    I understand this is just a joke video, but when you sin for Atreus believing his father is human, it completely rejects the fact he’s never been outside his woods. Therefore has most likely never seen other people attempt strength based tasks. So all he knows is ‘Well I guess humans can do this, I wonder if I’ll be like that when I’m older?’

      Not to mention that Kratos was out hunting all the time (Atresu says so himself) and hardly ever spent time with his son before the events of the game, which means Kratos probably never had to use his massive strenght in front of Atreus. Classic Dartigan, completely ignoring things that are obvious to everyone else for the sake of "comedy".

    I feel like you've never played the game with some of these. Either that or you weren't paying attention. Sindri explains later on that their dwarf magic allows them to travel between realms and even makes himself 'invisible' at one point by stepping between realms to show Atreus before telling him the invisibility doesn't work on dragons. They don't need the gate portals or the world tree.
    The fact that you have the moment in the video and still question how Sindri and Brok move around before the characters is either fully for the purpose of being able to count it as a 'sin' or ignorance.
    Baldur is not known as Baldur in the first encounter, only the stranger and while he might be bad at negotiating, he's not asking anything of 'Kratos'. He's there to find the giant he knows is living in the woods - that Kratos and Atreus have never been out of so no, they didn't see the protection spell - not Kratos. He was looking for Laufey, who Mimir states later was a legend among the aesir. He had never seen her so Baldur obviously hadn't either and mistook Kratos for her, the last of the giants.
    He threw the axe in the water because the axe returns to him by magic. He wasn't worried about losing it. Atreus thinks his dad is still human after crazy physical feats because he's never seen anyone but his parents.
    No one ever says how much time has passed between GOW 3 and this game so why assume it's only been a few years or 'not that long'? Kratos is a God. It makes more sense to believe this game took place hundreds of years after the last game instead of trying to tie everything into a conventional, mortal timeline.
    I get that this is a joke video but damn. I feel like you just watched some cutscenes and made the video.

      Also, a lot of the sins given should be removed when you find out Faye knew EXACTLY what was going to happen. She knew every single footstep and hand placement Kratos and her son were going to make.

    • @leonpaelinck
      @leonpaelinck 4 роки тому +20

      yeah but the powers of the two dwarves is vague and illogic. does walking between realms mean they're invisible? or does it mean they can quickly travel between realm? but does that mean the dragon could do the same? then why didn't he turn invisible during the fight. also it still doesn't explain how quickly they move from place to place in the same realm

    • @ReadyPlayerDog
      @ReadyPlayerDog 4 роки тому +60

      @@leonpaelinck so as far as I can gather from the writers (And I may have misunderstood some of it) the dwarves move in the space between realms. So they can travel to other realms almost instantly and also travel in the current realm the same way. This also allows them to go unseen. Dragons used to be dwarves (I think, though not 100% on that) so that's probably why they can see a dwarf when he/she is 'invisible'. But since the dragons have kind of regressed due to whatever magic turned them into a dragon then they are no longer smart enough to travel between realms like they did before.

      Well we find out later that “boy” is Loki, father of the world serpent and he also is shown to learn the “dead” language in the last fight. If anything you should have sinned Loki for being a dick and only teaching his child a dead language just so he can learn it in the past once it goes back in time.

    Baldur isn't looking for Faye, he's looking for the last giant in Midgar (excluding Jörmungandr). Gender neutral. He mistook Kratos for the giant. I get that this is hard, even impossible, to catch the first time you play that scene, but surely it's easy to understand what he means with "I thought you'd be bigger" and "I thought your kind was supposed to be so enlightened" once you finished the game.

    For your sin regarding "I remember Kratos being a lot softer to his daughter and his surrogate daughter, Pandora," this is actually a reference to Greek history. Historically, Spartans were much harder on their sons than they were on their daughters, because their sons were expected to become the next generation of soldiers. If you were a Spartan citizen, you were a soldier and nothing else.

      @megashark1013 6 років тому +70

      Maybe he's training Atreus in a way that if Kratos is forced against his will to try to kill Atreus, he can fight back pretty well, unlike his daughter. I mean, think about it. Kratos has little to no protection against a bow, and that shock arrow seemed to harm him a lot. And since Kratos said that he would gladly let Atreus kill him if it meant he would live, what if it's all foreshadowing for Kratos to have his mind taken over by another God to attack Atreus, but Atreus has to kill him, as foreshadowed by dialogue and the painting made by the giants, which would also give Atreus a motive to hunt down the Gods and become a new Kratos?
      It's probably not going to happen, but it's just a theory. A GAME THEORY!

    The Blades of Chaos point is valid when you only know what's said in game however, other cannon work states that the blades are magically bound to him and no matter how hard he tries they will always appear again. For example, if Kratos throws them off a cliff, they'll appear on the rock behind him when he turns around. That's why he has them, not because he chose to, but because he accepted he's not gonna get rid of them

THAT is the travel rune.
    one transport rune, with 9 travel runes interlaced in it. the bottom of the transport rune is the "key slot", where the travel rune is they "key". change the "key" around, the travel gate will read the new key, and turn to its door, and open the path.

    SPOILER...
    Cory Barlog in an interview with Eazy Allies confirmed that Baldur had mistaken Kratos as a Giant. The magic stave that hid them from the Aesir was made by Faye, and the trees that channeled her magic were marked by her to be used as part of her funeral pyre to draw the God's attention and force Kratos and Atreus to embark on their journey, otherwise Kratos would've stalled on the task believing his son wouldn't be ready.
    Baldur figured he was a Giant so he would know they were looking for a way to Jötunheim. It's why he was being "coy" with his wording.

The fact Atreus births the snake and the way the various worlds exists with different conceptions of time proposes this. I do agree it could be categorized as foreign but that doesn’t nullify that it could also be categorized as ancient or dead.

    The Boar that Freya said is the last of his kind, is *NOT* an actual Boar! Before leaving after helping with the herbs you can talk to her and she tells you that this is not the true form of Hildisvini. He was once able to take any form he chose, but he's so old and has been a Boar for so long, that she fears the Boar may be all that remains... Also, you keep saying that Baldr is looking for Kratos' Wife, but even Baldr is unaware of that. He was sent to their home and told to find the last Giant of Midgard. When Kratos open's the door he said, "I thought you'd be bigger. But you're definitely the one. Long way from home, aren't you?". He says this not because he knows Kratos is a God from another country, but because he thinks that Kratos is the *Giant* from *Jotunheim* ! Honestly the only God that is aware the two of them are Gods, is Freya and no one else... Freya's home was beyond the Protective Stave that was around their home, Atreus never left it till the day of his Mother's funeral. And it's never mentioned how far Kratos traveled from their home... Time in Hel is different from that of Midgard. Since Brok can travle through the Realm between Realms, he was able to go to Midgard and return to Hel in just a couple seconds.

You don't see it in this footage properly, but there are runes on the omega letter itself, like on an address book. So how it works is, Kratos picks a rune he has recorded on the omega letter and uses it.

She knew what was going to happen all along and how important both Kratos and Atreus was for the fate of all the realms. Maybe her dying wish was in fact to start Ragnarok to finally end the god's tyranny and in order for that to happen, everything should go according with the plan.
    Sin 58: Mimir knew Baldur's weakness but Freya put a spell on him so he wouldn't remember when asked.

    The yellow painting that indicates climbing ledges etc. can be explained. Cory Barlog has said in interviews that Faye left those markings to guide Kratos and Atreus. She walked the path she foresaw them taking and literally marked the way for them. Yellow is Faye’s signature colour. Not sure about the chains though, perhaps she’s responsible for them, too. It would make sense she’d do everything in her power to help them, for the sake of her family and the preservation and protection of Jötunheim.

      but i understand that faye could see the future, that raises the other question, does that mean she meant for kratos to also go do all the side quests. releasing the dragons and such. i mean that doesn't sound very imperitive to kraos taking the ashes to yotenheim.

    5:06 I don't see why he wouldn't try, seeing as how Kratos can recall the axe like Mjolnr. He doesn't get it back immediately, but he has no reason to believe he wouldn't. -1

    16:40 I'd always assumed they were the same weapons throughout all his journeys. GoW1 They were stripped away by Ares, but he's given the "blades of Athena" soon after. Athena probably just nabbed them from Ares and gave them a fresh golden coat while Kratos walked to that cliff before giving them back. Then those blades got fucked up in the River Styx and were immediately repaired into the "Blades of Exile" in Gow3. So yeah, Always the same weapons just a new title with each repair job. -1
    17:18 Norse mythology does mention him and all the other trolls though. So you're not really sinning the game, you're sinning mythology. -1
    18:29 Because if you were paying attention, you'd have learned Tyr wants to test the goodness of any gods who came to retrieve the rune. Odin and sons would probably just let each other die in this trap, and the rune wouldn't become available to them. -1

    The thing is at the beginning, you know that Baldur was looking for a giant ordered by Odin, but neither he or Odin knows what the giant actually looks like until Baldur met Kratos. Baldur assumed Kratos IS the giant he is looking for hence "I thought you'd be bigger, but you are definitely the one" So it makes sense that Baldur would later ask Mimir about Kratos and his son because he doesn't actually know anything about Faye or her existence

      Nah, he did think Kratos was the giant and had no idea of his Greek godhood. Baldur was sent to retrieve Faye who we later find out to be the giantess Laufey. The whole “your kind” speech was referring to the giants, whom in this mythos were seekers of knowledge and wisdom, and were known to be more civilized than the “Aesir” gods: Odin, Thor, Baldur and the like. The “who are you hiding” was only interjected during their fight when he was hurled through the roof of Kratos’ cabin and asked “why were there two beds?”.

You'd have to know a decent amount about Norse Mythology to know about Baldur seeing as Baldur is not near as famous as Thor, Odin, or Freya.

  • @safwanrana1215
    @safwanrana1215 4 роки тому +10

    I know this is a joke video, but some of these sins honestly hurt my soul because of how unjustified they are. For example, Kratos being more harsh with Atreus than Calliope makes more sense than if he wasn't, because Spartans boys train from birth and receive harsh treatment daily, whilst daughters are taught how to fight *and* get a small bit of combat training to protect their village. The kind of cold treatment Atreus receives here is extremely loving by Kratos' standards.
    Also, the sin about dwarven travel between realms is explained right in front of you, yet you still feel the need to sin it? It's pretty simple. Dwarven magic is so incomprehensible for humans that they do not understand what they are seeing, so they see nothing at all. The reason why dragons can see dwarves but humans can't is like tracker dogs being able to smell for clues whilst humans can't. It makes perfect sense.
    Also, there is technically no such "convenience" in this game, as everything you set out to do is controlled by fate. So let's say you decide to not complete story missions for over a month, instead focusing and completing all side missions before you face Baldur at the end. Well, technically Faye has already anticipated that, hence all the ledge markings everywhere you go. No matter how far you steer away from the main objective, or how convenient the main objective seems, Faye has already planned for it. Because everything that happens in the game was *meant* to happen.
    Finally, because I can't keep going on forever, Baldur had never seen Faye in his life. Baldur was sent by Odin to find a giant in Midgard because that would be the only way for Baldur to undo the magic Freya had put on him. Odin was lying, of course, but bear in mind, Odin didn't say, "Go find the giant known as Laufey. She's a woman, who has an axe, and she's living in Midgard. Can't miss her." All he said was, "Go find the giant hiding in Midgard." Much more vague, which is why Baldur mistook Kratos for being the giant in question. Everything Baldur says to Kratos when they first meet clearly tell us he is looking for a giant, but at the time, we thought he was talking about Kratos, which is a testament to how fantastic the dialogue in this game is. For example, when Baldur says, "Thought you'd be bigger...", he's referring to how Giants are typically big creatures, but we thought he was smack-talking about how the Ghost of Sparta wasn't as big as he thought he'd be. When Baldur says, "I thought you're kind was supposed to be so enlightened-", he's referring to how the giants were supposed to be the most intelligent of all the races, but we thought he was talking about how the Greeks were so enlightened in their science and philosophy.
    Oh yeah, and for the love of God (of War), do some research before you post these videos. The only way to make these videos funny is if the sin is completely justified and is actually a flaw within the game's story. Making unjustified sins makes the video irritating to watch. It doesn't matter if you only sin once, as long as it is a good sin. E.g. Kratos never tried to look for the Blades of Chaos, instead trying as hardest as he could to throw them away, or banish them for good. But because the Blades are cursed, they always found their way back to him, which is why he keeps them tucked away in his home, as a reminder of the atrocities he has committed.
    But all in all, it was a good video, and it had me laughing a couple of times. And remember what Kratos has said: "Speed costs accuracy.".

      Except Mimir isn't dumb, tattooed man would lead you to believe he is male, he's obviously not talking about Thor or his sons because why would he need to look for them? We never meet a tattooed man that travels with a child, so no that's not a sin.

      I think the Vikings used to refer to their “tattoos” back at the time as symbolic runes that they’d “tattoo” on their bodies, hence, I think by asking about a “tattooed man” it’s pretty obvious that it’s one that’s different, since Kratos’s tattoos latterly means nothing to them and the Norse, but to him personally from his good old times back in Ancient Greece. Although, most of the sins in this video are faulty, but it just seems like the team behind the channel never actually played the game known that almost in every 5 minutes during the gameplay there’s something about the story to be explained, either through Mimir’s tales, collectibles, lore written in runes that boy adds to his journal, and mostly from playing the damn game and exploring the story further, but it was a fun video none the less.

    That part with Fryea not noticing the mistletoe holding the quiver together even though she cared for him for at least a few hours is a nice catch, I never noticed it before.

      Wildwolf The ending is great. It finishes many of the plot build ups all at the same time, which is needed for a great ending. It still has a sense of mystery, and sets up very well for the sequel. It told us just enough to satisfy us, while leaving us wanting more.
      What is in your mind a great ending? God of War 3, when Kratos stabs himself and just dies!?

  • @pizzaguy5684
    @pizzaguy5684 5 років тому +8

    You gotta love the subtle foreshadowing in this game.
    First, as many Norse people would know, Baldur dies by mistletoe, which is why the woman (freya, I think it was) tells Loki/Boy to destroy the mistletoe arrows.
    Also, Boy asking if he can turn into an animal, then at the end of the game showing he is Loki is amazing.
    This, this is what a good game should be.

    The ledge paint is there because Kratos’s wife already knew there journey and did special marking. Hence why you see the same colored marking on the tree in the beginning of the game. She purposely did all of the markings. That’s why the dragur were so close to the house is because the trees had a spell on them to keep dragur out. But kratos’s wife purposely wanted them to break there spell to begin their journey.
