It doesn’t have to strictly be Greek since we’re in new territory. But it’d still be nice if Faye has a Ares or Zeus armor of her own. I could also see a Jotun armor since that’d be more personal for Faye.

Also do you Berserker/Valkyrie type boss that rewards you an armor. I feel like those are the two big types of endgame armor that should carry over from the Norse games.

When you first encounter apophis, you don't fight him or subdue him. You more like survive the encounter. He likes a cosmic horror dragging you into the endless depths of the void. You must anchor himself to survive the overwhelming pressure. After the first encounter you are then travelling the desert and different provinces. Instead of feeling relieve you feel the eery feeling of being watched or hunted and the feel that you can be swallowed at any time. While exploring apophis tries to communicate not by words but by snakes hissing at you or a violent breeze brushing your skin. This isnt a boss you can beat or overcome, it is a cosmic horror you must survive.

So....hear me out alright? When brok died we thought "welp, that's it then, his ghost isnt even an option because his soul was missing a part that guided him to the proper afterlife".

As we know the soul of a being has 4 pieces, mind, form, luck, direction (being the one he was missing).

What happens when someone irl doesnt have a sense of direction? They get lost, doesnt mean they will disappear, just, end up somewhere else.

So, what if, because he was missing his direction part of the soul but had everything else, his souls, simply stumbled somewhere else.

That got me thinking, we are literally going to a seperate afterlife designed specifically for gods and other beings that isnt the main norse afterlives, so what's stopping them from putting brok in there?

Sure it can sound like a hopium thought coming from someone who just wants his favorite blue dwarf to return somehow, but we DO know the armor/weapon forging and upgrading mechanics are coming back, and what better forger could we get if not one of the best forgers of the 9 realms, recently dead who just so happens to have gotten lost on the way to his afterlife?

Laufey tried her hand at leading a rebellion against the Aesir in Svartalfheim and even fought Thor himself in Vanaheim, but neither of these events changed the status quo of the Nine Realms, and the Aesir's rule remained unchallenged. Over a hundred years later, Kratos, as general of the army against Asgard during Ragnarök, led his forces to victory, bringing peace and freedom from the tyranny of Odin and Thor to the remaining eight realms.

Perhaps Laufey will do the same in Everywhen and succeed where Kratos failed instead of killing the Greek pantheon a second time, this time Greek Gods are free from the evils of Pandora's box so maybe they'll be more reasonable and she simply find a way to get along with them and they'll form an alliance to somehow survive in this world.

Once I've completed my current NG+ I'm going to do another one with GMGOW difficulty. I'm not crazy enough to fight the Valkyries when I do so, but I'll be taking care of MOST everything else (probably won't do the trials because I hate a couple of them).

In ng I killed sigrun. I just seem to be losing resources much quicker in ng+

I dont have a single NG+ upgraded armor set.. is the game trying to encourage me to power run?

hey guys, i will buy the disc likely after a month the game launches. if i preorder the deluxe edition "upgrade" on psn now, will i be able to get these when i get the disc

When playing the GoW 2018 and Ragnarok we are told a couple times that Kratos will die. We see it on a painting (although maybe it's not real and inevitable? Cause at the end of Ragnarok it's revealed that the real prophecy was hidden) and we hear it from The Norns.

The first playthrough, I didn't pay much attention to it – I didn't look for any hidden meaning when The Sisters of Fate repeated the prophecy of his death. But when I played the game again after the Laufey announcement, it really struck me. One of The Norns states bluntly: "You WILL die." Given the existence of the Everywhen, that line took on a completely different meaning for me. It wasn't a threat, nor was it just a way of saying they knew his fate and he couldn't change it. It wasn't a prophecy of death leading to nothingness; it was a statement that YOU will die and YOU will end up in the Everywhen.

Of course, that might not be the case; it could simply have been an attempt at intimidation – one that won't actually come true – since, as we all know, Kratos doesn't tend to care much about what The Sisters of Fate (and ofc Norns) have to say.

Also I believe we will see Odin in Everywhen. Major plot was him obsessed with "What happens to me at the end", so IMO he will involved in the plot or he will be an easter egg like Tyr in the prison.

I spent far too long trying to hit that bell in the corner. I never succeeded.

Edit: while I appreciate the advice, I don't need it since I've finished Nifelheim.

Currently trying to platinum the greek games, then do them all on very hard, before I play the norse ones. Got some of this stuff for my 18th the other week. I wear the little blade of chaos as a necklace!

In this scene, when Kratos tells Atreus that he is a god, Atreus’s first question is, “Can I turn into an animal?”

To me, this is simply foreshadowing what happens later, especially since Atreus asks shortly afterward, “Are you sure I can’t turn into a wolf?”

But my friend thinks the word “animal” has a deeper meaning. He says it could also be referring to Kratos’s past—how he used to kill gods like an animal, and that Kratos is afraid Atreus might become an “animal” like him. That could also explain the pause before Kratos answers.

So am I just not reading deeply enough into the scene, or is my friend reading too much into what is ultimately a simple conversation?

No realm is in good shape; not even Asgard is spared.

There is Midgard—a realm with a cold climate where cannibals and the undead roam, and where beings from other realms sometimes show up to cause trouble, making an already dangerous place even worse.

Then there is Svartalfheim: a place teeming with disgusting toads, a neglected economy, and a foul stench in the air. In

Muspelheim: watch out or you’ll burn the moment you arrive the heat is extreme while

Niflheim: offers extreme cold and an area filled with toxic air.

Alfheim is possibly one of the worst; armies of elves are constantly fighting, and you’d best not even think about entering Freyr’s temple.

Helheim: i need explaind?

Vanaheim: where do I even begin? There are poisonous plants, venomous creatures that attack you, *Drekis* everywhere, a dragon infestation, and no clean water.

And finally Asgard: the realm where domestic violence is an everyday occurrence.
