God of War: Ragnarok Discussion Thread

A mask that has only Japanese, Greek and Egyptian inscriptions on it that were scattered into 3 pieces that were found in Midgard, Niflheim, and Museplheim that is connected to a Green Rift that spawned after the death of Ymir which is near the beginning of the Norse World.

Tyr for some reason has a mural with only Japanese, Greek, Egyptian, Celtic, and Norse mythology symbols for war, and Tyr holds a Unity Stone. Other Murals depicting Tyr traveling to Japan, Greece, and Egypt too iirc.

I wonder what this means. Did Tyr attempt to stop Odin's madness by looking into the mask himself? Or did Tyr go to warn the other mythologies about Odin's pursuit for answers on the mask in order to prevent war? Or was Tyr himself curious about the mask's connections to other mythologies that he looked for answers to himself? Why does Tyr's temple mural only have the symbols for war on them? Are they meant to imply that unifying the God of Wars from those mythologies are important? If the mask was carved by a single person, who were they?

Could Odin have possibly visited Greece, Japan, Ireland, and Egypt and as Tyr at one point? Why does the real Tyr only vaguely recognize Kratos by name and nothing else? He visited Greece after Kratos' destroyed it and has a vase depicting Kratos and Greece being repaired. Does Kratos being a God of War and his dramatic change not shock Tyr?
 
I love how they pulled a narrative answer when the actual reason is "we didn't wanted his fat body in the fighting arena"
 
Does Kratos having the Blades of Chaos amp his stats? For example was the Kratos in the first fight against Thor weaker than the one in the second fight with Thor (Ignoring the different levels of restraint)?

It's a two way street, Blades amp him and he amps them back in return. However, it should be noted that the strength he unleashed against Thor that knocked his teeth out is still magnitudes higher than the amount of strength he used to defeat Thor in the final rematch for obvious reasons that I don't think have to be explained.

So far, only the Blades of Chaos and Blades of Athena have them, but this amping aspect is significantly less prevalent in Ghost of Sparta, GOW2 and GOW3 where it is Kratos instead earning the amps.
 
Thinking on it more, I'm honestly wishing we got Thor's hammer. I understand and like the narrative reasons we didn't and even the gameplay reasons but gods dammit it's super cool and the idea of Kratos having four weapons corresponding to fire, ice, wind and lightning is just too awesome. Gives me GoW III vibes when Kratos was at the top of his game.
 
They definitely could've made it work. They could've given it slow attacks lights and heavies that deal more damage than the leviathan axe's light and heavy attacks (gameplay-only thing of course) but causes knockback and builds up the shock status effect. Then it could synergize with the Leviathan axe if you inflict successfully imbue the shock status effect on an enemy and attack them with the Leviathan Axe or vice versa creating a mini frozen lightning bolt to freeze the enemy and deal massive shock damage as lightning bolts strike them for the duration of the status effect and for stronger enemies it does the same but only slightly slows instead of freezing them. You should also be able to do the lightning traps too of course
 
"Fire Manipulation, Holy Light Projection and Durability Negation (With the Light of Dawn, which ignores the durability of demons or demonic creatures)" not a expert but shouldn't it be limited dura neg if it only neg demons or demonic creatures dura?
 
As funny as this is, North America Mythology while obscure, are actually amazing
Yeah, not in ultimate grand sheme as South America Myths but you get what i said lel

Yeah it’s a shame they don’t get as much attention as other mythologies.

although unlike other mythologies American mythology is like multiple different ones instead of one whole group since there are many different Native American tribes and each one has it’s own mythology.
 
Yeah thats what make it harder to be adapted fully in the media

even if it were adapted considering what American media does, they’ll distort or change a lot of it so yeah there’s that.

Also this is a little nitpicking but we should call the American mythologies by the name of the their tribe instead of just saying American mythology.
 
How is Norse Kratos even Tier 2? He no longer has the power of hope, the Titan powers, or the blade of Olympus. Realistically he should be back to tier 7. Maybe he was at one point and his AD caught him up or some shit, but even then that wouldn't make sense.
 
@KLOL506 will going to send Majima to assassinate your poor a** by claiming that lel

Chu means they said mountain busting was too much for them to implement. They wanted it to happen but didn't have time to make it and the development for Ragnarok pretty much had the same reasoning.
