“One of the greatest games of 2018” Mate it’s one of the greatest games of all time.

Murdering his family wasn't the only thing that haunted him. The boat captain haunts him still

My favorite detail that nearly made me cry was the last handprint. Video games always have mechanics there just for us and this game does too. In tomb raider white signifies the path, yellow in uncharted and gold runes lead the way in this game. At the end when you see that last handprint and realize that Fey was guiding us all along! That a game mechanic was given story and world importance! Her power of prophecy and ability to see the future allowed her to mark our path years in advance, long before Atreus was even born! She saw her death and knew her child and husband would need guidance and help and she gave us that. One final gift from Fey, given before he was even born. She gave Kratos a son to keep him sane and happy, an axe to keep him safe and allow him to protect his son and she gave them guidance so they could see the quest through to the end! Beautiful. This is why God of War is my favorite game.

As someone from Ireland and have studied celtic traditions the 3 spirals actually symbolise (birth , life and rebirth ) as it is carved onto an Irish structure called 'new grange ' which holds cremated remains within

God of war 5 Kratos: man!!!

12:42: kratos tells Atreus to pick up his bow and get ready for the fight. In the beginning when baldur was knocking the door he hid him in the bunker. Kratos knows that his son is now ready to fight gods

13:08 imagen if this is the main Manu for next god of war when u start the game

Did anyone else think Atreus would be revealed as the reincarnation of Tyr?! The way they say Atreus is very intelligent for his age, great with languages and technology (helps you through traps and mechanisms) and he likes to help others.. not to mention how he feels a connection with Tyr. I really thought that he would be revealed as a reincarnation or rebirth of Tyr as a backup plan of his and Fey. I like the Loki angle too tho! It fits perfectly with the story once you look back and notice all of the signs like the mistletoe.

Bought a PS4 in Nov 2019. This was the first game I purchased because of it's reputation. It did not disappoint. It was excellent.

Plot twist: The man in the secret ending was really just a carpenter to fix their roof.

I'm a new player and I've only just started to clear the black breath. I've played the other Gow games but this games lore and playstyle is phenomenal! I'm very much enjoying my game time with this!

The "secret" ending isn't secret though. They say now we go home after the last mission. Idk how people miss it.

Aterus: Can i turn into an animal? *Kratos.exe has stopped working*

I got the secret ending on my own. The mission, when you "beat the game" literally says return home.

The moment I saw mistletoe, I realized Atreus is Loki. I'm Norwegian and know Norse mythology, so it was a bit obvious. A lot in the game is, when you know the story. The creators decided to utilize the fact that Odin and Frigg are mirrored in Od (Oðr) and Freya. It's Frigg who is the mother of Baldr, but in the game it's Freya. Frigg and Freya are probably the same person, same as Odin and Oðr, so it's a clever sleight of hand that obscured it a bit for me.

This has to be the best narrated and complete games secrets reveals here on YT. Thank you.

Since loki is Jormungandr's father, and Mimir said in the game that the snake time travelled, that's why the snake said that atreus seemed familiar! Because Atreus is Jormungandr's father!

You missed the Hobbit easter egg where Sindri explains to Atreus how he is able to turn 'invisible', saying that turning invisible doesn't work on dragons if you are a dwarf!

Captain buttmunch I really liked the video! I beat GoW 2018 and the Easter Eggs make sense now. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!

I literally just started playing this game and it's such a beautiful game. Masterpiece for certain

"Boy?" "Yes, Father?" "I tire deeply of these gods arriving at our door. Come now. Let us destroy them all."

I think my favorite bit of foreshadowing is when you’re exploring the mountain early on in the game. Kratos says “These passages look to small for giants” and Atreus says “mother always told me that just because they’re called giants doesn’t mean they are giants”

I remember hearing Kratos say “indeed” and thought it was out of character, i now know why

CAPTAIN BUTTMUNCH! LOL. I’m playing this for the first time on my channel. Thanks so much for some of this secret info I would have never known on my own!

0:23 “ and there will be a few spoilers ahead,” as he’s using the blades of Chaos 😂😂

End scene... Kratos: WHO ARE YOUUU! Hammer bro: Your son wrote a letter! The roof needs fixing! A storm's coming!

Love This Game Awesome Vid Bro

Love it man

This game is unbelievably amazing

I wish this game never ended.

Great video, Captain Buttmunch! I just finished the game on PC (on its 5th realease anniversary actually!) and I ended up completely ecstatic and amazed by this masterpiece. I'm heartbroken that I rolled credits on it, but your video made feel that there more special to it. Thank you!

I have a theory that Kratos will kill Thor at some point and wield mjolnir, maybe half way through the story, it would also be a good excuse to level up another weapon which I’m all for!

90% similarities and reference 10% real easter eggs

!!SPOILER!! The puny troll line is even funnier once you find out Atreus is actual Loki

Captain Buttmunch Nicely done video. I was curious of those symbols as I didn't recognize all of them. Thanks for that one. And I don't really care where Lord Kratos goes next, just as long as they let him go!!!!

Capt Buttmunch! Thanks for the video. :D I am trying to plat this amazing game but those damn valkyrie!

I've already beaten the game so it doesn't really bother me but I think it was kinda... odd to put the spoiler warning AFTER you show the Blades Of Chaos. lmao

I remember finding that secret ending, man I thought I was gonna fight thor! But it only hyped me up!!!

I love Atreas's reaction to Kratos 's line about the fates.

Captain buttmunch Thanks for the video. Very enjoyable. Pointed out a few things I missed. Keep up the good work. I'll be back...

The boat captain is one of the best running gags in gaming.

The Cycle ends here.... We must be better then this. Damn Legend

Purchased this game in November 2020 during Black Friday sale and man I am surprised by what level this game has reached...being honest here never tried out god of war games on ps2 and ps3 but this one just won my heart and now I understand that why this game was give the game of the year award in 2018 the narrative it’s just worth every penny. Eagerly waiting for god of war ragnarok!!!

Thor versus Kratos, I cannot wait for that one. Completely agree with you :)

2020 this game still coming in clutch with this coronavirus

0:51, subtitles on, thank me later

Can't wait to replay this the moment my PS5 comes in a few days!!

"The cycle ends here" is the best quote i ever heard

Kratos: WHO ARE YOU!! *Reveals hammer* THE CARPENTER!

Sorry about how I say Atreus! I'll never live this down. Thanks for watching; sorry for all the Easter egg videos this month, I think I’m addicted. Where do you think the god of war should go next? Japan, Egypt?

NOLAN LETS GOOO xD I love Richthofen sm I didn't realize he did that voice in gow

Love how you made kratos look so happy in the thumb nail

"Can I change into an animal? " Sure, it implies that Atreus is indeed Loki but have y'all forgotten that Atreus is also Zeus's grandson? And that Zeus also had the ability to shapeshift? That's why I took Kratos's reaction to the question into a way that he may have actually realized that the boy might have inherited his granddad's powers or I dunno, what do you guys think?

I know I'm late to the party but I just finished my first playthrough and omg I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the graphics and gameplay, soooooo damn good. I am now so heavily invested in this series

Thank you so much help me a lot

Awesome video Captain butmunch

The next game should be called God of War: Ragnarok The final boss would be Thor and you got to fight surtr and other gods (Edit: so I got it right 😅)

"boi" -kratos 2k18

Literally bought the ps4 just for this game back in 2018 got the top edition with the book and the statue action figure thing, love the god of war series and this has been the best one as far as game play even tho I did miss beating more giants etc like the first 3, still my favorite game series period !

Captain Buttmunch! Great Video! Super excited for 2nd!

I've 100% completed this game. Got the platinum trophy for it as well. I'm just upset that there is no more for me to do whilst I wait years for the next game to release. It is a masterpiece.

Let's not forget that in the elevator in Tyr's temple, it showed Tyr visiting different cultures, including Egypt and Japan as mentioned in the video, but also showed Tyr visiting a Central American civilization, probably the Aztecs but maybe the Maya. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to see Kratos vs. Aztec pantheon, maybe have a new weapon in the form of a macuahuitl (if you don't know what that is, look it up, I think it'd be a perfect weapon for some brutal combat)

Coming back and seeing the Thor intro from Ragnarok was back in the 2018 game is crazy

~CAPTAIN BUTTMUNCH~ Im in love with the latest god of war. I havent played earlier god of wars but i have watched playtroughs tho and now that GoW came to PC I didnt do anything else than play furiously almost 49h straight even while doing sidequests too and finished the game :D But started the new game+ and loving it still as much as in the beginning. Waiting so much for Ragnarok and loved your video! Keep that same energy up, was very entertaining

“My own mother sang this to me as a child so I can see why the creators would include this in the game” Lol what

Also when you fully upgrade the blades after getting the item for beating Surtur trials (and the Valkirye) you unlock the trophy called "why fight it" which is the line that Surtr uses in Thor Ragnarok when Thor is chained sideways

Loki saying puny troll was so funny.

Lots of the boat stories are references to the older GOW games. The story about the horse who teamed up with a human was about his alliance with Ares which became eternal servitude. Pretty interesting stuff

0:52 did he just say arnold swatsinigga

After that secret ending you and boy get up from bed and boy says I had a weird dream thor showed up at our house but it felt real

"puny ____" was always a line for Hulk, even in the comics.

When I finished the first time the game i went back home and i went to sleep and the secret ending activated. And I didn’t even know it 👏🏻

A lot of the side missions for the spirits in the lake bring up moments in Krato’s past. Stuff like Atreus asking him what kind of son would kill his own father and remarking how you never truly get over the loved ones you’ve lost. Thought those little moments were really well done.

What about when Kratos tells the story of the tortoise and the hare. I think this is a reference to him and Hermes and God of War 3

finally i was able to see the 2nd light shaft blow... also, you were super controlled with your hits because,she is a tough opponent.. patience and patiences

now that GoW ragnarok has been revealed i wanted to say that you did some great foreshadowing

SPOILERS MY DUDES;; I started REALLY guessing Atreus was Loki when he was given the mistletoe arrows. I love Norse mythology so I got really excited when that happened. By that time we already know that the Stranger is Baldr - and in Norse myth, Baldr’s “Achilles’ heel” is mistletoe, and he is killed when Loki tricks a blind brother into shooting him with a mistletoe arrow. So that lowkey gave it away for me?? I just fricking love this game and its attention to detail. Little things like that only add to the whole experience. God damn it’s good.

3:01 poor atreus

very nice

What a coincidence!!You gave 21 Easter eggs!! And its coming in 2021!!

That secret ending is a proof that there's gonna. Be a God of war 5

Kratos will kill Thor, and merge his Axe with Mjolnir makeing Stormbreaker! :D And Odin would kidnap Atreus/Loki, who will belive his real father died, or even betrayed him. Kratos, to get back his son, will fight and kill all the Nordic Gods, and then fight with Loki, who in anger for Odins plans will destroy all Asgard.

The troll fight in E3 was the reason I baught the game. The spartan rage yell was so badass I cant believe they cut it

OMG THANKS

9:50 Let’s not forget Sindri’s insisting “Dwarves are full of surprises!” and Gimli’s very similar line!

When Atreus said “Puny Troll” I lost my shit 🤣

13:03 "You seem like a calm and reasonable person."...

Hi Captain Buttmunch, also, i never knew about that gauntlet, gonna try get it

There’s another foreshadowing moment, while climbing the mountain a rune says “HRÆZLYR” as people may know this is the dragon that ambushed Kratos and his son further up the mountain.

I know I'm kinda late on this but shortly after you finally kill Baldur, Atreaus and Kratos are talking and I don't remember exactly, but Atreaus said something like "would you let me kill you" and Kratos said "if it means that you would live, yes". So I feel like that's going to be foreshadowing for future games. Idk if I'm dumb and everyone already saw and realized that but I thought it was cool.

In one of the temple's we also see a canvas of Tyr having traveled to different cultures in order to seek wisdom, one of which it seems like the Aztec Pyramids. I would love to see Kratos take on ancient Aztec Gods and wreck them!

Also another detail on Thor scene is that the first time Baldr came into their house, Kratos told Boy to hide under the house, but now Kratos tell Boy to get his bow and get ready to fight

Btw, Loki is not only the father of Jormungander, but also of Fenrir and Hela (queen of death and yes I know she is his sister in the avengers but she is his daughter in mythology)

Thor:We need a weapon to defeat thanos!!!!! (Meanwhile) Kratos:where is my axe boy?! Boy:chill bruh

2:52 GODDAMNIT BOY! You are loki

"They straight up murder that meal" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don't really consider that ending any kind of secret... The whole game Kratos talks about going home once the journey is over. After you make it to the top of the mountain he says "Now let's go home."

“Sure thinking there would be a troll under that bridge.” Dora Easter egg?

when you kill the first troll, a text pops up saying "Trolls Toll" which is most likely a reference to Always Sunny in Philadelphia when frank sings in the nightmare cometh.

Actually when I first got it I wasn’t sure I was gonna like it but after I played omg one of the best games ever when it come to story
