Can someone sum what is supposed to happen in Ragnarok? Also I'm super confused on the aesir and vanir gods. Are Thor and Odin Aesir gods? And Freya is a vanir god?

Thanks. I am actually done with all 8, The Muspheilm one being the hardest since I also had to do the Arena's, but made it through her as well.
With that said I on the Queen now and she is kicking my ass even though I see most if not all of her moves. I got her down to about a 1/3rd left, so pretty sure I got her, just will take awhile.
Thanks for the help though, ironically I am using most of what you suggest minus the Rage Talisman, I do not have it. I may need to go get some resources to craft some shit.
Do you really think Kratos would fight Thor and Odin right in the first game?Also go home.
True. Kratos didn't take down the Greek Pantheon in one game. Still the main story didn't feel that long to me. I would have beaten it a lot sooner if I wasn't messing around with side stuff.
Edit: I know about the ending when you go home. Like I said, it just felt short to me is all.

Going along this line I hope there isn't some butterfly effect or donnie darko like ending where kratos realizes he needs to die in the past so the events of ragnarok happen as they should, like his very presence in midgard led to strange events like Freya casting that enchantment upon baldur which drove him insane.
I just finished the game and I am so happy I was fed fake spoilers beforehand.
First one was that Arteus is actually son of Odin and not Kratos' and second was that Kratos dies.
I know at the end Kratos death is foreshadowed but I still think long ways from that and there is more tot hat.
Anyway the biggest twist was definitely Arteus being Loki, I did not see that coming and it raises trillion questions especially as far as Thor goes.
Arteus getting Gungnir as he gets older would be dope.

Considering Thor and Odin are the strongest Gods in this land, what would killing them leave for the sequels? There's too much left to set up for the story before we finally get to Asgard, honestly. We haven't even seen Faye. I've never been a fan of quantity over quality. Let the world be built.
Did you go home yet?
Anyone else nervous when Baldur was trying to take us to Asgard? "The entire might of Asgard is about too reign down on you!" Shit had me extremely nervous.
So I went back and looked at the origonal art leak for this game on GAF

Nothing crazy there. Just fun to look at now.
This tweet from Shinobi aged PRETTY well.

Are some of the realms supposed to be unavailable? I think I've heard there might not be dlc but it would be weird just having realms we could never go to.
Asgard, Vanaheim and Svartalfheim/Nidavellir are locked off for story reasons. We'll probably see those in upcoming games, and I've got a feeling Muspelheim and Hel will be elaborated on as well considering their role in Ragnarok.
Vanaheim artworks and gameplay are posted in the leaks of the old forums . Check them there. The ones with lush vegetation and living flora.
Asgard and Vanaheim being closed off makes perfect sense within the story and lore. Odin deliberately sealed access to the home worlds of the Aesir and Vanir gods. He obviously doesn't want any uninvited guests there and he doesn't want Freya to ever return home. Apart from those realms there is only Svartalheim missing. It would've actually been fitting to travel there, because it is the homeland of Sindri, Brok, Ivaldi and all dwarves. Maybe they felt it was just too much content and/or they ran out of time.
This God of War is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than all the previous God of Wars.
You can't be disappointed with this length and be satisfied with the other 3's length.
And like someone else mentioned, you kill only 1 god in GoW 1. You don't go on a god rampage until GoW 3, which was several years later.
Freya making Baldur unkillable is actually part of the original Norse mythology. The differences from the game is that Freya and Frigg are two separate gods, and instead of casting a spell, she makes all lthings on earth promise her to not harm Baldur. The only thing to not make the promise was mistletoe. Loki finds this out and uses it to get Baldur killed. One of the Aesir's favorite games was to try and kill Baldur with any random object. One time Loki slips some mistletoe to one of the other Aesir and then kills Baldur.
It was very clever how Sindhi gave Atreus mistletoe arrows, and then later on Freya is "Aw hell no!" And takes them away.

What was on the panel in Jotunheim that is covered by the curtain? I couldn't interpret it and Kratos said nothing.
I'm sad we didn't at least see Thor or Odin. Now we have to wait for another game to see what happens!!
Edit: nvm I went home. Thor looks cool!
Who was Sindhi again? The Brok's brother? I don't remember why he gave him the mistletoe again?

Your guess is as good as anyone's.
There's a picture of the whole panel online that shows the next picture after the one Kratos saw. It depicts Atreus walking alone with a pack of wolves. It is assumed that in that panel Kratos sees, he is dead. However the character is missing the ash skin, red tatts, and other defining traits of Kratos. I'm guessing he is somehow forgiven of his past sins and loses those curse marks before he dies.
Sindri is Broks brother and he gives the arrows for saving his life from the dragon. The kid is unimpressed by them so he also gives us shock arrows.
I can't help but wonder who blew the horn while Kratos was bringing Atreus back to Freya. My immediate thought goes to time travel and we will be the ones doing that in some point in the next game, but just seemed a super random thing at the time.
Either way can't wait for more. All the little "teasers" spread throughout the game that we haven't seen yet but shown (all the other destinations there were blocked by Odin) and then the teasing of Valkyrie Freya is just toooo good!

But the only people who knows the language that the snake speaks are Mimir and Atreus which feeds into the time travel theory.
Gaia (Linda Hunt) was an an epic and spectatcular narrator in the previous games and now Mimir (Alastair Duncan) is an awkward and sneerer narrator and a great concept in the game iself. What narrator could they bring in the next GOW games in other civilizations? Some little dragon acolyte like Mushu (Mulan) when going to Japanese mythology? I can't imagine any GOW without an interesting narrator and lore teller.
Someone posted earlier some official art showing some dude blowing a horn and it matched old pictures of Heimdall, that's all I remember anyway
Found some cool fanart
"That is my promise to you" - The Valkyrie Queen in the fullness of her power
"That is my promise to you" - The Valkyrie Queen in the fullness of her power
Not Heimdall. It is Tyr in the mural but he uses a horn similar to the Heimdall Horn. maybe same horn.
Just beat it and wow, amazing. A lot of questions but either way it was amazing. These future games will be glorious.
Kratos will die but probably in the last game and if not the last game he'll be revived in the game after the one where he dies.
And man I like the idea of Mimir with Kratos and Atreus in future games. Maybe they'll find a way to free his body so that there's some three person combat going on. If not maybe Mimir will be the strategist while you and Atreus do battle. He'll provide tactics, hints, stuff like that to help out.

Yes. But the one who blew the horn is Tyr. the decaying statues in the lake of the nine depict him also the mural at the entrance of the game shows him blowing the horn.
Am i nuts or do all of the statues of Tyr look greek? I always get confused with that spear and shield.
You are not mistaken. This is because Tyr has access to different cultures. That is why he got mixed looks with Nordic, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, Persian in different parts.
where is there a persian influence? somewhere in his vault?
Iirc his armor and helmet. maybe the vault too. I saw many pictures in the screenshot thread showing many relics of many cultures that I could distinguish there too. If someo could post more pictures, we can identify them.
So in the next game, do you guys think theres going to be some type of war going on? Between all the realms Tyr was visiting joining together against Asgard?
Tyr called the snake or you THINK Tyr called the snake?
I'm going to need receipts beyond statues of guys blowing horns level speculation.

But also more importantly. The Lake of the Nine is a location where Tyr reigns. His statue and temple were built in it to show his importance there.
There is an art showing Tyr riding a snake and wilding a spear. This is mostly the world snake. It seems Tyr and the snake are buddies and they both worked together in battles. The statue and the area condition was not the result of natural disasters but also a fierce battle happened there which led to the mysterious disappearance of Tyr. The battle is mostly Tyr + the world serpent (again after being thrown back in time) against the Thor of this timeline. And both Tyr and Thor statues depict it. The snake kept living in that location and growing bigger. This explains why he is there in the first place and how much he was heinous against Thor that led him to destroy his statue. The temple is also ornated by snake snake decorations. Also the Tyr's statue has an inscription ordering Kratos to throw his weapon into the lake. This led the snake to swallow it, summoning him and imbuing the axe with Eitr, the substance that may kill Thor in the future.
All of this gives no doubt that everything was orchestrated by Tyr. There is also a mural at the entrance there showing Tyr blowing the horn. It seems that Tyr plotted a reserve plan in case things don't go well with him. Hence he devoted his buddy snake to help both Kratos and Atreus and even gave them access to his vault to witness his deeds and get inspiration from him.
There were speculations before but those evidences give no doubt anymore.

I didn't know it but in the first fight with Baldur, Kratos crushes him with a wall that predict the final fight with him. Maybe this was posted before but is new to me.
I think SSM should be able to bring on the sequel in two years...my bet is the sequel is in development for ps4 and the reason why there are no DLCs.
I mean they have roadmapped everything, they have the engine, all realms we visited have still a lot of potential and are visually finished.
The reimagination/redirectional work has been done, now they have the tools deliver much quicker.

Yeah and the rock shows the resurrection of Thamur giant.
Yeah Cory mentioned it in one of the spoilercasts and he said the home doors has scripts on them that talk about late game events. Also inside the light of Alfheim, Kratos walk in Jotunheim and Hellheim which are the late game locations.
