New video reviewing which God of War game has the best Blade of Olympus!? Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNmkh5Cfqre9lqM.html Also uploaded a video on my 2nd channel. Playing Russian Roulette with my Demons at 3AM: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKxli6-Gkse9j4E.htmlsi=OISspi4WJN7tqmvC

I think Valhalla has made it blatantly clear that he still has Hope. I got question, what's half a concept? Still a concept!

The only magical abilities Kratos lost were the ones given to him by other gods... who are now dead. But he can still engulf his body in flames during rage mode. He's still super strong. And he can heal himself from all injury. That sounds like magic to me

3:24 The blades of chaos are made with primordial fire, fire that existed before the pantheons. That means they can work anywhere at any time.

When you started talking about the spear absorbing the magic, it made so much sense I was shocked thinking like why didn’t I think of this, bro I love this theory 👍

Theory: Mabye the reason kratos cant use any of his old magic is because greece no longer exist and the rebuild of the greek world turned it into the roman world. This would be a in game reason why the romans believed in the same gods as the greeks. It would also explain how both kratos cant use his magic while "greece" was rebuild.

I thought the whole point of the Blades of Chaos were never bond to Greece but the magic is primordial magic that was at the birth place of creation so technically when Greece was destroyed they didn’t lose their magic because it’s from somewhere else 😅

Can you imagine how crazy powerful kratos would be if he had all his Greek powers 😂

I think Zeus took Kratos's powers away at the end of GoW3. After Zeus takes on his spectral form, he sends a blast of energy at Kratos. After which we see all of his weapons and equipment scattered on the ground, presumably rendered useless.

When you mentioned the Greek foes and the spear siphoning I was SHOCKED makes so much sense now why did I think of this? Wonderful video! ❤

The reason the blades still worked was answered in Ragnorok when surtr said they were primordial.

07:31 Huh, this could also explain how Kratos was able to surpass Heimdall foresight. Yes, the spartan training and own power is a big factor, but that absorption ability both from him and the spear could also contribute to that victory.

It would be so cool for the first half of the next game to be a quest Atreus goes on in 1 mythology then ends up meeting kratos half way thru the game where we continue playing as kratos with Atreus in another mithology

I love the idea of the orbs being a real thing and not just a game mechanic. The greek gods steal or give away power left and right throughout the whole series, while the Norse gods rely on their own power and try to shine the most in their specific powers. They are very competitive, with their very afterlife even being based on combat. Plus, the idea of Kratos absorbing things like magic power from an enemy, or absorbing life essence in order for him to heal from any wounds he sustained in battles, plus taking the literal blood of his enemies to make his weapons stronger. Lorewise, that all makes so much sense for Kratos. He was the "God of Strength" first (if you consider actual Mythology sources of "Cratos" even if that's not canon in God of War) and God of War second. So naturally his power would be to take power and make himself the strongest their is. He literally wills himself to be the strongest because he has lost the most. He needs to be stronger so he can finally win at something, or to compensate for being too weak before to save his loved ones from corrupt gods.

I feel like a lot of people forget that in Greek mythology Kratos is the god of STRENGTH so it makes sense why he’s able to perform so many beat downs

I like to think that the power of hope was similar to the power of the blades of chaos. That the power of hope is bound to the individual and not to the homeland.

I'll be honest. When you suggested that the orbs weren't just a game mechanic and were actually an integral part of the lore I rolled my eyes all the way to the back of my head, ready to dismiss this entire video. But after listening to the end, I have to admit you turned me into a believer. You built a strong case that I have no choice but to accept it. Kudos.

I made an edit to showcase what it would be like to have TC Carson and Christopher Judge in the same scene together. Go check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7h0d8eet5yWkZs.html

Tbh I was hoping for a red orbs cameo or something in the dlc😂

i got a quick theory about this since we learn that when atreus didnt know about his godly lineage , couldnt really use his powers , only once almost replicating his fathers spartan rage perhaps kratos believes that the greek pantheon is extinct and destroyed completly , making it so he cant use his powers while others like odin , just not knowing the full picture that there are still humans and gods left in there

I think the power of hope was most given to his people to rebuild and the power of hope was slowly being build back up during the Norse games

Chris Judge Confirms OG God of War Remake is Coming: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLaIdJtnvtOVo2g.html Just uploaded a video on my 2nd channel. Playing Russian Roulette with my Demons at 3AM: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKxli6-Gkse9j4E.htmlsi=OISspi4WJN7tqmvC

So Kratos himself became the Pandora's box, not bound by any pantheon or God but by himself

Perfect Ares Armor + has the effect of high chances drop of health and rage stones, besides make health also fill rage meter and creating big explosion when absorbed, the fact that it belongs to ares armor contributes to this theory

The intro is sick ! Is there a full version ?

Does Valhalla Prove Kratos is Weak: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMyhq91-0qrMXY0.html

Is there a way I can listen to the the intro you have over and over again?

I think after valhalla kratos can summon the blade of olympus. It's not the same blade during greek saga but more of manifestation form of his power of hope that still inside of kratos. Valhalla and Tyr made kratos discover what's really within him after all

So you assume that Kratos can use the Blade of Olympus again because he reabsorbed this power from the memories Valhalla used? 🤨

Wow it is so simple, yet so brilliant! I love it!

What is the name of the song in the intro plz?

whats the name of the music in the background?

What’s the song in the background called with the humming

this is something i noticed from the get go, mainly when I was vs debating and theorizing about the game, Kratos never lost the power of hope and in fact, he secretes it like an aura, just look at everybody who has come in contact with him.

What is the intro songs name?

He did lose his powers, but for some reason or another, certainly not that what Freya, an foreign god has theorized, that so many just take as some confirmation. In the in-game lore about Wisps its described how magic flows through the Nine Realms. Thats how it works there, the magic is bound to nature. In Greek world all significant magic and power is bound to dieties or comes from them. Freya doesnt know this and cant make an confirmation on this. The Blades of Chaos still work cause no one destroyed Chaos or Tartarus, simple as that. And the Blade of Olympus also was shown to glow and work just fine after Zeus' death. Not to mention the elephant in the room, that in the Greek world Gaia is the Earth. Literally. All power isnt bound to Gaia nor does it depend on her well-being. Kratos didnt agree or confirm Freya's statement at all cause he knows it doesnt add up. As for his olympian GoW powers, its gone and over. Thats Kratos true peak, anyone who truly got familiar with the immense powers that an God of Olympus wielded, in the Novels knows this. The power that Kratos inherited from Ares, the "meta-physical" responsibilities that Helios talked about. Pretty sure Kratos wont ever see WW2 and Iraq in our real life universe again, if you catch my drift lol. Whatever role or mantle Kratos now takes on in Freya's council, will be symbolic as Mimir put it.

Wats the name of the intro song

not gonna lie but this guy's intro is the best into i've seen in all of my life don't change it its really busting me nut everytime i listen to it god dayumm it's fire

At 3:30 I thought surtr in the story heavily implied it didn't matter what happened to kratos home because the blades of chaos are imbued with primordial fire

I love the explanation for it all but do you also think Valhalla could potentially restore his powers like the blade of Olympus! It could be tied down to his memory’s! And since his homeland died so did the hell of Olympus?! Love your videos!👍🏾

Kratos's first dialogue ever: "The gods of olympis have abandoned me. There is no hope." Very last in Valhalla: "What does that make me? The god of fools? The god of.... Hope. When all else is lost. **monologue chastizing younger self alluding to self growth**"

The blades of Olympus are still there because they were forged in Tartarus or the upper places of Tartarus like Hades

Ay shout to that one spartan who wasn’t afraid of the fates

4:54 wait where does it say about the orbs?

5:18 so on top of all his powers, he also had bear hands. Damn, dude was OP.

I believe it is with the power of hope that he is manifesting the sword now.... In God of war 3 we see the flames of hope burned with a bright blue which just so happens to coincide with the color of the blade of olympus....

The roman mythology taking over the gap left by greek pantheon and rebuilding Greece would be so cool.

That could show that he mentally and emotionally healing sins journeys with a Trias and a bit more through being in Valhalla

Wow so kratos is basically a swole violet Kirby. 😂. Man you are the best. I’m here for when you have 1 million subscribers

Maybe I was thinking of the drop in your spare because of his blood that was used in it

I think it's because Hope is something different from the magic of Greece, the blades of chaos the only thing that seems to be intact is stated how it's made with primordial flames/magic which seems to be something different from the regular magic from the other weapons and isn't linked to Greece. The emotions like hope and the many more sinister evil from the box might not be as linked to Olympus/Greece compared to the rest. They can very well of existed as separated from Greek and the Olympians. Primordial energy seems to exist in the different mythologies/pantheon granted so does magic but it seems the games make a certain distinction between each pantheons magic but with the primordial magic it seems as if there isn't much distinction since Surtur is still able to use it with no issue. But idk I might need to clean up on my knowledge of the lore or something

I have a question if Kratos leads an army again could they be his own remake of Spartans or will it be a variety of different warriors? Because it seems like there aiming to call him the God of Hope

What about the infinite magic trick in GOW1 did he get nerfed?

Ah so he simply went OOM

Kratos fr just needs a protein shake of blue orbs and phoenix feathers

The primordial fire is in the blade. And primordial fire is in every world. In every. . . land. . So even if greek has been destroyed, it shouldn't affect the blade.

Yeah I was thinking of the drop near spear

Exar kun in the old star wars expanded universe had the ability of knowledge and power absortion

The blades of chaos have primordial fire, its not simple magic, even surtr had the same fire in ragnarok it wont go away just because greece was presumed to be destroyed because the primordial fire exists everywhere

holy shit this was such a good video, kratos' magic meter is literally just empty

I director confirmed he gave a lot back to the people of Greece and he still has some for himself

I know, but I am your monster no longer -Kratos GoW2018

I thought he couldn’t call his old magic because he believed his homeland was gone like how Atreus believed he was mortal and became sick/weak because of it, if someone truly believes in something it can become more than thought I guess.

The reason why the Blades of Chaos still have power left in it is because it was made from Primordial Fire, which is one of many foundational forms of power that led to the creation of all the pantheons. All the other weapons Kratos had were made by Greece's own capabilities, and those weapons were connected to Greece.

So are the blades of chaos omniversal because aren't they made from the fires of every mythologies so that means no matter where he goes the blades will always have power have to ask what will humanity do what the Greek weapons that Zeus broke in his astral form will calliope and Deimos come back to life because if Hades does not rule the underworld anymore can the souls choose to come back and without the fates humans can control their own fate since kratos killed off the sisters will humanity use the power of Hope to choose who is worthy of becoming the Roman gods or use the Greek weapons to create them

I like this whole season and absorption business because it reminds me of one Zeus killed an ate Athena’s mother

Fair points but if this is the case then they would need to have Kratos come upon a blue orb / blue stone and absorb it and accidentally use one of the many powers he acquired in Olympus. It would confirm the theory yes but also confirm that the orbs/stones are canon things (in the games, where they're never really mentioned and only play a role as game mechanics). The thing is, no other god from the 9 realms of norse mythology is ever seen using orbs or stones to power up, which means Mimir would notice Kratos doing such a unique thing, even if he can't see the stones, i.e. "Brother, I've noticed in combat, you sometimes go to specific places, outside of the enemies' range, and stomp the ground. What's that about?" The fact Mimir does not mention anything of the sort, ever, is a fairly big hole in this theory. Also, while the orbs may have been canonized by the books, they were a thing specific to Greece, and they do not imply that the stones in the 9 realms are also canon. Plus, Atreus can also absorb health and rage stones, and never in the greek mythology has it been the case that a god's offsprint inherited their power. They all get fairly random powers. Gods in the norse mythology do inherit similar powers, yes, but Atreus is born of a Greek god and a Norse non-god. It wouldn't make sense for him to work like a Norse god. He has nothing to do with the Norse gods aside from the meta information we as players have, that Loki was a god in the norse mythology. He's not aesir, he's not vanir. He's greek. I can't see a way to shoehorn the theory into working with both Mimir never mentioning that Kratos stomps the ground randomly, Atreus also being able to absorb health and rage, and without the developers ever making Kratos find a blue orb and releasing an old power (could be a subtle thing even, like causing rain with Poseidon's power after encountering a blue orb/stone in Tyr's vault, but we see no such thing)

how about the blade of olympus that contained kratos' god of war power? seen that in the wiki

Army of sparta is a magic attack from a weapon its not like a magic attack that comes directly from the gods

They need to explain why orbs no longer exksy lmao and bring them back when kratos presses circle on freya or Thor's wife

Do the gods need blue orbs though? Considering how often they spam their magic in fights it does seem they can at least regenerate it naturally. Not to mention the rage of the gods power they give to kratos can grant infinite magic. I know kratos as a god in ghost of sparda and the beginning of 2 needed blue orbs but i figured that was a gameplay mechanic.

The only reason why the blades of chaos still works in the Norse realm is because they're forged with primordial fire and chaos

Let's reiterate some things Kratos put all his powers in the blade of olympus, had to go back in time to stop Zeus from killing him, but he still died (there was 2 "Kratoses") he takes back the blade but I'm pretty sure he didn't 'take back' his powers. He then dies again, loosing yet again whatever power he got, proceeds to steal a fraction of other gods's powers/weapons then all his weapons got destroyed against zeus. The blades of chaos were still in the god of war temple so when olympus was completely wiped out they started following Kratos. Greece being destroyed or not literally has nothing to do with that. I don't even know how is he still a "god" after he lost his powers that many times but he never losses hope. There is some serious nonsense with the storyline since it became godofboi.

Kratos is confirmed to be a complete god in the latest versions. You should remember that Atreus is also confirmed to be a god, so Kratos must definitely be a god

Valhalla kinda confirmed that the power of Hope are still within Kratos but he just don't know, hell, after his redemption arc, he is the embodiment of Hope and it is his godhood now, no longer a bloodthirsty God of War that doesn't care about anything except his goals. Which is why i believe his next game will be called God of Hope, Valhalla is the end of the Ghost of Sparta and also a new beginning for something truly better.

My theory is that his greek powers only work in greece that's why he can't use them in scandinavia

I have a new theory about Kratos’s blades if he was to die and his blades didn’t suck up that power they would be weekend

4:20 sooo kratos is a saiyan…..cool..

2:30 My best take? It's cuz Greece may be rebuilt, but it ain't the same old Greece anymore. There may be new kinds of magic out there, but Kratos would have to go there to acquire them. It's like, if your PS5 broke, and then you got an XBOX Series X. Sure, you can play games, but you probably won't be able to play your PS5 games any longer. You'd have to stick to only your XBOX.

This theory is accurate; think of hei dall , how he got weaker....and weaker...till he slipped and kratos hit him

And that means Poseidons trident Hades helm of darkness and Zeus‘s master bolt should also still be there

I like to think that when they say, "rebuild," that the survivors of Greece remained their land into Rome

I more or less agree with you, except about the spear. I always thought the absorption came from the concept of the wind that Brok took on the journey to the Lady.

What makes you think the blades wouldn’t work. The blades are made from primal fire. It was already stated and it’s the only weapon with that kind of power

So Kratos is just Kirby

Hope being a power/concept hybrid I'll take it since apparently the devs confirmed it, but the whole "power of absorption" thing sounds whack.

السلام عليكم

1:01 i think he only knows who kratos is and what he did and not about greece

Blades of chaos are primordial powered. Not powered by magic of Greece

Though Kratos Regaining The Blade Of Olympus in a way Means That he Should Have Atleast Some of His Original Godlike Power Back Just Not the Powers That he was Given By The Olympian Gods nor His Army Of Spartans i mean the Divine Power Base that all The Olympians Have that Granted Them There Godlike Status Like God of war 1 The Power That Athena Gave Kratos that Made him Into the God of war Could Theoretically Still be Contained in the Blade of Olympus Otherwise How Could The Blade of Olympus Have any Power Left for Kratos to be able to Wield it Even if it is Just a Memmory

Calling kratos only a demigod is outrageous? Yes story wise he's half mortal so that explains why it took him killing a God to be considered one

Tyrs whole purpose was to show and get kratos to realize he still has hope in himself. Can’t wait for the next time we see kratos. The next time we see kratos it will probably be the strongest version of kratos we’ve seen because the next time we see him he’s probably have mastered all the abilities that comes with the power of hope. Even stronger than end of god of war 3 kratos. The only ability we really got to see from the power of hope was the ability to wield the blue flames of Olympus which we see kratos summon on his hands after he kills Zeus. That flame was so powerful that no god could touch it. I wonder what other abilities the power of hope gives. Cory and Bruno valezquez confirmed that the ability to turn giant is also an ability that is given by the power of hope. So that’s two abilities we know of so far.

If kratos have power to transform norse magic into greek magic he can be just or even stronger than himself in the end of gow 3

He released it to the people of Greece

My god you’re right, and he gets that power from Zeus, because Zeus absorbed Gaia’s life force repeatedly during their battle.

Even the original creator of the original god of war game is not happy with what Cory baldog is doing with kratos, kratos supposed to be a mix of wolverine spawn, ect he shouldn't be tamed soft docile emasculated and humiliated like he is in GOW 2018 and ragnarok

Legitly not, he once said on boat that he tried to use greek god power and he couldn’t, so he working out with no greek gods power.

This was my idea the whole time He gets magic but not the right type of magic to use it, Kinda like trying to use a American plug in another country, Won't work.

It would be awesome if you had another son with Freya and named him Demos

lets get this out of the way and say those orbs arent part of the lore its just a visualisation for us the player to know nothing more
