Kratos question

[Hypertornado099]

I've never played a GOW game but I saw these while looking at the profile for the Neron vs Kratos thread.

Resistance to Energy Absorption (Can resist the Siren's song, which can drain his magic)

Why does he have resistance to something because he was affected by their energy drain?

Status Effect Inducement (Able to resist and block out Helios' light, which can stun its foes[82])

Is Helios' stun something like this? (making enemies unable to move an inch) or just "staggered"

Instinctive Action (Instinctively shot an arrow at an undead Leigonnaire.[14] Instinctively reacted to a harpy attack[28])

The first scan looks like a decent feat, but is there more context for the second one? I am asking because performing an action instinctively in response to seeing danger is something normal humans can do, but the Instinctive Action page describes it as a "power", implying you'd need to have instinctive actions on a superhuman level to have this ability.

And what does Greek and Norse Mythology mean? Does he get isekaid into a different universe with a different pantheon during the games, and are they the same person?

I'll let more knowledgeable supporters answer the questions about the P&A, but for this:

And what does Greek and Norse Mythology mean? Does he get isekaid into a different universe with a different pantheon during the games, and are they the same person?

They are the same person, but Kratos lost many of his supernatural magical powers and abilities from the Greek realms while gaining new ones during his time in the Norse realms

"staggered"

works like a flash bang, a large amount of candelas entering your body can cause severe stun.

The first scan is used to show instinctive combat, other is used to show dodging feats. There are multiple examples littered through the materials but they are spread all over the self, we thought 2-3 scans of different types will be enough. Obviously, a single scan in a vacuum wouldn't alone work.

Was gonna answer this question but Gilver and Marvel_FUTURE got to it first.

Yeah, they pretty much stated what I was going to say.

@Planck69 @Theglassman12 Y'all got anything else to add?

 

[Theglassman12]

Nope, Gilver covered it.

Ok, thanks for answering. I'm assuming you said its a game mechanic because Kratos in a cutscene/novel resisted the siren's song?

 

[Theglassman12]

Yeah there’s actual statements where Kratos breaks out of the song’s spell several times.

Ok, this thread can be closed then
