In return, she agrees to help Kratos and Atreus defeat Odin. Defeated, Freya agrees to aid Kratos and Atreus if they help break Odin’s curse that prevents her from leaving Midgard. Angrboda, meanwhile, tries to convince Atreus that it’s better to come to terms with his destiny and relish the time he has left with his father.Ītreus returns home where he and Kratos are attacked by Freya on her quest for vengeance after the slaying of her son Baldur in the previous game. It’s a bitter pill for Atreus to swallow and with this knowledge, he spends the rest of the game trying to alter his and his father’s future. Here, we see the full picture of Kratos’s prophecy-that he will die at Ragnarök and Atreus would unite with Odin in Asgard. Like the Giants before her, she paints the fate of various gods and goddesses. In the game’s interpretation of Norse mythology, she is one of the last remaining Jötunn, a Giant (FYI it’s important to note that not all Jötnar are monumental in size). It’s here that we’re introduced to Angrboda. Roughly 10 hours into Ragnarö k, Atreus falls asleep and awakes in The Lost Sanctuary of Ironwood, a world the Giants called home before Odin tried to destroy them. How would this happen? Would Atreus kill him? We’re not sure about the context because parts of the shrine are broken and we learn how in this most recent installment. This shrine, dedicated to Atreus, also suggested an ominous ending-that Kratos would soon die. It’s depicted in a mural that shows her son’s past, present and future. God of War: Ragnarök’s ending explainedĪt the end of 2018’s God of War, Faye and the Giant’s prophecy is revealed. Kratos, meanwhile, is simply motivated by keeping his son safe from harm. For the now-teenage Atreus in Ragnarök, questions about his destiny and whether knowing his future is enough to stop it from happening are what drive him forward in this latest installment. The concepts of fate versus free will play a huge part in the story arc of these characters. He hunts Kratos and Atreus as his father believes they’re the bringers of Ragnarök, Norse mythology’s cataclysmic end of days and the destruction of Asgard. Baldur, son of Odin and his ex-wife Freya, is the main antagonist. In doing so, they defeat many enemies along the way and uncover a family secret, chiefly that Atreus’s mother was a Giant and her son’s Giant name is Loki, the Norse trickster god. In the predecessor God of War, Kratos and his son Atreus fulfill his wife Faye’s wish by scattering her ashes on the highest peak in the Nine Realms-atop the Giant’s Fingers in Jötunheim. If you’ve finished the most recent game and still have questions, here’s the ending to God of War: Ragnarök explained.Ī little refresher, first. God of War: Ragnarök is a triumphant follow-up to 2018’s Game of the Year, God of War. Warning: Major spoilers for God of War: Ragnarök ahead.
