I love this DLC because you can see exactly why Tyr was so loved by everyone. He's extremely powerful, a masterful warrior ... But he's also wise and good. He likes people and wants to learn from them and aid them as best he can. He's a true leader of men, that makes him an inspiring God of War.

This was very nice and a good wrap up for recent events regarding Kratos’s journey. Helios as a head swapping places with mimir was funny af. Have to say, Tyr was bringing the heat in those fights, with all the weapons he’s learned, possibly mastered through his travels throughout realms and learning from other pantheons. He truly embodies the Norse God of War mantle that Kratos showed great respect for, which I have to say, is awesome af writing. Tyr and Kratos sparring and gleaming in what they’ve learned exerting themselves in combat is literally god tier therapy on some level we all wish we got 😂

Valhalla and Tyr really are just like, really targeted therapy for a PTSD riddled vet who's seriously seen some shit.... and the whole journey really is beautiful.

It's hard to look at yourself and come to terms with the fuck ups you made in life. But if Kratos, a guy who murked an entire pantheon, can... then how hard is it for us to better ourselves every day? A lesson we should really take to heart is the same as his. Tomorrow's always there for us to not be sorry about our past, but be better for the future.

He's a Kratos that's capable of introspection and is given time and opportunity to stop and think about things. Original trilogy Kratos was too busy being strung along on wild goose-hunts by the gods and tormented by cursed nightmares and monsters, even when he achieved apotheosis he couldn't stand to be around the sneering olympians and isolated himself.

@@marcusclark1339 I respect that opinion and get where you’re coming from.

When you think of main characters now a days, they have to be dynamic enough for the players to grow with that character and I think having Kratos as a blood thirsty and raging vengeful character like back in the day wouldn’t have gotten the turnout from fans like the Kratos now.

If this DLC did anything, it definitively drives home the point that Kratos is one of the most deeply developed, and well crafted characters ever put into a video game. I remember picking up the original God of War for my PS2. His character arc has been, for me, the most satisfying narrative ever made.

Im so glad that they had Crispin reprise his role as Helios, definitely think he did a better job than Dwight did in Chains of Olympus, so im glad to see him back, even if it was brief.

He makes mistakes, but he has human intentions. Plus I find his journey relatable, even if we never are responsible for mass destruction, the act of acceptance and broadening ourselves beyond our past mistakes and the act of hope for a better future is a strong message never the less.

​@@marcusclark1339 There's nothing revisionist about it. The first game literally opens with Kratos attempting suicide, his arc has always been about failure and triumph as well as learning to overcome negative emotions. If you somehow missed that then idk you must be mentally challenged.

There were so many amazing things done in this storyline, the entire Norse Saga of God of War has been amazing and this, this is a truly superb ending for Kratos. This very well may be the last canon addition to God of War we ever get and it feels so *complete* and *heavy*. We rarely see works of fiction where it's fully grown adults finding themselves and becoming whole, rarely see stories where it's more than just 'I must overcome my limits' or 'I must learn to accept my friends' help', but we got one in God of War 4 and 5 and now this DLC. Whoever wrote these games' scripts deserve so much praise and thanks.

The self reflection his words brought to me to look back on myself and all I have done and chose to do even when I knew better, was more than I expected to realize from this gameplay. We can all be better, especially those of us who know better. We fight so much with ourselves and the life we live is because we know, that deep down, we are not being who we can be and doing what could be doing. Even when we’ve felt like we’ve given our all, ask yourself, “have I?”

I like that after all the time we spent in game. Kratos’ language proficiency has increased significantly. Small details that show he has learned a lot over the course of his journey in this world.

I remember using Helios' shield in Chains of Olympus. Kratos with a shield was always a good look to me. Chains of Olympus was the only game I could play, but I followed the story as it went. Helping Helios through that game's quest was just another day of plagues and disaster for Greece, that Kratos had to fix. I think he had to travel to Hades with the sun chariot to rescue Helios, which at some point, had him roped into killing Persephone after realized that taking his second chance at staying with his daughter Calliope in Elysium would allow Atlas and Persephone to destroy the world. Persephone being depicted as hating her time in Hades is weird tho. Classic GoW depicts some gods incorrectly. Seeing how Helios ends getting caught in GoW 3, he has every reason to be spiteful about being dead, but to put their relationship in a lens, after Chains of Olympus, Kratos never gets his end of the bargain he constantly asks from Athena. And sure, Helios does send his chariot to carry Kratos out of Elysium, but he doesn't offer anything for his journey afterwards. Kratos's service stayed thankless and unrewarded. No need for Pandora's Box there, they kept him on a leash anyway. For the sake of narrative progression, the pantheon had it coming, but it's really sweet to explore deeper and personal subtext of Kratos' journey.

IF TC Carson would've voiced young Kratos AND if the young Kratos would've fought the older Kratos....if there was a category for BEST DLC, that would've won it. The older GOW games, great story, great voice acting, great combat, storyline...it was everything.

"You have always been more than what others saw" Don't think there's a better way to describe the first saga, or the entirety of God of War really.

It's a good way to both self-reflect and really encapsulate what this series has been like. I don't know if we'll get a continuation of this story, more than likely if we do it'll be as Atreus, as Loki, God of Mischief.

Man, GoW has come such a long way since I was a kid. When I was 16 playing this, it was just 2--D violence going fight to fight being angry, and testosterone. Then when they revamped it in 2018, I never thought I would take lessons on how to be a better father from Kratos. The lessons I learned were patience and empathy towards someone who was once in their shoes, a kid. And now I am learning other philosophical things, that really hit home and is ridiculous. It's just ironic and impactful what a character Kratos has become. It's real growth and relatable, hints why it's such a great and beautiful story of masculinity and personal growth. I hope we can see more stories like this in the future, but I appreciate what a gem it is now.

I'd like to say his last weapon is a Nodachi, which is likely since Tyr is so large a normal katana would be a knife to him.

The spear is Norse. All the iconography of Tyr in the game depicts him wielding that same spear and shield that he begins the fights with.

Seeing the macuahuitl brought a happy tear to my eye.

A neat detail here: The ending where Kratos sits on the throne, notice the lighting and how it affects his skin. It's as if the ashes are gone. It's as if his curse has been lifted. It's as if he's finally reached what he's been searching for, solitude from what he's been fighting. This is no longer the Ghost of Sparta...this is a God of Hope.

I'm sure Lyssandra, Caliope and Fey are proud wherever they are.

Yea that was the first thing I thought as well, he is the god of hope

A hour well spent. Thank you for uploading this for us

This was so cool to watch. I loved it Tyr's weapons were so cool. He's such a badass fighter. what i like in this series in general, you don't need fancy ass armor to fight with if you're a god. makes all the designs really humble. small tid bit, Kind of hoped his brother showed up/wife, and daughter.

This DLC feels like a bridge to the next game. Tyr boss fights he uses weapons from Egypt and Aztec mythology. That’s already a big hint.

​@@Complete_Stranger7050 Mimir is probably going to stay with Sigrun as i can't imagine him wanting to travel to who knows what dangerous realms as a talking head only for him to barely provide much wisdom in places which he doesn't personally know. That said i would love it if he did tagged along with Kratos in future adventures.

​@@javiervasquez625but mimir is smartest because he makes it his business to learn what he doesn't already know. I think he'd definitely risk death if that meant more knowledge or if he could help kratos in any way with his council. That being said, him ending up with sigrun is pretty cool too

We saw those mythologies in the firs god of war in Tyr's temple.

"My death is what began this journey" - Kratos, God of War 2

This DLC should be called, Kratos goes to the Therapist

The whole dlc got me choking. Those fights with Tyr were what I clamored for since the first game. Seeing him in action
