I mean, it is kinda stunning. Kratos's legend is as a ruiner of gods and things touched by gods. He has shown not an ounce of care or empathy towards anything before ripping it in half, he's killed his own flesh and blood multiple times, and his rage, pride, and self-righteousness has proven insurmountable. Even then, he wears the shame of his former self pretty plainly throughout this game. The last thing i would expect out of Kratos, past or present day, would be owning up to his son what he's done and telling Atrius that what he did, and what Baldur attempted, was wrong. He's not trying to destroy something by doing this, as expected of "The Ghost of Sparta" or "The God of War", he's trying to cultivate peace. Pretty wild move for someone who nearly ended the world with his quest for vengeance.

Notice the difference. Zeus says "The cycle ends here. You will never be the ruler of Olympus." Zeus didn't care about the evil of the cycle, only about whether or not it affected him personally. Kratos on the other hand says "The cycle ends here. We must be better than this." Kratos is actually concerned about the evil of the cycle itself, not just wanting to prevent it from making him suffer personally. Kratos actually wants to break the cycle, and be something better than what came before. This is the reason why Kratos quoting Zeus isn't just for show, it means that Kratos learned a valuable lesson that Zeus never did.

He doesn't want his son to inherit his rage (which, unfortunately, it seems he has) or his tendencies for destruction and wholesale slaughter. That is what Kratos fears more than anything, perhaps even the *only* thing he fears, his son becoming the same monster he is, or worse. To quote Yoda: "We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all Masters." And that's Kratos's duty as a father, to make sure his son grows to be a better man than he, to learn from his fathers failures and not repeat the mistakes he made.

Among Baldur's final words, "You could've walked away", was an echoed sentiment Baldur himself could've done.

But he chose to to pursue a now pointless vengeance and forced Kratos to uphold his oath of debt to Freya by saving her life. Baldur's prophesied needless death was one of his own making.

His eyes tighten up with anger, possibly thinking about his past with the Greek Gods, what they did, and how badly he wanted to kill them. But then, he stops for a moment, thinking about all the innocent people that died as a cause of his war with the gods and himself, and how many lives he took, wether directly or indirectly, and then you see his eyes change, being remorseful of everything he's done. And then says, "And many who were not." The attention to detail and emotional weight in his eyes...on just one scene... It's amazing

From many comments, it's apparent Freya is somewhat misunderstood. First, it's useful to know that in the actual mythology, Baldr is a truly benevolent god (much moreso than Odin and Thor), beautiful of countenance and beloved by nearly everyone. In this game's story-verse, it's implied that Baldr _used_ to be this way, before his cursed invulnerability drove him to madness and hate. And Freya cannot forget how he used to be. In her mind, he will always be her pure, innocent son. Second, is the precise reason Freya used her magic to make Baldr invulnerable -- it wasn't only out of misguided love, it was also explicitly an attempt to prevent Ragnarok, as it was prophecied that Baldr's death would be the tipped domino which leads to it. Freya is just as afraid of Ragnarok as Odin, as the event kills most of the Vanir gods, too (her family, in Vanaheim). The gods own actions ironically creating the outcome they were specifically trying to prevent is a common theme of Norse mythology, and the Ragnarok story arc in particular. The Norse were a fatalistic people by nature, and their stories reflect that.

The best part is after the scene altogether, it’s when Kratos says he would let Atreus kill him if it meant Atreus would survive. Kratos made that choice to kill Baldur, save Freya and stop a cycle of parentcide because Baldur wasn’t his son. He saw the pattern on another family and decided to end that. But in the end not even Kratos could make that choice if it was between him and Atreus, he would do the same as Freya. This is hands down one of the best sequences in videogame history, the acting from every actor is top notch (Kratos’ monologue, Atreus’ questioning and Freya’s cursing were full of emotion, specially the “You robbed me of everything”) and the writing has so much depth. Bravo, Santa Monica.

This is one of my favorite scenes, because you know Freya is both angry and terrified. She looks at Kratos and first sees her sons killer: then, after all her threats, Kratos brushes it away and says that he, a god, killed his father. The gods parents are normally much stronger than the child, as Zeus technically was stronger than Kratos, and in that moment Freya knew: no matter what threats she threw, no matter what she did, she couldn’t scare him. He had literally stared death in the face countless times and won in the staring contest. He had killed the Greek god of death. He was not a full god, but the lengths he could go to, his pure skill, and his sheer power were unmatched by any that she had seen. I feel that this was the first time that Freya stopped seeing Kratos, the lying god of a father, and began seeing Kratos, the most powerful and threatening being in all the realms

@hotpockets22245 жыл бұрын
Baldur killing Freya would only temporarily make him happy. Kratos killed Baldur in order to spare him from the despair that would soon take hold of him, as it once did Kratos. He's been down that path and knows the only solution is to kill Baldur out of Mercy. Freya is too blind to see that, what Kratos did, was the only logical choice, as Baldur was beyond the point of reason. Freya always tried to delay the prophecy but ended up making things worse for Baldur. She told Kratos that ultimately she did everything for her self and didn't realize until Baldur was alienated, but letting him kill her is taking the easy way out, and doing the exact same thing, as she will be dead without having the guilt and Baldur will (presumably) be happy. But, as we have seen through Kratos and Zeus, that would not be the case, as despair, self-blame, anger, hopelessness, etc. would take hold of him and make his life if not more, as miserable as it was before.

It’s actually amazing that they expand the original mythology from what it is. Kronos killed his father Uranus to have the throne. Zeus then killed Kronos in return. And now, in GoW, they expand into Kratos killed Zeus and mirrored it into Baldur tried to kill his mother. Kratos has seen enough of this cycle. That’s why he wants it to end here, to have his son walking on a different path than his. And Kratos as well knew very well of Baldur which was why he killed him.

I had my mind blown by that when I was replaying GoW 2 (in preparation for GoW 2018 being on PC). Like, I had the sudden realization when I heard Zeus saying, "You will never rule Olympus. The Cycle ends here.". It was simply so smart from the writers, because it made Zeus' fear much more believable, and even more ironic, because the last thing Kratos had in mind was ruling Olympus.

Yeah, but that's the response expected of most children. They only see Kratos as a badass god killer who could most certainly kill Freya. And Freya is the bad mom who drove her son mad. The finer nuances of the characters and story are lost on them. Despite the grievances Freya committed against her son, she did them out of love for him. She loved him too much. It was wrong what she did, and she is responsible, but her grief and anger are natural responses. I'd question her character if she didn't react the way she did. If she'd just said, "Well, guess that's that. I can make another one I guess," and went home after seeing her son killed, she'd had gone from a parent who made awful mistakes out of love for her child, to a terrible, evil mother who probably deserved to be killed by her son. Living with the fact she caused her child's demise is going to be a worse punishment than death. And she knows Kratos is right. You see that when she pauses to say something to him before she leaves, then just walks away.
@nahalastone80272 жыл бұрын
You know, this is complete conjecture on my part and a total long shot, but I just realized that maybe Baldur's last word might be more meaningful than we think. He falls to the ground, staring with eyes wide into the middle distance as they pool with blood, and just says: "Snow..." Well, in the aftermath of the game after Kratos and Atreus spread Faye's ashes and return to Midgard from Jotunheim, Mimir warns them that: "the snowfall that *began when you slayed Baldur* has become something more, the stuff...of omens." And proceeds to tell them of Fimbulwinter being the first sign of imminent Ragnarok. Kratos even makes an incredulous remark about it. "Ragnarok. From snow?" to which Mimir replies: "Aye, snow. Then more snow. And then the end of the bloody world, in that exact order." Maybe, just maybe as Baldur lays there dying, drawing his last breath he has that same realization while witnessing the first snowflakes fall marking the end of days. Or maybe he just says "Snow..." because he's enraptured with feeling cold after 100 years of senselessness, just my rambling theories.

Fauxpikachu Of course you'd be speechless cuz the guy u just threatened is actually the Ghost of Sparta that marched through olympus killing everyone good or bad lmao. that's why she just shut her filthy ass mouth.
I started crying when I saw this whole scene
I mean, it is kinda stunning. Kratos's legend is as a ruiner of gods and things touched by gods. He has shown not an ounce of care or empathy towards anything before ripping it in half, he's killed his own flesh and blood multiple times, and his rage, pride, and self-righteousness has proven insurmountable. Even then, he wears the shame of his former self pretty plainly throughout this game. The last thing i would expect out of Kratos, past or present day, would be owning up to his son what he's done and telling Atrius that what he did, and what Baldur attempted, was wrong. He's not trying to destroy something by doing this, as expected of "The Ghost of Sparta" or "The God of War", he's trying to cultivate peace. Pretty wild move for someone who nearly ended the world with his quest for vengeance.
@wιѕegυy that was all covered in the part where he said he killed many undeserving.
Cowardly Lion But Freya has one trump card, and that is the fact that Kratos eventually knows she’s the real Queen of the Valkyries who betrayed the other nine.
"You robbed me of everything!" No, you robbed Baldur of everything. Kratos was the first and only to show Baldur true mercy and grant his one, deepest wish.
That is quite true

Its truly the moment where Kratos becomes a new man. He was changing throughout the game, but that was the moment where he really said to himself "Enough is enough."
" We *MUST* be better, who i was is *NOT* who you will be " damnn this game have so many moral lessons
Franky Joee and Kratos is a living example of a old wise man who did none but wrong in the past and is trying to do good.
Legend of Link none of this would happen if the gods of olympus erased his nightmare memories that haunts him. Ares tricked Kratos into murdering his wife & daughter, then the gods said they couldn't forget the terrible deeds he had done. the gods played him, so they deserve his wrath to olympus
Seeing that coming from a God of War game I am beyond surprised.
Too bad it may not stick, if the ending has anything to say about it...
Nah, most Olympians betrayed Kratos, and not only them but Gaia as well. Not saying Kratos didn't overdo it with the whole "vengeance" thing, but the fault was bigger than just two gods
Notice the difference. Zeus says "The cycle ends here. You will never be the ruler of Olympus." Zeus didn't care about the evil of the cycle, only about whether or not it affected him personally. Kratos on the other hand says "The cycle ends here. We must be better than this." Kratos is actually concerned about the evil of the cycle itself, not just wanting to prevent it from making him suffer personally. Kratos actually wants to break the cycle, and be something better than what came before. This is the reason why Kratos quoting Zeus isn't just for show, it means that Kratos learned a valuable lesson that Zeus never did.
The moment kratos saw the writing saying “for when gods are good” he switched to his way of thinking believing there needs to be a perfound change and more than likely doesn’t see himself as part of this world he will help his son create
I think you've got the right conclusion for the wrong reason. I don't think he's thought it through to that level. My own interpretation was that he simply wanted Atreus to avoid the same life of constant war and pain he himself lived through. Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant and we're actually on the same page, but this was my take.
@@aliciagrayson4203 yeah thats what I mean I think he just realized he can’t let gods keeping doing this becuase it’s not the world he wants for his son and it’s also his sons goal to make gods good people
@@aliciagrayson4203 It's more than that. He wants a better life for Atreus, yes, but he also wants Atreus to learn from the mistakes he made and be a better man, a better God, than he was. He doesn't want his son to inherit his rage (which, unfortunately, it seems he has) or his tendencies for destruction and wholesale slaughter. That is what Kratos fears more than anything, perhaps even the *only* thing he fears, his son becoming the same monster he is, or worse. To quote Yoda: "We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all Masters." And that's Kratos's duty as a father, to make sure his son grows to be a better man than he, to learn from his fathers failures and not repeat the mistakes he made.
@@Bshaqisopr That was over a thousand years ago and people are allowed to change for the better. Besides he even has a new voice actor *PROOF* he's a new man.
Among Baldur's final words, "You could've walked away", was an echoed sentiment Baldur himself could've done. His curse was lifted and he could've lived his life to the fullest now, even reforge a relationship with his mother. But he chose to to pursue a now pointless vengeance and forced Kratos to uphold his oath of debt to Freya by saving her life. Baldur's prophesied needless death was one of his own making.
Never thought of it that way. You make a fantastic point!

Freya calls out Kratos, he just shrugs and tells Atreus that he's done some shit. The dude is incorruptible.
After being into the depths of Hades TWICE, in Hel once and killed an entire pantheon, you can bet you can't just have Kratos with threats and call-outs.
Bruh , his development in this game is amazing. He said it himself no more secrets with his son
There are a lot of things far worse than killing Zeus in his past. Hell, he didn't even mention his family! He is afraid of Atreus becoming like him so in order to influence his son he wants and needs to look like a good guy, that way Atreus will follow his advices and won't lose hope.
@@Haki145 but as it turns out maybe showing Atreus that his father isn't or hasn't always been the good guy and has made a lot of mistakes in his youth may just show Atreus that his father knows what he's talking about. while also showing Atreus that if Kratos can at least attempt to be better then Atreus isn't doomed to the same mistakes.
@@emoteen011 that is true but, Kratos does not want his son to ever look up to the man he hates the most. Kratos hates himself more than anyone else and this can be reflected throughout the whole series.
Zeus said this cause of fear. Kratos said this cause of own painful experience
Well also experience because Zeus had to enslave his own father, a former titan that's why Zeus said that cycle ends there. But freya could always bring back baldur with some ancient magic or baldur could escape hell like kratos did.
@@joserubenmendoza9570 if you go back to freya's house mimir will say that while he was brought back by Freya he's still very much dead and just slowly deteriorating and that's just his head. Mimir also voices how freya wouldn't want to bring back baldur so he could suffer with his undead body.
@@KhepriProductions2022 I have a feeling he'll live a happier life being undead than being an unkillable god who feels nothing.
I feel like Kratos said it because he realized Zeus was right. Kratos and Zeus were simple links in a long chain of selfish, vengeful, devastating patricide. Zeus was just wrong about how to break the cycle
Well, you could say they're both responses of fear: Zeus feared that Kratos would threaten his position as the king of olympus if he didn't act. Kratos feared Baldur would turn out like the spartan's past self if he didn't act.

@@DeathG64 i think he actually says "Snow" because killing him causes fimbulwinter which starts Ragnarök
I love how, when he says, "I killed many who were deserving." His eyes tighten up with anger, possibly thinking about his past with the Greek Gods, what they did, and how badly he wanted to kill them. But then, he stops for a moment, thinking about all the innocent people that died as a cause of his war with the gods and himself, and how many lives he took, wether directly or indirectly, and then you see his eyes change, being remorseful of everything he's done. And then says, "And many who were not." The attention to detail and emotional weight in his eyes...on just one scene... It's amazing
I'm happy there's someone who noticed and appreciates that scene!
it's amazing that video games have advanced so much that we can notice such a tiny detail like this
He also killed many people who were undeserving with his OWN hands and no remorse either.

Doesn’t that make him an awful villain lmao
Logan Williams kratos is a hypocrite though
Mustache Man quite the contrary, it makes him a very strong one
Ballivares O I disagree Kratos killed Baldur to prevent him from ending up like he did. That's why he mentioned "ending the cycle" and earlier tried to reason with Baldur that killing his mother wouldn't help him.

When you kill enough you know what must be done.
From many comments, it's apparent Freya is somewhat misunderstood. First, it's useful to know that in the actual mythology, Baldr is a truly benevolent god (much moreso than Odin and Thor), beautiful of countenance and beloved by nearly everyone. In this game's story-verse, it's implied that Baldr _used_ to be this way, before his cursed invulnerability drove him to madness and hate. And Freya cannot forget how he used to be. In her mind, he will always be her pure, innocent son. Second, is the precise reason Freya used her magic to make Baldr invulnerable -- it wasn't only out of misguided love, it was also explicitly an attempt to prevent Ragnarok, as it was prophecied that Baldr's death would be the tipped domino which leads to it. Freya is just as afraid of Ragnarok as Odin, as the event kills most of the Vanir gods, too (her family, in Vanaheim). The gods own actions ironically creating the outcome they were specifically trying to prevent is a common theme of Norse mythology, and the Ragnarok story arc in particular. The Norse were a fatalistic people by nature, and their stories reflect that.
In the lore of God of war, didn't Odin already kill or enslave all the Vanir? So isn't it a little late for that?
Same sort of thing as in Ascension: there was some sort of prophesy about the God of War taking olympus, and Ares planned to use Kratos as his weapon to take olympus for himself, but kratos ending up killing Ares, becoming the god of war, and taking olympus himself. Or something like that, I'm fuzzy on the details. "No, you can't kill ares! The god of war must take the throne" or something like that.
@@hamishwalker9637 Apparently many of the Vanir are still alive (in this story-universe), specifically thanks to Freya marrying Odin as a political arrangement, thus ending the war between the Vanir and Aesir. The first game was vague on what's happened with Vanir-Aesir relations after Odin and Freya separated, but the fact that Freya effectively remains a political hostage in Midgard suggests the truce holds.
A prophecy is just the most obscure way of telling you what is going to happen.
In the end all gods die. And you are left with the dying world we occupy in fruitless apathy.
Freya only knows WHAT Kratos is, not WHO. Otherwise she would speak with more care.
Dontae N Jones That's why after Kratos revealed that he is the Ghost of Sparta, Freya didn't say a word and just walked away lmao. Yes, Freya. U just threatened the godkiller lmao u fucked up big time.
Freya: Ok I'll take back on what I said.
y'all talkin like we still in god of war 3 lmao. he is nothing like the raging maniac he used to be.
Josh R No, but even Mimir directly calls Kratos the "Ghost of Sparta", though granted, Mimir knows everything. I would almost suspect Freya to have at least heard the rumors of the Greek godkiller.
Freya can't harm anything anyway. But she can run back to Odin and with a common enemy with such power Odin may lift the curse on her. If that's the case she'll make for an insane enemy since she's the goddess of beauty and magic.
I'd choose my words carefully Freya. a number of Gods have made similar threats to Kratos. and they're all dead now, don't go throwing away the life he saved.
he's a different man now though granted if she goes against him he won't hold back.
Kratos is a pussy in this game
Wolfgang Trixl actually he's a changed person in this game. The whole point was seeing how Kratos was able to control the rage he couldn't back in the first three games.
Wolfgang Trixl no he wants to be better than the monster he was in the previous games.
Doesn't change the fact that he is weak af in this game and that is what kind of takes away the essence of god of war. Still a great game, but I wish it was more brutal and satisfying. I mean to just snap Baldurs neck in the end after he had annoyed you for the whole game is just unsatisfying and frustrating for a god of war game. The only satisfying kill in the whole game is in my opinion the one where you kill the dragon.
The most underrated line here is “She could never make that choice” It really tied everything together for me
Literally as a mother and because she's cursed and unable to harm anyone Isn't she? I heard things- I haven't watched tooooo much of this God of war game.
The best part is after the scene altogether, it’s when Kratos says he would let Atreus kill him if it meant Atreus would survive. Kratos made that choice to kill Baldur, save Freya and stop a cycle of parentcide because Baldur wasn’t his son. He saw the pattern on another family and decided to end that. But in the end not even Kratos could make that choice if it was between him and Atreus, he would do the same as Freya. This is hands down one of the best sequences in videogame history, the acting from every actor is top notch (Kratos’ monologue, Atreus’ questioning and Freya’s cursing were full of emotion, specially the “You robbed me of everything”) and the writing has so much depth. Bravo, Santa Monica.
@@nathandias6771 Well the difference is that Freya obsessed over her son and took away everything from him. He was nothing but a husk who couldn't die or feel literally anything. Kratos wouldn't subject Atreus to a horrible life full of agony. He understands that he wouldn't be able to kill his son either, but he also understands that he's not going to be the reason why it comes to that, unlike both Zeus and Freya.
@@nathandias6771 I was a bit confused by that scene although I loved everything else about it. Kratos ends others' cycle, he sees himself in them. I didn't understand why he intervened, it was their problem. Did he see himself in Baldur? Did he think he'd go on a rampage against the gods?
Ghost, what do you mean? I still don't understand what it meant. What choice? She never wanted to kill Baldur.
"You could have walked away" Exactly. He could have walked away, like his father Zeus did. Instead, Kratos killed Baldur on the spot, to make sure he doesn't come back. *From the mistakes of the fathers, we learn to not repeat history*
Atreus be like: _so this is how i'll kill my dad soon_
It also helps that Baldur could've walked away at that point, as well.
If the writers kill of kratos, he will escape hell, escape the animation and kill off the writers. So they're careful and only hint his death haha

Punish. Demolish. Torture. Stab Do whatever you want to Kratos. Any power they can use. Kratos can still take those god hits like a champ and still bash the heads of gods like they're nothing.
"Is this what it is to be a God?." That was so powerful to me the first time hearing it. Every story, every mythology, any whatever with Godly beings is always always filled with tragedy. Almost as if they are hand in hand with each other.
Like Osiris?
Gods are like us the only difference is they can't change.
This is what makes Polytheisms engaging and relevant; they are tragedies with no conclusion, in which the Rulers of the Universe are equally as flawed as humans. By acknowledging this, we can take their example; both in what should, and should NOT, be done. The Gods are timeless and unchanging, and their existence is not a happy one. But we can perhaps make something today that was slightly better than all our Yesterdays.

TheDestroyerOfWorldss AndOtherVariousThings they are already planning the sequel
This is one of my favorite scenes, because you know Freya is both angry and terrified. She looks at Kratos and first sees her sons killer: then, after all her threats, Kratos brushes it away and says that he, a god, killed his father. The gods parents are normally much stronger than the child, as Zeus technically was stronger than Kratos, and in that moment Freya knew: no matter what threats she threw, no matter what she did, she couldn’t scare him. He had literally stared death in the face countless times and won in the staring contest. He had killed the Greek god of death. He was not a full god, but the lengths he could go to, his pure skill, and his sheer power were unmatched by any that she had seen. I feel that this was the first time that Freya stopped seeing Kratos, the lying god of a father, and began seeing Kratos, the most powerful and threatening being in all the realms
Damn, missed opportunity to say "Freya stopped seeing Kratos, the lying god of a father, and began seeing Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta and the God of War".
I don't see the fear. Just hated and sorrow.
Don't forget that the first god in GoW3 Kratos kills was POSEIDON. FUCKING *POSEIDON.* The second strongest god in greek mithology. At that point it was clear the other gods had no chance. Also if Athena didn't step in in the final fight against Zeus in GoW2, Zeus would've probably died. Not even Kratos could kill Kratos, too.
@@comradethegreat3599 Zeus can't die just by the blade alone. He fucking brings his soul or whatever that is back to his body when Kratos stabbed him. 😂 The flame of olympus is the only thing atleast in this game can kill Zeus.

Same words but completely different. In the past they killed to save themselves. This time Kratos killed to save another. Time has changed him for the better.
he directly quotes him because zeus mentions the "cycle", Zeus and kratos are talking about the cycle of sons killing their parents. kratos saying what he said can be a reference to what Zeus told him in GOW2. In many mythologies Sons killing their parents is common as hell lol
Kratos has killed to save others
That "Then you don't know me" it's more powerful than what it seems, Kratos knew he was an horrible person the whole journey, he didn't consider himself enough of a good person to call Atreus his son, even tho he loves him with every bit of his soul, is at this point of the trip that Kratos realizes that he can change, that he did change, that he can be better. And that's why he is able to say "then you don't know me" he finally internalizes that he is doesn't have to be defined by his past actions, or the past actions of others
Freya must not know who Kratos is, cause with every threat she listed, he's been through a hell of a lot worse and came out on top.

Freya is the symbolic representation of the archetype of the devouring mother.
There may be other reasons. Nordic mythology holds that Ragnarok begins when Baldur dies. Remember when Atreus asks Freya if she believes in Ragnarok, and she says “I dearly wish I didn’t, child.” Her weaving the spell on Baldur May have also been an attempt to prevent the apocalypse.

I love how the line is echoed with different meaning. When Zeus said it, he was protecting his own power out of fear of being other thrown like he did his own father, Cronos. It was for self-serving reasons. When Kratos said it, it was a call for the gods to start treating those they care about with respect and stop fucking each other over for selfish, petty reasons.

Lorenz Zahn true. But could she have told Thor where he was though?
Kratos did kill Magi and Baldur. The Aesir will not take this lightly and hunt him down anyway.
Leroy Jenkins actually, that's only Kratos's wife, Faye's prediction. We never know what will really happen in the future, maybe Atreus will found out eventually about the propecised death and tried to find ways to save him? We will never know. As Kratos quotes at the end, "Her predictions still stands true to this point". Meaning that he, himself was not so sure about her wife's predictions, and anything could happen.
That hug at the end of the video is actually kind of nice. The fact that Freya walked away without another word spoken show that she was probably surprised by the actual earnestness in his words, also she got off incredibly light comparatively because remember Kratos at his worst could annihilate an entire civilization, just ask the Greeks oh wait they're dead nevermind.
Ummm, we never got confirmation on that. Greece is definately in ruins, but I don't think everyone is dead. A few gods are still alive since they stayed out of Kratos' way.
Box Tank! Killing Freya isn't a line Kratos will cross yet especially seeing how she has helped him and his son so much. However also consider if I'm mistaken Freya is also vanir meaning in the upcoming war against Odin and the Aesir she is technically a ally or could be

The civilization is definitely screwed, but there are still a few "greek" people. Or at least of greek descent.
Van Oskuro One of the series writers confirmed all Greek gods are dead, Kratos probably went after them in between GoW3 and this
4:29 Freya's thinking she should've done what Kratos was doing
That's exactly what I was thinking. Freya was acting in emotion at the moment. But hearing Kratos saying to Atreus that they "must be better than God's that were before". It's still powerfull line. Atreus was teacher to Kratos how to be a human. Not God. A family killing curse was still present when Atreus went "I'm a God" thing. And Freya probably see this here. Kratos changed, let go of his must of control and what might happen to him and his son. Masterpiece at its finest. And something that families all over world can learn from 😭

patrick watkins Ikr
patrick watkins It's been so long that I've played GoW 2. I forget why Zeus killed Kratos. Can you tell me?
he was paranoid that kratos was creating an army to take over olympus since kratos wasn't following orders and was just rampaging on the earth below.
And kratos was attacking the cities of the other gods, so that pissed him off too

This scene makes me cry. Would you let your son kill you if it would mean that he is finally happy? Freya would. I would. You would, if you love your children. Idk if what Kratos did was the right thing, but I know for sure, in Freya's world, he did the worst thing imaginable. The voice acting in this game is absolutely brilliant.
Baldur killing Freya would only temporarily make him happy. Kratos killed Baldur in order to spare him from the despair that would soon take hold of him, as it once did Kratos. He's been down that path and knows the only solution is to kill Baldur out of Mercy. Freya is too blind to see that, what Kratos did, was the only logical choice, as Baldur was beyond the point of reason. Freya always tried to delay the prophecy but ended up making things worse for Baldur. She told Kratos that ultimately she did everything for her self and didn't realize until Baldur was alienated, but letting him kill her is taking the easy way out, and doing the exact same thing, as she will be dead without having the guilt and Baldur will (presumably) be happy. But, as we have seen through Kratos and Zeus, that would not be the case, as despair, self-blame, anger, hopelessness, etc. would take hold of him and make his life if not more, as miserable as it was before.
I wouldn't I wouldn't love them that much
I mean not to long after this boss fight Kratos says to Atreus that if necessary. Kratos would let Atreus kill him if it meant that Atreus could live.
the paradox though. she loves him so much but she stays totally deaf to his wish to feel. she doesn’t care his happiness but she would die for his life. twisted mother
There is consequences to killing a god when Kratos massacred every god Greece was essentially destroyed killing Baldur starts the end of days sure but the destruction that would be caused by Killing Freya could have so many effects on Midgard it's absurd.
Playing this the second time and hearing him say "hmm...snow" that shit made me tear up. You don't really pay attention the first time, you just go with the mindset that this is a bad guy, good guy beat bad guy and all that but when you actually slow down and pay attention you actually feel empathy towards a character, also a great way of knowing someone put effort in to the story. By far one of my favorite games.
Baldur with his curse cannot feel anything, even the cold and snow around him, but in his dying breath he finally felt cold and the snow touching his body.
3:27 You actually see his expression change as he mentions the many deserving and the many undeserving. To think we're in an age of video games where a subtle change in a face or a gaze can be conveyed with computer graphics! Im guessing within the next generation, when the people to grow up without video games passes away, we are gonna see video games get recognized as art at the same level as movies, theatre and music
I truly believe this game is a masterpiece encompassing all the elements of past, present and future.
I wish people would stop trying to get videogames classified as art. The people you're trying to appeal to fucking hate you.
@@Shockguey so the general public hates people who play games? You do realize how dumb that sounds, right?
they already are. look at the award shows. the conventions. old people just dont understand
@@Shockguey at which point did you say "art community"? You said "the people you are trying to appeal to" which I pretty much think means the general public. No need to get angry
Freya: i will rain down every agony, every violation emaginable upon you.. Yeah but that Won't be enough though... lol
MegaCarsm and that includes ripping heads off of gods with his own bare hands and destroying everything. Just ask the Greeks...oh wait
He already been through it
kompak didn't she have a cast spelled on her that made it impossible for her to Use any violence or fighting against other??
Yeah, so the part where she declared that made me laugh a bit. She is unable to leave Midgard and is unable to harm anything, unless via proxy (like using the frost giant or summoning enemies in the fight with Baldur).
It doesn't matter.. i bet even if she would be released from her curse, spell or whatever , kratos would still find a way to destroy her. That's what he does.
Fun that, now with Ragnarok, Kratos quoted both Zeus and Faye with that line. "The cycle ends here" from when Zeus killed him back 2, then Faye says "We must be better than this" in the baby atreus flashback/dream in Ragnarok. Love that detail
2:54 "passing on your cruelty and rage, you'll never change" If only she knew, kratos has been holding back dramatically throughout this entire game. Kratos's cruelty and rage are things of legend 😂😂
It's even more scarier he's actually MORE STRONGER than during his god killing vengeance years
Kratos robbed you of everything? Baldur was going to rob you of everything, including your life.
Jeebus H. Christopher She would rather to die and let her son live happy , than live knowing her son is dead
Kylo mothafuckin Ren but if you think about it soon or later baldur would die anyways when he tries to get Loki/Atreous
Fruit Master Freya was at this moment too much focused on death of her son to realise that he will die sooner or later trying to kill Kratos
Even worse, Freya robbed Baldur from pretty much any physical experience AND talks about being robbed, so yeah
What can i say... She's a stupid woman, what did you expect?
Zeus : The cycle ends here Kratos : Nope Kratos come back to kill zeus. Years pass Kratos : The cycle end here Baldur : Nope?
Muhammad Amin He was inmortal and "came back" like 3 times from "death"
well... in norse mythology, Baldur really did die but he came back on the day of ragnarok just to die again hahaha
accoeding the game's myths Brok died from spider bite while forging the leviathan axe, Sentri then brought him to eifheim where he caught Brok's wisp from the river of soul and revived him, he then kept that story to himself. even though Freya can't leave midgard, the rest of the aesir can
In norse mythology, baldur will go to hell, and has a chance to resurrect, but Loki ruins it.
Cycle*
I love how when Kratos grabbed Baulder you can see the pain in his eyes, knowing that he has to do what comes next to protect Freya. And it was the outcome he was hoping to avoid.
It’s actually amazing that they expand the original mythology from what it is. Kronos killed his father Uranus to have the throne. Zeus then killed Kronos in return. And now, in GoW, they expand into Kratos killed Zeus and mirrored it into Baldur tried to kill his mother. Kratos has seen enough of this cycle. That’s why he wants it to end here, to have his son walking on a different path than his. And Kratos as well knew very well of Baldur which was why he killed him.
I had my mind blown by that when I was replaying GoW 2 (in preparation for GoW 2018 being on PC). Like, I had the sudden realization when I heard Zeus saying, "You will never rule Olympus. The Cycle ends here.". It was simply so smart from the writers, because it made Zeus' fear much more believable, and even more ironic, because the last thing Kratos had in mind was ruling Olympus.
Kratos: Balder you will not be another me.
No one is balder than Kratos.
Lol he won't be balder
Freya Odin and Thor Vs Kratos, Atreus, the giants and the world serpent god of war 5 gonna break records already
DASH X20 you forgot ..fire giant surtur ..the wolf fenris and frost giants
Dren AaShuharu oh shit I really did thanks man, can't wait for god of war 5 and 6
But aren’t the giants dead?
It's already determined in the mythology that Thor is killed by the World Serpent during Ragnorok.
EnterTheKyuubi yea i know and Odin also gets killed by Fenrir
I love the way Baldur reacts to snow. Truly feeling for the first time, and appreciating it as his last moments.
Some people in the comments have mentioned too that this could also be him coming to a realization that snow is starting to fall, which means Fimbulwinter and then Ragnarok are both imminent. Later on even Mimir mentions that snow started to fall after Kratos killed Baldur, and that symbolizes the end of times.
Artreus: “is this how it always ends? Sons killing there mothers?… their fathers?” Kratos: “no” *snaps neck*
B O I
*Boy
*MAH BOI!*
weeb stuff VACA
C A V A L O
weeb stuff kratos has a new favorite word and it's B O I
their cycle may ends here, but not for Kratos and Atreus, at least for now
Dont forget at the end before it truely end , kratos will die and pass his item (axe)
zilia hui more like you'll pass down the torch now it's up to a trailers to destroy the the Norse gods like his father did to the Greek gods but I think he won't kill off cradles just yet not until he fights with Odin or Thor
if the ragnarok is to come true atreus/loki will died amongst his children fighting the gods
If Kratos has a word in the saying, no. Maybe HE will cause Ragnarok while protecting his son from the norse god's wrath. If Kratos would had killed Freya in that cutscene like he did with Hera in GOW 3, that would have been a jaw dropping moment.
Kratos and Atreus will come to the realization that they need to kill all gods to end the cycle.
2:06 When your siblings eats the last pizza slice
I would imagine if someone say that.
“The cycle ends here. we must be better” words are so powerful. changed the way I viewed my addiction and it’s cyclical nature. I am 7 months free, thank you Kratos ❤
And just like that, Kratos started Ragnorok...
And will proceed to kill Thor and Odin and every other God who stands in his way😂😂😂
slayerBO2EPC The mural says otherwise.
@@theberserkerarmor6511 according to norse mythology, the death of Baldur would be the cause of a long winter. In game it does say otherwise but the game has be pretty faithful to the mythology so far.
@@theberserkerarmor6511 wrong
@@BrownxPrid3 wrong
Freya please do remember that Odin cursed you to never fight again Even to defend yourself And here you are threading someone who held the title God of War and brutally slaughtered an entire pantheon of Gods who were more powerful than you in a single day So I’d choose my next course of action very carefully if I were you
@thatscheese27 Sigrun was the hardest boss battle made in God of War franchise, just imagine Freya with her Valkyrie wings and armour combined with her magic.
@@justin_hero9647 Game mechanic and boss battles are two very different thing. Also Narrative bosses are usually easy compare to OPTIONAL BOSSES. Even if Freya become a Valkyrie she will be very unlikely to be stronger than the Valkyrie Queen
@TheSherlockHokage Amd someone didnt get the point. Story mode bosses will ALWAYS be easier than OPTIONAL BOSSES. Beside I forgot the optional valkyrie queen's name anyway.
@@alonelyperson6031 She will be easier but in a lore standpoint she would be stronger
@@kris0375 Yeah, but lustin C was talking about game point. Without a doubt she will be stronger in the lore. BUT she won't be stronger than KRATOS, who killed a whole pantheon(his) along with all the stupidly powerful gods in it.
Freya: I will rain down every agony Kratos: Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt
He gets a free Cup next time.
"We will be the gods we choose to be" - Kratos One of my fraviout moments in the whole game
Kratos: *breaks his neck* Baldur: Snow Me: How tf is he talking?
He is a god... Maybe.
He broke it badly?
TheSonicfanx1 when it comes to that mistletoe arrow then yes. He dies permanently.
Cameron Sivret he literally resurrect after ragnarock ends
Nanomachines, son
i feel bad for balder his whole life he wanted to feel but then he finally felt... snow ...and then nothing.
On certain perspective, he is just an innocent boy who grew up unable to feel anything so bad that it corrupted him to lose the sense of right and wrong. At least he felt the thrill of the fight and felt alive again thanks to kratos. Pretty sure kratos granted him a peaceful death rather than an empty life of vengeance. If only he didnt choose the path of vengeance.
hermaeus mora he wasn't born like that, though.
Well no he felt everything after the mistletoe. If he just left them be after that he’d still be living
Clayton Davis the spell will restore itself if the mistletoe is cycled out of his system

Voice acting is insane man Danielle Bisutti did a great job 2:32
Baldur : *Choke Freya* Kratos : *Snap Baldur Neck* Freya : *nO No no, mY sWEet bOYy*
Best Part of God of war 4 😍 Boy ... listen close i’m from a land called sparta i made a deal with a god that cost me my soul i killed many who were deserving and many who were not ..... i killed my father
he should have said that "i was a bit sassy back then so murdered an entire civilisaton by accident.. well you know i had family issues ... and we're kind of gods, and i kinda was a god of war....well that happened"
Best part for me Atreus: So I'm a man now, like you? Kratos: No, we are not man, we are more than that, the responsibility is far greater. And you must be better than me. Understand? Say it. Atreus: I will be better.
“Aaaaahhh” - Kratos after drinking wine.
He seems to have forgotten he killed his family as well...
Player Zero, I agree, I think! I dont know which part is better: the part when Kratos gets the blades or that dialogue... The voice in "And you must be better than me. Understand? (...) The power... You must never forget this" was so good! Christopher Judge is a legend.
Honestly, if Kratos dies during the second game and we finish the trilogy off with a grown up Atreus, I won’t be mad.
Mr. Pineapple I believe that’s what they are going at because you see the future in the murals and Kratos there is dead or dying
No.. I don't want to play as atreus... I've grown playing with kratos.. I won't accept this
Atreus is fking Loki bro, he would make one badass protagonist
Connor Mac also it would fit with the prophecy of Ragnarok. If Atreus looses his father he will most likely want to revenge him. And since Loki In ragnarok will lead the Jotnar into battle against the Aesir it would make sense
Then the game would be called God of Mischief.
1:26 he looks so badass at this moment
Kratos’s knew Baldur’s pain that’s why he showed mercy.
*deep breath* BOY!
Dad of BOY
For some reason this fucking killed me 😂😂
The Advocate its B O I
I’m surprised nobody picked up the, “He chose this.” Zeus said the same thing when killing Kratos. 0:06 - 2:02
CommandoPanda I'm surprised the video was of baldur instead of pointing out kratos said some of that to Atreus as well.
He also said "the cycle ends here" like zeus when he kills kratos
Well, I mean, having been in that position, he knows he chose this.
Jeremy Davis played baldur so perfectly because you don't even see the voive actor or think about it.
This is exactly why this game deserve to win game of the year
Clay Jacksøn and they say rd2 should have won over this masterpiece 😂
@@KlyntarNage666 rdr2 is better but love this game
If kratos dies I'm gonna be mad.
Nooblitz 74 you weren’t mad beforehand?
Nooblitz 74 he didn't feel snow or atleast he didn't physically it was foreshadowing of the winter coming after this fight before ragnorak (atleast that's what I read)
well remember when they're at the land of giants. the wall foreshadowed the whole thing, from Bauldur and kratos fighting to bauldur's death. well after that, kratos sees a curtain not yet pulled down, so he decides to peak and what he finds is a picture that shows him dead laying on atreus.
True but hope they don't
Why? He'd just fight tooth and nail out of Valhalla and fuck up whatever got him.
Man Chris judge nailed this role !!! Dudes an amazing actor !
3:55 made me Realize that Even though Atreus shows resentment in how Kratos raised him, It show's he took the lessons at heart and understood Kratos' hatred for the gods.
Freya: I will ruin every violation imaginable upon you Kratos: Odin took everything from you and you took everything from Baldur. Hypocrite
"WhY wOuLd ShE tHrEaTeN kRaToS? LoOoOl" Kratos killed her son, and if you had half a brain you'd know that freya really loved her son. Ofc she'd be mad, what's she supposed to say? "Damn, guess I'll go home."
Jay lmao
@@abstractsophy she robbed her son of everything so.... she brought this on her self
Yeah but she’s threatening the ghost of sparta
Alex Mercer as he/she said, Freya loved him so much she didn’t want him to die
Yeah, but that's the response expected of most children. They only see Kratos as a badass god killer who could most certainly kill Freya. And Freya is the bad mom who drove her son mad. The finer nuances of the characters and story are lost on them. Despite the grievances Freya committed against her son, she did them out of love for him. She loved him too much. It was wrong what she did, and she is responsible, but her grief and anger are natural responses. I'd question her character if she didn't react the way she did. If she'd just said, "Well, guess that's that. I can make another one I guess," and went home after seeing her son killed, she'd had gone from a parent who made awful mistakes out of love for her child, to a terrible, evil mother who probably deserved to be killed by her son. Living with the fact she caused her child's demise is going to be a worse punishment than death. And she knows Kratos is right. You see that when she pauses to say something to him before she leaves, then just walks away.
You know, this is complete conjecture on my part and a total long shot, but I just realized that maybe Baldur's last word might be more meaningful than we think. He falls to the ground, staring with eyes wide into the middle distance as they pool with blood, and just says: "Snow..." Well, in the aftermath of the game after Kratos and Atreus spread Faye's ashes and return to Midgard from Jotunheim, Mimir warns them that: "the snowfall that *began when you slayed Baldur* has become something more, the stuff...of omens." And proceeds to tell them of Fimbulwinter being the first sign of imminent Ragnarok. Kratos even makes an incredulous remark about it. "Ragnarok. From snow?" to which Mimir replies: "Aye, snow. Then more snow. And then the end of the bloody world, in that exact order." Maybe, just maybe as Baldur lays there dying, drawing his last breath he has that same realization while witnessing the first snowflakes fall marking the end of days. Or maybe he just says "Snow..." because he's enraptured with feeling cold after 100 years of senselessness, just my rambling theories.
I think both are legitimate and possible
Well if you wanna get to the thivk of it remember the dark elf general you killed the one atreus claims said "youve mafe a grave mistake" you know how they were covering that font of light? That font of light you freed is the well of souls going to helheim ragnorrok begins with a flooding of souls that helheim cant hold the dark elves were trying to slow the start of ragnarok and you fucked that up didnt you
Just be glad he didn't say Rosebud
This isn't conjecture and you're not 'on to something'. Him saying snow and the snow beginning to fall as a symbol of the beginning of ragnarok is what you are supposed to tie together naturally. So congratulations on just not being a moron who can see blatant narrative.
You here too ..... I just saw u a minute ago 😂😂😂😂
Of course Christopher Judge is great as Kratos, but holy shit, Danielle Bisutti absolutely killed this scene as Freya. That scene where she’s cradling Baldur’s head felt surprisingly moving.
Apart from the scene where he picked up the blade of chaos, this is one of the best scenes I can say. Never tired of watching it. The background music just on point. And this scene, it is like im watching a movie or series. The best game ever. Im not regret, not even a second, when i bought the collector edition of gow. Cant wait for next GOW!
