As a guy who played god of war 4 and 5, and watched the playthroughs of the old ones, i can say i was really proud of kratos who had finally achieved redemption.
He had already achieved redemption in 3 by sacrificing himself and releasing literal hope to the world.

You really should play the older games
As someone who has played since 2005, it's an honor to keep gaining loyal God of War fans.
“May it be put down when the job is done” what a loving blessing. Ensuring that Kratos isn’t haunted by the same burden his blades bring.
Oh...
5:20
For me, one of the most overlooked aspects of OG games is how much Kratos fucking hates himself, more than Ares, more than Zeus. The first game opens with him trying to kill himself, and throughout the entirety of the Greek saga he continues to descend more and more into self-hatred. That’s way, by the end of Ragnarok, when he realizes that other people are finally able to look to him as something more than a monster, he is finally able to do the same thing. And that is really beautiful.
Agreed. I mean it’s what 3 times we see him attempt suicide.
He tried to jump to his death in 1
Blow himself up in assention
And stabbed himself in 3.
Plus we know based on dialogue he tried one more time before meeting fay. I think he tried to drown himself on that one
He fight against his fate just as much as he tries to kill himself. That a really sad irony
Best part of Ragnarok are the missions with Freya. When Kratos tells her his origin story it breaks her. The pain they've both been through and their trial of overcoming that is very well done
I don't see anyone commenting about Fae's lines: "The culmination of love is grief" and "To grieve deeply is to have loved fully"; like goddamn, "And yet we love despite the inevitable" of course such a good thing as love comes with the ultimate price...
its combination but yea its one of the hardest quote
No it's culmination. Culmination means highest point. The highest point of love, is grief.
@@vatsankanekiken4239
The older I get the more absurd the “love” as a word gets. It’s a cheap concept that tries to associate happiness with each other instead of individual and a nature.
@@BFGF42I feel like the word isn’t cheap but can be diminished as some don’t see the true value in the word. Let alone follow what it means to love another. Love is hard, exhausting, tiring. Some days to love feels like the world is weighing down on you. It’s hard to carry such a burden. But love can be so powerful. It helps us grow. Makes us stronger. Marriage is the highest definition of this word. Too many though don’t understand once your committed to such things all that come with that word. I love deeply but show it more then say it. I would die for those I love. At the same point I love even those I don’t know. I would die for you to my friend if that meant you could live a good life! Hope you’re well!
"And still I follow!" The emotion in those words
It is a sacrifice only a parent can make. You’ll understand one day.

@@kr3s578my cats are always strange, but still I support them
“It’s just a game”
Just balled my eyes out bruh
same, did it when i played the game and watching this
Birgri sacrifice made me ball the tall dude that took down the 2 dragons
@@BrysonJones45SPOILERS:
He's alive, if do the mission where you follow the dog you'll find him.
@@OregonsWondersYT WAIT FOR REAL NO WAY
@@BrysonJones45 Yes. The favor for the dog will auto start once you walk out of Freyr's camp. Follow him and he will lead you to Freyr's boat launch. Once you get to the Crater go all the way left. Or look up a tutorial. Good luck :)
"You will die Kratos of Sparta"
"death can have me when it earns me"
Felt that part❤
Now after the Valhalla dlc, We have come full circle, I am so proud of the character he has become, the character development he has gone through, possibly the best in gaming history. He has now accepted his past and no longer carries the same hate for himself, he truly is becoming the god of hope deserving of worship. A true hero. What a character, he will forever be in all our hearts.
"death can have me when it earns me"
that's my all-time favorite Kratos quote
before that it was "I AM WHAT THE GODS HAVE MADE ME"
7:49 “To grief deeply, is to have loved fully” beautiful line
1:52 I love this scene... Atreus is so sweet, he can't hold back his smile 'cause seeing his dad proud of him is all that he wants. And Kratos opening his heart like he never has done before it's so heartwarming. I feel like Kratos really needs this kind of relationships with other men, like a sort of brotherhood that reminds to him of his brother of blood Deimos and his brothers of army, the spartans. As a woman I really like this kind of masculinity, being a bit awkward but still loyal and caring. Manhood is heavy in this world of rage and war, but finally he manage to be vulnerable with Atreus, he apologize and he even cries.
Beautifully crafted. Absolutely love how you intertwined the older games throughout the video.
Appreciate it, man. Thank you for watching!
Yeah, 2:10 to 2:17 is my favourite.
@@AmaranthOffyou should make a similar one with “blood upon the snow” would be amazing :))
Literally, the parts of the old game are what were missing from all the other videos I saw like this. The old games were crucial to his development and growth, and the things he was growing away from
😅s😅😅
you can feel his growth and doubt throughout the video in almost every aspect, the music, the audio clips and the visuals. 12/10 work as usual
All I can say is thank you, thank you so much. I really do appreciate the kind words!
I played ghost of sparta and gow 1 and 2 when i was a kid. I played gow and ragnarok as a Man. I never realized how angry was Kratos every time in the classic. A real example of redemption
A tear came when kratos told the story of the man who chops wood.
Again an incredible production from a legendary creator beautiful work wouldn’t change a thing about it thank you ❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
I'm weirdly glad to hear it.
Awe shucks, you're too kind 🥰 Thank you so much for watching and commenting. It honestly means the world
@@AmaranthOff honestly I thought you wouldn’t of been able to one up the one with hurt by Johnny cash as the song that was brilliant but this… just 👏👏❤️❤️
@@tookster9105 You talking the one by Poseidon or another one?
This deserves SOOOO much more attention. This deserves many awards, its the best fan made video ive ever seen. Good fucking job man, chills down my spine many times throughout this video. Well done.
Ahh, you're too kind. Thank you so much for the support and kind words. It means more than you know
Kratos seeing himself becoming a god worthy of love makes me happy
It hit me awhile ago that God of war (the new series) and ragnorak is about Kratos redeeming himself. In the original God of war Kratos lost his family and destroyed the greek world and in this one he gets a second chance at family and saves the norse world. That's what's brought me to this video to see if anybody saw it the same as I do.
Great minds think alike. Thank you for watching, man!
@@AmaranthOff Your welcome.
What a beautiful tribute to a complicated character. I've been so impressed with the evolution of Kratos over the last two games. You did an amazing job!
Can't wait to see where his journey takes him next. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
@@AmaranthOff same here. Cannot wait for more.
5:28 Four lines defined the pain, past, love, affection and vengence and a beautiful edit that is saved forever.
R. I. P. To the legendary blacksmith Brok
"I saw a path.....one I had never imagined" IM CRYING BRO😩
The greatest redemption story arc in gaming.
Its up there. Tied with rd2
Man., Please make more of these. The emotion and beauty in its flow of storytelling is amazing.
Kratos has been through so much hell that he somehow is able to move on and Focus on being a better person.
The death of brok. Broke me. One of my favorite characters ever in God of War.
No death can have me when it earns me 4:57 this part was so freaking cool!! Incredible work
This is an art piece. Goosebumps all over...
Awe shucks 🥰
You know, I was already really enjoying this by this point but when I realised you where putting “You are a memory” to the story kratos tells a the final section I new this was something special. This video is really well paced and has afantastic command of tone. My singular favourite editing choice you made is probably the paralleling of young Kratos with Freya at 7:26 right before the somber equivalent of a beet drop comes in a few seconds later. It had tough competition from the traumatic montage at 2:07, especially with how the soundscape builds until all that is metaphorically left of kratos’s past a roaring flames.
On a slightly different point, it is my observation that you’re God of War edits, have particularly high quality clips of the Greek era games in terms of both audio and video. You definitely have the highest quality footage of either chains of Olympus or ghost of Sparta that I’ve seen. Have you ever considered uploading the footage you record for edits in to some kind of “video game editing resource” playlist? Seeing that there is a higher bar to entry for editing video games well, it might help more people make high-quality content.
Regardless, this is a superb tribute and I just know I’m going to find myself rewatching this many, many times.
Thank you so much, my friend. I'm always looking forward to your insightful comments and fantastic support, and this is a good one. I really appreciate everything!
As for the greek era games, I decided to record everything myself, so that explains the high quality.
I haven't really considered uploading my footage and audio. Still, I'm definitely not opposed to the idea. However, with RUclips's compression of videos, I doubt the footage would retain its full quality (still probably worth uploading). However, solely from an audio perspective, it would absolutely do wonders as a resource. I'll likely upload everything at some point. No clue when that will be, though.
Once again, thank you so much for your support. It means more than you know. Cheers!
You and your work are more than deserving of support, i’m glad to give it in a small way.
As for the RUclips compression. I’m under the impression that there are certain tricks are content. Creator can use to decrease, but not eliminate the compression applied. Something to do with editing certain values before the upload occurs. I’m sure there’s resources out there about exactly that. Either way, the audio would be insanely useful to a bunch of people. (Including me, since I don’t actually have the hardware to play the God of war series, and have only experienced it as a story rather than a game)
P.s. i’m something of a video editing person myself (the life has gotten in the way of making content recently) and seeing that you have expressed familiarity with Halo in the past I was wondering if you would share your opinion on one particular video I made. Namely the John 117 road to Infinite tribute I made in anticipation of Halo infinite releases. I’d be gratified to know what you think of it seeing that it is both my longest, and in my opinion, my best video. Link: ruclips.net/video/HD2Am3J_YYM/видео.html
Regardless, I look forward to seeing whatever future stuff you come out with.
@@rohanthomas4134 I see. I'll look into the editing process to avoid RUclips's compression. As I said, I have no clue when I'll get it all together and have it uploaded, as life is about to get very hectic and exhausting soon. But I'll get there :))
As for Halo, I'm planning on doing a video at some point. Got all the footage and audio just need to put it all together, which is a task in and of itself.
I'll absolutely check out your video when I get a chance. I checked out the first 5 minutes, and I can already tell that there has been a fantastic amount of care and attention to detail placed into the video. Cheers!
Death can have me, when it earns me…one of the hardest quotes from any franchise. Keep up your vids man that was so sick
That was beautiful, chills and all of the emotions. Perfect
Thank you so much, Alex :))
I've watched your video probably more than ten times and every time I enjoyed it. A very cool video from a true fan of this series of games
Let’s GOOOOOO I’VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS
Hope you enjoy, man :))
the way the snuck in previous lines from gow4 to ragnarok was one of my favorite things about the game, absolute masterpieces. truly works of art.
Ive watched this so many times. And after playing Valhalla DLC and rewatching that ending so many times, makes me want a sequel to this incorporating it now. This is sheer unadulterated beauty you have made bravo
I do plan on making a small video on the DLC. I’ve got everything recorded and it’s just a matter of putting it all together, but I don’t know when I’ll get around to it. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate it!
the best edit i have ever seen
These games of your special place in my heart I played God of War 3 while my dad was in the hospital and sadly passed away 7 years later I still play
Saw this on reddit, I had to Sub, Like, and comment. Made a tear fall down my eye, I grew up on GOW so this truly hits deeply and leaves me with goosebumps
I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for stopping by and subscribing. It's all really appreciated!
I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such an outstanding video.
As a father the best sentence in the game is “Don’t be sorry, BE better!
God bless…
Love this the especially when he starts talking about the old logger! The last bit always hits
This deserves a mill views at least
Every single man, father or not, should know and digest this story. There is no better representation of what masculinity entails and hopes to be than this. We are the men chopping wood, getting tired and old, only to discover that there is nothing wrong to asking for help. We must be better.
I watched the video again after ages. It's just perfect, the game is perfect. Thank you for editing the video, it's a masterpiece. Now I feel like playing the games again
Thank you so much for the kind words and for coming back to the video! I really appreciate it
Quite possibly the greatest story of redemption ever written
The games in itself are a work of art, but this edit is what we call “perfection”.
-Lnd
The culmination of love is grief
Amazing edit bro shows how far Kratos has really come as a character
I never had a PS2 but i used to play the first 2 games with a friend. Got a ps3 and I couldn’t finish any of the Greek games cuz I just felt like were beat ‘em ups. But when 2018 came out… i got the plat and that became my favourite game of all time. Until Ragnarok, which is now my fav. I can’t wait to revisit the Greek games with a newfound passion for the series. As someone who is on a bit of redemption arc myself… I really relate to the character. Unbelievable work ❤
Im sitting here watching/ listening to this vid on repeat, while i work on my God of War drawing...and the EMOTION HITS!! I LOVE IT, GREAT CONTENT, THANK YOU!!
Kratos has become my favourite video game character of all time.
I became a fan since the 1st one on PS2 and followed the whole story. This piece of art you've created is amazing. And I can't stop watching without tearing up.
Wow! I'm completely lost for words at how powerful this video is. You tell Kratos' story so poetically and capture all the emotion and parallels so well. This is truly a brilliant piece of work 🔥
Very good, high quality video and editing. You also added scenes from previous games in the perfect moments. I can't even put it into words. Too good for one like. Every fan God of War must see this video❤👍
This is a masterpiece. Both the games and your edit. Amazing, truly.
Thank you so much :))
That was so..Warmth, warmth of heartbreaking. I cried a few times through that wonderful great work made Edit.
Thank you
5:00 is definitely the best part. When Odin ask Kratos if they ever worshipped them and then proceed to show the last spartan soldier who still believes in his god while being killed by him.
Happy to see someone pick up on that. Thank you for watching
8:23 that line is perfect love it
This edit brought more emotion out of me than half the movies I've watched
I’m weirdly glad to hear it. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I think not playing the og games does a disservice to such an incredible redemption story.
Just wanted you to know I watch this before the gym daily, thank you for putting this masterpiece together. You’ve affected lives without even knowing
That's absolutely insane to read. Thank you so much, and I hope the gym is going well!
Oscar worthy masterpiece
This is my 9th time watching this wonderful crafted art piece
(Edit): I'm proud to have played and platinumed both 4 and 5, kratos matured me as a person and I respect him for it ❤❤
I can't believe it's my tenth 😢😢❤. The most beautiful fan video dedicated to a character of a game.
best Kratos tribute I've seen
Kratos is one of few characters that motivated me to be better. Thank you for making this piece of art!
3:56 I feel like Athena will return as a villain in a future game.
A person's growth is divided into 2 stages, before playing god of war and after playing god of war
This deserves so much more attention. I found this last night and I’ve already watched it twice
Thank you for this.
As a man only 3 game franchises have brought tears to my eyes, god of war saga , red dead redemption and last of us
This brilliant beast of a man, father, God, person really worked hard and changed himself and he totally deserves his redemption ❤
Incredible. The way you wove moments from his life together made those words feel real all over again. Thank you
When did video games start having such better storytelling than all the writers in Hollywood out together?
Brilliant video that pays tribute to a fantastic series.
This is beautiful well done bro
Thank you, man. Good to see you around :))
That is probably the greatest - let's call it a tribute - I've ever seen, none earlier made me emotional, and this one is so, so much more.
Wow, thank you so much, Argo. I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for watching!
@@AmaranthOff You totally deserve it!
Kratos scream at 1:11 so legendary full rage, anger and emotion
The end when Kratos calls mimir brotha hits hard
A truly beautifully crafted edit
I always connected myself to Kratos, a man who tries to change for the better, to change to a better man, however the world and fate is against him every part of the way trying to force him back to his old ways.
Put this shit on a award show u killed this man I can’t express the emotional roller coaster amazing movie bro
One of the best videos ever made about Gof od war games
I've had this saved to watch until I finished Ragnarok. So glad I came back to watch this. What a great tribute
I'm glad you came back too! Thank you so much for watching :))
We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been. Who I was is not who you will be. You must be better than me.
I was recommend to your videos after watching some older ME ones. I must say, you have shown tremendous growth, your pacing is top notch and I love how you hold tension with the videos. I'm a huge fan and cant wait for the next one.
The best edit of God of War i've seen in my entire life. Thank you very much for this!
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate it :))
Truly beautiful and amazing video, thank you.
I just live the transition of og God of War games into what they are now, some top-tyr cinema quality is in these games.
All the dialogues of this game has a meaning that let u think and understand twice.
This is very well made, thank you.
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching :))
This is the best tribute I’ve seen , for the best character in entertainment history, well done my friend 👏🏼
Amazing edit bro
Mans these edits know how to hit deep in the feelings man. Great work.
Had me in tears, worth a watch. A work of art to say the least
This would be one of the best edits I’ve seen in a while
This game always brings tears to my eyes 😭
Grateful to have experienced this series in my lifetime
So sad to see the god of war hope edit was removed. Love that one you did
To all those who started from the original God of war....we are in the endgame and its leading to a beautiful end hope we all be there
Hands down the best God of War video I have ever watched
Thank you so much 🥰
Small thing but I love that you didn't use subtitles and and kept the classic default armor
God, I now wish this included Valhalla’s moments as well, so well made!
I don't care about what the haters say, this game is a masterpieche.
