God of War Ragnarok - Kratos Vs. Freya Boss Fight (4K 60FPS)

I realized Freya was so deadset on revenge that she had to hide her face as a Valkyrie for Kratos to actually fight her instead of brushing off her attacks along with evading her.

Kratos did not forget that it was Freya who saved Atreus when he was sick and dying, he cant bring himself to kill her he owes her to much and he understands her pain

The moment she droped with the valkyrie signature kick move and the valkyrie theme started blasting gave serious PTSD

if you read the journal Kratos says of how he refuses to fight her because he considers her a friend. Makes sense because despite his hatred for gods, she proved her self different. They shared common traits, both being parents that unlike thor, odin and zeus cared for their childs lives more than their own. She aided them on their journey countless times, resurrecting mimir, accessing the bifrost, enchanting atreus bow, and what I'm sure won kratos over was her saving his son from the brink of death. of course he wouldn't want to even try to kill her despite her countless attempts of killing them both. She, like Kratos once was, is blinded by anger over the loss of the only one she loved.

1:35 Mimir: poison, don't touch it as Kratos literally on top of it Kratos: Thanks

seeing freya at 3:01 look over at kratos taking atreus into his arms, expressing care and worry about his current state whilst she slowly remembers all about her own child baldur. then she slowly cripples into a pile of rage and misery, releasing all of those urges of killing kratos into one single action. i feel for the woman

This was writing masterfully done. Freya was at war with herself. In her core Freya is a good person and doesn't enjoy hurting others, but she was so lost in her grief and pain that it all she could think about was vengeance. To make it worse is that it is against the people she has grown fond of (Atreus) and respected (Kratos) and those conflicting feelings come to a boil in which she lets out an anguish scream as this was her best chance to kill Kratos but she couldn't fully commit herself to doing it.

HOLY CRAP KRATOS ACTUALLY CALLED SOMEBODY HIS FRIEND!?

Vanadis was actually another Name for Freya in Norse Myth.

Brok came out of nowhere and became a Third wheel of the party is hilarious and Freya just Sigh him lol

Man, Freya is easily my favourite character in the whole Norse saga. That's some top quality "good person wrestling with themselves because their pain is making them do something bad" content right there.

I think that as much as Freya wanted revenge for Baldur she would have never killed Atreus. And if she did I don't know what Kratos would have done. Kill a pantheon again?

Man, what a scene. Even there, Kratos spared Freya and stopped Atreus. Such amazing characters!

I think the fact Kratos knows exactly how Freya feels, what she's going through because he has been in that state himself in the past, is quite interesting indeed. This is not to mention the respect Kratos has for certain individuals like her, shows growth and evolution from the nigh merciless, bloodthirsty killing machine he used to be in the past. His character development across these 2 games has been incredible, where you almost feel what he feels.

"Every agony. Every violation imaginable." If I didn't know this was GOW Ragnarok, I'd think I'd be watching 50 Shades of Grey.

How fantastic was Freya's scream at the end when she realizes she won't be killing Kratos? Anger, grief, desperation, longing, helplessness. You can see everything going through Freya's mind right then and there. Danielle Bisutti is just phenomenal in this game.

Atreus: “Stop, we can free you!” Mimir: “I think she’s free enough, lad.” 😂😂😂

The pause when he says Freya is great. You can see his lips move to say her name but he can't believe it. Lip's movement "fr - fr" "freya" Great touch and acting.

Kratos really out here giving Atreus everything he wasn’t given in his younger days.

3:20 man that scream, top-notch voice acting
