I'm sure there is more nuance to that statement than physical power. Especially when it involves two entire pantheons. If Mimir is truly suggesting they are all equal in power even after Mimir knows Kratos killed Zeus and who the Ghost of Sparda is and likely what Kratos had done to still say that he doesn't know if Kratos could defeat Thor in the lore and legends book.
Indeed
He says Fallen God Kratos specifically when he says Kratos is weaker, not 2018 Kratos. 2018 Kratos is literally at least 100 years after Fallen God
Mimir has no idea what a monster Kratos can truly be, he doesn't even know that Kratos killed the Sisters of Fate given his statement of "Kratos can't fight Fate", despite literally having lolnoped every single attempt by the Sisters to kill him.
150.
But that's irrelevant to Mimir knowing Kratos killing Zeus and his massacre on his own Pantheon yet still being unsure if Kratos can kill Thor. If we are to believe all pantheons are truly equal in pure power then Mimir would effectively be saying Thor is above Zeus' level.
Except, Mimir doesn't know about any of the power-ups Kratos had in play when doing the deed.
He's certainly wayy more versatile, but Kratos resists everything he has, whereas Zeus hasn't shown to resist Timeslow or stat reduction.
Doesn't Kratos resist Zeus Powernull by gow3?
..........
Really? When has he shown this?
That waaay beyond tier 3. Isn't that at the absolute worst 2-A and absolute best Low 1-C?
He doesn't need to know, we can gather from the information that Norse Kratos while severely holding back is at least stronger than prime Zeus w/o Power of Fear in Mimir's eyes
Zeus resisted the BoO's Power Absorption/Drain and Power Null abilities and came back even stronger as seen where he casually one-shots Gaia and tears her arm off and sends Kratos flying in the distance, his AD should counter this quite easily.
No, normal Spartan Rage won't cut it, he'll need Rage of the Titans or the BoO Rage of Sparta.
Not without the Power of Hope, no.
GOW2 Novel Chapter 11
Both 2-A and Low 1-C are currently under contention. Ultima said he planned on downgrading it to 2-C.
Except this doesn't work out because Kratos was only ever equal to Zeus with all the Titan Power Ups, Hades' soul, and Boots of Hermes if we're discounting the Power of Hope. Even with the BoO he had to play possum simply because of how powerful Zeus was.
That's missing the point. Just like Mimir shouldn't know anything about Fear and Hope power-ups, he wouldn't know about all the power and abilities, and weapons Kratos acquired in GOW3 used to defeat Zeus. If you argue he did then he would surely be aware of Fear and Hope power-ups as well in his estimation of Zeus' power.
Is resisting powernull and absorption applicable to stat reduction?
Does this have novel statements? Like does he specifically need the rage of the titans? Or will anything equal or stronger than it do?
So he only resist Zeus power null with power of hope? even tho Kratos gained another layer of power null resistance without tapping into the poh and Zeus never had sucess removing his powers in GOW3. He no longer has the soul of hades? I think Bruno said he doesn't in a tweet, but I could be wrong.
So absolute minimum is 2-C.
Not sure, but Zeus's AD should be able to counter it no problem.
Technically speaking as per the novel Zeus laughed it all off and stated that Kratos's usage of the Titan Powers was still not enough to defeat him. And he was right, Kratos still had to play possum.
The fact that he nulled himself by channeling Hope through the BoO to sacrifice himself and not let Athena win.
Nope, canonically speaking he can't use them anymore, Bruno also states that Kratos lost Hades' soul forever when Zeus smacked him in the face and shattered all his gear, he needed the Claws of Hades to control the power of Hades' soul and all the other souls he had control over.
Yes.
He never did. Zeus nulled Kratos via physical contact.
Because Zeus was pretty much obsessed with killing Kratos with his own bare hands himself due to Fear itself. Zeus be that arrogant sometimes.
He did indeed (Tweets here and here). He needed the Claws to control Hades' soul and several other souls of various deceased Warriors. All that went down the drain when Fear Zeus smacked him.
That automatically debunks that Mimir knows what Kratos's true potential once was.
My point is that Mimir not knowing about them is exactly what proves to me that he is making assumptions about the Kratos he has seen in action, not the Kratos that was an absolute powerhouse at his peak in GOW3.
Not really since the point was using the pantheons being equal in power as the basis for that argument.
That's part of my point. That means him suggesting pantheons are equal in power is an assumption since he doesn't know about all of the power other pantheons can bring out yet. We can't say Mimir belief's belief that all pantheons are equal in power is true yet say he is unaware of Geek myth having trump cards such as Hope and Fear or question if Kratos could beat Thor after knowing what Kratos has done. If the statement about all pantheons are equal in power is used as the reasoning for Greek scaling to Norse, we can't ignore Mimir questioning whether Kratos could beat Thor. Both can be true but the statement about all pantheons being equal has to not be because of power but rather each pantheon has its own strengths and weaknesses that equals each other out in terms of "power". It's possible that Greek's way of being equal to Norse isn't through attack potency but through hax, speed, or something else.
Does Norse Kratos still have AD?
So it wouldn't be in character for Zeus to nullify Kratos' powers
Probably a mix between be very rusty due of him try to live a quite life and having lost his most powerful greek weapons/magic due of Astral Zeus.
Yes he does. It's what allowed him to clap back at Baldur.
Nope, it very much would be in character since that's literally the first thing he does when putting Kratos's powers into the Colossus.
And then he never did it again. Well, in base at least.
Likely. I believe it's a key ability of his in actual Norse mythology
That and the realms cannot be travelled in-between physically unless you have the Bifrost energy to open gateways between the realms (Like the Valkyries who still traverse the void distance between the Realms) and you can't enter the Realm Between the Realms without Mystic Gates or Bifrost Energy (Which again, the Valkyries have), and you can't travel the distance in the void without Bifrost Energy (Valkyries yet again) or the Unity Stone (Which is even faster because it's effectively a shortcut to other realms and pantheons). That and destroying one realm and its fabric of reality (Fabric of reality here meaning its entire space and time) does not affect the well-being of the other realms (Like how the Niflheim Realm tears only threaten to destroy Niflheim and can't destroy other realms, they need their own Realm Tears to be pulled off), which further proves the realms to be separate space-time continuums, as if the realms being reflections of each other sharing the same physical space (That being Yggdrasil's branches that stretch to infinity) yet being completely separate alternate planes of existence wasn't proof enough.
Aye, definitely crazy.
They have higher AP feats but is it me or do they feel more....grounded? Like, Baldur vs Kratos aside, they aren't as spectacle based or large scale as the Greek Gods to me, though that's not really a bad thing.
And in terms of gameplay it can work like a mix between Icarus Wings and Boots of Hermes, allowing Kratos to jump further and move him quicker in combat.
someone already made mod of it
Yeah, I don't really care whether we get Mjolnir or not
