God of War Ragnarok prepares us for battle, which gods and monsters will face Kratos?

We looked to Norse mythology for the enemies we can fight in the new PS5 and PS4 game.

2018 God of War took Ghost of Sparta straight into Scandinavian lands to face some of them. the harshest gods that mythological tales have given us, but what new threats will we find in this second chapter? As you can imagine, the text will include: SPOILERS About the 2018 game and if you haven’t played it yet, we suggest you stop reading here. Kratos’ journey with his son Atreus Midgardto pass alfheimhouse of elves Jötunheimrkingdom of giants and even Helheimthe underworld where the dead travel and ruled by Hel.

Kratos and Atreus try to prevent end-of-the-world warMuspelheimfire world and Niflheimfrozen world were the other two realms we had access to, though they were left out of this new franchise release. Svartalfheimkingdom of the dwarves, vanaheimhome of the Vanir gods and Asgard, that of the Aesir gods. This first episode also served to come across and introduce us to many people. gods and mythological creaturesbut the name of the new game is a pretty goodwill statement.

In God of War: Ragnarok, Kratos and Atreus are looking avoid the end of the world war In an event between the Aesir gods and fire giants, where the most powerful gods and creatures of Norse mythology faced off in a no-quarter battle. In reality, although Sony Santa Monica game only takes these legends as a reference and adapts it to its own history, it is inevitable to imagine some of the events and heroes told by the legends. That’s why we wanted to dream. What challenges might Kratos face? and his son, who will try to make sense of his newfound identity as Loki.

While both the God of War end and Ragnarok trailers feature Thor as the archenemy, Ragnarok events in Norse mythology include Thor. father of all and leader of the fire giants and ruler of Muspelheim, SurturA war that also concerns Jotun, with Loki himself leading it.

It’s easy to imagine a fight against Odin himselfIf there’s one thing that characterizes Santa Monica, it’s to not wrinkle when it comes to throwing Kratos into the mouths of the worst enemies one could face, which is why it’s so easy to daydream. A war against Odin himself. The leader of the Aesir is the father of Thor, Tyr, and Balder, and knowing that the three sons are of great importance in the events of history, his father’s long shadow inevitably leaves us waiting for a fight on god’s apex. .

It remains to be seen what will happen. Surtur’s role in this long-awaited war It’s final because even though we share enemies with Kratos, it’s hard for us to think we have such a vortex of destruction as allies, at least if it’s represented in the way we imagine it to be. However, there is a remnant of the giant we met earlier.

Even though we can already see Surtur’s gigantic sword While we’re stuck in Muspelheim, nothing can guarantee that it’s the only one and that we won’t be able to capture the Blazing Sword to face Odin. This is one of the most powerful weapons in Norse mythology and can destroy anything in its path. If Kratos’ goal is to prevent Ragnarok, he will have to stop both Surtur and Odin, and the sword that can do it. Split the sky in two and consume the world in flames It seems like a weapon powerful enough to aid Kratos on his mission.

Mjölnir is probably the most famous weapon in Norse mythology.– Thor’s mighty hammer is described as the most fearsome weapon in the gods’ arsenal, capable of destroying anyone who tries to undermine the Aesir’s supremacy and wreaking havoc with the hammer in our Spartan’s hand, it would be incredible. . The newly released Collector’s Edition and Jötnar Edition will include a replica of Thor’s weapon and highlight the importance of Mjölnir in our new adventure.

We have already been able to witness the gigantic Jörmundgander, the Midgard Serpent, the daughter of Loki and Angrboda, one of the characters we will meet in this new chapter in God of War. But Angrboda and Loki will also give birth to one of the most terrifying and terrifying creatures in Norse mythology: Fenrir, the colossal and monstrous wolf.

One of the scariest and creepiest creatures in Norse mythologyFenrir will face Odin in Ragnarok and has a key role in the tragedy of Tyr, another of the characters included in the new Santa Monica title. Although we haven’t seen Fenrir yet, the giant wolf appeared in 2018 with dialogues and triptychs and even his own game. Mimir mentions him in one of his stories.He speaks of the great enemy of the Aesir gods through one of the names by which he is known.

The way he talks about the giant suggests he’s been in chains for a long time, so his appearance in the game was one of the mysteries we hoped to solve as he walked through the gates of Asgard. But today’s trailer developed an imposing figure that got us up and running: Giant wolf in front of Kratos and AtreusHe managed to get our heart rate up with what appeared to be shackles on one of his feet. On your own behalf Sleipnir, eight-legged gray horse, Odin’s mighty mount and another of Loki’s sons. His presence in the game would be a great way for us to enter the war at the end of the world.

Odin’s son is one of the most formidable gods in mythology, a guardian with keen eyesight and good hearing who can stay alert for days. Heimdall offers unprecedented perception, so it remained that way. bifrost keeperBridge to Asgard and responsible for announcing the arrival of Ragnarok.

The Legend of Heimdall and their fate is closely linked to that of Loki., so it could be an ideal final foe for Atreus. When Kratos’ son receives Sindri’s arrows, Sindri describes them as “flatter than Heimdall”, referring to the warrior’s reputation.
