So the ravens are actually children sacrificed by Odin to be his spies. And the method is by hanging them from the world's tree, like he did, and reshaping their souls into ravens. The new father and mother they mentioned are Odin and The Raven Keeper, since they took them from their original parents. There's really no limit to Odin's depravity.

Just a note. If you finish this side-quest before the final Ragnarok mission, you'll get an extra line where the Ravens rejoice over the death of the Keeper, and then request you to bash Odin's head in for what he did to them.

Sheesh you can tell even with Kratos' gruff and stoic voice he got shaken by the true nature of the ravens.

Kratos as a father knowing the pain of a deceased child but even more knowing having played a part in the death of his child. It sickened him that people would sacrifice their children via hanging...it's no wonder he was legitimately pissed off with the Raven keeper. Along with the bit of mournful dialog asking is there nothing he can do for them. He really has come a far way from what he was in Greece.

This story quest definitely makes me feel better about sniping Odin's ravens, freeing their souls rather than killing his messengers as a way to stop his surveillance.

For all those who said Odin wasnt a bad guy, just thirsty for knowledge, its very obviously that not only was Odin blood thirsty for knowledge and power, he was also positively insane, anyone and everything was a means to him obtaining his goal. Wonder what he saw in the void that drove him so batshit crazy.

"Mummy and daddy / Tied the noose tight / To send us to Odin / To bask in his light" "We tried to escape / We clawed, we screeched / But nothing escapes / The Keeper's reach" Holy _shit,_ that is horrific even for this series.

Man... When Kratos asked Mimir how they would find the Raven Keeper, there's a... silent and subtle hint of rage there. Do you all feel it? As if he's upset to find out that... Those children were sacrificed by their parents, by a noose. Only for their souls to be taken by the Raven Keeper and used by Odin as a tool... When Kratos stated "They WILL find her", the rage in his voice, grows... Such a beautiful performance and experience told by Games...

The tortured words of the ravens just sent chills down my spine. Just a few words and I’m John Wick for them.

At 3:10 you can hear clearly how kratos "yes" is slightly shaken when hear what the raven says, illustrating his disbelief of how savage Odin was as a god

3:32 dame the anger you can hear hidden in his words. As a parent who was tricked and forced into killing his daughter one of the two things that actually gave him joy in life. Then losing another in Pandora, and nearly losing Atreaus wile he was sick. I’m sure his blood was boiling with pure rage at the very thought that a parent could and would willingly sacrifice their child in such a vile manner, a rope around their neck, and more around their wrists, wile they cried and begged, all for the All Father. Nothing but a manipulative bastardization of the title of god

The horrified "Yes" from Kratos when the Ravens reveal how they died is insane voice acting. Spot on.

"Did they just say what I think they did?" Kratos:....yes 😮

Just worth noting for anyone who cares about the actual mythology- while the greeks and romans despised Human Sacrifice and thought is abominable (The Romans still *did it* occasionally, mind you, before anyone springs to their defense), the Norse peoples absolutely made Human Sacrifices to their gods, and we have stories of Odin receiving them in particular, recreating his death by being hanged and stabbed with a spear simultaneously and tying into an odd theme where he sacrifices himself *to himself* for power and knowledge more than once in the mythology. It's to the point that the actual mythical death of Baldr, being stabbed with mistletoe, something ordinarily harmless, weirdly lines up with being a potential sacrifice to Odin in some context we don't understand entirely because the myths we know are too fragmentary, incomplete, and too much the dregs of what survived centuries of christianization for us to get a clear picture of the faith people actually believed in. All of that's to say: People being sacrificed to Odin and used by him for power might be one of the most accurate parts of his characterization in this game, though nothing I'm aware of makes it sound like anyone sacrifice *children*. For all the creative liberties Santa Monica took with the mythology to tell the story they wanted to tell, this bit that seems like an example of exaggeration of what a sick bastard he was might actually be one of the more accurate traits they gave him, though it was by no means unique to Odin in the mythology. Thor got a good deal of human sacrifice as well.

If Kratos is disturbed by something you did, you know it's bad.

The way Kratos repeats “Swung from the tree”… it sounds like he knows what the Ravens are referring to, but he’s hoping that’s not the case.

3:01 this scene sure was eerie and disturbing really putting into perspective on how brutal odin was in his thrist for knowledge...had kratos shook

Really makes Odin's speech about worshipers hit different

Okay so the Raven Keeper is a secret boss.. maybe that's not the only one unless there is more hidden secret bosses no one hasn't uncovered yet..

3:11 Kratos's "Yes" Is so chilling. This is one of the darkest side quests in the game.

We WILL find her. I heard the dad side of kratos in that line. I'm surprised Freya didn't mention anything though. Still that hanging kids part is fucked up

this side story for the ravens is so depressing, poor kids... "swung from the tree" has a whole meaning now

When kratos said "swung from the tree" his voice faltered a bit

Poor feather babies! Did anyone else notice that the ravens sounded distressed when the Ravenkeeper popped up? They sound happy again once you defeat her, but I feel so bad for them.

And just like that, my respect for this game has actually increased. But seriously, poor kids. I hope Odin's suffering was particularly something that broke him.

I seriously wish there was a cutscene where the Old Kratos comes back and goes full madness mode on the Raven Keeper, just from his sheer rage of her misdeeds on the poor children’s souls.

You would've thought the Raven Keeper would have a more unique model than just a Revenant

Maaaaaybe I'm reading to much, but I'm noticing something interesting behind these weapons. The blades of chaos represent his anger, the ax his attempt to isolate and hide what he was behind the cold, the spear his acceptance of what he is, his past, and his responsibilities.

After finishing this vid, those random child noise raven make when they weren't speaking in unison hit real different when you are alone at night😨

Okay but imagine Kratos and Freya adopting all these raven children. Like, imagine Atreus coming home for a visit and he opens the door and gods know how many ravens staring at him before they start going "BROTHER HAS RETURNED" ((Yes i already commented here before, but i just want to share this dumb thought that popped into my head))

That is somehow the most cruel thing Odin's ever done

A small thing I'd like to mention is that Loki says he can't hear the birds. The only other time this occurs is when he can't hear the thoughts of the beasts in Iron Wood when their souls were taken. It's very possible that Odin, and furthermore the Raven Keeper, knew some sort of spell similar to spirit weaving. Hence why the Raven spirits are stuck in nifelheim instead of going to alfheim even after death.

4:00 raven keeper: complains Freya: I don’t give a shit

What they said ‘new father/new mother’ I thought they meant kratos and Freya. If so they have ALOT of kids to take care of now

You know you did something absolutely horrifying when even the ghost of sparta, a( guy who killed others in unimagenably painfull ways before), is absolutely shaken by it

glad to see that they maked the eyes favor actually usefull in this game

I want to believe that If Kratos knew this about Odin in the first place, he would have skipped all the ''Let's try peace'' stuff and go straight for murder the first time the Allfather walked in his house

So 3:03 implies those ravens are actually the spirits of children who were probably sacrificed to appease the Aesir or at least Odin and Odin took advantage of these free souls he had control over and formed them into his spies aka the Ravens.

We told what we saw / Empowered his lies / Good little ravens / Good little spies THAT LINE HITS SI HARD FOR SOME REASON

1:48 kratos and freya running so close to each other hahahaha

I absolutely loved this side quest. Main reason being is this whole finding the ravens, bringing them back for the individual rewards, just for the ravens/dead children souls to turn around and tell you some absolutely horrific shit was so fun. And it was a great way of giving context to odins actions in a way that is genuinely horrifying giving you the perspective of these kids. It’s also the fact that there’s no music, noises or really anything in Nifilheim. It’s dead silent for every sound besides what the ravens tell you and the way it echos is so creepy knowing they’re literally just dead children just makes it even more unsettling. Great quest, I love how when the ravens finally mention how they’re turned into ravens, even kratos is held aback by how bleak the situation is.

Can you imagine the conflicts that went on in the households of these children? One parent wanting this sacrifice, the other at least less than sure, or both fanatics, at some point regretting their actions or so turning their souls towards this goal that they erased any remaining humanity? I wonder if some of them weren't condemned to return as Hel-Walkers and such. It's not hard to imagine their recently-dead-souls pleading to Odin for Valhalla, and him sneering: "Aren't you those child murderers? Why would I permit you to dine and drink with heroes?" I've heard that DLC is unlikely, but one I can imagine is a quest to somehow let these children, and Brok, and all others denied their afterlife peace, move on. Maybe something located in ruined or rebuilding Greece?

Would be awesome if they make Odin or Thor playable as DLC like they did with Zeus they fight monsters and defend Asgard from invaders

Amazing how this went from pointless gathering sidequest. To armor set gathering. To righteous fucking fury completion.

Just killed the Raven Keeper last night before bringing Ragnarok to Odin. Dialogue was different. Somewhere along the lines they said "gut him Kratos" Man This side quest was dark and sad. Got a little mad and almost cried. A few hours away from burning down Asgard.

I’ll say this, you’ll have some most cold blooded killers but when it comes to hearing crimes against children. They get sick they would never ever hurt a child

Knowing the lore of Odin’s ravens oh God I am glad, that this is my first playthrough because. I haven’t fought Odin yet and boy oh boy, I’m going to enjoy smashing his face in with my fist. There’s one thing that gets under my skin it is killing children!

Like the Father of All / We swung from the tree / Wisdom, gained Father / Servitude, gained We. A gift of life / A gift in death! / To smother forever / the All-Father's breath! New Father / New Mother / New fate -----/ to suffer In life we hanged / In death, we kneeled / Until you freed us / With your steel Our souls transformed / Our minds remained / until those too / perverted became We told what we saw / Empowered his lies / Good little ravens / Good little spies We are of one mind / United by pain / Longing for a world / We shall not see again Our lives cut short / Souls sinking deeper / until gathered up / by the Raven Keeper Mummy and Daddy / Tied the noose tight / To send us to Odin / To bask in his light We tried to escape / We clawed, we screeched / but nothing escapes / The Keeper's reach There we have it. The story of the Ravens. The spirits of children, sacrificed by their own parents to Odin by a ritual hanging, meant to emulate his feat of mystic suicide. The part about souls sinking deeper implies that either they never reached Odin, or he even might have simply rejected the souls and condemned them to the Lake of Souls. Probably where the Raven Keeper stepped in, spoke to Odin about using these lost souls for something ""useful"". The children were then forcefully brainwashed and enslaved and reshaped into obedient Raven spies, controlled by Odin and the Raven Keeper. Only Kratos killing the ravens freed their souls of servitude, but the fact that their souls remain in this place instead of passing on implies some kind of inability to move on; I feel like these children have suffered enough that they would move on if they could. So here they remain, in their tree, which appears to be in the middle of a fucking frozen wasteland. Countless spirits of dead and tormented children.

Reminder that in original Norse mythos, Odin is a trickster but not a terrible dude. Nope instead he's a massive nerd that loves to troll Thor

From 3:24 to 3:31 That line weirdly reminds me of a scene from the movie "Coraline" where the main character Coraline was talking to the ghost children

That’s something that would’ve disgusted Kratos in his younger years, the man may have been a brutal monster but at least he never willingly killed children(as far as I can recall) he may have been tricked or apathetic but he’d never have tolerated that. I like to think that the Raven keeper boss was one of the hardest in the game but the Ghost of Sparta came out to play so the game has canon reason for the boss being on easy mode

3:33 Kratos about to go back to his old ways

Man dad mode kratos is much more scary then normal kratos

I was always disturbed by them… but when they said… but the more they spoke the more I felt pity for them… until these verses… “Mummy and daddy tied the noose right, to send us to Odin to bask in his light” “We tried to escape, we crawled we screeched, but nothing escapes the keeper’s reach”… This was when my pity and sadness turned to horror.

I love how much he has changed. When it comes to kids Kratos does not play.

It makes sense Breath of Thamur and Meteoric Slam are a global side quest reward, those two runics were spelling doom in the first game

When I heard the story behind the Ravens, I knew I had to get them all. Hearing Kratos be a bit heartbroken for a second, I knew I had to. Used a guide and all. 6:58 Why does Freya go, "Sure, why not." Kinda weird to have dialogue like that there.

8:40 I'm not sure if Kratos can bust that move.

Technically the raven keeper didn’t steal souls, she used the souls of children that were given to Odin even if it was against the childrens will, they even say Mummy and daddy Tied the noose tight To send us to Odin To bask in his light We tried to escape! We clawed We screeched But nothing escapes The Keepers reach

This is possibly the darkest thing I've heard Odin did, and he's done a lot of f'd up things. I'm glad he's in the dirt now where he belongs

I love how the Voice of the Ravens speaks "The Raven Keeper" with nothing but utter hatred. She must have tortured and twisted them for years, the poor things.

knocking down the dragon with the spear throw was some fiiiiine sht my friend

You can see clearly that kratos is disturbed by the nature of the ravens

Odin reminds of the Crowfather from Darksiders 2

This game has so much fucking story behind it no matter where you go I just love they made even side missions seem so relevant

I was wondering if Odin would be as evil as Zeus, especially since Zeus was actually corrupted by the Evils from Pandora's Box so he was made even worse than he originally was (it's the Greek Gods, they were already pretty awful before the Box was opened, it just made it far worse). I got more than what I was expecting.

3:12 You can hear Kratos break a little after learning that the Ravens were child sacrifices.

During the previous game I kept wondering who would be the Raven's keeper who appeared in scrolls, it's cool to see they remembered this plot point here

If I've only knew this, I would not ignore them in my travels in the first game 😭

Soooo, Odin was a menace, not only for his children but all children in the realms,too.

Well that was darker than I thought it would be

Kratos: "Ravens. Sing me a bedtime story." Ravens: "There one was a man from Nantucket/"

them ravens sound like pride, and a bit like the dwarf in the flask. if you know, you know

Ravens: "Mommy and Daddy" Kratos and Mimir:👁️👄👁️

So while Zeus was basically Uber fucked the moment Pandora’s box was opened and he decided to go mental on Kratos, seems like Odin stared too deep into the void and blinked if he was doing shit like this

Odin was feared, so the Midgardians sacrificed their children to appease him. Odin employed a Revenant, made them in charge of turning children souls into ravens. The Revenant was not happy, after all it must have been tremendous effort to even produce one but it had no choice but to obey the All-Father. Odin used these transformed souls, to twist them into his tools. Not even their minds are safe from his perversions, vulgarities and depravities. Odin spared no one and made use of every resource he could to. He only looked out for himself.

Wow and I thought I couldn’t hate Odin even more

The ravens sound exactly like the zoni from rachet and clank a crack in time.

5:05 did freya just kratos punch a helwalker?😭

Wish the story had delved more into Odin's Raven King persona.

"The Pale One" looks like Spyro in Monster Hunter style.

That's the most cool and twisted thing I've ever seen a villain do.....

wow, the ravens are the souls of dead children. Odin in this universe is bat shit insane

Oh, damn. The ravens' poetic speeches give me the chills down my spine.

Welp this is going on the list of f*ck up sh*t involving Odin

"Mummy and daddy / Tied the noose tight / To send us to Odin / To bask in his light" Sounds more like the children were sacrificed to Odin by their own parents.

God, just when I think Odin couldn't more of a sick bastard this shows up. The title savage and cruel God isn't good enough, it implies he still has good in him. He's nothing a dark Abyss with no bottom or end, even monsters and animals draw a line somewhere.

I think... When the Ravens said "New father, New Mother. New fate to suffer" they thought Kratos and Freya would use them just as the Keeper and Odin have done before.

To horrify even Kratos with his actions, that slow yes shows how he just realized how evil Odin was.

I think this is darker part of the game, I really f*cking hate Odin

"Swung from the tree? What could that mean?" Smartest god ever, people.

When the raven keeper appeared i saw kratos walk forward i half expected him to smack her in the face like some badass interactable cutscene since the raven really isnt all that powerfull

(1) Like the father of all/ We swung from the tree / Wisdom, gained father/ Servitude, gained we (2) A gift of life/ A gift in death/ To smother forever/ The All-Father’s Breath! (3) New father/ New Mother / New fate - to suffer. (4) In life we hanged/ In death, we kneeled/ Until you freed us/ With your steel (5) Our souls transformed/ Our Minds remained/ until those too/ perverted became (6) We told what we saw / Empowered his lies / Good little ravens / Good little spies. (7) We are of one mind/ United by pain/ Longing for a world/ We shall not see again (8) Our lives cut short / souls sinking deeper / until gathered up / by the Raven Keeper. (9) Mummy and daddy / Tied the noose tight / To send us to Odin / To bask in his light. (10) We tried to escape / Us clawed, we screeched/ But nothing escapes/ The Keeper’s reach. (11) Mother and father/ Perished at last/ Finally now/ Our anguish may pass. *BREAKDOWN* (1) The ravens tell they were made by a ritual by being hung from a tree like how Odin. However where Odin gained wisdom and the ravens where enslaved. (2) The ravens tell desire to gift Kratos with the tools necessary to kill their enslaver: Odin the All-Father (3) The ravens refer to Odin (new father) and Raven Keeper (new mother) whose union made use of them. (4) The Ravens tell how they were murdered by hanging, then kneeled to Odin’s will until Kratos frees them. (5) The ravens tell how their souls remained and their minds did for a time but then those became perverted and subservient to Odin. (6) The ravens tell of their function as spies for the All-Father. The ravens traverse the nine realms and serve as Odin’s eyes and ears. (7) This could be literal or figurative, given the ravens speak in unison its entirely possible they are a hive mind. They may also simply mean that they are all the same in that they suffered the same pain by hanging and were taken from the land of the living to serve in death. (8) The ravens tell how their souls being taken out of the Light, as souls sink into the light, by the Raven Keeper. Recall Sindri had to swim after Brokk’s soul and only got 3 of the 3 components. The Raven Keeper sifts up souls from the light after the children are murdered in Midgard. (9) The ravens tell how their parents ritualistically murdered them by hanging to send them to Odin. Given fimbulwinter it’s entirely possible that these children would have starved otherwise, and the families were persuaded by Odin to do this, and he’d show benevolence and give them a place in his paradise. It is also entirely possible the Raven Keeper did this wholly on her own, but Odin has a silver tongue so its more than likely given his propensity for manipulation that he orchestrated the whole ordeal especially given what we learn in game how with the Midgardians in Asgard he used them as a meat shield from invading forces. (10) The ravens tell that this may refer to either the children writhing in pain in the noose as they hang to death or that as souls in the Light they attempted to flee but they were captured by the Raven Keeper and enslaved. (11) The ravens tell of the death of the Raven Keeper (mother) and Odin (father) and that they are at peace. However, it is likely they will not be able to return to the Light and be put to rest due to the corruption of their soul states. Even Kratos ponders if they are free and Mimir says at most from Odin’s influence and when concluded Kratos ask if more could be done and Freya says they’ve done what they can. So like Brokk it’s entirely possible these children will never know rest in the afterlife due to Odin’s enslavement and the Raven Keepers fanaticism.

Gotta love the big man K, realised that they were kids, and it was the Raven Keeper that was at fault, and the first thing he wanna do is "meet" her.

Kratos was clearly unnerved by this “yes…” at 3:10

I didn't know the deeper lore behind this when I did this. That's crazy what Odin did

during the fight with Odin Atreus shot Huginn and Freya broke Muninn's neck, surprising after Asgard was destroyed Huginn manage to survive

thats some deep dark tish. i liked it. bit of a morbid curiosity here.

It's harrowing and downright heart sinking to learn the true identity of the Ravens. Now I feel bad for shooting them down like pests in this and the previous game. Odin, like Zeus, is truly a God that deserves no redemption and have no redeeming qualities. It is funny how both Odin and Zeus are both dominated by Fear, causing them to be evil. Zeus being fearful of someone overthrowing and killing him, and thus all his actions throughout the games. Even before Pandora's Box was opened, Zeus was already fearful and paranoid of being overthrown, akin to a jealous mad king that thinks everybody is after his throne. It is just that after the Box opened, his fear and paranoia soared to new heights after all the evils are released. Odin on the other hand, is fearful of the unknown. He wants to know everything from past, present and future just so as to be in control of everything, akin to a control freak.
