The two elf factions have been at war for generations. We saw that the dark elves take no prisoners and just execute everyone. They even attack us visitors without provocation, unlike the light elves. I find it more likely that the light elves might be experimenting with draugr, and that the Dark Elf King is only telling us what he believes. As Mimir told us, both sides believe they're the rightful keepers of the light, and it is their moral duty to keep it from the other side.

I had a theory that The Dark Elves had teamed up with Odin and that's how they got control of the Light. The reason that Odin wanted the Light under control was that you would need the Light of Alfheim to get rid of the Black Breath on the mountain. The Black Breath is a corruption of magic and we know that, Odin took the magic he learned from Freya and used it to serve his own means. So Odin put the Black Breath on the mountain to prevent people from climbing it. Why would he do this? For two reasons, one so no one could get to the last known bridge to Jotunheim, perhaps if there were any Giants left hidden in Midgard, that they wouldn't be able to use the bridge and be stuck in Midgard and two, so no one could get to Mimir. So Odin allied himself with the Dark Elves to give them control of the realm and the Light. The only thing they would have to do is to keep someone from reaching the Light and keep it under control. Therefore keeping someone from being able to get rid of the Black Breath. Now that Kratos and Atreus have released the power of The Light and gotten rid of The Black Breath, Odin's wrath will be coming down on them and perhaps on The Dark Elves for failing in their job. So that is the "Grave mistake" that the Dark Elf spoke of. Odin's retribution.

So.... in the mythology, a Draugr is basically an undead body without a soul. In other words, the soul has already moved on, and the body is reanimated. This happens because the body was not buried with proper funeral rites. It’s the Hel Walkers that are souls returning to the body. Now, you might be right about the Light Elves sacrificing people to the light. It’s known that The Light is basically the deity of all the elves. In fact, one of the Lore Stones in Alfheim says “From the light we are born and to the light we return. The light is the river of souls, transforming us, consuming us, transcending life and death. The light is the truth. The light is all.” The way the Norse afterlife works, if a soul goes to Hel for a time, it’s not permanent. Eventually, they will complete trials within Hel, whereby they regain the right to live again. When this happens, it is the light of Alfheim that transports the soul back to Midgard, granting that person a new life. Basically, reincarnation. What the game insinuates is that Tyr (or maybe the Giants) figured out how to harness the Light of Alfheim and use it for travel, since it is, in fact, the light that transports souls from Hel back to Midgard to begin a new life.

I seriously hope you’re right when ragnarok finally comes around if that is the official title of the next god of war.

I feel there isn’t good or bad in this situation. Kratos tried to warn Atreus that they don’t know anything about the conflict between the elves and they only involved themselves because the dark elves were hostile and preventing them reaching the light of alfheim, the whole reason they were there. I personally think the King only tried to communicate with them after his defeat because he thought they were possibly allies to the light elves from the beginning. The truth actually being that they could’ve avoided conflict with the Dark elves altogether. Now the likely outcome is Kratos will cause both races to go extinct because he cannot avoid being involved against powerful forces.

Hot take counter theory: what if the oppressors the dark elf kings refers to to are in fact the Aesir? We know already that Odin is mad obsessed with control and dominance, and as we see in-game the light elves are definitely not warriors. So what if by putting control of the light and rule of Alfheim in the hands of the light elves, we effectively hand over the realm to Odin on a silver platter? Makes more sense to me than some broad assumptions about light elves being sinister and secretly evil based entirely on conjecture jussaiyan.

I remember the first time I heard the Dark Elf King’s last words and Artreus’s translation; I got chills - what If the whole time we thought the king was antagonising us by screaming at us and zipping off, for that matter ALL dark elves, were telling us to turn back. ‘You don’t understand!’ ‘We can stop it!’ Of course with the amount they push against us, IT being Ragnarok with all of the realms divided and some missing, it’s unlikely someone would need the light to make the temple transport. Ragnarok is also called ‘Twilight of the Gods’ meaning the last light of the Gods, the Dark Elves were protecting the light by covering the temple to ensure the light was sustained and controlled. Never in the adventure did I, at least, get the sense that they wanted to destroy the light at all. They nested around it and made sure all paths were cut off. AGAIN, Kratos fucks up by going headlong into death and destruction and we can’t blame him because we are holding the controller.

Nice theory! I always liked the theory that the reason the dark elves were covering the light, is to restrict the flow of souls. Since the Valkyries were corrupted and imprisoned, ALL dead were going to helheim! This overflow cause the dead to SPILL out into the surrounding realms(Especially Midguard), thus speeding up Ragnarok!!The dark elves realize this and try to stave off Ragnarok. We don’t really know if the light elves are EVIL or just fighting for control as they have done THOUSANDS of times before! Maybe this was ODIN’S plain to start Ragnarok early and get it on his timetable... We’ll just have to wait until GOW“ Ragnarok” for the TRUTH👍

How about Mimir's dialogue if you bring him to Alfheim saying the Elf two factions have been fighting over the light for so long and changing ownership so often that they can't remember how the civil war started? Maybe the humans could of be outside help been brought in and who was captured, and the Dark Elf King dying words are in reference to how they were treated when the light elf's were last in power?

My theory is that the light and dark elves represent that balance in Ljosalfheimr (Alfheim). The light had just been turned to the dark side as Kratos kills Svartaljofurr. So Kratos, not only did he brought back the light once again. He also, by plot, got rid of the rightful rulers of both sides. Possibly drowning Ljosalfheimr in it's own light.

Here are all the holes in this theory. 1. Of course the Dark Elf King is gonna say some shit like “you’ve made a mistake” he feels himself in the right why wouldn’t he think helping the light elves is a mistake? 2. Those prison cells are closed when the dark elves are in control and open with the light elves are in control. Seems when the light elves are in control those cells are open by default. Remember both groups take over the light all the time it’s not a far reach to say at one point the cells were added by the dark elves. 3. There are light elf bodies in some of the prison cells with the draugr. Obviously the dark elves put them in the cells with the draugr. 4. Alfhiem has draugr all over the place not just in prison cells maybe with the overflowing draugr problem they’re flowing through realm tears and entering Alfhiem. There’s literally a realm tear that 2 heavy draugr come out of in Alfhiem.

I believe the reason the LE were able to lure in humans was due to them understanding the effects of the Light. I think the Light show you your love one which make it easier to marketing to humans rather than the promise of a paradise And to support the idea that the DE is right, if I remember correctly they are one of the opponents you have to face at the last trial of Tyr. Which indicates Tyr’s trust in them.

I thought it would be related to the consequences of ragnarok.

Same as with magni and modi, and the accelerated fimbelwinter.

A lot of people miss that this section of the game has a lot to do with perspective, which is also why it seems all the puzzles of this area are perspective based. "line up the weird fungus stuff" That is also what Kratos is trying to teach Atreus. there are no good guys or bad guys in war, both sides want something, and both sides have something to lose. Survival and or Advantage.

I figure that if we get any expansion to this elf war in Alfheim, it’ll shed more light that’ll make both factions seem morally dubious. Kratos _should_ be right in saying that we don’t know the circumstances and shouldn’t assume that light must mean ‘good’ while dark has to mean ‘bad.’ It still makes me question how they’re going to convince everyone that the dark elves have a justified reason to be fighting considering that they full on attacked Kratos and Artreus for merely walking around, while the light elves never tried to inflict any sort of harm on Kratos. The worst they did was ignored his presence like snobs, but that’s a far cry from outright trying to murder Kratos just for being in a region they believe is there’s

@@333dae It's certainly possible. The God of War series has always featured entities that were once neutral towards, or even allied with, Kratos that eventually turned on him. On a side note, part of me has always hated the betrayals and having to kill characters like Gaia. I'd like to be buddies with the Light Elves, but I know that's not how Kratos rolls, and it's generally not how the God of War series has flowed. I could definitely see the Light Elves being a thorn in Kratos' side in the upcoming Ragnorak after directly being benefited by Kratos and Atreus' siege on the Dark Elves' hideout.

I think the Humans found a bridge to alfheim they made permanent to be able to invade and kill them. I think the Humans are the opressors as in the dark elf king calls Kratos the oppressor for being a human, and they believe the light of Alfheim is holy and would be tainted by human oppressors. The Draugr are probably POWs who invaded and got caught, because both elves and Dark elves repelled the human assault and just died in jail.

I may be wrong but if I remember right that's what the codex says about them. And mimir says in helheim that people who die of old age or sickness or basically any death other than a violent one are sent to helheim.
