Mixed by Me
Kratos and Freya visit the Norns in an attempt to get answers on events to come. The three wise women’s answers don’t satisfy the God of War and the Witch of the Woods, so it is up to themselves to break fate for the sake of the Realms.

It's nornin time
My favorite scene of the game was when the norns said “It’s nornin’ time!” And then norned all over the place
@@edrick106 and it nearly killed Kratos, Freya and Mimir, so they ran outta there, rode the magic horsey, and escaped the Norns.
"Oh sh- they're nornin"
“What are we some kind of nornin squad?”
“Say that again?”
This scene was the most surreal in the God of War series. The home of the Norns protected by a series of tough enemies, several mind screws, all to protect their gold threaded abode which is under the well of destiny and can only be accessed by a foreign species of magical horse. Then there are the Norns themselves, their appearance makes them look uncanny as their color palette, glowing eyes, horns, and facial structure give them a look of characters in a Masked Drama as they move in and out of their golden threaded abode
Urd: The Crone who has seen it all and is done with our characters nonsense
Verdandi: The Maiden who constantly announces the characters actions in real time as if it were in a script
Skuld: The Child who prances while mocking the words of Kratos, Mimir, and Freya by quoting them a fraction of a second before they do
Then there message to the 3 about fate in general. The way they think of it is nonsense. Its not a tangible thing that can be controlled even by them. It is just the predictable end result of their actions.
Mimir: with his constant moral compromises that he did in the service of Odin which eventually led to his fate as an undead head
Freya: her cursing Baldur with immortality despite the fact that it came with Extreme Sensory Deprivation as a price drove him mad and towards Odin for all the wrong reasons
Kratos: The list is vast of his faults but his biggest is that his only solution to most of his problems usually revolves around killing things especially Gods who have stakes in many peoples lives and environments in which people thrive.
The Norns do not mince words and tell shall they continue on this path they will end up in the future they want to avoid, and make our trio feel more powerless then any giant monster, or god ever has just by talking to them.
Capping off the scene they stare at them in amused mockery as they give their parting words
(3:00)
Skuld(Kratos): "We are leaving"
Verdandi: "He stomps away, followed closely by Freya."
Urd: *"I enjoyed your story Kratos! Pity it has to end so soon."*
Skuld is my favorite.
its Great Kratos like he said he Just wanted information also Unlike Ameleth still Managed to come out Alive and Change his fate
Looking back on this scene and reasoning through it, the implications there are insane. The norns had kratos horriblby wrong. He didn't wish to know his fate. Even the *first* sentence he said, he meant: "I seek my son". This can be further supported by him "missing the point" and only caring for heimdall. This shows how far kratos has grown as a character, putting his son's safety over his own.
@anonymouspug7686 yes what i love his time in the norse saga
2:35
-And then Ragnarok.
-The Skies burns, The curtains fall. Exeunt omnes.
Heimdall...!
Exeunt omnes. Means used as a stage direction to indicate that all the actors leave the stage
@@JBTriple8 or to put it indelicately: EVERYONE dies.😅
@@gamingthatsall4253 "Again he misses the point!"
@@kaizserpokoina9538 "Focusing on the second act to the exclusion of the final."
After Ragnarök:
Urđ: "Well, sisters, it looks like the Ghost of Sparta has finally become a better man! Took him long enough."
Skuld: _"Loki will go. Atreus... Atreus remains."_
Verđandi: "Awww. Kratos and his son share a warm final embrace."
Urđ: "Of course we always knew he could do it. Change his ways, become a hero. He started on this path a long time ago."
Verđandi: "The boy, now a man, looks at his father for the last time. Atreus exits stage left."
Urđ: "And, oh, what did Kratos just see on that triptic?"
Skuld: _"A path."_
Verđandi: "Kratos, Freya and Mimir's head gaze upon the frozen Midgard. The End."
"Little that they know another god has reach these lands and the true end of everything will begin".
Interesting 🤔 script of the aftermath of Ragnarock
Is Urð the oldest?
@@dewoak7257 theyre all the same age. they just represent a different perspectives
Urth is the future
Verdandi is narrator or reader of a story
skuld is the present
@@mynameisanmo6654 That was some good information thank you.
I know an ash tree,
named Yggdrasil,
a high tree, speckled
with white clay;
dewdrops fall from it
upon the valleys;
it stands, forever green,
above Urth's well.
Three wise women
live there,
by that well
under that tree.
Urth is named one,
another is Verthandi,
the third is named Skuld.
They carve men's fates,
they determine destiny's laws,
they choose the lifespan
of every human child,
and how each life will end.
(Stanza 19 - 20, Voluspa, Poetic Edda)
Thanks you
2:33 this where the best part start. The tension, the fear, the suspense, the revelation, the truth and the big decision of a choice to make.
When Kratos hears that his “Story is coming to an end” you can see the anger and disbelief in his face as he walks away knowing that if he doesn’t alter his actions his death is imminent. As they mock him as he leaves as a Gamer this was a sinking feeling knowing that this mighty figure could actually die. I was like no no no you have to break the cycle..
the twists in this game made me believe this was the best in the series and overall all time best of games
Exeunt omnes brother
The moments where you play as Atreus did make me believe Kratos would in fact die and the Epilogue would have you playing as Atreus instead, à la Red Dead
Urd. That which has happened.
Verdandi. That which is happening.
Skuld. That which will happen.
Past. Present. Future. They know it all. And they decide it all.
I personally loved the designs and characterization of Urd ,Verdandi, and Skuld. Showing that they're vastly differently than the sisters of fate in Greece. They only watch over the fate of all, they don't control it as they said in the game.
The music in this scene is so good, it makes me wonder why it isn't in the ost (apart from the "Ragnarök" leitmotif).
2:35 gave me chills
They should extend this part
You will die, Kratos of Sparta
Been waiting for this one! This cutscene is honestly on of my favorites, especially with the song
Been trying to find this theme since forever, ty!
HUGE mistake for this to be unreleased music, I've been tearing my hair out thinking it must be under a confusing name on the soundtrack but nope! Bless u op
Personally, I found the Norns both funny and annoying. What about you? What did you think of the Norse Seers/Fates?
Don’t forget to subscribe for more high quality God of War: Ragnarök OST videos
I love Skuld. The other two are ok.
I liked them, they changed the protagonists for the better.
@@Icy-be5vlOh yah, I love her too since she’s the youngest and most sexually appealing aswell
@@Icy-be5vl She’s the scariest. The way she anticipates the exact words you’re gonna say before you actually say them is horrifying.
@@Visitant01 Freya deserved that.
Thanks, this is one of my favorites moments of the game
I thought i was watching game of thrones for a sec
2:34 "Death can have me when It earns me."
2:32 what is this kind of music called, the dark theme with the violin and the pure dark sound ?
Ig epic orchestral music? To a degree. Rok Nardin makes plenty like this tho check him out
"Exeunt Omnes"
3:00 best part
This is amazing. One of my favorite tracks from this game. Thank you so much!
I was hoping for an extended album release of the soundtrack but doesn't seem like it so far. There is so much missing on what we got. 😭
2:35 "And you will do what you do best."
This is definitly my favorite theme of the game, too bad they didn't release it (even though you got it somehow)... my second favorite is Gryla and then A Son's Path
02:29 Ragnarök
The Norns said I chase the redemption that I know I can never deserve.
2:34
Skuld is my favorite female character in this game. She is sweet. She makes fun of Kratos and Freya and she reminds me myself a lot and I love female characters who are like me. I love her.
So your favorite character is someone who has only mocked people by saying their words back to them?
@@pontiffsulyvahn3898 Yes. You have any problem with that? Because I can have prolem with you because you probably like Freya. You like a female who killed her own son and this is a bit hypocrisy if you hate Odin for killing Thor.
@@Icy-be5vl And yet she goes through a redemption arc. Odin doesn't. And besides- she didn't kill Bauldr. Kratos did. She merely cast the spell which made him go mad. It's terrible that she didn't remove it, but that's why she was a villain for most of these games. It's called a tragic flaw. Odin says he didn't want to kill Thor, but he says this to his face while killing him out of anger and selfishness. Freya only ever wanted to protect Bauldr.
Meanwhile, this Norn you apparently like doesn't have any traits of her own besides repeating what others say and giggling when they get annoyed. That's literally it.
@@pontiffsulyvahn3898 Here's the think. I don't like toxic mothers like Freya. I like characters like Skuld. What else you don't understand? Freya deserves to suffer.
@@pontiffsulyvahn3898 Besides I said already why I like her.
Sisters of fate are better and more iconic but these guys were entertaining. With how they told their propehcies and introduced the protagonists
I felt like the Norns were much more than interesting because they never claimed to have been controllers of fate or destiny, they simply manage to predict man’s choices before he chooses. They deny the existence of fate interestingly. They’re very different from their Greek counterparts.
@@Visitant01 I still prefer the Greek Version.
Sisters of fate in the Greek saga were so comically stupid and anyone who thinks prefers them over the norns is blinded by nostalgia
@@qwiksand2555 norns did nothing but talk in riddles.
@@azrael_morningstar because that is their role in the myths, your complaint is only because you couldn't fight with them, the sisters of destiny were more like creatures who didn't think much without memorable phrases
2:35 my face just had goosebumps
2:33 😫
02:32 Favorite part. 😍
I am the sum of my choices, yes, ask your Greek counterparts. Oh sorry, you can’t…
2:35 does anyone no the name of the song,
Its just called ‘ragnarok‘
the title of the music is very beautiful
2:34
Why is it unreleased
Because it’s not on the official soundtrack
@@o-ng5t69 but it really was in the game
@@John_Zatanna It wasn't in the soundtrack they *released,* so it hasn't been officially 'released.'
@@pontiffsulyvahn3898 but it is official so where did this page get it?
@@John_Zatanna right how did they get it?
