He effortlessly summons lightning bolts that disintegrate wood, stone and probably earth. Hopefully, that will allow them to see eye to eye and finally look past their differences. Killed Starkaðr Giant with many arms by cutting him down approximately to his size that wasnt too nice of him, I suppose Slaughtered most of the Giants. Whatever God of War: Ragnarok brings, it is likely that Kratos and Freya will be crossing paths frequently. It would be a pity to build so much empathy between players and a character just to have her used as a typical villain in the sequel. While it is true that Kratos was protecting Freya when he killed Baldur, one can understand why Freya would still feel resentment towards Kratos.Ī lot of time was spent crafting Freya into an emotionally complex character. Though it is possible to criticize her actions, it is also equally possible to understand how a mother would want to do everything in her power to protect her son.

If Kratos, despite all his evil deeds, is allowed a redemption arc, why not Freya? Though Freya has made many mistakes, God of War has gone out of its way to make her a relatable character whose actions can always be understood from a human perspective. Realizing that Baldur will not control his rage and resentment, Kratos and Atreus battle it out with Baldur, eventually killing him in front of Freya. He is overcome by a murderous desire to seek vengeance against his mother. Instead of gratitude, Baldur experiences rage towards his mother for robbing him of his ability to feel. In a desperate attempt to protect her child, Freya had cast a curse on Baldur that protects him from needless deaths, while preventing him from feeling all physical sensations. The relationship between Kratos and Freya grows sour thanks to Baldur. Kratos, who is brave enough to travel to the icy depths of Helheim, retrieves the ingredients and hands them to Freya, who makes a cure for Atreus and saves his life. She tells Kratos where to find the ingredients to make a cure for Atreus. She is especially useful to the duo when Atreus falls ill. Now that God of War: Ragnarok has gone gold, you can expect to pick it up on the Playstation 4 or Playstation 5 on November 9.As Kratos and Atreus continue their journey to scatter Faye's ashes at the highest peak of the nine realms, they occasionally cross paths with Freya who assists them.

Considering that Loki in Norse myth is the one who starts Ragnarok with the death of Baldur, there is a very great deal of pressure on the young man’s shoulders. God of War Ragnarok will follow up on this with an even more epic journey, as we’ve seen Kratos fighting Thor, Freya, Valkyries, and many other new enemies, though new allies, such as the formerly-absent god Tyr, have also become involved in the story.Īlong with the new allies and enemies, however, Kratos and Atreus must also continue their own journeys of self-discovery, especially when it comes to Atreus’s own origins. This seemingly simple task evolved into a battle between Kratos and his son and the gods of the Norse pantheon as secrets were revealed, leaving us with the onset of Fimbulwinter, the coming of Ragnarok, and the reveal of Atreus’s true name: Loki. In the last God of War game, Kratos and his son Atreus embarked on an epic journey to scatter the ashes of Kratos’s wife Fae from the top of a mountain. Now, two years later, the time is finally here, and the game promises to be even bigger and more epic than the previous one. God of War Ragnarok was first announced at the Playstation 5 reveal event back in 2020, alongside a wide variety of other Triple-A games that have been released since then. Sony Santa Monica announced today on Twitter that God of War Ragnarok, the sequel to the 2017 God of War game, has gone gold, meaning that the game is finished and is now getting sent off to be put onto discs. After five years, we’re going back to the Nine Realms.
