Odin Knows Who Blew the Horn - God of War Theory 

This is a very good point and I believe they put Atreus calling Jormungandr in the game for this very reason.

@@IronnGhost Thanks, I have my own theory for who blew the horn though it's a bit wild

The horn is used to get the world serpent attention he was already at the fight so he didn't need the horn to get his attention loki kouldnt be at home in the woods and kall him how would he hear him.?

@@sunnyjoe5459 Obviously Loki wouldn't attempt to call Jörmungandr from such a far distance, but once Loki is in close proximity to Jörmungandr he most likely wouldn't bother using the horn when the sound of his voice is just as effective.

@@joyboy2413 the horn is just get his attention it was storming and if it was him he would have had to shout giveing kratos a khance to maybe hear him.

That's what I think now.

Although it could be, but I don’t think the horn blower would be, his own mother.. just my 2 cents..

In norse mythology jorm is Loki's son(loki)

That seems the most logical answer.

Thanks for your ongoing support, I really appreciate it! I'm currently working on another GOW video format, alongside a completely different format separate from GOW. These should hopefully start releasing very soon!

I actually discussed the possibility of another Jormungandr in a video - as you mentioned the paradox. As for Atreus learning the language over the course of GOW 2018, he definitely learned a little, but he still has a long way to go. Also, (although it's never explicitly stated) the fact Atreus was able to communicate with Jormungandr (in the Baldur fight), was a result of his powers developing naturally. Rather than directly learning it from Jormungandr. Otherwise, he would've learned the tongue from Jormungandr fully by the end of the game. Not to mention (while I doubt the developers will strictly follow this rule) it's a little difficult to learn a language, without interpreting it through another language or through an interpreter - in this case, Mimir could act as one. But I wouldn't be surprised, as our timeline's Atreus ages, his nature itself allows him to speak the ancient tongue. Only time will tell! Great comment, I like these awesome ideas!

@@Xevnir Thank you for responding🙏❤

@@СофияАнаньева-ц5ю Thank you for dropping by! Means a lot!

interesting

He beat the shit Outta serpent a lot later after the horn was blown. And if baldur would've blown the horn then the serpent would've started fighting him and we didn't see anything like that when the horn was blown.

Thank you! Your support means more than the 9 realms!

Could be possible, maybe they believed this was the most vulnerable state to catch the father and son in?

@@Xevnir I have a theory I would like to share, if you wouldn't mind.

@@notsopleasantreview3625 Feel free to share it, would love to hear it!

@@Xevnir I believe Cory's explanation of the sky turning red when Atreus is sick was a nice play on words if im correct. He basically says the world is reacting to Atreus in this state. Ok, who cares deeply for Atreus, Kratos. I believe Kratos's uncontrolled rage has an impact on the world around him and its cleverly disguised. In Alfheim they are ambushed and Atreus is almost kidnapped The screen goes red and firery. He gets agitated when Atreus talks to Sindri in disgusting manner the sky turns red. Most importantly Atreus almost dies Kratos is in complete dispair losing almost all hope and purpose again. The distinction here is controlled rage vs uncontrolled, and that's is my arguement/theory. May be nothing but it is a theory. Or it could mean that time travel was involved and that there is a distant battle seeing how they (being Kratos's enemies) knew he would be vulnerable, anything really. Even the simplicity of Atreus being a god/giant himself.

@@notsopleasantreview3625 I really like this theory! I like how you referenced points in the story that could back it up. As for the screen turning red, I think that's strictly a UI element which ties in with the player immersion - to really "feel" Kratos' anger/frustration. Personally, I believe it has strictly to do with Atreus but if Kratos tied into it, I'm curious if the environment changing would be a combined effort of both father and son. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

How? Tyr is in captivity.

@@justsomeguy6336 time travel

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a bunch!

If that was Thor, they would've started fighting.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

It's possible, but I left it off in my theory because I believe the developers won't take the easy route when approaching how Atreus learned the language. Not to mention, Mimir deliberately didn't tell us about a detail that Jormungandr said. This is likely because he knows this would affect the prophecy - Mimir likely ties into the plan to some extent. Also, Mimir taught us nothing in the ancient tongue for the entire duration of our journey - again I believe this is because he knows he must not. So for me, learning the language from Mimir would contradict that idea. Not sure if this is anything more than to emphasise how long ago Mimir spoke in the ancient tongue, but he messed it up in the beginning. So maybe he isn't fluent in it? Also, I do believe Mimir is more valuable than ever with both Bifrost eyes now. As a result, Odin would want to steal him as it would be his key to Jotunheim. Possibly introducing an event within the story where he is absent for a part of our journey.

@@Xevnir Oh ok I was asking because in God of war lore and legends it gives a little bit of insight as to what the trio has been up to since they spread the ashes and Atreus said Mimir was helping him with some runes left by his mother for him to learn and some other languages

@@HouseofRedWine So I might be wrong, as it's easy to overlook. But from what I read, Mimir only helped organise Atreus' journal and specifically the timeline. Again, I might be missing something but if you can find the exact page let me know!

@@Xevnir alright I'll see if I can find it

Because if it is, the conflict with the Aesir just got a whole lot more complicated

@@D_MEISTER15 Really good observation! Because (from what I remember) Baldur tried to take Atreus AFTER the horn was blown + the Seidr protection rune was broken by then.

@@Xevnir yes, and baldur alluded that he knew Atreus was jotun as well by saying “you’re just meat, turns out the boy’s the brains”

Exactly my point. Meaning he almost certainly knows who blew the horn. Which has a vast amount of implications: does he know the outcome of Ragnarok in another timeline? How have Atreus powers developed? Who did he learn the tongue from? Most importantly, with this knowledge how can he affect the outcome in his own timeline? The point being, him being the leader of the Aesir makes this theory possible at all.

@@Xevnir look man I understand u trying to make your channel to grow more ok 👍 but one more thing why do u think 🤔 Odin want to take Atreus to Asgard he didn’t care about kratos at all I think 💭 maybe cause Odin knows that Atreus can kill him and he know he’s power as well right? Or no

@Youi T No, you're all good! I like discussing opposing ideas with others. Although I never said in my comment that Odin wants to take Atreus (or even Kratos). The whole basis of Baldur appearing at the start of GOW 2018, was to seek the last Jotunn as commanded by Odin. Why? Because Groa's Ragnarok prophecy states: the Jotnar are the deadliest threat to the Aesir. Hence, Thor went on his bloody rampage of wiping the entire race. Although unaware, that one still lived, therefore still a threat to the Aesir. As for Kratos. Lore and Legends mentions when Kratos arrived in Scandinavia, he triggered a winter. Odin feared this to be Fimbulwinter but to his relief, it died out. While never explicitly said, it seems to hint Kratos IS Ragnarok personified. This is why Odin sent Magni and Modi to kill Kratos. Combined, these two directly challenge not only the Aesir but Ragnarok itself. This is why trying to capture Atreus while his powers have not yet developed, would work well. It would separate Kratos from his son - his priority. A great opportunity for Odin to send the deadliest monster of all the realms: Thor.

@@Xevnir yeah but u know I like 👍 that Odin a lot cause he sent whoever he want 😂😂😂 he did send magni and modi and baldur and Thor I hope 🤞 kratos kill Thor we don’t know

@@MOE7CO Thor will be something else I sense...😰
