Mythology/language trivia: 1:43 Valhalla is Odin's hall of slain warriors (einherjar), who blissfully live there until Ragnarok (when they will fight against the giants). So to get there mortals need not only to die, but to die in battle and be chosen by a valkyrie to become an einherjar (those who die of sickness or old age go to the underworld, Hel). 5:10 A literal translation (from Icelandic) of "Ráða sjálfr sinum háttum" would be "to rule oneself in one's own way", but it does express the idea of "(being) one's own master" (as Mimir said). 11:38 There's nothing about Valhalla about "drawing from the memories of those who enter", but since it's a place where the slain warriors prepare for Ragnarok, they do fight each other during the day, but are restored to full health every evening (that's probably what gave the devs the idea to use Valhalla as a setting for a roguelike mode, and the memory thing was just so they could reuse game assets). 15:15 "Leyfa" means "to allow, permit" in Icelandic (they're allowing Kratos to enter Valhalla, so I guess it makes sense that word would open the door). 15:44 "Valgrind" (the main entrance to Valhalla) comes from the Old Norse valr ("dead warrior", referring to the einherjar) and grind ("gate"). 29:13 In Greek mythology, Helios is the god who personifies the Sun (while Apollo was linked to various domains like music, poetry, prophecy, healing, and light). 33:08 The omega (uppercase:Ω, lowercase:ω) is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, and because of that it usually represents some kind of "end(ing)". That's why it was chosen as the symbol of the God of War series, representing the concept of war itself (and the destruction/"ends" it brings). 36:26 The underworld judges are King Minos, Aeacus, and Rhadamanthus (Aeacus was the judge of people of Europe, Rhadamanthus the judge of the men of Asia, and Minos the judge of the third and final vote). They ensured every soul received a fair and appropriate judgment after death, sending them to Elysium if they were judged worthy, Tartarus if they had been wicked, or to the Asphodel Meadows otherwise. 42:26 Ares was the Greek god of war (in the series, Kratos became the god of war by killing Ares). 52:12 Bifröst was the rainbow bridge between Midgard/Earth and Asgard (the realm of gods), but in the game it's also an energy that acts as a status effect (it turns part of the health bar blue, and if hit by an attack that energy explodes, dealing additional damage equal to the blue portion of the health bar). 1:01:07 Fiske is a masculine name that translates to "fish" in Old Norse. 1:04:07 In Greek mythology, Hermes was the messenger of the gods and the conductor of the dead to Hades (the underworld). 1:12:08 "Okkar í meðal" means "between us/our" in Old Norse. It's part of a quote from the Njáls saga, in which the character Gunnarr says this after hearing the death howl of his dog Sámr (killed by his enemies): "You have been sorely treated, my fosterling Sámr, and it is to be expected that it is meant to be so that our deaths will not be far apart" ("Sárt ertú leikinn, Sámr fóstri, ok búð svá sé til ætlat, at skammt skyli okkar í meðal"). More literally, Gunnarr believes the time between their ("Okkar í meðal") deaths will be short, and that he will also die soon (following his dog's death).

There is a VERY big distinction between Tyr and Týr

[@matheff71]

I think that the fact that he is in Valhalla means that Odin actually killed him and was giving us hope for the whole game. Wouldn't it make sense? Freya is a goddess and she couldn't step into that realm, her own words.

[@lowlydovahkiin8084]

​@matheff71, you can find him in game though, once you complete the main story of course.

[@Schwartzwindhero123]

​@matheff71 Odin didn't kill Týr. He had to keep him alive in order for his disguise to work, (Kratos, Freya, and Mimir discuss this when they discover the prison Odin kept him in) Týr mentions that he went to Valhalla a long time ago to face the same trials he's having Kratos face, so I think he may have discovered a way to enter without dying first. I mean, he did figure out how to freely travel between mythologies and realms, so it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for him to have discovered a back door in his travels. He even knew about this entrance, which only Odin, Freya, and the Valkyries knew about.

[@JacksonDeeds]

⁠@@Schwartzwindhero123y’all might be missing what they were saying exactly. Obviously Tyrs not dead, since he’s right there and we can free him. But perhaps he died at some point, and either went to Valhalla and did his thing, or Odin brought him back. I mean one of you even says it, freya can’t enter cause she hasn’t died yet.

[@Someguyonline24]

Shit, I didn’t expect Kratos to pull out the damn sword in spartan rage, this DLC is looking REALLY good so far!

[@thatgermanpotato1819]

1:02:00 I love Jacks reaction to Helios 😊 Edit: especially when he sees the blade of Olympus at 1:09:36

[@ImmortalLemon]

I like how God of War over the years went from a bunch of middle schoolers trying to make a crazy fun playground game out of what they knew about mythology, all the way to a Shakespeare drama

[@R19Violet]

Seeing Jack so happy about this game just tickles my heart!

[@KidXavierLXC]

Loving seeing you progress as I do too! FYI, the Blade of Olympus is a rage option now labeled "Legacy" when picking a rage at the start

[@cephquepheas]

This DLC has got to be one of my favorites...EVER! So much character development and potential insights into what's yet to come for the GoW franchise. So glad to see its being so well received and that Jack is enjoying it!!

[@n7sorcerer419]

For real. And the fact that it’s FREE is amazing. They could have easily charged $15 or $20 for this level of content but they basically gave it as a gift to the fans!

[@cephquepheas]

@n7sorcerer419 Totally agree! Far too often nowadays we get half baked games that offer the bare minimum when it comes to a good mix of Story, Gameplay, and Mechanics/Systems. I'm so incredibly thankful for devs like these that appreciate their fans and are willing to offer us their thanks in forms like this DLC in return.

[@austink.5827]

I played Valhalla for the first time yesterday. Not knowing that Sean was gonna play it, I was very disappointed that I would never see his reaction to the Blade of Olympus rage. Seeing it today makes it all better. Exactly what I was expecting.

[@jacksondowell9228]

I really appreciate Jack explaining what a rogue like game means. Thanks a lot mate

[@rpgislife]

Me when I first heard Helios' voice: "Who's that talking?" Jack when he first hears Helios' voice: "Helios!" Proof that Jack can recognize character voices better than I can lol

[@thexgamer8240]

Every time Seán plays something new from the God of War series, I immediately have to watch it then add it to my playlist so that I can watch it again.

[@WPFLAWLESS]

Same! I came here to watch help wanted 2 game play and here i am.

[@MeleeTiger]

It's really cool to see try and give Kratos closure on a lot of his past regrets and pain.

[@CausticSalsa]

I always love Seán's quick sense of humor. "I wrecked him (rectum) like an asshole." lmao that got a good laugh outta me.

[@Captain_Jelly]

I've never played any of the GOW games, but seeing Jack react to the throwbacks in this DLC makes me kinda want to

[@elijahhuffstutler7012]

Not sure if I missed you figuring it out or not, but just in case, that cage room is from the original God of War room. It's in Pandoras Temple, you have to push a cage up a hill to burn someone as a sacrifice. Because of regional differences, it might've been an undead legionnaire in the cage when you played

[@RRM693]

It was so cool to see the room recreated in this dlc

[@KahtenTheWatchen]

I really want him to equip the blade of Olympus already, hope he doesn’t forget it

[@orimisprime1558]

I know it was killing me, but what can we do, just inspires others to get GoW Ragnarok to play the DLC ourselves lmao

I can never get tired of more God of War with Sean

[@presentlycrescent]

I have not played the previous god of war games (I only got into it because of Jack’s god of war 4 play through) but seeing how excited Jack was for all of the call backs gave ME serious excitement and joy! The way he freaked out upon the blade of Olympus appearing had me losing my mind.

so sweet to see kratos reading runes since atreus taught him how to in the first game

I genuinely thought Freya asked if she could pursue a romance with Kratos, & I hyped it up so much in my head that the real question was somewhat disappointing, but it was still really cool.

Shout out to Diceroll on the editing in this video. The attention made to ensuring Jack's camera doesn't block anything seems so simple but it's so damn smooth and helpful. It just makes the whole video feel so professional. The lil zooms as he speaks, too? Chef's kiss.
