Super Best Friends Play God of War (Part 46 Final)

"Think you're getting a little emotional here?" *As a mother cries while grasping the corpse of her dead child* -Patrick Boivin

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Excuse Patrick please. He's still trying to become human.

[@orangeblood27]

Pat's ability to feel emotions was dampened by the chip the Advent put in the back of his head.

[@diegomedina9637]

He says that as he gets mad at Woolie when he talks about the Zapping System.

[@brendondellinger355]

Woolie: Shut up lady, he's trying to kill you! (Woolie says as they savagely beats up Freya's only child whom she has obsessed and sacrificed everything to save all of her millennia.) Sometimes I wonder if the Best Friends have any sort of moral compass, sympathy or empathy whatsoever?

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Dude they hate kids and think about smothering babies.

[@letthatchildalone7843]

"Is this how it always ends? Sons killing their mothers? Fathers?" _"I'd like to see you try, boy."_

[@PlagueOfGripes]

"Could I change into a... horse?" "A horse?" "Yeah, like... a female horse..." "Boy..."

[@salvorhardin2211]

The world serpent did say that Loki felt familiar, so 6-legged horse grand-boy confirmed?

[@kenwynnelson6340]

"You're welcome to surprise me" takes on a new meaning.

[@morbidabyss12]

Loki would love to show you some of his asgardian steel

[@spartan3924]

That's what I thought immediately when he asked that, an image of Kratos looking nervous and disapproving at a slender horse with six legs a bow strapped to it and a pink bow in its' hair giving Thor the eye

[@LordQuadros]

Freya: "My son! Why are you engaging in this multi-phase boss fight?!" Baldur: "It's not a second phase, Mom!"

[@ultraspinalki11]

TheCrumpington So explain the mountain sized corpses in Jotenheim? I think the giants could shrink their sizes/hide their true forms when needed, such as when attending meetings with beings from other realms.

[@BakaSenpapi]

Paulo Penado Atreus explains that giants aren’t actually all giant. Giant are a race of people from regular sized to actual giants. Baldur most likely didn’t know this and also assumed he’d just be really really big

[@d3nyd]

Some giants are huge, and they may even be able to change size at will. Also, Baldur is a dickhead and was probably saying it as a jab.

*Don't read this if you've not watched the video!!* Incidentally, Atreus isn't the only one to get a second name when he's in Jotunheim. The giants actually knew Kratos by the name "Farbautí", the name of Loki's father in original Norse mythology, and whose name translates as "Dangerous Hitter". Is that on point, or what?

Cecil Palmer comparing Baldur to Kratos is the perfect way to sum of this game. Not accurate and poorly conceived.

Notice that after the fight, Kratos quotes Zues from GoW 2: “The cycle ends here. We must be better than this.”

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Though I do like that line coming from Kratos much more then Zeus as it has a positive spin on it that was said due to Kratos genuinely wanting to change himself and the image of what a God is. He knows gods don't have to be dicks to be good gods.

[@TheTsugnawmi2010]

[@Neodeleux]

That's the circle of hatred for you.

[@kingkino2116]

MARPOLO13 Unlike Kratos, who never even mentions killing his wife and child. And apparently reminisces about Atreus of Sparta, and not his wife and child.

[@DanielYellsAtPeople]

Reminder that Freya’s marriage was a sacrifice to try and save her homeland, which reviles her. Her son was the last connection she had for so long, its not too hard to imagine why she held onto it so much.

Welcome everyone, to the final episode of Kratos’ BOIzarre Adventures: Steel BOI Run. So many great things about this game. Setting, combat, characters, *the big twist at the end* - the people at Santa Monica really brought their A-game. Enemy variety could have been better, but it still works out. I can’t wait to get this game myself, and to see where this series goes in the future. Also, thanks to the Super Best Friends for such a hype playthrough.

[@Samm815]

I disliked the inaccurate personalities given to the Gods of Asgard. Hopefully, they won't mess up the Shinto, Egyptian, and Meso-America gods.

[@pwnorbepwned]

Sam Lucas To be fair, the personalities you’re familiar with would be those written by the mortals that worshipped them. Canonically, they could still be assholes and you wouldn’t really be able to know.

[@XboxGamer220]

The whole point is that the positive portrayal of the gods are stories created by the gods themselves - when the "reality" is that they are actually all a bunch of assholes. Except for Thor, cause he is just an asshole

[@Samm815]

Then the ancient Greeks were bad storytellers, or the ancient Greeks were just bad people.

[@shuvamkabir5633]

It apparently didn't have a huge budget, so I can excuse the enemy variety. Really would have liked some more hype bosses, though. Baldur, Magni, and Modi seem like the only memorable bosses to me.

[@wormmon2006]

So, something to point out: in real Norse myth, Jormungandr is the son of Loki. The Serpent in game was stated to have been flung back in time during his battle with Thor during Ragnarok. But the big thing I wanted to point out is whe Atreus was calling Jormungandr, his eyes glowed a couple times. Really neat hinting.

[@sadesemolu]

Holy shit, you're right. You think the snake recognizes his Daddy as a Boi? The save would've been pretty sweet if he did.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

That's what made that scene extra hype for me. Dad, Boi, and Grandboi combos.

[@CosmicEmpyrean]

There is a bit of dialogue where Mimir tells them that Jormungandr says Atreus looks familiar.

[@wormmon2006]

MrLittleSam He commented to Mimir that “the boy” seemed familiar, so I’m guessing it’s implied.

[@BogMod]

That would also cover him being able to tell that "the boy" is part Giant, just like big snake is a giant. Works on a few levels.

[@JJMomoida]

Aside from the sidequest filler arc, I really enjoyed this LP. Sucks that Woolie got spoiled on Atreus as I feel like we could've gotten a stronger reaction out of him. Instead we got Pat's almost-fake-sounding "oh... shit." since he either figured it out on his own or a recommended video spoiled it for him or some such. Oh well, they got pretty hype during Atreus' aerial archery bit.

[@ShinobiPhoenix-YT0]

Carlos Hernandez I wonder if Woolie was spoiled on Atreus the exact same way I did. I was Googling something and typed in "Atreus" and the auto complete question first result was "... Is Loki". I was furious.

[@kingkino2116]

He wasn't spoiled, Pat's norse lore dumps pretty much gave it away

[@ShinobiPhoenix-YT0]

Well, his Lore Dump is full of holes. It doesn't explain who Kratos is in the Mythology now, one has to look that up for themselves. They did make it fit somehow. One thing I got wrong because the Marvel Movies CHANGED it too (and made a lot of people assumptive since that is their only reference to Norse) is that Laufey was ALWAYS female so I was confused on how Atreus could be Loki since Kratos is the father and I was like "did they make Laufey female?". No, Marvel make Laufey MALE in the first Thor movie.

[@kato093]

Carlos Hernandez pat figuring out something ? You serious? The only things he "figured out" were obvious things when he started researching norse mythology to seem smart during the LP and probably stumbled across gow references. Like he is so smart, so much better than us, when he figured out balder is baldr and the mistletoe part, except it was obvious the second he says "i cant feel anything". There are like 5 important asgardians and one if them is loki, a fake asgardian. Wouldnt be surprised if pat spoiled himself the whole game's story just to look smart during the LP by making "guesses", Given how much he listened to 90% of the dialogue and how much he actually understood during the gameplay. The detroit LP taught me the only things he may figure out are the things people write in the comments or around in the internet when he searches for them. Ffs he kept hitting balder and every enemy immune to the axe for at least 10 times before the game just goes "fuck it. He is too dumb and its normal easy mode.he even grinded to be op" and just lets him kill immune enemies anyway. No matter how many times the axe bounces he will keep hitting. That dude "figuring out" stuff? Lmao the smartest thing he ever did was probably figure out where his socks and underwear are every morning after a 30 minutes treasure hunt. With the help of matt.

[@buhlayke]

"We're gonna see something real crazy on that last one!" Pat pls

[@LittleMountain90]

BIG SPOILER MYTHOLOGY FUN FACTS WATCH BEFORE READING, SERIOUSLY The fact that Atreus is Loki has additional layers of cool stuff in Norse Mythology. His mother would have been the queen of the giants, the giantess Laufey (which is why she went by Faye as a mortal). Kratos, therefore, takes over the role of Laufey's husband and Loki's father, Farbauti. His name means, depending on translation, either "Cruel Striker" or "Striker of Powerful Blows". Both fitting epithets for everyone's favorite angry Spartan.

[@FlameOfUdun96]

I really want to see the conversation that happened when Kratos discovered his boi was a huge furry and fathered many gross mutant animal children

[@geardog24]

Flame of Udun And his army of hybrid children will end up killing Odin and taking over Asgard.

[@Dante45p]

fun fact in the mytho Thor mentions Loki gave birth to a couple of kids OTHER than the horse Hel being one of them too

[@TitanGT66]

Not just fathered, but also mothered. "Hey father look! I can become a girl too!" *Kratos enters spartan rage*

[@liltdogtv]

[@deeforty-five8588]

So Pat has the myths slightly wrong. Baldur's death signifies the beginning of Fimbulwinter, a great desolate winter that kills everything that's not a god/giant/monster. When Fimbulwinter ends, Ragnarok begins. So Baldur dying _does_ lead to Ragnarok, it's just not instant the way Pat thinks it is.

[@lordlinkthegreat]

That's why he says snow when he dies.

[@murciadoxial8056]

To be fair, pat has a decent enough knowledge of the mythology, he was able to call that atreus is loki in opart 7, and his only clues were the axe and that's it

[@ObiTrev]

*ATREUS:* What is best in life father? *KRATOS:* To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women! *MIMIR:* You stole that from Conan! *KRTATOS:* I did nothing of the sort head! How do you know I didn't say it first!

[@introspectre7713]

[@ArtficialFlvrz]

He also just took a big swig of spartan wine, probably not watered down at all, and he's like, 10 or something. I'm surprised everyone always thinks its crazy magic and not a buzzed kid who just found out hes a god.

[@kevinnoonan5534]

Haha I didn't think of that, Atreus is a mean drunk

[@MrComic23]

Or he went crazy because Loki's the evilest of all norse gods and feels that everyone is below him.

[@KittyAwesomnessgirl1]

MrComic23 oh yeah that would make sense. Also we still havent seen the full extent of his power yet or even scratched the surface this game. He is the God of mischief along with a few other things in addition to being half God half giant, cant imagine how teenage Loki/Atreus will be

[@grenyena9190]

*K R A T A L I T Y* Kratos and Boi win!

[@chipslight738]

Before Ragnarok happens, Fimbulwinter (Fimbulvetr) has to happen, a winter so harsh and powerful as well as lasting 3 winters, taking place over Summer even (so either 3 years of harsh winter or just 3 seasons) where all life on Earth are supposed to die out before Ragnarok starts. So it's safe to assume that if the game follows a trilogy like the previous series (excluding the spin-offs of course), Fimbulwinter will be GoW5 and Ragnarok will be GoW6.

[@Azraelseraphim]

And then we go Leprechaun hunting in Ireland. Grabbing hot red Irish booty. Beating up Cúchulainn. Tea bagging Oberon. Doing all sorts of shit to fairies and Banshees. Perhaps we get to slap that fine Morrigan ass or perhap Deirdre would be game. Ah Ireland...

I don’t know if anyone else caught this, but Balder’s last word being “snow” is probably connected to the coming of Fimbulwinter.

I honestly wouldn't mind this trilogy ending with Atreus as the new protagonist and starting a new trilogy against a different pantheon...

[@chillworksdev4145]

Hey guys gals and everyone. This LP really came to me at a very dark and crushing time in my life. The videos have been amazing, and so have the comment sections, which I laughed at after finishing each episode. At one point in that dark time, I was going through each day in utter mental agony and finding myself in a terrible situation. And then suddenly, the first Baldur fight happened and the TBFP were so endearingly hype about it, I was hooked. Every time a notification of a new episode came up, it brightened my day and gave me something to look forward to in my free time. Side quests aside, I've enjoyed this the whole way through, and seeing the end of this..........it really makes me feel something. And in a way, finishing it with the rest of these people in the comments feel great. The game was fantastic, the Zaibatsu were fantastic, and the comments were fantastic. Glad to see it through, and glad to feel this catharsis at the end. I hope you all find wonderful times in life. They do appear, despite the darkness in between. This was all very sappy and emotional but I'm glad to have said it.

[@SteelBallRun1890]

So last video we got vore. For the final part, we got "son on milf" choking action. Also, look at Sony continuing to toss money at Santa Monica and they keep converting that money into videogames, look at this final fight being money. Edit: That secret ending where the Immigrant Song is just booming on the background.

[@SSFhighcommandJOHN]

This video game cost less money to make then both Mass Effect Andromeda, and Metal Gear Solid V. Sony know's how to spend efficiently.

[@ConfusionPlus2]

Masochism, choking, "Son on milf", vore and dominate women stepping on your head, the last 3 episodes have truly captured the sexual depravity of Norse mythology.

[@LittleWingedKuribo]

Turns out if you treat staff well and give them the required time they can make game quality GO UP!

[@zeroskaterz92]

More like look at this final fight being a clusterfuck mess with less gameplay, more unskippable cutscenes.

[@WorthyRiddle76]

Truly we were the bois

[@Zer0Hour17]

I don't really get what Matt's complaint is on the final boss. You had several location changes, the World serpent biting off a reanimated giant's head and father son beat down combos. I guess the fight itself was quick, but that's because Pat has the most powerful everything in the game while only playing on normal.

[@sporeceress1465]

[@godsplayingfield]

*years years later, shot showing Kratos cutting tree's in a forest* Kratos: i'm a lumberjack and i'm okay..... Art: FATHER! i have returned from my journey! i bring my sons and daughters to visit as well! Kra: really Artreus! come, let me see my grandchi *stops in shock as he see's a 8 legged horse, a giant stalion, a huge wolf, a meek half dead (literally, skeletal down one side) girl, mini babeh world serpent and one normal looking boy* Art: there is maybe another boy but fighting childrights with Odin on that one Kra: ........ *dropped axe in shock* ......... *DEEP BREATH* ........ *BOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!* Art: i wasnt for half of them.... Kra: ........... Mimir (in super magical mech suit the dwarves made him): well.... atleast you have a colourful family!

[@TitanGT66]

This just made my entire week XD

[@lucasmartinez5703]

I think Kratos would be just happy to have a family again. Maybe even feel blessed that his family became huge. I don't think Kratos is the type of guy to have hangups about his kid's love life.

[@Fjarhultian]

I always interpreted her half rotting or corpse-cold.

[@godsplayingfield]

Fjarhultian honestly, it changes depending on the story/myth she is in. sometimes she is described as half skeletal with green fire of an eye, other times described as you interpreted. i chalk this up to either she is shown in varying stages of decay and the myths arent in any particular order (or time is weird in the realm of the dead, which is possible) or her dead half is dependant on who see's her in some capacity i aint sure of, but wouldnt be the first time that would be a thing (especially considering her father, so i'm sure she has some gimmicks she cant control much) or hel maybe represents the state of hel itself and her dead half shows the condition of the realm in some way. in any case, i went with full skeletal cause it feels more comical than half rotting and my comment was a mix of joke and stating how messed up Art's love life is gonna be later down the road lol though honestly Kratos would probably be like "........ *ZEEEUUUUSSSS* ..... he really is of our blood...." considering Zeus loved to be animals and rape basically anything with a pulse..... and sometimes without one....

[@cc_plays]

See now I need the sequel when Atreus comes home and goes: "So umm... dad... I found out I could shapeshift today! I turned into a horse! No, a girl horse... and umm.... so you're going to be a granddad!" and the follow-up later that Christmas after Kratos spent all that extra time finding 8 perfect little iron shoes for his grandson, "So I met this super cool wolf in Jötunheimr today..." and then later the "Also I went back in time and it seems the World Serpent is my son... so that's pretty cool!" and then "So I have a son that is actually two people except that he isn't and he's also literally the concept of night ..." and then "So my wife and I had a little girl! She so cute dad, you'll love her! Just be careful, because half of her seems to be well... corpse is a bit of a strong word... oh, no she's fine! Very lively! She likes punching things! Takes after you! My wife wants to name her Hel, pretty funny huh? I should get her an internship there later when she's older, the pun will be amazing!" And then Kratos takes up drinking...

[@ColonelCorson]

Right before Kratos broke Baldur's neck, he quoted Zeus.

[@wormmon2006]

More fun facts: Loki, in real norse myth, is stated to be the son of two Jotun: Laufey and Farbauti. The Guys missed it, but there’s dialogue of Mimir talking about how Fey, Atreus’ mother, was really Laufey the Just (or some similar title). Additionally, if you translate the runes on the wall in Jotunheim, the Jotun refer to Kratos as Farbauti. The name means “Cruel Striker” (fitting), but there interesting concepts in that Loki was a fire god and Farbauti was conncted to lightning strikes, thus the idea of wild fires spawning from lightning strikes.

[@Azraelseraphim]

Makes sense considering Grandpappy Zeus was all about the lightning and even lent the ability to Kratos.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

I’m guessing that Faye using a frost axe is a reference to Loki’s representation in Marvel?

[@Davies46]

[@rogerg0120]

Think this was my last full LP if Best Friends play post break up. May the friends one day reunite in the halls of Valhalla!

[@Robscott5598]

Ragnarok does not immediately start with Baldur's death. First comes Fibbelwinter, a deep and extended harsh winter that covers the entire world in snow and ice for three years. Then at the end of three years of winter the Ragnarok begins. And even then it takes quite some time to play out. Loki makes alliances with various foes of Asgard. The World Seprent, the great wolf Fenrir, Hel and her legions of the dead from Helheim, the Giants of Jotenheim, the Dark Elves of Svartelheim, and the Dark Dwarves and Fire Spirits of Musphelhiem rise and attack Asgard in a long protracted war against the Aesir Gods of Asgard and the Enherjar armies of Valhalla. The enemies of Asgard siege the golden city and it's towering walls for years and destroy the rainbow Bifrost bridge cutting the Aesir off from any reinforcements from their allies, the world of Men, the Light Elves, and the Dwarves. allowing the fire giant Surt'r time to forge the Sword of Twilight which is the only thing capable of igniting the stars, catching the World Tree, Yadgastril, alight and burning Asgard and all of creation to the ground. Strangely enough some of the very few survivors of the original Ragnarok stories are Magni and Modi, sons of Thor (most versions only speak of Magni as being the sole survivor of Asgard), which obviously isn't going to be the case in the games.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

That's a whole lot of God of War to look forward to.

[@Robscott5598]

yeah, but the games are obviously going to need to go in their own direction and do something different. I mean the whole "End of the World" theme many historians and enthusiasts ascribe to Ragnarok couldn't be farther from the original intentions of the story. In all versions of it's retelling Magni finds other survivors among the Vanier Gods, they make a new race of Gods and recreate men, Baldur returns and shines like a new sun over a reborn world that rises from the ashes of the old, and eventually over time all the Aesir Gods return to life and the process starts over again. An unending cycle that most likely was meant to portray the stories used to explain the changing of seasons and the cyclical nature of each year to an ancient and superstious peoples. The future GoW games will most likely aim for real finality and closure and go their own storytelling direction instead, but yeah there are still a lot of fun pieces there to tell one hell of a story with.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Well this game is even spinning Norse mythos in its own way too, so I expect future games to sort of tell a different story.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

This is the coolest bit of Norse mythology that I’ve heard so far. Seriously, holy shit. That’s the fucking coolest!

[@jake51479]

It makes sense for Baldur to mistake Kratos for a frost giant. Kratos is a tall, pale man, who wields the axe of a frost giant, lives in the woods that is constantly snowing.

[@crimsonb.6013]

The runes at the end read out 'Laufey' for Faye, 'Farbauti' for Kratos and, of course, 'Loki' for Atreus. Also, that bit on the end that Kratos is staring at reads 'betrayal' on the bottom left and 'death of father' on the top.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Oof for that last bit.

[@devilovesdevil]

Crimson Bastard. Also to note apparently there are signals that Kratos will lose an eye apparently, the toy in the main title menu of Kratos has a missing eye as well as the eye on the wall is blacked out. Tho on closer inspection to the rune wall his face is all caved in with blood spurting out more then likely Thors doing.

[@lordlinkthegreat]

Theory: Knowing that Kratos will eventually die and how the Gods are perceived as villains in this game. In general norse mythology Loki is considered the villain, but since the gods here are the villains, he'll be considered the hero. Once Kratos dies, we'll most likely follow the journey of Atreus getting his "revenge". Or, since Atreus was going crazy in the middle of the game, I think he'll only be called Loki when he acts that way. Whenever there is a 180 turn to a persons personality, that's usually represented by a different name. So perhaps we'll have a story of Atreus vs. Loki, two different mindsets fighting to see who will stay. Therefore part of that struggle will result in Kratos' death, Loki taking over and fighting his father only to regret it later as Atreus.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

“Baldur did nothing wrong.”

[@smoldream2908]

The Dungeon Master to our knowledge, no, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had gone on a killing spree before in his life to see if someone could hurt him

[@vonleeroy1149]

You can pick up a few clues about how baldur operates from his dialogue. We know he's at the very least more diplomatic than Thor or Odin are, even in his crazed state. Think its safe to assume he was probably pretty cool before.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

The Dungeon Master No, but now that I think about it, Baldr could have actually pulled a Kratos if Odin was lying about breaking the spell in return for taking down Kratos and Atreus.

[@UltrabotUltimus]

The whole 'The Cycle ends here' is a subtle reference to God of War 2 when Zeus says this...

[@UltrabotUltimus]

Also the Giants can see the future in this game.

[@Tenmashu]

I want to say that Atreus's attitude changed for a few reasons. He learned he was a god (at least part anyway) and power can easily corrupt whether an adult or even a child. Kratos didn't exactly stop him until things had hit their worst. He also drank on their way out of Tyr's temple. Even if he wasn't drunk per say alcohol is notorious for removing one's inhibitions.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

I really want some kind of prequel game or story with Atreus' mom. She seems like a huge badass.

[@FriendlyDarkwraith]

I want the final boss fight to be conceiving Atreus. A hybrid climbing-and-sex minigame.

That fight was a lot more cinematic than challenging, but those boy-launching arrow combos made up for it. Also that little reveal at the end? Nice touch

[@lucasmartinez5703]

It helps that Pat was VERY overpowered for this fight. It also helps that he played on Normal which is basically Easy.

[@JackWolf1]

That last panel on the Jotenheim prophecy Wall is a Very Smart way to set up the continuation of the GOW series. This essentially makes the entire game into an origin story for Atreus, aka. Loki, setting him up as the focus of the next game, essentially creating a natural “baton pass” to the next generation. Lots of credit to whoever came up with this.

[@shanemarsh5]

A good run Pat. Always make sure Matt puts you in charge of action games.

[@isaiahryan9123]

For anyone coming back to this in the future; remember the boat story Kratos told Atreus about the thief and his mother. He ripped off her ear for he only know stealing and his mother indulged him with no punishment or discipline while raising him. She was blind to see the thief he was; only that he was her son. This is Baldur and Freya’s dynamic and why she couldn’t see how far he had gone, no longer the boy she raised

[@VGHistory1]

One of my favorite LPs from the boys.

[@greenxboy1]

I think the reason Atreus went crazy after Tyr's Vault is not because of the black rune or knowing he's a god, but because he's drunk after drinking the wine with Kratos, that's why he couldn't remember what he had done when he was in Hel.

[@ob6733]

Ragnarok was never instantaneous after Baldur’s death, a ton of stuff takes place between the events like Loki’s confession and subsequent torture and Odin taking a pop quiz with a giant

[@XboxGamer220]

It will be curious to see how the events are gonna transpire in the next game. The prophecy on the wall seems to suggest that Kratos' death happens whilst Atreus is still young. Perhaps following his death, Atreus will be punished (chained to the rock, venom dripping, etc) and because of how long he spends there he gets older and then joins the war

[@Fjarhultian]

Atreus is a very unpleasant drunk.

[@ericemigh3869]

While the last fight with Baldur can be a bit underwhelming even under the best of circumstances, it is worth noting that they were WAY overleveled for it. Compared to the valkyries, it's nothing to write home about, which is why they're best saved for post-game.

[@ExemplarKyle]

Interesting plot point: Freya is actually a worse parent than Kratos, to a reasonable extent. Her intentions were good, sure. But, as Mimir pointed out, by protecting them from ANY pain, loss, or unpleasant experiences, you're depriving them of the experiences that make life worth living and the struggles that teach them how to deal with life in general. Kratos, on the other hand, teaches BOI how to adapt and overcome the many struggles he will encounter and how to do so without becoming lost in his Godhood and power. Truly, Kratos is the Dad of War.

[@austin9568AuraMasterDX]

[@GanguroKonata]

What about baldur makes Woolie think he wants to die

[@Samm815]

Baldur wanted to kill his mother if Baldur wanted to kill Kratos after he would have died. But if he didn't he would have lived.

[@kingkino2116]

Is it not accurate that Baldur wants to feel pain, and get revenge on his mother for ruining his life? He's super spot on with the reference to that Black Mirror episode, which ended the same way
