I thought it was Kratos

I thought it was Kratos

I did too but that is actually never stated or even implied in Ragnarok

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Bruh.

There seems quite a few things in 2018, that they just forget about. That's one thing I hate about sequels

They clearly wanted more Norse games when making 2018 but decided to take a different path for Ragnarok.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Yeah you can kinda tell it was meant to be more games

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

I hope they continue the Norse setting with comics until the next game in Egypt or wherever they go

The 9 realms individually have infinite possibilities. Anything you imagine is present in the realms as an alternate timeline.

VISIONS AFTER REST (one of Kvasir's poem in GoW : R):-

Visions after rest
Lay in wait for explorers
Crafted by the imps
And filled with magic, joy or horror.
Among these fanciful realms,
Lie endless creation
And possibilities where the limit
Is one's own imagination.

Now I know this is a reference to Dreams, a PlayStation exclusive game (just like all of Kvasir's poem). But we can't ignore the fact that it's indeed talking about the realms of the Norse World (hence the statement "these fancy realms", and not "those fancy realms). I think that this is usable.

 

[CrisisCrysis]

aight, i was just wondering if it is viable

It's viable and valid, but it can't be used here due to this site's rules/standards.

 

[Planck69]

We cannot use references to other works for scaling, even if they're deliberately ambiguous to avoid outright 4th Wall Breaks. And the fact that you're pedantic about the syntax aside, "these realms" is most likely used due to the poem being written from the perspective of being within the game setting being referenced.

Aight, thanks. Such a shame though.

Yea. Kratos straight up tells Ratatoskr he traveled from Greece to Midgard. Someone posted the link to it earlier today. Ratatoskr asked if Greece had a world tree and Kratos said no. Ratatoskr was so amazed and said no wonder he was able to travel to another realm which makes it seem like the Norse mythology has a special restriction when it comes to traveling to other mythologies.

Correction: Ratatoskr was wondering how Kratos traveled from realm to realm in the Greek world and he said "by foot or by sea" in relation to going to different realms in the Greek World. But Kratos does repeatedly imply he simply traveled from Greece to Midgard by boat and foot in Ragnarok.

dimensional travel by boat and foot

 

[Lilixa]

Wait, I got that interaction.

So the Novel is retconned?

i don't think cory like that lol. The novel created by him and his father.

 

[Lilixa]

one thing i like about cory barlog is, he is pretty much a novelist /writer by nature.

 

[Deceived3596]

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Well, Kratos is Greek.

 

[Gasper]

God of war ragnarok got 10 nominations including game of the year nomination.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Yeah I saw

 

[KLOL506]

Soooo Is it mentioned how Kratos got to Midgard? I know how cuz of the Novel. But is it mentioned in game? Do we know who the hooded woman commanding the wolves is?

Wolves are 100% Skoll and Hati.

Nope, can't be used, just a reference to another PS exclusive game. Horizon is also an easter egg.

 

[KLOL506]

True
Wouldn’t mind getting some of the older sets back tho, or some kind of armour reflecting the Berserkers

God Armor from GOW2 when

Aegis of Zeus from GOW3 when

Golden Fleece when

Salon for Kratos and Mimir's beard, Atreus's hair and Freya's hair when

I’d suggest an at most rating tbh

He’s able to hurt characters like Odin but is also consistently shown as sub Kratos, his bear is just outright 2-C tho

Yeah, I agree with an At Most rating for Atreus in Base, flat-out 2-C in Bear Mode.

Pretty sure Ratatoskr was talking about travel to the other realms within the Greek Pantheon, not the Pantheon-to-Pantheon travel system. The devs have made separations between "geographical divides" (Pantheon borders) and "realms" countless times. I think Ratatoskr is more so shocked that the Greek Pantheon doesn't have a travel system like Yggdrasil which has Bifrost and shit to make realm travel easier (Whereas Greek Pantheon's own custom countries are traversible by land or sea, but actual realm-to-realm travel requires BFR or Portals, like Domain of Death, Nyx's Dimension and Underworld). For the Norse travel part we don't know how the hooded figure and the Wolves did it. Maybe via the Unity Stone if they allied with Tyr which really seems like the only possible explanation.

Funnily enough, Kratos falls downwards into the Domain of Death to get back to Mortal Greece but the Mortal World is stacked upwards of it (Domain of Death is nestled between the Underworld and Mortal World), further evidence for some weird wacky BFR shenanigan going on. And once you fall into the Underworld, you're not coming back unless you got Hades' powers or Hyperion Gates. Or Zeus bails your ass out. Or you use those holes for the Chain of Balance that goes through the fabric of space. Or if you use that weird hole near the Island of Creation which most likely operates on the same basis because it's near a wacky island.

 

[Gasper]

What is valhalla in god of war?

 

[Lilixa]

what ability is this ? absorption ? or sealing ?

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

God Armor from GOW2 when

The closest thing we got was Tyr's armor, and even then it still wasn't as raw.

Aegis of Zeus from GOW3 when

This too. I wish they could bring back armluts.

Golden Fleece when

The Dwarves could have easily repaired it. I wish they'd bring it back. Or something like it.

Salon for Kratos and Mimir's beard, Atreus's hair and Freya's hair when

Natural hair Growth system like RDR2

Ah

 

[Deceived3596]

Definitely absorption, could be sealing depending on the context behind the thing Kratos's using to absorb said creature, such as an implication that things which are absorbed by it are housed inside it, are locked away etc. Basically anything which would imply somesort of sealing happening.

So is that monster that chewing the branches of Yggdrasil ?

 

[Lilixa]

oh yeah definitely sealing.

 

[Lilixa]

more information at the beginning.

 

[Deceived3596]

So is that monster that chewing the branches of Yggdrasil ?

Idk, haven't played the game before so i'm basically unknowledgeable about anything lore-wise, i can give my opinion about things like abilities with enough evidence provided but actual lore, i'm completely in the dark on that.

 

[Lilixa]

kinda funny that deer just walking to the voids

 

[Lilixa]

So sealing for Norse kratos ? Greek kratos does not have sealing ability which is perfect opportunity to give kratos new ability.

 

[Lilixa]

 

[Planck69]

Honestly, if not for it being a mismatch, I'd make Demigod Kratos vs Malenia.

 

[Sniper670]

When will Kratos be 2A?

I'm itching for a DoomGuy match

 

[Planck69]

When will Kratos be 2A?

Nah, 2-C.

 

[Gasper]

Nah, 2-C.

He should be "2-C, likely higher"

bump.

also aren't those monsters able to bypass odin's nine realms seals ?? So the fact that tool able to seals those monsters, it's impressive feat.

 

[KLOL506]

Realm tears. Shit that shouldn't exist but do because Kratos and Atreus have a reputation of bringing death and chaos wherever they go.

 

[WanderingGecko]

So i was wondering something, do the Furies have any better feats other than the pocket realm creating one?

 

[KLOL506]

Nah. The next closest feat they got is Alecto in her Kraken form violently pulling down the Bell of Apollo that shakes the surrounding area. Tier 8 at best, that. Though it was utterly casual.
