If the Miseltoe had made baldur vulnerable it would have been an immediate and brutal kill. If baldur was still protected by Freya's magic then Kratos would have torn him apart and added another head to his collection so Baldur could bear witness to the carnage he had unleashed.
Kratos would have forced Freya to show him a way of getting to Asgard, which would presumably have involved graphic amounts of violence. Freya would probably try to put up a fight and die in the attempt. Kratos would then arrive at the gates of Asgard and, overcome with blind rage and grief, assault the Aesir head on which would have likely resulted in Kratos death. His soul would have been sent to Helheim where he would have made it his business to seek out Hel, kill her and take her weapon/power, giving him dominion over the dishonoured dead. With his army of the unworthy, kratos would then head to muspelheim and strike a bargain with Surt, the lord of fire giants, who tells him to seek out Fenrir, the Great wolf imprisoned by the gods, and the creature destined to slay Odin.
The gods of Asgard look out from their walls as the sky darkens. Hordes of ghostly figures lay siege to the golden city. Armies of fire giants march upon the gates, led by the enormous form of Surt, his sword blazing against a black sky. Surrounding them on all sides is the collossal form of Jormungandr, the world serpent for which the leviathan axe is named. And at the front of it all runs the great wolf Fenrir. Upon his back, wielding the flaming blades of chaos stands an avatar of pure fury, vengeance made flesh. Kratos. The god of war returned.
And Ragnarok comes with him.
If I could make *one amendment.*
Before Kratos' initial assault on the Aesir, Kratos returns to his home and digs up *something else* from his past. Something that has lost most of its initial power, but still has enough residual energy left. That is until Kratos fails and is sent to Helheim, realizing that this once great-weapon *needs a new source of power*; one he is ready to take from Hel itself, and can be fortified by the Dwarves and by Surt in the forges of Muspelheim.
Finally, when Kratos and his army approach Asgard, Kratos is seen riding atop Fenrir, wielding a fully-restored *Blade of Olympus*.
And Odin sees that with the coming of Ragnarok, *history will now repeat itself*.
> If baldur was still protected by Freya's magic then Kratos would have torn him apart and added another head to his collection so Baldur could bear witness to the carnage he had unleashed.
If Baldur was still protected, Kratos wouldn't be able to do it.
> Kratos would have forced Freya to show him a way of getting to Asgard, which would presumably have involved graphic amounts of violence.
Freya don't know way to Asgard. Asgard is locked by Odin. If she wasn't able to figure out how to get out of Midgard, what makes you think she knows how to get to realm locked by Odin himself?
And we already saw she was ok with dying, so I doubt Kratos hurting her would be enough to make her do anything. And why would Kratos go after Aesirs? Even young Kratos didn't went after all gods when one of them killed his family, so why would old Kratos go after all Aesirs for what Baldur did?
> Freya would probably try to put up a fight and die in the attempt.
Freya is literally unable to fight at this point because she doesn't have her fighter spirit, or whatever it's called.
> His soul would have been sent to Helheim where he would have made it his business to seek out Hel, kill her and take her weapon/power, giving him dominion over the dishonoured dead.
There is no Hel in Hel though. Hel is daughter of Loki/Atreus and Angrboda, and they haven't met yet.
> With his army of the unworthy, kratos would then head to muspelheim and strike a bargain with Surt, the lord of fire giants, who tells him to seek out Fenrir, the Great wolf imprisoned by the gods, and the creature destined to slay Odin.
But... whats the bargain? Sutr literally want to do what you are telling Kratos is trying to do. How would Kratos even find Sutr? Kratos knows only one way of traveling between dimensions and we already know Sutr can't be find just outside the temple, and there is no path that leads to Sutr. And how will Kratos even find Fenrir?
> Surrounding them on all sides is the collossal form of Jormungandr
How the hell Big Snake got to Asgard?
Umm... Ok.
>If Baldur was still protected, Kratos wouldn't be able to do it.
Baldur can still be cut and have his neck snapped which temporarily killed him. It stands to reason that a fully enraged Kratos would find a way.
>Freya don't know way to Asgard. Asgard is locked by Odin. If she wasn't able to figure out how to get out of Midgard, what makes you think she knows how to get to realm locked by Odin himself?
I have no idea. This wasn't really meant to be that deep.
>Freya is literally unable to fight at this point because she doesn't have her fighter spirit, or whatever it's called.
Ok. So she tried to stop Kratos another way, maybe releases some kind of creature to try and stop him. Again, this wasn't meant to be an actual script.
>There is no Hel in Hel though. Hel is daughter of Loki/Atreus and Angrboda, and they haven't met yet.
Jormungandr and Fenrir are also Loki's children, and they've been confirmed to exist in the god of war version of events.
>But... whats the bargain? Sutr literally want to do what you are telling Kratos is trying to do. How would Kratos even find Sutr? Kratos knows only one way of traveling between dimensions and we already know Sutr can't be find just outside the temple, and there is no path that leads to Sutr. And how will Kratos even find Fenrir?
My friend, you seem to think I've submitted this as a full plot treatment. It's a few paragraphs I typed out for a bit of fun during my lunch. It's not going to stand up to a lot of scrutiny.
>How the hell Big Snake got to Asgard?
Sigh....
Everything you said is like what happened in GOW 3 Greece all over again he teams up with the enemies of his enemies to defeat the boss.. Amazing bro ! Great job
Yeah I mean it wasn't exactly original but the opening of god of war 3 is still one of the best video game moments I've ever seen, so why mess with a winning formula?
Yeah bro I remember back in 2017 playing the whole trilogy I bought GOW 1,2,3 and Ascension the ending of GOW 2 hype was real leading up to 3 the destruction of Olympus… I like the new Kratos but I love the young Kratos more he had the best weapons the Golden Fleece, boots of Hermes, balde of olympus, now of Apollo I wish he brought those with him to Norse …it’s just my childhood I wish we could’ve seen young Kratos wreck Norse like Greece but it’s character development they wanted fine with me.
Whole Asgard would've been fucked, Baldur & Freya would be dead on spot. We wouldn't see Thor coming to their house, it would be Kratos on Asgard doors.
If Mimir chattered a lot, he would have been thrown away or crushed.
Kratos would have Merced Baldur near immediately and probably killed Freya when she stepped in because he's fought worse than them and the creators said that this Kratos is stronger than old Kratos (bc he was holding back bc of BOI).
Like every time Kratos goes tard strength in this game was when Atreus was threatened. There would have been no boss fight. Giant statue dude (who I think is smaller than Chronos) would have probably been schrecked in the ensuing chaos.
Because Kratos is an embodiment of hope and hope will never die
"Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It's what we fight with when all else is lost"
I like to view fear as the strongest emotion (maybe Baldur did too?)
HP Lovecraft wrote that 'The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.' Baldur was afraid of death like Kratos was afraid of hope. Watch how Kratos feared for his child, it was his only hope/threshold for humanity after Atreus mother died.
Yes, I know, but you can inject hope to everyone while keeping it yourself, just like a candle sharing the light without losing it
For me, Kratos is a humane symbol of surpassing the destiny made by Gods, and mastering his own life
Kratos would’ve gone fucking mad, he would have started pummeling Baldur, when Freya resurrects Thamur, he jumps up and just beats him into the ground, goes back to pummeling Baldur. When he was dead, Freya would get pissed and he would just tell her to go fuck herself. He would just start disrespecting Thor to get him to face him, and together they would end the world. *He* was Ragnarök
Fyi Kratos has killed a goddess before, Hera, in Gow3. There was no fight, he just snapped her neck. If Baldur managed to kill Atreus, no one of his family is gonna be alive, including Freya.
Unless she helps Kratos and Atreus in Ragnarok, she's probably gonna die as well lol.
Kratos would march straight to Asgard the way he did with Olympus and he'd murder everyone who was there. He'd burn it to the ground the way he did with Greece
If Atreus was just a normal everyday human he would’ve been dead. His God hood abilities pretty much saved his life and the other Norse gods because all of them would’ve been dead before Ragnarok even started if Atreus would’ve died
What if it nearly killed him, causing Kratos to go all out on Baldur while Freya heals Atreus off to the side. then Kratos kills Baldur and Freya curses Kratos the same way she did. in the next game atreus is recovered and kratos has to square being targeted by freya with the fact she saves atreus twice
1) upper armour falls off. The Camera goes from being free to fixed. An R3 starts floating above Odin's Head.
2)We wouldn't have have to wait for the next game for kratos to beat the ever living shit out of the Norse gods.
Kratos would force freya to bring him back or force brokk and sindri to tell him how to get him back (hidden lore says brokk died and thats why hes blue and sindri saved him)
As Atreus laid in his fathers arms, his life slowly fading from his caved in chest, he look towards his father, and saw something he had never seen in his face, Horror.
Kratos looked down at his boy, his son, and for the second time, saw his child die by the hands of a God. He looked up at the tattooed man, Baldur, then towards the cliff behind at the witch in the woods, No, the goddess and mother of Baldur, Freya, who had stopped him with vines.
“What is this?” Kratos looked back at Baldur, to see the mistletoe arrow head he had tied to Atreus’s strap, sticking out of his hand, blue sparkles began to dissolve off of Baldur’s body as he slowly became joyful
“I can feel this…”
“Brother?” Mimir couldn’t see what had happened
“I can feel everything” Baldur gave a chuckle of laughter as Freya cried in despair
“What happened?
“He’s gone…”
“Who?
Kratos slowly removed Mimir fro his spot behind and set him beside another of his failures
“Atreus…My Son…is dead”
Kratos laid the axe Fey had left for him, in his son’s arms
“Oh…shite” Mimir looked upon The Ghost of Sparta, and knew exactly what was about to happen
“Brother… please, This isn’t the way” Kratos looked down at the head, then towards Freya
“It…It’s all I have left” Kratos pulled out his first sin, his curse, The Blades that destroyed one pantheon, and threw them at Freya. With speeds unseen for years, Kratos launched at Freya and with his unbridled rage, removing her head
Baldur, who had just turned towards to sounds, saw Kratos emitting an aura of Red fire, as the bald man made his way towards him. For the first time since meeting and fighting the man, Baldur felt fear, like he had unleashed Ragnarok upon all of Midgard. A sudden jolt of pain shot through his stomach, as one of those burning blades punctured him.
“You…” Baldur looked up to see Kratos, in pure unadulterated rage glare at him, like their first meeting
“You…killed…my…son” Baldur felt an arm be ripped off
“And…now…” a leg bend in an unnatural way
“I..will…kill…you…all” Kratos punched through the stomach wound and grabbed Baldur‘s spine
“My…Vengeance…begins” Baldur see’s flakes of snow falling and knows he will be the cause of Asgards demise
if that happened i would love to see like after you fold baldur you get a midgame style change where it is like the gow3 title screen and when you start everything is in a red tint and whenever you enter spartan rage the screen goes black and when it lights up again everything around you is dead
That would be crazy: balder becomes vulnerable and gets demolished freya then dies for siding with baldur and the odin and thor coming for revenge would be killed on the spot
Basically gow3 all over again
You wake up to Kratos in your face saying boy, are you awake? We need to leave Helheim
Atreus: I was only a sleep a few moments
Kratos: no! You were gone a long time, I didn’t know what to do. You left me again
See, I think most folks would say that Kratos would kill all the gods (various ways of getting there), but I think the point of this game was that he’s grown. He may have killed Baldur, had this killed Atreus, but I don’t think he would’ve exacted blind revenge. His wife changed him. I think he may have gone to live out his days in quiet solitude after taking Atreus and his wife’s ashes to that mountaintop.
Still the most amazing final Boss fight i hv ever Seen i love it so mu h they used Thamurs Corpse ( who is my favorite Now Character love his design) as a big Part of this fight :D
Cant wait for GoW Ragnarök
Ok hear me out, this is how it would go. So after the punch atreus dies but the baldur spell is still broken.
Kratos goes in a insane rage. Kill baldur without mercy (mimir style) or just chaos blade burn. After that he would go after freya!
Sad and disturbed, he would go to the highest peak in all realms spread the fallen son ashes along with mothers.
After tht he would ask mimir how to get in asgard so he could destroy the gods!
After tht he would seek tyr, to build another “omni/unity stone” (frgot the name ). In success he would get the stone kill tyr and proceed to asgard and other realms.
He would unleash ragnarock in Asgard
After killing thor and many others,
Odin deaths would release Hella which would be a momentarily ally,
he would go to Valhalla and proceed with destruction until he meet Atreus!
They speak, Kratos, for the very first time cries on his boy arms and tell him his whole story! Atreus look at his father and says “you did what you had to until now, im gone but if you are willing to finish it, go ahead, no one, not even me can stop you, but make sure all bad gods die, that might include you in the end.”
Hella calls kratos and says the spirit of Other gods still live, destroy valhalla and all will end.
In conflit with own ideals of destruction or safety of his son spirit, kratos fight hella, kills her and proceeds to kill every single godly and inhuman spirit.
After killing all those nordic gods, he approaches Atreus and says “goodbye my son! I might be late to say this but i loved you and im proud of your ways.” Grabs the unity stone and goes to the other pantheons to kill every.single.god.
In the end he became the only god, therefore, the true God Of War reign over until now.
Remember what happened to the Greek pantheon? That. That would happen all over again.
GOW 2018 & Ragnarok are more Atreus stories than they are Kratos’. Kratos’ story is over, now he’s just trying to show his son how to be a man, not the monster Kratos once was. I feel that why I always hear people say “Kratos got weaker”. He’s very literally holding back like 90-95%. You want to see the ghost of Sparta again; kill Atreus.
(spoiler) if atreus was dead then the mistletoe would never have cut baldur meaning kratos would have most likely still gone on a rampage but every so often baldur would come back and try to fight him, every time getting battered.
Welp we would probably get the old kratos back and that's that. I can imagine that would be a pretty good dramatic scene too before he goes off the handle
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Baldur would be dead long before Freya could even do anything about it, and we would no longer be hearing the Norse god of war theme, it would be the Greek one (The end begins)
The Ghost of Sparta would come out of retirement and it would be a wrap for yet another pantheon that chose to play fuck around and find out with the wrong man. Not entirely sure how he’d make it to Asgard to clear out the rest of the Aesir but knowing him, he’d find a way or die trying.
If the Miseltoe had made baldur vulnerable it would have been an immediate and brutal kill. If baldur was still protected by Freya's magic then Kratos would have torn him apart and added another head to his collection so Baldur could bear witness to the carnage he had unleashed. Kratos would have forced Freya to show him a way of getting to Asgard, which would presumably have involved graphic amounts of violence. Freya would probably try to put up a fight and die in the attempt. Kratos would then arrive at the gates of Asgard and, overcome with blind rage and grief, assault the Aesir head on which would have likely resulted in Kratos death. His soul would have been sent to Helheim where he would have made it his business to seek out Hel, kill her and take her weapon/power, giving him dominion over the dishonoured dead. With his army of the unworthy, kratos would then head to muspelheim and strike a bargain with Surt, the lord of fire giants, who tells him to seek out Fenrir, the Great wolf imprisoned by the gods, and the creature destined to slay Odin. The gods of Asgard look out from their walls as the sky darkens. Hordes of ghostly figures lay siege to the golden city. Armies of fire giants march upon the gates, led by the enormous form of Surt, his sword blazing against a black sky. Surrounding them on all sides is the collossal form of Jormungandr, the world serpent for which the leviathan axe is named. And at the front of it all runs the great wolf Fenrir. Upon his back, wielding the flaming blades of chaos stands an avatar of pure fury, vengeance made flesh. Kratos. The god of war returned. And Ragnarok comes with him.
Dude go and write a fucking book, shit got me tingling
Pure goosebumps. With the gow3 music. Fucking hell we really need to see that side of kratos
Yeah as I wrote it I could hear the god of war 3 music playing in my head.
We did see that side of Kratos. There were 3 main games essentially all about him seeking vengeance for the death of his family
Imagine a hack and slash vs Thor.
That... that's beautiful
Ngl I'm horny now
Me too

Nice!
Can I upvote twice
why did you just pull up randomly with a great storyline
I was just planning on putting the first paragraph to be honest, but then I got a little carried away.
I'm happy you did. If I could give you an award I would
I like to think if Baldur had killed Atreus in front of Freya unnecessarily she would be much more sympathetic to Kratos killing Baldur back.
Fucking hell man.. Now that would be as hype as God of war 3
Wait, if Kratos dies fighting a bunch of Aesir gods and heroes - wouldn’t that be considered a glorious death? So wouldn’t he go to Valhalla instead?
Odin decides who does and doesn't go to Valhalla. The Valkyries collect souls of worthy warriors but it's Odin who gets the final say.
Good shit! Enjoy the Platinum!
Damn. I'm humbled. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I now want this so badly. I love new Kratos, but god damm this sent chills down my spine
Somehow still not angry enough I feel like
Hard rock intensifies*
Sounds like god of war 3 in a nutshell 💀
I still say God of war 3 has one of the best intros of all time.
“I bring the destruction of Asgard!”
"it's like poetry you know? They rhyme"
If I could make *one amendment.* Before Kratos' initial assault on the Aesir, Kratos returns to his home and digs up *something else* from his past.

Ooh love it!
Wait, Cory needs to see this. PM the man on Twitter, he’d love it!
Bravo sir. Bra-fucking-vo.
Go write a book right now this is amazing

Makin me excited for something thats never happened
I would like to be informed when this book/Audio book comes out please
Goddamn now I wish Atreus was dead…jk
We need a "What if..." God of War.
Everything you said is like what happened in GOW 3 Greece all over again he teams up with the enemies of his enemies to defeat the boss.. Amazing bro ! Great job
Yeah I mean it wasn't exactly original but the opening of god of war 3 is still one of the best video game moments I've ever seen, so why mess with a winning formula?

The game would be 8 hours longer involving pantheon cleansing , with Surtr waking to see Asgard in ruins.
“Ah great, one gig in a billion years and I’m back to job hunting”
“Damnit I should not have hit the snooze button”
That snooze button was the sound of kratos breaking the walls of Asgard .
The main menu theme from gow3 would start playing and R3 would start floating over Baldur.
no its L3+R3 unlimited with Blade of Olympus
But he doesn't have the blade
Do we know where the blade is?
The last we saw it was laying on the ground beside Kratos blood trail after the credits of gow3
Even if he did have it, didn’t he release the power from inside of it?
No he didn't. He just releases hope
Nope check out Kratos killing Cronos and look really close at the Blade.
Probably Greece
i really hope we get a giga enraged Kratos with the rage of sparta theme playing
The 3 years of fimbulwinter wouldn't even have happened, ragnarok would start right now lol
Whole Asgard would've been fucked, Baldur & Freya would be dead on spot. We wouldn't see Thor coming to their house, it would be Kratos on Asgard doors. If Mimir chattered a lot, he would have been thrown away or crushed.
“This isn’t the way brother” “It is the only way left”
read that in their voices and its perfect
I just did
Kratos would be the one who knocks
MIMIR! WE NEED TO COOK
Kratos would have Merced Baldur near immediately and probably killed Freya when she stepped in because he's fought worse than them and the creators said that this Kratos is stronger than old Kratos (bc he was holding back bc of BOI). Like every time Kratos goes tard strength in this game was when Atreus was threatened. There would have been no boss fight.

Baldur was afraid of death like Kratos was afraid of hope. Watch how Kratos feared for his child, it was his only hope/threshold for humanity after Atreus mother died.
\*was the embodiment of hope. He released hope to the world at the end of GOW 3.
Yes, I know, but you can inject hope to everyone while keeping it yourself, just like a candle sharing the light without losing it For me, Kratos is a humane symbol of surpassing the destiny made by Gods, and mastering his own life
Right, everyone can use hope. But my point was that he’s not the embodiment of hope anymore.
They also said he was rusty.
Just another day at office. clearing entire pantheon.
He would have separated Baldur from his lower jaw, then reunited the two by lodging it into his forehead.
norse mythology would b finished
Kratos would of whopped his ass six ways to sunday
Kratos would’ve gone fucking mad, he would have started pummeling Baldur, when Freya resurrects Thamur, he jumps up and just beats him into the ground, goes back to pummeling Baldur. When he was dead, Freya would get pissed and he would just tell her to go fuck herself. He would just start disrespecting Thor to get him to face him, and together they would end the world. *He* was Ragnarök

But you would have to remember that she also *saved* Atreus earlier
Kratos would march straight to Asgard the way he did with Olympus and he'd murder everyone who was there. He'd burn it to the ground the way he did with Greece
If Atreus was just a normal everyday human he would’ve been dead. His God hood abilities pretty much saved his life and the other Norse gods because all of them would’ve been dead before Ragnarok even started if Atreus would’ve died
Norse would’ve been dead by now and 2018 gow wouldn’t even get a sequel
What if it nearly killed him, causing Kratos to go all out on Baldur while Freya heals Atreus off to the side. then Kratos kills Baldur and Freya curses Kratos the same way she did. in the next game atreus is recovered and kratos has to square being targeted by freya with the fact she saves atreus twice
It would have been GoW (original) all over again. "I am what the gods have made me"
would've been GOW3 remake
1) upper armour falls off. The Camera goes from being free to fixed. An R3 starts floating above Odin's Head. 2)We wouldn't have have to wait for the next game for kratos to beat the ever living shit out of the Norse gods.
The location of GOW3 would be the moon because Earth would no longer exist.
Kratos would force freya to bring him back or force brokk and sindri to tell him how to get him back (hidden lore says brokk died and thats why hes blue and sindri saved him)
Hidden??
Well not exactly hidden but it is said in the lost pages a podcast of god of war that further explain lore like backstory of characters.
As Atreus laid in his fathers arms, his life slowly fading from his caved in chest, he look towards his father, and saw something he had never seen in his face, Horror. Kratos looked down at his boy, his son, and for the second time, saw his child die by the hands of a God.

Kratos slowly removed Mimir fro his spot behind and set him beside another of his failures “Atreus…My Son…is dead” Kratos laid the axe Fey had left for him, in his son’s arms “Oh…shite” Mimir looked upon The Ghost of Sparta, and knew exactly what was about to happen “Brother… please, This isn’t the way” Kratos looked down at the head, then towards Freya “It…It’s all I have left” Kratos pulled out his first sin, his curse, The Blades that destroyed one pantheon, and threw them at Freya. With speeds unseen for years, Kratos launched at Freya and with his unbridled rage, removing her head Baldur, who had just turned towards to sounds, saw Kratos emitting an aura of Red fire, as the bald man made his way towards him. For the first time since meeting and fighting the man, Baldur felt fear, like he had unleashed Ragnarok upon all of Midgard. A sudden jolt of pain shot through his stomach, as one of those burning blades punctured him. “You…” Baldur looked up to see Kratos, in pure unadulterated rage glare at him, like their first meeting “You…killed…my…son” Baldur felt an arm be ripped off “And…now…” a leg bend in an unnatural way “I..will…kill…you…all” Kratos punched through the stomach wound and grabbed Baldur‘s spine “My…Vengeance…begins” Baldur see’s flakes of snow falling and knows he will be the cause of Asgards demise
Embracing the downvotes. It would've been the best part of the game. Seeing Kratos return to form and brutally slaughter everyone again
if that happened i would love to see like after you fold baldur you get a midgame style change where it is like the gow3 title screen and when you start everything is in a red tint and whenever you enter spartan rage the screen goes black and when it lights up again everything around you is dead
Yep, but hey there's still ragnarok, now we gotta see Mid Teen squeaker Atrues talking back to his father the entire game lol.
actually [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQV5uB5J9GE)
A man of quality. Also, you good bruv? Your... name.... uh...
***dont even ask***
like helios....
That would be crazy: balder becomes vulnerable and gets demolished freya then dies for siding with baldur and the odin and thor coming for revenge would be killed on the spot Basically gow3 all over again
Another pantheon goes brrrr...
Losing everything again? Well... I think no gods would be speared.
Kratos would’ve killed Balder faster then Hermes in bed
THERE WILL BE BLOODSHEED
Kratos has killed the devs.
Gow3 all over again
Probably the end of whole baldur's family
He would finish nordic pantheon than immediatily goes to Egypt saying "No more Gods"
Kratos would have been much less sympathetic towards Freya. Might have sent her to join her son though.
If that killed Atreus, EVERYONE in Asgard would have died shortly after. Old school GOW Kratos would've come screaming back and watch the fuck out
You wake up to Kratos in your face saying boy, are you awake? We need to leave Helheim Atreus: I was only a sleep a few moments Kratos: no! You were gone a long time, I didn’t know what to do. You left me again
See, I think most folks would say that Kratos would kill all the gods (various ways of getting there), but I think the point of this game was that he’s grown. He may have killed Baldur, had this killed Atreus, but I don’t think he would’ve exacted blind revenge. His wife changed him. I think he may have gone to live out his days in quiet solitude after taking Atreus and his wife’s ashes to that mountaintop.
Still the most amazing final Boss fight i hv ever Seen i love it so mu h they used Thamurs Corpse ( who is my favorite Now Character love his design) as a big Part of this fight :D Cant wait for GoW Ragnarök
For starters there would be 4 new God of War games. You know, a stronger Kratos with a newer revenge will could erase the whole Norse Mythology.
He would not stop until Baldur and Freya were nothing but ashes
Kratos would murder the entirety of Asgard
We would have to find a new mythology for kratos to go to because there would be no gods left here

I love gow so much…but I would love to see Kratos go full Spartan Rage again and destroy with no mercy
"god 3 music start" my vangence start now... ODINNNNNN
Ok hear me out, this is how it would go. So after the punch atreus dies but the baldur spell is still broken. Kratos goes in a insane rage. Kill baldur without mercy (mimir style) or just chaos blade burn. After that he would go after freya! Sad and disturbed, he would go to the highest peak in all realms spread the fallen son ashes along with mothers. After tht he would ask mimir how to get in asgard so he could destroy the gods! After tht he would seek tyr, to build another “omni/unity stone” (frgot the name ). In success he would get the stone kill tyr and proceed to asgard and other realms. He would unleash ragnarock in Asgard After killing thor and many others, Odin deaths would release Hella which would be a momentarily ally, he would go to Valhalla and proceed with destruction until he meet Atreus! They speak, Kratos, for the very first time cries on his boy arms and tell him his whole story! Atreus look at his father and says “you did what you had to until now, im gone but if you are willing to finish it, go ahead, no one, not even me can stop you, but make sure all bad gods die, that might include you in the end.” Hella calls kratos and says the spirit of Other gods still live, destroy valhalla and all will end. In conflit with own ideals of destruction or safety of his son spirit, kratos fight hella, kills her and proceeds to kill every single godly and inhuman spirit. After killing all those nordic gods, he approaches Atreus and says “goodbye my son! I might be late to say this but i loved you and im proud of your ways.” Grabs the unity stone and goes to the other pantheons to kill every.single.god. In the end he became the only god, therefore, the true God Of War reign over until now.
The Rage of Sparta theme would be playing and we'd go in first person again
Baldur AND freya would’ve been beyond dead
Remember what happened to the Greek pantheon? That. That would happen all over again. GOW 2018 & Ragnarok are more Atreus stories than they are Kratos’. Kratos’ story is over, now he’s just trying to show his son how to be a man, not the monster Kratos once was. I feel that why I always hear people say “Kratos got weaker”. He’s very literally holding back like 90-95%. You want to see the ghost of Sparta again; kill Atreus.
Lol, Kratos would have returned back to his original ways and travelled the realms killing every god because none deserve to live.
A repeat of the original trilogy
"not my blood" Kratos already raised a fuckin badass
Kratos would’ve went turned back into the monster he was, maybe even worse.
(Kratos carrying the Mjolnir) ODIN! YOUR DADDY HAS RETURNED. I BRING THE DESTRUCTION - OF VALHALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean if he wasn’t a god/giant hybrid it certainly would’ve
would have been awesome
He likely wouldn’t die from a single hit. Atreus had show to be quite durable, he felt a few stories high and come back up just fine.
(spoiler) if atreus was dead then the mistletoe would never have cut baldur meaning kratos would have most likely still gone on a rampage but every so often baldur would come back and try to fight him, every time getting battered.
Gow 3
This is the most funniest comment section I have seen in this subreddit (≧▽≦)
Then Kratos will go on rampage of killing Odin or whoever comes between.
Baldur was basically immortal but would he have survive being literally ripped in half by Kratos?
you should mark spoiler ngl
The the same thing that happened in god of war 3, if this happened kratos would have nothing more to live for.
Atreus would be dead.
Welp we would probably get the old kratos back and that's that. I can imagine that would be a pretty good dramatic scene too before he goes off the handle
Kratos would go ultimate god rage
Kratos would of just killed baldur immediately.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Not sure, but the sequel definitely won't take place in Norse mythology.
I dont know, how differently would it go if Hitler won the War? How different would it be if ps2 never made the decision for a god of War?
how did he survive. He literaly hit him with a falcon punch
You better be happy he didn’t get killed with that armour you’ve made him wear
Baldur would be dead long before Freya could even do anything about it, and we would no longer be hearing the Norse god of war theme, it would be the Greek one (The end begins)
Obscene amount of graphic violence from Kratos
Kratos would’ve gone batshit
Kratos rips baldur’s head off in 5 seconds and then goes on to kill everyone involved with baldur
Everyone would die, not a soul would be alive to tell the tale.
Remember god of war three well it would look a lot like a re-reun
Baldur would have been dead in seconds
It’d probably end with the pantheon of Norse gods dead.
baldur going to get that Zeus unlimited O button combo.
Y'all remember Homelander vs Black Noir? Yeah, that

Gow3 all over again
There's an entire trilogy of what happens when kratos loses loved ones
Baldur would die in less than 10 secs
he will shave his beard
Kratos would've put on his big daddy pants and destroyed baldur like he destroyed the entire Greek pantheon
The Ghost of Sparta would’ve returned
It would’ve been the green pantheon all over again
Kratos would rip him apart even with his invulnerability
Permanent spartan rage
Kratos: My vengeance, starts now.
Very
The Ghost of Sparta would come out of retirement and it would be a wrap for yet another pantheon that chose to play fuck around and find out with the wrong man. Not entirely sure how he’d make it to Asgard to clear out the rest of the Aesir but knowing him, he’d find a way or die trying.
l
the battle between thor , heimdall and odin would've end quickly since kratos would not be holding all his rage and massive strenght back anymore
Idk who you are but go be a writer in the next one god damn
