S_w_a_t_ob [LOCA] yes but you forgot the line “not knowing she was only ashes.” Baldur couldn’t have known Faye was dead, so he assumed Kratos was the giant he was after. Then when he realized kratos wasn’t, he assumed it was Atreas. And why do you think Odin sent Baldur to find the last Joten guardian? To find a way to Jotenheim, as Mimir has told us in his stories. So he tricks Baldur into believing Jotenheim is how he can feel again, when in reality it was mistletoe.

Many prophecies end up to be self-fulfilling. Greece was full of them: Chronos eating his children so one couldn't rise up to take his position lead his wife to hiding one of their children away to grow up and do just that. Zeus kidnapping Kratos's brother started the path towards Kratos fulfilling his place as the Marked One. Including his death by Zeus's hands. Baldur had such a fate. In giving him immunity to death at the cost of all feeling, he would gain the hatred to never leave Freya alone until one of them was dead. Forcing Kratos to killing Baldur, as he promised to do if he didn't leave Freya alone. Thus starting up Ragnarok. However, there is an extremely interesting critique to all of this: Magni and Modi were supposed to live after Ragnarok. Modi acknowledges this as a fact by questioning how Kratos could have killed Magni and then when he states that "I earned that fucking hammer!" Because he and Magni are supposed to be the new wielders of Mjolnir after Thor's death against the World Serphant. Mimir also acknowledged this twist of fate by how the winter that precedes Ragnarok is coming centuries before it was prophesied. I think Kratos, coming from a Greece whose fate was destroyed, is no longer bound to fate. Ironically, Odin's attempt to use the giants to twist fate in his favor lead him to becoming enemies to the one man not bound to any fate.

At first I thought baldur was just another asshole god. But after the scene where we see him begging freya to break the curse, and him actaully crying, I felt bad for him, cause I realized he was a victim. Turns out he wasn't like the other gods. He wasn't crazy hungry for knowledge and rule like odin. He didn't crave blood and violence like thor, or attetion and recognition like thors son. He just wanted to be free, to be able to feel and live a normal life. But he couldn't cause of his mother, who selfishly made him unable to feel anything. Now...one COULD argue that freya didn't know baldur wouldn't be able to feel anything, not even taste. But with her knowledge of magic, this seems silly. And by the time we see him here, he's desperate, and desperation can make someone do crazy things, or even make them crazy. And even when he was free, his mother STILL would not get the point that he is happier now, and kept trying to biyt into his life and affairs to protect him.

doubt it lol. Though to be fair, I think either Thor or Odin would probably try to kill both Kratos and Atreus.

Man, the writers for this game were outstanding. Not just for the story, but the dialogue itself. Like when Kratos and Baldur meet for the first time: "I thought you would be bigger." I interpreted this as him having heard of the Ghost of Sparta and was expecting something...more. Actually meant Kratos seemed small for a Giant. "Long way from home, aren't you?" As in, a long way from Greece. Actually meant a long way from Jotunheim. "I thought you people were supposed to be so enlightened." I thought this was a reference to the Greeks as a whole, with their plethora of philosophers. Actually meant the Jotnar. Classic case of letting people make assumptions based on what they think they know. Foreshadowing everything that would later be revealed without anyone realising it. Very impressed.

@miracon000fez

Well Zeus was much taller than him so it would make sense that if Baldur heard of his story he'd assume that something much bigger and much more powerful than the Greek God of thunder would kill him, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that some of the other Aesir gods thought so as well.

I love that in a way he kinda dies happy. He got to feel again, and he sounds so at peace when he feels the snow.

I understand now why Freya didn't want Atreus to have the mistletoe arrows. They could free Baldur and make him vulnerable. So she asked them to destroy it.

I love how this game shows character progression even in the smallest details in combat like when Baldur rushes Kratos: 4:21 Kratos hasn't been attacked like this in a long time and can't do anything against this combo so he gets thrown around a lot in the air. 50:00 Same attack as before in their first encounter but gets launched up higher in the air and gets interrupted by Freya intervening. Only choice he thinks of is bracing himself for landing impact. 1:00:20 Baldur does it a third time, turns out punching Kratos higher to the air was a grave mistake, as well as becoming predictable. Kratos catches up on this quickly and now recovers much faster; shows his quick wits as well by using the blades of chaos and pulling himself to Baldur allowing for a powerful attack from above. That's why he's the god of war, not the god of strength: he learns and adapts quickly in the middle of combat and turns the enemy's force of attack on his favor.

Actually, I think he was just removing the arrow tip from his hand. Judging from his expression, he was going to fight them again. I think his death was pointless because had he let go of his anger towards Freya, Kratos would've let him live. But even with his ability to feel restored, he refused to let go of his hatred, and Kratos killed him to stop him from killing Freya. That's how I see it, anyway.

When I played the game for the first time, I was familiar with the mythology, so I was jumping with joy when I got those arrows, thinking "come at me now." I screamed when Freya destroyed the arrows, thinking that beating him was an impossibility. It's bad enough playing it again, thinking "How could I have missed that." It's worse playing it the first time with a knowledge of the mythology.

I felt bad for baldur. Honestly, he couldn't feel pain, so he tore himself up inside his own mind. He just wanted to be normal.

This game is crazy beautiful, as well as in its race building. Baldur’s fighting style is a mix of Aesir strength and Vanir elemental magic. While Thor’s is more insane strength mixed with the unstoppable power of mjolnir.

Baldur’s story is fantastic. In a way both Kratos and Baldur are the same, but Kratos has figured out a way to control the pain he had felt. He figured out a way to control his anger as he said to Atreus. Baldur is blinded by his anger (and understandably so). Opposite sides of a coin, immovable object vs unstoppable force, the ruthless and emotionally/mentally strong vs the invulnerable and fueled by rage from a century of mental torture. In a way they are the same coin, the same objects, and the same souls deep down. The perfect enemy to fight and one that will genuinely leave a lasting impression for years as he already has.

Baldur is what Kratos was in the Greek Trilogy: An angry, violent, hateful young man who lost everything due to trusting the wrong person and is obsessed with taking revenge against his godly parent.

I have genuinely never wanted a "villain" to win more in my entire life, revenge was his to take, it's the least he deserved. Freya certainly didn't deserve forgiveness because she *never* changed, him being cured was entirely accidental, her death by his hands was more than earned. Instead the only thing he got to feel in his entire life was a brief amount of cold and pain before his victory was stolen from him by an unrelated party.

@co7769

I don’t know if you can call his last fight a “brief” amount of pain. The man was stabbed, burned, frozen, electrified and beaten to a literal bloody pulp. Yet he was in ecstasy. I hope that at the very least, he enjoyed the fight to the fullest. He also felt the cold ever since the spell was broken so I don’t think him feeling the cold was brief either.

Still sad for Baldur, I mean, in the real mythology, he was a kind god, and it still showed here, just look at the scene in Helheim, instead of killing Freya immediately, which the current him would with no hesitation, the past him just left her, not doing anything, just leaving her.

The only time the name Kratos is mentioned in this game was in the end when Freya was talking to him not to kill Baldur. How did she know his name? Was Olympus' destruction that widely known?

Is no one going to talk about how Baldur looked like he was going to make peace with them after the spell got lifted? He straight looked like he cupped his hands together and was about to thank them until freya stepped in again

No, if you look closely, right before he turns around Baldur frowns his eyebrows and his eyes become focused. That expression is of someone ready to fight not of someone about to be thankful.

When video games have better a script than all mythical movie epics from the last ten years put together.

The old Kratos wouldn't have hesitated for a second tearing Baldur's head off simply for knocking on his door. Him now taking verbal and physical abuse, only grudgingly fighting back and even holding back so not to endanger his son really shows how much Kratos has changed since he came to Midgard. If he had gone all out like against the Pantheon of Olympus (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Hercules, Ares, etc.), the entire area would be nothing but a massive crater.

bladur is the most jacked skinny guy I've ever seen. what I (a naturally skinny person) give and or do for a physic like that

I just realized, it wasn’t just Freya that caused Baldur to have a needless death, it was also Odin since he sent Baldur on a wild goose chase with empty promises.

Few campaigns I can just watch like this, such a visual master piece cinematically, and the story leaves me in awe… God I love this series so much. Thanks for this ordered grouping of all the scenes this chapter had to offer. To think it’d be cool to see an anthology type of one of these, of all the games in the series when it concludes in the hopeful very far future because this series has so much value to offer and unravel as of now. Anyway, it is appreciated.

I never liked Fraye. I understand that she wants revenge for her sons death, and that she didn’t want him to die, but the fact is she was beyond controlling as a parent should. A parent needs to have control in order to raise their children, but to literally control every second of every moment and therefore deny a child to develop enough of their own life in order to begin handling the world, is more harm than good. A child needs to get scraps on their knees, needs to climb trees and maybe break a bone, it helps them to learn how not to do things and it’s more effective than simply saying it will hurt. I’m old enough to understand (somewhat) how both of my parents want me to grow up and maybe not be hurt by the world, yet they have given me enough room for me to learn heartbrakes, money saving and so forth. It’s been developing moments that help me to understand how they want to protect their child from a world that does have a lot of darkness, yet they also have showed me the good it still has too.

@@animatednerd3428 I'm sorry but I gonna disagree HEAVILY. Freya knew from the very beginning that mistletoe was the one thing that could end his curse. Even when he was on his knee's crying & begging her to take it away, she did NOTHING because she was so focused on keeping him from dying that she forgot about what made HIM happy. That's not good parenting, that's really being so over-protected that she doesn't care about the consequences in her actions, even when the curse is broken she's upset and horrified that her son can feel again. Multiple times from the start of the battle to the end of it, she tries to bind him and keep him from doing what he wants. That's someone who'll do whatever they can to keep someone close to them save regardless if that person agreed to it or not. Honestly it's sad because she tried to prevent his death and in the end, she was the one who caused it to happen. Baldur was a victim of his mother selfish desire to keep him safe from everything and that caused him to go insane from not being able to feel anything. Was he justified in wanting to kill her? Absolutely. But Kratos was there and it was because he was high of the fact he could finally feel again for the second time in centuries and the fact that he wanted revenge, he got neck snapped plain and simple.

the animated nerd actually she doesn’t know it would bring Ragnarok, in this story according to the wiki the runes fortold he would suffer a “needless death”. In this GOW version of Norse mythology none of the characters know what causes Ragnarök to start.

In the words of Three Days Grace, Baldur would rather feel pain than nothing at all.

Baldur is the best character in GOW and you will not change my mind.
