I think its just common trait of Odin's sons. Some of his lines reminds me of Baldur, like "pain is not as bad as I remember" and his crazed laugh in 3rd phase.
To be fair with Baldur, Baldur literally got high off his pain during the fight, and it's only during the end of the that when Kratos Spartan Rages when Baldur realises how badly he fucked up. Heimdall isn't immune to pain on the other hand, so yeah, he literally just has a super high pain tolerance.

I really like how Heimdall slightly mirrored Baldur but still manage to be his own character. They are both cocky and overconfident with their godhood to the point of underestimating their opponent but Baldur is bitter and full of resentment while Heimdall is just....an asshole for lack of a better word. There could have very well been some form of rivalry between Heimdall and Baldur because while Atreus was in Asgard, Heimdall pointed out that Baldur has the luxury of invulnerability making it easier for him to tame beasts without caring if they would hurt him, while Heimdall has to actually tame them. Also another detail is when Kratos was about to kill Baldur, Baldur said Kratos could have walk away and leave him to kill Freya, Kratos didn't walk away; but with Heimdall, Kratos was sparing him, he did want to walk away, but Heimdall's ego was too fragile to let Kratos walk away hence he said "you think you get to just walk away?" It was interesting that these 2 scenes happens nearly at the end of each game and how the way they play out mirrors each other.

@@saunshilu damn I would really like it if the devs made Kratos rub it in for him even more, one thing about ego is: the bigger it is the more fragile it becomes, it is also remarkably amusing to watch it shatter
My thing with heimdall that I don’t understand is that he’s able to read people very well. Why doesn’t he see that Odin is no good? Like yea he’s a cocky asshole but he seems to care, he’s genuinely concerned about Atreus and his intentions. Why doesn’t he see that Odin is anything more than a tyrant who ordered one of his brothers to commit genocide and that Odin only cares about himself and is willing to sacrifice him and everyone else to get what he wants
I have a few ideas with some examples but will be a bit lengthy to explain, it is entirely my opinion so feel free to bring up your own, I would love to discuss about it. So meanwhile, do hear me out: I think the reason for Heimdall to not being able to see Odin for who he truly is, is because of their similarities in personal biases and truly twisted, warped sense of reality and self. We can see that Odin is a liar, and I believe that not only is he a liar but he believes in his own lies, and even believes in the lies he tells to himself about himself too. There was a particular conversation Atreus had with Mimir, when he asked Mimir about Odin's missing eye story being different to the one Mimir told before, and questioned why Odin would lie about such a personal thing when he really had no reason to do so. Mimir explained that the one thing about liars is... they lie, they lie about everything big or small regardless, just so they can assert their warped sense of view over reality, which to me suggests that Odin is a manipulative, delusional narcissist and a pathological liar. Odin has told so many lies to other people and to himself to the point that he can't tell which one is lies anymore, so he chosen to make them all truths to himself as part of his innate character, it doesn't matter if his logic is twisted or contradictory, as long as it benefit his agenda. Two small but effective examples to indicate his mindset very earlier on is when we first met Odin in Kratos and Atreus's house, Odin said "dying is what we Aesirs live for", he said that while trying his damndest in the entirety of the game avoiding death. Mimir even say in the same instance that if Odin tells you snow is white, he is lying; Odin's character is drenched in lies and deceit that every word coming out of his mouth is a lie. What solidified Odin being so convinced by his own twisted lies to me boils down to the tragic and short-lived existence of Thor. Thor is the epitome how deep Odin's lies goes, the amount of physical, mental and emotional abuse Thor suffered under Odin, devoid of any love, affection and empathy, reduce the powerful god of thunder to an empty, broken shell of a man. Everything a parent should never do, Odin has done to Thor, even as far as murdering him, his own son, in ice cold blood, for realizing and rejecting his lies and manipulation. Odin then absurdly blamed everyone else for him killing Thor with his own hands, as if he is forced to kill his own son with no other choice. He is so deeply convinced that whatever atrocities he committed is never his fault and that his conscience is pure, free of any wrong-doing, but as soon as the pawns in his selfish games saw him for who he truly is, he felt his authority challenged and his jig is up so he get rid of them with absolutely zero empathy. Another detail is the Aesir gods has some things in common across the board which Mimir has pointed out time and time again, is that they have a literally god complex and a warped sense of self, they think they are the superior race and better than everyone else, and every single one of them, aside from perhaps Týr, is selfish and has inflated egos which we can see quite clearly in the game. To the Aesirs, what they do or believe in is superior and without question, so the potential for overly grandiose perception of oneself or their self-inflated belief system is undoubtedly present; this is very consistent with Heimdall's character, how he see himself and the way he treats others. However that belief is eventually shattered and destroyed when we can see in the video that Kratos is able to land multiple hits on Heimdall as well as outsmart him in terms of combat (game mechanics), despite his gift of foresight, which to me suggests that Heimdall's foresight is not as great or as absolute as he "believe" or "think" it is, while also implies that the Aesir's ideology and self-inflated belief is purely based on exaggerated lies that Odin has fed to them and himself over millennia. When Atreus arrived in Asgard and Heimdall wanted to kill him, Odin himself even points out while talking to Atreus that Heimdall is very perceptive but he forgets to think, this small detail to me makes Heimdall a rather... shortsighted individual and easy for Odin to manipulate or persuade. Heimdall also becomes flustered and sloppy with more reckless and less strategic attacks during 2nd phase of the his boss fight, after Kratos stoically humiliated his foresight gimmick and shattered his warped perception of himself; he is unable to comprehend this newfound paradigm shift and responded with a now broken sense of identity, one full of denial, anger and confusion. I think Odin's flawed logic of truly believing in his own lies coupled with Heimdall's superiority/god complex is the reason why Heimdall is blind to Odin's true self. His vision or idea of Odin is warped due to their self-fed lies, while also feeding off of each other warped beliefs to benefit themselves, their agenda, their way of thinking, how they view the world. Odin's warped sense of reality managed to influence how Heimdall see the truth in a biased way, if not the same as Odin. It is like an echo chamber. Another snippet of detail to suggest why I think this is the case is because of the Norns. They explained that in ones journey to avoid or prevent fate, they inadvertently fulfilled its prophecy. For example: Freya's good motherly intention of preventing Baldur's death inadvertently caused him to die anyway. How I understand this particular detail in relation to the previous ideas I mentioned is because people, even gods, are flawed and failed to understand or interpret information objectively due to personal biases and beliefs. Their misconstrued understanding of information is resulted by their own biases, which can also be influenced by someone or something else in the process. These personal biases and influences warped their sense of reality, leading them to do/think in a biased way. For example: Freya believed she could save Baldur. Sindri believed he doesn't have to tell Brock what happened to him so it would protect him. Atreus believed Týr is the champion and the key to save all the realms. Kratos believed keeping Atreus close to him, will protect the boy from going to war. Mimir believed freeing the Lyngbakr will make things right. Thor believed his true nature is a mindless killer and he cannot change. Odin believed he can prevent Ragnarok and his death. Heimdall believed the Aesir is superior and the All-father to be infallible. Everything terrible that ever happened in the game is because of someone being so fixated on what they believed in, which in turn led them to down a path of destructive self-fulfilling prophecy because they cannot see beyond their own biases. I can go on and on but everyone believes in something/someone and to them that is the ultimate truth. I also use the term "Truth" here very loosely because everyone is inherently bias and that biasness is what is "Truth" to them. Which funnily enough, this whole explanation I just gave you is what I believe in and is in a way, true and bias to me. But I won't be an asshole and try and convince anyone of it, you are free to interpret it however you want or just jot it down as plot hole. Whatever answers that you see true is truly the answer for you. TLDR: Pretentiously bias explanation of Odin and Heimdall fucking their brains out in an echo chamber and everyone else watch with delight and joy, fulfilling Ragnarok's prophecy. Sorry if this is very long, if you do read it, hope you had some fun. Edit: lots of edits.
@@ginkyo I really enjoyed reading all that Ann and you are correct in your assessment I believe. Another simple explanation could be that Odin is able to prevent Heimdall’s ability from working on him because he’s Odin I guess lol but I prefer to think it’s probably more along the lines of what you explained
This is highly satisfactory, honestly. From the word go seeing every combo, All the way to the end. It's just phenomenal. It's a master piece in it's own making
The worst thing about is that he can actually back it up because, that weapon was actually mandatory to beat him. If Kratos did not have that weapon Kratos would have to think, of something really clever to him to even touch him.
@@elviraweekes3906 Kratos could one tap every god in the norse patheon minus thor, and odin. If bloodlusted he definitely does. Hermes in terms of speed>>>>Heimdall kratos does not need that weapon, nor did he need ragnarok to finish ragnarok. Just like every single enemy in the new god of war saga, he ALWAYS Holds back. He even admits to killing gods far greater then heimdall. Kratos speed >>> heimdalls speed btw.
Heimdall deserved that smackdown in the end Nobody threatens Atreus and gets away with it, not even Odin could Kratos nearly gave in to his rage, Heimdall's face could've been unrecognizable at that point if not for Mimir
Krazy how he’s the only parent that can do something about their child…. Plot be stupid! Frigg was just like you know what it’s okay even though it’s my fault kinda Odins fault really yours but let’s blame Odin…
There's been a few people already uploading No-Hit GMGOW Boss Fights that look epic and they've done it at a fast pace. I always find myself counting the hours till your next upload because in comparison you are easily the most stylish GoW player on all of YT. If the previous game gave us 4 years of epic content *that got even better after you once stated you didn't know what else to do since you had alrwady done it all* (I mean just look at those random encounters, the lvl 1 videos, the trolls and travelers videos as well as the weapon specific videos!!), I can only imagine how much this game is going to give us from SmvR. I mean the possibilities with the spear alone are endless for someone with your combat creativity. I can't wait for you to do all the bosses cuz it is AFTER that and the hopeful release of NG+ that I espect you to hit the next level of insanity with these just like you did with the previous entry. Keep it up my friend. edit: and once you've fully experimented with all equipment and different builds?!!!🤯
look up game breaker god as well, him and SMVR had the best videos for 2018 Gow, and now there both doing it again, I watch there vids and get hyped to play GMGOW mode and then get clapped
Here is what I think: When heimdall called Kratos a monster it was because he saw the way Kratos killed the Greek Gods in Kratos' mind since I'm sure Kratos was remembering his past kills.
I had just noticed when Thor threatened to kill Heimdall when he was defending Atreus, Heimdall says "you are a sick man" after asking how he intends to stop him so that probably means Thor was gonna shove the hammer up his a**hole or something
Actually, he saw that Kratos was trying to be a better person, running away from his past self, who he recognizes now as a monster. It was the way of Heimdall to say that Kratos was failing, that a monster is who he is
Best part? The actual look of destitute fear in his eyes as he looked upon kratos when kratos was choking him to death. Kratos inspires a level of fear that even Thor & Odin put together lack.
And what he was planning on doing to him “after” the fight with Kratos. (As if that worthless arrogant little shit was ever going to survive a fighting Kratos)
He always catches the spear on the first phase of Kratos trying to do the math on fast he needs to be to beat Heimdall's precog abilities. After that, you have to bait him into kratos spears, so that he can keep doing the math.
Excellent display of how most of us think very much inside the box with the impale the ground move and wait for him to walk into the detonation, versus trying to throw it at his feet or whatever. Quality gow gameplay, per usual.
I love the fact even in hardest difficulty Heimdall are still has lesser Health than most story boss in this game. truly efficient way to tell the Player if Heimdall didn't really has good strenght or endurance. he only has speed and mind reading power without that he was nothing more than a damn pathetic bully
The 1st video I watched from you for the new GOW Ragnarok and just like previous game, you didn’t disappoint me at all. I beat the game on the give me a challenge level and I died once in fighting Heimdall. U didn’t even get a scratch on gmgow level and you made it look so easy. You still is the best GOW player I ever see. I can’t wait to watch you cheese the twin berserker in the mines. Thanks for always giving me the pleasure to watch you play flawlessly.
Did Heimdall call Freya Queen mistletoe because he read her mind in Asgard and knew the way to break Baldur's curse was with mistletoe? But rather than help him he watched him go mad from the spell? If so that makes his death even more satisfying Thanks for the video
Heimdall: You.. actually hit me! Kratos who is already stabbing his legs at 3:12: Bruh Edit: Also there's really something satisfying with how Kratos in the gameplay would just calmly walk and weave through attacks like how Heimdall does it, talk about a taste of Heimdall's own medicine
I love how they made all the characters in this game. Heimdall being an all seeing douche, Odin being an all knowing douche, and Thor being an overweight drunken badass.
The title says it all. I always feel like Heimdall deserves karma for humiliating Atreus. That death was paid brutal, but kinda satisfying since we don't have to see that smug face of his again.
I've watched many kratos vs heimdall videos, but yours is the best. Your fighting style is awesome! I could see the many technique and moves that combined together, i see some patience to find the right timing, and also finding the best move to counter. Only in your videos I hear heimdall struggles so bad like this 😂
this gameplay makes Kratos all the more badass than he already is. Instead of a player, he is now an unstoppable murder machine, a force of nature. Heimdall never stood a chance.
Wow, first gameplay that I watched that didn't just used the sear, but all of Kratos' arsenal...fine fighting skills... Plus the way Kratos bashed Heimdall's head to the pavement shows that he went a bit GOW 3 Kratos for a few seconds..
I saw this mentioned in another video about this fight: if you look closely, during the third exchange of punches, Kratos grabs Heimdall's arm to hold him in place.
Kratos: shows mercy as he's no longer a monster Heimdalr: YoU dOn'T gEt To DeCiDe mY fAtE Kratos: kills him Heimdalr:(chose suicide rather than accept loss) monster tried to make feel that Kratos was going back to old ways, literally gave the boy an out but when it came down to it putting a rabid dog down is better than letting it rampage
The best part is Mimir telling Kratos to calm down and him after hearing so much about Kratos he finally witnesses the horror and the wraith of the Ghost Of Sparta, the God Of War and the Destroyer of his Pantheon. I do feel like Heimdal should have had a much more gruesome death especially with how the scene played out and Mimirs reactions. I kinda wished Kratos had just gone full Hercules on Heimdal so that Mimir can truly know what Kratos was like before.
Someone commented on my post yesterday praising SMVR on this video. He said that Ongbal is better. I know that we all have our favourites as you clearly stated. I watched Ongbal video fighting Heimdall and he is also good but I must point out why I think, SMVR is better. If you watched closely, SMVR doesn’t even moved at all when Heimdall is far. He shoot the spear on the ground and just repositioned himself waiting for Heimdall to approach him and then activate the spear to explode and stunned him then attacking him. For me, that what set SMVR far from others. By doing that, he showed more confidence and knows exactly what he is doing. While Ongbal kept moving around so much. Don’t get me wrong. Ongbal is good as well but I like SMVR style better. The other one I enjoy watching is GMGOW. He is bad ass like SMVR as well.
I'm very confused by Mimir in this section of the game. The group came to a agreement that Heimdall needs to die yet when Kratos is doing the deed he tells him "This isn't who you want to be", yeah no duh Mimir but you saw where sparing him left us. Kratos is completely justified.
Can you make a cinematic version of this fight? Somewhere inbetween Kratos making Heimdall look like a joke and Kratos almost completely struggling against him
Also it's crazy that at 3:13 you fucking hit the guy before it's even possible/allowed in the game, lol I mean that alone makes it my favorite Heimdall fight on YT right now.
Kratos should have disrespected him further by taking both of his bracers just like he took Hermes's jordans in gow3 But anyways great gameplay and 7:12 was a sick moment
"You strike like a sloppy cow!"

How I understand this particular detail in relation to the previous ideas I mentioned is because people, even gods, are flawed and failed to understand or interpret information objectively due to personal biases and beliefs. Their misconstrued understanding of information is resulted by their own biases, which can also be influenced by someone or something else in the process. These personal biases and influences warped their sense of reality, leading them to do/think in a biased way. For example:
Freya believed she could save Baldur.
Sindri believed he doesn't have to tell Brock what happened to him so it would protect him.
Atreus believed Týr is the champion and the key to save all the realms.
Kratos believed keeping Atreus close to him, will protect the boy from going to war.
Mimir believed freeing the Lyngbakr will make things right.
Thor believed his true nature is a mindless killer and he cannot change.
Odin believed he can prevent Ragnarok and his death.
Heimdall believed the Aesir is superior and the All-father to be infallible.
Everything terrible that ever happened in the game is because of someone being so fixated on what they believed in, which in turn led them to down a path of destructive self-fulfilling prophecy because they cannot see beyond their own biases.
I can go on and on but everyone believes in something/someone and to them that is the ultimate truth. I also use the term "Truth" here very loosely because everyone is inherently bias and that biasness is what is "Truth" to them. Which funnily enough, this whole explanation I just gave you is what I believe in and is in a way, true and bias to me. But I won't be an asshole and try and convince anyone of it, you are free to interpret it however you want or just jot it down as plot hole. Whatever answers that you see true is truly the answer for you.
TLDR: Pretentiously bias explanation of Odin and Heimdall fucking their brains out in an echo chamber and everyone else watch with delight and joy, fulfilling Ragnarok's prophecy.
Sorry if this is very long, if you do read it, hope you had some fun.
Edit: lots of edits.
@@ginkyo I really enjoyed reading all that Ann and you are correct in your assessment I believe. Another simple explanation could be that Odin is able to prevent Heimdall’s ability from working on him because he’s Odin I guess lol but I prefer to think it’s probably more along the lines of what you explained
This is highly satisfactory, honestly. From the word go seeing every combo, All the way to the end. It's just phenomenal. It's a master piece in it's own making
Reminds me of how cocky Hermes was in GOW 3. These gods never learn till it’s too late 😂
The worst thing about is that he can actually back it up because, that weapon was actually mandatory to beat him. If Kratos did not have that weapon Kratos would have to think, of something really clever to him to even touch him.
@@elviraweekes3906 Why was it that way?
@@elviraweekes3906 You are saying this, but someone will post a video if not now but later of defeating Heimdall without the spear
@@amanjanko3950 Lol. Facts. The whole point of Kratos is that he's a tactician and skilled warrior.
@@elviraweekes3906 Kratos could one tap every god in the norse patheon minus thor, and odin. If bloodlusted he definitely does.
Hermes in terms of speed>>>>Heimdall
kratos does not need that weapon, nor did he need ragnarok to finish ragnarok. Just like every single enemy in the new god of war saga, he ALWAYS Holds back. He even admits to killing gods far greater then heimdall.
Kratos speed >>> heimdalls speed btw.
Heimdall deserved that smackdown in the end
Nobody threatens Atreus and gets away with it, not even Odin could
Kratos nearly gave in to his rage, Heimdall's face could've been unrecognizable at that point if not for Mimir
He nearly got the Hercules treatment.
@@brahmantyoihsan5938 how about helios treatment ha
Helios treatment much better
Krazy how he’s the only parent that can do something about their child…. Plot be stupid! Frigg was just like you know what it’s okay even though it’s my fault kinda Odins fault really yours but let’s blame Odin…
Heimdall's cockiness reminds of Hermes.
Very nice my friend - he deserved it!
Yes.. beat that loud mouth
You are the best and my fav gmgow
He is no human....
Yeah he actually brother
Broo He Play like a alien... i wish i could think Like He Plays
Bruh the combo at 3:55 🔥🔥🔥
Bruh got into his bag at the point!
There's been a few people already uploading No-Hit GMGOW Boss Fights that look epic and they've done it at a fast pace. I always find myself counting the hours till your next upload because in comparison you are easily the most stylish GoW player on all of YT.
If the previous game gave us 4 years of epic content *that got even better after you once stated you didn't know what else to do since you had alrwady done it all* (I mean just look at those random encounters, the lvl 1 videos, the trolls and travelers videos as well as the weapon specific videos!!), I can only imagine how much this game is going to give us from SmvR. I mean the possibilities with the spear alone are endless for someone with your combat creativity. I can't wait for you to do all the bosses cuz it is AFTER that and the hopeful release of NG+ that I espect you to hit the next level of insanity with these just like you did with the previous entry.
Keep it up my friend.
edit: and once you've fully experimented with all equipment and different builds?!!!🤯
look up game breaker god as well, him and SMVR had the best videos for 2018 Gow, and now there both doing it again, I watch there vids and get hyped to play GMGOW mode and then get clapped
@@benfarr6049 😂
Agreed even in the Devi May Cry series this dude a beast 😊
Here is what I think: When heimdall called Kratos a monster it was because he saw the way Kratos killed the Greek Gods in Kratos' mind since I'm sure Kratos was remembering his past kills.
Makes sense
I had just noticed when Thor threatened to kill Heimdall when he was defending Atreus, Heimdall says "you are a sick man" after asking how he intends to stop him so that probably means Thor was gonna shove the hammer up his a**hole or something
Actually, he saw that Kratos was trying to be a better person, running away from his past self, who he recognizes now as a monster. It was the way of Heimdall to say that Kratos was failing, that a monster is who he is
True. and he got pissed on being spared, he read that Kratos intends to deny fate. That is why he said "You don't get to decide my fate!"
Love this theory!
Best part? The actual look of destitute fear in his eyes as he looked upon kratos when kratos was choking him to death. Kratos inspires a level of fear that even Thor & Odin put together lack.
3:12 Holy damn, you hit him before it was possible.
I've noticed it, and I was like "hmm.., interesting."
Heimdall : "One of us is walking away form this. And it sure as shit will not be you!"
*Dies*
Seeing heimdall getting bullied by kratos is so fun considering what he did to Atreus.
And what he was planning on doing to him “after” the fight with Kratos.
(As if that worthless arrogant little shit was ever going to survive a fighting Kratos)
God of Bullies
He’s right you know, Kratos doesn’t decide anyone’s fate anymore. Heimdall sealed his own fate, Kratos just sped it up.
Watching him get demolished without standing a chance was *IMMENSELY SATISFYING*

"You actually hit me"
as he casually has a draupnir spear in his thigh
I never even knew he caught the spear. You made this fight extremely satisfying. Keep up the vids.
He always catches the spear on the first phase of Kratos trying to do the math on fast he needs to be to beat Heimdall's precog abilities. After that, you have to bait him into kratos spears, so that he can keep doing the math.
Excellent display of how most of us think very much inside the box with the impale the ground move and wait for him to walk into the detonation, versus trying to throw it at his feet or whatever.
Quality gow gameplay, per usual.
When heimdall throws sand to kratos eyes and kratos just ends him with that combo. That combo is so freaking mad.
I was just thinking the same thing lmao that three piece directly after the sand is so fast you barely see it 🤣
The double fist punch is so brutal it almost wraps back around to being funny, like jesus CHRIST Kratos
Heimdal: “you are in way over your head.”
Smvr: proceeds to hit him with an overhead attack
I lol’d
I love the fact even in hardest difficulty Heimdall are still has lesser Health than most story boss in this game. truly efficient way to tell the Player if Heimdall didn't really has good strenght or endurance. he only has speed and mind reading power without that he was nothing more than a damn pathetic bully
You actually hit me. He already did 3:13
He did! I just realize SMVR beat the script
@@fernald2201 ikr lol i mean wtf man the games been out for like 10 days and SmvR is up to no good disrespecting enemies already hahahaha

The 1st video I watched from you for the new GOW Ragnarok and just like previous game, you didn’t disappoint me at all. I beat the game on the give me a challenge level and I died once in fighting Heimdall. U didn’t even get a scratch on gmgow level and you made it look so easy. You still is the best GOW player I ever see. I can’t wait to watch you cheese the twin berserker in the mines. Thanks for always giving me the pleasure to watch you play flawlessly.
Thanks Albert
"Pain isn't as bad as I remember..." - well that's lucky for you Heimdall
Did Heimdall call Freya Queen mistletoe because he read her mind in Asgard and knew the way to break Baldur's curse was with mistletoe?
But rather than help him he watched him go mad from the spell? If so that makes his death even more satisfying
Thanks for the video
Probably was ordered by Odin to hide the truth to keep Baldur invulnerable despite the fact it drove him mad. Plus Heimdall is a colossal ass.
@@thehandsomeone8369 broo that makes so much sense, definitely in line with odins character
Wait so odin knew about mistletoe? That is nasty.
@@williamgarcilazo33 of course he did lol its his son and he has spies everywhere, and his main guy can read minds
@@buddharocks492 I guess it benefited him more of Baldur was always drugged up.
Heimdalls death is definitely the closest we’ve gotten to having the old kratos back

Well, the spartan commander brutalized the cocky bridge guard of asgard.
3:56 “Armor fit for a god.”
Kratos: “What armor?”
I like how Heimdall still keeps talking shit when he couldn't even damage Kratos who's a bigger target than him.
It cannot be overstated how immensely satisfying this is
Heimdall : You can't hit me
Also Heimdall
Heimdall : You actually hit me!!
The most satisfying feeling ever

Heimdouche was by far the most annoying character in the game, so this was ridiculously satisfying to watch.
Thank you, good sir
Oh yes HeimDOLT was nothing but a worthless arrogant little shit who couldn’t handle the fact that wasn’t the highest thing of the god food chain.
This.....does bring a smile to my face.
The transition between weapons and the combos.
Wow... This is art!
Heimdall: You.. actually hit me!
Kratos who is already stabbing his legs at 3:12: Bruh
Edit: Also there's really something satisfying with how Kratos in the gameplay would just calmly walk and weave through attacks like how Heimdall does it, talk about a taste of Heimdall's own medicine
Return of the true combo master:mr smvr..a huge thanks for your amazing videos.can't wait to see your runic cancel combos👍🏻
This was very satisfying to watch. Thank you.
Bro, how did you manage to hit him before the cutscene with the punch? That’s honestly incredible.
He transcendent the realm of God's with his skill
Damn, this guy is good. Swaps between weapons and hits Heimdall so smoothly. Most people just maintain with the spear.
I love how they made all the characters in this game. Heimdall being an all seeing douche, Odin being an all knowing douche, and Thor being an overweight drunken badass.
Mimir: Come on, brother! You can do it! You just need to find an opening!

The title says it all.
I always feel like Heimdall deserves karma for humiliating Atreus.
That death was paid brutal, but kinda satisfying since we don't have to see that smug face of his again.
I've watched many kratos vs heimdall videos, but yours is the best. Your fighting style is awesome! I could see the many technique and moves that combined together, i see some patience to find the right timing, and also finding the best move to counter. Only in your videos I hear heimdall struggles so bad like this 😂
This really was a visually amazing fight with the realm shifts.
Mimir : i don't know if we're breaking fate or fate will breaking us.
Kratos : fuck fate... how many times i break my fate self
Heimdal: Hasn’t been hit in over a century.
Also Heimdal: Receives the ass-whooping of a century.
Heimdall: I'm untouchable! No one can ever defeat me!
Kratos: Hold my olives.

"Whatever his advantages, I will overwhelm him with my own"
Kratos had no choice, when Heimdall said his going to kill Atreus, sealed his fate, he had to die.
"Dont you know who i am? I am the watchmen of the aesir the herald of ragnarok!"
"I am the death of greek pantheon"
He stood no chance at all.
Mimir: "this isnt who you want to be!"
Payer: "This is who i like you to be sometimes".
Cool attention to detail: heimdall puts his arm up to block freyas arrow before she even shoots it.

Wow, first gameplay that I watched that didn't just used the sear, but all of Kratos' arsenal...fine fighting skills...
Plus the way Kratos bashed Heimdall's head to the pavement shows that he went a bit GOW 3 Kratos for a few seconds..
8:15 The truly face of the God of War
0:53 lol i love this part. Heimdall was probably like "damn he got me there". Dude knows it's true.
your flawless fight is truly impressive ! outsmart the bully every moves. great work !
you've made Kratos became God of Parry and i-frame as well.
I saw this mentioned in another video about this fight: if you look closely, during the third exchange of punches, Kratos grabs Heimdall's arm to hold him in place.

Kratos: shows mercy as he's no longer a monster

Kratos: kills him
Heimdalr:(chose suicide rather than accept loss) monster
tried to make feel that Kratos was going back to old ways, literally gave the boy an out but when it came down to it putting a rabid dog down is better than letting it rampage
Heimdall: my input reading is canon
Kratos: I’m still the player character
I felt the vibes of GOW 3 Kratos in this fight.
Heimdall : Monster...
Be glad you meet this kind of monster Heimdall. You dont want kind of monster in previous pantheon.

As always SmvR you keep impressing us. You didn't even give him a change to fight back
The best part is Mimir telling Kratos to calm down and him after hearing so much about Kratos he finally witnesses the horror and the wraith of the Ghost Of Sparta, the God Of War and the Destroyer of his Pantheon.
I do feel like Heimdal should have had a much more gruesome death especially with how the scene played out and Mimirs reactions.
I kinda wished Kratos had just gone full Hercules on Heimdal so that Mimir can truly know what Kratos was like before.
Oh man, I've been waiting for this, this fight fucked me for two days straight - Should do the Berserkers next, the King is ruthless
Someone commented on my post yesterday praising SMVR on this video. He said that Ongbal is better. I know that we all have our favourites as you clearly stated. I watched Ongbal video fighting Heimdall and he is also good but I must point out why I think, SMVR is better. If you watched closely, SMVR doesn’t even moved at all when Heimdall is far. He shoot the spear on the ground and just repositioned himself waiting for Heimdall to approach him and then activate the spear to explode and stunned him then attacking him. For me, that what set SMVR far from others. By doing that, he showed more confidence and knows exactly what he is doing. While Ongbal kept moving around so much. Don’t get me wrong. Ongbal is good as well but I like SMVR style better. The other one I enjoy watching is GMGOW. He is bad ass like SMVR as well.

It's good thing that Heimdall doesn't have any Golden Jordans. Otherwise, he would've had the Hermes Deluxe Special.
💀💀
5:54 I dont know about you, but i'm hearing good ol' Rage of Sparta right now.
As I was fighting him I remember saying “oh i cant wait till SmvR beats the absolute shit outta you”
5:46 Damn, so losing an arm is literally a final warning from Kratos.
3:10 This guy is so good he embedded Heimdall with not one, but TWO SPEARS, before he became vulnerable
Poor Heimdall ... Died without touching his opponent, such a sad ending for a legend ⚰️.
Ironic, no one could hit him, yet in the end, he died never hitting his opponent once.
Heimdall: "you fight like a sloppy cow"

Rare footage of Kratos fighting Reincarnated Hermes: colourised
I'm very confused by Mimir in this section of the game. The group came to a agreement that Heimdall needs to die yet when Kratos is doing the deed he tells him "This isn't who you want to be", yeah no duh Mimir but you saw where sparing him left us. Kratos is completely justified.
Mimir just don't want that Prophecy that's all.
It's not his fault either too.
I watch it every day to get my daily dose.
you must’ve had so much fun bullying Heimdall
Can you make a cinematic version of this fight? Somewhere inbetween Kratos making Heimdall look like a joke and Kratos almost completely struggling against him
Also it's crazy that at 3:13 you fucking hit the guy before it's even possible/allowed in the game, lol I mean that alone makes it my favorite Heimdall fight on YT right now.
Kratos actually decided to grab Heimdall's arm before he hit him the first time
Didn't knew that until I watched it carefully

Kratos should have disrespected him further by taking both of his bracers just like he took Hermes's jordans in gow3
But anyways great gameplay and 7:12 was a sick moment
Watching Heimdall getting manhandled like this is so satisfying to watch.
