I really liked that they revamped the Heimdall match in NG+. Before you just shot him 3 times and the match just became a normal match. But now it is progressively difficult to hit him and he can still avoid you throughout the match. I'm happy in NG+ Santa Monica polished their story to strenghen their narrative!

[@h.w.4482]

did they change a lot of things like that to better fit the story besides in just the heimdall fight?

[@oosmanbeekawoo]

​ @h.w.4482 Bro! They inserted changes throughout the entire game! Better phrased words, little additional actions. I don't know if there is a video documenting the list of changes. I zapped through the re-play just to get in front of Gná as quickly as possible, but here is a list of changes I noticed: #1. Angrboda asks Loki, “so whose soul is it you carry in the knife?” I think this is what makes Loki realise Fenrir is in the knife. #2. Atreus when collecting the mask in Muspelheim drops it into lava, and burns his hand as he plunges his hand to collect it, to which Thor says, “expect it not to feel good when you put your hand into lava!” #3. [Not Sure] Sindri is more welcoming to Tyr. “Your Highness!”, he exclaims, “please make yourself at home”. “And Lady Freya.” This shows he accepted Tyr all along and when he says, “you brought Odin into my house”, I don't feel bad about our Boi's since Sindri is also to blame. I felt much worse when Sindri said it in the first play since I can't remember if he welcomed Tyr wholeheartedly then. #4. Heimdall disappeared during the mission in Helheim but not out of snobbery, but because Odin had given him a mission of his own and he succeeded in recovering the object (forgot what it was). Now he flaunts his majestic success versus Atreus' poor failure in front of Odin! #5. New life lessons added! The first in Svartalfheim when Atreus loses control saying, “Shitshitshitshitshit!” Kratos explains, “in moments of crisis, panic does nothing. Harness it. Let it serve you.” And the second in Vanaheim. Kratos initially said (about the mask), “be wary about shortcuts to knowledge.” But in the replay they added, “the easy answers it promises. If that is true then surely it will exact a price.” Which makes the risk about the mask more clear and helps Atreus to make the correct decision to break it!

[@demonkingzeldris8835]

Someone else said this in another video, and I decided that I wanted to spread this theory. Heimdall is known to have foresight, which is basically like, he can see what you think (Or something like that.) That's what makes him so hard to hit. 1 of 2 reasons as to how Kratos was able to hit him was either 1. He stopped thinking, and reacted off instinct. 2. He got pissed, and went based off anger rather than thought. It's pretty cool. Edit: I'm just going to point out that I am merely just sending a message. I'm not saying that these are true, these are just theories. It's purely for fun, not a source of information.

[@zzgonnazz6893]

Or a bit of both, anger and instinct

[@kaijuslayer3334]

I think that might be part of why Heimdall takes note of Kratos thinking to spare him while saying “what is going on inside that empty head”. It could just be him saying he’s stupid, but it also could be in reference to how he can’t read it all the time because there are few thoughts running through it while he was in combat. Only catching a glimpse of calm thought once Kratos had incapacitated him. So the moment he realized he could pick up one of his thoughts, it caught his attention instantly.

[@isaacyeon6334]

There’s a concept in combat sport called “flow state” which is essentially what ultra instincts is based upon, essentially you’re reacting to the actions of your opponent and instinctively make the next move based on said opponent’s actions. So number 1 is most definitely more plausible for an experienced fighter like Kratos

[@aster6741]

This and Heimdall uses his foresight as a crutch. If Kratos attacks faster than Heimdall can react, especially when he's fighting based off instinct rather than a meditated plan of attack, the only thing that foresight can do is see how hard his ass is gonna get kicked

[@TheDirk1141]

I like the instinct theory better than the anger theory due to Kratos being in a much calmer state in this point of his life. I see it get explained that in the first attack, he tests heimdall's foresight by throwing very wide swings and seeing his reaction. Then during the second attack, he hits him with a tighter combo that makes heimdall have to block instead of simply dodge. That leads him to the third attack where he does the same combo but instead of hitting the hand, he grabs it and leaves heimdall open to the follow up punch. Like it has been said "It doesn't matter if he can see the next punch if he doesn't know how to defend against it." Keep spreading the good word!

I've both always loved, and kinda hated, Mimir's reaction to Kratos killing Heimdall. We spent literally 40 minutes discussing this decision, Freya was absolutely on board, yet Mimir still tries to stop him WHILST he's choking the man out? The big I love is Mimir acting like Kratos is becoming a monster again, when this is probably the tamest death in the series. Put this next to Poseidon's death.

[@uh2988]

I think Poseidon was really when Kratos started getting brutal. Ares before was a simple blade through the chest, Athena was also a Blade through the chest/stomach. Poseidon though got a whole ass beatdown just for him... seeing him try to run away only to get pulled back in for more was terrifying to say the least.

[@lopezroilans.8384]

I mean, Poseidon's death is racially motivated.

[@LittleBlacksheep1995]

It's not about Kratos killing Heimdall, it's about him submitting to rage. Perhaps it could be executed a bit better, like Kratos could disfigure Heimdall's face a few more times and Mimir only tells him to stop then.

[@Aurilion44]

The thing is for all their wisdom and knowledge, all the Norse gods and beings always thought that stories about Kratos were exagerrated or simple myths. Can't blame them since about 1000 years passed and current Kratos is holding back immensely. The final moments of this fight is the first time he let himself go more than a little and Mimir, quite frankly, got scared of him. Likewise, in the Valhalla both him and Tyr were morbidly surprised that he indeed quite literally ripped off the head of another god with his bare hands with Tyr even admitting that he always thought the stories weren't literal and were simply embellished. If Kratos ever truly lost it in those realms he would easily beat Odin and co, but at the far, far too great of a cost to everyone else

[@Incog2k6]

I had actually hoped that Kratos would unleash his "younger self" at Heimdall, only to snap out of it again and realizing that he must not let out that side of him again. Actually, yeah, Santa Monica wrote this scene very close to that, but they still prevented Kratos from TRULY brutalizing Heimdall. He went soft on him here (back then, he would've torn apart Heimdall's limbs and impaled or beaten him up with them 😂). At the very least, he should've given the Poseidon treatment here. Would've made him "coming to his senses" more impactful, and it would've reminded the players even more that "Young Kratos" can still come out whenever he's actually pissed about something (like Atreus getting endangered).

[@BitrateBilly]

i will say it was a pretty brutal beat down on my first playthrough but i will agree they shouldve made the scene of him just beating heimdall senseless longer, nonetheless the double backhand was absolutely violating tho

[@voids4818]

It’s interesting that people wished that Kratos would’ve beaten Heimdall more than he did. I personally think the scene is perfect as is. 1. They needed a way for Kratos to be staring into heimdall’s eyes as he kills him. 2. It was never about the amount of gore or mutilation that made Kratos so violent back then. Shit, he still does that in the Norse games. What made him so violent was his lack of empathy when killing the gods. Only a monster would brutally beat a man to death, and gouge out their eyes with his thumbs. And that’s exactly what heimdall saw in his final moments, a monster.

[@Tripod9648]

In my opinion, if they were going to introduce Young Kratos into the game, they should have reinstated his youthful physique. Although he does resemble Kratos to some extent, it is worth noting that this version of Young Kratos is not based on the one from the third game, where Kratos was modeled after and voiced by Terrence C. Carson. Instead, this young Kratos is a reimagining of what Christopher Judge's Kratos might have looked like. However, it is interesting to see that Kratos still retains his broader and more aged physique, which makes it look both strangely accurate and inaccurate at the same time. Nevertheless, I must admit that I might be biased because the original God of War Kratos was slimmer, taller, and more proportionate, representing a younger and more active version of himself from the past. Nevertheless, it is still a pretty cool DLC feature.

Valhallas version of young kratos is so fucking badass

That fight with Thor was fucken epic bravo

[@bananajoe1882]

Man it was satisfying watching him get folded like that

[@pyrus0zero]

I love that heindall is basically a child that his daddy never spanked and once Kratos hit him it throws a fit about it.

If this is truly the young Kratos he'd given him the Helios treatment

[@abhayharikasun]

Your fighting skills are actually amazing dude

[@mr.mediocregamer9653]

Got to hand it to Heimdall, for a guy who'd never been hit, never had a fair fight, he took it like a champ. He didn't realize he was vulnerable and then run away like a spoiled Prince. He stayed, he fought, and when he was given a chance to live, but with his tail between his legs, he died like a man, fighting. He was actually respectable in that regard.

[@bofCOOLIT]

still a prick though

[@voids4818]

I disagree. He was given an option to yield, continue to live and redeem himself. Instead, he let his ego get the better of him. His death absolutely could’ve been avoided if he didn’t get too full of himself. He didn’t die with honor, in my personal opinion

[@mr.mediocregamer9653]

​@@voids4818Redeem himself? Remember, Kratos is only the "Good guy" because you've been watching his story. From the other guys perspective, Kratos is the bad guy, and he himself doesn't need redeeming. So he still stuck to his guns, and still chose death over defeat. That makes him honorable.

[@voids4818]

@@mr.mediocregamer9653 hey man, the game makes it pretty clear that Heimdall is objectively a bad person. He is Odin’s lapdog after all. It doesn’t matter if he thinks he’s doing the right thing, he absolutely could’ve done the actual right thing and let it go. But as it so happens, his ego gets the better of him and gets him killed. Don’t feel like I’m attacking you either man, just seeing it from a different perspective

[@mr.mediocregamer9653]

@@voids4818 Kratos used a woman to gum up the gears of a gate, just to hold it open. A living woman sacrificed for a gate. Then he killed every God and doomed his entire "Lands" or "Realm" to extinction. Every man, woman and child, dead. Drowned in the ocean. And he's the good guy compared to Odin? No. Again, Heimdall was cocky, rude, but he didn't genocide an entire planet. Kratos did. Compared to that, Heimdall is a school boy.

Lol no. Not even close. The Old Days Kratos would have been FAR FAR FAR more brutal than that.

Wowza, that didn't take long ! Also I like how with this more accurate beardless model that you can better see his facial expressions. It's neat.

[@jodieltheslayer09]

Heimdall looks like his actual name is Joaquin in this game😭💀💀

[@tercial]

I love that slow walk you did with heimdall

[@oneman9918]

I absolutely love how the fight with Thor played out. Im still unsure if Thor killed Kratos or Just knocked him out. Whatever it was, i do believe it was because Kratos was holding back. He does say thats the hardest hes been hit. But, Seeing how he tanks a few more hits like that in the last fight. Im guessing it was just a knock out.

[@Ayyothatsbrandogaming]

Nah he gets killed hence why Thor shocks him and we go to the loading screen

[@oneman9918]

@@Ayyothatsbrandogaming from what I'm seeing on Google you're right. (You just got it backwards a little.) Loading screen first then he shocks em lol. (Google )- Kratos died in the Thor fight at the very beginning of the game," said Sophos. "He was going to die and it wasn't a permanent death... [but] he would get pulled out of Hel essentially by Atreus but now 20 years have passed. so either way he was supposed to die.

[@bardockshiny]

@@oneman9918 In a way it would be cool to see that story. In other way, Kratos already spent enough time on Hell xD

[@RulerOfTheLabyrinth]

Some people thought that was put in the first Thor fight bc it fulfills the prophecy that Kratos will fight Thor and die before the rest of the game unfolds. This is why the last Thor fight doesn't end how it was fortold, bc the fortelling was about the first fight.

[@stevent3676]

I know I'm 5 months late, but I gotta say that I absolutely love the perfect timing of the ending, where IMMEDIATELY after saying he'll beat Atreus' face into a pulp, Kratos comes THIS close to quite literally doing the same thing to him.

[@spacecadet_cru]

They did such a great job on young kratos model. i hope they remaster on the old GOWs sometime soon

[@EternalNightingale]

I would love if Sony green lights GOW1 and 2 remasters and infamous 1&2

[@2016uzi]

8:50 bro did him so dirty with that combo 💀

[@gvzi]

If this was young Kratos, he would have taken the eyes out of Heimdall and put one in his eye to tell future attacks and freeze time with. Or he would have just taken Heimdall’s head and used it for foresight, and time manipulation

[@Misosalty683]

That wouldve been cool as hell though am i right?

Gow3 kratos is the only Savage kratos.

[@jonathan6545]

God of Foreskin is actually wild

[@raphaelhenker8771]

The way you make Heimdal back up and bait him into the floor spears is amazingly tactical and efficant, much like how old Kratos would fight. I think young, crazed kratos could still beat heimdall high diff through brute force, but Old, calm kratos low/mid diff's at worst. Amazing writing and game design

[@bonerprime4010]

If it’s god of war 3 kratos then no diff since he has Helios head which could blind heimdall much easier than the spear does

[@AVSGC]

God of War 3 Kratos was unreal​@@bonerprime4010

[@Sassaparilla]

@@bonerprime4010 I don't think the spear is blinding him. It is a concussive blast, likely of air as wind is the aspect of the Draupnir Spear. More of a "make that brain jiggle" situation.

[@bonerprime4010]

@@Sassaparilla yeah I agree, I think it’s almost like a flash bang, it just fucks his senses up to make it much easier to hit him. Helios head would surely do the same by blinding him for a short time and GOW3 kratos is a lot faster because of his Jordan’s too

[@Dutch.Van.Der.Linde.]

He looks like that live action version they made to that GOW Ascension AD

[@bandawin18]

It's weird seeing Kratos not have the Golden Fleece, I kinda wished they added that in NG+ but man the game is damn near perfect as it is

[@Sassaparilla]

Considering it is a magical artifact from Greece, there's a good chance it lost its power, so he discarded it.

@@Sassaparilla well it was completely shattered at the end of GoW 3, I just wish it was a cosmetic in NG+ or something cuz we already got young Kratos and the blade of Olympus so why not?
