There are 2 more possibilities 1. He didn't die and just teleported away to save himself. Its kinda hinted that he can teleport when he does a Batman and suprises Odin by appearing behind him in the scene before the Muspelheim mission. 2. The devs didn't want his body hanging around during the boss fight.

[@xxiii262]

Good theory

[@Zoxxies]

No way, Thrud was right there. There’s no way thor would just teleport away when he got stabbed, Thrud was there and in danger, I don’t think he would leave simply because of Thrud.

9:25 you do not watch long enough. If you keep watching and look at the Hammer when Odin grabs it, those blue flakes are still around. I believe Giant magic put him in the Hammer. Remember how Thor puts mead on Mjölnir in the beginning of the game ? I think it is an extension of the Thunder God My theory is he actually went into Mjölnir when he died. The games have a theme of spirits being in weapons. We see his body diminish like Fenrirs unlike Baldur,Magni and Heimdell. We see many clues of the weapon “being alive” and Thrud also says “I’ll make you proud dad” before taking the hammer and flying off. What if this is them telling us that Thor is in the hammer and will help Thrud in her journey as a Shield Maiden. Ps. Would love some “DLC Theory” videos lol

7:39 Still, to this day, this scene is that well made that I can't figure it out what Athena truly meant by "Forgive me .. brother." On one hand, she may be referring to Kratos as "brother", so she showed empathy for Kratos' misery. On the other hand, that "brother" could mean Ares, so she is truly sorry for the fact that she stopped Ares from killing Kratos on the day Deimos was kidnapped. Also she may be sorry for aiding Kratos in killing Ares, because it seems Kratos is worse than Ares. The first time I heard this line, Ares came to my mind. For me, the "brother" being Ares just made much more sense in that context.

[@HitmanHimself]

Nice Thought, I always thought she was referring to kratos as brother and showing empathy for him. That brother could be for ares aswell but I also doubt she had any love for ares, tho Athena never hated Ares or wanted him dead(Until Ares attacked Athens in GoW1) but Ares always tried to defame her sister and didn't like her as Athena was Zeus' favourite child. But when ares became a nuisance to olympus and attacked her city, she tasked kratos to get rid of Ares. So I don't know who she was referring to.. can be either, i incline more on kratos just because the devs might be using that dialogue to indicate that Athena is Kratos' sister.. Now that u have thought about it being ares, even if game devs didn't intend it to ares initially they might change it and tell that in an interview lol, not eve kidding 😂

[@alexcogames636]

@@HitmanHimself I don't think Athena has any love for Ares too, she is "sorry" like "what Have I done? what have I made? A monster even worse than Ares was." It's about the better of 2 evils, "the lesser evil". Anyways, your point about devs showing that Athena is Kratos' sister and everything, I agree too. And the devs wont confirm or deny either of these situation for sure 😅, that is the beauty of the situation.

[@gurburgandr]

Kratos just like ares and Athena is the child of Zeus which make them half siblings

she probably meant it refering to kratos since... he is literally her brother. they are both zeus's children after all.

It is incredible how Kratos went from being merciless to being compassionate and able to find the heart in a heartless man who is Thor.

[@alc4528]

Did y’all like the 2nd battle with Thor? Sure it had some cool cutscenes but it was still just fought in the same circle. I thought baldur’s fight was amazing because we went flying everywhere and even climbed a giant, there were multiple areas we were fighting in. In my opinion we should’ve been climbing and jumping around the world serpent for the final battle.

[@williebeamen2x]

[@danieln3757]

I have the same opinion, it was underwhelming. The first Axe/Hammer hit split open the lake. In the second fight Thor jumps from the lodge with full strength at Kratos, the weapons collide but not much happens. And moments before he sent the snake back in time. No consistency

[@lonick1692]

[@GowSpeedrunsAndMemes]

Its a ps4 game…

[@RebornAsASquid]

The reason I love Thor so much is because I think that the way we see him in GOWR is similar to how Kratos probably was when he first met Faye and had Atreus. The conversation you listen in on at 3:46 seems like good evidence for this. And like Kratos, he did ultimately choose a better path when he had the right guidance.

[@jb6725]

I hope it ends the same way as it did with Faye with Thor as a friend from the higher plane

[@Goldscare]

Thor is now one of my favorite characters in the GOW franchise. If Santa Monica made a DLC for Thor's return, I'd buy it in a heart beat. He and Kratos could've been the perfect dad-bros; Once destroyers, now rebuilders.

[@chefboiardeeznutz9881]

Considering this higher existence place seems to span all of the worlds, makes me think that it doesnt necessarily matter which pantheon a god is dying or even the requirements, are limited to that plane of existence. I think you're theory is very strong and pretty well backed with the little info we do have.

[@azowzalfahimi385]

Thor is one of the best characters I have ever seen in a game .. Ryan Hurst did a great job .. I hope we could see him in future games more often

[@danasaeed9018]

I Didn't Want Thor To Die, I Liked Him A Lot In The Game. I Too Hope That He Is Still Alive Somehow.

[@OnlyAFoolsHope]

It makes sense that he ascended especially when u consider Odin spent his whole life trying to get there. He never realized it required a sacrifice when his whole life was ruling and using others for his own gain. So Thor gets to see and live what Odin couldn’t bc he was worthy. Its very poetic in a way.

[@boriquamoniqua]

Thanks for the shoutout Kuba! I do want to address the topic of whether or not you consider Thor's sacrifice a "selfless sacrifice" - here's an answer you can get behind: "Its a fair argument to say it wasn't really a sacrifice. It wasn't as straightforward as Athena's. But after his fight with Kratos, Kratos tells him, we must be better, for the sake of our children. In the end when he stands up against Odin, his change of heart, he died for Thrud & Sif, to be better, for the sake of his children. Remember what Brok said, it's not the "form" of a thing that matters, but the "nature" of a thing. His form was that of a Destroyer, but his nature, a man seeking forgiveness. (Its not the outside that matters, but whats on the inside) I think in the end, he changed his nature and it wasn't for him, but for his family. That's just the way I saw it anyways. The way he died and what happens to him was convincing enough for me."

[@username.exenotfound2943]

I hope thor returns in some form or another

[@xarxesmora9738]

I really like Thor so I hope he is in the higher plane

[@trentf4891]

I would eally enjoy a god of war with thor as the main character. Possibly telling his story of rage when killing the giants.

[@logicmeister1821]

Something interesting to note is that all the gods with a confirmed tie to the "Higher Plane" (Toth, Athena & Odin) are Gods of Wisdom, we also know there's something in there that "whisper's secrets", and we also know from interviews that it has a corrupting force. _What if it's actually a prison for an evil being trying to use intelligent deities to try and get out?_

[@Nick-4K]

I just beat this game. I was pretty disappointed when i didnt get to play as Kratos and team up with Thor to fight Odin. Kinda felt like they were setting up to it. Maybe Kratos will have to grab Thor from the underworld in the next one.

[@theangelgrey.]

And Odin is a wisdom God as well 🤯 They can definitely go somewhere with this 🔥

[@bmg6229]

Considering he was repented of his actions at the end and his Jotun heritage Maybe he isn't directly in the Higher plane, but his soul has been saved by his Hammer Mjolnir saved him, as he actually likes him, and protects him during the first battle and even during the Bar Fight against Ingrid Maybe Mjolnir is actually Thor at the end

[@theblackmanwholaughs6670]

Thor may be that giant blue figure in the background of that final mural panel... It could be him in ethereal form like Athena

[@Jaxvvs]

Cory said that gods who enter the higher plane are the ones who make selfless acts, which would be thor standing up to odin for his family and to protect them in which case he sacrficed himself for a reason other then himself. (my interpretation)

[@bryanbarton4907]

Not sure. But I’d like to see a twist on the next game. It would be cool to see Kratos on the defensive end to fight off another pantheon invading the Norse lands after Ragnarok. Could tie up some loose ends and be a unique twist in how these games usually play out. In that scenario I would like the Celtic gods to invade. Maybe this could be where Thor is brought back.

[@travisvanalst4698]

Why would other cultures gods invade?

[@jb6725]

Maybe now that Kratos' forever home is in the norse lands the next game could be us travelling to another mythology to save the norse lands and then coming back

[@Nuni4MVP]

I definitely noticed that as well when Thor died… he had a different death than everybody else’s & it was definitely eye opening

[@ArcaneMelodies82]

I would have loved to see a Kratos Thor team up. Also hope Freya and Mimir will continue to follow Kratos to the next God of war instalment as Battle companions. 🤔 perhaps even have Freya’s two daughters in the meantime. 💕 Gersemi and Hnoss

[@big.gib.4L]

I feel like in standing up to his father, and changing to be a better man, let alone a better God, Thor earned his way into our hearts and minds forever

[@andys2801]

I really want Thor to be still alive whether he’s in the higher plane of existence or teleported elsewhere. I could never hate him. It’s clear that Thor has been manipulated by Odin to not think and to just destroy. He’s broken like many of Odin’s children and followers. I wanted to see Thor just beat the living crap out of Odin. Note: we can find Thrud with Mjolnir in Alfheim.

[@tyx8898]

I believe his channel is called Wizzo, he’s had this same theory for a few weeks now. Keeps popping up on my feed

[@mctwist13]

I was under the expression that Thor went to Valhalla. But it’s very possible that since he didn’t technically die during his battle with Kratos then he may have been sent to Helheim.

[@scarygreenmonster4130]

YES!!! It begins!!!!! I’ve been waiting for something to give me hope!!

[@Caleberigby]

I totally thought this about the bodies so glad someone else noticed it

[@metal100k]

Kuba, do you think sindri will be able to forgive kratos and atreus? Will he be the vehicle by which the Norse saga ends, maybe involving something from the spark of the world? Sindri is incredibly talented and rightfully pissed at us for the death of brok. It makes me think he might be able to send us away for good and, in his eyes, get revenge. This could also work narratively if he separates us from atreus by making vengeance the reason for us 'losing' another child. It could be a way to force kratos into thinking about a bigger picture and thus lead into the higher plane of existence potentially. It could even force him to lash out again and bring back some of that old kratos rage in order to try and get back to midgard.

[@andrwblood9162]

I have to add that Athena was pretty much the same kind of a-hole were at the end of GoW3 as the Olympians were throughout the game. She wanted the power of hope to rule of mortals and seemingly rebuild Greece to her desires. Athena is written as being just like Zeus, and she's just physically ascended. That's a departure for her GoW1 and 2 depictions, but it's still similar to her GoW 2018 depiction. If one is ascended to this Higher Plain of Existence, it doesn't seem to make you a better person. So, you probably don't need to be a good person to get there.

[@VXLT101]

What if his soul pieces went into the hammer? He is part giant and might be susceptible to this sort of soul magic. This could explain why when Odin hits Thrud she doesn’t die, Thor protects his daughter. Just little bit of head cannon cause I’d like to see more Thor.

[@bluelightning555]

Athena died on Mount Olympus, the highest point in the Greek world and Faye was spread at the highest point in all the Norse Realms, so maybe Faye will go there... Also the ash effect looked similar to Thor and Athena's deaths.

[@VictorCastillo54]

Why does everyone forget that Thor is half Giant? The particle effect used on Thor's death is the same we saw when Kratos and Atreus spread Faye's ashes, and at the end of the dream Kratos has when he is on a boat with Faye and baby Atreus. Maybe it's just the way they use to symbolize the death of a Giant.

[@sir_vaughn2018]

Yea and his soul likely still exists

[@slidingcatch]

good point, but if thor is half giant, then magni is one quarter giant, and his death didn't have the same effect

[@UncIe-Ben]

In the first game we see Magni's body stay there, Atreus points out that he did not make his way to Valhalla because Gods find their own way to Valhalla but he did not because Odin closed the way to prevent Kratos from getting into Asgard. Perhaps this was just Thor's soul finding its way to Valhalla before it was destroyed?

[@ammaralmihyawi3538]

I think santa monica doesn't care about the higher plane of existenz anymore. They changed their storytelling to a more simple upfront maybe fairytale like narrative. But I understand you wish to learn more about this

[@izuniaberg1227]

Despite he is god, he is still also half-giant, so his soul could went into Light of Alfheim just like other giants like Faye or probably his mother Fjorgyn, maybe this is the reason why Thrúd was in Alfheim with Mjornir to make contact to his soul. I have also theory that after he died, his soul went into Mjornir just like one part of Fenrir’s soul went into Atreus’ knife.

Big fan bro, love your theories

[@bigfella122]

Very interesting point. It was intriguing to see Thor pass in that fashion. Santa Monica always keeps us wondering for sure.

[@joshuacain9845]

I think Thor disintegrated as a result of Gungnir being a bifrost based weapon, getting bifrost on you in combat can potentially cause a large chunk of your health to be destroyed, and we never see the effects of bifrost in any other cutscene, so it may be that it’s supposed to dematerialize things, but they nerfed it in combat sections so the player wouldn’t just be killed in one hit by it.

[@nonosetradome]

Thor was just defeated by Kratos, he was already almost dead so it probaby wasn't going to take much to finish him

[@gsauce874]

If that's the case, Then Freyr might have also ascended to the higher plane of existence coz Freyr also did a selfless act of protecting his sister and company and the realms. Ofcourse we didn't see him dying but wild assumption 🤷

[@ecokrazy]

IF this is true, I think the fact we don't see bloodthirsty Thor lends weight. It's pretty clear that Thor had been going through introspection with Sif for at least the whole game, and maybe the three years leading up to it.

[@Outcastic]

when you were talking about how possibly only gods of intelegence go to the higher plane i just imagined thor as a discord mod explaining random norse trivia

[@fa1ntom]

I personally believe that Atreus will have his own game and have a theory that it may be called "God of Mischief" or "Champion of The Jötnar" And I always thought that Mjölnir was gonna be Atreus' weapon so even though this is the last God of War game in the Norse pantheon does not mean it is the end of Atreus' story in the Norse pantheon therefore Thor may return there.

[@saberkiller4567]

Atreus is not strong enough to wield mjolnir, huge strength is not part of his godly powers

[@ineverdonschot6215]

I think they might have 1 god from every pantheon going to the Higher Plane. Athena, Thor, in Egypt it could be almost anyone, but I'm leaning towards Thoth, China might be Sun Wukong, and after we have each pantheon, some destroyed, some saved, we go to the Higher Plane of Existence Edit: I made this comment immediately in the beginning, so I didn't know Thoth was already there, sorry

[@parthbhadauria8664]

Hey Kuba i have a theory: First of all LOVE FROM INDIA... Secondly Like in the next time it's gonna be Atreus/Loki game where he might go to Egypt through his journey for knowledge and all or something like that but cause he's Loki God Of Mischief he might make some Gods of Egypt angry by tricking them by his magic for some knowledge or something and cause he's no KRATOS that he can defeat 2 whole patheon on his own he than gonna tell KRATOS through someone else that he (Atreus/Loki) is dead or something like that to trick KRATOS to help him as soon as possible but instead KRATOS goes BERSERK and return back to his old form and defeating an another pantheon... But then Atreus will realise that he messed with the wrong person and real bad too and then maybe THOR or ATHENA from Higher Plane Of Existence will enter something like that... still just a fan story nothing more - THE END(Part-1)

[@omarmahmood7128]

About to watch this video. My hope is that they bring Thor back for the Loki game. Have him face all the destruction and pain he caused the Giants, while trying to save them with Loki. I know it won't happen. But it would be amazing.

[@exfonity]

Hey Kuba I haven’t watched u in a while I love the intro

[@weebleygreebley]

i would like to see the higher plane of existence not only because its mentioned by athena and maybe shown in the comics but also because thats kind of what odin was looking for in a way he was looking for answers as to what gods are born for so maybe that includes where they end up when they die, another thing i think it would be cool if thor dying like that symbolized that he was going to the higher plane of existence but i think he died like that because hes half giant it kind of reminded me of how fayes ashes were kinda whispy and just floated away as light rather than just ashes and to me that makes sense because thor can also be seen in the mural left for kratos at the end of the game hes just standing behind him colored in blue like the way his spirit particles looked as they whisped away

[@partymantis3421]

Hugin & Munin(ripp bozo) are definitely some backup plan for Odin, They were regular ravens before Odin messed with them so they probably have their own will with a fragment of Odins soul in them, Would be cool if Hugin joined Atreus on his adventure & perhaps would be torn between resurecting his master or siding with his new friends

[@jb1201]

Remember when Athena came back she totally changed her perspectives on life, at first she says that Zues must live so Olympus will prevail but then tells Kratos that Zues must die and essentially that Olympus must crumble. Well what if Thor's ideas change and he wants to make the giants come back so they can once again thrive. would be a cool start to a game for Atrues since he is looking for the giants and the two of them have been acquaintances before. just my idea

[@CJfromMEXICO]

I think when we found the last mural in 2018, it WAS depicting kratos dying in Loki’s arms, but after Kratos changed his fate by opening his heart, the prophecy was changed for Thor to die neard Thrud

[@litningblack5917]

Never thought of that more like fate changed since the whole point is prophecy isn’t the real thing which also makes u think that mural at the end If that was there the whole time doesn’t that mean that the mural that shows kratos dying was bs from the start So making the first mural incorrect from the start

[@litningblack5917]

Weird when u think about it lol

[@quickforb]

Ok i Don't remember EXACTLY what i saw but when the Gow 2018 got released for pc, players found a way to free roam in photo mode and someone made a video where , after Loki stabs modi in the neck and kicks him off the edge, we can see Modi's body roll off and lie on the rubble. Obviously developers didn't want us too see that but still maybe worth noting. (also if he actually died, still died normally unlike Thor)

[@SpeedDeamon95]

This makes sense with why those chose the personality they did for odin. The games can go through the pantheons and then tie it all together.

[@heavenlyweather117]

Thank god this wasn't wasn't another "do we go back to Greece" theory lol

"What more does Odin want!?" "Your silence"

[@CrowUnTold135]

I hope that in the next game it's revealed that it's possible to revive thor and they succeed because thor is one of my favorite god of war characters

@Kaptain Kuba can u finally address the fact that kratos breaks the fourth wall in 2018 and he is talking to Faye. And why didn't he do it again in ragnarok. I think it's because she is in the axe and those dreams he had of her were really her coming to his dream to motivate him and push him in the right direction

[@johnbzn6508]

Yes, I want him to be in that higher playing the existence. I want them to help everybody out that would be beautiful.

[@danielcavesripfuture9866]

I have a theory that is most likely wrong, when Thor was stab by Odin, the particles look identical to the particles in the first game when Freya was teleported back to Midgard because of a curse that was made by Odin, I not suggesting that Thor was teleported, I don't know what happened to Thor.

[@sinofsanity6593]

I think one detail missed here is Odin's spear. I don't really remember it being mentioned in game but his spear is already famous; Gungnir. for the most part, virtually any other damage to a god will heal, Gungnir is specifically designed to give immortals mortal wounds it doesn't matter who

[@TheFriendlyAnarchist]

I don’t know if Thor went to a higher plane, but it was an absolute *travesty* that Kratos never got to wield Mjolnir.

[@theprodigalson4003]

He’s gonna come in at the last second like “miss me” and he’s gonna be our new lean mean ginger machine

[@FuzzySamurai]

I wanna hear your theory about valhalla. there was a small talk post story about it but it was left in the air. nobody knows what happened to it. since odin is confirmed to not go to valhalla, does the other gods like thor, heimdall and baldur go to valhalla?

[@jetsetdrift]

Baldur would’ve went to Valhalla but since he died after the battle he souls was commended to Helheim like in Norse myth. Heimdall likely went to Valhalla which is probably how Forseti learned Kratos killed him & passed the information along to Mist & Hrist.

[@Valadin616]

They could try and bring him back with the Lake of souls

[@quickforb]

Also didn't freya's brother sacrifice himself. So if that worthy rule applies, he is probably chilling there too.

[@rich1051414]

Defying your own nature for the greater good seems like a more worthy requirement to me. Something a rare few were capable of.

[@MrStreaty122]

A thought occurred to me whilst watching this video; what if the qualifying factor to get into the higher plane of existence has nothing to do with what you do but who you choose to be? The Norns told Kratos and Freya they were so easily predictable, which made the Norns appear to have powers of foresight, because they too set in their way to make different choices. Athena made the choice to sacrifice herself. To not be a proud and selfish God, and instead be a selfless and caring daughter. Thor made the choice to disobey Odin. To not be the obedient son, and instead be the good father. Kratos made the choice not to kill Thor. To not be the callous ruthless killer he was made to be, and instead show mercy, empathize with his enemy, and hope for a better outcome. Kratos’ own dialogue seemingly supports the idea of character growth being the driving force of the story. “We will be the gods we choose to be.” “Do not be sorry. Be better.” “We must be better than this.” “We must be better. For the sake of our children.” My point is reinforced even more now that the Valhalla DLC is out. It’s one massive therapy session for Kratos, demonstrating monumental character growth to the point he’s willing to accept his old title as God of War because he’s now redefined what that means. It’s about personal growth. Choosing to grow is what gets you into the higher plane, even if that means your immediate death.

[@HanmaCaleb]

This is good, but I might have a different idea. When the enemies of the GOW Norse Saga die, they’re bodies dematerialises into ash like Thor, and they go to the Lake of Souls in Alfheim I believe. I think it was mentioned that Giants who didn’t put their soul into the marbles also go to the Lake, so people connected to Nature and the natural world go to the Lake when they pass. Norse Gods like Baldur, Magni and Heimdall weren’t connected to Nature but rather more abstract concepts or related to ideas like how Magni was the God of Strength I believe and just that. Thor however, was known as the god of Thunder, and that’s a aspect of Nature, so I believe he dusted as his soul went to the LoS in Alfheim, and with his soul being as he is it might cut out a small chunk of the lake for his soul to remain and not join the Light. This can lead to a possible DLC with Kratos being visited by Thrúd in later years, asking for his help in getting Thor back, and they travel to Alfheim with Mimir and Freya, and they could get Thor’s soul from the Lake like Brok and bring him back, maybe also try and get Brok back for Sindri. And while they do this we can get more flushed out Lore on the Aesir and Thor’s life and how he was when we didn’t see him

[@OneCut1Slash]

Odin tells Atreus "I have to know there's something when a god dies (an afterlife/ continued existence). I think he was being truthful with this statement. Then we see what happened with Brok. He literally doesn't exist anymore. there was nothing for him since he was incomplete. And of course we have Thor dissolving like Athena. Santa Monica is definitely building up to something in regards to a higher plane of existence.
