Baldur god of war6/5/2023 ![]() In the original games Kratos killed his own family in Greece as a result of Zeus manipulating his rage. We even see Atreus shoot his Kratos after he destroys the first gateway to Jotunheim so we kow he's capable of rage-based impulsiveness. Is he helping him? Healing him? Talking? The game puts a lot of effort into making you think about patricide, so it's looking a little bleak. We also see this image above in Jotunheim, showing Atreus bending over Kratos, apparently linked in someway by a rope like line. Kratos later admits he killed his own father, Zeus, which becomes a more significant admission as a result. There's a side mission involving a bandit stabbed in the back by his own child, which Atreus fixates on a lot (he can't understand how anyone could do that). Fathers killing sons is a reoccurring theme in God of War.
