"She fights well and can be trusted" highest praise Kratos can give 🔥

[@hagamapama]

Given how many times Kratos has been betrayed, him saying that you can be trusted is very high praise indeed.

[@toybirdy]

She fights like shit she couldn’t do anything to heimdel. I mean that cutscene makes her look like trash they way she tried to fight heimdel.

[@professorhal8098]

Literally Kratos’s 2 favorite things 😂

[@Temmoie]

Kratos is also straightforward with his wording, just like Brok. Can't forget the way how he lectured his son in Hel.

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

Sadly she didn't get to start her training with Sigrun since with the latest DLC Sigrun leaves the 9 realms and travels to the other lands and leaves and says goodbye to Mimir

[@alexalonzo8965]

I mean, there are other Valkyrie’s

[@maruwatchesyou8281]

[@Veyron722skyhook]

@@maruwatchesyou8281I'm sure Sigrun still considers the training of recruits to be in safe hands with her other sisters. And there's Freya who was also Valkyrie queen. So I doubt Thrud has missed out completely.

[@seandeans1279]

Did you have to spoil it 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@d.a.f.]

​@@seandeans1279 I mean the video does have Valhalla Secrets in it. VGS is pretty spoilerly in general so I'd avoid it a bit until you finish Valhalla

[@JunkPhuJP]

"Not that she'd let us (forget about her)." Thrud's just standing outside the gates of Valhalla shouting and cursing up a storm until she's taken in. Just as her father taught her lol.

[@johngona5929]

Thrud: LET ME IN! LET ME IN!!! Tyr: She is Sif and Thor's daughter, that much is certain. Kratos: Are we not letting her in? Freya: The doors are opened. If anything, she can just walk in. Mimir: There's her Thor side showing.

[@ES-dp6tw]

Thoughly unlikely, it'd be neat if Thrud could be a companion to Kratos, learning how to tackle the world and face monsters and conflicts alike with a hands-on approach. The Shield-Maidens can hone her skills and potential tactics, Kratos can help her gain field experience.

[@Shek1nah]

well... he has some experience in "hands- on approaches". helios could confirm

[@AceHunter-sf7ur]

he is now the current norse god of war so she might look to him to improve her skills

[@JoaoVictor-rg5ix]

That would be a hell of a storyline. Hope they consider that. Maybe a new dlc with her? Maybe?

[@PaddyRoon7]

I think she'll be one of Atreus' companions in the continuation, alongside Angrboda and Sindri. Edit: and possibly Sigrun.

[@Mastermav11]

Not sure I trust her judgment since she was one of the last people to finally realize Odin was evil

[@izuniaberg1227]

With Valkyrie Wings and Mjornir, Thrud will be one of the badass Valkyrie ever.

Nah, the only thing she would do to make Daddy Thor proud is to protect the Norse Realms from any danger and be a better person than he was.

[@razorrooster7679]

Hold on a minute. There's only three of them? I could have sworn there were nine. What in the world happened to the other six? Did they die or did Odin do something to them?

[@lostmatheusgt]

Did you forget that KRATOS AND Loki killed several of them?

[@razorrooster7679]

@@lostmatheusgt They only killed two of them. Hrist and Mist the two new Valkyries created by Odin. All the others had their physical forms destroyed, but their spirits were still very much intact. And yet we only ever see the three in game.

[@DaTruWombizzle]

near the beginning of the dlc in a missable convo with sigrun she says they are the only surviving valkeries after Ragnarok. So all I can think of is that Thor went on a rampage on them cause that's basically the only one that I can think of other than kratos that can take and kill multiple valks by himself and walk out relatively ok

[@samueldodge8077]

They said we're done and retired.

[@jcie3424]

I remember Gna killing on of them, perhaps they died during ragnarok

[@0predaking0]

So it would start like Hey!!! Thrud, remember the half dead/alive child she following me, can we adopt her?. Oh hell no! Not again Lokes, we got a weird 8 legs horse, three massive wolf, a gargantuan Snake pet for a kid and you want more!!

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

Based on how Thrud acts around her dad in the game you can tell those 2 were very close while hes known to be harsh with Magni and Modi as he beat Modi pretty badly for failing Odin's Order to Kill Kratos. He probably did luv his 2 boys but it was tough love as they grew up into men and Thor was a drinker too so he might have attacked them in a drunken rage with Modi. Also Im hoping they bring her back in the next game too but say a few more years pass and shes now a powerful Valkyrie in training With thier armor and new wings too :)

[@alloran0987]

Throughout it all they say that Odin tried to keep Thor drunk and angry most of the time, and Odin raised Thor roughly, like Thor did to Magni and Modi. After Magni's death Thor got super drunk and beat Modi almost to death, but afterwards Thor felt extremely guilty despite Odin saying otherwise. After Modi died is when Thor swore off drinking and tried to be a better father to Thrud.

[@bungiecoocoo]

I love Thrúd’s 80s hair

[@lyoko_jpeg]

Even if Sigrun leaves the 9 Realms, there's still Freya and Kratos to oversee her progress. Being trained by the Queen of the Valkyries and former Greek God of War - New Norse God of Hope is definitely going to be extra effective.

[@DerangedIntellectual9]

1:18 did Kratos really just ask "yo how y'all been?" damn thas character development

I thought In the Main Game Is Kratos Using the Greek Power Of Hope to Summon The Blade Of Olympus Given The Blade Of Olympus Was Left Powerless And he Left it In Greece and it would Make Sense That He Could Still Use the Greek Power Of Hope Given Hope Is a Transcendent Concept and Does Not Belong to Any One Pantheon Or Religion

Also, it would be too easy. Lastly, it makes sense that Thruud would wield her father's hammer over Kratos.
