Norse Kratos lost his abilities from his Greek self
LWe knew this the day Kratos stabbed himself in GOW3 in the final leg to stop Athena from having Hope.
Well we knew he lost his powers but we didn't know he can't use Greek powers besides a few exceptions being the blades and spartan's rage.We knew this the day Kratos stabbed himself in GOW3 in the final leg to stop Athena from having Hope.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of depictions with polearms and the Khopesh. The mace idea still sounds pretty cool.Weapons don't have as much of a special purpose to the egyptians like with other myths. This is why you almost never see any depiction of egyptian myths with any kind of special weapon like the norse and mjolnir, or the greeks and Zeus' lightning.
They could showcase some polearms/staff like some of the egyptian gods are depicted carrying (depending on the design of the staff, it changes its meaning; Set, for example, it represents his power over the weathe), a khopesh maybe as a symbol of the "royal guard" and that of Horus' will. They could maybe have the flail.
Yeah I believe the Chimera is also in Egyptian Mythology. There's a siren in more modern Egyptian urban legend that's quite like those in Greek mythology, could be cool.Ah, this can be quite fun. Many of the egyptian monsters are shared with the greeks, so we can expect to see some familiar things. But as it is showcased in the 2018 comic, the egyptians contended mostly with animals moreso than supernatural creatures.
Yeah, but knowing god of war, we'll likely end up fighting some. What if someone could corrupt them like the Valkyries and hel walkers?Also, mummies should not be enemies. At all. Mummification was a rite of purity. It was meant as an honor, an aid for the three aspects of the egyptian soul (ka, ba and name)
This I'm most excited for. The Norse Gods, aside from Odin and a few others were lacking in Hax. And even Kratos didn't really have much Hax this time around. When he goes to Egypt I'd like to see the return of magic and the replacement of Talisman/ Relics.That's the best part. Egyptian myths are filled to the brim of hax shit, is insane. Just look at Ra, who passively maintains: Passage of time, life through his light, the seasons, space itself, souls themselves when traveling Duat at night, Law and Chaos, and potentially the void
Then you have an abundance of soulhax: Splitting, absorption, fate (Osiris' trial), transmutation (souls are turned into stars), straight destruction and EE
While also having copious amounts of conceptual manipulation through names
Thing is, Kratos is insane in Fallen God. Nothing in that story makes sense in any perspective whatsoever.Something I've always wondered about Fallen god, is why is Athena back in her Physical form? Is she an illusion? Does she have the ability to revert back?
I did. The moment I finished GOW3 I knew why he also lost every other power up he had gained over the years in Greece.Well we knew he lost his powers but we didn't know he can't use Greek powers besides a few exceptions being the blades and spartan's rage.
True. How did he even get to Egypt in the first place if the pantheons rule different universes? Maybe he was brought there?Thing is, Kratos is insane in Fallen God. Nothing in that story makes sense in any perspective whatsoever.
Everyone knew that, but no one knew it was because greek magic couldn't be used in another mythology.I did. The moment I finished GOW3 I knew why he also lost every other power up he had gained over the years in Greece.
He wouldn't have made an attempt to use greek magic in the norse realms if he was talking about the powers he released because he knows he didn't have them anymore but he said he tried to use greek magic and it didn't work so the meaning is clear.I don't think that's the case, if it was he be able to use the blades. He left out the fact that he released his powers and left the blade of Olympus that had them behind.
...They're special so they function. Probably because Primordial stuff.
In goW1 novel it is mentioned to essense of the Primordial Chaos, the void before creation.Wait so the flames in the blades of chaos aren't greek magical in nature?
Yeah but ain't Chaos... or at least chaos from the OG games... specifically greek in nature?In goW1 novel it is mentioned to essense of the Primordial Chaos, the void before creation.
Hence name Blades of Chaos...
Make of that what you will.
There isn't a definitive answer to why the blades work. Primordial stuff was just a guest. For all we know the reason could be because Athena cast a higher dimensional curse on the blades....
Wait
So is the "primordial" portion of the blades of chaos, multicultural in nature?
Because when Surtr said that they have primordial flames and Kratos was like "these aren't of these lands", he said "doesn't matter".
Is the "primordial" portion something that's independent of culture? Is there just a bigass void that the OGs (Chaos, Ginnungagap, etc.) come from that has flames in there?
Cause ain't no way "greek magic" doesn't work but "primordial flames" from greek mythology do
That's not what was said.Everyone knew that, but no one knew it was because greek magic couldn't be used in another mythology.
Infinitely bigger than low 2C just 2A, and bigger than 2A is low 1CThat's the problem. To be "infinitely bigger" than those timelines, you need statements of infinite existential superiority, but that would lead straight to Low 1-C and thus we are brought full circle to Freya's statement, at which point we are forced back to the Mask and the Green Rift of supposedly infinite knowledge.
It'd give Low 1-C instead if you could prove existential superiority, but again, read above about the Mask and the Green Rift.
Tbh every culture has similar kinds of Chaos/Void. Although I doubt they are singular.Yeah but ain't Chaos... or at least chaos from the OG games... specifically greek in nature?
Or is the single chaos spread throughout multiple cultures?
What other powers did he have outside of the ones in the blade, and his equipment which were destroyed by Zeus? Probably just something whoever wrote that dialogue forgot.He wouldn't have made an attempt to use greek magic in the norse realms if he was talking about the powers he released because he knows he didn't have them anymore but he said he tried to use greek magic and it didn't work so the meaning is clear.

For example..
I remember Chaos being called Great Grandfather to Zeus somewhere, but can't seem to recall.
Way I view it is since Freya says magic is bound to the earth it could be assumed that the primordial flames from Chaos are unaffected by the greek world being destroyed, Chaos does predate the earth and as such the magic from it probably shouldn't be bound to it and wouldn't disappear like the rest of the magic in the greek world die.Yeah but ain't Chaos... or at least chaos from the OG games... specifically greek in nature?

Reminds me of thisGreat Grandfather because he birthed Ouranos yes, but Egyptian mythology has a Chaos too which birthed Ra. Would this make those Chaos' the same since "primordial flames" apparently just don't give a damn about region?
This is giving me a larger cosmology above the 9 realms and such, one big multiverse holding a bunch of verses' multiverses inside of it, and that big multiverse is a bigass creature with many names, Chaos, Ginnungagap, etc.
Cause ain't no way that the Greek flames still fulfill Norse flame prophecies
Ra birthed himself by giving himself a name.Great Grandfather because he birthed Ouranos yes, but Egyptian mythology has a Chaos too which birthed Ra.
Depends from the source then, so L on thatRa birthed himself by giving himself a name.
Can you show me what source says that?Depends from the source then, so L on that
Eh... no.Infinitely bigger than low 2C just 2A, and bigger than 2A is low 1C
source = my bad memory, don't count on itCan you show me what source says that?
Because in my own studies, I have never seen chaos birthing the creator god of the egyptian. Instead, what is always repeated, is the allegory of the entity giving a name to itself from inside chaos, which is what prompts existence into being when the newly born god (the sun god, not always Ra) starts shaping things from itself, giving name to everything.
Ah, alright lolsource = my bad memory, don't count on it
i recall ra forming himself as well, so throw that away
Nothing, then turned into somethingWell then what was Ra before he was named Ra?? Like what was their composition?
We aren't supposed to know.Well then what was Ra before he was named Ra?? Like what was their composition?
Is not some sources. That's how the myth went in the Old Kingdom.Nothing, then turned into something
Basically, didn't exist, then existed
Some sources also say Ptah created Ra instead of the self creation belief
Doubt it. Chaos is a female Primordial as shown in GOW Ascension, mother of the Primordials Ouranos and Gaia (Brother/Sister/Parents to the Titans), Tartarus, Ourea, Ceto, Nyx and Erebus.Great Grandfather because he birthed Ouranos yes, but Egyptian mythology has a Chaos too which birthed Ra.

Aye. I always championed the idea of a big-ass multiverse referred to as the World, holding a bunch of other multiverses inside it. I believe that's what the devs meant by "geographical divides"This is giving me a larger cosmology above the 9 realms and such, one big multiverse holding a bunch of verses' multiverses inside of it, and that big multiverse is a bigass creature with many names, Chaos, Ginnungagap, etc.
Greek flames are just built different. Greece is just built different.Cause ain't no way that the Greek flames still fulfill Norse flame prophecies
Well i just says being infinitely bigger. I know being infinitely bigger and have qualitative supperior can make it low 1C, but just being infinitely bigger alone is just make them 2A by defaultEh... no.
Being infinitely bigger than Low 2-C or space and time themselves and viewing them as insignificant to your existence in the long run is 100% Low 1-C, as long as implications of existential superiority exist. You don't need to see a 2-A verse as infinitely small to qualify for Low 1-C, and like Planck said, viewing them as infinitely small alone won't give you any higher Tier whatsoever. It needs to have implications of existential superiority first and foremost.
2 Chaos'. One for Life and one for Void iirc.Doubt it. Chaos is a female Primordial as shown in GOW Ascension, mother of the Primordials Ouranos and Gaia (Brother/Sister/Parents to the Titans), Tartarus, Ourea, Ceto, Nyx and Erebus.
