While Atreus and Thor are looking for the mask pieces, Kratos and Frey visit the Norns (essentially the Norse version of “The Fates”) for more information on the prophecy Atreus is seemingly fulfilling. The pair soon learn that Ragnarok will be caused by a flame giant named Surtr and a frost giant named Sinmara. On their journey, Atreus meets up with Angrboda. Thor and Atreus then set out to recover the lost mask pieces. He needs Atreus’ skills with languages to help locate and reassemble the mask pieces, though. Odin (who is surprisingly warm and fatherly towards Atreus) then reveals that he is looking to repair an ancient mask that, among other things, may allow him to make see the truth of the prophecy and perhaps prevent Ragnarok. Kratos is angered by Atreus’ decision, which leads to Atreus running away (and attacking Sindri on his way out for good measure). Unfortunately, Atreus throws a bit of a wrench into that plan by telling Kratos and Freya that he has decided to seek out Odin and join forces with him in order to better understand what Odin’s plans are (and, perhaps, to fulfill that prophecy). In return, Freya agrees to help Kratos and Atreus defeat Odin. By defeating Nidhogg, Kratos is able to help break Odin’s curse and release Freya from her mystical imprisonment. Their reunion is cut short by the appearance of the World Tree defender, Nidhogg.
On their new journey, Kratos and Freya actually meet Freya’s brother, Freyr, in Vanaheim. The pair defeat Freya and agree to help her break the curse which binds her to Midgard. Soon after Atreus return from Ironwood, he and Kratos are again attacked by Freya. Again, that tension will come into play a bit later.
That lie (or withholding of information) creates even more tension between Kratos and Atreus. Unfortunately, that means that Atreus must lie to Kratos about where he’s been. More on that later.īefore they go their separate ways, Angrboda asks Atreus to keep what he knows about Ironwood and the prophecy to himself. The two strike up a pretty quick bond, though, which leaves Angrboda feeling confused about the extent of her involvement in the prophecy. Angrboda believes her role in that prophecy is to inform Atreus/Loki that he is destined to kill Kratos and aid Odin. Angrboda reveals that she is not only one of the Jötnar but that there are other Giants whose souls are still trapped in orbs hidden throughout the world.Ĭrucially, Angrboda also reveals that her mother was the one who crafted the prophecy that Kratos and Atreus saw at the end of the first game (the one which suggested that Kratos will die). One of the first significant early events of Ragnarok’s extended “ending” occurs when Atreus visits the mythical realm of Ironwood and meets a young woman named Angrboda.
