what if brok got drunk and blew the horn

Theory: The Rift in Odins Basement is connected to or an entrance to Athena’s higher plane of existence, The runes on the Mask were not Norse. Odin stated that it held the truth, and Athena said “I see truths where I did not before”. They are also both a glowing green colour. The only problem is that Athena is grey in GOW 2018 but apart from that it could make sense

Actually. If you keep playing the game. You'll find that the person who blew the horn was someone named "Jorm Ama"

Cory still hyping up this mystery even though the Norse saga is over is really strange

I have to agree with you about the fact that "it's changed internally". I think they had a specific purpose for it, they didn't include it in Ragnarok for whatever reason so now he's trying his best to keep it going. "One day I'll tell everyone" "There is a hint in the world"

Fun fact: If you bring enemies right next to the fake Tyr he automatically gets rid of them or stuns them

Hey uhh I have a question , we know that Atreus mistranslated the mask and then they went in search of it in Helheim but the actual piece was in Niflheim. How come the mask still glow in Helheim and lead us to Garm? Could it be that garm and that realm tear had some connection?

Even on my first playthrough I was sure it was obviously Baldur and I was not even thinking about it!

I think at this point it doesn’t really matter since in the long run it didn’t end up mattering really who blew the horn or if a gallahorn was blown.

I think it’s Atreus time traveling and knows that at the time he was sick and Kratos wasn’t around that area cause he’s been there

I'm 100 percent just gonna ignore what the director said and believe it was kratos in the future

I also just feel like the writers and director just completely forgot about the whole “Eitr Imbued” thing from the first game😂Had no use or relevance in GoW Ragnarok

My guess is it was probably Angrboda asking the World Serpent about the very concerning red skies and stormy weather, plus what seemed like snow/ashes in the wind/air as Kratos rides the boat into the Witch's cave. No one else would have any reason to call the serpent, as nobody but another Jotnar or someone the giants trusted was capable of understanding or speaking Jörmungandr's language.

This could not be Kratos who he called the serpent, cause Kratos blew the Gjallarhorn just to reunite the realms against Asgard itself ! But that person who blew he did blow the Horn on Tyr’s temple to speak with Jörmungandr so my point is ( There is alot of differences between Gjallarhorn and that Horn on the Tyr’s temple )! So we have to be patient to know who was he or she!!

i still think there are signs that heavily point toward angrboda, when she was introduced and she painted her and atreus first meeting exactly how it went down, showing she gets visions and she was determined to play out her role as well as the giant wolves that came to see atreus (stated in lore and legends), so she can fit the description of someone who was following in their footsteps but with corys tweet, he makes it sound more like it could be someone "outside" the nine realms... maybe one of the giants which fled came back or maybe it was this mysterious woman mentioned in the novels, i think this could possibly be skadi... her fathers soul was in a marble and suspiciously mentioned, which means when she held him, she transferred his soul, this could mean she didn't die and as we know, mimir can be wrong, skadi is also someone faye thinks very highly of...

A part of me would think it'd be really fun if the horn blower was Atreus from the future, during his travels with Angrboda to find the giants, and it involved time travel. Did anyone find it weird at all that GOW Ragnarok had no interaction with the world serpent for the whole game? That the horn was missing entirely from Tyr's bridge? Maybe Atreus went back to thank the serpent and revela their relationship to each other, or tell them where to spit up Kratos and Atreus, OR to find the marbles of giants who got sent through time due to plot shenanigans. The mask initially pointed to Garm as a piece of itself, which could imply a connection between the two. Now that Fenrir is at Atreus' disposal, what if they begin to discover the existence of and the capabilities of beings connected to a higher plane (such as Athena and possibly Thor)? Since fenrir can wily nilly rip wholes in space, who is to say that he can't interact with time? Travel between realms is shown heavily to be a very finicky matter since Tyr had to build a whole system to help people travel, and the only other way was to use Yggdrasil, the literal crux of existence to maneuver through space. Garm just being able to do that seems to be a way bigger deal than they let on. Their discovery of this almost "higher order pantheon" would tie in nicely with the theme of the next generation being better and progressing more than the last generation. Then at the end when Atreus and Angrboda find and release the giants back to some sort of corporeal form (or whatever they end up doing with them) they reunite with Kratos to report back their findings of a group of beings capable of wielding power beyond imagination. To find out more, Atreus and Kratos set out to a land known for its incredibly advanced technology, one of the only civilizations known to keep a record of their history, with gods who are so connected to the idea of ascending to a higher order or power that it seems an obvious choice to go. Especially because Kratos has been there already, and then BAM egypt can be set up. Side note: has anyone thought of discussing how OP the giants are in GOW? Their ability to manipulate souls is something a little underexplored in my eyes and makes me wonder if they are somehow connected to the higher order beings.

Cory said that whoever blew the horn was following kratos this could be Athena and obviously the higher realm of existence is related to the mask somehow so this could make sense. Also did anyone else notice that Thors body disintegrated unlike any of the other norse gods? I think it may have something to do with him sacrificing himself for Kratos essentially dying instead of him which then also granted him access to the higher realm of existence the same way Athena got there

Men, Cory… You’re Mentally Torturing Kuba’s Sanity 😂

I hope you're doing more explained, theory, breakdown videos. Kinda figured they'd be coming at a decent pace since the game came out. Would love to hear your thoughts on everything and anything related to this game. Really helps get more perspective since you are pretty knowledgable of GOW and things related to it.

When I was playing the game my first thought was Baldor looking for clues. But remembered that no one speaks the language but Mimir and Atraus. Even if Odin disguised himself the world snake would notice. After watching Thor knock him back in time like in the legend, I'm wondering if Thrud might do the same thing to Atraus in the next game. Or maybe he finds a way to do it himself with giant magic.

Cory: everything happens for a reason in the game and nothing will be left unexplained Also cory: never mentions anything about who blew the horn

It was Baldur. Then SM saw how popular it was and changed it to a mystery but couldn't figure it out and chose to ignore it.

Gjallarhorn sounds nothing like the serpent horn we heard in 2018

Lets be honest, even if they answer in the future, they lost the timing and most of us lost interest in 2018's mysteries, the dwarf dragons that we freed was one of my most disapointing things in ragnarok.

Angrboda was an important giant, hence her being chose to be the one left over to tell loki about them. The 2018 jormungandr has already fought thor at ragnarok so perhaps when angrboda took atreus's advice to not be a slave to fate, she realised who's soul they put into the snake and she had to go back in time to tell him to after telling atreus about wildwoods, whilst the younger version of himself fights, because she knew younger jormungandr with his new body would have a better chance of surviving. Or maybe she thought old jormungandr wouldn't have hit him powerfully enough to be sent back in time, thus him and his younger self would die. And that's why we see him still in midgard, post-ragnarok.

My theory is whoever blew the horn was going to be explained in second game, but then they decided to go with only two games so.. they just didn't explain it. This thing should have been TRILOGY cos Ragnarok felt rushed cos they had to close everything and didn't develop chars sadly. Baldur getting his whole game and Thor/Odin gotta share one with plenty other chars and Ragnarok on top. Whoever decided this thing should be two games made Sony lose tons of money.

4:24 i really wish we could see more of the helhiem zues in ragnarok

Yeah I get you Kuba completely but hey at least thank you for doing a Brief recap of this man and I personally almost believe it'll be someone like Atreus from the future somehow

I agree I think. I bet the internal answer has evolved. Tbh.. who blew the horn wasn’t obvious to me the first time I played the game. So.. the next logical conclusion in my mind was for the next game to answer that and it didn’t. Therefore me very confused. Corey was so on point with the story I was sure it was intentional that it was super important and secret.

I feel like a lot of people (including you) are forgetting the fact that Cory said there are "stuff" in the 2018 game that will make sense "later" and "MUCH later" so I don't think this has anything to do with "change of plans" by the writers. I hate that you of all people are jumping to this conclusion.

The rift in odins basement was just a portal to that moment where the horn was being blown odins entire goal was just to find out who blew the horn and now we’ll never know

Maybe Athena? There has to be some sort of endgame for this series and I think that Athena would be the Thanos of the saga?

No matter how many times I see it kratos starting ragnarok always gives me chills. I really like the theory to bad he said it’s not what happened

I think there will be an Atreus spinoff game where he will time travel yo search for the giants. There he will blow the horn. Also his relationship with Sindri will further develop

Mimir was technically “following in their footsteps”

I never realized how big of a deal that horn blow was. I just figured it was either baldur or magni/modi, forget which one lived lmao.

It's heartbreakig hearing you like that, I can feel the disappointment after many many questions that are still not answered in ragnarok and the subsequent loss of will to try and theorize further

I think that it was originally supposed to be Baldur, Odins tracker but, maybe time constraints made them cut out that part of the story. Cory stated that we would find out who blew the horn in ragnarok but, after all the theories started giving more hype they decided to just leave it a mystery purposefully until they can flesh out a more meaningful explanation. My theory is that it was Odin in tyrs form since he's the only aesir God jormy wouldn't immediately try to destroy.

I didn't know that the horn blowing was such a big mystery. I always assumed it was Baldur.

I think it was Hildisvini, hoping to ask Jormungandr about finding a way to bypass Orin’s block on realm travel to Vanaheim, but he was unsuccessful in this regard due to still being trapped in his boar form.

I always assumed it was just Baldur looking for them. At the end Baldur says "I knew hurting the big snake would bring out you two" which I took as him trying the same trick earlier but failed because of Kratos and Atreus being on the elevator, heading to Freyas. This, along with Cory Barlog himself putting out the tweet about it being someone "following in their footsteps", it seems like a solid bet.

I believe faye sealed her soul and awakened when magni died(coincidence that this happens after magni s death and before modi s death) she s also one of the few people who can communicate with jormugandr since they were speaking a language uncommon like god of war 2018 said(which i guess its the giant language). She must ve blew the horn asking jormugandr to help her go to jothuneim and destroy the mural we see in the end of raganrok(kratos being praised)

it is something epic they had in mind - I think sms simply thought of "let's blow the horn now as it'll be an epic mystery" but they haven't yet worked out how they will crescendo this climax - then they simply haven't figured it out yet what way they wanna take it - I think it's that simple

I feel like Cory Barlog just made that and is now reading all theories from fans to pick the best answer.

Hey kaptain kuba, are you going to make a video about the mask? Obsidiani spitha is obsidian spark in Greek. I think the mask has different words from different mythologies

Atreus is able to communicate with the Serpent without the horn by just yelling lol. So I'm guessing it wasn't him time travelling who blew the horn. It's got to be someone else who knew where they were and could also change the weather - red sky, rain etc.

What are your predictions about God of War 6 ? Will it be set in Egypt ? If yes then what are the gods Kratos is going to face ? Will atraus and freya be with him ? Will mimir get a new body ? Will kratos and Freya marry each other? What will be atraus's story with angroboda after Ragnarok ? What will sindri do next ? What will Thor's daughter and wife do after Ragnarok ? Will Kratos become the Al Father ?

I am admittedly disappointed with how they handled Hraesvelgr considering the importance of the creature to Loki in Norse Mythology but perhaps they'll do more with her in future games.

It was Baldur forsure, just like he was asking Mimir where they were he asked jormungandr too. At the end Baldur says “i had a feeling wounding the snake would bring you two out” since talking to it first when he blew the horn wasn’t successful.

It can’t be the Gjallarhorn because it sounds completely different than the serpent horn, it wasn’t Baldur because if it was we would’ve heard fighting noises cause guess what Jormy hates the Aesir

The person called "lazy writing" blew the horn.

I love your theory's some of your theory's are accurate

Okay i might be completely wrong but i Think the person who blew the Horn was Faye. I say this because Faye was the only one other than Baldr who was tracking Kratos and Atreus’s Steps throughout their Journey in God of War 2018. Atreus even says that Mother had been tracking all our steps even before we took it, it’s like she was with us all along. With Cory’S tweet about someone who was tracking Kratos and Atreus, this might be the only logical answer. Now how did Faye come while she was dead or what she wanted with the Serpent, i can’t answer lol. This is just my assumption. 😂

Hey kuba. Have you noticed that garm the wolf that Loki turns into fenrir is somehow connected to the mask. The mask leads Loki while he is in hel to garm then stops working after he is free. Then when garm is tearing claw marks between realms they look the exact same as the tear in Odins basement.

It was jormagander he likes to toot his own horn

Could you do a video on where they're going next? My theory: Over the centuries Greece was rebuilt as The Etruscan Civilization & Alexander the Great united it with Egypt & Persia, so there's 3 pantheons to deal with. Menrva (Athena) leads the remaining 8 Olympians: Turan (Aphrodite), Tivr (Luna), Fufluns (Dionysus), Zerene (Demeter), Aplu (Apollo), Artume (Artemis), Hestia (No Etruscan name) & Herself. The Ennead & Ogdoad would be interesting to see as well. Ptah, Neith (Mother of Ra) & Atum are the 3 creator gods in different versions of Egyptian Mythology.

Kaptain Kuba, there's a hint that's been staring everyone in the face and I would like this theory to get some traction and reach the devs so we would see their reaction. Here's my best theory on it, back in God Of War 2018, Kratos was wondering why the serpent dropped him and Atreus near Thamur's corpse, that is a major hint that indicates that whoever talked to the serpent asked him to drop Kratos and his son at that location because that were Baldur landed after fighting with the son and Kratos needed to be there in order to fight Baldur and kill him to bring Fimbulwinter that'll lead to Ragnarök. I thought that maybe in thee first draft they were going to time travel but not in the traditional way of God Of War 2 or Back To The Future, because that breaks the laws of causality, they were going to do it like inHarry Potter 3 or Watchmen (the series), where what's happened already did, so I think that maybe the idea was that Kratos and Atreus start the game by trying to stop Ragnarök by preventing Baldur's death, but then they realize that they should bring about Ragnarök and go back in time to rectify that by asking the serpent to drop their past selves next to Baldur. This is a major departure and it would've changed the whole game (seeing how the story ended up being in God Of War Ragnarök), but I don't know maybe it was just a chapter that could've been cut. I'm a little bit bothered because Cory kept teasing fans who were asking him about this in the past 4 years, and he's teasing right now because so many people are asking the questions after finishing the game. Some people say that it was Baldur trying to lure out Kratos and Atreus, but if that's true, you can add it to one of the most disappointing reveals in entertainment history (the first one for me is how Nick Fury lost his eye in the MCU, and that's another discussion in itself)

I blew the horn

so many questions like the horn, the mask, the giants, and things that weren’t a part of atreus and kratos intimate story (which is what these two games were really about) will be answered in future titles. cory told eric that three things must happen: ragnarok, atreus leaving, and brok dying. those last two being specifically requested by cory tells me he has ideas for what to do with that.

Another God from another Pantheon asking Jormi for directions to find Kratos

What I really wanted to know is what would've happened if Atreus used Odin's mask. Also, is the mask somehow related to Athena and the higher form of existance? Becauw Odin was obsessed about what happens after he dies

People are freaking out because of the unanswered questions in ragnarok because they are treating ragnarok as the final god of war game but it's not, santa monica knows what they're doing, any unanswered questions will be answered in future games

i dont know what you want to do and honestly do whatever you want well probably watch it but if you can keep the hunt for any lore in the new game there is so much to look for and learn this game is massive

Still gonna believe it's Loki doing time shenanigans, calling the Oldest Snakey-boi

We will find out in another 5 years and in a different pantheon when nobody gives a shit anymore. The story in this game was a huge let down. Waited almost 5 years for answers just to be left with more questions. Oh and the world serpent plays such a huge role in ragnarok, world serpent was in the game for a total of 5 minutes, wow how awesome.

One thing that I am still stuck on is the swirling blades in the sky even before we go see Freya to heal Atreus. Before we knew we needed it again. Why? I still think, if we met the person who blew the horn already, it will be Athena. I also stand by the idea that Ragnarok is like GOW2018. Great game but it's main purpose is to prepare us for the next game where the one who blew the horn will more than be revealed. And I think we are not done with the crack Odin was obsessed with.

It very well could be someone from an entirely different pantheon, we do hear about them throughout the game. And if Mimir knew of Kratos before they met and Faye had prophecies about him I don’t see a reason why other gods from different realms wouldn’t know about him and Ragnarok.

Now we just wait a few more years for answers to the other questions and now new ones

Next vid: Hidden New gods in Asgard: Viðar, Bragi and Hoðr.

Not to mention Kratos and company have seen Jormangandr since the scene where the horn was sounded and he’s just chillin in the lake like he had been doing. There was no clue or indication that it was an enemy or someone hostile otherwise he’d have probably bought it up to Mimir

I don’t know if you’ll make any theories anytime soon, but I’d like to drop this question/theory basis here. Who is the Soul inside of Jormungandr? Personally I like to think it is Hrimthur who’s soul was the basis, as the Jötunn himself is described by Freya as being fine with Vanir, yet having an intense hatred for the Aesir (Thor the fat dobber in particular) (I’m sure the name is probably dropped in the marbles cutscene, or the name could be read off the ball in the cutscene in Gryla’s home.)

Ya I thought it was pretty obvious that it was just Baldur trying to find them. Especially when at the end of the game he does the same thing and hurts the serpent to draw them out. They had just killed Magni, and this was a scene meant to let us know that the Aesir know what we’ve done

It was Odin shapeshifted as Tyr. Someone walking in their footsteps looking for them but wouldn't cause the world serpent to attack.

'Theory' that's it only video I am waiting for

heimdall: see this horn? I'll be the who one started ragnaro- kratos: GIVE ME THOSE!

Santa Monica had one job and we still don’t know who blew that horn..

I would like u to talk about what do u expect in the next game , i know its tuff but u the only one to do that

Modi ran away after Atreus was hurt. So Baldur could’ve blown the horn to look for Kratos.

You got a new sub for the giveaway, but you got a friend for your videos 😎

I like the “kratos blew it to tell jormungandr to drop them where he did to fight Baldr” theory” hehe

Its true that the ones who "were following in their footsteps" could very well be Baldur, but I doubt that's what's going on here. Rather I think he was referring to what has yet happened, in which case I think it's Atreus and Angrboda (and possibly Thrud) are the prime suspects. I believe the next game will be an Atreus game, in which they travel the Norse realm completing the aftermath of Ragnarok, the Rebirth aspect when the fallen Gods come back to life, but it won't be the Norse Gods they revive rather it'll be the Giants.

issue I had with Ragnarok is there were effectively the exact same amount of Aesir gods you fight as the previous game. GOW 2018: Magni, Modi, 2x fights with Baldur Ragnarok: Heimdall, Odin, 2x fights with Thor The entire plot of 2018's story was dad and boy spreading the ashes of dead wife, while one is *literally Ragnarok* Also didnt like how a lot of events could be just explained away as "Giant Stuff." (like the portal to escape from Surtr). the thing I really loved about the previous god of war, was that despite never even seeing these characters, and most of these characters having died long before the events of 2018, they were still explained with great detail. Just by listening to their stories by Mimir, you know what those people are capable of, but now that you get to meet some of these characters in Ragnarok, all that lore and the abilities of these characters just get passed off as "Giant Stuff." Definitely enjoyed GOWR but it still felt lazy.

Don't you think it could be Odin who blew the horn. Maybe he just took the appearance of someone else to make Jormungandr believes he was a friend and then asked him about Kratos and Atreus' objective. Odin could have taken the shape of Tyr for example.

intro goes hard

Am waiting for this video since I completed the game

After hearing the scene from 2018 and then Kratos using gjallarhorn more than a few times, I'm personally convinced it's not Kratos. The horn to summon jormmie sounds completely different: has like a low, grumbly sorta tone and also shorter. Gjallarhorn sounds more melodic, higher pitched and lasts longer.

I like to think it was Angrboda visiting Jörmungandr letting him know Atreus will be okay.

Maybe by Cory saying he'll create the moment to answer this, it'll be explained in the upcoming TV show in Prime Video's take of 2018's God of War!

This was one of the things I wanted answered, and it’s one of the many things that didn’t get answered

Maybe the real horn was the friends we made along the way.

Kratos:🍑💨 Mimic:somebody just called the serpent Kratos:👀…yes

That armor though 🔥

Nice intro man

Actually keep playing for 69420 hours and you wil lfind out that "ðeos Ŋűť§ BLEW IT

I think this is going to be answered later. I’ve had a theory the next game will at least start out in Norse and we will see the travel to a new one. Maybe they find a new mural or find out something happened to Atreus on his search for the giants. Or it will be an Atreus game I’m not sure. But I predict the first few hours in game will be in Scandinavia before transitioning over and this, along with the mask, and how Jormy travelled back since Cory has stated the Thor part wasn’t exactly it will all be answered.

If it was Baldur, he and the serpent would've ended up fighting. Baldur doesn't speak the same language as Jormungandr, and the serpent has hatred for the Aesir. Tyr was most likely already locked up at that point of time. Unless he was still roaming at that time and following Kratos and Atreus from afar and only got locked up later in the story. Angrboda, maybe? Maybe she was already trying to make contact with Atreus and decided to talk with the World Serpent about him or to ckeck Atreus's progress in the prophecy storyline. Odin disguised as Tyr or another giant? Maybe, but I think atthat point of time he would most likely still be recluded in Asgard, to maintain his presence unknown. It is likely that Sindri and Brok would notice his presence. And it is likely that the serpent would notice Odin in disguise and initiate a fight. Or some kind of comotion. Atreus coming back in time? Probably. Thor has giant blood in him, and it is likely that his Jottun heritage has made Jormungandr go back in time. We know that the Giants had the ability to foresee the future, maybe they had the ability of some way to go back in time as well. Maybe Atreus will gain this ability and go back in time and talk to the serpent at the moment that his younger self is ill. So, my bet is either Tyr, Angrboda or Atreus himself.

Sounds to me like DLC where Atreus goes back in time and calls the OG

First thing I thought after beating this game “Better check the Captains page” lmao

The bauldur theory actually still kinda holds up since he died after jormangundr was sent back in time and thus bauldur was not present for Ragnarok at the time jormangundr was sent back. A paradox for sure but retcons fix everything these days

In the words of Jar Jar Abrams: “Mystery Box” 🤦‍♂️
