Also, he senses Brok's pain and unlike who he was before he tries to make up for it by bending his knee to a 'mere mortal' and requesting his blessing of the weapon - something he (a demigod) has no time for the concept of a 'blessing' bestowing greater power to.

A small detail I love here is when the mermaid draws his blood and it forms the Omega which was the symbol for war in Greece, she frowns disapprovingly and reshapes it simply into a spartan symbol, calling back instead to his younger days before becoming the war god. The music in the moment complements this shift as well.

That Mermaid design felt so right, definitely what a Mermaid should look like (Would like to see more designers lean into this more logically natural look), not to mention her awesome Cold Forge technique which is quite original.

What I like most about Draupnir is that it’s symbolic of both past and present Kratos. The Blades of Chaos were from the Greek world, and the Leviathan Axe from the Nordic one. Draupnir is a Nordic artifact empowered by the blood of a Greek god, a weapon spanning two worlds. The spear is the first weapon Kratos got, and it’s also the last.

The best part is that in 6:25 you can see the Mermaid actually gave her blessing but Kratos asked Brok for his blessing anyway to make him feel good. Kratos went through so much character development. This game is a blessing.

I love how she rejects the first symbol representing the end (both which Kratos have brought to others and is about to himself), "war" (his status/experiences as a god of war; and ares, his enslaver), the source of all his misery and shame, and instead chooses the symbol which goes to his core identity as a spartan warrior before everything went to shit. Which is especially fitting as it takes a form of a spear. His first weapon, the quintessential weapon of every spartan warrior.

Definitely teared up when he said "It is the nature of a thing that matters. Not its form." The growth of Kratos in this game is absolutely amazing.

A Spartan God of War getting a divine spear forged from Draupnir. Yeah, it'd be weird if it WASN'T broken. I bet Kratos prefers using it too, since it's the first weapon that's HIS. On top of that, imagine how oddly comforting it'd be to a warrior that he could keep his weapon on his person at all times without it getting in the way, and he can summon it INSTANTLY. The Axe comes close with the ability to call it to his hand, but it could still get separated from him, like in that fight with Thor. As long as nobody cuts off that finger with the ring, or somehow pulls it off, he's always ready for combat. Honestly, I rather wish that the last mural that Kratos finds that has him as a god of peace, showed him with the spear instead of the axe.

I got such nostalgia when Kratos got the spear. I immediately remembered Deimos and Kratos' childhood in Sparta. This moment for me is as strong as the appearance of the blades of chaos from the last part.

"And may it be put down, when it's time is done." Extremely deep meaning, and yet, I wonder? How many, missed or totally ignored the meaning of that simple statement.

It's quite possible that this lady mermaid were also the one (or member of the mermaid race) who gives King Arthur his sword. The parallels here is that both the weapons were made for the one who were righteous or worthy to wield it. Also the symbol that the blood made changes from Kratos' Omega (End, Last) which symbolizes his destructive nature changes to the Spartan Lambda, which shows his changing nature from cruel God of destruction to the staunch protector of the ones he loved.

In one of the boat dialogues, Mimir mentions someone similar to The Lady of the Forge who specializes in swords. He even drops her name: Nimue.

“It is the nature of a thing that matters, not its form” Damn, hearing that from someone like Kratos is really something. It gives hope that anyone can change. That anyone can do better.

It is the nature of a thing that matters, not it’s form. May this weapon strike true. May it be wielded with wisdom. May it be put down when its job is one.

I really thought I was going to do some underwater battle and got really excited because Kratos kills anything in his way :). But I am still happy because the amount of cool characters in this game is just too good to be true. It almost feels like a Guillermo del Toro movie.

I love how mimir doesn’t get the nature and form stuff, and maybe Kratos does, but he doesn’t let on, or he’s just silently confused too. And it’s when brok hits his lowest point, that Kratos uses his own wisdom to lift him back up a little. I love how they made Kratos so… healthy? No. He’s not healthy. But by fuck he’s TRYING. He is a traumatised person riddled with more guilt than anyone could imagine, and the first game (new ones that is) done a wonderful job of showing he’s better, his rage has lessened and he’s trying to do better but he’s not there he’s just not good at it. But he WORKS at it, he tries his fucking hardest, for his son, his wife, himself, the friends he made. Kratos in the originals was the epitome of toxic masculinity, he was so enraged he could never accept any iota of blame for his own actions and externalised it all on those around him. But now he’s healthy, he’s worked on himself to be better, and to all the guys out here, here’s the important bit okay? Never be afraid to be vulnerable, don’t think mental health is a joke, therapy is a good idea for those who need the help, a strong man is a man who can admit his mistakes, who shows love not just to family but friends, who can grow and change and be the better you. Society tells us to keep it all in lads, fuck that, scream, shout cry, let it out, so it stays out. I’m not saying go break some drywalls Kyle, I’m saying go shout into a pillow, cry on a friends shoulder, and once it’s out, let it stay out. Get up and move past it so it can’t come back.

Fun Fact : The Gungnir is the true name of this spear in myth , it means "The spear which may never missed " , it was odin`s weapon , odin wield a spear in game too , but I would rather believe this one is the true gungnir , however it was blessed by the greatest Dwarf forger ...

Considering the lady of the forge sees the soul rather than the corporeal form, she probably made the weapon a spear specifically for kratos after reading his soul.

1:16 Brok never got to tell the tale of the ax.

I know the draupnir getting turned into a spear was cool- but seeing Kratos wield it against Odin who has Gungnir is very cool.

Small detail at 5:15 notice when Kratos’ blood transforms into the Greek symbol for war the lady looks confused most likely because she’s looking at a symbol that she hasn’t seen before

I like how Kratos' blood briefly takes the form of the letters Omega and Lambda before the Lady turns it into the cloth. It's what Kratos and most others think he is (a signifier and bringer of the end) and what he is at his heart (a warrior sworn to protect those closest to him).

I just noticed that when the Lady forms the Omega symbol with Kratos' blood initially she furrows her brow as if feeling it's not right and tries again and ends up with the Lambda symbol and finds it much better fitting.

"May this weapon strike true May it be wielded with wisdom May it be put down when its job is done" Brok's blessing not only applied to the spear but also to himself. He gave Kratos one of the strongest weapon that can even helped him defeat Heimdall. His riddle gave the smartest man alive a headache. And after he uncovered Odin's disguise.... His job is done.

Draupnir were actually a Ring rather than a Spear. Odin use it to duplicate himself over the whole Nine Realms.

It's still a ring in the game as well as a spear.

Draupnir is also a ring in the game, Brok and Sindri got it back from Odin after deciding that he didn't deserve it. They give it to Kratos so that mermaid can forge it into a weapon, since the fact that the ring multiplies means that the spear does as well. They need it to multiply because Heimdall can foresee any move, so the only way to defeat him is by having infinite moves.

So Atreus gets a new sword and kratos a new spear…. 10/10

This is my favorite scene in all God of War series this is like Movie class LOTR fantasy execution and Brok is my favorite character in all God of War series he is the smartest in the group while Sindri is the witty one.

I think the mermaid is a reference to the Lady of the Lake who forged Excalibur of Arthurian myth, given how Mimir is a fae from Celtic myth, it makes sense to reference another mythology.

I think it's not just a reference since Mimir commented right after that he didn't think he would meet another "Mermaid that forges weapons" and name-drop Nimue. What I'm curious is if Lady of the Forge and Nimue is of the same species/race? There's even a Celtic Kelpie (for The Norns mission) in Midgard, so it's not a big stretch.

@@faradise3819 Everyone talks about the series heading to Egypt, but all the foreshadowing with Mimir, Macbeth, the kelpie and Shakespear, and now the Lady of the Lake, a Celtic/Arthurian mix sounds like it would make for an extremely interesting setting, one that's been set up just as much as Egypt.

@@70thalternativeaccount63 I'm always against the sequel being set in Egypt because Kratos already arrived there before reaching Midgard (Norse). But since we're pretty likely to follow Atreus after this, it might be much more awesome if the next game is actually a multi-pantheon journey, hopping from nation to nation.

When Brok said that’s right he sounded like that sound effect from Vanoss videos🤣🤣2:16

So the first time Brok died: at the forge, Sindri went to Alfheim and collected his fragmented souls, but unfortunately Sindri only managed to collect several parts of Brok's souls, hence Brok became "incomplete"

I love how nice Kratos was with Brok. Few esconde after Brok realizes he is dead, Kratos ask him to bless his new weapon. It shows how much Kratos chaged for the better since the events of greece.

She blessed it with her hand gesture thru her soul

When I first saw kratos got the spear, I completely forgot this is his 3rd spear because in the previous god of war games he did have the spear of destiny and the arms of Sparta.

7:11 Mad respect to Kratos here

The fact that Brok die twice and Mimir finally understand the riddle is pretty sad 😢

@@jude_bv4579 The answer is "a hole". The more you take away, the more it gets bigger. It represents Sindri in the end.

I realized only now. sindri didn't want brok to go to mermaid was because Brok doesn't have the part of his soul to listen mermaid's words. And if he finds out, sindri fears brok wouldn't forgive him. So many little details scattered through the game. Sms put so much thoughts into writing a great story. Edit: also, mermaid also asked to give back the spear(for blessing) with hand gesture but kratos didn't. She looks offended for that lol😂

Combat in this game is phenomenal

It is amazing

If it wasn't for how iconic the blades of chaos have always been for Kratos/how marketable they are, I could legit believe the spear would be Kratos' main weapon from here on out as the one weapon he truly feels comfortable and happy using above all else.

‘The fuck do you want?’ The only man in all the realms that is allowed to say that to him

This scene just have so much meaning one of my favorites

The old style green music rising at 5:53 is beautiful

Glad how kratos understood the omega and arrow flex🔥

I teared up a little when Kratos knelt for Brok. It reminded me of when Aragorn and all of Gondor knelt for the Hobbits at the end of Return of the King. Powerful stuff.

The mermaid could sense that kratos values his memories with his spartan comrades more than his time as the god of war, probably why she changed the symbol from omega to the spartan symbol

I love that Brok shows such reverence to the Lady, but when she ignores him and learns the truth, he dismisses her as a mere aquatic fish when he said she went back to the kelp.

As much I love the return of the chaos blades scene, this scene just blow it out of the park from accepting his past to forging a new future

the forge scene legitimately gives me goosebumps its so effective

Man that kneel almost had me tear up

Those who think the spear is shit, it’s the best way to best found armies. The siphon skill can suck up whatever enemy buff and inflict it back. In this case - Bifrost. Try it

ohh yeah i remember the spear from the old days of sparta

Kratos consoling Brok brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of my best friend who alleviates my mood when I’m feeling down

“It is the nature of a thing that matters, not its form” I felt that

I don’t know if I’m alone on this one. I noticed the cloth formed on the spear is almost exactly the same as the one in the previous game when Kratos got the blades of chaos. Another reference to his spartan heritage? It’s awesome either way!

I dont know why, when the mermaid do all those magic things it feels, weirdly calming, its like i was getting hypnotized
