Will The Light of Alfheim Play A Role in God of War 6?

[@Krypto1201]

Yk how Odin grabs TF out of Kratos face during his boss fight? If you remember- Odin gives back memories to his warriors from Valhalla, what if he tried to forcefully see what was in the light. As a last stitch effort to find out if there IS an afterlife for him

[@KaptainKuba]

Damn that would be intersting. But I think at that time he was busy trying to survive. I made a short about it tho, let me know what you think kzbin.infom4optoNHRA0

I still can't believe how easily they trusted Faye into our face so early into GoWR after portraying her as such a very mysterious person in GoW 2018

[@LoveyoDance]

I mean as far as I’m concerned I think they did her character justice. They talked about her for a whole game without showing her face. On top of that, we had to wait 4 years to finally see her in person. In my opinion, it paid off.

[@kwamekuma360]

2:06 I always found it disturbing how Tyr/Odin menacingly stares at Kratos after leaving the light of alfhiem

[@LuxBellator92]

One of the early clever nods that Tyr was never really Tyr, but Odin in disguise. Because Odin is so desperate to know and understand everything, it must have been eating away at him in that moment to not out himself and attack Kratos for what he knew and saw within the Light.

[@KaptainKuba]

yeah it was cool how he interrupted Atreus to aks "WHAT DID YOU SEE?!!" @luxbellator92 said, it was one of the moments Odin slipped up

[@JeffMyname-i1x]

I think that the light might be manipulating people into entering it by using their past and memory and maybe getting them trapped inside of it, just like we saw in 2018 God of war Helheim with Zeus. You might ask if thats so then why did Tyr and Artreus not hear voices from the Light? I could ask the same about Mimir in Hel.

[@cantwatchbelle8182]

thats actually a great theory! It could be that light of Alfeim can make a person trapped in time, as we saw in gow4, seconds for Kratos in the light was a long time for artreus. Maybe the deeper person goes in the light chasing something from their memory, the more trapped they become. So, if thats true, Kratos might have really thought he was about to see Faye, which the Light used to manipulate him, but he got saved by Artreus from getting forever trapped in the Light.

[@LuxBellator92]

I like these theories. It recontextualises the Light as this primeval predatory source. Something that 'feeds' off its victims; to what end, we cannot say. It would help with the recontextualisation in this universe too that the Dark Elves weren't the bad guys, but instead victims that escaped their own personal hell -- something the Light Elves are still trapped in.

[@JeffMyname-i1x]

[@LuxBellator92]

[@KaptainKuba]

Exactly! after what the Bivggvir said it completely changes our benevolent view of the light. Something tried to trap Kratos in there

[@neos606]

I think you might be forgetting a small detail You remember how the axe returns to kratos ? If am not mistaken its because it got the soul of someone from his past I like to believe its a part of faye soul thats in his axe just like fenrir was in atreus dagger Maybe if a soul isnt complete it stays in the light with its own mind And since kratos didnt go inside with the axe it didnt get complete yet We can even go further and theorise that the light is somehow a gate to the higher plane or a source of its power Souls inside of it simply become energy for higher plane gods But since faye soul isnt complete she stayed awake inside the light and past to the higher plane Yes am one of those who believe higher plane of existance is gonna come at some point as a reel important of the story

[@KaptainKuba]

I honestly didnt think so many people remembered the theory about Faye's soul being inside the axe. I'll do a follow up

[@neos606]

@@KaptainKuba i think it can also be really interesting a video about how differwnt the souls are in each mythology (how in norse its seperated while in greek its one part) Idk it might lead to some really good crazy theories about why the death of norse gods dont have as much consequences on the world as the greek ones

[@Zikron7]

Maybe a reason why Atreus isn't able to hear Faye in Ragnarök anymore is that spreading her ashes in the end of God of War (2018) did something, we did see some kind of magic happening there.

[@LuxBellator92]

Brilliant video, Kuba! I'm even more fascinated by the Light of Alfheim now and how you recontextualise it as this primeval and hidden, predatory force.

[@virtual_bomber5698]

That roll into the cutscene made me giggle a little bit.

[@mackson1380]

3:02 the English lyrics to the song are “grant him space. Broken is his spirit. Soon you’ll see he’ll trust in you.” But one thing that I noticed was that in the actual scene itself the song is cut before Faye can say the line “he’ll trust in you” leaving us at “soon you’ll see” which could be the developers trying to get us to theorize on what or who was actually singing? Idk just a thought could just be me over examining the scene.

[@paulmoore4653]

Story changes happened with the characters to like Odin was described as intimidating villain in 2018 then him having the mask in ragnarok

[@LuxBellator92]

I still think an argument is to be made that the Odin we see in Ragnarok is still the fierce tyrant Mimir describes in 2018. Don't forget, Odin is written to be basically a medieval mob-boss; the 'Godfather' of Asgard. He is this vicious person, but because he is a master manipulator and holds an iron fist over his subjects that demands loyalty, he is able to portray this image of a gentler figure to Atreus (and also to Kratos at first when he initially shows up). But because people like Kratos can see right through him in a way that Atreus initially can't at first, he isn't able to manipulate the former as easily as he did Kratos' son. All of this is evident in the way he immediately sicks Thor on Kratos like an attack dog without even batting an eye. That IS menace and intimidation, but it's a lot more subtle than the stark brute force of a character like Thor. It's actually quite brilliant writing for a character like Odin, that makes him similar to Zeus but also quite different.

[@TheToobNube]

8:12 I remember commenting on another video regarding a theory I had very similar to what you just said. That in the bvery beginning of the 2018 game, the cremation process had Faye's ashes inhaled by Atreus and Kratos, so you have parts of her that are with them from now on. Or her ashes on them (the same way Kratos is white from the ashes of his previous family)

[@KaptainKuba]

Well that's an interesting observation. Never thought about her that way

[@TAG_8118]

Maybe some parts of Faye soul is in the Axe. Even in the God of war 2018 after baldur fight kratos is tired and crawling to the house and then said "Faye" at the same time he called for the Axe to return to his hand. It was like kratos calling Faye and the Axe came back to him.

[@KaptainKuba]

I'll have to do a follow up with that old Leviathan Axe theory

[@ionixknight]

I'd like to say a part of Faye is in the axe

[@Shree_Hari5]

My Theory is : Inside the light just like the Chaos realm this is the oppsite realm where the True God or the Good God who want defeat the demiurge are trying to communicate with Kratos to bring him to their side. Thats why mostly Pure characters go into this light or are attracted by it like the giants,like Atreas and even kratos.

[@Dutch_van_der_Linde_1899]

Kratos also talks about the light and he states that he was stuck but Atreus faced great odds to save him. So I presume that the light is what we call a fake paradise. Or maybe it functions like Valhalla, because Brok said once in GOW 2018 that the light is good, but it wasn't for Kratos, so could it be that the light coresponds to the souls of people, it was good with Brok because he was a good guy and it was bad (probably fatal) with Kratos because he is bad?

[@danieljamesfarquharson8421]

The next game should carry the return of Athena in the higher plane of existence who has corrupted the daughter of the God of War. Artreus must journey with his ageing father across the pantheons in hope of saving his estranged sister.

[@ZarrarTheLegendary]

maybe its the leviathen axe since faye's soul or part of her soul is in it if I remember right

[@NapoleonBorn2Party]

I think the light of Alfheim was trying to claim Kratos and Faye’s souls since they are both technically dead

[@mhamadkhalid9348]

Cory has to answer a lot

[@mournvil22]

Another comment I think that the light of elfhiem is trying to swallow Kratos maybe it reacted like that because Kratos still has some power of hope left in him and it's attracted to the power of hope and not kratos or could it have some relation to kratos previous family for all we know calliope is also part god what if it was her trying to guide Kratos to the right path and helping better his relationship with her younger brother Or it could also have connection to Pandora because she was from Greece but she wasn't human god Titan or anything she was just a life what if it was her guiding Kratos? I'm not sure but I am getting interested in the light of elfhiem after watching this video

[@KaptainKuba]

It's an interesting theory but I'm not sure how we could connect the Greek after life with the light of Alfheim

[@gwaponino]

​@@KaptainKuba Pandora having connections to it makes sense to me but then again I have not played norse games not do I know anything about norse so if elfhiem is older then the destruction of Greece then my theory is untrue but if it isn't then my theory could be true

[@micaellanoeric4122]

there is still some region kratos didn't visit yet, that light is one of it but how i say? it's full of illusion? and then the deepest realm of helheim, and the other realm they can just make more new path. and also a story to bring back sindri, thor, and meeting zeus again? and maybe athena? while atreus go finding giants and then trapped in the egypt or aztec pantheon so kratos have to go save his son? there is still a lot of story that can be used next.

[@oklik6864]

Maybe this doesn't have any sense, but do you think in a way if that is Faye "trying" to warn Kratos about Tyr(Odin) !?

[@adigorm]

8:13 i think a part of Faye soul may be in the Leviathan axe (based on an older theory), it sounds stupid for me to think "a part of her soul went inside Kratos and Atreus"

[@KaptainKuba]

You're not gonna believe me but this whole video started when I wanted to revisit that old theory of Faye's soul, gonna have to do a follow up

[@leebrown5398]

Way out there, but it kinda reminds me of the driving force of Xu , trying to be reunited with his dead wife in Shang-Chi & Legend of 10 Rings. Don't know what's hiding in the light & trying to get out...

[@wajahatali557]

Hi Kuba 1.Calliope is a wife of Apollo in actual mythology 2.There is famous Greek story about Calisto and his father King lycaon (the first werewolf) 3.

[@GriffinWalker-mz4lk]

Something tells me that Faye’s soul is connected to the Leviathan Axe 🪓

[@JeremiahWiebe]

I just had a theory I think since Brock was blue maybe part of him was also a part of the light and Alheim

[@AHarp]

Mortals go to the Light of Alfheim after they die as well. In GOW 18 When Kratos and Atreas meet Freya for the first time, Atreas tells her that his mother "is in the Light of Alfheim now". But this was before he knew that his mother was a Jotnar. He as well as Kratos believed her to be human. So if that's so, why would he assume she is in the Light? Just saying.

[@oldman5247]

Honestly, I’m just gonna wait until we get the next game in the series. It’s fun to theorize about what a new God of War game will look like. Yet at the same time most theories about a new addition to any franchise. Usually ends up being wrong. Personally I would love either an Egyptian based God of War game with Kratos being the main character. Or hear me out, another Norse God of War game. Where he truly becomes the Norse God of War. Defending Northern Europe from the encroaching Roman gods who end up being the reincarnated souls. Of the older Greek Gods!

[@BrandenoidDestroyer]

But someone of giant lineage would have to recite the words to put parts of themselves inside the Kratos & Atreus, the way Fenrirs soul was put in the knive.

[@jiteshjaisinghani7949]

The fact that freya told kratos not to enter the light of alfheim in God of War 2018 indicates that she might have known the addictive properties of light and so she was stopping him from entering it.

[@EDL77]

Kuba, I had a question for you a few months ago. "Do you think Kratos' Godly Powers are still inside the Blade of Olympus?" Please make a video about this. Frankly; I think the powers are still within the blade. In GOW 3, Kratos fell into the River Styx and lost his powers. But the Blade of Olympus falls in a different place. Not to the River Styx. Which means maybe they're inside the Blade. We need Kratos' Powers. He must be stronger and have different abilities. It's not just his weapon skills and brute strength. Because the Egyptian gods are so many and so powerful. Kratos cannot fight them with his brute strength. Maybe SMS will use this in the next game. Kratos will use the Blade and get his powers back in the next main GOW. What are you thinking?

[@KaptainKuba]

Kratos got the powers from the blade in GOW 2, the game just didn't do a good job a showing it. I might make a short explaining why. Thanks for the question!

It's because you say your opinions, give tips, and stuff that makes your reactions good. Fun fact: When you first reacted to my video and all my friends saw that your reaction had 1.5k views, they told me, "Kaptain stole your views," to which I replied, "He improved my video. He made my video reach more people, and more people found out about the difference between the grave diggers because of him. He also inspired me to make a part 2." And they couldn't counter that.
