It’s a sentiment echoed by other characters like Brok and Sidri too. Just as you’re done scattering Faye’s ashes in Jotunheim, Mimir suggests that Kratos and Atreus may have brought about the end of the world or Ragnarok as it’s known in Norse mythology ahead by 100 winters. God of War brings forward Ragnarok by 100 winters Including a blink and you miss scrawl that suggests the end of Kratos and Atreus by a mysterious being. And yes, it’s also revealed that Faye was a giant who, judging by the writings in Jotunheim, prophesied all of what came to pass. Kratos explains that Loki was the name his wife and Atreus’ mother Faye wanted, before eventually settling on Atreus - in honour of a fallen comrade of Kratos from his days as a Spartan soldier. When Kratos and Atreus finally reach Jotunheim - the world of giants - they notice that all which had come to pass was inscribed on the walls of the realm. If Atreus being responsible for Baldur’s death wasn’t enough, akin to the events in Norse mythology wherein Loki orchestrated Baldur’s demise, the game drives the point home further on. God of War ending: Atreus is Loki and his mother is a giant Perhaps plotting her revenge for the next game? When you’re done with the game, you can visit Freya’s abode but she won’t be there anymore. This ends with Freya cursing Kratos for all eternity. Kratos spares his life after a prolonged battle but chokes him to death after Baldur tries to kill Freya (for inflicting him with the invulnerability that robbed him of any sense of feeling for so long). Towards the end, Baldur punches Atreus in the very spot where the mistletoe is, breaking the spell and rendering him mortal.
On meeting Freya, she says they’re dangerous without explaining why, and burns them save for a small piece that Kratos tied to Atreus’ quiver harness to keep it from breaking, which goes unnoticed. Kratos kills Baldur but it’s Atreus who is responsibleĮarly on, Atreus receives mistletoe arrows from dwarf merchant Sindri, as a reward for saving his life from a gigantic dragon. In the game, all of this is simply reduced to the vagaries of Vanir magic. This lapse ends up leading to his demise. In Norse mythology, this is because Freya makes every object in the world swear an oath not to harm her son, except the humble mistletoe. Throughout the game, Baldur is invincible, and he isn’t fond of it, despite shrugging off entire sections of rock thrown at him and surviving having his neck snapped by Kratos. Presented as a mysterious stranger impervious to Kratos' attacks at the game's beginning, it's later learned from other characters that he is indeed Baldur. While his motives are unclear for most part, Mimir says that Odin may have tricked Baldur into thinking that squaring off against Kratos is the only way for him to feel anything - pain or pleasure. Unbeknownst to her, Baldur is out to kill Kratos. She heals Atreus, brings Mimir back from the dead, and is also Baldur's mother. The witch from the game's trailers is Freya. Much like Norse mythology, God of War’s fiction ties these two characters together. His son Baldur wants Kratos dead and chases after him (that is, you) and Atreus for most of the game.īaldur is the mysterious stranger, Freya is the witch and they’re both related Or there's the time he charmed, wooed, and married Vanir deity Freya to enhance his knowledge of Vanir magic, only to cast her to Midgard in exile once he learned what he needed. For instance, your ally Mimir tells you of the time he hanged himself in order to die and walk the land of the dead until he was thrown out and brought back to life - just to learn the secrets of death. And while he’s not present, every character knows of him and their conversations give you an insight into his personality - a mix of curiosity and ruthlessness drives him.
The Norse God is the one pulling the strings behind the events of this game.
