse realm gives us much more reason to fear Kratos.

[@damifash758]

If Olympus declares war on Asgard Asgard is fucked The Greeks would would straight up murder

[@abdulazimnaushad]

Plus the Olympians can alter their size to Titan shape.

[@damifash758]

That is how Spartans are made!!! Kratos giving leonidas vibes

[@TheGodofwarkratos12]

It's cool how those from different mythologies have fascination for the other lol

[@ericchen776]

at the end kratos went full "i walked 10 miles to school everyday" on freya lol

[@prodi16]

Freya: as kids we played hide and seek, had honeymead before bed Kratos: was beat up to a pulp daily and had fresh wolf for dinner, just had to beat it with my hands truly nostalgic...

[@abdulazimnaushad]

Yes compared to Freya Kratos had an awful childhood and it was bad luck he was born in Sparta, known for making brutal and merciless soldiers.

[@Jhoentak15]

Me : seeing the thumbnails. Also me : *feeling DeJavu

[@davidt6814]

Freya: do you know what it’s like to lose a child? Kratos: bitch I’m covered in my child and wife’s ashes….you think im naturally ashy white?
