Mimir’s mocking and saltiness was funny and kratos’ lines in this vid were also funny. He took 1 attempt and just said ‘I do not like riddles’. It’s also the way he said it. It’s also the fact that he kept that riddle in mind for that long even tho he doesn’t like them. They did a good job with this game. Basically, every like in his vid is funny or somewhat funny
The part that makes this funny is up to this point he has been loving mimir riddles, What door do you go through one with a pit of spikes one with a dragon or one with a lion that hasnt been fed for weeks Kratos was like spike pits they are easy to avoid, mimir said the correct answer is the lion it hasnt been fed for weeks its dead kratos responds this riddle I like it
My guess was "emptiness", since subtracting only removes more, making the emptiness bigger, but I guess a "hole" is a more concrete answer. Kratos was right all along, just didn't phrase it exactly right. For how much he dislikes riddles, he's quite good at them, which makes sense, since he's had a lot of time to pick up practical knowledge and wisdom.
"What gets bigger the more you take away?" Emptiness won't work, because you have to take away something, but you can't take something way when it's already empty to begin with.
@@aut0mat1c11 You don’t really take away anything from the hole either, since what you remove is the border or bottom around or below it, if you want to be technical. A hole is the lack of something, in a rough geometrical sense defined by what surrounds it. Emptiness is also defined as lack of things, but in a more metaphysical sense. And both do get bigger, the more of what surrounds it you take away.
@@aut0mat1c11 Making there a lack of something, where ”holes” are a lack of material in a given area and ”emptiness” is a more metaphysical lack of anything, or could be seen as such anyway. The more you take away, the bigger they get, because the less there is, making the less more. I get it exactly, simple as.
@@thecrazymonkeygamer4708 a hole, ***spoilers*** could refer to the hole in uhm brok, the figurative 'hole' someone ends up in after dying or the hole left in sindris heart after his brothers permanent passing

Seriously whoever did the writing for their interaction deserves appraisal and lots of flowers! I have been loving how lively GoW is from the previous game. Everyone is so likeable
@@Iloverimjobs oh yeah he did. i was so confused watching the brok funeral leak when mimir said a hole gets biggers the more you take away, and now i get it.
I think it's because he didn't experience "the more you take from it" yet but when Sindri said that Atreus (and Kratos) only takes from him only then Mimir realized that with Brok's death that it left "a hole" in Sindri and they keep taking from him
thank you for not spoiling the scene where he finds out the answer, i like to have scenes like that one to be worked for when someone is playing the game. i appreciate you
Kratos was so close too. The answer is SPACE, though "a hole" works too. The amount of space in a place gets bigger the more you take away from it, and a hole gets bigger the more you dig at it. Mimir was caught up trying too hard to be complex or metaphysical, but Brok thinks in practicalities, you kinda have to in order to be a good blacksmith.
"I won't be lectured on romance by the likes of you!" Kratos literally had 2 wives and neither one technically left him. I'd say listen to his thoughts on romance!
I found mimir not knowing the answer to this simple riddle kind of out of character for him. Yeah I know it's for foreshadowing plot points while being ironic, but I can't help but think "Really? That one was a real brain twister for the 'smartest man alive'?"
He's not wrong, "nothing" is the absence of somehing, so the more you take away from something the bigger "nothing" gets, must be the Greek side of Kratos coming out if that's his line of thinking. But we all know Broke wouldn't make the answer that philosophical.
Kratos was pretty close. If mimir had thought about it for a second he could have connected it to the real answer. Wouldn't have had as much of an impact later tho
brok was arguably my favorite character from god of war ragnarok because i never laughed so hard at some of the interactions he had i was pissed when he died damn you odin
A candle, also didn't Mimir say this riddle to kratos and kratos got it straight away? wait no, that was different riddle. i am getting my riddles mixed up, its a hole.
The answer is a hole Another answer could be a sponge Or (in the context of it being a god of war game) vengeance, as the more you take away (family,friends) the more your vengeance will grow
I already knew the answer for the riddle, i always enjoyed Mimir's attempts, I just wasn't expecting the hear the answer at his funeral and thinking about Sindri. It hit me pretty hard...
Answer: A hole... the bigger it gets the more you take away. The meaning is profound in may scenarios and conditions. The narrative / creative team at santa monica has done a really good job. Kudos
"I won't be lectured on the nature of romance by the two of you duffers!" Kratos: . . . you DO know I courted the goddess of Love from my homeland, right?

@@GodShadowdeath lmao
Kratos is pretty smart when it comes to puzzles and problems that are in his way, he has done so many he is just sick of them
Huh. Kratos was actually pretty close. I mean, usually there's "nothing" in a hole. Especially the one Sindri was feeling.
💀
that was way too brutal
Especially the one in Brok's chest

Nothingness would be more accurate than nothing.
Kratos: "I don't like riddles"
Also Kratos: *solves puzzles from Pandora's Temple, Temple of Sisters, and Olympus/Labyrinth*
That's probably why he doesn't like them to be fair
He liked the door with spikes or lions one.
Well he kinda had to, or else he dies.
At the very end, Mimir finally gets it. But sadly, he can't exactly gloat about it. A somber and heartbreaking moment for sure.

He figured it out seeing Sindri: Sindri lost his brother so he has a "hole" in his heart/life.

he was the best of us.

Yknow what? naawww
Get up spartan, a warrior never puts his riddling on the ground

What a funny and hilarious moment that I am certain will not come back at the end of the game to punch us in the gut leaving us heart-broken and empty
Mimir's voice when he's mocking Brok is the best thing I've heard all day
When I heard it I thought it was the ground or a heart then when we all figured it out tears came
Kratos and Brok agreeing on love and Mimir's frustration was great and hilarious
"stumped the stump!" brok- 2022
You forgot the part where he finally figures it out.

0:34 Blue twat, Hahaha Mimir ye made me day mate, that was really funny.
love how mimir just shouts hole when brok dies
“Chub buffin” wow that’s a new one brok lol
I thought it was a room, when you take objects from a room the room itself gets bigger
He broke Mimir, lol.
The way Mimir impersonates Brok is hilarious 😆
The moment Mimir realizes the answer is extremely tragic.
Ive heard two answers for this at different times. One was nothing and one was a hole
I found mimir not knowing the answer to this simple riddle kind of out of character for him. Yeah I know it's for foreshadowing plot points while being ironic, but I can't help but think "Really? That one was a real brain twister for the 'smartest man alive'?"

Kratos is the type of guy to get one question wrong on Jeopardy and just leave the studio
For the longest while I thought it was "space."
The more you take away from space, the larger space grows. I was so sure of it too. :(
The answer is indeed Empty Space, but 'nothing' is a concept, a figure, so its better to say, "empty Space" as the answer
You missed the scene where Mimir answers it correctly at "someone's" funeral
"A hole."
Kratos was pretty close. If mimir had thought about it for a second he could have connected it to the real answer. Wouldn't have had as much of an impact later tho
"Riddles? I don't like riddles, I'm a fucking god of war."
I guessed "space" while I was watching my friend play. We both thought it was a solid guess. Turns out it still ain't it...
I love how Brok's riddle was foreshadowing Sindri
its so weird seeing kratos have friends w how he used to be
Um... A hole? That or like a tear or something.
Mimir felt his denied love for Sigrun grow bigger and bigger each year he spent stuck inside the mountain tree :)
a hole. -Mimir.
It's the way Mimir says that makes me tickle "I can't let that blue twat beat me!"
I don't blame Kratos for not liking riddles. A well-known Greek beast had for lunch men who couldn't solve hers.
"Handses? Knife? String, or nothing!"
Because of the ending this riddle only causes me crippling depression
life span.
the time you have lived, and the time you have left. life span.
My guess was "a shadow" since if you take your hand or any object away from a shadow the shadow gets bigger.
So much for the "Most smartest head alive"
Empty space? Nothing is rather a close answer.
It’s bit ironic that such a simple riddle can confuse the likes of mimir of all people
That’s why it stumped him. Mimir is thinking too outside or some philosophical deeper meaning when the answer is so simple.
overthinking i guess
brok was arguably my favorite character from god of war ragnarok because i never laughed so hard at some of the interactions he had i was pissed when he died damn you odin
Man, what a simple riddle, a hole! That's the answer!
Hahahaha, haha...ahaha 😭

wait no, that was different riddle. i am getting my riddles mixed up, its a hole.
"Smartest Man Alive."
scratching an infected wound makes it bigger
The answer is a hole
Another answer could be a sponge
Or (in the context of it being a god of war game) vengeance, as the more you take away (family,friends) the more your vengeance will grow
Well it is confrimed it is a hole
What is revenge if not a hole
You should have added when Mimir answered the riddle... you know.... on the funeral..
The answer for this one is "a hole" but "empty space" could also work I guess.
Oh.
That's why Mimir said "a hole" at Brok's funeral.
it's actually the same riddle I've first heard in my life!
the answer is a hole, the more dirt you take away from it the bigger it gets
Should of included his answer at the funeral
I haven't played that part yet. Thought he never gets it.
@@Bak10281 well, I'm not going to say who's funeral but Mimir does get it

"... A hole. That's what get's bigger the more you take away."
Oh, Brok Cremation.. it makes sense now
This was a hole chain of events
It’s a hole
Kratos was the closest out of anyone before time was up
You don’t consider hole as an answer because we don’t assume a hole is a object on its own
The loss gets gibber the more you take away
I already knew the answer for the riddle, i always enjoyed Mimir's attempts, I just wasn't expecting the hear the answer at his funeral and thinking about Sindri. It hit me pretty hard...
Sadly I heard the riddle before this game, so I was just really mad that no one else could figure it out.
My guess for the riddle was "time", since as you waste or lose time time the time itself is increasing.
A hole, Mirmir. Its a hole.
What gets bigger the more you take it away.Shadow
a hole gets bigger the more you take away
Answer: A hole... the bigger it gets the more you take away. The meaning is profound in may scenarios and conditions. The narrative / creative team at santa monica has done a really good job. Kudos
I thought the answer was “ego”. The more you take away from someone’s ego, the bigger it tends to get.
Shame it took tragedy for the answer
Man this hurts..
Would man be an answer?
The more hardships man faces the more they grow.

Did anyone else piss themselves laughing at that. I thought it was a pretty good roast by Brok XD
I sure did.
Mimir actually solves this riddle, but its too late.
Was anyone else screaming the answer at the screen
Jackcepticeye already figured it out… i think
I mean it makes sense. A “Hole!” It gets bigger the more you take away from it.
If the riddle was "What gets bigger the more you take away" the answer could have been "grief". But Brok's wording is a little more specific.
A tantrum, the more you take away things from someone the bigger their attitude or tantrum grows.
Guys...it's "A Hole". The more of the inside of the hole you take away, the bigger the hole gets.
IT'S A HOLE! Geez Mimir.
I started to realize that Mimir already figured the riddle out in the ending. Ill play this game and pay attention once more if NG+ is on.
alternate ending: "A HOLE! HA!"
brok: (i'm boutta end this mans whole career)"asshole..."
My guess for the riddle is "a hole" or "grave". The more dirt you take from the hole, the bigger it gets.
Guess brok will take the answer to the grave
