Freya was the one who told Kratos and Mimir that they lose their abilities due to the different nature of the dimensions. So I strongly doubt she'd be accounting for that, and she doesn't even know about Poseidon, his Hippocampi and the Norns.

No because
1. We don't know if that applies to Hax outside of the nine realms
2. The Olympians have ways around Baldur's curse like rendering him human

I thought it was cuz of what happened to the greek lands
Also oh yeah we also don't know how much freya knows about greek gods if she does like odin and Thor (odin likely don't know everything about Them too tho and Thor definitelly doesn't)

Quite a few Norse Gods were parallels to Kratos at various stages of his life. Baldur mirrored during his quest of vengeance against Ares for taking a core part of his life away, Thor mirrored a mix of Kratos as he served Ares and afterwards when he served the gods and committed atrocities in their names. Freya mirrored his grief after losing his child and the rage that resulted from that as well as his betrayal by Zeus, stripping of his powers and godhood, and destruction of his homeland.
Wonder if another pantheon will give us a mirror character that's like the one we have right prior to his battle with Zeus. A god whose power and destructive capacity has surpassed all in his world but has no sense of empathy left for anyone at all.
I can't quite think of anyone like that for other pantheons (closest I can get is Sun Wukong and he wasn't an outright emotionless destroyer so he doesn't fit either) but then again, they could just buff an existing god or monster. Would be cool to see a threat that forces Kratos to amass power for the first time since Zeus. Only this time to protect rather than destroy.

Checked
Apparently gow 3 is at least 150 years before gow 4 going by wiki
Baldur was born a 145 years before gow 4
If is true then baldur was cursed when every greek god besides athena and Kratos were death

I think Thor being bassically Kratos if he was never brave enough to get revenge on his father (well after Kratos talk no jutsu as well he did but still) is more fitting imo

I mean, regardless of this, we have no reason to assume that Freya's curse is so powerful it applies to all of Creation. Especially with the magic itself being tied to the land its native to and dependent on said land.

I mean realistically besides the hax that neg curses and ig hades soul Absortion Likely not many hax would be able to kill him anyways at least from what i remember
- 4,158
- 2,911
Now that i think about it
Baldur is also Pretty much greek kratos who never got to get his revenge
- 3,771

Freya stating that magic is tied to the land is pretty weird. If that's the case, how exactly do the Blades of Chaos still work?
- 4,158

The rule prolly doesn't apply to curses (cuz iirc in the comics even though he isn't in greek it's stated he is cursed to be immortal)

They better not pull a GoW3, after all Ragnarok is only the 2nd game of the Norse mythos.

What happened With gow 3 again?

Didn't have a new game+ while the other games before it did.

It has a pseudo new game mode...
It allows usage of goldy possession but no weapons and items. I guess because it might break level design acc to Devs ..... strange.
Although there was a bug on PS3 version which allowed proper new game mode via some shenanigans which confuses Arena menu.

Greek Mythology actually exist in Lovecraft

Having the Nemean Cestus from the start would lead to very weird progression. Since like, you could break the Chain of Olympus pre-Hades fight or smth.
Oh yeah, it does. Mostly to show how powerful the Outer Gods were like in the story Hypnos. Funny that he might be the most powerful Greek God on site (well, unless WoD proves me wrong or smth).

Yggdrasil is fodder, Nidhogg can chew through its roots, Thor put a big-ass splinter into the tree (Kratos beat the former two), Surtr took out a branch in a suicide attack with his sword, Zeus would collectively turn the tree into kindling for a Norse pyre.
- 3,097
- 1,168
so that would imply Zeus able to affect NEP 1
- 32,835
- 38,108
Ironically speaking that'd mean Thor and Surtr can affect NEP 1 too, weirdly enough. Nidhogg and Garm too.

Honestly tho, this IMHO is more so referring to how the artists brought a concept like Yggdrasil to the Video-Game landscape physically.
- 3,097

that is outdated justification, in ragnarok we have "formless voids" statements for ginnungagap
- 18,597
- 18,661
And Ginnungagap isn't the Yggdrasil.

Definitely the cod of war set, well that's the point. The sets that had those big ass wrist pieces made Kratos look like an idiot

How did kratos still have blades of chaos. I thought every single Greek weapon he had were destroyed during battle with Zeus?
also is Greece still a hell hole?
Another thing I heard the blacksmiths saying they can’t seem to understand Greek weaponry when they are improving your blade of chaos. If they can’t understand it how are they able to improve it.

Blades of Exile and Boots of Hermes survived. Blades of Chaos weren't on him at the time. Ares took them away in GOW1, so Athena gave Kratos replacement Blades, the Blades of Athena, which inevitably falls into the Styx and gets corroded to shit, only for higher-dimensional Athena to come back and reforge the blades as the Blades of Exile.
No, it recovered after Kratos's rampage as seen on the vase that Kratos intentionally drops in 2018.
It's not that they don't understand how to improve it, it's just that Brok was jealous of the craftsmanship of the Blades being on another level compared to the Mjolnir and the Leviathan Axe that he and Sindri made together, he constantly pesters Kratos to tell him who made the Blades (An answer he unfortunately never got).

so the Greeks are living happier right now because no gods.
though I am curious, if kratos never fought Artemis nor Morpheus do we assume they survived what happened after Zeus’s death?
- 32,835
- 38,108
Not exactly, they're living happier because Kratos sacrificed himself to give the Power of Hope to mankind.
Nobody knows what happened to them TBF.
- 25,632
- 15,951
well I’m glad kratos gave them hope.
So after reading it a bit more about how Norse and Greek are separate universes.
does that mean basically each countries mythologies would be separate universes if we do it this way and considering how many mythologies exist there would be a lot of universes
- 32,835
- 38,108
Yes.
The mythologies are essentially their own separate multiverses in an even greater collective universe.
This also includes Abrahamic religions (Like Christianity and Islam) and other Indian religions like Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism.
