- Hello everyone and welcome to the first God of War video on this channel. After a long time of wanting to make this kind of content myself, I caved in and decided to give it a shot! I plan to improve as I go, but hopefully you guys will enjoy my full overview of the Valkyries within the lore of God of War.
The Valkyries in God of War are female warrior spirits who seemed to have been locked away and imprisoned in a physical form. But who were they and what was their responsibility? All that and more is explained in this video. Plus, what their potential role could be during Ragnarök!

"Upon peacefully releasing her from her physical form" - (proceeds to violently rip her wings off her back)
Now Gunnr being so enthusiastic about ripping Gná’s spine off makes more sense
Fun fact: Hildr is most likely also the valkyrie we see in the MCU, where she is called Brunnhilde
I love the banter between Kratos, Atreus and Mnimir ...."can I still blush" ....and Kratos response had me LMAO. Awesome Video
This was a banger of a video mate, really well made!
Thank you so much bro! Really looking forward to your retrospective on the game!
Is it just me or even Santa Monica ignores the fact that, even in their own canon, the Valkyries are more formidable adversaries than Odin and Thor. ? I felt like this wasn't shown enough in Ragnarok. I also feel like the fight with Freya as Vanadis should've been just as hard as Sigrun to keep up with canon 😐
Or maybe Kratos is so powerful that the Norse adversaries are slightly less difficult for him to defeat than they would be for anyone else.
It wouldn’t be fair to those who played raganarok as their first GoW game. The difficulty wouldn’t tally a standard game for casual players.
You could make the case that because these Valkraies and been put into this corrupted psychical form it makes then substantially more powerful
It wouldn’t be the first time God of War has confusing canon and story some of the prequel games in Greece really muddy the canon
it wouldn’t make sense game-wise to make the valkyries more “final bossy” than thor and odin though
All the artwork you used is fantastic
Make sure to check them all out respectively with the links in the description!!
Fun fact there is a scene for less than 3 seconds where gna kills gunnr in Ragnarök
Nah, she kills Olrun
well i thought gna killed hildr
This is such a good video! Thank you for making it 😍
This is a beautifully put together video- subbed within the first 2 minutes, was only thoroughly impressed after. Well done!!
I waited for when the actual video starts and the decoy ends and I'm surprised yet it is a great video
Thank you for this. I would really like to know about the new valkeryies
Hope you explained the Bersekers next. Even though there the Valkyrie version of GOW Ragnarok there Lore is someghing really interesting hope you cover it up soon.
This video was so amazing and I am so surprise of the things that I didn't knew about tge valkyries. That you explained.
Like there Designs and what they are based of and the details of there fighting skills it all made sense and connects to a lot. Thank u so much for elaborating the Valkyries more clearly.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to know that this video actually informs people about something they didn’t know yet about the Valkyries

No one expects the Dutch kid
He doesn't know what to expect 😎
Fab video mate ✌🏻
Thanks bro! Means a lot
Love the video dude i subbed with notis on cuz im really tryin to see more of your work. Keep it up
Great video Mario! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Spartan! Appreciate it
Thanks for the lore man 💜
Wonderful video, thank you for tying the mythology together with the game! It's great to learn about the source material :D
Thank you so much for the kind words! Knowing people get to learn more from both the GoW lore and Norse Myth by watching this video means a lot!
this video is too well made to have so little views
Thanks for the compliment!
Tremendous video. Subscribed 🤙🏾
Big Like for the video !! 👍
You put the information too easy to understand !! It’s educational and enjoyable
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you learned some new things
Odin is not the smartest. To stop ragnorok he corrupted the Valkyries, and… caused ragnorok
Odin’s plan didn’t take Kratos into account, didn’t it?
Sick video Mario
In God of war Ragnarok should have more Valkyries in asgard protecting Odin instead of just 3 of them it's not possible that there wasn't a group of Valkyries that would follow Odin's/ the Queen Gná orders and the other part of Freya/Frigg And ex queen Sigrun Very strange,it was supposed to have a maximum of 10 or more Valkyries in Asgard And yet 2 Creatures that are not in this game the mysterious wolf Horofiltner and the Kraken + the return of the dragons that we saved in the first game and they have connections with the dragon slayers Beowulf,Sigurd and Siegfried Very sad that it happened this way l Wanted to see a lot more news Valkyries with new names 🤔🥺😭 like and Bye!
Welcome aboard!
Thank you!

Super tuber Eddie sounding more Dutch than normal. You must have a cold or something.
I was hoping you would've involved Hyrst, Mist, and Gña from Ragnarok.
This video was made prior to the release of Ragnarök. I mention Hryst and Mist at the end of the video though
Oh, understood
You forgot to mention Sigurn's designa. And Are of what they are based of.
Off a dragon. And she was royalty in myth along w the games
her helmet kinda resembles the symbol of her homeland Fjoturlund.
This video has 12k views. I'm a 1000 😂
