35 Details You Missed! - God of War: Ragnarok Story Trailer Breakdown 

The Thing with Kratos' actual god hood is, that when Zeus destroyed Sparta, the last Spartan soldier told him on his last breath, that the Spartans prayed to Kratos for protection and for safety. So yeah, the Spartans Worshipped Kratos.

"I have faith that our brothers of Sparta will live on through the true God of War." - The last words of the Last Spartan to Kratos

The Thor fight is most definitely very early in the game as kratos still has the old bifrost from the first game and in the rest of the trailer he has a new bifrost you can see it when kratos puts down his axe just slow the video. It looks much more primitive to the old bifrost so perhaps it gets damaged or just becomes useless so the dwarves build us a new one

The way you were saying Kratos so quickly I kept hearing "Curtis" lol. I was like who the heck is Curtis??

I love how everyone is having different ideas for their theories! Thanks for this video man

Don't forget that atreus is half giant who we know had the ability to see the future or key aspects of the future but can't tell kratos as he may seek to change the outcome of the current timeline

In the trailer when atreus opens the cabin door, we saw a silhouette who i assume to be odin the allfather himself. I think that when thor visits the cabin, he wants atreus to go with him to asgard, and kratos would say "no". Then i think that kratos will order atreus to stay in the cabin while kratos fights thor. Odin wouldve planned all this out and would know that kratos would be a formidablw opponent to thor, hence thor would need to distract kratos while odin tries to take atreus. Then odin shows up for the first time in the game on the cabin door. Idk what'll happen next but this is my theory.

Kratos may have given the blades of chaos to the God of War. That's why in his fight with Thor he does not have them.

Just imagine Kratos clicking his fingers to call mjolnir and it does eventually come to him, as you do get a replica of the mjolnir in the collector's edition

The sequence with thor in theory could be happening the same time Odin visits atreus, also explains why mimir is missing meaning he could be back at the hut with atreus. Just a thought

Amazing breakdown… skoll and hati are not seeing the sunset they’re witnessing an eclipse. I love that scene because it’s amazingly well made and very accurate. As you see the sun flee the scene, the moon goes from an eclipsed phase to a full moon which means the sun is travelling many days worth of distance. Such a brilliant scene and I think they’re accelerating ragnarok in this scene and not necessarily kick starting it. And amazing theory on Freyr. Even I thought that was angrboda. Quoting the relic from 2018 was sharp!! Cheers!! I am very excited for this storyline to come out in November

8:30 we saw this creature in the first trailer as well. Maybe I'm reading too far into it, but since it looks like a crocodile, I wonder if it wasn't originally from Egypt and picked up either in Tyr's travels, or taken by Odin as part of some menagerie. I think that would be an interesting way to introduce different enemies from other mythologies.

Loved your breakdown bro. Very well thought out and detailed. For me, I don’t think we will have to wait long before we see Tyr. That’s only because since this is the last game in this mythology, I don’t think they will wait long to have us see Tyr. I think Alfheim will either be the first or second realm we go to after starting off in midgard, probably the second because I think the dwarven realm will be the first one we visit because that way we will have to learn an alternate way to travel since apparently from the books, Odin has locked access through the realm travel room. Just my thought though.

When the breakdown is so good and in depth you feel like you got spoiled the entire plot line, even though it hasn’t even released yet

I was wondering if Odin visits him at the house how often will Odin visit Atreus I’m thinking he will visit him again while kratos is in the light of Alfheim

3:37 This is clearly Surtr, he's depicted larger than the other figures and stands as a "leader" of sorts. The armie's shields are marked with the runes of Muspelheim, Midgard and Jötunheim, these must be the giant armies marching towards Asgard.

Very well informed and concise video. Best breakdown I have seen of this trailer

I don't think that Kratos was forfeiting his weapons to Odin in that cabin scene... I believe he's dropping his weapons because he was feeling played or betrayed by his deceased wife Faye.

You made such a good video this was better than any other i have seen! keep up the good work

Fantastic breakdown! I only have one issue with your analysis and it is this: The Light of Alfheim. In the 2018 game, time moves slower in the light...not faster. When Kratos gave Atreus his axe and stepped into the light, he had an incredible experience running through the realms in pursuit of Faye. When Atreus finally pulled him out of the light, Kratos demanded to know "Why did you do that?!" and when Atreus told him that he did it to save him, Kratos stated that "He was gone, but moments!". A pissed off Atreus, who had killed scores and scores of Dark Elves in Kratos absence, yelled "No! You've been gone a long time!"

Best breakdown I've seen so far! Great work dude! -new subscriver

I dont think that the fight with thor is near the end. Rather its the beginning fight. In gow 2018 ending thor came to their house. If you notice kratos only grabs his axe and leaves the blades and mimir. The same is the case in the trailer.

Awsome sauce!!! Good breakdown man

Congo for 5k!!

The room where Kratos drops his weapons is svartalfheim. Look in the background of the ”what in all yarns be the happen to him” scene in the last trailer. In the back its the same window. Also the one with runes is the ”prophecy” fading away since ragnarök already is happening and therefore its not a ”prophecy” anymore.

i think the thor fight takes place at the beginning of the game, continuing from where the previous game left off. kratos leaves atreus and mimr at the cottage to take on thor by himself, and loses, getting reset to level 1 in true GOW tradition. He also loses the bifrost. Odin uses this opportunity to visit atreus while thor keeps kratos busy.

Great vid liked and subscribed

Amazing content, keep it up🤝

I'm not much of a theory guy but I can see Kratos vs Thor being one of the hardest fight in the game.

Awesome video man! Curious though, there’s a more orchestral/string version of the trailer soundtrack playing in the background throughout the video, where exactly can you find it?

In the opening where we see atreus touching the tree can also signifying that he has fully master his power

Nice analysis! Interesting to see how different people interpret one scene differently. My main interest is Kratos giving up his weapons scene. I interpret it one way, Kuba another, Chronicler a third way and here you with entirely different one! And the more variations of it I hear, the more I become convinced than the last! My personal theory is that Kratos kills Freya, regrets it (the scene with red leaf tree) and then comes back to this room (personally no idea where it is) and gives up his weapons out of guilt. But your theory sounds really interesting! If he gives up his weapons to come to Odin unarmed (which is a very clichéd trope in action movies, but not necessarily a bad one), then it could be closer to the end of the game! Kratos comes to Odin unarmed to take Atreus back, he gets bushwhacked and is forced to rely om Spartan Rage, uncontrollable version of it. Or if it's Chronicler's case, then he gives up his weapons in similar fashion he did in GoW Chains of Olympus to enter Elysium, only here to come to agreement with Norns - possibly change Atreus' fate, or both their fates or even the fate of all 9 realms - sort of a sacrifice. Ultimate Kratos' act, ultimate act of redemption even more important than giving power of Hope to destroyed Greece. That were my 2 cents.

When I wanna watch a break down video this is where I wanna come to you broke it down so hard you make my back feel funny

7:48 by the way, it's worth noting the blue portal like thing before the soldier attacks, as well as the fact that Mimir is missing from Kratos's hip.

Odin's first line to Atreus, "I'm gonna make a suggestion, which might help you out, but I don't want this gesture to be mistaken for an indication that I like you."

I think besides atreous's powers manifesting, he is figuring out some of the messages his mother left and some of her goals. hence why he's keeping secrets and asks kratos to just trust him.

You sound like a kind person. I really liked your video. Liked and subscribed.

You just earned a sub. Nice content 👌

Awesome breakdown,i am counting down the days till it comes out,preordered it and already took week off to play 😄

Great video! You've earned a subscriber! 😁🥰

I hope the theory videos talk about how Odin is going to manipulate Atreus like we red in the leaked art book page. it says Kratos and Odin is fighting for the soul of Atreus.

I think the fight with thor happens early on the game, Odin planed so he can have a chance to talk with atreus

Fantastic breakdown man

Another thing. I've heard around and from ign too that all that we've seen in the trailer is from the first 5 hours of the game!! So that that fight takes place early on most likely. But it's insane tho if true, so much stuff in only the first 5 hrs🤯🤯

I'm I the only one that keeps hearing this channels narrator saying "Curtis" when he's referring to Kratos? haha 🤣

That's some quality content, easy sub💯🔥

Great breakdown 👍🏾

new sub. lovin' this video bro

Another well put together and insightful video, well done 👍🏼 I got goosebumps watching that trailer I’m so hyped for this game….GoW 2018 is the one and only Platinum trophy I own, Ragnarok will be the second

Big bless for the 5k

I sub ❤ amazing breakdown

Good work bro

Great video and breakdown. The way you pronounce Kratos sounds so much like Curtis which reminded me of Cory Barlogs interview with gameinformer in 2018 😂

Been waiting for this let's goo!

Interesting thoughts and theories you have there. I am looking forward to playing this game

Good work brother❤️

14:28 how is this version of the soundtrack called ? It is not the original Version , isn´t it?

Excellent video

Great video I think the fight between thor and kratos is a little bit earlier in the game due to him having the old byfrost on his hip, and some earlier scene show him having a newer byfrost that the dwarves most likely constructed

Something else i noticed with Tyrs quotes is that aside from proving that tyr does indeed know WHO kratos is he doesn't know WHY he is here. Basically Tyr didn't expect kratos to show up, given how much Tyr was around the giants and other places (Greece, Egypt, etc.) surely he could've figured out that kratos would show up...but he didn't, I feel like this backs up the idea of kratos breaking prophecies and generally "breaking" the rules, starting ragnarok early, defying his fate in Greece. So although many story beats may come out the same like they normally would in the ragnarok myth the ending may be different because of Kratos' knack for defying prophecies and fate

Love the analysis here, only gets me more hyped for the game!

This was great breakdown really hyped me for the game

Kratos : I am gathering a crew to invade assgard Tyr : you son of bitch I am In

I liked everything about the trailer. If I have 1 criticism it would be the voice actors for Tyr and Odin. I was hoping for more deeper voices not Kratos deep, but a serious voice. Tyr to me kinda sounds like a squeaker and Odin doesn't sound menacing at all, but besides that trailer was amazing. I hope we get a lot of boss fight's and see more Norse God's than what we expected. I would like to see Hel, Sif, Njord and Skadi.

Subscribed Bro

Great video , question at the end of the trailer when Kratos is fighting Thor. Would ou say it's first Thor encounter or more advance in the again where u fought him already it could be 2nd or 3rd ?

Nice breakdown

Man!! Your Content Is Just ⚡🔥 , Subbed Immediately , This Channel Is Really Worth It.

When Kratos stand before the light of Alfheim, are we sure that he plans to go in or that Atreus has gone into the light and asked him to wait outside.

I like that you punctuated on the axe being created to rival the power of of Thor’s hammer. It’s dropped subtlety a couple of times but I feel it’s over looked a bit. Your literally wielding one of the only weapons made by the same dwarfs that can handle the hammers power output. 🤙🏻🥶

Incredible video good work. I liked your video more than captain kuba's breakdown

Liked and subscribed

Excellent video! I am sooo excited for this game. Two more months 😍

The type of video that brings everybody around the fire

great Job Brother

good job brother

The fight with Thor, if u see the bifrost Kratos has is the one we have now but some other moments in the trailer he has a different one which probably means that the Thor fight is somewheres in the beginning of the game

I watched the trailer many times and never noticed thor using his fingers to recall the hammer. Good Catch

10:53 I actually really like this theory. Maybe Atreus told them to stop chasing as a way of "defying fate" but along the way realized it was better to let the events to put the prophecy in motion rather than postpone them. Maybe it's not such a bad theory!! ;)

Honestly Kratos dying might be a way to bring him into either Valhalla or Helheim to wreck havoc there aswell, similarly to how he destroyed Hades.

Omg I want that music at the end of the video can someone tell me the name please

I just want to note that when the Leviathan Axe meets with Thor's hammer it breaks the ice beneath them.

Seems you have passed that goal! Well done!

When the camera angle turns in the last scene with thor in the trailer you can also see a similair portal on the mountain to warp just like the last game 2:39/2:40

As if you don't even have 5k subs bro!!! Subbed and liked, you deserve so many more

You can see in some parts of the trailer that Kratos has a new bifrost, but during the fight with Thor it's the old one so people think it's toward the beginning of the game

Can you post the music playing in the end of the video ? (:

Cool vid man. I think Atrues is holding the secret that he knows Kratos fate (he's going to die) not knowing that Kratos also knows.

I'm curious to see if the mermaid is actually ran, who is the goddess and personification of the sea. she and her 9 children are the closest thing we have to any siren/mermaid figures in norse mythology.

You can see red particles when kratos looks like he is stunned. After a battle , maybe Atreus had one of those rage moments

when odin comes to visit, it may be in atreus' dream the same way thor came

Waited for your video on this trailer!!! And where is jormungandr😤😤😤

After seeing this trailer these next 54 days are gonna be rough . I want it now!!!

12:40 I Think That King Jelly Fish Is Flying

The valkyries are named Hrist (not Hirst, Hrist is the name of the actual valkyrie in myth) and Mist if you check the subtitles in languages other than English. Mist is the one that says "For the Allfather!", while Hrist is the one that says "Pretender god!"

What if the scene where Kratos is standing in front of the light leads directly to the scene where he drops his weapons in the house? Implying he is surrendering them for his wife..

Sounds like you're saying Curtis instead of Kratos. No beef, it just made me LoL imagining Kratos fully embracing dadhood, and changing his name to Curtis 😂😂😂

The monster that Kratos held down for Atreus to shoot with his arrow is the same Croc-like creature that Jump grabbed Kratos in the Previous Trailer. Just a point to note

I believe the tor fight is close to the end but not the end because if this the last game in norse wouldnt they have to fight fenrir to end ragnarok?

Great content. Keep it up! One tip I'd give is extending your videos to 10 minutes. It's a great length for all the reasons of growth and watchtime.
