The story of the very first God of War, as informed by the Ragnarök wrap-up

This is simply a wild assumption, however I don’t believe I’ll be the only individual whose very first God of War game will certainly be God of War Ragnarök. Luckily for me, the programmers currently prepared for gamers that didn’t play God of War (2018). As you boot Ragnarök a really hassle-free alternative shows up in addition to the primary food selection, entitled “God of War recap.”

At initially, I assumed it would certainly assist individuals like me enter into Ragnarök recognizing with confidence what occurred in the previous game and also what to expect in this game. However, after seeing it, I’m a lot more persuaded that it’s really planned for those that simply haven’t played God of War in a while. That’s since the minute-and-a-half-long video clip incoherently leaps from scene to scene, and also it obtains supplied without context and also or any type of real straight story recap of the very first game. Even though I enjoyed it, I have no hint what occurred. So I determined it would certainly be amusing to create a blog post regarding what I believe occurred in God of War based upon the main wrap-up in Ragnarök’s primary food selection.

Let’s start.

There’s a huge, solid bearded individual called Kratos and also a kid called Atreus. I can figure a minimum of this much out because, shock, I recognized that they were currently. The game begins since Atreus’ mom dies and also he and also his dad wish to spread her ashes on a hill top.

It appears like a rather uphill struggle since an arbitrary woman states that the area is a world of the gods. I don’t understand if that’s the area of the hill they need to go to, however I’m mosting likely to presume that it is, since why on Earth would certainly they wish to go there or else. Kratos informs somebody they are a god; nonetheless, I can’t inform if it’s being resolved to Atreus or to this woman, Freya. I’m presuming it’s Freya, since the wrap-up reveals her making use of wonderful powers that can make plants expand, and also she describes being the leader of the Vanir.

Kratos reduces the avoid an individual called Mimir and after that immediately provides it to a gigantic dragon point. I don’t understand why Mimir would certainly welcome Kratos to remove his head, however the clip programs Kratos raising a direct, so I believe Kratos did the important things. Mimir points out Kratos eliminating the kids of Odin, that I’m thinking are gods. Then Kratos offers a li’l warm chatter regarding himself. Apparently he selected to end up being a male, however really he’s a god. So I don’t understand if he’s a god or a male or simply an actually solid guy currently.

Atreus discovers he’s a god. He states he’s a gigantic however he seems a typical elevation to me. That leads Atreus to believe he can do whatever he desires as a god, so after that he goes and also eliminates an additional god. (This god doesn’t show up to argue versus a kid, in some way.) Kratos appears mad since he screams and also informs Atreus that there are effects if you eliminate a god.

At this factor, the tale obtains additional significant. Some various other man called Baldur goes into the image. He doesn’t appear to such as Kratos or Freya. And I’m presuming that Kratos and also Freya connected once more, so I expect Freya acts as an overview to Kratos. But currently whatever appears poor since this Baldur individual obtains pissed, and also Kratos turns his head and also eliminates him. I don’t actually understand why he’s pissed, however it could be because Atreus actually eliminated a god. Meanwhile Freya grieves Baldur’s passing and also calls him her child, so I’m presuming that’s her kid.

Then Atreus points out that somebody called him Loki and also he inquires about that. Kratos doesn’t appear to respect discussing anything! He disperses Atreus’ concern. So I’m presuming Atreus isn’t simply a god however an extra-special god since Loki is a rather vital Marvel personality.

In completion, we see them high up in the clouds and also rather serene, so it appears like they finished their objective of spreading out the ashes. (Although once more, I want I recognized why that was necessary.) The wrap-up doesn’t claim if Atreus is straight pertaining to Kratos, which appears rather dang vital. Overall, it resembles there are a great deal of unsolved story factors from the very first game that will certainly obtain created in Ragnarök. The wrap-up wasn’t incredible, however you understand what? I’ve simply surrendered myself to searching for wikis when I require some additional history.
