Facts
@@edddiej8320 It's actually untrue statistically
How do you know that?🤔
😢
🎉😂 6:51
I hate Odin even more for doing this to Sindri. To see him reduced to an angry, grieving man is heartbreaking
@FUM3TO K33M Nope, sindri is all that matters lol. I hope he and Atreus can make it better
@@thegoldavenger.3829 it's so sad to see such a happy and positive character turn out like this, cant imagine what loss can do to a good man
@@thegoldavenger.3829 it’s more bittersweet ending. Happy for Kratos and others but sad for Sindri.
Fr i wanna beat up odin when i get the game
@@ThunderboltyX do it while record it
I love the detail of how before Brok's death, Sindri would always teleport when the camera was looking away from him, so it would appear like he just popped up. Now, he just teleports without caring about others seeing him do it. It really shows how broken he is.
Ahhh ok, I was wondering how tf sindri was disappearing.
@@Blackhaze-gm1yj i wonder how does he do that. is it a gadget? or pure magic or a combination of gadget and magic
@@74z9 well uh, the dwarves can travel between realms
@@satriaputradewangga9162 i know but how? magic gadget both of them
Not gadget, it's their ability
Damn, Odin managed to trick all of them, all except for that ONE loud mouth Blacksmith, Brok. That alone tells you how perceptive Brok is when it comes to details in his craftmanship.
the nature... not the form. this is so fucking ironic.
I mean Tyr's motive is not even clear for me he give up fighting and all of sudden he's wanna join and suspiciously take Loki mask. That's doubtful action for sure.
@Name Unknown to be fair, if he had been the real Tyr he might have still realised Fimbulwinter had arrived, and it was prophetised that Fimbulwinter would come after Baldur's death.
@Name Unknown remember the prophecy for Fimbulwinter says it will start when, "The Invulnerable God dies" or something like that. Because Fimbulwinter started, I think it's easy enough to comprehend
@Name Unknown i thought the subject is about how would real tyr know about death of baldur
We begin the journey in 2018 with a funeral, we end our journey in 2022 with yet another funeral. Sad but beautiful
Recognized that immediately when pushing the boat
Dang i never noticed that
We end The Journey at the highest peak, in the sky, and we end Ragnarök on the lowest peak, the ocean.
Wow did not catch that one
Goddammit, I never even though of this. Goddammit.
The fact Mimir solved Brok’s riddle after he died hurts me so much
That’s such a good and heartbreaking detail. Bravo Santa Monica.
Yep brok died knowing he out smarted the smartest man alive
I think he knew it all along, but didnt tell him, because he wanted to let him have his moment
@@michaelscofield7503nahhh heavily disagree
The very worst part of this is that you know he will be alone after this cause he will choose to be alone, and no one can stop him because no can find him.
or he took his life like kratos tried so many times
@@reddawn1873 too grim for sindri but at this point everything is possibly
we need a sindri falling meme
Kratos could find him if he needed too and probably will (or Atreus)
@@Master_Yoda66 It's kind of likely a trace because there are or were giants in Egypt
I could not hold back the tears for Brok's funeral. When he was initially killed, it was just more baffling and shocking than anything. But you really start to process how great of a character Brok is when you attend his funeral.
At the forge in Tyrs temple AFTER had me in tears.
Lil cry babys
@@shayhunt6093 lol get out of here with all that
@@jcoolguy1548 have a cry kid
@@shayhunt6093 I'm not a kid bro
Sindri got absolutely bullied in this game. Atreus didn’t value his friendship enough, even knocking him out of the way in bear form. He repeatedly got put in situations he didn’t want to be in. He built a house for everyone and no one truly appreciated it. Then his brother gets stabbed by the god they all hate. No wonder he’s a shell of his former self.
You can say it’s Atreus fault. But you can’t predict outcome. Do Atreus want this to happen ? No, but it was irrelevant. Besides, Atreus did helped Brok and Sindri unite together from God of War 2018. Without him, their bond would never be the same. Without Brok help to forge Kratos a new weapon to defeat Hendmell, he would have kill Atreus. And without Brok exposing Odin disguised as Tyr, the whole group would be imprisoned or dead. Doing right thing isn’t easy answer. It’s very complicated. Like i said, we can’t predict the outcome no matter how hard to try to avoid it.
@@tranvinhnhat1289 Well said, brother
He needs time, if Freya can learn to work with Kratos then Sindri will forgive Atreus one day. In the end like everything that happened in Olympus was Zeus' fault everything that happened here was Odin's, he'll realize that soon enough
@@nikkimiddlekillsday5161 freya knew Odin was at fault since before but pinning the blame was easier, sindri is freshly wounded his rage is erratic, he killed Odin but his death can’t bring back Brok. Look at kratos for example; after having killed ALL of the Greek gods did he feel better? Not exactly, their deaths were his journey but his family was the destination
@@dannyyoroi1955 totally agree
Everyone talking about how amazing the story is and how emotional this was but let's not forget, the music especially in this cutscene is phenomenal. Really compliments everything so perfectly
You’re right bro. Honestly the music is so beautiful it’s the reason I felt so much emotion in this game. Especially this scene
And to add to that, the dwarf that sits down on a rock, and starts playing the The hurdy-gurdy @ 5:08 is actually the composer for all of the music in the game. Santa Monica gave him a MoCap character.
@@Goldscare
The dwarfs name is 'Raeb' too, which is backwards for Bear, as in Bear Mcreary
Exactly!
When the music kicked in is when I started crying
It hurt to see Sindri covered in dirt and grime whenever you saw him after Brok's death. He was always so fearful and self-conscious about himself and small things, but he's just an absolute wreck physically and emotionally by the end. He just...doesn't care anymore. I didn't expect him to be the emotional focus of the ending, but it was the most impactful of all.
He will be healed in time. His behaviour is normal for someone who had just lost someone he loved all too well.
His armor on his chest is actually broks dried blood
You can also notice that his gloves are specifically missing from his armor.
He changed his forging style to be like Brok. He feels the metal with his hands, swings his hammer with more force, and doesn’t worry about cleanliness anymore. It’s a way to honor his memory.
@th3ra83 Some people never get over it. However, it would be a good side story to see him overcome his grief.
Before I finished the game I was wondering what the answer to Broks riddle was and even thought it was a dropped plot point, then this scene happened and I had to pause my screen out of disbelief. Absolutely fucking masterful writing
Same. I haven’t been that impressed with writing in a long time. To delay the payoff to that riddle for literally hours of in-game time in an optional epilogue is just awesome.
What was his riddle?
@@debatingontheoreos8981 What gets bigger the more you take away. The answer? A hole.
I feel bad for the People who didn’t pay attention to the riddle and were just confused at the funeral
@@moe9451 look at my comment
I could see by how Sindri looked at Kratos he wants to blame him. However he deep down knows it was not his fault so he held whatever he was going to say. Damn. Every time Kratos finds a friend something happens to them.
Or wife
They were all hurting but the ones that was hurting the most was sindri,atreus,kratos and mimir they were a family as atreus did call both brok and sindri his uncles. Plus the fact that sindri and kratos are the ones to set a float brok boat.
Well he still has Mimir.
I see it as Sindri blames Atreus more as he was the one who wanted to find Tyr and who brought him to his home
@@nnightkingj Yeah, I think even if he did somehow forgive Atreus, he will never be friends with him again but even that's expecting too much from him.
Man...Brok had the most sensitive bullshit detector in that entire game. It sucks he got killed off but it made perfect sense.
even mimir the smartest man doesnt have that bullsh¡t detector. also it took mimir to solve the riddle's answer "hole" after brok's funeral. also he was the one who found a way to heimdall's weakness overpopulate his senses with draupneir's spear. damn he was one hella smart guy.
@@74z9 Mimir (and others) idolized Tyr too much while Brok is practical and direct
@@cloneclone5341 right
Brok saw the nature of Tyr not it’s form and so was able to see past the illusion when no-one else could
@@2ethefirst318 so true
The moment at 8:00 speaks volumes. He wants someone to blame, but he can't. He wants to blame Atreus for the cause of all these events but he knew fate has everything planned, they mention it time and time again, those who seek to avoid it, will eventually fulfill what was written. Brokks fate came to pass at the accident at the forge, but Sindri tried to defy fate and revive him. He wishes to hate on Kratos and everyone but they brought him the justice he deserved with Odin. This was a trap for Sindri, he would either lose Brokk to fate, or if Ragnarok had not come to pass, would lose him either way. The one major detail being someone who was a clean freak, who wore gloves for everything he touched, no longer wears his gloves, and neither does he care what anyone thinks anymore. Brokk wants him to be free, but Sindri has never known a world without him.
he doesn’t want to blame, he already does blame them, he just doesn’t care anymore and just wants to be alone, the whole game is about how fate shouldn’t defy your choices, Kratos killed Heimdall to keep Atreus safe and not because of the prophecy, prophecy also said that it was Tyr that would them against Odin, we know how that went, also in giant panels in Jotunheim it was prophesied that Kratos would die and Atreus goes to Odin, though technically that happened since Thor killed and revived him, hell even at the end you get the Fate Breaker armor, fate didn’t kill Brok, Odin did, also Sindri wore the gloves and was germphobic because of the souls that was dragging him in the lake of souls when he saved Brok, he stopped wearing the gloves because he doesn’t care anymore, all that it mattered in his life was Brok, his only family and now he is gone
sadge
@@johnnyboy3410 you’re incorrect about one thing. Fate showed that a someone with a spear would lead the armies against Odín. It was just assumed that it was Tyr.
@@raymartinez7039 fates also said that Atreus will be killed by Heimdall
@@johnnyboy3410 that’s irrelevant to what i said
You are absolutely correct. Many won't see it this way, but Sindri is his own self to blame for this. Had he not defy fate the first time, this wouldn't had happened. Had he coped with Brok's death the first time, he wouldn't be feeling this grief, hatred and pain. Brok told him to let him go and that's what Sindri must do.
The "I love you Brok" really killed me
VA for Sindri raised the bar. Magnificient work.
Me too, man. When you have to say goodbye to the most important person in your life, how do you even express what they meant to you? How much you miss them? How much you mourn for them? How you're not you without them?
You say I love you.
@@NitroNinja324 That's why you appreciate people while they are living. It still hurts when they die but there is comfort in knowing you were good to them.
I fell to the ground 😭
Brok’s death did not hurt me as much as seeing how hurt and broken Sindri was..
Sans?
Sans?
Sans?
Sans?
Sans?
The saddest part is that, because Brok is missing a part of his soul, his soul can’t reach the light of Alfheim and he is forever stuck wandering without an afterlife. I think one of the reasons Sindri took Brok’s death so hard was because he knows, because of what Sindri did, Brok is forever lost and denied peace in his afterlife.
I really, REALLY hope we have a quest in the next game where we find the missing piece of his soul and help him find peace. Atreus should be the one to do it since he’s getting quite good with souls and Giant magic. It will be a beautiful redemption for him and Atreus can say his goodbye to Brok since he wasn’t at the funeral 😢
I really hope for this too.
Brok does not deserve the fate of not having an afterlife.
And this would be a fitting thing for Atreus to do to help.
Even if it only slightly helps Sindri to recover, at least Brok can rest in peace.
Yeah, thats what many people forget. Sindri is so devastated because his prior action in resurrecting Brock led to a fate far worse death later... Because he was too selfish and scared to let Brock rest in peace. I really hope we get that quest to find Brocks 4th soulpart in the next GOW...
Maybe the valkyries can help too, considering they deal with souls all the time. Tbh though I just want to see a ghost brok beating up a ghost odin
@@Bro_watOdin’s soul was smashed by Sindri.
@@WTFMANify i know, just wish I could see what I mentioned before
Mimir solving the riddle hours after players probably forgot about it, which just happened to be thematically fitting (on top of super emotional) for the exact moment that Sindri left…
As a writer I know the narrative team fuckin high fived the shit out of each other when someone had that brain blast.
Also perfect delivery from Mimir’s actor.
It’s just a divine dramatic moment that will stick with me for a long time.
What a stoke of goddamn genius that was too, man. That final delivery broke me. Beautiful storytelling.
When was the riddle first introduced? Did I miss something?
It also seems to me they set up the perfect little quip for the very end of Brok's story.
when Kratos goes to tell Sindri something he says, "Brok was.." then he is cut off it then picks up with Mimir saying, "A hole" or asshole, like how most people in lore would refer to him jokingly or not. To me thats the cherry on top of Brok's story and just what he would've wanted
@@combatbeatdown The riddle is introduced during the mission where Brok and Kratos go to Svartalfheim to forge the spear.
I hadn't forgotten about it...I just thought it would have a funny payoff.
...yep.
8:00 Face capture has advanced significantly, and you can really see it in this bit. Sindri going through every emotion, from pure rage to the realization that it's pointless to say anything to Kratos, and then back to the broken man we saw since Brok's death. What an absolutely incredible story, contained within an already incredible story.
I like to think in that moment he remembered what Kratos did and realised a few things. First being that it would be pointless to pick a fight with him, second being he doesn't want to end up like him, third being he's already like him.
@@RileyWritey Imagine being so broken that you want to be angry, sad, anything because of your loss, but the void is so huge, so vast, there's nothing to feel anymore. It just swallows up everything now.
There isn't anything left to say, or feel, or do. There's just...nothing at all.
@@RileyWriteyThis 3 foot guy obviously wouldn’t pick a fight with him.
The most sad thing about this is that there is no doubt that Kratos recalls the time just when Brok dies when Deimos was slammed onto a stone wall by Thanatos and died. I doubt Kratos didn’t feel some sort of emotion after that happened.
He did call Brok his friend during the funeral so he definitely was sad
Kratos is definitely sad , 1) he mourns silently and doesn't often cry
2) he doesn't know to express emotions like he loved his son and wanted him to be a great fighter but didn't know how to train atreus without hurting him
Kratos fking kneels to brok when he ask Brok blessing which is wholesome
Sindri lost brok and kratos is sad because brok helped kratos many times, and kratos consider brok a friend, a VERY CLOSE friend, he sympathize with sindri, he lost his brother too and then sindri is broken and mad just like kratos is mad when he lost deimos
Wtf do you mean "i doubt kratos didnt feel for brok"?, he has his own feelings you dumbass, he just dont want to showw his weak side, you are high or something?
If I remember correctly,kratos almost jumped off the cliff,after Deimos death
This is how you KNOW you have a masterpiece of a game; that one scene, done so simply yet perfectly, can make a grown man in his 30's cry.
TRUE and that background music is too good
@@MP-gt3np Bear McCreary is a magician.
Also in his 40's as a grown man, father, husband. I cry very easily and watching that scene again just makes me cry.
I know the feeling. This game is a masterpiece in storytelling. Got misty eyed a couple times throughout this and after completing it, I'm left with that empty "what do I do now" feeling.... can't play this for the first time anymore....
Also its a side quest
Like dude I have a limit to control my emotions
As Faye said: "To grieve deeply... is to have loved fully."
It reflects so much on Sindri, Kratos, Freya -hell even us. It hurts the soul to know that.
Not to mention for the first time since his Spartan brethren Kratos has met a group of people he actually trusts and respects
Hopefully, it stays that way. Unless, the sands of an ancient desert with a now afraid sun-god overstep their boundaries.
@@bobbydylan8243 hopefully, but as we all know in the world of pagan mythology somebody is ALWAYS starting something
Those words HIT
True story ❤️🩹😔
5:48
Music swelling up at just the right time always adds SO much to a scene, the choir chiming in immediately brought tears to the eye
Do you know the name of this music? I searched but I couldn't find.
The actor that plays Sindri is so underrated. I am struggling to think of a more poinient acting performance, video game/movie/TV, anything. I think i've watched this ending about 30 times now, and i can't do it with a dry eye. I've played games for more that 30 years and this is the most a game has ever made me FEEL. Between the stella acting, the masterful composition, this imo is the greatest scene in gaming. Well done santa monica
Brok too, man he really brought an iconic character with his voice and loud mouthed, rude, but ultimately 100% honest personality. He's such an iconic unforgettable character, really brought the games so much flavour.
The worst thing about this is since brok was resurrected, the way they did only 3/4 bits of his souls survived so he can’t go to an afterlife he’s stuck in limbo and there’s nothing we can do
Is this said in after dialogue or something?
@@NoirRaven its said when Atreus asks Kratos if theres something they could do to bring Brok back.
@@AreztristanWT yeah Mimir said like 3/4 of broks soul was recovered yet since he lost the 4th part he can’t do anything he’s drug and he can’t do anything
That was the REAL punch to the gut. You’re essentially ready for any of the characters you like to die but to know the soul of your loved one will not find the peace that they deserve in the afterlife is beyond haunting. It’s the kind of unsettling feeling that makes a person spend the rest of their lives trying to find a way right that wrong for their dear loved one.
@@MrShapow23 And that's part of why Sindri is so fucked up. Regardless of the fact that Odin killed him, regardless of the fact that Atreus brought this into their home, _he's_ the reason Brok's fate was so tragic, and he knows it. Honestly, I think he'd be less angry if he could _just_ blame Odin and Atreus.
Dark theory, but... I feel like this will be the last we see of Sindri. Even if there is another game in a different setting, he seems broken- so much so that he can barely function. His armor is still stained with Brok's blood, he's emaciated, like he hasn't ate in days, and he can only walk unsteadily on his way out of the funeral. I believe he's going to find some hole to die in, or just starve himself from sheer grief.
It's also notable that I think Brok probably wouldn't have wanted Sindri to distance himself from everyone else. It's incredibly tragic, the ending Sindri got.
I really hope at least theres dlc or another full game where you play as atreus and help sindri move past his grief
@@rewmnog No dlc but definitely another saga (probably multiple) I don’t know if we’ll see Sindri again. His fate will be up to the viewer and he’ll probably live out his days in isolation and sadness.
@@rewmnog I hope we don’t actually. I love this ending. I love how it shows how not everyone gets a good ending. And if there is a new saga, I think that it should be an event that kratos or Atreus feel very guilty about.
The music that starts playing at 3:33 and 4:55 that Raeb (Bear McCreary's character) plays on the Hurdy Gurdy is "Raeb's Lament". It's such a powerful piece of music that really adds to these scenes.
It's heartbreaking, honestly, especially hearing a more light-hearted take on this melody earlier in the game, in "Huldra Brothers".
That songs my favorite in the whole series because it hits the hardest
Low key want it played at my funeral
@@imchase7796 wouldn't blame you!.. I also couldn't cuz you'd be dead 🥸👍🏽
Raeb's backwards also means Bears Lament - pertaining to Kratos as the Bear of the story, 😭
Neither Sindri nor Brok deserved this
That’s why Odin got what he deserved in the the final fight.
@@AfroXaolin2023 I still think he got of easy after all the dastardly things he's done
@@ghost4439 True….Odin did get his shit rocked by Kratos, Atreus and Freya, but his actual demise was swift and rather painless. However, Sindri basically obliterated Odin’s very essence. Which means he gets no afterlife or reincarnation. He’s GONE and had no way of coming back, and I think that’s fitting.
@@AfroXaolin2023 yea since im pretty sure brok is getting the same treatment since you know not having a soul and all
@@AfroXaolin2023 true, but it doesn't feel like it's enough. Guess it's true what they say, vengeance is great in the moment but afterwards you're left feeling empty. Nothing can heal that wound that's been placed on us by Odin, not even vengeance. It helps, but it's never 'enough'.
I had chills hearing the score during the funeral scene and still do.
The song at broks funeral is mesmerizing I love it
Hurdygurdies have this indescribable whimsy to that that can hardly be put unto words. Mesmerizing is definitely one of them.
It's called Raeb's Lament
Well, Odin just surpassed Zeus in hatred for this series.
Zeus kinda had an excuse for being awful with the evils of Pandora's Box. Well, more awful than usual. Odin is just terrible because that's who he is
Odin is the real Sigma Male, will do literally anything to achieve his goal
@@justadude7598 point taken but for me that's just being greedy
@@SimonPetrikov12 zeus did shit even before the evils of pandora box got released
@@justadude7598 I hate to break it to you but Sigma males in reality do not do awful things at the detriment of others to achieve what they want if that's what you mean by anything or everything, you can be rest assured because I am one. We live to serve the realm and not ourselves.
Odin, his very existence was to serve himself and himself alone.
We do not seek any validation for who we are and what we live for, expect compensation of any kind for what we give, or take vain pride in the fruits of our positive actions. Sigma males are indeed humble creatures and we use wisdom to guide our every path, though sometimes our humanity (imperfections) fall into play. Yet we learn from those and improve upon our actions to create a positive impact.
Odin, for the life of him did things for all the realms to see him for who he is, the All-father of all, the King of Asgard and in fact, all the realm, to obtain credit in the process, and therefore exalted himself obove all.
If any should qualify for the position of a sigma in this game, it should be Kratos. As an observer, I have observed his character development ever since this new version of the game came out in 2018.
after all this, we better get a dlc where we play as Atreus and help Sindri mend this heartbreak of losing his brother.
This is the last one for GoW franchise. They wont have a DLC, the director said that they hate DLC. And they will never make one.
@@JusTheWolfy wait...so this is the final chapter of god of war?
But what about Kratos's new path?where does it lead?
@@gioric0458 we do not know, and we never will. It ends here, for good.
@@gioric0458 the name of the game is Ragnarök after all, which means into the destruction of norse mythology.
@@JusTheWolfy but some news, they said ragnarok is the end of norse mythology, not the gow series, but lets see later
Adam John Harrington absolutely crushed in terms of acting and performance. Everyone did a stellar job with their performances in Ragnarok but Harrington’s descent into despair with Sindri’s grief was powerful. Mo-cap and the delivery of Sindri’s transformation is arguably one of the best performances I’ve seen in a narrative based game.
The way Sindri becomes broken. To think, This could have been Freya at some point. Sure she was emotionally broken after Bauldr died, but she didn't get reduced to Sindri's level. It's heartbreaking when a friend becomes so broken that they become detached from everyone.
Not could have been Freya it WAS Freya at the end of the 2018 game and the start of this one.
The only difference being that Sindri actually got his revenge on Odin for killing Brok, while Freya forgives Kratos for killing Baldur, once again opening her heart to a new family, while Sindri permanently closes his heart to it
@@AfroHayot sindri pretty much became Kratos at the end of GoW3.
I'd say she did get similar to Sindiri. She just got out of it. For a time she was neglecting Charli despite how much she cared about him. She didn't care about much either when she was in that state. I think Sindri will get better from it. Just takes time.
It just goes to show that your life isn’t just you, it’s all those you were intertwined with who you loved and who loved you.
As someone who lost a brother, the death and especially the funeral really hits me hard. Still get teary eyed even now as I write this
My condolences 🙏🏽
Sorry for you loss.
Sorry for your loss 💔 Same with me recently. Something like this sets me off.
@@emd78s Sorry for your loss as well 😢
@@tommytoon_stories thank you
Kratos was the one who respected Brok the most, even if he doesn’t cry, you can see the pain in his face when he tries to comfort Sindri
This scene shattered me. I loved Brok and Sindri's humor and comedic relief, seeing this tore my heart in two and cemented Odin as a coward.
OMG BROK WAS ALSO KIND OF A HOLE
@@kinbolluck476 Unfunny joke you got there, bro
Sindri did not deserve this. He was such a kind soul and Brok was awesome.
I really appreciate how they gave Brok a proper sendoff rather than just have his body show up in that later cutscene with Sindri. Really shows how fleshed out this world is, and how Brock’s loss affected them all.
Also, after rewatching the entire scene, I personally found it interesting that Sindri didn’t insult Kratos, only giving him the quick aggressive stance, but soon quickly stopping and walking off. I think this scene showed that while Sindri is still painfully grieving, he knows fighting won’t bring Brok back, especially after killing Odin. I think he knows that Kratos and others are trying to make an effort to rekindle a hopeful relationship with Sindri, but he needs more time for his grief.
Rip Brok.
"i have met many on my travels, you are one of the few i would call "friend" " From the god of war, that was a perfect dialogue
8:31 good call back to brok's riddle. it also reflects on sindri's heart. the more he is reminded that brok has been taken away the bigger his sadness grows
That resolution at the end for Brok's riddle was very well placed.
That intense silent glare Sindri gave Kratos after he pulled away from him, when the latter tried to comfort him after the funeral, shows that Sindri's path to finding peace may possibly be unattainable. This could set him down a dangerous and destructive path. Makes me think of Baulder for some reason. Different circumstances, but same path of pain.
You can’t fix what’s broken. There’s always going to be some bitter part blaming everything for taking what you live away. I’m sorry to say it.
I actually saw more of a similarity to Freya's situation. Both of them made (understandable but selfish) snap decisions that ultimately changed their loved ones' lives for the worse. Both of them blamed other people for an unfortunate turn of events that ended in the deaths of their loved ones-- events that no one had any control over.
Only time will tell if Sindri will be able to move on from Brok's death in the same way that Freya moved on from Baldur's.
It's anger at himself directed outwardly. He denied Brok an afterlife because he was selfish, and now he has to live with that.
Not really, he looked hostile initially but later neutralised to see the same pain in kratos’ eyes
I don't think he'll become a villain, but it's true that he'll never find peace.
Does anybody else realize that the "hole" that gets bigger is sindri as Atreus and Kratos just took more from him, it's kind of poetic actually
Think about it Brok had "The Smartest Man Alive"baffled throughout the game with that riddle and Mimir never got to say the answer to him.
Brok you will forever be remembered.
I wish the game let Kratos talk to Sindri about his own brother, about how he misses him and he understands the loss.
And if he needs he'll always have a home with them. It's sad that despite multiple deaths happening at the end, everyone
gets to walk away with a resolution.
Freya lost her brother but he chose to do that and she acknowledges it.
Thor died but his wife and daughter got rid of their biggest abuser
Even the light/dark elf couple didn't lose each other.
But Sindri? He loses everything, and we can't even help him. He's the only one who gets a sad ending.
The voice actor for sindri crushed it in this game. "I love you Brok" fuckin broke me. Sounded so genuine and hard to say.
Theres no reason this game wouldnt win game of the year. All of the emotions this game packs alone makes it goated. Brok and Sindri were the best characters ever introduced into this series and seeing broks death through my gameplay had me in tears man
Hugged my little brother after this scene. Faye's words will always be with me. Her words we're so we'll written and perfectly explain what sindri's going through.
8:01 Wow what a powerful stare down you can tell kratos said a lot with that look especially since he understands his pain more than anyone.
Deimos
His wife & daughter
His loyal spartan soldier and Orkos
The boat captain
His mother and his entire homeland
"I love you Brok" got me. Immediately teared up.
RIP Brok.
These scenes still hit me the same as if it were the 1st play through. It can’t be helped to feel the grief of the Huldra brothers. This game really encapsulates just how much heart and soul the actors put into these scenes 😭😭😭
"To grieve deeply is to have loved fully"
I have such empathy for sindri. I would more likely than not be the same way he was if I lost my brother and after watching this scene a month ago, I've been trying to spend more time with him. I don't know how much time either of us have on this earth but I hope the time we do spend together will be cherished memories for either of us should our time come.
Anyway good health, good fortune, good luck, and good vibes to anyone who happens to read this
At 8:00 Sindri isn’t timid or scared anymore of Kratos, just broken
As far as he's concerned he's lost everything that mattered. He has nothing left to fear.
His death gets much worse once you hear the conversation about his soul never reaching afterlife.
Sindri was so broken he couldn't care less how much of an absolute mess he looked. He still has his brother's blood on him. I hope that eventually he'll find it in his heart to let go and forgive them, even himself, just as Freya did.
It's even more heartbreaking, and so ap for the moment, that mimir solves brok's riddle at his funeral. A hole...what Sindri feels, as more is taken away.
8:30 This hits harder when you realize that he was referring to the riddle that Brok was stumping Mimir with
Mimir answering the riddle in the end really broke my heart 💔
And just like that, Sindri was never the same again
After beating this game, I was heartbroken by what happened to Brok and Sindri. I love those two characters and seeing them like this just adds salt to the wound.
Poor Sindri, A kind and clean-loving Dwarf, polishes my axe of blood stains, to a broken mess. And I don't blame him for acting this way at everyone after playing through the game.
I hope he comes back in the next GOW game (if there is one next).
8:00
It’s right here, during THAT stare, is when Sindri realized that Kratos and Atreus couldn’t be blamed for it. There was so much anger in that start but it slowly became dissolved by the end, because he knew it wasn’t their fault.
Yet… he’s still angry, so he says nothing… and leaves. But… now he’s only angry with himself.
Sindri has gone through four of the five stages of grief.
Denial: He cant.... You can't
Bargaining: Maybe if I go back to the lake--
Anger: blaming Atreus and Kratos, and killing Odin.
Depression: the funeral.
Now, he just needs acceptance.
“I love you, Brok.” I bursted with tears
8:31 Kratos wasn't holding up Mimir to see brok go off on the boat. Mimir was looking back at the rocks during the funeral lol
This was such a powerful and emotional scene. Mimir finally getting the answer to Brok's riddle was the chef's kiss
Im glad mimir answered the riddle
Man I wish brok just came back just to tell mimir he’s wrong
"Brok was--"
"I don't want to hear it. I still can't accept it. Not like you all can. Even now, even with Odin gone...just leave me be. I can't stand to be around anyone...not even myself."
8:30 Fckin brilliant goddamm writing.
Broke me to pieces
I can't help it but to notice that Brock left without knowing the origins of the Blades of Chaos which he wanted so much to learn but Kratos always refused to tell
I come to see this video because of recently my brother just passed away. When he was still alive, both of us hype to play this this. He like Brok while I like Sindri but after he's dead I just can feel Sindri how sad and broken he is after see the person who he love the most past away just like I am.
“To grieve deeply is to have loved fully.”
-Faye
"A hole. Gets bigger the more you take away" is deep af! Sindri is the hole in this instance. The pay off on that riddle is crazy.
8:09 damn this scene is so sad, sindri completely lost his mind look like want to blame everyone, but he know this is all odin fault
I’m a full grown man, I have a beard, I pay taxes and this just fucking destroyed me, I finished the game 3 days ago and I’m still crying like a child.
Brok will always be my favorite character.
A beard does not make you a man. Your character, your responsibilities, the weight you carry and how you carry it, is what makes a man
The whole funeral scene and that beautiful music growing in the background is just phenomenal.
Christopher Judge definetly deserved winning an award for his performance. But Sindri's actor should have gotten some recognition as well. He nailed his emotional turmoil. Incredibly powerful and tangible performance.
My girlfriend just finished going through Ragnarök today and… god. This is one of the best funeral scenes in any piece of media. It’s so… real. The brokenness… the void. The moment when Mimir says, “A hole… it gets bigger the more you take away.” It’s already really fucking sad, but the underrated aspect that nobody talks about is the fact that Kratos grunts once in response to Mimir as an instinct, but then he really thinks about the agony of that statement. What it really means… and then he grunts again. The type of noise that comes across like he’s thinking, “…Fuck.” It’s a really subtle moment but it really connects the audience to the riddle’s true answer. The audience realizes what it means WITH Kratos.
This games writing was not perfect by any means… but this funeral scene was an accomplishment unlike any other. It’s so devastating and amazing. I needed this so much.
Loss of a brother… I can’t even imagine how much can this break a person. I hope I never know
Kratos know it very well. He probably felt terrible for Sindri.
There's something about Mimir figuring out the riddle that made me the most emotional
I think it's the timing of when he figured it out, juxtaposed with sindri's grief
@@gauthampaul4213 yeah. Because sindri now has a hole in his heart, so to speak
At 8:00 Sindri turns around and looks at Kratos with hatred in his eyes. He needs someone to blame, so he blames him and Atreus, and wants to let him have it but he can't. As he stares at Kratos his gaze goes from one of hatred to one of pity and understanding. He realizes that Kratos is in the same boat as he is, he's just as broken, and without Atreus by his side, he's just as lonely. They both live in the aftermath of having loved and cared for not Atreus, but Loki, the God of Mischief.
Nooo, Mimir finally figured out the riddle and it was way too perfect for the scene, legendary writing
Loss does so many things to a man, and most of it is seen in the littlest details especially to Sindri.
He stopped caring, he even stopped being mindful of all the dirt and blood on his hand and armor, unlike before when he couldn't even touch the leviathan axe with blood on it.
Sindri will never be the same, nor will the game be without seeing the two brothers just working on their shops living their dream.
I feel deeply saddened for Sindri and Brok.
It makes sense he would sense the trickery of Odin.
Brok was a no nonsense sort of guy, and wanted every detail panned out. He didn’t just want the result, but also the method and the materials if you know what I mean.
This entire game was an epic emotional journey but that ending completely broke me, Santa Monica studios thank you for this incredible game.
i never knew i could have loved/liked a character from a game🥺 (not in that kind of way) it’s just Brok and Sindri were always my favourite characters, Brok was always funny mad and serious all the time. i’m not sure why i cried so much when he died. 😢
Sindri story shows you what happens when you take too much from someone. You end up taking so much that the person you taking from is left empty and resentful.
Second saddest scene in the whole game. Especially when Mimir finally gets the riddle only by experiencing the answer, a hole in his heart
Seeing brok die was like seeing an uncle pass, i never really had any male figures in my life but the advice they would tell atreus, it felt like they were saying it to me too, I know it's not that deep in the end but I gotta get my advice from somewhere and these characters helped 🖤
Used by god and lost everything for it. When he had problems himself he was told "we have no time for little people's little problems" that hits hard :(
I will forever love this game the storytelling the graphics the gameplay are absolutely phenomenal. An the very fact that it tugs at your heart strings as a player is even better especially for the og players who have been with kratos since day 1. An I will say for a fact that this scene made me cry 😭, I was kinda hoping that sindri would become a dragon an rip Odin to absolute shreds!!!
6:04
man the acting here feels so real
The fact when sindri dies he will never see his brother since his other soul parts are missing is absolutely heart shattering
I know ill be remembering this 20 years from now. Man that hurts.
“I love you brok” in that broken tone gets me so hard. Brock’s death is so tragic and Sindri’s reaction makes it even more depressing
Dude, this game got me in so much tears I wasn’t expecting to cry as much like I did in the spider man game when aunt may had died I honestly thought they we’re finally gonna kill kratos but man brok was just something else man I really feel bad for sindri he lost his only family he had left this game was phenomenal this has to get Game of the year rest in peace Brok you will be truly missed
