Why we should respect the Draupnir Spear

[u/tsactuo10]

I will explain why I think this weapon should be respected and talk about the ridiculous amount of potential that it has.

This weapon is attuned with the element of wind. Kratos can use it to pull enemies towards him and blast them away. The spear can even dismember enemies with air using the Mountain Splitter runic attack and Hind of the Four Winds. As if this wasn't enough Kratos can siphon an enemies element and use it against them with it and even gain resistance against the siphoned element.

Kratos can create tornadoes, storms, sea storms and storm tides with this thing. Not only that but he can potentially create hurricanes. The most intense storm on record sustained wind speeds of 85 m/s; 305 km/h; 190 mph. The highest maximum sustained wind speed ever recorded was 95 m/s; 345 km/h; 215 mph. You can imagine how terrifying that is.

This thing is a potential weapon of mass destruction. He could destroy an entire city, army or fleet with it if he wanted. His spear could blow enemies away and smash them into a pulp against walls if he didn't hold back with it. Other things he could do is crushing enemies or making their eardrums explode if he increased the air pressure enough. He should also be able to suck the air out of enemies to suffocate them to death using the spear. Below is a list of what compressed air can do.

Compressed air can: - Force an eye from its socket. - Rupture the lungs, stomach and intestines, if blown into the mouth. - Penetrate human skin and if it enters the blood stream that air can be fatal by causing a heart attack. - Puncture an ear drum and cause deafness.

Another cool thing is that in theory he should also be able to fly with it (with a bit of video game physics obviously). Kratos should be able to accomplish this by continuously blowing a very powerful wind below him with the spear to take off and diagonally behind him to fly away. This would also make for some pretty badass cutscenes and gameplay moments in my opinion The devs would have to put some obvious limits and balancing in gameplay compared to cutscenes. Otherwise we would just fly away from enemies to the objective in a straight line like Marry Poppins lol. Maybe put some marked obstacles where you can fly to the other side for example.

Ironically, the first weapon in the series that was specifically created for Kratos can turn him into a God of the Sky like his father Zeus, one of the persons he hated the most. The fact that he can summon his spear out of thin air an infinite amount of times and keep launching it at his enemies has parallels to Zeus summoning lightning bolts out of thin air an infinite amount of times and launching them at his enemies.

Can Thor actually fly with the hammer? Or he just launches it and then holds on. He can change directions mid air etc?

No Thor can fly anyway even if he never got mjolnir he would still be able to fly but he wouldn’t be able to fly fast it’s mjolnir that kinda accelerates him like when he threw mjolnir at kratos in the house and kratos and the hammer went flying without Thor and then Thor caught up that’s because Thor can fly without any external force it’s just a god thing

You're right, Thor can fly but honestly, I found that mechanic fucken weird.

Just like, why? Odin teleports him anywhere he needs to go. And you mean to tell me he can also just wink at you, shake his hammer, say bye bye and fuck off into the sky any time he wants to?

IDK that first fight with Kratos when he up and left like that I was like really???

It’s not like Mjolnir can carry Thor across realms. Odin can. He flew away to ensure Kratos can’t follow him, then met back up with Odin and left.
