The latest 2018 iteration of God Of War certainly lived up to its promise of deliv🀅ering exhilarating action, breathtaking scenery and beautiful narrative, all wrapped into one unforgettable adventure. Players have so much to take in now that Kratos has resurfaced, not as a vicious and hot-tempered exterminator, but as a patient and calm father. On top of that, Kratos is now in an unfamiliar land that's filled with a plethora 🐬of dangerous creatures and mysterious characters.
This new world is filled with its own rich lore that's brimming with untold tales and buried secrets. It seems that both Kratos and Atreus unearth more questions than answers in their perilous journey. Even after completing their mission, both father and son realize that they've only scratched the surface of this complex universe. The players themselves might even be scratching their hea꧟ds after the game's conclusion since there's still so much more mysteries in the game that are yet to be solved.
After all, players are thrown right in the middle of Kratos' new lℱife without even knowing how he got there in the first place. It's only natural for fans and even Kratos himself, to feel overwhelmed by all the new changes and intricacies that this new world has to offer. These 25 unresolved mysteries might help build the bigger picture of this unfamiliar territory as fans wait for answers in the follow-up of this epic masterpiece.
26 𝐆 ꩵ Voices In Atreus' Head
Atreus has many secret talents and abili🉐ties but hearing voices is certainly one of the more disturbing aspects of his hidden repertoiꦡre. Kratos' son is prone to hearing various disembodied voices. He claims that one of these voices comes from his deceased mother Faye while the rest are quite unfamiliar to him.
Where♎ do these voices co♒me from and why are they contacting Atreus? More importantly, how did Atreus even acquire this ability? These are the questions that could be lingering inside the head of both the fans and even Atreus himself.
25 ♈ Dream Or Prediction?ꦓ
During the post-ending segment of the game, Thor himself actually visits Kratos' home and stands outside his doorstep. Atreus even acknowledges the shocking scenario upon waking up but Kratos seems to dismiss it as nothing more than a dream. However, was it truly just a dream or was it a pre𝄹diction?
While it's unclear if the god of thunder is actually planning on ambushing Kratos' home, he'll undoubtedly want to take revenge after what ܫha꧃ppened to his sons Magni and Modi. Either way, this only makes waiting for the sequel even longer.
24 Broཧk & Sindri's Teleportation Skills
T𓄧he renowned dwarven blacksmiths aren't just good at crafting perfect weapons and armor, they also have a knack for popping up almost anywhere they want. Kratos and Atreus seem to find B🅰rok and Sindri wherever they go. Sindri explains that they have the ability to go in a “world between worlds.”
They're granted special abilities and the privilege to do inter-dimensional travel but how this “magic” worked wasn't exactly explained. It's a🔜 shame since this skill would've been really handy for Kratos since it saves his arms from gettinﷺg worn out from constantly rowing to one island after another.
23 Kratos' Missin🧔g Treasures
It's odd how Kratos came into foreign territory without his iconic armaments. While Kratos later revealed that he still had the Blades of Chaos in his possession, the rest of his loot were basically nowhere to be seen. The massive꧑ Blade of Olympus might have run out of juice and was discarded.
It would've been awesome to scale walls with Kratos' iconic boots.
However, Kratos still had the Boots of Hermes with him before venturing forth to this new destin🅠ation. He might have lost it along the way or perhaps he's sa🥃ving it for a rainy day. Nobody but Kratos knows for sure.
22 ꦡ The Shield Of Unknown Origin 🔴
Kratos' initial arsenal consists of the Leviathan Axe and a gauntlet that held a retractable shield called the Guardian Shield. The Leviathan Axe was revealed to be a work of Brok and Sindri, a weapon built to rival Thor's Mjolnir. As for the Guardian Shield, it's said to be Faye's anniversary gifﷺt to Kratos in celebration of the time they first met but not much is known beyond that.
It's possible that Brok and Sindr൩i also made the shield but they never acknowledged it when they first saw it on Kratos' wrist. It seems Faye was more secretive than Kratos anticipated.
21 Athena💦's Mystical ౠCameo
Athena helped Kratos become the god of war in the past but her role in the game brings more questions than answers. The꧙ Greek goddess appeared to Kratos in spectral form taunting him about his past mistakes and that he'll never h🌼ave the normal life he wanted. While Kratos seems to brush off Athena's presence, it's evident that the Greek goddess still haunts him wherever he goes.
Will Athena aid ⛦Kratos in his future endeavors or is she simply a reminder of Kratos' dark past? It's hard﷽ to tell at the moment but Kratos is certainly looking past his sister for now.
20 Identity Of The Raven Keeper 🐎
Over the course of the game, players acquire bits of stories written bౠy an individual known as “The Raven Keeper.” This individual writes about Asgard's defenses, events happening in Midgard and💜 the recent appearance of the world serpent. The topics of this so-called Raven Keeper strongly suggests that he's a spy from Asgard.
Pe꧟rhaps the Raven Keeper's identity could even be the allfather Odin himself given how he keeps birds as spies. However, the writings do mention Odin instead of referring to himself so his identity is pretty much still up for debate.
19 Svartaljofurr's Last Words 🦄
Dark Elf king Svartaljofurr certainly gave Kratos and Atreus a rather difficult time before finally succumbing to their attac⛄ks. However, Svartaljofurr told the duo that they were making a grave mistake before he took his last breath. These words echoed throughout Atreus' head and even had him contemplating on whether or not they were doing the right thing.
His attacks weren't the only thing about him that's tough to figure out.
Was S♏vartaljofurr playing mind ♓games or is he saying that the light elves are actually the evil ones? The duo will have to see the aftermath of their actions in the sequel.
18 Disappearance Of Freya's𒊎 Brother
Freya's brother Freyr was supposedly consid🍸ered as the ruler of the elf kingdom Alfheim. However, when Kratos arrived at the elven realm, Freyr is nowhere to be seen. The bodies of fallen light elves littered the realm but there were no signs of Freyr's whereabouts anywhere.
Once the light of Alfheim was restored, the light elves immediately started looking for their missing 🐼ruler. Freyr's whereabouts is still a mystery but it's likely that he's in either of the inaccessible realms namely Vanaheim or Asgard. Either way, fans won't be able💫 find out until the next game.
17 Atreus Vs Dark Elf Army 💧 ꦓ
Atreu😼s had to battle an army of dark elves all by himself when Kratos pursued the light of Alfheim. How was Atreus able to withstand a battalion of dark elves alone? Sure, he's still Kratos' son but he's also sickly and even thinks he's mortal.
Even Kratos himself was speechless after seeing Atreus' accomplishment.
Atreus could barely defeat a single dark elf on his own before getting himself incapaไcitated. On top of that, this all happened before he even realized he was a god, making this feat even more mind-blowing.
