Wife Discovers God of War Lore - Emotional Death of Athena (Part 8)

Welcome back to our God of War Lore journey! In this video, we follow the story of Kratos, a former servant of the Gods who has grown tired of their demands and seeks retribution for his loyalty.

It do be like that sometimes 😂

[@stargazerequiem]

She was right, in the game it was Kratos who made Atlas carry the world on his shoulders. He was only chained up somewhere else in Tartarus before Persephone let him go to destroy the pillar that holds the world (that's the reason why Atlas was with Persephone in the underworld), which did get destroyed but Kratos chained him there during the final battle with Persephone so now Atlas is the one holding the earth and why Atlas had a grudge against Kratos when they met the 2nd time.

[@lewd2851]

Something important that was cut from the previous video regarding GoW2: The destruction of Sparta. You can hear Kratos say "I won't let you destroy Sparta" as he's fighting Zeus. Right before reaching the temple of the sisters, Kratos enters a shadowy room and fights a figure we can't make out, until they break out of the room into daylight and realize Kratos just ran through the young spartan commander that had survived Zeus' wiping out the Spartan army after stabbing Kratos. Confused and angry, Kratos asks him why hes there, and the commander explains that Sparta no longer exists, as after killing him Zeus descended on it and destroyed it completely, which is why the commander left to seek the sisters so they could change the fate of Sparta being destroyed. With his last breath the commander says he has faith Sparta will at least live on through Kratos, the true god of war. This pisses off Kratos to the max, if anymore is even possible, as now he has lost his wife, daughter, brother, mother, reputation, countrymen AND finally his homeland. He has absolutely nothing left. Post this we see the scene with him reaching the Sisters themselves. The reason Kratos had to find the sisters and go back in time was so he could retrieve the Blade of Olympus, where he put in all his godly powers, without those he isn't strong enough to take on Zeus in open combat or kill him for good, as well as prevent Sparta being destroyed. He at least succeeded in doing that by going back in time, but with the death of Athena whatever small ounce of remorse and humanity Kratos still had has been completely replaced by revenge, which you'll see in full display during the cutscenes of GoW 3

I can't believe they cut that out, in fact most of these "ALL cutscenes" videos shouldn't be posted on KZbin because of how bad they are edited. I suggested Gamer's little Playground channel in another video but I don't think they saw my comment.

Ironically, Kratos probably destroyed sparta on his own as all those gods screwed up the Greek pantheon and the surrounding lands

Always when they try to prevent a prophecy they end up making it come to fruition

[@risaYilA]

Ye it seems like “prophecies” come true WHEN you make the intention and commitment to make a certain action that is TRYING to stop it from happening. But if you just go about your life without letting prophecies dictate you, that’s when you have a chance of going against it.

Sad thing is he could of went back in time to save his daughter but his need for vengeance clouds his judgement

He could have saved his brother too

[@BeBetter117]

That would be pointless. If he went back in time to save his daughter or whatever there would be two Kratos, him and his past self so if he would change the past he would cease to exist and so everything he has done from that point on. Ares and all the gods would still be alive and the story would repeat again someway. Its a bit of a mindfuck but think about it.

@@risaYilA They pretty much are physical aspects of the universe. The sisters of fate are physical aspects of reality, space and time. Kratos also killed Thanatos, who was a Primordial too. He was the physical representation of Death.

[@user-cp4rf4mk1m]

I just realised something every god has a prophecy to kill his father even in God of war Ragnarok Atreus's destiny was to watch Kratos die and serve Odin

[@MagicalMaster]

It's actually kind of simple why Kratos was regretful to have killed Athena, it even goes beyond his relationship with her. Deep down... VERY deep down, he's a standup guy. All you need to do to survive an angry Kratos is to step out of his way. That is it. In the games earlier in the timeline he even outright protects strangers, pushing them out of the way of danger and everything. If you don't raise your hand against him, he WILL NOT hurt you. Not on purpose. If you're getting in his way, if you're not being reasonable, he WILL take you out. But if you haven't hurt him, which up to this point Athena hasn't despite her jerking him around, then he does not want to hurt you.

[@0lest]

A fun fact about those first words at the start about messing up xd. On the very first videos is stated on how the prophecy said that the "marked" child of Zeus is the one that will come to kill him. If you remember when Atenea and Ares went to get Demos, Ares punches Kratos away giving him a scar "the mark" the prophecy was talkig about. New follower here, love these videos

[@duanefrench9561]

Kratos knew Zeus was his father since ghost of Sparta game. His mother told him before she turned into the monster, that was her secret. Also the grave digger that kratos met throughout God of war is Zeus in disguise.

[@goaldriven8853]

Omg guys please hurry with the next one lol you guys are really entertaining to watch

[@jmb72390]

Sorry about the voice quality going in and out when that video was made that was well known glitch of the PS2 Athena tried her best to plead with Kratos but at that point he was done listening to the Gods even when she was dying it was upon deaf ears cuz Kratos heard so many lies and half truth at that point his resentment was overwhelming and after what Zeus did was a straw that broke the camel's back

[@sirmalloy]

Atlas was trapped in the underworld, he destroyed the pillar holding the world together and so Kratos made him hold the world in its place

[@AH-tl8pd]

Just FYI, how this video started is not how we first seen the story line. Kratos' childhood is only shown in Ghost of Sparta, which was a PSP game. First we seen kratos when he jumped off the highest mountain to kill himself when he said "The God of Olympus have abandoned me, now there is no hope". Plus people usually thinks Kratos always wanted revenge, in fact later in the games thats how he was shown, but in GOW 1, you can see that he only wanted to forget the pain ad vision of him killing his family. He didnt even think, it was possible to kill a god. But GOW 2 has one of the legendary quote of all time from Kratos - ""A choice from the gods, is as useless as the gods themselves".

[@voidphoria4732]

Thanks for making these videos, it's been fun re-watching the origin story of Kratos and seeing the reactions of people who are new to it :) On the topic of coming full circle, the events of Kratos' story are started due to the God's fear of the prophecy that a marked warrior will destroy Olympus. In seeking to prevent the prophecy from coming true the God's unintentionally set off the chain of events that leads to the prophecy coming true. This theme is touched on again in the new games and I personally find this the most interesting part of the overall storyline of the GOW games, the power of belief in shaping the events of life (self-fulfilling prophecies).

[@battlecrisis]

Just to let you guys know God of War 2 (which is this game) came out before the release of Ghost of Sparta which showed him seeing his mother and Deimos which is why it ended about him hearing from Athena about Zeus being his father. And the end of this video is going into the beginning of GoW 3 (which is my favorite one) you guys are going to love it. Thanks for the great content

[@battlecrisis]

The order of the games are as follows: God of War: Ascension God of War: Chains of Olympus God of War God of War: Ghost of Sparta God of War: Betrayal (which was a mobile game) God of War 2 God of War 3 God of War (2018) God of War: Ragnarok If you want the full full story including the filler bits then you can search the cinematics from each of these games but like I said in another comment most of the missed parts is just gameplay bits but it’s a good watch. I know it took three comments to explain but I hope this helps :)

[@altair227]

Can’t wait for your reaction for gow 3 that one is legendary too.

[@bioniccorndog]

I had a friend one time tell me he didn't believe in spoilers - like they aren't real. He said it's bc there is still so many ways that the writing can get you to the 'spoiler' that its almost more fun to watch and piece together. This just kinda proved that - if we think of them as prophecies, the ending you think was spoiled is now an interesting milestone to watch a story unfold around! Great reaction as always guys, liked and subbed!

[@battlecrisis]

Also I def recommend just going through the cinematics of all the games before GoW 3 so you get the full context of what was happening during all the skips. Most of it is gameplay which is why they probably didn’t show it but it also would’ve been like a 8-10 hour video if the included all of that but do in the story order bc like I said some games that play as prequels came out after some of the games which are later in the story like GoW Ascension which is a prequel to all the games

When you hear in the end of the video Το τέλος αρχίζει τώρα while Kratos is leading the Titans to mountain Olympus it means "the end is starting now", im Greek so you can trust me on this one, the God of war saga in Greece is like a treasure for us in our country even if the mythology is a bit twisted in some parts for the sake of a great franchise it still stays true to the greek mythology and of course all of the God of war games are fun to play.

[@stevenkratos3207]

Since I know you guys saw the scene where the titans get banished, I figured I'd point something out to you guys that not everyone really notices the first time. In that original scene just before they got hit by that wave you can actually see the titans get surrounded by an energy and in the scene in this video you can actually see that he picks them to take them to his time. I just figured that was a cool detail

[@thedemonicstudio39]

Amazing reaction this game is amazing I think God of war is the best game and in my opinion it’s still the most underrated game.

[@punkem733]

Like others have said this cliff hanger was incredible. The wait for GoW 3 was unbearable, and that game didn't disappoint. That game's first hour was maybe the greatest in gaming history. If the rest of the game was that good it EASILY is the greatest game of all time (not that it's not good, but nothing could match that first hour), it al;so has the best graphics on the PS3 until the next Gow sequel came out.

To be fair it MIGHT have still happened. Remember Ares wanted to dethrone Zeus to begin with. More than likely he would have still used Kratos as a means to an end and then possibly destroy him after he assumed the throne of Olympus.

the death of the gods in God of war 3 are violent and brutal but if they're edit out you loose some the impact especially since it shows just how far Kratos is willing to go to reach Zeus, and it provides an interesting comparison to how he is now. However censoring them wont be easy.

[@bigshorty4855]

You guys are coming to the best part. Gow3 might be my favorite. The way he kills his enemies and the gods in part 3 has to be the most brutal shit in gow. This game fire. All 3 main games were fire, but they actually managed to make the subsequent ones better and more brutal than the previous one. 3 > 2 > 1. Got a psp from my little nephew, but I never played the psp games. I got 4 and 5 on ps4/5, but I still haven't gotten to playing them. Was not fond of the battle system being changed, but I really need to beat them and see the stories end. Already spoiled myself with too much yt on 4, and a little with 5. So, no more spoilers for me till I beat them both, lol.

[@cheddarbrice7028]

They set the strength of fate to be a very strong device in the story... prophecies were given and whoever took measures to avoid the foretold future inadvertently caused it. This establishes that fate would never be broken, so since we know this, all the gods and beings who knew the prophecy that faced Kratos was like... "well this man is prophisied to bring death and destruction but even though fate is absolute, imma fight em anyway "? This also shows the sisters of fate cannot even defy the fate they've established... they say Kratos' fate will never change but then tries to kill him?.... even though is FATED to bring destruction to Olympus. I don't put these to be as plot holes though, I believe the writers were showing how pathetic and fruitless the actions these beings took to avoid a known future were.

In the actual Greek lore Kronos who is Zeus's father fought against his father because the man sealed away many of his own children inside of Gaia because they didn't live up to his standards, Kronos being the strongest and smartest of his kids didn't like that so he rebelled against his own father Free to siblings and cut off his father balls, afterward he became the King of the Titans, and the ruler of Time, and when Kronos heard that one of his kids would overthrow him he decided to eat them instead of killing them, and you know how that went, but for the reason why it turned into a war was not because Zeus turned against all the Titans because most of the Titans sided with Kronos, several Titans were actually spared. The funny enough there was an actual prophecy of one of Zeus's own children overthrowing him too in the original Greek mythology lore, but it wasn't from any child with a god or human but his first wife who was also his caretaker she's not in the games, so to prevent her child from overthrowing him he absorbed her with said child. And he thought everything was good until said child decided to pop herself out of Zeus's head and her name was Athena. Though for whatever reason this meant she couldn't fulfill the prophecy anymore so win for him I guess. To be honest most gods who could overthrow Zeus tend to get screwed over for one reason or another anf ironically most of the time not directly by him. Not saying he doesn't screw over all the gods in many ways. But most of the time when a God who has the power to surpass him appears they usually have something happen to them half the time by Hera that prevents them from rising to their full power. Dionysus probably being one of the most iconic. And funny enough it's not because she doesn't want them to overthrow her husband being the fact that she also tried to overthrow her husband, it's usually out of petty reasons

[@vexicution5533]

From someone that has never played a GOW game, I love the GOW series. I love the Greek setting, I love hack & slash, the story, the dramatic scenes and the voice actor Terrence C. Carson, a stella performance, he's so good I still remember the lines he has said as Kratos and I didn`t know he was a black guy until I looked him up, a sick voice actor. When I saw GOW at E3 I was hyped coz I had a PS4 unfortunately when I saw the gameplay and heard the direction it was going I was disappointed. Two things ruined GOW for me, the stupid over the shoulder camera and you can`t jump anymore, you not being able to jump has taken away parts of the combat and the dumb camera perspective is stupid in a game where you are surrounded by enemies. What makes it worse the media was craping on the old games when if it wasn't for the old games the new (rubbish) GOW would not be as popular as it is, the events of the old games make the new GOW relevant. Yes I can admit it did well based on the numbers however they have spoiled the GOW for me, the old GOW was better and no one can convince me otherwis. I will still watch future GOW games on KZbin but I will never buy any of them, such a disappointment

[@TNTGamingonline]

God of war 3 was definitely the pinnacle of the series. I felt like they took everything from the series thus far and perfected it. The new Gow are heavily story driven and seem more like an rpg then an adventure hack n slash.
