I'm curious if they'll do anything with Athena. She seemed to be a bit more than just a hallucination when Kratos was recovering the Blades and she's pretty much the only dangling plot thread from the original trilogy. They're sticking to the framework of the Ragnarok myth for now but adding her could be way of tossing the wrench into the gears of an otherwise predictable story.

I'm kinda hoping Kratos dies in the last bit of 3. Loki is great but I just don't feel him becoming the series protagonist. Regardless, I have never wanted something more in a game than to see Fenrir and Loki fighting Odin and Heimdall. Kratos is pretty optional once we're in the last half of part 3. e: Mimir even says the prophecy is all out of wack now, so they could cheese it however they want, but drat do I want to see Loki riding a wolf the size of the sun.

Well one of the gods destined to survived Ragnarok is dead, maybe two. (Modi got stabbed in the neck and fell into a pit, but gods can take a lot of punishment, so I am not certain of his death.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Kratos continues to do his kill everything in the way schtick, further throwing it out. If he kills Thor in the second game that's a pretty big tilt on top of Modi and Magni presumably both being dead. I fully expect Ragnarok to mirror Kratos ending the Greek pantheon, but rather than just diong it out of pure rage, doing it out of manipulation or just because it needs to get done. He also refuses to respect prophecy, so if someone says "the dog will end the world" you better believe Kratos' solution is going to be to kill the dog first.

If you want to have Ragnarok without Ragnarok, really all that Kratos has to change is the bit about Surtr. Finrir and Odin can kill each other, Loki and Heimdall can kill each other, Thor and Jormungandr can kill each other, etc. Ending the gods but keeping humans alive, in a world free from Gods, which he did with the Greek pantheon, would only require him stopping Surtr from delivering that last second killing stroke on Midgard.

I'm certain the Kratos solution or path is going to run afoul of all these characters and require him to bust em one by one. Like his mission was so seekingly inoccuous, but his wife has hoodwinked him into becoming a player. Kratos fixes wagons for a job, he's going to wreck some people and I wouldn't be surprised if he did just say "Fenrir kills all, therefore I kill Fenrir" or "Odin seems to be the problem more widely, but Thor just shot my house with lightning so he is first".

I kinda put it out of my mind until I was going over what happened but uh, what's the deal with the dark elf king guy who was all "You have made a grave mistake" I didn't really "get" the bifrost visions and that quote amounted to a bitter "nuh uh you didn't win" as far as I can tell.

Black August posted:I think the grave mistake was likely accidentally aiding Odin Yeah. I'm fairly sure that light and dark elves aren't good or evil specifically in myth (like they both might harm a human for no discernible reason). I guess in the fucky God of War mythology the dark elves might have realised what was up and moved in to poo poo on the light elves for a good reason until Kratos randomly wandered in like a pissed toddler. There's also a chance the dark elf was full of poo poo and all you did was stop them from eating all light in the universe like a bunch of fuckheads. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I kinda put it out of my mind until I was going over what happened but uh, what's the deal with the dark elf king guy who was all "You have made a grave mistake" My immediate reaction was that he was basically an old man shaking his fist yelling "you'll live to regret this!"

When you take Mimir back with you to alfheim he'll clue you into the nuance, which is "this is literally the 230th time alfheim's flipped hands between light and dark". So it's probably just there as a character building moment of doubt for BOY

So I rented the game and took it back after I beat it. Going to buy it in the next few days, but I have a question. Can you replay the Muspelheim trials? Or more specifically, are there reliable, easy-to-reach places in the post game where you can keep killing things forever?

What it says on the screen is what you have for that current run and isn't your actual inventoried mist echoes. Once you've ran back out, the mist echoes you found is added to your inventory and the counter for the next time you run back into the mists is reset to 0.

Could be. This is all pure speculation but they could be going for sort of theme for Loki children - serpent is a giant serpent, Hel is an enormous bird and Fenrir will be a giant wolf.

In the myths, Hela is described as a young girl who is healthy and living on one side of her body and dead and rotten on the other. I don't recall any giant birds in Norse myth other than the eagle that hangs out on the branches of Yggdrasil.

Norse mythology references roosters in Valhalla, Jotunheim, and Helheim crowing to signal the beginning of ragnarok. My assumption is the bird is that, plus some poetic license on the side. It didn't seem to give enough of a poo poo about anything at all to be Hel herself, imo.

The birb could just be backdrop for all we know, to liven up Helheim a little but its too early to signal anything because Baldr wasn't dead yet.

Maybe the giant bird doesn’t react to the dynamic duo loving up the place because it recognizes one of them as its father from the past. Doesn’t time move weirdly there? Or, you know, Helheim is probably a natural realm of chaos that is always crumbling and re-forming randomly, and Kratos & BOY aren’t really doing anything that wouldn’t have happened to the place on any random Tuesday anyway.

There are still three more years of winter (the sequel) to attend to before we wait for the third game in the trilogy (Ragnarok). Black August posted:Kratos had loving better get Mjolnir, Gugnir, and at least one truly gently caress-off sword by #6 Hell yes. Norse mythology has all kinds of completely badass tools. The one that would fit a God of War game along with the current toolset best would probably be Skidbladnir, the ship. It’s the finest ship in the sea, large enough to hold all the gods, their armor, and their weapons, and always finds the right wind to take it where it needs to go, and was made with such craftsmanship that it can even be folded up and carried in a bag or one’s pocket when not needed. I mean come on would that not be the most perfect home base for a video game.

According to Cory Barlog on a recent podcast you can figure out that Atreus = Loki very early in the game somehow, in the same way that the Blades of Chaos are foreshadowed.

Frey's sword is something that would be interesting to see. It fights for itself and is blessed to never let harm come to him. [Side note: the reason Frey gets his rear end kicked by Surtr at Ragnarok and all of mankind, living and dead, ceases to exist is because he traded this sword to his wingman so he'd hype him up to a hot giant lady]
