God of War 3 Remastered (PS5) - Kratos Vs. Hercules Boss Fight (4K 60FPS) 

The fact that Hercules thought he stood a chance against Kratos even after Kratos has killed Poseidon,Hades and many more god's is kind of stupid..............

9:18 "Think hercules, think! How can I be Zeus's favourite when he tried to kill me"

You know what amazed me? The fact that the Olympians knew damn well what Kratos was capable of after 5 chronological games, yet CONTINUED to piss him off. Mimir was right. They definitely had it coming.

It never ceases to amaze me, that he was the ONLY opponent that he talked as if theye were on even ground. Not a single god is called "brother" by Kratos, only Hercules. Guess it's because of him honoring only real strenght and a warrior's spirit. Nice detail.

Hera hates both Kratos and Hercules for being Zeus's bastard sons.

Here is a unique moment in Kratos’ life where he is willing to let a god walk away without a fight. He told Hercules that it’s not between them. Even went so far as to call him ‘brother’ something he never says to any other son of Zeus

I low-key want atreus to see this with his own eyes.

I’ll see y’all in 50 yrs when God Of War 3 rerererereremastered comes out for the PS15

*The musical score in this game is insanely underrated* And the music is still EPIC in 2024 :D

Hercules and Thor are the two characters I wish I could have seen Kratos team up with to fight the big bad in the end. In all seriousness, taking lore into account, Hercules would have probably hated Zeus as much as Kratos did and its a shame we couldn't see them work together.

9:18 Kratos: "You want to die for the Olympus? Fine. What's 8 more years? I can always start again! Slay another pantheon."

Man if these two teamed up. Kratos & Hercules!? That would be a badass duo.

1:18 - face of man who fears no one.

"The air on Olympus affects your thinking" is probably my favourite line in gow 3

I think out of all of them, Hercules's death is the most tragic. Kratos and Hercules had the most in common, including both being human, both having been turned mad by the gods to kill their own family, and both being admirable warriors and heroes who respected one another. He could have been Kratos's greatest ally, but in the end, the gods did what they do best: turn kin against each other.

8:06 Holy shit, he actually bamboozled you there

Hera is enjoying this fight because she's watching both if Zeus's Illegitimate children fight to the death.

I can't believe they got Kevin Sorbo, THE HERCULES from the TV show, to voice this Hercules

hercules: uses armor also hercules: ArMoR iS fOr WeAkLiNgS

Every time I see kratos in this scene it gets me motivated to workout

2:16 “A fierce Warrior. A Killer made Hero. A Man made a God” is so tough

9:19 Kratos - 2020 Hercules - me

He made hercules' face look like bacon then gets smacked by a default drug dealer.

The fact that Kratos beat Hercule’s head until his brains were showing is truly terrifying.

Kratos' reaction at 1:53 gets me every time

Hercules failed the 1st rule: Never show your back to the enemy

8:21 aw look at them spending time together

2:05 three generations have failed to serve him wine

6:48 the Best timing i have seen

Herc: you're Zeus' favorite Kratos: bro, Zeus literally killed me in the last game

I want a mod where the Greek gods are replaced with Disney's representation.

This fight stands out to me because it’s the only time Kratos gave someone a chance to back down. He gave Hercules so many chances! Probably because Hercules has suffered the same way (killing of one’s own family in anger due to trickery by the gods) What if the brothers could have banded together instead 😂?

8:50 serious table flip

Kratos was wild. 9:27 hit #15 caved in his entire face 😳

One of the best games of all time. I played it at least 30 times and I still wanna play it again. Legendary.

Fun fact: The air on Olympus in fact did affect his thinking.

6:47 I love how Hercs counter punch syncs up perfectly with the soundtrack.

Kratos: I seek the music app, Pandora. Hera: Pandora? That wretched little app my son Hephaestus created?

1:19 Cannot get over how great this shot is. Kratos is just so perfectly framed

7:32 you didn't give Hercules a chance to breath 🤣🔥

1:18 that look 🔥🔥🔥

When Hercules stood out of that tunnel, sent chills throughout my body in excitement. And i fanboyed fiercely when I heard his voice. Kevin Sorbo killed it with the character.

I couldn't help but face palm when he turned his back and said "Do you see how he trembles?" Like why would you turn your back while fighting kratos?

This boss is epic for so many reasons 1. Kratos isn’t even sure if he can beat Hercules and tries his hardest to convince him there’s no point in fighting 2. During the final phase of Hercules, it literally looks like an older and younger brother fighting😂 3. The look on Hercules face when he’s pinned down and knows he’s screwed

Just learnt today that Hercules was voiced by Kevin Sorbo, and I was not DISAPPOINTED !!

7:09 that timing tho Edit: what if Heracles had the hydra blood arrows from the myth in this fight or even the nemean lion’s hide?

The way Kratos stares Hercules down.

Hercules looks like Hulk with human skin

7:18, dude i don't know why but this part here, i know it wasnt intended and maybe im just overthinking it but it was such a perfect sync, Hercules was confident that he could beat Kratos, the music was with him, the trumpets showing all his might, and bam, Kratos take his gauntles. "Final-" before he even finish the phrase Kratos start punching him, the music then changes to Kratos theme and so Hercules comes to his senses. He's alone now, all his minions are gone, Hera who was enjoying the show was also gone, no one's coming to help him, the only thing left was trying to take down Kratos, he fails and Kratos keeps punching and besting him, he starts panicking and tries to throw him off the Forum many times but fails, only to see his last moments witnessing his brother's rage while being punched to death, when you see things in Hercules perspective, it's really a scary feeling

The detail when Hercules is getting his head smashed in is grisly

This is one of the most iconic God of war/Kratos moments in all of the games ever made even the most current and whatever’s next. His interaction w Hera from “Bravo. Bravo.” to “Destroy him.”, Hercules showing up, us finding out that they are brothers was cool asf you can’t lie, the awesome fight, godly music, and brutal murder of Herc

Hercules and Kratos really are a lot alike. 1. Both are Zeus' illegitimate sons. (Who isn't?) 2. Both killed their own families in a blind madness induced by a god. (Hera and Ares) 3. Both were cursed and had to perform impossible deeds. 4. Both are warriors. 5. Both made it to Olympus. Probably a lot more I'm forgetting...

I came exactly for a screenshot of 9:10. I'm happy.

I can imagine someone making a mod if Kratos vs. Thanos.

7:15 The lesson which we all learned was protect yourself at all times

I gotta admit, Heracles deserves some respect for his perseverence

1:53 I never noted till now that Krator raised his eyebrow 🤨

1:24 When you get home and see your brother

Let's be honest, God of War is one of those games where the storyline is more fun then the gameplay

seroisly this game is 10 years old still its relevant now that is why god of war is not legendary its a masterpiece that convinced to buy playstation

Kratos knocked the gauntlets off of him.

The fact that Kevin Sorbo voiced Hercules blew my mind and felt nostalgia!

Hercules really thought he could defeat Kratos, he thought he could beat the guy who was able to withstand the fingers of Atlas, even Chronos.

You know the end is near when 7:44 starts playing

What a way for the legendary Hercules to go, LITERALLY beaten to a pulp!

The music is so on point when Kratos takes Hercules gloves tho, I can’t get over how dope that shit is it..

I used to think Hercules was stronger in the beginning when he had an army. However given that all his army consists of the weak minions that can be grabbed with O he is actually stronger when he is by himself because it is very easy to inflict a lot of damage on him by running into him using his own warriors.

2:48 "I'll destroy you,brother!" *Jumps out of combat and sends minions after Kratos*

The size of Hercules is incredible, imagine standing infront of him.

Imagine if Hercules didn't have an ego

6:06 that was perfectly timed

Man even after all these years...game still looks and plays amazing!

You know damn well Heimdall probably saw all this when Mimir was telling Kratos “Brother, this isn’t who you want to be” Kratos recalled his past sins and Heimdall with his foresight saw it all. This included

Kratos voice actor is amazing, he has so much bass in his voice

Hercules: Hello... Brother! 1:23 Chills 👀

7:40 I love how after Hercules throws Kratos against the railing Kratos's music kicks in like he got mad with that throw

5:59 "Armor is for WEAKLINGS" literally Hercules: *wears armor*

9:26 this should be allowed in the ufc

Hercules: Am I my brothers keeper? Kratos: Yes I AM!!!!

check the detail of the music during the first part of the fight is "the glory of sparta" but after getting the Cestus the background music changes to "the rage of sparta"

I like how, the moment Kratos gets the Cestus, it turns less into a fight and more into a man trying to survive the killing machine that is the God of War.

Good to see the gow community is still alive and well.

I like how Hera was enjoying the show.

8:55 "Not falling down this goddamn mountain again!"

1:19 my man Kratos posing like mike Tyson 😂😂😂

Hera would murder Zeus's Illegitimate children in Greek Mythology.

Idk why, I just like the way he says “Nemean Lion”

I like the voice effect they did for Hercules, his voice sounds naturally like it's coming from the lungs of a giant man.

There are moments in a game that feel special. Where you realize suddenly that what you are doing is awesome both in gameplay and as a narrative. Where you get completely immersed and lose yourself in the moment. That is truly the best feeling when playing a game. When everything in the world disappears except the game that you are playing. In Doom 2016 it happened in arenas while fighting hordes of enemies with the dynamic music that changes depending on how good you play. It happened for me in dmc 5 while getting and holding stylish ratings. I realize how important music is in combination with great gameplay and setting. The same happened while fighting hercules and the music built up towards the part at 4:10. As this is the mid point of the game (i think) you have gotten better at the game. There are a lot of enemies and you need to use all your skills and weapons to defeat them, all while fighting hercules at the same time. Playing well, destroying everyone around me while hearing the best part of this theme was an amazing experience. And the immersion that is so important.

Hercules has insane durability, and stamina. All jokes aside about him getting mopped, the guy took more of a beating than anyone else before him and still kept going.

That punch sounded harder than anything else 7:17

8:11 Nobody: Chiropractors on tiktok:

The Virgin Chad versus the Gym Jockey

My mum whenever I come down the stairs: 0:25

God of war 3 graphics have aged very well for a PS3 game. It was ahead of its time

Im looking at the designs of everyone in gow and I keep forgetting that this entire pantheon is literally built on a foundatation of hardcore incest more messed up then any particular state family in america

Legendary 10 years old game. Also Hercules voice is awesome and the musics are great.

The only Hercules I will ever acknowledge Thank you Kevin Sorbo for lending your voice.

This old god of war is more cool than the new one to me

wow he defeated god of strength with strength A M A Z I N G
