Imagine Persephone and Kratos team up together from Ghost of Sparta, GOW 2 and GOW 3.

No it wouldn't have done much, You could see the pullers collapsing from elysium so Kratos would've figured it out eventually also since Persephone wanted to get revenge on the Gods, she wanted their most loyal servant tormented not knowing what he can do once he's desperate. It's a combination of the classic Greek hubris and the inevitability of the plan failing regardless.

She seemed to almost want to fight Kratos. She taunts him, and literally waits for him at the steps, then armors up and takes him to the tower up there. I'm pretty sure it was personal-she wanted to kill the champion Olympus had chosen, personally.

It wasn’t even provoked. She just appeared out of nowhere, interrupted the exact moment she wanted to play out, and gave Kratos every reason to turn against her.

@@User-es3em But Kratos only made it up there in time because Persephone didn't immediately fly off. She had to brag. Then slowly walk up the stairs. It's poor writing

Wasn't she tricked by Hades and Zues into this though? Also, Hades is an ugly mofo so we wouldn't have been able to get laid anyways

@@6210classick No he isn't god of war hades isn't accurate to the hades described in greek mythology and she wasn't "tricked" into falling in love with him she fell in love with him on her own

Greek Myth fact: Kratos was born from a Titan and a God and of course, not the God of War. But Kratos is the God of Strength, Power and Might. Hades, God of the Underworld and Persephone, Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld relationship is complicated? Hades had an affair with a nymph named Minthe that soon Persephone found out and turned the nymph into a mint plant. Persephone had an affair with a human servant to Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty and Love. The servants name was Adonis whom had died and his soul was sent to the Underworld. Calliope, or in Greek: "Kalliope" was the eldest of the Mousai (Muses). She is the Goddess of Music, Songs and Dance. Also, is one of the nine daughters of Zeus and she judged and settled the dispute between the goddesses Aphrodite and Persephone over Adonis.

She’s also his niece. I like Greek mythology but it always found that to be really weird

@@bernardwilliams2946 Yes, it is. More of incest cause most of the Greek Gods are related to each other. And I too like Greek Mythology as well.

Just make sure that she isn't Persephone.

Oh no 😂

Am sorry dude I know what is like haveing a shitty relationship but I was never married.

That must have hurt kratos so much

Fun fact, this QTE it takes most O presses to complete, far more than any other in the series (e.g. Killing Minotaurs or trying stop Zeus from stabbing you in GOW2) implying that literally this was Hardest thing Kratos ever did and took all his strength to do. Heartbreaking.

@musclesimp Well, it's not Kratos fault.

@musclesimp Yeah, but the gods and titans are treated Kratos as a dog. Kratos promised the gods to remove his past that hunts him and they're not doing anything. Yes, he kill his wife and daughter but Ares tricked Kratos, Ares and Athena kidnap Deimos because she thinks that Kratos brother is a threat of a Olympus. So I don't blame Kratos. The Gods and the titans are the blames.

@musclesimp That was Ares fault for making Kratos psychopath mass murderer, but Kratos is still an antihero.

It's theorized by fans that this may be the cause of his immortality, she possibly cursed him by saying your suffering will never end. And since his suffering continues through his life, he cannot die.

No

Like Kratos cares

Hades loved that in bed

She really should’ve listened to herself. She probably could’ve won if she did.

Like we care ur comment

lmao it was lame as fuck

Is this a joke on the "green thumb" thing ? If so, I love it.

Idk if this is a reference to that SolidJJ video but it got me laughing hard

Bro was about to cry after making a mf hold the damn world up on HIS shoulders like bro cry me a river asshole look at the position you put me in 😂

And right in front of his daughter too.

To be fair they were going to lose their existence anyway

I wonder if many of them had been killed by him in the first place? "Oh no, not again."

Lmaoooo

This is perfect 🤣

@@sg6658 indeed

I understood that reference

If she is in Elysium no way she would tolerate her Fathers World Ending Actions

I would doubt it. Her husband is Hades. And they had one of the most functions relationships in Greek mythology

@@maclunky_skywalker5187 since when God of war has been accurate to Greek Mythology? Plus Persephone doesn't like nor love Hades and the other gods in God of war universe.

@@maclunky_skywalker5187 persephone just said she hates hades and that he betrayed her

Yes siiiiiiiiiirr

Teach I never killed her lol.. I still have the psp and this game no memory stick though.

@@punisher8632 hey man, i dont know if im late, but anyway, is actually easier than it looks: the trick is to use the zeus gaunlet/glove, avoid those big rocks and when she use that 2 combo hit, just jump and use the R1 + CIRCLE in the air (is that glove power that kratos kind of make a little thunder or wathevers) just before she hit yu; she will miss, and proceed to throw a rock - so you avoid again and start over ....

I played my run on Hard, lmao 1 stone half bar. But the real pain is do the cinematics over and over at the beginning

The fight was hard for me at first the first time I played game I died 8 times but then I knew what to do just basically avoid her attacks hit her with the gauntlet and use the sun shield

A lot of stories never included her mother either. She’s Zeus’s sister.

@@TyrellMcKdaughter

@@meem6154 he is talking about Demeter

THIS game is my childhood.

hello.

The PSP was an impressive little machine. I love my modded PSP and still play it every now and again. The gow games and Crisis Core alone were worth buying a psp.

Wasn't this game designed for only a psp ?

@@Adynzh yep this dude is just emulating the game on his pc

Yeah it shows he sacrificed everything to save the world (at the time) in hopes the gods would honor their promise

@Mauricio Flores actually Valkyries are the original and there is no winged form of Persephone in the mythology it's inspired by a Valkyrie

Actually, she and Lahkesis from GoW II look better than Valkyries from the new GoW that have nothing feminine and look like automatons... I miss Greek GoW bosses... where devs werent afraid to create enemies that show some skins...

Chill 😂

Compared to the Fates of all people, she’s decently dressed.

No they are not

He literally gave her a fruit so she could not live the Underworld without her knowing it. If that's not a betrayal... XDD

A sec later "ATLAS!"

​@@atreus-9462Yep, instant kill for sure.

Last horny gow fan 🤡🤡

Pensei a mesma coisa

@@ansiedadedadepressao4736 You said it.

@@destroyerblackdragon yes yes

If kratos was smart enough he would've look at the signs before he went to calliope then he would've made peace with her but he destroyed it if he wasn't ignorant. You can tell when she talks to kratos about the gods had betrayed her that's when she really wanted them dead that was her first sign and she clearly gave him a warning which was her second sign but he ignored both of them.

I had joystick drift...😭

It’s just a bunch of tropes and buzzwords ,kratos has plenty of character pre Norse pantheon

Yeah, he maybe hot head boiled brute in most pre Norse series. But his character it still clear and complex.

Modern storytelling considers a character once he evolves. Before Donquixote (the first modern novel) characters where considered 'archetipes'; ideal heroes, flawed villains, mischiveous rascals, wise elders... greater than life characters, complex even... but consistent trougth the story. The things they live, the choices they make... seems to not affect them. They continue to be the same archetype they where from the begining to the end. Greek Kratos was more of an archetipe in the greek saga. He is a furious vengfull antihero; brutallity and arrogance are his constance... yes he has his moments of humanity and emotion; like here... but I don't think he has evolved. Allways angry, allways deffiant... I see him the same in all the games. I don't see him learnign, changing his behavior... In the first game he has the longest journey; from vengfull warrior pissed with the gods; he manages his vengance... but nothing has changed, and looses all hope. Until he is offered the office of Ares, and maybe a new path is oppened for him... Until the 2nd game where he is shown even angrier, more arrogant and defiant of the gods, so he continues in his path for two more games... again, a glimpse of evolution when he sacrifices himself to free the Hope? But its not so mutch out of personal growth but to take revenge on Athena, who he has added to his list... this game is no different. Angry, vengfull, arrogant... a tender moment here, but he inmediatelly goes back to his archetype. In the Norse saga, we begin with an allready changed man. NOW all his adventures have changed him. He is so affected by all he lived that he despises godhood itself. He is haunted. Does not want to be the Ghost of Sparta... but he is unable to moove on and be a human again. But on his journey with Atreus, he is forced to change. He needs to accept his godhood to survive. He tries to be better for his son sake. He takes arms again but in a completelly different way than before. The Kratos we see in the ending cinematic is talkative, sharing stories with his son, having tenderness, opening his feelings, trusting and accepting people in his life... nothing to do with the brute rougth in the edges lumberjack who jells 'boy' to his son in the opening and speaks with grunts. Not to mention the second game. HUGE character growth not only exploring the events of GoW 2018 but revisiting the events of the original games. So if the journalis considers a character needs growth and evolution not to be considered a simple archetype (hey, nothing wrong with been archetypes; Hercules is an archetype; he does not develop at all in his adventures, still good legends to be told) he is kinda rigth... Kratos was an archetype in his greek journey... but he is a character in the nordic saga. And modern audiences tend to value characters with evolution and development. After all, is what real humans do. We evolve out of experience.

​@@dhorn4005 you are kidding ????

What?

​@@lifer132tree cleansing him from his sins, so there is a chance he could sleep without having nightmares and PTSD just by giving it his powers.

they didn't come up with the name for atreus until late in game development so to save time, they used the term 'boi' as a way to call/acknowledge him

I think it might just be Kratos being cold so he doesn’t feel as sad when he loses him. Since papa Krato loses a lotta peeps

He calls her child many times during the first games

retcons my friend

Well, she would be counted as a the first Goddess to get killed by him instead tho.

She's not technically a god, more like a queen. She is the daughter of one but she's not considered an olympian and is FAR weaker than most of the gods kratos defeated. She mostly gets her power due to her position as Queen of the Underworld. So technically she's not a god

Because that game its forgotten

@@ShadoWafel no The game is forgotten by many fans O__0

Probably wouldn't have really done anything to them, they're already dead anyway.

@@ohok9976 Nah, SJW journalists that never played the originals do say that stuff. Anyone who played the original games knows the truth though.

No she wanted to destroy the world She couldve just asked kratos to kill her

Not entirely but yeah. Persephone didn't just want to die she wanted to make the God's suffer by casting Olympus into Darkness which is something Morpheus as a primordial would want to. We still don't actually know what happened to the primordials as the games have only said they were banished, not that they were killed so her dropping the pillar likely would've allowed them to return and kill the Olympians. That's my theory anyway.

We understand his redemption.

Athena did tease him, but he understood that he has changed and made her understand too.

@@user-uz2ps4me3s She's taunting him of his past at this point. Kratos isn't haunted by it anymore because Faye gave him redemption for all of the mistakes he made in his life. He's finally accepted that no matter how much you had to hide the past away, it doesn't have to describe you from who you are.
