      He could also be going to Japanese or Mayan mythology due to the whole shape shifting mages and beasts both mythologies have going for themselves (Naguales in the new world, Kami and Youkai in Japan). Which fits with Loki's own struggle with having a godhood from which he can learn from no one (Jotun are 99.9% extinct), also both places didn't took kindly to strangers, specially pre-modern times Japan.
      Kratos was also implied to be Odr, Freya's husband in some Norse canons so if he is, then he will soon conceive 2 daughters with Freya, both named after jewels IRL due to their impossible beauty, but in-universe we know the reason.
      Atreus: "My father likes loot."
      Kratos: *Names both his daughters after both Norse words for jewels/riches*
      He can't help it.
      Also, if he has 2 daughters, one could go full Vanir mage while the other just goes full Spear/Spartan trainin, Vanir mage seems jungle like which fits better with Mayan and a Kratos-like harsh goddess could do better against the ruthlessness and stoicism of Egyptian deities.
      Kratos has a lot to do locally, especially with the Celtic mythos and all that BS Oberon did and left to rot in the wild near the 9 realms.

      Well, Mimir also confirmed that Arthurian Legend exists in the God Of War universe. In Ragnarok after getting the Draupnir Spear, Mimir mentions meeting Nimue, the Lady Of The Lake, and mentions that she is a master swordsmith. He also mentions Nimue was working on one very specific project/dream she had last time he saw her, which has me convinced that greatest project is Excalibur. And now that Mimir has confirmed the existence of Arthurian Legend in the God Of War universe, that has become the thing I want to see more than anything from a future God Of War game: Kratos fighting alongside King Arthur and the Round Table Knights.

    • @takerweapon1

      ​@@kevinnorwood8782Doubtful of that happening because this game seems to be a close on his story. Though I do see Atreus doing that in his spinoff series alongside Sigrun and Tyr. For those looking for future games with Kratos as the main protagonist I do expect remakes of the Greek Saga.

    For anybody still calling him "Puck", his name is only, and has always been "Robin Goodfellow". A puck is a anouther name for a fae or a sprite. I grew up with these plays, have bittrsweet memories of my aunt taking me to them. It's one of the many elements in this game that got my friend to convince me to play this on my days off/s.

    the one thing I noticed is that Mimir said he crushed the Flower with his bare hands, which is impossible since he had been without his body for a couple of years since Kratos freed him from the tree at the Midgard peak. so if necessary Valhalla can temporarly restore limbs or in Mimir's case his entire body, to help the individuals better themselves in the trail. so for the first time although briefly, mimir would have his body back and he would no longer be bound to odins tree.

    The flower petals he's referring to contain a dew, when absorbed into the eyes, that has the magical effect of making a victim fall helplessly in love with the first person they see.
    Whats notable about Mimirs experience is his dialogue explaining what he did with the pedals. In Shakespeare's story, the character using them is described as having "crushed" the petals. How does Mimir explain his valhalla scenario with Sigrid to Kratos? He said he "crushed those flowers" with his bare hands.
    Friends, I think it's safe to say Mimir chose to drug her in Valhalla. It makes sense considering how self aware he is about valhallas behavior. Their relationship is hindered in the real world. But, not in Valhalla, where he has a functional body in a fully immersive simulated fantasy.
