So anyone up to speculating/deciphering/finding all those "easter eggs" in the trailer? Here's some:
>Dautnamunni ( meanin openin/mouth, at least one anonbro said so)?
>What is that creature flying in 6:47?
>What about that lurking ghost in 3:32?
>Runes on the boys hand, neck & house entrance (apparently hand runes mean luck/good aim, door runes say something like 'we are just travellers')?
>Glowing antlers?
>What does that troll say about Valhalla?
>Is there something specific about the carvings on Kratos's axe?
>Jörmungandr/big fucking snake?
Of course some of these are hardly an easter egg, but interesting nonetheless.
Now what about that earlier passage/tunnel/cave? If I decipher those runes right, it says 'Endrbua' above the entrance (3:43 on trailer). Now using just wiktionary knowledge: endr - (transitive) to change (to make something into something different), endr being imperative. And bua/búa - to reside. So maybe it translates to something like 'mafe for living/residing.
So, what else, guys?

pic is from a supposed leak, looks a bit same as that floating ghost
Here's the ghost, stolen from another anon.
>>342028945
And here's that big fucking snake, stolen in similar fashion.
>>342028945
too spooky
Calling this right now, boys mother is Freya, and she isn't actually dead. She's that ghost thing that follows her son.
Is that giant colossal titan looking thing that was strung up in the cave relevant to any norse myths?
>>342028945
its fucking athena again, bet shes sucking some norse god cock
>>342028601
Skadi skiing fight confirmed? Kratos gets skis?
>>342030307
>>342028945
>"Freya didn't discriminate in her choice of lovers: All Gods were fair game. When Freya appeared draped in her feathered cloak and wearing nothing but her magic amber necklace, none could resist her."
>"Freya taught magic to the Aesir, Odin in particular. Freya's magic is termed Seidr - a type of trance magic whose fully realized forms include shape shifting and astral projection. Freya herself has a falcon cloak which allows any who wears it to become a bird."
>The goddess Freya reminds us to explore and acknowledge all of our emotions, longings, and traits, even those we wish we didn't possess.
If you feel awed by the wonder of veins in leaves in the lush green trees and feel your knees go weak at the joy of being alive, the passionate goddess of love is working in you. Freja's gifts are those that make us overjoyed to be alive!"
Fits with Kratos exploring his soft side
>"Freja loves all things that give pleasure, she indulges in love, romance and lovemaking - always walking in harmony and beauty. Her power brings men and women together to create new life, and she is the gentle goddess who ends life in order to perpetuate the circle of life with love and trust. According to Nordic myth she was also the Warrior Goddess who was hostess to fallen war heroes in her great hall."
Also something to note, Kratos has a blowhorn carried on his waist. Heimdall is known as the mighty hornblower. Don't know what to make of this yet.
>>342030963
why is she such a slut?
>>342031664
It could just be a drinking horn
>>342031680
>>342030963
female zeus?
>tfw Norwegian
>tfw de kommer knulle det till faenskap og spillet blir bare dritt
>>342031924
Lets just hope they consulted people who actually know their shit, and didn't just ignore them. At least this isn't marvel or some shit.
>>342032572
We can hope.
>>342031664
>"Heimdallr, in Old Norse, is the watchman of the gods. Called the shining god and whitest skinned of the gods, Heimdall dwelt at the entry to Asgard, where he guarded Bifrost, the rainbow bridge. He required less sleep than a bird, could see 100 leagues, and could hear grass growing in the meadows and wool growing on sheep. Heimdall kept the “ringing” horn, Gjallarhorn, which could be heard throughout heaven, earth, and the lower world; it was believed that he would sound the horn to summon the gods when their enemies, the giants, drew near at the Ragnarök, the end of the world of gods and men. When that time came, Heimdall and his enemy Loki would slay each other."
(Enciclopedia Britannica)
>Kratos is white af because ash, has a horn and chills in some cabin, where he can watch the world and wait for ragnarök. Also, ebin fight with Loki confirmed?
>>342032572
I'm sure they'll fuck it up and make them all evil to give Kratos a reason to kill the gods just like the Greek pantheon.
>>342032981
How fucking bored to you have to be waiting for Ragnarök that you listen to fucking grass growing? Jesus Christ being Heimdallr must have been shit
>>342033206
Maybe Kratos somehow starts Ragnarök, and participates in the great battle. You don't need to be evil to participate in a battle, battle is for glory. Most of the Aesir are some kind of warriors anyway, right?
>>342032981
>whitest skinned of the gods, Heimdall dwelt at the entry to Asgard, where he guarded Bifrost, the rainbow bridge.
I see why marvel had to make him black. a white man guarding an lgbt gate? never.
>anons not realizing the snake is the midgar serpent that heralds Ragnarok and the end times
Y'all niggers need to read more
>>342028601
Do you think Kratos made those toys for his son? Maybe he already dealt with the Gods before.
Everyone thinking this will be some huge, amazing adventure is forgetting that the kid is confirmed for the entire game. That limits storytelling by a metric fuckhuge. Good luck having a God of War scale game with a fucking kid attached to an entire button on your controller.
>>342035164
Don't know. I don't know what to make of those toys. They don't resemble anything in particular for me - yet at least. Maybe his mother made them.
What I'm googling now is that red/yellow shield on the ground. There's apparently a thing called a flag of Scandinavia, that has these colors. Google-fu still ensues..
>>342036160
>the blue toy - a jötunn / troll
>the toy fighting it with a hammer - thor
>the toy he kicks - sleipnir
>>342036692
Ah, makes perfect sense. Foreshadowing maybe?
Is the over-the-shoulder camera the new style of gameplay?
It doesn't feel all that conducive with an action game. The troll fight looks like the camera is
barely zoomed out enough and I feel like 1 on 3+ fights may seem to be a hassle due to the
width the camera is showing.
As usual it's as nice looking as ever and animations are smooth for the most part, but some of
it feels impractical. And what's with the stat bonuses? It seems redundant since you can't miss
any of them.
It'll probably be a good game, but some of these design choices make me raise an eyebrow.
>>342036870
im wondering why kratos would allow his kid to play with toys of gods that are clearly out to get them.
>>342037238
>And what's with the stat bonuses? It seems redundant since you can't miss any of them.
it was a staged scenario. You can probably pick and choose how/what he's taught
>>342037672
That would make sense.
Also seeing the rage meter when Kratos became angry during a cutscene was a nice touch.
OH SHIT!!
>>342038649
is that the green goblin?
>>342038848
It's a Bionicle
>>342031664
There's some runes on that horn.
So little white kiddies on /v/, what Norse goddesses can we fuck this time around?
>>342031882
Hardly as evil.
>>342035578
Maybe they will take him away for some scenes or you can leave him at home when you want. Is the game out yet? No. Shut up.
>>342040586
not sure if the game will have any sex in it.
didn't Sony to PC for that?
>>342041262
*get too
>>342038649
Seems like some kind of spear with two blades and some blue essence coming from it. Other than that, it's too blurry to see. Looks like some smiths appron, idk.
>>342035154
Midgard Serpent=Jormungandr.
Different words, same thing.
Not mine, could be bullshit.
>>342033206
But the Greek gods weren't portrayed as evil, except for Aries.kratos was the bad guy
>>342043636
>Aries
You mispelled AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Yeah, same. Still, it's just one song. I'm hopeful and predict that some of those older songs will make it to the GoW4 in some new form. There will surely be a moment/moments where Kratos become his angry old self.
>Rage if Sparta starts playing.
A man can hope.
>>342045395
of*
thred ded?
>>342046760
Thread dead
>>342048576
Fuck, I don't want to migrate into that other shit flinging thred. Here are the boots btw.
I'm assuming that the sigil on that boulder thing means fire. Can anyone confirm this? Not that it matters that much anyway, probably.
Also further inspection makes it look that the reason why Kratos's horn is red, is because it's covered in blood. I think that the game demo we have seen does not take place directly at the beginning of the game.
>>342035154
Fimvulvetr, and the Gjallarhorn, herald Ragnarok. The presence of Jormungandr (as well as Fenrir, Loki, a host from Niflheim, the Jotnar, and Surtr) is merely an aspect of it.
>>342028601
put thea fairytale for the demon lordenemies on it
>>342038649
onlyone I saw while watching the reveal, completely missed the ghost/snake/boots
also those holes on the axe (see them when the axe freezes) are probably visual upgrade slots
>>342043949
Yeah, the old composers are iconic to God of War.
Still, from the one song I've heard, GoW 4's music is way better than the music from Ascension.
I believe its pretty obvious the kid is thor
This will be the story of how kratos became odin
>>342052653
This...would actually be pretty fucking awesome. If Kratos created his own religion to dishonor the Greek gods even more now that they're dead.
>>342052653
I really hope its this with some good story behindIsnt Odin an asshole though? I dont know much about norse mythos
>>342052653
Now this idea I can dig.
>>342030515
Flayed Jotunn
>>342054574
If I know my Norse mythology decently enough, the worst thing Odin really does is occasionally walk around disguised as a human and kinda messes with people. Most of the Norse gods are pretty chill compared to Greek gods.
>>342043636
You haven't played through this series.
>>342049241
Considering Kratos's axe had a Sigil that led it to turn into ice when it glowed, it probably does mean fire.
>>342056324
"Kratos yelled at someone that makes him the bad guy XD"
All the Olympians have flaws, as do the Titans before them, but none of them were implacable mass murderers.
Kratos was tricked into killing his own family by bloodlust that he himself embraced, and Aries is arguably culpable, but no that's not enough for kratos, once he killed Aries he used his position as the God of war to indescriminately kill people, and then when the other gods tried to get him under control and when he realized they couldn't make him forget his own crime committed via his own mistakes he went on a psychotic rampage that literally destroyed the entire Greek world.
Anon just because you're playing kratos doesn't make him good.
>>342043636
i keep seeing people spelling his name Aries in these threads. are you yurop or something? I've always seen it as Ares.
>>342056969
No one ever said Kratos was good.
The other gods never did shit to stop Ares when he went around killing and kidnapping people, Athena even followed him around. They only stopped him when Kratos figure stepped in to do the dirty job, how the fuck is that "good"?
>>342057447
It is Ares, Aries is a zodiac sign
>>342056969
Kratos isn't a good guy. I'm not retarded anon.
But here's my question, have you played Ghost of Sparta?
>>342028945
where in the trailer is this? watched it again but i couldnt eye spy
So is this supposed to be like a Spartan guy living in Scandinavia or a reboot where Kratos is Nordic?
>>342058872
not a reboot, story continues from god of war 3. same kratos.
Does Norse mythos have something comparable to the Titans?
>>342052653
Why would Kratos become Odin?
>>342058073
It's really hard to spot, but whatch in HD and 3:32
>>342052653
That's retarded. Odin was the son of the first two humanoids in the universe, born from the tongue of a giant cow. Kratos, meanwhile, is not.
>>342059070
Giants and other powerful races
>>342060063
Odin kills Ymir and the frost giants, so Kratos=Odin because he will kill Ymir.
>>342059070
Yes, it does. Ymir and Audhumbla were the very first things to ever exist, and gave life to a lot of creatures. Ymir sweated out dozens upon dozens of trolls and jotnar, while Audhumbla scraped the very first Aesir out from its mouth. When the Aesir sired children of their own, they killed Ymir and drowned most of the trolls and jotnar in an ocean of blood, and used his corpse to make the world.
>>342061140
Right, just like how Kratos became Zeus for killing Kronos.
>>342043636
That's the way it was going until 3 made them "corrupted" so Kratos did the right thing
WAs an asspull
>>342057751
I didn't say the gods were good, they just aren't the bad guys, kratos has done terrible shit way worse than anything the gods had done
>>342058073
It's immediately above and left of the boy at timestamp 3:32~ish. Several seconds later, once Kratos starts walking forward, you can see it slink off towards the right as the camera starts panning left.
>>342030963
>inb4 bird cloak of Freya replaces Hermes Wings for gliding
"Jörmungandr" isn't wrong by any means. But it just so happens to be that every Nordic country calls it the Midgard Serpent. Even Iceland.
So I can't help but find it a bit peculiar that it's always the English speakers who keep calling it Jörmungandr. But then again, I guess that name is much more exotic.
>>342052097
Boots?
>>342060930
but kratos is son of zeus right? one of the first gods maybe the cow wil be symbolized as the old gods that way it would kinda make sense
idfk really though
>People think Kratos will be Odin.
The kid is gonna end up being Odin.
>>342065582
I'll gladly take this too
>>342060930
Zeus turned himself into animals.
He even turned his lovers into animals.
A Valkyre picked up Kratos at the end of GoW3, he's dead in Valhalla with a cute kid because he's still butthurt about Pandora.
>>342052653
Its been theorized that Tyr was originally the leader of the Norse pantheon and that Thor & Odin are based on an irl father/son duo who led norse ancestors, possibly during their migration
So yeah Kratos may be Odin
>>342064985
You can see Hermes boots in the bottom left corner near the beginning of the trailer
>>342059070
Jotuun, AKA fire giants, ice giants, etc
Pretty sure Loki & Odins mother was a Jotuun or something like that
>>342066303
Loki is part Frost Giant, yes. Odin's parents were the first two humans to come into existence.
>>342028945
>>342030963
Can someone spoonfeed where where did the FACT that Freya is Kratos' son mother came from?
Not interested in the fanfics
>>342066497
But how is that so when Odin & Loki are brothers
>inb4 some marvelfag tries to tell me thor & loki are brothers
>>342066905
Loki was never Odin's brother. In some versions of the myths, he was adopted by Odins parents, in others, he just showed up in Valhalla one day and they couldn't get him to leave.
>>342067046
Ok I remember reading Odin had two brothers but I mustve got the names wrong
>>342066692
Nothing is confirmed, almost everything is up for debate/speculation, and like it says in the OP, we speculate in this thread. So no FACTS for you tonight. If you have some other candidates for the mother, please come forth with them. Then again, if you're not interested in theories, I'm sorry I guess, there's nothing for you here.
>>342067256
That's fine, Norse mythology can get kind of complicated.
Speaking of, which God do you want to be a boss? Hard mode: No Thor.
>>342066905
I'm not seeing anything about Odin and Loki being actual brothers.
>>342067430
Yeah, sorry, retarded fanfics aren't my thing
>>342067464
Norse mythology only gets complicated after Catholic influence, same with Greek / Roman mythology.
You know, the whole Crusade thing destroying much of pagan mythology.
Except for Jews. They're still the self-hating pagans they are today.
>>342067464
Hel would make a cool boss. Fenris is almost a given, theres no way it wont be a boss. Baldr & Surtr would be cool too.
This game needs to make proper use of the Elves, Dark Elves & Dwarves too.
Maybe this game will have actual NPCs around
I expect that the kid will either be Thor or Odin, and instead of just being involved with the mythology this time around, Kratos helps create it this time around.
>>342054574
>Isnt Odin an asshole though?
Nope, Odin is literally the "good guy" version of Zeus. He sacrificed one of his eyes to see the future and know how the world was going to end. So with him knowing he could prevent it and save his people.
>>342068049
And he evacuated the whole of his pantheon so he could take Fenir on alone to assure the other Gods survival.
>ice Axe
>Fenir the Ice Wolf
KRATOS - FENIR
prove me wrong
>>342067046
>he just showed up in Valhalla one day and they couldn't get him to leave.
Loki was a mistake
>>342054574
Loki was the asshole.
>>342068363
>>342068309
Loki was both an asshole and a sort of decent guy. It depended on how he felt that day.
Why do people still think the kid is Odin or Thor when they clearly already exist? He was even playing with a Thor action figure.
>>342068049
>>342068141
Thats real fucking neat, I want Kratos into Odin even more now
>>342068279
>By the jötunn Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, the wolf Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr.
If GoW4 already has the snake and wolf wondering around, that means he is Odin and his son is Thor, or Kratos and his son have nothing to do with the mythology and are a deus ex machina.
>>342068485
Things aren't adding up obviously. Not enough of GoW4 is spoiled to reveal anything significant.
If Odin does already exist, I can see him applauding Kratos for killing Zeus.
>>342070193
>Things aren't adding up obviously.
What isn't adding up?
The troll spoke of Valhalla which isn't 'a heaven' but Odin's meadhall which means Odin exists already.
The boy was playing with a Thor figurine with his distinctive hammer which means he exists already.
The world snake is snaking around so it means Loki already exists.
The kid must be someone else less important to the myths.
>>342028601
why can't any of you broke ass niggas understand the troll though? how can some people read the runes floating around but don't speak the language, or at least have some kind of dictionary to translate it to a modern version
>>342071483
People are translating it. So far, we've got most of the kids tattoos, along with some other shit.
>>342071253
I think the whole action figure thing was stupid as fuck regardless.
Things still don't add up with Kratos.
How long has he existed?
>>342071483
he said 'Fe-fi-fo-fum fahalla'
I believe the troll was demanding to know why Kratos was in Valhalla meaning our favorite Spartan isn't supposed to be there.
>>342030559
It's possible. Athena predates Greek mythos, so anything is actually possible when it comes to her.
>>342071483
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes
>>342071874
>How long has he existed?
greek mythology was 900 BC
norse mythology was 1200 BC
>>342071594
What was translated so far?
>>342073004
valhalla
>>342029092
HOLY SHIT IT'S JORMUNGANDR
>>342072423
That doesn't explain the events between GoW 3 and GoW4, let along the scope of GoW universe itself.
The only solid direction I could find is.
>It’s interesting. In some of the Eddas, the Norse myths — it’s probably the Christianization of the myths at work to some degree — but there are references to Odin having contact with the Roman god Mars. You already see these connections forming. I think it’s their way of trying to shift and connect a lot of these things. To me, it’s almost a natural fit. The Greek element is just Kratos. He’s this stranger in a strange land, experiencing the world in the same way as the player is. He and the player are both figuring it out at the same time.
Roman mythology already encompasses even the creation of the planet itself.
They're using Catholic-era retcons to mix the universes together.
>>342073229
no, the exact quote was "do you have a ticket for val hallen?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlAs4HuCDuw
he was just trying to scalp some stuff outside the venue
>Break an oath they made with a dude to build their walls, because they were too lazy to do it themselves.
>Thor promptly murders him.
so ethics much moral wow
>>342073959

Is that exactly what troll said?
>>342074151

>>342073903
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWu_BFkDFHs
>>342072423
I forgot how to read. I think 1200 BC means it existed BEFORE 900 BC?
>>342071987
He wasn't in Valhalla.
Valhalla is, as the name implies, a hall. He was probably threatening to either send him to Valhalla (ie die in battle) or telling him he won't be going to Valhalla (ie he'll die too dishonorably to be allowed in)
>>342070193
Kratos will probably cause Ragnarok or maybe Odin will enlist his help to try and stop Ragnarok.
>>342075028
Nigger I just watched all that shit and gave the direct interview quote.
There is no time frame spoiled for the game right now.
As far as GoW1-3
>Athena manipulates Kratos to open Pandora's box and defeat Ares, releasing Evil back into the world and absorbing Hope(GOW1)
>Zeus hides the box in Flame of Olympus and the "key" in the labyrinth, while tricking Kratos into another fools errand.(GOW2)
>Titans (mostly Athena) persuade Kratos to usurp the gods and end the corruption by opening the box again. But the box was already empty because he opened it to kill Ares. Instead of taking the power or giving it to Athena, he releases the power back onto the world.(GOW3)
Now queue GoW4
>Insurmountable time has passed since Hope and Chaos was released back onto the world.
>>342076507
What about Ascension, Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta?
>>342077142
what about them? they all deal with kratos's past before gow1 if i remember.
>>342076507
Nigga, in the first 2 minutes he says that all mythologies co-exist at the same time. Kratos only totaled Greece.
>>342077142
Those were filler plot used to expand the universe.
>>342077320
Ghost of Sparta takes place between 1 and 2, explains what happened to his blood family and why Kratos went nuts with rage.
>>342077351
That's a Catholic-era retcon, which I already pointed out with>>342073903
And don't call me a nigga, you hood-rat bitch.
>>342077652
You called me a NIGGER, I'm not even trying to start anything.
Look, considering what David Jaffe's vision was for God of War 3, Kratos is probably going to end up being Jesus or Jehovah anyway.
>>342077442
Are they really filler?
Any ideas if this secret from Ascension is tied to GoW4?
>>342077903
GoW 3 non-special ending is literally Kratos giving free will back to humanity.
GoW4 is suggesting that Kratos released Hope back onto the world because Athena tricked him into releasing Chaos (the Evil) already trying to defeat Ares. Now every single creature has access to "super powers".
Athena is still "alive" btw. That spirit that darted away during the trailer could've easily been her. She might even be Freya. Who fucking knows.
>>342078451
That was confirmed to be a teaser for a cancelled Destiny like MMO by Santa Monica.
>>342078451
Ragnarok probably.
>>342077652
>implying ideas like interpretatin graeca didn't exist long before Rome or Christianity
So I see the Boots in the trailer but where is Wool?
>>342029092
I see no snake
Judging by the interaction between Kratos and son, it seems the latter wasn't really "welcomed to the family"
>>342078652
Do you have a link or something? tried searching but didn't find anything confirming it.
Also, Ascension came out in 2013, and in the interview linked in this thread Jaffe said they have been working on this for 3 years.
>>342078940
in the background above the deer. those really look like scales, and it seems to be moving as well.
>>342078693
irrelevant because old roman/greek mythology already has their own lore set around creation of the planet and life itself.
Norse mythology is only bits and pieces due to the Crusade.
>>342079129
Non same anon but I found this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1z0r7i/sony_santa_monicas_cancelled_game_was_a_new_ip/
>abloobloo reddit get out
Yeah I'm not happy either so fucking deal with it.
>>342079119
Yeah I'm doubting Kratos is the real father.
We don't know anything about the mother yet so no point making up shit.
>>342029092
>>342078940
>>342079243
Looks like a river in a very low-textured mode due to LOD
>>342079746
could be, but Jaffe said he littered the trailer with hints. the texture looks to uniform to me for it to be a river, looks like diamond shaped scales. also in a really odd spot for it to be a river
>>342079746
No LOD is going to make a river look like fucking scales. Are you being retarded on purpose? Not to mention there's a river behind it in the actual video and it looks fucking nothing like that but I'm sure you knew that already and you just want (You)s.
>>342080154
I don't see scales, I see rivers with a lot of stones and... what the proper english for these things on the furface that form bumps and foam formations?
>>342079554
this doesn't confirm the secret was tied to a new ip though. it seems to imply that it is tied to gow4 as the team that made ascension was rumored to be working on a new gow.

I hate to disagree but if you've ever seen an icy river move you'd see something very similar.
Source: I live within walking distance of a major US river junction.
However, the trailer has hidden shit all over it so the "river" being a giant snake is more likely.

>>What does that troll say about Valhalla?
This. I'd like someone who speaks Icelandic to tell me what the fuck that Troll said, please.
>>342080987
its still the same kratos, why would they call it anything else?
>>342080987
It's the leftovers from his past
>>342080923
Correct. I'm just saying that's all I found.
I'm more inclined to believe the image is alluding to either an ice age or Ragnarok.
>The poem Völuspá features Odin in a dialogue with an undead völva, who he imparts in him wisdom from ages past and foretells the onset of Ragnarök; the destruction and rebirth of the world. Among the information the völva recounts is the first human beings (Ask and Embla), found and given life by a trio of gods; Odin, Hœnir, and Lóðurr: In stanza 17 of the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, the völva reciting the poem states that Hœnir, Lóðurr and Odin once found Ask and Embla on land. The völva says that the two were capable of very little, lacking in orlög and says that they were given three gifts by the three gods:
This could tie GoW3 as being "Ragnarok" of the Greek god dynasty. Athena could be the "undead völva" manipulated Odin with false fortune telling.

not sure how correct the information is on this site, but it mentions The Great Winter, three winters in a row, perhaps caused by the earth stopping? if it is tied to gow4 i think youre right with the idea of ragnarok.
How did Kratos end up with such a disappointing kid?
Imagine the pat on the back he would've gotten if he had shot the troll when told.
Kratos being proud of you is probably akin to ambrosia.

Considering raising him is a game mechanic and the demo seems to be a later part of the game, there's a chance if we go through that sequence again, he won't fuck up if you've done good with him.

I figured the spirit could've been Loki or something else.

I've tried Icelandic versions of "You will never enter Valhalla" and "You are not welcome in Valhalla" etc. - none seem to match what the Troll is saying.
He says something like "(words) þygg fyridd Valhalla"; but that's not Icelandic, or if it is, I'm mishearing what the Troll is saying.
I don't think they would have used mumbo-jumbo for what the Troll says, but it's weird. I know Iceland has a tiny population, but surely some motherfucker knows what he's saying.

Messaged a mate of mine who worked on this region. I doubt I'll get anything from him because he doesn't leak and takes his NDA pretty fucking seriously, but hey. Maybe it counts as public now. Also he's probably asleep right now.

The Gods became corrupted and evil at the end of GoW 1 when Kratos opened Pandora's box.
>>342087018
yes but this information wasn't revealed until GoW3
>>342028945
I still believe that this is a elf
>>342043949
Nothing will top Rage of Sparta. I really hope thatt music makes it back in the new GoW.
what if the kid is the personification of Ragnarok and that is why the gods try to kill him and kratos?
