ATREUS’ MOTHER One of the big surprises at the end of God of War was finding out the true identity of Atreus ‘ mother. Her name was Faye and she was n’t a mere deadly as Kratos and Atreus thought, but actually a colossus from Jotunheim. ( Remember, giants are a fabulous Norse subspecies and do n’t necessarily have to be large in size ). Faye had the power to prophesize and she carved many murals on the walls of the temple in Jotunheim that depicted the travel of Kratos and Atreus. This is when we find out Atreus ‘ true identity . ATREUS’ TRUE IDENTITY It was revealed that Atreus is actually part giant star, but the surprises did n’t stop there. The wall murals that Faye created in the temple talk about a son named Lok, notAtreus. Kratos is amused and confirms that is the diagnose Faye wanted to call Atreus, actually metric ton named after a well-known Spartan warrior who once crusade aboard Kratos.
Of course, Loki is the very well-known prankster god of Norse Mythology and it makes sense that his mother would be a giant star as Loki was besides a part of that lapp raceway. Loki is responsible for the death of Baldur, son of Odin and Freya, in Norse Mythology just as Atreus had a hand in his end in God of War. Atreus ‘ being Loki brings up a lot of questions that will hopefully be answered in the future game. Kratos catches a glance of a character of the mural Atreus ‘ does n’t see that seems to depict Kratos ‘ death at the hands of his son. Knowing Atreus is Loki, and knowing Loki ‘s distasteful reputation, makes this scenario seem all the more likely . CONNECTION TO THE SERPENT The World Serpent ( Jörmungandr ) that you encounter in the Lake of Nine has a boastfully connection to Atreus in Norse Mythology. During the quest to collect Mimir ‘s second eye from the stomach of the Serpent, Atreus asks why the colossus reptile looked at him in a particular way. Mimir explains that the Serpent felt it knew Atreus before even though they never met, probably a solution of a time travel event described inthe floor of Ragnarok. One specific fib talk of the struggle between Thor and the Serpent, which led to a cataclysmal competitiveness that sent Jörmungandr back to the time time period of God of War.
The Serpent is a part of the giant race arsenic good, and it may recognize Atreus because the young deity was a depart of its future. Or it could be that they are related. In Norse Mythology, Loki is Jörmungandr ‘s beget. possibly the Serpent is actually Atreus ‘ child from the future ? well, since Kratos and Atreus ‘ journey pushed up the date of Ragnarok it seems these questions will be answered in the following game, particularly if you take the privy ending into report. so what do you think of the ending of God of War ? Did you like the twist that Atreus is actually Loki ? Let us know in the comments department below .
