God of War Ragnarok- Hints and Details Tyr Secrets!

[@kyle1732]

The writing is so good! All they had to do was cloud my mind with “Tyr just wants peace” and that prevented me from seeing the truth.

[@nnightkingj]

It works because we were told he was a peaceful war God over a destructive one and had no reason to believe this was far off from his real personality

[@simonfarre4907]

@@nnightkingj yes but at the same time he was the god of war - though we are told that was the last thing he wanted, we are never told he was this "mockery" of wanting peace. The writing in Naughty Dog and Santa Monica studios are just unmatched in the games industry.

sadly some other aspects of the story were lacking, the thrud thor sif lore was bad, how casual it was just atreus talking to them and thrud accepting him. also ragnarok was just a city siege, and freyr kinda dying for no reason. etc

This!! I love stuff like that, that's not just script work, but down to the actors' and imitations of another. It's so subtle if you're not intimately familiar with most details in the game, and so interesting to see the second time around.

[@Sheenifier]

To be fair tho, the actual Ty'r only shows up post game and his whole demeanor is different. You'd never think these two were the same. But he still fooled the people who already knew him personally (Freya and Mimir)

[@killerkendro]

This! I only noticed after going back a rewatching these clips. He speaks the same as Odin. Friendly and trusting yet so manipulative

[@rottensquid]

didn't know the real Tyr appears in the post game. Another reason to keep playing.

[@milacruz3970]

Yees! I can totally hear Odin's voice saying those exact things. Amazing.

[@billsutherby]

There is another huge hint you didn't mention. The first time Atreus goes to Asgard and is walking around with Odin, Odin let's a big hint slip on accident. He tells Atreus at one point during their walk that "At least Mimir hasn't lost his sense of humor." This line implies Odin has been spending time recently with Mimir. The only time we've seen Odin and Mimir interact recently is at the very beginning when he and Thor came to "talk." But in that scene, Mimir was angry and hostile with Odin; he never made jokes or anything. So Odin bringing up Mimir's sense of humor reveals that Odin has been Tyr and spending time with Mimir at Sindri's house; where Mimir would be relaxed and act more like himself (joking, telling stories, etc...)

[@DiobeticDaily]

I like what your thinking but hes deff talking about visiting the house and mimir being a dick lol

[@ShadowJCreed]

One of his lines before that also I feel was a hint, “Well he hasn’t exactly got a good perspective with my former employee and ex-wife in his ear” Not the exact quote but Atreus only went to Asgard right when Freya moved into Brok and Sindri’s House. Kratos did spend plenty of time with Freya in the last game but with that little detail definitely felt off with me that he mentioned Freya

[@Ucj334esd]

Honestly that wasn't such a big tell, given the fact that Mimir Immediately went hard on him when he visited their home, So we're kinda mislead to believe he was referring to this moment.

[@latelate1000]

Odin is known for using ravens as his spies to find out what happens in the Nine Realms and he is also spoken of as a god that wants to know everything, so these hints don't actually hint at Odin being Tyr but can simply be a nod towards Odin knowing a lot.

[@pfili9306]

Odin also had plenty of time to talk with Atreus and Mimir when Kratos was fighting with Thor.

[@caseyminnick7967]

I think that the reason that Artreus is teleported outside Asgard and forced to climb the wall is to buy some time for Odin to teleport back when it's not suspicious.

[@chriscain2468]

That actually makes a lot of sense when you think of it.

[@Brixujel_Rimulex]

Good eye! Thats clever writing paired with meaningful gameplay

[@nicolasjaime5392]

That, and also so he could have atreus meet up with Heimdall so he could later undo the tension between the two, making him seem like the good guy who prevented heimdall from killing him

[@riopark5274]

i thought it was to make atreus meet heimdall, who odin knows is an asshole, so that when odin comes in and resolves the conflict, he makes himself look better in front of atreus.

[@atticus999x]

Also worth noting that when Atreus comes back the time after unleashing Garm. The group is battling Hel Walkers. “Tyr” comes out at the last second, probably bc it took Odin some time to get back after JUST talking to Atreus about the whole situation in Asgard.

[@JewJon08]

Tf lol, it's too common to write about he also uses " we must be better on kratos too" all game its obivous as .....ck I wonder how these people even completed the game , must have seen lot of tutorials on YT

[@georgethomas4567]

The 4 biggest hints to me after re-playing were. 1. When the group learns that Goa hid the true prophecy. Odin's pure shock and horror to realize all the preparations mean nothing. And the outbursts of anger he has towards Atreus and Kratos. 2. If you go back to the "cell" we rescued him from. There's tons of raven feathers covering the floor. 3. The way he tries to stroke Atreus' ego after they learn he's the champion of the Giants. 4. And I think this is the biggest tell. When Freya first enters Sindri's home he calls her Frigg. Which is stated by Mimir to be something that only Odin ever called her as a cute nickname. And not really a tell but the fact that Tyr this 10 foot tall god that towers over even Kratos fit himself in a broom closet just made me chuckle but realizing Odin just used the area to go back and forth between Sindri's home and Asgard makes a lot more sense than him curling up in a ball trying to fit LMAO

[@biohazardg1rl]

Wait the broom closet thing actually makes so much sense as I was wondering how Odin was able to travel back and forth without the others getting suspicious of him disappearing all the time

Sif I think says it during a random side conversation during one of the mask building missions.

[@addictedtochocolate920]

Saw a comment over here complaining about Brok being the only one who realized in the end what was happening, calling it the "lowest point" in the game, but i can't find it so I'm just gonna explain why that mindset is superficial and shallow. Brok is way smarter than most characters, and we see it multiple times throughout the story: when Mimir fails to understand one simple riddle he makes, expecting a complicated answer; when he teaches both Kratos and Mimir about the essence of things and dwarven magic, and when he says the existence or destiny is irrelevant for him because he gets to choose his actions. He is not a dumb character; he is a simple character that doesn't let other's knowledge or perception dictate what he thinks. That's why even if everyone respects Tyr and believes his BS, Brok does not; he doesn't care who he is, all he cares about is he's not making sense at all.

[@ВладиславБулаев-л3э]

Týr's nature didn't live up to his form.

[@shahtayyib]

I believe Brok is Kratos' favourite after Atreus too. Though he grows more fond of everyone in Ragnarok, he grows particularly more fond of Brok even going out of his way to express it.

[@Starkiller5121]

Also Brok foreshadowed it a bit when he and Kratos went to get the Draupnir Spear. The nature of a thing is more important than the form a thing. Tyr/Odin's nature didn't match with Tyrs real form, so it makes sense for him to be suspect.

[@stefvanroey8191]

Also Odin has deceived both Mimir and Freya in the past, kinda makes sense he can do so again

[@RacingSnails64]

The payoff to Brok being the one to figure it out is immediate. Odin says, "Of all the things..." A simple dwarf blacksmith ruining the plan of the All-Father, King of the Aesir? It's poetic justice, it's pride before the fall...it's a lot of things!

[@MultiCP9]

Another small hint I noticed: In Alfheim, when Atreus mentions they killed the Dark Elf King, "Tyr" mentions wondering what happened to him. He should have no way of possibly knowing the king even went off the radar. Also, the way he gets in Sindri's face upon finding out that they took Draupnir is a pretty big one.

[@jasonnewbery]

[@mgoblue9389]

I feel like I haven’t seen anyone point this out: When “Tyr” is dragging the Elf, he proclaims “there’s always a choice!” So when Atreus says that to Odin in the end, he learned it from the very man himself Using his own line against him unknowingly

One thing I noticed is that mimir states Odin finds it difficult to turn down a challenge in his story about the Asgardian wall. When Brok tells “tyr” to try making food he accepts without hesitation, seeing it as a challenge and slamming down on the table. Along with that (as many people have pointed out) he used vegetables in the soup, Odin wouldn’t normally do this but since he was challenged and didn’t want to lose, he acted carelessly. “Tyr” also begins to become more agitated with brok near the end when he calls his food “passable dirt soup”, seeing it as Brok saying he underperformed in the challenge.

In addition to all these specific moments, I think there were subtle hints in the way he acted throughout the game. Tyr always seemed preachy, annoying, cowardly, and impractical with his pacifism. After the twist, that makes perfect sense: it's because that's what Odin thinks pacifism is. Even though Odin's a master manipulator, he couldn't convincingly imitate Tyr's pacifism because he doesn't understand it.

You know a twist is fuckin great when you go back and feel SOOO dumb for not seeing it coming but it surprised you all the same.

[@JadeLeaf1980]

Another clue : the others all had their obvious space in Sindri’s home and ALL were accessible when at Sindri’s home, but “Tyr” was often hiding in a locked closet. During those times he wasn’t around, you couldn’t even interact with the door of said closet, you couldn’t hear him speak, move. Etc. I think Freya complains he’s suffering something like anxiety or ptsd to excuse how he’s hiding. He wasn’t there. He can’t be in two places in once so he would go to the closet, lock himself there then transport in and out as needed - none of them would notice. Anyone talking to the closet would think he was ignoring them or sleeping.

[@Cylon13]

While playing the game and considering Odin being Tyr, the thought of him moving around so much was the biggest thing that cast doubt in my mind. But it just made too much sense for him to have been Tyr

[@3max_well376]

When you first visit Asgard as Atreus, there’s a brief scene where Odin walks past a guy eating chicken and vegetables. He says “Oh that looks good, is that braised?” This could imply that Odin knows a thing or two about cooking, and is passionate about food. While he’s disguised as Tyr in Sindri’s house, you can always find him making dinner for the other characters. Maybe that wasn’t foreshadowing, and I’m just overthinking it. I just thought that was interesting.

For example, most of us thought Tyr was a "badass pacifist" who just wanted peace, while smarter players thought he was a spy for Odin. But no one guessed Tyr WAS Odin, while the real Tyr was still locked away somewhere (not dead). Another example: Everyone expected Odin to be a cliche villain who has an intimidating dimeanor and laughs with an evil laugh, but instead he's just a down-to-earth guy who speaks like any ordinary person, making him _truly_ manipulative because actual manipulative people don't sound like Thanos, or Palpatine, or Voldemort, or Firelord Ozai. They sound like your friend or neighbor or co-worker. Another example is Freya. After Freya becomes a Valkyrie queen, frees herself from Odin's curse, forgives Kratos, reconciles with her brother, and liberates her homeland from the Aesir, Kratos encourages her to lead the assault on Asgard. We all expected her to take on the challenge and further develop her leadership arc, but she instead refuses the position and asks that Kratos lead the assault because he has extensive experience as a war general. Then you have Thor, whose body isn't at all like that of Chris Hemsworth, but more like that of Kevin James. You also have Thrud, who doesn't fit the skinny girl archetype that most female characters in video games and movies do, but actually takes from her father by being slightly heavyset. You also have Mimir. You think he's just another wise and lovable comic relief guy, but there's also instances where you're angry with him or question his virtues. For example, his bondage of the whale and his mediation of Freya's unhappy marriage. Finally you have Sindri. Another lovable character you'd never expect to turn so cold. Things like that. The creativity in how the characters in GOW are written is what makes them feel so real and memorable as opposed to, say, the characters of Assassin's Creed Valhalla which feel so stale and predictable by comparison. Kudos to Santa Monica studios!

Going through the story of god of war ragnarok the first time around, it's a surprise to find out that Odin was disguised as Tyr, but looking back at the hints after the story is over, it seemed so obvious that Odin was disguised as Tyr the entire time.

@@symbiotezilla12345 The best part about that is, it logically made sense beforehand. We know the realm of the dwarves is subservient to Odin and Asgard, it was spelled out pretty heavily the whole time.

Came into this game with False Tyr’stwist already spoiled for me, so I knew what was coming, but I had no knowledge of the script. All the hints are so well buried into the story, it’s really impressive. I also love how “Tyr” says he chose his words carelessly when they were very deliberate.

[@chrissizemore8705]

It's such brilliant writing. I never saw it coming but once I went back and put the pieces together, it all fit perfectly. I read something yesterday about Odin's lust for power and control being his downfall. He had to be in control. And as soon as Brok exposed him, he lost it. If he hadn't killed Brok, he'd still be alive. Atreus, Kratos, and Freya all decided to let him live. It was Sindri who killed him as vengeance for Brok. The writers of this game should be given all the awards. Brilliant.

[@FreeMan-uv5kc]

Remember Brok found out his "sould bits" were dead because he couldn't talk to the mermaid, then at the end of the game Sindri killed Odin's soul. That' a parallel.

It's crazy knowing that Odin was Tyr all along and starting NG+. Rewatching these cutscenes now you can pick up on subtle things that hint at his identity. My first playthrough I had no idea though 😂.

He’s also always shown as standing or emerging from the dark/shadows and shown from a low camera angle which makes him appear larger and more intimidating. This is frequently used by filmmakers and creates a contrast between him and the other characters while also creating an unsettling or “off” feeling when he is shown.

He never showed up until there was a cutscene and he would just appear mysteriously from off screen. I just assumed he had shut himself in the broom cupboard but it makes sense now that he wasn't actually there because he was off doing Odin stuff, using the raven in the cupboard as a discreet way to travel back and forth

[@TheAesirGod246]

There’s a few others. Like when after Atreus leaves and tyr says ‘the boy seems quite capable perhaps if you simply give him some time’ an obvious attempt for more time to complete the mask. And when Atreus wants to go back to Asgard. Tyr tries to persuade he’s at risk anyway. And he even projects himself by saying. ‘It would give us a pair of eyes in the enemy inner sanctum.

It said that Tyr is going to lead the War against Asguard but he never did he was in a Prison for the Entire Game. I believe that instead of it being Tyr the Board was giving a more broad of an answer and instead of it being Tyr it would be a God of War. So Odin tried preventing it but another God of War interjected to continue the Prophecy that being Kraros. So imagine the shock that Odin hiding in plain sight of Tyr still seeing the Prophecy is the same because he didn't count Kratos being the God of War that would Substitute The Fate.

[@arorajivlogs1641]

makes sense like in original series as well, Kratos was a replacement in case of another prophecy.

[@muffinman5890]

Or, in my point of view, "Tyr" still led the war. Although he was in prison, the characters were moved by the real Tyr's memory and Odin being discovered as Tyr, because the group attacked following the reveal. Basically, TYR the god never led them, but Odin as Tyr did, and the prophecy never really said he had to be on the battlefield, let alone actually there. It only showed his body.

[@stefvanroey8191]

Also theres a little moment before you get the spear to kill Heimdall where they admit they stole Draupnir.

Sindri almost bumps into him and sorta looks up at Tyr and he's gazing back with pure anger.

I started questioning Tyr from the start bc he was like I’m all about peace and don’t want no war but encouraging Artreus to follow his prophecy when that leads to war

[@davidm9612]

I had a feeling that Tyr wasn't to be trusted not long after rescuing him, around when he says to Freya "So, you're not here to prevent Ragnarok?", but I thought it would be more along the lines of Odin having brainwashed and gaslighted him into trying to prevent Ragnarok at any cost. I did not expect Tyr to actually BE Odin, and I did not expect it to end with Brok's death. That indulgence of my expectations whilst also subverting them was something I was not ready for at all. Hats off to the writers for that one.

[@davidm9612]

I didn't pick up on #6.. wow... That one was so obvious, and I still completely missed it, despite already not trusting Tyr

[@joelyt1682]

I think in 7:09 “Tyr” slipped because he somehow defended Odin by saying he only wanted “peace” even though the real Týr would absolutely know that Odin cannot be trusted in his promises as pointed out by Freya.

[@zibranshamim3961]

what really got me was that shock and realization that Odin was always there. In most of the previous games most bad guys don't feel like a big threat cz you know Kratos will wreck anyone in his way but with the question of how Kratos's fate will play out and how Odin was set up really made him feel like an actual God of War villain since Zeus in the second game.

[@Husteen]

Was there ever a time that freya had suspicions about Tyr? Especially after completing her companion quest, and finding out her time with Odin was so miserable for her and their marriage led her people to hate her, it would have been cool if there was a dialogue from freya about Tyr not seeming the same, reminding her of someone, having an uneasy feeling around him, etc. She had some close contact with Odin, so she should have noticed something.

[@curllum]

That would be cool, but I feel like such a line would raise speculation too early. I feel like a different cadence or facial expression in the way she speaks after tyr says something suspicious would work, however. Still make the plot twist feel out of nowhere and unfounded

[@Pressah]

I noticed something was off with the first one during Groa’s prophecy, everyone’s talks about how he bumped Atreus I didn’t notice that till I saw other videos bring it up but it was his anger toward the prophecy, i understand that he’s a god that looks for reasoning and not war, but It just seemed like a personal anger when you get lied to that’s what got me thinking something isn’t right about Tyr.

[@Iceman5506]

I started replaying this game yesterday cause I bought the ps5 version and I thought something. Tyr is a giant. But he didn’t knew that the Jotnar shrines had secret passages that revealed the true prophecy. Now I don’t know if all the giants have access to this information, since Angrboda said that not all of them can see visions, but come on, HES THE GOD OF WAR THAT STOOD UP TO ODIN. AND A GIANT. He should have been the first to know about the hidden passages in the shrines.

[@llMurcielagoll]

For me the most important and obvious tell was the "Deal with Odin" It went over my head and it was one of those "Hidden in plain sight things" the game is so good that it distracted me from that fact. I never thought for a second in my play through "wwaaaiiittt a minute.. How'd he know about that?!"

[@ivanhunter6492]

[@garrettjackson1451]

Another hint is that “Tyr” was frustrated that the huldra brothers took back Draupnir. The real Tyr likely wouldn’t have cared about that and would be more interested on how the dwarves can make a weapon from a ring. I think Tyr always admired dwarves ingenuity and wanted to loosing Orin’s grip on their realm but failed or couldn’t do much.

[@tysimpso1448]

There are also three details that could also clue you in on Tyr's true identity. One was when Tyr stood in from on those spears in the Jothun shrine. Then later Odin talks to Kratos and walks over to spears. There's when Tyr called a spear that was offered to him a walking stick. Odin later uses his spear as walking stick. And lastly Brok brings up the fact that Tyr's stew has vegetables in it. While this could just mean Sindr stocked some fruits and vegetables. Asgard is the corner stone for most vegetable and fruit exports as mentioned by Mimir. So it's likely he either just like vegetables or brought them from Asgard. Those are some details i noticed.
