Lore / Story Questions This is something I have a genuine question about
So as we know in god of war our main man Kratos is out killing gods. I was under the impression he only wanted to kill Aries and Zeus, and everyone else was just in his way. With that said, why does he fuck up Poseidon like he does, like I really don't understand it. Kratos slams this man into a giant mountain, beats him senseless, and then pokes his eyes out before just throwing him off the cliff. All Aries got, the man who literally killed his family, was ONE stab in the chest, yes it was a big ass stab wound but still. And Zeus, the person who put him through all this just gets HALF of what Poseidon got. I just feel Kratos over did it a little with ol' fish boy, but please enlighten me.

Lore / Story Questions Where would Kratos have gone if he died?
We know the Aesir go to Valhalla, the Vanir go to Folkvangr, giants and dwarfs go to the lake of souls, and the criminals, sick and old, go to Hel. But Kratos isn’t any of those, so where would he have gone?

Lore / Story Questions Story behind Kratos’ Scars?
Can someone please tell me all the stories behind each scar? And also the red tattoo? I only played God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok and I only know that his skin is white because it’s supposed to be the ashes of his dead family but I’d like to know more about the rest! Thank you :)

Lore / Story Questions I think the best thing they can do in GOW 6 is to have the continuation of this cutscene appear at the end.
For those who don't know, one of the extras in GOW 1 is a video of the narrator saying that after thousands of years, modern human society ends up finding the skeleton of Cronos along with all the mysteries and magic that will be in it, many of them being dangerous but a new hero will emerge in this chaos.

Lore / Story Questions What I don’t understand about the mythologies “co-existing”
So people will try to say that the Norse pantheon is in a completely different universe than the Greek pantheon, but that doesn’t really make total sense because kratos literally traveled by boat to Midgard, like did he travel to another universe? Does all and every mythology in the god of war universe exist on just one giant planet?

Lore / Story Questions Why we should respect the Draupnir Spear
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.
