I love how Kratos is literally the "Unaccounted variable" he can completely screw this prophecy and I'd love to see how it affects Odin's psychological state

I totally agree with you. Fayes ashes might revive the giants and experience the fight again

I still remember when I got to Jotunnheim and got to that peak and I was all excited, then I saw that hand in the distance and started looking around, seeing all the corpses. The game's ability to show these scenes in a way that make you feel shock or awe is why I always come back to the series

I can’t exclaim how pumped I am for GOW5. Atreus being Loki and leading the giants, the world serpent joining the fight, Ragnarok coming, Surtur coming, possibly Fenrir and other Norse beasts, Odin being pissed, and Thor vs Kratos. So much to look forward to.

I am afraid Santana Monica studios is gonna assassinate captain cuba before he reveals anything else... I guess he's coming way too close to the plot of the next game.

"The scene of Magni's death. You can tell Modi found this scene surprising maybe because he didn't know Kratos was a god killer" Yea... OR its him watching his brother get butchered that shocked him.

I love how when kratos goes to sleep he doesn’t remove mimir from his waistline. A god who is prob 300 pounds just hibernating on a head seems uncomfortable

Here's a thought to ponder: Notice how Faye's handprint is on the tree. I think she may have possessed healing abilities. It could be that by spreading her ashes all of the giants are somehow brought back to life. It would be her ultimate defiance of Odin from beyond the grave. It would also go along with Norse mythology of how Loki leads an army of giants into Ragnarok.

Me: Every theory had been discused there is nothing anymore Kaptain Kuba: hold my beer

"So the time travel is possible in the god of war universe" you seem to forgot in gow2 when kratos got back in time to kill zeus

I’m pretty sure there’s a Nordic story where a giant cast illusions on Thor and I think it’s what’s happening here. The giants aren’t dead it’s just an illusion

You know, I'm _really_ liking this theory of time relativity and how it relates to Ragnarok, on account that Yggdrasil, the tree that binds all the 9 realms of reality together is the physical manifestation of the spacetime continuum. An argument could easily be made that some realms are closer or further away from the trunk of Yggdrasil. If I remember correctly, the action that sends Jormungandr back in time is that during his and Thor's battle, Yggdrasil itself is broken. The implications here are just * muah *

The GoW universe is expanding. Kratos might even fight Cthulhu underwater, or even go to space to beat the crap out of Azathoth.

Hmmm. Faye goes to Midgard right before Ragnarok and knowing that the giants will die, meets Kratos and has a kid with him, Atreus (who is gonna eventually lead the Giants in the future). She maybe knows the exact time correlation between the 2 realms, and as a result, she times her death right after Ragnarok. Kratos then, goes to Jotunheim, spreads the asses so that the Giants may return to life for the Ragnarok in our timeline? We also dont know, why and how Faye did die. That will probably be said and explained in an ''All makes sense now'' moment in the next game?

9:04 no one talking about the fact he is straight crushing mimir

I'm more intersted in Brok and Sindri's lore At first, they simply looks like some standard videogames shopkeeper. But as story unfold, turns out they played bigger role than that. From the fact that they're the one who create both Mjolnir and Leviathan axe, to their ability to just pop out everywhere (brok even shows up from behind a pillar in helheim, offering an upgrade for kratos blade, ones even kratos himself didn't realize he needed said upgrade) And what especially intrique me is how during kratos and atreus's short journey with Freya, they passed both Sindri's and brok's shop and they're not at their place. Freya herself mentioned that she didn't see anyone at the shop during her travel to meet Kratos.

the one really anoys me is kratos sleeping with mimir kissing his ass

So the prohecy doesn’t include Kratos, so that means Kratos can stop the deaths of Freyr and change major events in Ragnarok like Odin’s death via Fenrir and Freyr’s sword being exchanged for his wife Geror?

I wonder how time works in Asgard compared to Midgard and the other realms we visited? Consider that Atreus and kratos completed their entire journey, which even if you don’t do everything encapsulates TWO full visits to Helheim. As well as however long kratos was inside the light of alfheim. And to top everything they went to jotunheim for at least a solid 10 minutes. And then they slept for years and only then Thor arrives to kill them. So does time move 10 times slower in Asgard compared to everywhere else?

Thor killed the giants, Mimir told that story about how Thor wormed his way into their realm. And he slaughtered them once he got noticed are something like that. Odin and Thor are the reason the giants are all gone. Bc the giants were suppose to be apart of Odins downfall. Odin is scared of ragnorok bc of his death, Mimir talks about it during the game alot.

There is some point in the game, when the gate to jotunheim on the midgard mountain is opened. If the time theory is true, then at that point jotunheim shouldn't have any dead bodies, or there should be something different on it.

I have a theory than when Kratos and Atreus were in alfeim, the voices Atreus heard might have been the giants in joutenheim speaking to him

I’ve played this amazing game 5 times now, and what I can’t figure out is why Atreus tells Kratos that being a giant is a race and not how tall they are, yet all of the giants in jotunheim that are dead are all huge. I just started watching the video so if you explain it thanks lol

This is a pretty good theory, one of your best! The implications of the time dilation could be staggering, by your calculations for every day that passes in Jotunheim, 5.5 years pass in Midgard. If Jormangander was knocked into Midgard 250 years ago, that would have only been 6 weeks prior to Kratos and Artreus arriving in Jotunheim. Although there is one obvious flaw, the theory relies on the premise that the Giants died fighting in Jotunheim - I think Occam's Razor is best used in this scenario: the simplest explanation is that most of those who were shown bloodied were actually attacked and mortally wounded in Midgard by Thor, and managed to escape to Jotunheim before succumbing to their injuries. This is consistent with the Jotun sculptures and scripts prior to seeing the mural. Modi's words do have me perplexed, although if he knows Thor is going to die at Ragnorak he could just be boasting about his future inheritance.

What if those Giants were fighting Thor as they fled Midgard, and sustained mortal wounds and thus died. And those that Survived went to Utgard where the Giant Utgard-Loki lives. Utgard-Loki did make his Fortress disappear in the actual mythology. Maybe the next game involves finding Utgard

I was there when Kuba had this realization about this theory on the live stream. Such a good theory!

I’ve figured it out. Basically, all nine realms run on different clocks; each realm experiences time differently. As a result, Ragnarok happens at different times in each realm. So, the elves get their Ragnarok separately from the giants, and the giants get their Ragnarok separately from Asgard and so on. So, Ragnarok had already happened in Jotunheim, explaining Modi’s comments. It also explains why all the giants are dead. The reason why Odin is so deathly afraid of Ragnarok is because, in Asgard, they’ve already killed the Giants. This leaves Odin scrambling to ensure that there’s no way for Ragnarok to properly commence on Midgard and Asgard. However, Kratos’ arrival in the Norselands broke prophecy. Faye most likely noticed Kratos’ arrival, and left Jotunheim for Midgard in order to change the future. I’m assuming there was something more than just ashes in Faye’s ashes, or maybe even the Leviathan Axe is even more special than it seems. Nonetheless, this time bullshit is wack. However, I wonder how they’re going to explain why Loki’s origin is different? How was Faye able to give birth to him? Perhaps Ragnarok has happened before (outside of this current cycle), and Faye/the giants realized the importance of Loki to the triggering of it? Perhaps the Giants wish to break the cycle of Ragnarok? Perhaps Odin already broke the cycle, and the Giants are attempting to mend it? Perhaps even Loki himself was in on the bargain between Tyr and the Giants? Maybe he WAS this cycle’s Tyr (he is a trickster god, after all). Not to mention there are even inaccuracies in Mimir’s stories, one of them specifically about Frigg. I’m curious to see what play they will take on the mythology of it all.

All i can say is that Santa Monica needs to hire you ASAP. Your theory is pretty much the next GOW. Just perfect and truly epic and deserving of the greatness of this game.

Me: So Mimir knows everything about Midgard Kaptain Kuba: Hold my beer

Well Faye did tell them to go to that spot specifically. She probably knew the battle was gonna go down. She just wasn’t sure when (meaning timeline wise w/ the whole time lopes)

You got some things wrong that would change the answer. You mentioned that “time moves faster in Jotunheim”. It moves faster in Midgard. Thats why Fimblewinter had seemed to arrive at an accelerated pace. 20 minutes of jotunheim is experienced while possibly a month has gone by in midgard. The likely answer is that jotunheim is still after ragnarok but that its because it was somehow tied to the world serpent. Atreus is the father of the world serpent after all and it was sent back in time to before its birth after clashing with thor. Thats why it appeared in the lake randomly. I suspect that it is somehow entangled with jotunheim as one of the only two giants. So jotunheims future was connected to the present through the world serpent

Spot on, plus Mimir also mentioned that perhaps the world snake had already fought Thor at Ragnarok but got knocked back in time. Mimir also mentioned that the world snake was the last giant which is why they went to it to ask how to get to the realm of the giants. Mimir also mentioned that the world snake spoke a dead language and since the giants had all been gone for a long time and are dead in the future, you notice that indeed the world snake got knocked back in time by Thor during Ragnarok. Mimir also said that the giants were the best at prophecy and we get an Idea as to why with all these timeline variation stuff which the giants did best. During the mission where the dead giant was, Atreus was using old giant time magic to move that platform upwards and Mimir explained that even before the giants left, they had stopped using time magic because it was problematic. I watched the ragnarok trailer and it turns out that TYR, the other one with the special eyes like Mimir was a giant himself despite having all dwarf sons. TYR could travel between the realms which could explain why the giants have a sort of special connection with the world tree and sometimes see the future like in a dream. That means that reality and timelines are pretty much relative to them. Seems to me Atreus mother had a plan to change fate which is why she dragged us all the way to the land of the giants and not just to spread her ashes. I think Atreus will have a big role in Ragnarok to change the future since he's a giant and a god, plus kratos said that that mural at the end was about Atreus Kratos often stated that prophecy and fate were lies of the gods and we see that on that mural at the giants realm where their whole journey had been prophesied and that Kratos would die at Ragnarok. I'm thinking that Kratos will escape fate and shape the future. Also, odin seemed pretty paranoid and freya mentioned that norse gods didn't like strangers so perhaps there's a reason. I read the codex and somewhere in there it said that Atreus thought that maldur or whatever, was traking them down but then realized that he was after his mother that was nothing but ashes. I just finished the game and paid a lot of attention. What you're saying makes sense. That's what I concluded too.

Spartans assemble! Within a two metre distance!😂👍

They just got impatient being hidden on their own for years , and civil war broke out and they killed themselves . Underwhelming I know .

Possibly one of the realms makes time go backwards

Come to think of it, why would Modi earn Thor’s hammer if Thor was still alive? Thor keeps Mjolnr in his possession basically until he dies by Jormangandr. Unless Ragnarok already happened and Jormangandr and Thor already killed each other and Magni and Modi have to prove who takes the hammer next. But we know Jormangandr and Thor are still alive in THIS timeline. But there could also be another timeline? I dont know man, it just seems odd for Thor to entrust his hammer to one of his sons before his fight with Jormangandr in Ragnarok

Title: 'Why are the GIANTS dead?' Me: Because Thor killed them. Edit: People are really trying to fact-check a joke, wow Edit 2: Dear god, it's been a whole year and people still don't get the joke.

I never noticed the giants at the end 😂😂

At 3:52(top part of the mural) , you could see Kratos fighting (possibly killing) the World Serpent in a battle, not the the Boss fight dragon dragon where the game lead to Kratos killing it. This is because we see at the time mentioned earlier was Atreus looking at the different side of the walls which was discovered, while Kratos is portrayed with the point of view of looking only up and down. This leads to why it is interesting since Kaptain Kuba mentioned the mural where it is portrayed that Kratos will be killed by Odin(possibly retrieving the Leviathan Axe and another World serpent will be reborn by Loki/Atreus as a part of vengeance or for killing his father, (I believe the matter the clothes depicted by the mural where only Kratos has viewed is non existant) continuing Ragnarok again. This also means that Thor will fight (maybe a reborned or first experience of the World Serpent). Concluding that; *maybe Jörmungandr was killed by Kratos, not Thor, due to the red eyes of the Jörmungandr {possibly cursed} depicted by t at the mural (3:52) *Odin will kill Kratos, gaining acces to the Leviathan Axe *The depiction of Ragnarok shows Thor battling a reborned serpent Or maybe just Loki (depicted by Kaptain Kuba) giving birth to the serpent back in time before Ragnarok first occured

According to the Mythology, Thor dies during Ragnarok. So if Ragnarok happened already, how does Thor appear years later at the end of the game??

When Kratos and Atreus are inspecting the Jotunheim Mural, Atreus exlaims "We're so close to the end now!" with Kratos responding "Yes.... yes we are". We thought he meant their journey and the end of the game, BUT with your theory to consider perhaps it also refers to Ragnrok and all the dead giants that are seen during that cutscene. Something about Kratos and Atreus meeting Jormungandr (Fayes plan in action) after he was sent back to Midgard and the lake of nine makes me think you're right about the timeline AND that he may have not been the only other one to have time traveled. If Jormungandr went back, I wonder who else has?!?! GIVE ME GOW 5!

If this theory is true that MEANS WE GET TO SEE FAYE

I was so mesmerized by jotenheim, I could not look away from all the dead giants whilst pondering what could of happened to them

It was confirmed in the game that future events have already happened. Mimir speaks about the fight between the World Serpent and Thor that shook the realms and is why World Serpent is in Midgard. When questioned about him fighting Thor, Mimir says the fight hasn't happened yet and either outright says it or implies that the fight ripped a hole through time and sent the World Serpent back to the present day of the game.

Heck , we might even se Older Kratos and atreus meeting the 'young' kratos , who was travelling from Greek to Norse ( mythological timeline ) ... and might actuallly see whatever happened and how he met frye ( we know how ... but , we dont know why )

I think kratos and atreus have done something and changed the fate of the giants as mimir said,the prophecy didnt count on him. Just a theory. :)

One thing that struck me that I havent yet seen anyone comment on are the clouds/fog underneath the giants. The giants too seem to be clinging for dear life to these mountains. Crawling, agonizing and succumbing to this green colored fog. Or poison.

@3:18 the example given gave me Cartmen vibe when he tried to freeze himself so time goes faster so he doesnt have to wait 3 weeks for the game console

That theory with Zeus in Helheim had me wonder: If Kratos kills Odin and moves on to maybe Ireland, then fallen Olympians, Aesir gods and the Tuatha de dannan can join forces to destroy Kratos and Atreus

What if Kratos and atreus go back in time during the events of the first game, during fayes funeral right after kratos and atreus went hunting. Faye fakes her own death like how Juliet does in Shakespeare's novel. Now you may be asking what about the ashes or fire, she could use a spell to be fire resistant and well maybe atreus from the future, seeing how he is a god of mischief/tricks, what if he used a similar spell that Freya uses to animate the dead like how she did to mimir and put it over where faye was suppose to be cremated, making kratos from the past think its fayes ashes. Once they release the ashes the giants all get reanimated right after kratos and atreus leave. Could also explain atreus from the future blew the horn to call the world serpent. Also just for extra insanity theory. What if kratos and atreus go way back in time to the event where Kratos accidentally kills his old family, building tension between kratos and atreus later on in the next game .

It kill for someone to free cam around there and take a closer look at the Giants.

Good theory! To add on, I think the mural at the end depicts both the past and future, if that makes sense. Since he changed the prophecy, I believe that mural represents what's going to happen, and already did. It's a weird paradox lol the serpent is Loki, who already experienced the Ragnarok battle where Kratos is killed, he has to guide them to the means of "going back" in GoW.

Your theories sends chills I hope you know that.

My guess is that some of them let themselves be killed knowing that the ashes of fey would revive them by magic and by the time of ragnarok they all would be alive by coming into contact with them. Whenever they come back they would be ready to fight again against the aesir

Atreus: Time to play Cyberpunk CD projekt Red: haha jokes on you.

The thing you said about Giants not predicting the future but just writing what had happened in the past could make sense on how faye know things will play out in long run

Didn't odin find a way to jotinhaim after all the allfather is crazy about prophices and in odin's room he stole tyr's panting to see the way to jotinhaim ? But your theory is good, and if we were lucky fat thor will be in the next game 😂

I reckon that when Kratos and Atreus arrive in Jotenheim, its 100 years ahead in time , just after Ragnarok, which is when it was scheduled in prophecy according to Mimir. As there are murals depicting the games journey and the fact Cory has said that Faye had literally marked the way for them, its seems a new prophecy arose AFTER the events of Odin's double crossing and Jotenheim being completely shut off from the other realms (hence why no one other than the giants there would ever find out about it) I reckon Faye lived through or at least left before Ragnarok and went to Midgard as the "gaurdian" of the secret prophecy to make the necessary preparations to bring it into fruition. There's more to it I'm sure but I've literally just come up with this theory

"I still have some of her in my beard." - Kratos.

you know what i realized and no one else realized what if the giants are in a very deep slumber and it looks like there dead and the ashes of faye brings them back ?

I 100% agree with everything you say and gives the game a whole new point of view, but I hope the next game doesn't because when time travel is added to a plot it makes things complicated really quick

Now that the PS5 is all revealed,etc... I can’t wait for the trailer for the new GOW drop...I can’t wait to play the next GOW and say :”Hey! Kaptain Kuba predicted this and that!”

One of your assumptions is that the Giants only had the Aesir as enemies.. 👀 Maybe Olympus is back..

The first few seconds of the video, and the last message of Atreus and Kratos to Faye broke my heart to pieces. I treat Atreus like my son already because I like how he talks and behaves in his age. I wish Atreus will age too slowly because I like the baby Atreus that we used to know.

Maybe that’s why Thor shows up at the end...maybe he also got sent in the past(to our timeline) from the Ragnarok battle along with the serpent...and because of this disturbance, Ragnarok already happened in some realms and didn’t in others or something like that...Man oh man! This is getting so confusing😂

There's this thing about theories.... you don't know if they're true, but they do give you a sense of complete-ness.... filling up these blanks in the story!

Thor might have attacked the giants since he assumed the prophecy is over

"why are the giants dead?" Thor : because they were not a calm and reasonable people

who remembers when kuba thought of it during his livestream?

Good theory. But i dont see how mimir would be wrong or to just forget what he said lol

I already can hear the line. Oh boy here i go altering the timeline again

I had always assumed those were the dead bodies from the story that Mimir tells of Thor being cloaked and travelling to Jotunheim with Odin and Frejya where he slays all the giants he can before Frejya uses magic to cast them back to Midgard. Made the most logical sense to me at the time.

It still amazes me that its been two years

I have 2 theorys First one is : i cant totally believe that faye is dead cause of old age and mimir confirms me when he say (but its rare amonge the legends) replaying atreus when he asked if gaints die from old age And the second is : the world serpent talked at the first time when he meet atreus and kretos and it seemed like an important speech but unfortinatly mimir wasn't there 2 translate it 🌚💔 . And about (god of war fallen god) believe me it isnt gonna be aierd cause we're gonna see it in the next god of war game 🌚💔

Hey Kaptain Kuba, Great video. Loving these theories. Here's one for you. What if Kratos is not Farbauti and that they are actually two different characters despite both having married Faye at one point in time? Going off of what you said about Jotunheim being the future timeline. This would make sense for Kratos to not exist in that time line. The murals with kratos/tyre and the snake coming out of his mouth, would not actually kratos but may be Farbauti. Maybe implying that Jormi is actually Farbauti. If Kratos already existed in the future timeline, he would have killed all the gods this is kratos we are talking about afterall. So this would make sense in the perspective that Kratos is the key to changing the fate of ragnarok and that he only exists in the current timeline whereas in other timelines (past/future) farbauti exists instead of him. This would also mean that the atreus we see in the current timeline is not the same as the atreus in the future timeline. Maybe the future timeline Atreus is more closer in personality to the trickster god Loki in this respect. He may be very similar in appearance on the murals, however, the personality wise he may be completely different than atreus. Not having the same sort of rage and instead opting for a more jokeful personality. Thoughts?

What if, Kratos and Atreus got to Jolhelheim right after Thor’s visit!

I lost it when he used cyperpunk as an example 😂😂

Firstly great video, secondly I know what I am going to say is probably not true, but what if Faye cast a very powerful and ancient spell which put the giants into a death like sleep/slumber to make it seem to the Aesir gods like they are actually dead, and the only thing which could "revive" them are the ashes of the woman who cast this spell, aka Faye, like I said this probably is not true but a cool thought

i have a theory about why the giants are dead. No one ever wondered why mimir/ head ever existed, he says he was all arround everywere and met like everyone ( but what is mimir's true purpose ? ) Kratos does not know unlike anyone in the entire game knows or actually talks about the goals of mimir . Who is mimir for real ? and why was he lifebounded to know as much as possible about everyone and everything ?" he even heard about the Ghost of sparta " but is "surprised "when he is dangeling on krato's hip when kratos admits he's the Ghost after a little pretend guessing from mimir . ( there is only 1 marked warrior through all the realms and everyone knows him )... "The fact that he heard about a ghost " does imply to me that mimir does know how to control time and maybe even travel through time to pull strings in events that still needed to happen through the god of war games . ( because everything goes slower in jotenheim in comparison to mid-gard ) how does mimir know such a ghost ever existed if he never shared the same time as kratos ? Mimir i think is a god himself but unspoken off or some unknown god who still has he's part to play before the entire story is over . Now i came to the thought that mimir could be the stick in the fire that caused the giants deaths by certain knowledge about the giants, wich caught Odins attention ( that's why Odin keeps mimir locked up in a tree for eternity ) because of untold knowledge not mentioned through the entire game . The knowlegde of victory over everything (something like that is very valuable and changes everything if you already know everything ), it could change the course of history and present all at the same time . Mimir wanted to be locked up in the tree by Odin even tho he says he didn't want that ( Mimir expects Kratos to show up ) Mimir needed an excuse to actually meet the God killer Himself and this "suddenly" happen to be inside the plan of Athreus he's mother . Athreus he's mother ( Faye ) story ended at the end of the game because " she didn't want" to look further into the future. ( the only thing she wanted was her son to know the truth about himself and the choice she could leave behind for him whenever he decides to be Loki or not ) end of her story . ( ashes are spread ) The real story is still to be told ( this is could be a part of a bigger story ) or is being told by Kratos himself at he's deathbed ( to Athreus ) or someone else ( himself maybe ), but eventually it's the story of the god of war ( Kratos ) never forget that . ( many games could be released before it comes down to that fact ) " i'm overthinking " Mimir knows Freya,knows her son,he knows athreus he's mother ( Faye ), he knows even the goddamn world serpent. ( he must also know about their strengths and weaknesses to ) no matter who it is . mimir knows ! Mimir is a master of disguise through the voice he uses in the entire game( what he does is befriending Kratos and he's son the entire time ) " befriend the one you need for your ultimate goal ", he know how to start conversations to discover things, he knows wich tone or voice to use when speaking to certain creatures or other gods . ( no one could even imagine mimir could be a certain threat especially when he's head is cut off ) not even Kratos himself suspects anything ( kratos believes he's in control by using short words or sentences ) mimir knows how to deal with types like Kratos, Kratos surely isn't the first person in Mimirs life who had an attitude like Kratos, except mimir doesn't say anything about that . + What is that tattoo written text on Mimir's head ? no one talks about that text . Mimir even frightened Kratos just a little with he's knowledge about the fact he knows Kratos is a god and should tell he's son the truth about himself . ( Kratos gets a little defensive on that part for a short time ) and these kind of little situations occur more during the game . Mimirs voice is just a cover up for who he is . I even think Mimir created the whole event and started pulling strings before Kratos ever met athreus he's mother, from the beginning in a certain point of life ( god of war games ) whenever he needed kratos. but secretly knew athreus he's mother would protect them and guide them to a single truth,( fallen Giants ) but didn't know herself her guidance had a bigger role to play in the big plan of mimir, she did not forsee it because she didn't focus on such things like betrayal, she focused herself on showing the truth about who athreus is and what kratos had to do . I think Mimir is the cause of the Ragnarok ( or is ragnarok himself ) event and the war between the giants and the aesir, ( i think Mimirs plan was letting them destroy eachother ) and take the place of an all knowing god who has seen everything / met everything / knows everything . ( the ultimate god ), but to reach " ultimate god " he needs someone with no fear someone who knows how to kill gods ( Kratos ), it has always bin about Kratos . ( who wouldn't want to own Kratos on a leash ? ) other gods have tried ( why should mimir be different ? or Odin ? ) Kratos he's son is going to be the ultimate trigger when he dies, kratos would toss all humanity and calmity aside, to destroy the last kind of gods, when kratos thinks he has killed them all, Mimir would reveal himself and he's purpose about why he controlled events from the beginning. I think mimir even knows a way to inhabit the power of fallen gods and use that power as he's own...., like Kratos could in all the other god war games . But in order to do all that Mimir must tell Kratos about the possibility's in how to get into valhalla ( there are 3 ways ) Odin knew them all and tries to stop Kratos from entering valhalla . Mimir at this point is nothing more then a guide ( keep that mind ) Kratos does not question him for some reason at all ! nor he's intentions in why mimir is handing out specific information about things . mimir knows how to cheat death aswell ( mimir never died ) with this Kratos will get the promise that he's son could be revived by mimir's will ( if kratos does what mimir tells him to like a dog ) or ( kratos can make peace with the fact he's son is dead, and take out the evil that threatens the entire universe and timeline . To save himself he kratos must save everything . That moment Kratos needs to decide he has enough power to take down the " ultimate god " mimir or not after being lured into a power loss trap . At the very end i think Kratos learns in a way from Mimir ( by killing him for real ) how to cheat death and save he's son from it all in one go when saving everything ( Kratos would get a meet up with he's wife and dead children ) . that's the end of Kratos ( the god of war himself ) . Not to bring war anymore but balance to everything so life could start fresh all over without the hand of any god but by the decision that is made through all living organisms in all the realms so they could bend and shape the world how it always was .( Pure ) Mimir also has a weird golden Eye wich indicates he's eyes aren't just for show but have not yet bin revealed in the game . ( the key lays within 1 eye ) ( Maybe a key for ragnarok or transformation into ragnarok ? ) The Real reason behind the Death of the Giants is that they also might have a power that equals existence ( destruction or creation ) this power is something that could be used at the end . Mimir knows all this and wants the destruction of the giants so this power could never be used against him and wipe him out with all existence and start fresh without him. The Giants are the forthbringers of Realms but not the creation in all of them .

Maybe the Aesir aren’t trying to prevent Ragnarok, they’re trying definitely win again, because if Magni and Modi (or just Modi) “earns” it probably means that Thor will die

Imagine this game on PS5

It was a good theory. Didn't work out but it was good with the information available

Still kinda peeved that Faye's ashes didn't revive the Giants still a good game

When Atreus hears voices in alfheim could that be when the battle takes place? Also, when kratos says "let me know when it happens again." Atreus said he would let him know but after that he doesn't hear the voices again or he simply doesn't tell us.

Giants: exist Thor: im about to ruin this mans whole carreer

Hey, In years later the axs is hanging on the pillar and there is no blades on the back of kratos, what do you think about that?

When he says "I'll sleep through winter" it makes me think it literally happened

The thing is though that if time moves quicker in other realms, doesn't mean that time on another realm doesn't move at all. Time moves forward continuously in a meta timeline (ie the timeline you're playing with kratos). But what doesn't happen is that time goes backwards. So you could spend an hour in Midgard and it would be a month in another realm but the other way around you'd spend a month in the slower realm only an hour would have gone by in Midgard. That means though you can't go back in time and things yet to happen in Midgard are yet to happen in all other realms. Unless you actively go back in time

Ok...serpant has already seen ragnarok and he travelled back to time... Oh! That means kratos and atreus are that person from past who blew horn! When in game atreus got ill. That make sense.

Just gonna put this out there just in case...the good guys can sometimes be the bad guys,maybe tyr killed the giants(not sure how)and then locked the realm so noone could find them or something like that

If the Jotunheim Kratos and Atreus went to was from the previous timeline, then how is the mural of Kratos existent in this one? Kratos has only been to one timeline, not 2.

Physics correction: time goes slower in jötunheim than in midgard if someone in midgard could look into jötunheim they wouöd see people in slow motion cause inside 4 weeks they moved only 20 min. (Dont think this changes much about your theory but still good video!)

The time flows differently in each realm, so maybe thor came in a long past to kill every giants or maybe Surtur with his giants destroyed the life in Jotunheim. Or maybe this is the future of ragnarok. Anyway i think faye's ashes can revive the good giants. Sorry if i wrote something bad im not english

Totally makes sense! This a great theory

That is such a good theory and I honestly think you’re spot on. That modi scene saying he earned that hammer. This channel is so sick been watching all morning just tryna get answers for this game and whats to come. Great job!

Watching the last scene gets me hyped for the next god of war, Thor looks badass

I'm still so pumped for Thor. They've really set him up to be equal to Kratos in his power and ferocity.

I’m just waiting to see Kratos without the ashes again lol
