Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök approaches. Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, and their confrontation with Baldur has vindicated the belief that only tragedy will come from further entanglements with the Aesir. Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his family safe, but Atreus also doesn’t want to stand by and do nothing while conflict consumes the Nine Realms. The mystery of Loki’s role in the upcoming conflict is something that Atreus cannot let go of. In this case, he wants to understand who he could be. Like most young people, he wants to understand who he is more than anything. While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw.Ītreus is desperately curious.

Despite this setback, Kratos vows to have his revenge and slowly begins the trek back to the top of Mount Olympus.Įven when compared to the past two God of War games, God of War III has some exceptionally cool characters, bosses, and moments. After an exciting fight against Poseidon and a failed attempt on Zeus' life, Kratos falls off the mountain and plummets into the Underworld.
