@@NotAGoodUsername360 sure he did. He chopped of one of his legs...then killed Hermes. I just wish they would have taken the comedy/irony route and have Kratos beat Hermes to death with his own leg.

@@aubergineman5381 I'd say the boss fight with the Archdemon in Dragon Age origins, but Kratos fights a dragon with only one bit of help from his son (lowering the crane) near the top of the mountain the first time you head up. Of course I will argue Tirnoch in Kingdoms of Amalur and Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077 were better. The later only because of every time Smasher killed one of my characters in the Cyberpunk TTRPG. The prior because you not only have to fight a dragon, but you have to fight all of the possible builds you could have gone with involving your character (2 or 3 at a time). Given you can pay a Fateweaver and try out all of the possible builds you can learn how annoying each of these builds are before that final encounter. Or you can learn the hard way (like I did).

Evan Codsworth and baldur voice actor looks a like him

Probably because of motion capture, kratos is one of the only characters that doesnt look like the voice actor

Evan Codsworth you be amazed that the actor Jeremy Davies who plays Buldur played Upham from saving private Ryan.

He looks like me

Evan Codsworth I don’t think the actor feels proud to play this depiction of Baldur though

And then Freya looks at then, her eyes says " is this what you call to be better?" This game is so good that the characters dont need to speak to actually say words

Makes sense odin took everything from her so baldur was the only thing she didnt lost

Make no mistake, Freya is the villain of this game.

As the norns had said before. Baldur will die a needless death. Freya couldn't let go of her son, Baldur couldn't let go his hate for revenge and of course, Kratos ability to kill gods. But this all stems from Freya couldn't let him go. There is no destiny or grand plan, there are only choices and since her choices never changed. Baldur died a needless death

​@@joanlorenzo8305well in Norse mythology destiny is supposed to be unavoidable. No matter how hard they try and change it. Whether it's Freya doing what she did to Baldur or Odin hanging himself from the world tree to try and avoid his death at Ragnarok.

@@hagamapama that is incorrect. Odin is the villain of both Norse games.

Later on (in the next game), Kratos did admit that he should have let Freya make the choice of whether to live or die by Baldur, instead of making the choice for her.

He also wanted to end the cycle of children killing there parents that heavily present in the old gow game

because Kratos understood Baldur not evil he just angry cuz his life robbed from him by his OWN MOM of all people he wanted to tell him revenge not worth it but baldur hated freya that much that show how horrible it was for him

I think also just if there's anyone in the world who understands revenge it's Kratos

Nobody probably could better understand Baldur than Kratos. Simply because Kratos was in exactly same situation.

I think Baldur would have stopped fighting Kratos right after the mistletoe went into his hand if Freya hadn't interfered at that moment with Sultur.

@@sarahvontettenborn121 The giant was Thamur, not Surtr and he probably wasn't going to stop, he was going to keep fighting just to feel the things more and more

If my theory is correct He will comeback to life by loki or his daughter (can't remember exactly but because his daughter did not agree to bring him back to life or him that why the ragnarok started) and will help kratos and loki to fight Thor and adin by this way they will change the ragnarok from worlds end to a peaceful end Because all the game clues are pointing to peace

he enjoyed his last moments at least! i would have done the same should i have been cursed with immunity to all feeling.

I also felt bad too, but he still could've walked away. Live his own life he finally wanted to live it, but no. Had to get revenge and got put down because of it.

I thought he said snow cause that was the last thing he ever felt

@@normiesaredegeneratesthatn3331 I'm 3 years late but, Baldur was like on drugs that point, after god knows how many years, he finally regained what he lost. And he felt WAY TOO MANY things at the same time, pain, cold, joy, thrill, and etc, while at the same time finally meeting his mother who took everything from him. His mind was way too chaotic at that point. No person would be able to walk away at that moment. There's also fear, fear that if he walks away now, he might lose the things he just regained. Imagine how scary it would be to lose something, wait untold years to finally regain it, then to just lose it again and live for more untold years enduring having nothing. So he's probably making most of the moment while it still last, if he dies then so be it and if he survives, he'll think about it later.

I went to 21:32 and he’s literally looking away from the camera.

In Norse Mythology Balder's death (at the hands of Loki) is a signifier of Ragnarok. My theory is Odin found this part of the giants prophecy out and manipulated Freya into protecting Balder out of love when really all he cared about was stopping Ragnarok and his own demise and didn't mind torturing his own kid to do it.

you cant suffer about a person you dont care about, she cares about Baldur's safety so much that she can't see what he feels.

Yep the Norns confirmed all of this

Yep. Already there

​@@ARB1452super good theory!!

우일현 its actually a sign of the beginning of Ragnarok when snow was falling

I almost cried

Hades so if baldur dies the World will end?

Hades Didn't Kratos steal your soul and crushed your skull open? How did you survive?

he somehow feels fimbulwinter's cold snow

Not to mention the big irony: By placing the spell on her son to protect him from the prophecy, Freya also put in motion the chain of events that would lead to his "needless death" she went so far to avoid.

guess you can never truly run from your destiny... what stunt me is Kratos... foreseeing his own death, and just being ok with that... I mean he must be wiser now if he accepts that he will meet an end very soon (again), and I am assuming his only hope is to leave his son very well prepared to face whatever the 9 realms throw at him next

true, what we can get from this: "Happines is more important securance" if freya hadn't put this spelling in her son, she would so happy right now, and baldur wouldn't be out of control and with that endless rage of her.

@@LucDutra92 That's the big thing of Ragnarok. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Whatever you do, it will happen. If she would have chosen to let Baldr live, it would have been how the prophecy dictated it. So there would have been no way of protecting him from his death. It would have hapenned. Norse Mythology is such a cool thing to dive into :o

I do think Freya did it out of love for her son, but in the mythology, she did it mainly to avoid Ragnarok. But idk what card GOW is going to play here. But it makes you think how it would feel to have no feelings at all. To feel no pain.

@@lovesnesh6688 As seen with Baldur, it's safe to say most curses/spells can be broken. I think freya just allowed the curse on her for Baldur's sake but because he's dead she has no reason to bow to odin.

She's coming back for that sequel man.

@@whenallelsfails21 so shit why not try to undo the spell to allow her to at least leave lol. But she talk like there was some spells he did that she wasn't able to undo. And plus she really didn't need to go far for some wings. There was some in her house (an Easter egg)

@@lovesnesh6688 1. Odin would notice come storming over w thor. Also she's bowing to odin/ adhering to his curses for Baldur's (who lives on asgard) safety. Now that he is dead, she has no reason to fall in line. And any spell can be undone if the person who cast it is still alive. Also can't use the wings without the warrior spirit which is what she's searching for. Why she would go to mimir and ask for the location of the wings while your in jotenheim is beyond me.

@@morningstar3831 The beef that Baldur held with Freya had nothing to do with Kratos. As in, "she cursed me and I'm getting payback. Why are you inserting yourself into this?"

No he wouldn't he did that once as shown in Helheim and he utterly hate himself for doing so. As he said he lived for hundred years tormented by his mother curse and as time goes on he goes mad and regretted not killing Freya back then when he could. Not to mention Freya stepped on landmine when she mentioned "feeling" to Baldur because as Baldur said he feels NOTHING. For Baldur this is the last straw since this prove that Freya never actually try to understand his plight. What I really love about Baldur character is that he actually looks like a confused guys who don't understand what he's supposed to do or feels. He never genuinely laugh, got angry, sad or even looks vengeful even when faced with Freya. His face only shows frustration, and confusion.

Vegito kratos gonna die

Yeah, seems like Thor is gonna beat Kratos ass :(

this is GOD OF WAR .....something bad always happens.

It is the beginning of ragnarok. In norse mythology, ragnarok is a catastrophic event where many norse gods die, including thor and odin. I don't think thor will kill kratos, more like Kratos will wipe the fuck out all of them but will die at the end. According to wikipedia, the gods who die are: Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki. Loki as we know from now is Atreus. So we don't know if only kratos will die, or both (Kratos and atreus) will die

He glances at the moral that depicts his death , in which he says yes... we are close to the end

@@mahyardolabi2936 Baldur was probably the only positive thing that came out of her marriage with Odin

@@mahyardolabi2936 she obviously cares alot more about her son than her animals

@@mahyardolabi2936 Because she's a mother and that's her son. The fact that she still loves him even tho he wants nothing but to completely kill her shows her affection. I guarantee if you went outside and asked a mother if she would save her child or her pet, she would most likely save her child

You know It reminds me of that one scene of Pirates of the Carribean when Barbosa wanted to feel instead of living forever. when his cursed got lifted and jack shot at him, that one quote reminds me of this when Baldur dies. "I feel... Cold..."- Captain Barbossa.

Given he can now die from suffocation he can’t punch the shit out of Kratos if his throat is being compressed and Kratos is strong so one hand is all he needed cause he can lift kronos’s finger and push it back. I think you have to check how strong Kratos really is.

mentra1 They were pointless threats. Kratos would kill her.

Kratos didn't want another "Ghost of Sparta" running around. Honestly seeing Kratos go from the monster he was in the first one(s) to a man trying to be better is the biggest selling point to me, normally it's either seeing the character turn evil or never going too far in the first place. Karto's is a rare story of change that every one should strive for.

mentra1 it was the right choice

Hades untill freya drags Kratos thought hell and back by targeting Atreus, sisters of fate style.

Mae W she says to Kratos she was thinking of doing this since he was a baby so I guess she and Odin did this together to him before they split up. Freya out of love and Odin out of his need to prevent Ragnarok. Also Baldur is her only child. The other Odinsons are from different wives and one night stands of Odin.

Sytion Ragnarok here works like a self fulfilling prophecy. Everyone tries to avoid it and yet it always comes no matter what choices you make. Kind of like going back in time to kill baby Hitler only to find out that the baby you killed was switched by mistake in the hospital so WWII happens anyway. Then you go back in time again to do it the right way but this time you kill the baby so the family adopts a new child and this new is Hitler. No matter what the characters here do their choices WILL cause Ragnarok. Hope I explained it well :p

PKassotis Art in real norse mythology, his gift/curse was done by Freya in response to Odin learning of a prophecy in which Balder dies. The prophecy could not be a rewritten, though, despite the intentions of the parents. Balder dies from Loki learning about the Mistletoe, just like in the game, but Loki does it out of jealousy/spite and tricks someone else to kill him instead.

Mae W I guess so He broke down when he saw his past in helheim... Kinda make me sad for him

BigBadWolf I understood that. I was just quoting him.

M4 Carmine I know you were I'm just stating the fact at how sad it is

@@Fall3nAng3ls (6 month late :) ) It's actually deeper than that. In the norse mythology, Baldur death is one of the trigger of Fimbulvetr (the winter that lasts three winter) that will lead to Ragnarök (The end of the gods, the humans and the world). This "snow" means that Fimbulvetr is here. and that everything will perish. Other triggers of Ragnarök are : Skoll and Hati finally eating the sun and the moon in the sky (But we do not see them in the game). Some lead for future games : During Ragnarök Odin kills Fenrir and Fenrir kills Odin Thor kills the Serpent and the Serpent kills Thor Loki kills Heimdall and Heimdall kills Loki Surt (The big sword in Muspel') will bring down Asgard in Flame (FYI - Thro Ragnarök events) and will be killed by Freyr (Bother of Freya), but Sutr will also kill Freyr in the process. Everybody dies. The cycle stops and starts again.

@@jlpouffier thats probably right, but i thought it was because ( if you look close) a snowflake falls on him, and he says that b/c he can finally feel it. It made me sad af😭

Nicolas Mihaljevic thank you

Nice catch! didnt see that!

to be honest? if I were kratos, i would have let baldur kill his mother, and when shes dead i would kill him that who sets for vengance shall di 2 thumbs, one for your victim and one for the one who will hunt you... that way the cycle will have ended buuuuuuuuut i think kratos did not wanted to show loki how cruel the world can trully be, and he decided to do the "right" thing

If Freya was killed, wouldn't that create repercussions on Midgard? We saw in God Of War 3 how the gods deaths led to oceans rising, plant-life dying and disease

Perhaps she wanted to die in order to never have to watch her son die.

gabriel gomez I think you forget the fact that Freya saved his son when he was ill so he still in debt for her

freya was willing to let her own son kill her. she did after all take his ability to feel anything, and in the same place as him i would want to do the same. immortals are rather emotional creatures in my eyes. i would have assumed that immortals wouldn't have the same mentality as us mere mortals, but alas; they pain too!

Exactly. I was very disappointed with the boss fights in Ragnarok. Although Thor’s first fight comes close.

You're joking. Thor was amazing, both phases

@@falconeshield first Thor fight was amazing. The second one was disappointing and the Odin fight was okay.

And, love those sensation for how far gone you are, driven by all these years.......and finally feel something

Yeah, but after a moment, I realized that Baldur would attempt to kill Kratos and Atreus immediately after he kills Freya.

@@melonscumpthin8643 I know I'm late but I don't think that would've happened. I don't know what he would've done but I don't think he would have tried immediately.
