just because it's the end of the world as we know it doesn't mean we can't do a little Easter egg hunting spoilers ahead for much of God of War Ragnarok what was your favorite hidden Easter egg or Secret in God of War Ragnarok Brave fimble winter and let us know down in the comments before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos Frozen Mount know anything about the Frozen Dragon every encounter with balder in 2018's God of War was an event and arguably one of the most standout moments was the battle atop his Dragon Midway through the game after kidnapping atreus and attempting to escape Baldur takes flight on the back of his dragon with Kratos in Hot Pursuit the chase quickly comes to an end as Kratos cuts the dragon's Wings sending everyone plummeting to the lake of nine below in Ragnarok Kratos can find what remains of balder's dragon Frozen to the mountain it crashed on if you happen to discover this with Freya in your company she'll question how it got there and then lament everything that balder put Kratos in atreus through things he put Odin gave the commands Blaine is his skull and Hearty uh hello I think they're sleeping well there you have it the legendary Celestial wolves supremely entertaining as promised God of War Ragnarok already had an unusual launch date releasing on a Wednesday rather than the traditional Tuesday or Friday but given the importance of Odin and the conclusion of the Norse Arc in kratos's Journey Wednesday was a much more fitting release day given the day is derived from Odin's name much in the way Thursday is tied directly to Thor's however there was another reason this release date was eventful and while it may have been unintentional if it was planned then Santa Monica Studio has more foresight than the allfather himself on the eve of ragnarok's release the real world experienced a Blood Moon eclipse not unlike the one featured prominently within the game during Kratos and atreus's exploration of Anaheim we're just all grateful that a real-life Ragnarok event didn't follow suit foreign the crater [Music] the world of the nine Realms is already vast and expansive often calling for a sled or boat for easier traversal of its large environments however one of the game's most impressive worlds is almost completely optional and can easily be missed by those not attempting to complete every side quest the game offers while in vandheim after following helca on the sense of beerger after he seemingly sacrificed himself earlier in the level players will discover a surprisingly vast new area to explore the crater is an absolutely jaw-dropping biome featuring numerous environments puzzles side quests and some of the most valuable rewards in the entire game and this is all entirely optional for those seeking one of the most varied playgrounds in God of War history here he comes my year across the Realms what is it a list of Provisions needed to prepare a meal there's no shortage of side quests and optional missions to complete in God of War Ragnarok but one in particular has more meaning than Gamers might initially realize the side quests across the Realms tells the story of Two Lovers making their Journey Through the nine Realms and sends Kratos on a quest to collect four ingredients in the various Realms that can be found near a heart with runic names emboldened in it the quest is inspired by the real-life Partnership of gameplay programmers Jake Snipes and Sam Hendrick who work together on 2018's God of War before Jake's And Timely passing in 2020 the team at Santa Monica Studio created the tribute for Jake and Sam to honor Jake's memory and the love the two shared as The Ballad of Yari and Soma the destination became less important than simply traveling together what about the unnameable thing it was home Yari and somar had found it in each other Duality lightning you see what I'm seeing a lightning bolt except it's frozen like the one made in my fight with Thor but why would there be one just like it here in vanaheim the aftermath of Kratos and Thor's first encounter was not insignificant and certainly left its mark on the lake of nine with a frozen lightning bolt solidly locked to the Frozen Waters and connecting to a single solitary cloud above every character comments on the lightning bolt as their travels continue but once kratos's Journey brings him to the crater everyone is shocked to discover another lightning bolt positioned exactly the same way as it is in midgard as Kratos explores the crater and completes missions for the various Spirits seeking help he learns that Fey and Thor once clashed much in the way the two did at the start of the game FaZe rage not unlike kratos's caused the destruction and created the crater itself yet another secret Faye kept from Kratos trying to distance herself from her past much like the the retired God of War these stories I have known phase anger but never to this extent we hide the parts we're ashamed of brother the God of Thunder through [Music] not long after a trace makes his way to Asgard he meets through Thor and sif's daughter and the two quickly become fast friends this relationship is tested as their trials for Odin continue but throughout everything the two remain close despite their opposing views of Ragnarok after mjolnir is flung Into The Ether of the nine Realms Gamers would understandably be curious what became of Thor's famous Hammer Kratos and atreus can overhear conversations between thrude and her mother Sif about unfinished business and should players visit the Sands of alfheim after the conclusion of the game they'll find through sitting with mjolnir before effortlessly picking up the hammer and using it to fly across the nine Realms likely to continue her Valkyrie training I've got a good feeling about that rude girl never mind in what family she came I quite agree she's an impressive young woman you're an All-Star but I've had my share of stories about your Homeland but I've also held that you once fought in a tournament I fought in many contests Kratos has had no shortage of fights in his time and the legends of his battles seem to have spread far and wide across not only Greece but also the nine Realms mimir and the other Acer gods are even aware of kratos's reputation even before meeting him we suppose when you're responsible for an entire Pantheon's downfall word gets around while many of these battles Kratos accepts responsibility for it seems there's at least one he prefer to be forgotten mamir will question Kratos about his past specifically Tales of a tournament Kratos took part in in which he battled beasts Scoundrels princesses the undead automaton and History's Greatest musician clearly referencing PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale and its many crossovers with Sony's other first party properties Kratos quickly dismisses the question but mamir having knowledge of this event apparently makes the party game canon in kratos's Legacy that's not I saw two is it I would not speak of this fair enough brother a barely missable Cameo you're planning on killing me at least let me finish this song that alarm was in just the perfect key Creator cameos and video games are nothing new but likely only noticeable by Die Hard fans are those eagerly searching for any hidden Easter egg however there can still be more than a few that go completely overlooked the iconic musical score of 2018's God of War is one of the most memorable aspects of the entire journey and that's truly saying something Santa Monica Studios decided to honor 2018 and ragnarok's composer bear McCreary by making him what else but a Dwarven musician Kratos in a trace encountered bear numerous times during their visits to svartelheim but it's his time during Brock's Funeral that is by far his most poignant for Brock's Memorial bear plays a song he wrote especially for Brock's send-off and it's fittingly touching I wrote that dirge for him him what's he called something profane he wouldn't have it any other way courvoisier's poems that's one of cavacia's poems very high proud it seems the tyr might not have been the only one to travel to Realms outside of midgard if cavassier's various books of poems are to be believed scattered throughout much of the nine Realms Kratos can gather numerous collections of poems by a Vineyard God the tell of strange worlds and creatures and each have their own recognizable artwork on the cover each of these poems refers to other Sony first party franchises such as The Last of Us Part 2 Horizon zero Dawn goes to tsushima and even concrete Genie and her worth a read as they honestly are quite good and creative in their descriptions of their many worlds while many other first party exclusives pay homage to their kin none have managed to do so in a way that encompasses so much of Sony's history into an in-universe homage all at once ever written poetry of your own brother no well ask a stupid question tear lives that can be Lord tear it's the real deal devastating Revelation that tear was not tear coupled with the additional tragedy that accompanied this Revelation sent not only Kratos and his many companions on a roller coaster of emotions but the player as well once the dust settled many US included were left wondering if the real tear might still be out there somewhere or if Odin had actually killed him as mamir suspected during the end game content players can find mentions of a prison that needs to be checked on in the aftermath of asgard's Destruction and if players visit nifelheim they'll notice a bridge that leads to said prison once inside they can find tear the real tear still imprisoned having no idea what has transpired beyond the walls now free tyr can be found checking in on the many Realms learning all that has happened in his absence it's why you won I thank you did you enjoy
